Thunder Bay Mineral Claims

The second drill program would have been conducted on gold-mineralized zones on the Thunder Bay claims, which have been identified from previous and historic work. Subsequent to May 28, 2018, SPGX decided to dispose the investment of the Thunder Bay Claims to focus more on other projects in the field of sustainability. The mineral properties claims located in the Thunder Bay Mining Division in the townships of Rickaby and Lapierre, Ontario, Canada were returned back to its original owner, John Leliever, with the negotiated return of 1,052,631 common shares of SPGX for cancellation on December 31, 2018.

Competitive Conditions

Government Controls and Regulations

 

SPGX’s various business segments are subject to various levels of government controls and regulations, which are supplemented and revised from time to time. Currently, SPGX is in compliance with all business and operations licenses that are typically applicable to most commercial ventures. However, management is unable to predict what additional legislation or revisions may be proposed that might affect its business or when any such proposals, if enacted, might become effective. There can be no assurance that existing or new laws or regulations that may be adopted in various jurisdictions in the future, will not impose additional fees and taxes on SPGX and its business operations. Management is not aware of any such revisions to existing laws and regulations nor new laws or regulations that could have a negative impact on SPGX’s business and add additional costs to SPGX’s business operations. Such changes, however, could require increased capital and operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by SPGX.

 

The effect of these existing regulations on the business segments is that SPGX is able to carry out its current business operations as planned. However, it is possible that future governments could change the regulations that could affect the business operations and limit SPGX’s ability to continue its business operations.

(e) Penny Stock Rules

 

Trading in SPGX’s common shares is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends SPGX’s common shares to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in SPGX’s securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of SPGX’s securities. The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell SPGX’s securities.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

 

SPGX is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF THE PLAN OF OPERATION OF SUSTAINABLE Projects GROUP INC. SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED HEREIN.

 

Overview

 

SPGX is a business development company engaged in project development and holdings through value based investments and collaborative partnerships with companies across sustainable sectors. It is continually evaluating and acquiring assets for holding and or development. SPGX initiated its goals by pursuing investment and partnerships amongst diversified holdings and companies globally. SPGX is currently involved in the following businesses: (1) Consulting Services; and (2) Collaborative partnerships.

Plan of Operation

 

SPGX’s plan of operation for the next 12 months is to continue to evaluate and acquire assets and partnerships for holding or business development activities, and to collaborate, develop and create new assets with a continued focus on sustainability. SPGX is currently evaluating other projects to find attractive partnerships to expand SPGX’s business development activities. Other projects of interest that management is currently researching are in the field of sustainability.

 

Accounting and Audit Plan

 

SPGX has retained a CPA to assist in the bookkeeping and organization of SPGX’s financial records. SPGX’s accountant is expected to charge SPGX approximately $20,000 to maintain SPGX’s financial records for the next 12 months. SPGX’s independent auditor is expected to charge approximately $3,500 to review each of SPGX’s quarterly financial statements and approximately $28,000 to audit SPGX’s annual financial statements. In the next 12 months, SPGX anticipates spending approximately $48,000 to pay for its accounting and audit requirements.

 

SEC Filing Plan

 

As a reporting company, SPGX is required to file documents with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on a quarterly basis. SPGX expects to incur filing costs of approximately $4,000 per quarter to support its quarterly and annual filings. In the next 12 months, SPGX anticipates spending approximately $16,000 for filing costs to pay for three quarterly filings and one annual filing.

 

As at May 31, 2018, SPGX had $1,419 cash and a working capital of $976,589. Accordingly, SPGX will require additional financing to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.

 

Financial Condition

 

As at May 31, 2018, SPGX had a cash balance of $1,419, compared to a cash balance of $161,096 as of May 31, 2017. Management anticipates generating a minimum revenue of $600,000 for the foreseeable future during the next 12 months following the date of this annual report. When additional funds are required, additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of SPGX’s common shares or from debt financing. If SPGX is successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in SPGX. Management cannot provide investors with any assurance that SPGX will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common shares or from debt financing to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of any required funding, SPGX will not be able to execute its plan of operation and its business plan will fail. Even if SPGX is successful in obtaining the required financing and executes its plan of operation, if SPGX does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page 11
   

 

Based on the nature of SPGX’s business, management anticipates incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. Management bases this expectation, in part, on the fact that SPGX will continue to acquire business assets. SPGX’s future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside its control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

 

  ● SPGX’s ability to raise additional funding; and
  ● The ability to find new projects;
  ● The cost of maintaining or developing current assets.

 

Due to SPGX’s lack of operating history and present inability to generate consistent revenues, SPGX’s auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists a substantial doubt about SPGX’s ability to continue as a going concern

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of May 31, 2018, SPGX had total assets of $5,169,005, and a working capital of $976,589, compared with a working capital deficit of $213,788 as of May 31, 2017. The increase in the working capital was primarily due to current assets received through issuance of common stock and notes payable converted to common stock. The assets primarily consisted of $1,419 in cash, $611,250 in prepaid expenses and deposits, $447,400 in receivables, $400,000 in intangible assets, and $3,473,682 in mineral properties, and the liabilities consisted of $68,949 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($38,072 in 2017), and $25,000 in deferred revenue ($30,000 in 2017).

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities increased to $303,012 compared with $36,399 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The use of cash was primarily due to prepayment of certain expenses.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $452,996 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 as compared with cash flow from investing activities of $nil for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The net cash used in investing activities was due to notes receivable and the proceeds from sale of investments.

 

Net Cash Generated from Financing Activities

 

Net cash flows provided from financing activities increased to $596,331 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 as compared with financing activities of $199,495 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The net cash provided from financing activities was due to the proceeds from issuance of common shares. SPGX also settled a CHF 100,000 debt with a related party by issuing 25,000 restricted shares value at $4.00 per share ($100,000).

 

Results of Operation for the Period Ended May 31, 2018

 

SPGX had operating revenues of $65,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 as compared with operating revenues of $5,000 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. SPGX’s activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and proceeds from notes payable. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 SPGX has raised a total of $496,331 from private offerings of its common shares.

 

There were substantial changes between the year ended May 31, 2018 than May 31, 2017. SPGX changed its business focus to pursue investments, partnerships and collaboration across sustainable sectors. SPGX plans to establish strategic business projects in sustainable fields. With the new acquisitions of assets and investments and hire of new employees, SPGX expected the increase in operation expenditures to develop and build the business. At the same time, SPGX continued success and existence will be impacted if SPGX is not able to obtain enough capital through the services it provides or obtain enough capital through additional equity financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

SPGX has no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

 

Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures

 

SPGX had no contingencies or long-term commitments at May 31, 2018.

 

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

 

SPGX is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

SPGX’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of SPGX’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of SPGX’s financial statements.

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page 13
   

 

Going Concern

 

SPGX has limited operations and has sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit. In view of these matters, realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. SPGX has accumulated a deficit of $1,746,279 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. SPGX’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations when they come due. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. SPGX has $1,419 cash on hand as at May 31, 2018. Cash used in operations was $303,012 for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2018. Therefore, SPGX will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations over the next 12-month period. SPGX may seek additional equity as necessary and it expects to raise funds through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand the range of its business. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for SPGX on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Equity Investments

 

SPGX invests in equity securities of public and non-public companies for business and strategic purposes. Investments in public companies are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any. SPGX reviews its equity securities without readily determinable fair values on a regular basis to determine if the investment is impaired. For purposes of this assessment, SPGX considers the investee’s cash position, earnings and revenue outlook, liquidity and management ownership, and among other factors in its review. If management’s assessment indicates that an impairment exists, SPGX estimates the fair value of the equity investment and recognizes in current earnings an impairment loss that is equal to the difference between the fair value of the equity investment and its’ carrying amount.

 

Foreign currency translations

 

SPGX maintains an office in Naples, Florida. The functional currency of SPGX is the U.S. Dollar. At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into U.S. dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured by using the exchange rate in effect at that date.

 

Accounts Receivables

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount SPGX expects to collect. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit worthiness, past transaction history, 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. Based on the management’s assessment, SPGX provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after SPGX has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. There are no receivables considered uncollectible as of May 31, 2018 and there are no trade accounts receivables.

 

Stock based compensation

 

SPGX follows the guideline under ASC 718, Stock Compensation. The standard provides that for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and directors be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. For non-employees stock based compensation, SPGX applies ASC 505 Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees. This standard provides that all stock based compensation related to non-employees be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be most reliably be measured or determinable.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09) as modified by ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The revenue recognition principle in ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, new and enhanced disclosures will be required. Companies may adopt the new standard either using the full retrospective approach, a modified retrospective approach with practical expedients, or a cumulative effect upon adoption approach. SPGX implemented the standard on the effective date of June 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis to contracts which were not completed as of this date. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on SPGX’s financial statements as SPGX did not have a material amount of revenue.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. SPGX does not have any leases at May 31, 2018 and will adopt the provisions effective June 1, 2018.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The provision sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires SPGX to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This provision is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. SPGX is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which is intended to improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. Under the new standard, nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. These equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date. Consistent with the accounting for employee share-based payment awards, an entity considers the probability of satisfying performance conditions when nonemployee share-based payment awards contain such conditions. The new standard also eliminates the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

 

SPGX adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to SPGX as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

SPGX is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sustainable Petroleum Group, Inc. as of May 31, 2017 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit of $330,382 as at May 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 2. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sustainable Projects Group Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sustainable Projects Group Inc. (“the Company”) (formerly known as Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.) as of May 31, 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, has yet to achieve profitable operations, and further losses are anticipated in the development of the business. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2018

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on September 4, 2009 as Blue Spa Incorporated which was engaged in the development of an internet based retailer of a multi-channel concept combining a wholesale distribution with a retail strategy relating to the quality personal care products, fitness apparel and related accessories. On December 19, 2016, the Company amended its name from “Blue Spa Incorporated” to “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” On September 6, 2017, the Company obtained a majority vote from its shareholders to amend the Company’s name from “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” to “Sustainable Projects Group Inc.” to better reflect the business it has undertaken. The name change was effective on October 20, 2017.

 

The Company is a multinational business development company that pursue investments and partnerships with companies across sustainable sectors. It is continually evaluating and acquiring assets for holding and/or for development. The Company is involved in mineral exploration, consulting services and collaborative partnerships.

 

2. Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or “GAAP”, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has limited operations and has sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit and a working capital deficiency. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.

 

The Company has accumulated a deficit of $1,746,279 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company has $1,419 cash on hand as at May 31, 2018. Cash used in operations was $303,012 for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2018. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations over the next 12-month period. The Company may seek additional equity as necessary and it expects to raise funds through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand the range of its business. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

3. Summary of principal accounting policies

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

 

Management has considered segment reporting for the current period and found that there were not material segments as of May 31, 2018 and May 31, 2017.

 

Foreign currency translations

 

The Company maintains an office in Naples, Florida. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into U.S. dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured by using the exchange rate in effect at that date.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Intangible assets

 

Included in intangible asset is the acquisition of the Gator Lotto App. The purchase includes the application for the Florida lotteries, all software rights to the Gator Lotto App, the domain, etc. This is amortized over its estimated useful life. The gross cost and accumulated amortization of the intangible asset will be removed when the recorded amounts are fully amortized and the asset is no longer in use.

 

Comprehensive income

 

The Company has adopted ASU 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

 

For the year ended May 31, 2018 there are no material reconciling items between the net loss presented in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss as defined by ASU 220.

 

Loss per share

 

The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss (numerator) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. All EPS presented in the financial statements are basic EPS as defined by ASU 260, “Earnings Per Share”. There are no diluted net income/ (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments, hence a state of anti-dilution has occurred. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value.

 

Website development costs

 

The Company recognized the costs associated with developing a website in accordance with ASC 350-50 “Website Development Cost” that codified the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) NO. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”. Relating to website development costs the Company follows the guidance pursuant to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) NO. 00-2, “Accounting for Website Development Costs”. The website development costs are divided into three stages, planning, development and production. The development stage can further be classified as application and infrastructure development, graphics development and content development. In short, website development cost for internal use should be capitalized except content input and data conversion costs in content development stage.

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page F-9
 

 

Costs associated with the website consist primarily of website development costs paid to third party. These capitalized costs will be amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years upon the website becoming operational. Internal costs related to the development of website content will be charged to operations as incurred. Web-site development costs related to the customers are charged to cost of sales.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company maintains United States Dollars. The Company minimizes its credit risks associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution.

 

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue is a short-term liability that represents revenues received but not earned. When the Company recognizes its revenue, the deferred revenue liability will be eliminated. As at May 31, 2018, the Company received $25,000 deferred revenue. This was primarily composed of prepaid consulting services fees.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605-10 “Revenue Recognition” and Staff Accounting Bulletin No.104 which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred; 3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature or the underlying terms are consistent with market terms. It is the management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Mineral property costs and impairment

 

All costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral and property rights are capitalized upon acquisition. To determine if the capitalized mineral property costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, the Company shall conduct periodic evaluation of the carrying value of the capitalized costs based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance to ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”. Exploration and pre-extraction expenditures shall be expensed until such time the Company exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to search for mineralized materials shall be expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities such as construction of mine, well fields, ion exchange facilities and disposal wells shall be expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for a particular project, after which subsequent expenditures relating to mine development activities for the particular project shall be capitalized as incurred. As at May 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment of $276,318 for the mineral properties.

 

Fair value measurements

 

The Company follows the guidelines in ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page F-10
 

 

The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. All financial instruments approximate fair value.

 

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

 

Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 

Related parties

 

Related parties are affiliates of the Company, principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of the principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Another party also is a related party if it can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

Equity investments

 

The Company invests in equity securities of public and non-public companies for business and strategic purposes. Investments in public companies are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any. The Company reviews its equity securities without readily determinable fair values on a regular basis to determine if the investment is impaired. For purposes of this this assessment, the Company considers the investee’s cash position, earnings and revenue outlook, liquidity and management ownership, and among other factors in its review. If management’s assessment indicates that an impairment exists, the Company estimates the fair value of the equity investment and recognizes in current earnings an impairment loss that is equal to the difference between the fair value of the equity investment and its’ carrying amount.

 

Accounts receivables

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit worthiness, past transaction history, 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. Based on the 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. There are no receivables considered uncollectible as of May 31, 2018. As of May 31, 2018, there are no trade accounts receivables.

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page F-11
 

 

Stock based compensation

 

The Company follows the guideline under ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. The standard provides that for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and directors be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. For non-employees stock based compensation, the Company applies ASC 505 Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees. This standard provides that all stock based compensation related to non-employees be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be most reliably be measured or determinable.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company follows the guideline under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Since the Company is in the developmental stage and has losses, no deferred tax asset or income taxes have been recorded in the financial statements. There are no uncertain tax positions as at May 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax returns in the State of Nevada as its major tax jurisdictions. The Company maintains an office in the State of Florida and has also filed its registration there, and shall be subject to state tax returns in Florida as well.

 

4. Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09) as modified by ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The revenue recognition principle in ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, new and enhanced disclosures will be required. Companies may adopt the new standard either using the full retrospective approach, a modified retrospective approach with practical expedients, or a cumulative effect upon adoption approach. The Company implemented the standard on the effective date of June 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis to contracts which were not completed as of this date. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company did not have a material amount of revenue.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not have any leases at May 31, 2018 and will adopt the provisions effective June 1, 2018.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The provision sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This provision is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page F-12
 

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which is intended to improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. Under the new standard, nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. These equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date. Consistent with the accounting for employee share-based payment awards, an entity considers the probability of satisfying performance conditions when nonemployee share-based payment awards contain such conditions. The new standard also eliminates the requirement to reassess classification of such awards upon vesting. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

 

The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

5. Note receivable

 

On June 28, 2017, the Company entered into a note receivable with a company with a common director of the Company in the amount of $200,000 with an interest rate of 3.5% per annum that is payable annually. Any unpaid interest shall be added to the principal of the loan on an annual basis and together will become the new amount used to calculate the amount of interest going forward. The note receivable, together with any accrued interest outstanding, is due March 15, 2022.

 

As of May 31, 2018, the balance and interest owing was $206,463.

 

Principal     Interest     Total  
               
$ 200,000     $ 6,463     $ 206,463  

 

Other receivables – related party

 

On January 18, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Amixca AG for a period of three years commencing February 1, 2018 to provide business development services. The prepayment of $190,000 to Amixca AG was supposed to serve as consulting fees over the next three year period. The consulting agreement with Amixca AG was never utilized and Amixca AG did not provide any services. The consulting agreement was annulled and Amixca AG agreed to return the deposit with a payment schedule spanning over a year, beginning July 5, 2019 of $20,000 and thereafter, the first of every month of $15,455 until the full $190,000 has been repaid. As of the date of this report, the Company is in receipt of repayment of $35,455. (See Note 14)

 

The Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated July 25, 2017 with Flin Ventures AG to purchase all the shares of myfactor.io AG for $175,500 (EUR 150,000) subject to due diligence, buy back of an outstanding bond issued by myfactor.io AG for $83,496 (EUR 70,000) and other conditions. Effective December 4, 2017, myfactor.io AG was purchased and the acquisition was classified as a held for sale asset and was recorded at fair market value. Due diligence costs with respect to this Share Purchase Agreement were included in investments. Each company was managed and financed autonomously. The Company held the asset and subsequently sold this asset in its present condition as at May 31, 2018 for $257,400 (EUR 220,000). Subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2018, the Company received incremental payments, spanning over the next 6 months, for the sale of the asset. (See Note 14)

6. Investments

 

As of July 6, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 20% ownership of SPG (Europe) AG by purchasing 2,000 shares of SP Group (Europe) AG from a shareholder of SP Group (Europe) AG, in exchange for the issuance of 6,000 common shares of the Company at a value of $3.50 per share, which was the fair value of the shares at the time of the transaction. In accordance to the Dividend Agreement signed by the parties, the Company is to receive 20% of the declared dividends. The Company shares a common director, common management and a majority shareholder with SP Group (Europe) AG. As a result, it was determined that the Company would ordinarily have significant influence; however, the investee lacks the financial information that the Company, and any other shareholder, would need to apply the equity method of accounting. The Company has attempted and failed to obtain that information and accordingly concluded it appropriate to account for the investment using the cost method at this time.

 

On January 18, 2018, the Company sold 25% interest of its ownership of SP Group (Europe) AG for $6,000. Therefore, the Company now holds 15% interest of SP Group (Europe) AG. The sale from SP Group (Europe) AG created a gain of $750 for the Company. Subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2018, the Company sold all their remaining shares of SP Group (Europe) on December 26, 2018 back to SP Group (Europe) AG for $15,000. (See Note 14).

 

On January 30, 2018, the Company acquired 10% ownership of Falcon Projects AG by purchasing 10 shares of Falcon Projects by issuing 10,000 shares of the Company valued at $4.20 per share. On December 26, 2018, the Company sold all of their shares of Falcon Projects AG for $11,000. (See Note 14).

As consideration for an assignment of the lease deposit to the Company, the Company issued Mr. Greising 400,000 restricted shares of common stock. In addition, the owner of the office building granted a sublease of the office from SP Group (Europe) AG to the Company rent-free for a term of 10 years commencing July 1, 2017 to be completed and terminated on June 30, 2027. The shares were valued at $3.50 per share, which was the fair value of the shares at the time of the transaction, for a valuation of $1,400,000.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

Since inception on September 4, 2009, there were no disagreements with SPGX’s principal accountants on any matter of accounting principle or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. In addition, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K that occurred within SPGX’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods. SPGX’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm since May 4, 2018 has been Fruci & Associates, Certified Public Accountants of Spokane, Washington. From May 3, 2017 to May 4, 2018 SPGX’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm was MNP LLP of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by SPGX’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of May 31, 2018. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on that evaluation, SPGX’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information was accumulated or communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In particular, SPGX has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. SPGX’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of SPGX’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of SPGX’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  ● pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of SPGX’s assets;
     
  ● provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
     
  ● provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of SPGX’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control –Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of SPGX’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page 19
 

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on SPGX’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by SPGX’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of its financial statements as of May 31, 2018 and 2017 and communicated the matters to management.

 

As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management has concluded that, as of May 31, 2018, SPGX’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on SPGX’s financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on SPGX’s board of directors caused and continues to cause an ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of the required internal controls over financial reporting.

 

SPGX is committed to improving its financial organization. As part of this commitment and when funds are available, SPGX will create a position to SPGX to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase its personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function by: (i) appointing one or more outside directors to its board of directors who will also be appointed to the audit committee of SPGX resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting; and (ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists that will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who will also be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on SPGX’s Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses: (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support SPGX if personnel turn-over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues SPGX may encounter in the future.

 

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of SPGX’s internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

SPGX’s independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of SPGX’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result, this annual report does not include an attestation report of SPGX’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. SPGX was not required to have, nor has SPGX, engaged its independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit SPGX to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page 22
 

 

(e) Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

Section 16(a) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers and 10% or greater shareholders of SPGX to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company (Form 4 and Form 5) and to provide copies of all such Forms as filed to SPGX. Based solely on SPGX’s review of the copies of these forms received by it or representations from certain reporting persons, management believes that SEC beneficial ownership reporting requirements for fiscal 2018 were met, with the exception of the following: (1) Stefan Muehlbauer failed to file a Form 3 – Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities in a timely manner and a Form 5 - Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities; (2) Lilibeth Fani Grunder failed to file a Form 3 – Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities in a timely manner and a Form 5 - Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities; (3) Dr. Philip Grothe failed to file a Form 3 – Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities in a timely manner, a Form 4 – Change of Beneficial Ownership of Securities in a timely manner, and a Form 5 - Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities; (4) Christian Winzenried failed to file a Form 3 – Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities in a timely manner and a Form 5 - Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities; (5) Suha Hächler failed to file a Form 3 – Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities in a timely manner and a Form 5 - Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities; and (6) Christopher Grunder failed to file a Form 4 – Change of Beneficial Ownership of Securities in a timely manner, a Form 5 - Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities; and another Schedule 13D in a timely manner.

 

(f) Nomination Procedure for Directors

 

SPGX does not have a standing nominating committee; recommendations for candidates to stand for election as directors are made by the board of directors. SPGX has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend candidates for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors.

 

(g) Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

SPGX has no financial expert. Management believes the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. SPGX’s Board of Directors has determined that it does not presently need an audit committee financial expert on the Board of Directors to carry out the duties of the Audit Committee. SPGX’s Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director of SPGX and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.

 

(h) Identification of Audit Committee

 

SPGX does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. Rather, SPGX’s entire board of directors perform the required functions of an audit committee. Currently, each director is a member of SPGX’s audit committee, but only Dr. Philip Grothe and Ms. Lilibeth Fani Grunder meet SPGX’s independent requirements for an audit committee member. See “Item 13. (c) Director independence” below for more information on independence.

 

SPGX’s audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of SPGX’s independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by SPGX’s employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditor and any outside advisors engaged by the audit committee.

 

As of May 31, 2018, SPGX did not have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

 

(i) Code of Ethics

 

SPGX has adopted a financial code of ethics that applies to all its executive officers and employees, including its CEO and CFO. See Exhibit 14 – Code of Ethics for more information. SPGX undertakes to provide any person with a copy of its financial code of ethics free of charge. Please contact SPGX at 239-307-2925 to request a copy of SPGX’s financial code of ethics. Management believes SPGX’s financial code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code. Management is currently updating is Code of Ethics, and will file an updated Code of Ethics when completed.

See Exhibit 10.2 - Property Purchase Agreement for more details.

 

(2) Dr. Philip Groethe - Loan to Alimex GmbH

Sustainable Projects Group Inc. Form 10-K – 2018 Page 26
 

 

(6) SP Group (Europe) AG

 

SP Group (Europe) AG and SPGX share a common majority shareholder. SPGX entered into a three year consulting agreement with SP Group (Europe) AG whereby SPGX will provide advisory and consulting services commencing May 1, 2017. The agreement provides that SP Group (Europe) AG pays SPGX as follows:

The purchase includes the application for the Florida lotteries, all software rights to the Gator Lotto App, the domain, etc.

 

(b) Promoters and control persons

 

From inception of SPGX on September 4, 2009 to July 2016, Law Yau Yau was the only promoter of SPGX’s business, and from July 2016 to February 2017 Suha Hächler was the only promoter of SPGX’s business. From February 2017 to May 2018 Mr. Hächler and Christian Winzenried were the only promoters of SPGX’s business. Since May 2018 Stefan Muehlbauer has been the only promoter of SPGX’s business. No promoter of SPGX has received anything of value from SPGX nor is any person entitled to receive anything of value from SPGX for services provided as a promoter of the business of SPGX.

 

(c) Director independence

 

SPGX’s board of directors currently consists of Stefan Muehlbauer, Dr. Philip Grothe, and Lilibeth Fani Grunder. Pursuant to Item 407(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, SPGX’s board of directors has adopted the definition of “independent director” as set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual. In summary, an “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of SPGX or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of SPGX’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and includes any director who accepted any compensation from SPGX in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months with the three past fiscal years. Also, the ownership of SPGX’s stock will not preclude a director from being independent.

 

In applying this definition, SPGX’s board of directors has determined that Dr. Grothe and Ms. Fani Grunder each qualify as an “independent director” pursuant to the same rule.

 

As of the date of the report, SPGX did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee.

 

SPGX has also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee. Each of the directors is a member of SPGX’s audit committee. SPGX’s board of directors has determined that only Dr. Grothe and Ms. Fani Grunder are “independent” for purposes of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual, applicable to audit, compensation and nominating committee members, and are “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act.

The Employer and Employee agree that, if any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines the specified time period or the specified geographic area applicable to this Section 7 to be invalid, unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, a lesser time period and/or geographic area which is determined to be reasonable, non-arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the Employee. The Employer and the Employee agree that the foregoing covenants are appropriate and reasonable when considered in light of the nature and extent of the business conducted by the Employer and Employee’s access to the Employer’s proprietary and confidential information.

 

8. Confidential Information

 

During the term of the Agreement and thereafter, Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of Employer, divulge, disclose, give or sell to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever any information which Employee received directly or indirectly from Employer or which Employee acquires or develops in the course of, or incident to his or her employment by Employer including but not limited to, prices, discounts, terms and conditions of sale, customers, business affairs, products, product specifications, designs, plans, manufacturing processes, trade secrets, data and know-how, ideas or technical information. The Employee acknowledges that all such information as described previously in this Section 7, as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and unique asset of the Employer’s business and constitutes trade secrets of the Employer.

 

9. Disclosure

 

The Employee agrees that he or she will fully disclose and disclose only to the Employer all ideas, methods, plans, developments, improvements or patentable inventions, of any kind, known, made or discovered by him during the performance of his or her duties under this Agreement.

 

     

 

 

 

The Employee also agrees that he or she will fully disclose and disclose only to the Employer all ideas, methods, plans, developments, improvements or patentable inventions which relate directly or indirectly to the business of the Employer and which are known, made or discovered by the Employee at any time during the term of his employment by the Employer. All disclosures are to be made promptly after conception or discovery of the idea, method, plan, development, improvement or invention. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be construed as requiring any communication to the Employer of the ideas, method, plan, development, improvement or invention if lawfully protected by any other lawful prohibition against such communication.

 

10. Applicable Law

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Florida.

 

11. Severability

 

If any term or provision of this Agreement or application thereof to any circumstance shall to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such term of provision to circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

12. Binding Nature

 

The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Employer and its respective successors, legal representatives, and assigns. This Agreement is a personal employment contract and the rights, obligations and interests of the Employee hereunder may not be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred.

 

13. Entire Agreement

 

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be changed or modified only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto.
