Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


Note 1.  Description of Business

Zhen Ding Resources Inc. (formerly Robotech Inc.) (the “Company”, “Zhen Ding DE”, or “ZDRI”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in September 1996 and began its business activities in the development and marketing of specialized technological equipment. In early 2010, the business direction of our Company was changed to seek opportunities to focus particularly on searching for companies engaged in the mining of gold, silver and copper.

The Company, then known as Robotech Inc., entered into negotiations with Zhen Ding Resources Inc., a Nevada entity (“Zhen Ding NV”). Zhen Ding NV indirectly owns 70% of a Chinese Joint Venture entity, Zhen Ding Mining Co. Ltd. (“Zhen Ding JV” or “JXZD”) through a 100% owned subsidiary in California, Zhen Ding Corporation (“Z&W CA”). During 2012 and 2013, total issued and outstanding common stock of Zhen Ding NV were tendered to our Company. On October 28, 2013, our Company dissolved Zhen Ding NV by merging it into our Company and we changed our name from Robotech Inc. to Zhen Ding Resources Inc.

Our Company, now through Zhen Ding NV’s wholly owned subsidiary, Z&W CA, participates in a joint venture with Jing Xian Xinzhou Gold Co., Ltd. (“Xinzhou Gold”), a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The joint venture company JXZD is 70% held by our Company through Z&W CA who has the mineral exploration, mineral mining and gold mining rights to a property located in the southwestern part of Anhui province in China, near the town of Jing Xian. Xinzhou Gold, the other 30% partner of JXZD is the actual named owner of the various licenses used by JXZD and transferred all rights emanating from these licenses as part of the joint venture agreement between Z&W CA and Xinzhou Gold. Our Company’s primary activity, through JXZD, is ore processing and production in China. The Company had limited operations and plans to resume selling processed ore concentrate as soon as possible to provide Zhen Ding JV the cash flow needed to keep its plant operating and to maintain a viable work force for future expansion.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for the integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, it’s wholly subsidiaries Z&W CA and its majority owned subsidiary JXZD. All intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated. The portion of the income applicable to non-controlling interests in subsidiary undertakings is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Adjustments

Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Any translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit and have no effect on current earnings. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in current results of operations. During the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had aggregate foreign currency translation losses of $54,575 and $47,555, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company fully reserved the accounts receivable $178,440 and $177,087, respectively, for doubtful accounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:
Buildings
20 years
Motor vehicles
5 years
Production and office Equipment
5 years
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.  Significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.  The costs and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the year of disposal.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be realizable or at a minimum annually during the fourth quarter of the year.  If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if an impairment of such asset is necessary.  The effect of any impairment would be to expense the difference between the fair value of such asset and its carrying value.
Income Taxes

An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carry forwards. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. The Company has tax losses that may be applied against future taxable income. The potential tax benefit arising from these loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty of profitable operations in the future.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash, accounts payable and short-term debt, approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, due to their short-term nature.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent’s equity. Purchase or sale of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results of operations attributable to the minority interest are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For all periods presented, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events subsequent to March 31, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued for disclosure consideration.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ACU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Disclosures are required if there is substantial doubt as to the company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of financial statements. The standard provides guidance for making the assessment, including consideration of management’s plans which may alleviate doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted this standard for the year ending December 31, 2016, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of the financial statements.



In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard.
Note 3. Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had no recurring sources of revenues and had accumulated losses of $ 18,678,965 since inception and a working capital deficit of $7,814,563 at March 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


Note 4. VAT Receivables

The VAT receivables are the input tax of VAT to the purchased materials and property and equipment. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company wrote down the VAT receivable of approximately $155,000, due to uncertainty of recovering this receivable from the local tax authority.

In the PRC, land use rights, are the legal rights for an entity to use land for a fixed period of time. The PRC adopts dual land tenure system under which land ownership is independent of land use rights. The land is either owned by the state (“State Land”) or by rural collective economic organization (“Collective Land”). As of March 31, 2017, the Company does not have any land use rights agreements with the PRC for the office buildings owned by the Company. The Government owns the land where the Company’s buildings are located and allows the Company free usage of the land.

Property and equipment mainly consisted of equipment or buildings in relation to ore processing operation in Anhui, China. The Company only had access to lower quality ore powder and the probability to sell these low quality processed ore powder is low. Accordingly, the Company had no production since 2015.

At December 31, 2015, the Company determined that the long-lived assets have been impaired because of the reduction in the production, projections of declining future cash flows and the uncertainty of continuing operations. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the ongoing value of the property and equipment associated with its ore processing operation and determined that assets with a carrying amount of approximately $1.5 million were no longer recoverable and were in fact impaired. The Company wrote the assets down to their estimated fair value.

Fair value was based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by the market participants, discounted at the risk-free rate of interest. At December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an approximately $1.8 million impairment loss on the assets, which was reflected as a separate line item in the income statement.
Note 6. Related Party Transactions

Accounts payable

$3,602,362 and $3,541,957 of debt was in default. The Company has not received any demand for payment from these creditors.

Note 7. Deferred Revenues

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had deferred revenue of $ 146,062 and $144,926, respectively, related to advances that the Company received from its customers.
Note 8. Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

Substantially all of the Company’s bank accounts are in banks located in The People’s Republic of China and are not covered by protection similar to that provided by the FDIC on funds held in United States banks.

Vulnerability Due to Operations in PRC

The Company’s operations in China may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than twenty years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective in the future.
Note 9. Income Taxes


The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an "entity" basis that is, on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. It is management's intention to reinvest all the income earned by the Company's subsidiaries outside of the US. Accordingly, no US federal income taxes have been provided on earnings of the foreign based subsidiaries.

The Company was incorporated in the United States and is subject to United States federal income taxes and has incurred operating losses since its inception. The Company's joint venture in China is subject to a 25% statutory PRC enterprise income tax rate and has also incurred operating losses since its inception. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had net operating losses (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $19 million. The NOL carryforwards expire between fiscal year 2016 through 2035. The value of these carryforwards depends on the Company’s ability to generate taxable income. Tax laws in both China and United States limit the time during which the net operating loss carryforwards may be applied against future taxes, if the Company fails to generate taxable income prior to the expiration dates, the Company may not be able to fully utilize the net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income taxes. The Company has had cumulative losses and there is no assurance of future taxable income; therefore, valuation allowances have been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

General Overview

We are engaged in seeking business partnership opportunities with companies that are in the field of exploration and extraction of precious and/or base metals, primarily in China, which are in need of funding and improved management.  We would provide the necessary management expertise and assist in financing efforts of these mining operations.  In exchange, we would acquire metal ores produced by these mines and process the ores in our ore milling plant and sell the ore concentrates to metal refineries.  Our only operating company is Zhen Ding JV, which engages in the processing of metal ore and the selling of ore concentrates of gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper at purity levels ranging from 65% to 80%.  Zhen Ding JV purchases metal ore in rock form from its joint venture partner, Xinzhou Gold, which has rights to explore and mine ore from a property located in the southwestern part of Anhui province in China.

Our Corporate History and Structure

Our principal office is located at 353 St. Nicolas, Suite 205, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 2P1.

Our operational offices are located at:  Zhen Ding Mining Co. Ltd., Wuxi County, Town of Langqiao, Jing Xian, Anhui Province, China, Tel: 86-6270-9018.


We were incorporated in September 1996 as Robotech Inc., and began our business in the development and marketing of specialized technological equipment. At that time we estimated that we would require approximately $6,000,000 to realize our plans. Through the year of 2003, we had not reached our financing goals and therefore abandoned that particular business plan. Since that time, we have been seeking suitable candidates for acquisition.

From the early 2000s until approximately 2013, there was an overall worldwide recovery in the price and markets for precious metals, minerals and industrial commodities. Such interest was fueled to a large degree, by the economic awakening of the two most populous nations, China and India and further bolstered by a sharp decline in the US dollar. These circumstances resulted in significant increases in the market prices of gold, silver and copper. Thus, in early 2010, the business direction of our company was changed to seek to profit from this commodities revival, and we began to focus our acquisition search in that industry, particularly on companies engaged in the mining of gold, silver and copper.

In January 2012, our board of directors, with authorization from the majority of the shareholders of our company, made an offer to the shareholders of Zhen Ding Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Zhen Ding NV”), to acquire, at the very least, the majority of their common shares, and, if available, up to 100% ownership.

Zhen Ding NV through its wholly owned subsidiary, Z&W Zhen Ding Corporation, a California corporation (“Zhen Ding CA”), has been engaged in a joint venture with Jing Xian Xinzhou Gold Co., Ltd. (“Xinzhou Gold”), a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The joint venture company, Zhen Ding Mining Co. Ltd. (“Zhen Ding JV”) is 70% held by Zhen Ding NV through Zhen Ding CA.  It is a common practice in China to append the name of the town or city where an enterprise is located to its legally incorporated name. Thus many documents referencing Zhen Ding JV may refer to it as Jing Xian Zhen Ding Mining Co. Ltd. Zhen Ding JV engages in the processing of metal ore and the selling of ore concentrates of gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper at purity levels ranging from 65% to 80%.  Zhen Ding JV purchases metal ore in rock form from Xinzhou Gold.

On March 8, 2012, we changed our name from Robotech, Inc. to Zhen Ding Resources Inc., in anticipation of the acquisition of Zhen Ding NV. Our trading symbol, RBTK, however remained unchanged.

During 2012, a total of 50,746,358 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of Zhen Ding NV were tendered to our company. On August 13, 2013, an additional 13,100,000 shares were tendered to us. Thus, as of August 13, 2013 the shareholders of Zhen Ding NV had tendered 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Zhen Ding NV to us.

On October 23, 2013, we issued 122,440 shares of our common stock, on a one-for-one basis, to the tendering shareholders of Zhen Ding NV making Zhen Ding NV a wholly owned subsidiary of our company.
On October 28, 2013, we dissolved Zhen Ding NV by merging it with and into Zhen Ding DE.  As a result, Zhen Ding CA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhen Ding DE.  Zhen Ding CA continues to exist as an intermediate holding company with no operations of its own, but which in turn owns our 70% interest in Zhen Ding JV.

The following illustrates our corporate and share ownership structure:

Current Operations

Presently, we are conducting our operations exclusively through Zhen Ding JV, our joint venture company. However, we continue to look for other attractive potential acquisition targets in the mining industry.

Our joint venture, Zhen Ding JV, is equipped to process ore mined by our joint venture partner Xinzhou Gold when in operation.  Zhen Ding JV purchases the ore in rock form from Xinzhou Gold and processes the ore into our final product, which is a gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper ore concentrate. We estimate that our processed product is 65% to 80% pure. The product is then sold to refineries which further purify and separate the concentrate.  Zhen Ding JV also arranges all exploration, mining process and operations, and financial and administrative support for Xinzhou Gold’s mine, known as the Wuxi Gold Mine.
We purchase all of our raw material from Xinzhou Gold for our ore processing operation and rely solely on Xinzhou Gold for our supply of ores.  The veins most recently excavated by Xinzhou Gold in the permitted areas of our mines are very low grade and, as such, the production is minimal. The higher yielding and therefore more profitable veins run outside Xinzhou Gold’s permitted mining area boundaries under its current license. Xinzhou Gold applied for an extension of the permitted mining area, however, the application was rejected by the government in December 2016 due to Xinzhou Gold’s insufficient working capital. Xinzhou Gold intends to reapply for an extension of the permitted mining area when it is able to demonstrate sufficient working capital to drill the extended area. However, if sufficient working capital is unavailable, or should the application be denied on other grounds, we would not be able to secure another source with higher grade ores for our processing plant, which would severely limit our ability to execute our plan of operation and our potential profitability.

At the beginning of fiscal 2015, we idled our mineral processing plant due to an overall downturn in the demand and market prices for our concentrates.  This downturn has coincided with an overall economic recession in China and downturn in the global commodities market over the past 12 months.

Summary of Operations during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we actively sought an investment of approximately $3,000,000, which we believe is required to expand Xinzhou Gold’s mining permit, and which would allow us to resume our ore extraction and refinery activities.  However, as at the date of this report we have not successfully secured any financing commitment.

Due to our continued inability to raise sufficient financing to expand Xinzhou Gold’s mining permit, Xinzhou Gold elected to reapply for a new drilling permit based on a scaled-down drilling plan.  The resulting new permit application, which was submitted to the Anhui Province Land & Resources Bureau for approval on March 8, 2017, seeks renewed permission to continue drilling in the areas directly adjacent to our concentration plant.

We intend to resume selling processed ore concentrate as soon as possible in order to supply Zhen Ding JV with the cash flow needed to keep its plant running and to maintain a viable work force for future expansion.  However, we are not able to predict at this time when economic conditions will allow us to resume our ore refinery operation.

As at the date of this report, Xinzhou Gold and we continue to seek investment of approximately $3,000,000, which would allow Xinzhou Gold to resume drilling under its anticipated permit, and allow us to resume refinery activities.  In anticipation of financing and permit approval, our joint venture engaged contractors during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to conduct safety inspections and repairs, and to plan anticipated drilling locations.  We also engaged Mr. Dai Honglin as Chief Engineer and general manager of Xinzhou Gold’s and our gold mining operations.

Mr. Dai brings over thirty years’ experience to our company in the evaluation, development and exploration of gold, copper, zinc, and lithium projects throughout China and South Africa. He completed training in mineral exploration at the Heilongjiang Institute of Mines in 1983. Mr. Dai also currently holds the position of the chairman of Beijing Hongbang Pile Geotechnical Engineering Co., Ltd.

Going forward, we will continue to seek sufficient financing to re-establish our mineral extraction and refining operations.  We will also seek to identify and evaluation businesses opportunities and other strategic transactions on an ongoing basis with a view toward diversifying our business and optimizing shareholder value.

We have not earned any revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2017 or March 31, 2016.  Our lack of revenue is due to our inability to find better quality materials for our production.

We had a net loss of $187,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which was $23,493 more than the net loss of $164,298 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change in our results over the two periods is a result of an increase in professional fees due to filings made in compliance with the regulations of being a public company.

As of March 31, 2017, we had current assets of $33,771 consisting entirely of cash, current liabilities of $7,848,334 and a working capital deficit of $7,814,563. This compares to our current assets of $6,918 (also consisting of cash), current liabilities of $7,579,115, and working capital deficit of $7,572,197 as of December 31, 2016.  The increase in cash and in liabilities during the most recent period resulted primarily from receipt of related party loans and the accumulation of interest expense on related party loans.

As of March 31, 2017, we had accumulated losses of $18,678,965 since inception. We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations further in the future.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $35,046, a 58% increase from the $22,141 in net cash outflow during the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The increase was a result of a marginal increase in our business activities during the most recent period.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no sales and did not purchase any raw materials.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $61,895, which was a 74% increase from the $35,571 cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The increase was a result of more related party loans during the most recent period.

Plan of Operation

Our operating plan for the 12 months beginning from April 1, 2017 is as follows:

• Continue to pursue potential financing activities.

• The funds raised would be used to (a) identify additional veins, (b) to re-start the mill, (c) re-test the mill, (d) develop expansion plans for our plant capacity, (e) drilling additional holes near the concentration plant and (f) undertake at least three deep drill holes in the permit area.

• To re-commence greater milling operations as soon as possible. This will involve re-hiring all personnel laid off as a result of the mining halt.

• Actively seek partnerships with mining enterprises primarily active in the gold, silver and/or copper fields and subject to the general parameters described earlier to increase our supply of raw material.

The extent of this program is dependent on the success of the $3,000,000 financing efforts currently underway, as described earlier.

Accordingly, we estimate that our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:
Estimated Net Expenditures During The Next Twelve Months
General and administrative expenses
$
1,000,000
Exploration expenses: identify additional veins; re-start mill; re-test mill;
develop expansion plan for plant capacity
$
2,000,000
Total
$
3,000,000

To date we have relied on proceeds from the sale of our shares and on loans from our directors and officers in order to sustain our basic minimum operating expenses; however, we cannot guarantee that we will secure any further sales of our shares or that our related parties with provide us with any future loans.  We estimate that the cost of maintaining our current operations and reporting requirements will be approximately $20,000 per month.   Due to our cash position of $33,771 as of March 31, 2017, we estimate that we will require approximately $207,000 to sustain our current operations for the next twelve months, or approximately $3,000,000 to execute our above described exploration plan.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.

We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, and capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Foreign Currency Adjustments

Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Any translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and have no effect on current earnings. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in current results of operations.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interests in our company’s subsidiaries are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent’s equity. Purchase or sale of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results of operations attributable to the minority interest are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when products are shipped, title and risk of loss is passed to the customers and collection is reasonably assured. Payments received prior to the satisfaction of above criteria are deferred.

Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
