NOTE–3 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Company reported a loss of $117,205 and working capital deficit of $432,810 as of April 30, 2019. 

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will expect, among other things, to generate more profitable operations in the future and/or additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to raise adequate resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2019

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

(Unaudited)

 

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

   

NOTE–4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

· Use of estimates

 

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

· Basis of consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGCG and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

· Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

 

· Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Based upon the aforementioned criteria, the Company did not write off accounts receivable on uncollectible rental receivable at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018.

 

· Available-for-sale equity securities

 

Available-for-sale marketable securities are reported at fair value using the market approach based on the quoted prices in active markets at the reporting date. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1 of fair value measurements. Any unrealized losses that are deemed other-than-temporary are included in current period earnings and removed from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are included in current period earnings. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses, the cost basis of each investment sold is generally based on the weighted average cost method.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2019

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

(Unaudited)

 

 

The Company regularly evaluates whether the decline in fair value of available-for-sale securities is other-than-temporary and objective evidence of impairment could include:

 

  · The severity and duration of the fair value decline;
  · Deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer; and
  · Evaluation of the factors that could cause individual securities to have an other-than-temporary impairment.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Company invested in equity securities listed on Bursa Malaysia with a total cost of $265,606 and escrow funds (which invested in equity securities listed in the U.S.) with a total cost of $200,000. The Company entered into an escrow agreement with Peijin Wu Hoppe (“Hoppe”), the Company’s former director, to set up an escrow fund up to $500,000 as a reserve to indemnify Hoppe from any claim of liability until July 29, 2022, the seventh year anniversary of the termination of Director Retainer Agreement, or any mutual agreement with the Company and Hoppe.

 

· Deferred development costs

 

Deferred development costs consist of replanting costs of durian such as soil amendments, cultivation, fertilization and purchase costs of sapling. Costs related to durian development projects at the Company’s plantation land are capitalized during the sapling, developing and planting durian fruit tree and until the harvests are substantially available for commercial sale, and deferred development costs will then commence to be amortized as components of plantation costs and expenses.

 

· Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

 

Categories   Location of properties   Expected useful life
Freehold plantation land and orchard   Oil palm and durian plantation in Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
Leasehold land under development   Leasehold land in Puncak Alam, Malaysia   Remaining lease life of 88 years, as per land titles
Freehold land under development   Freehold land in Sungai Long, Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
Freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose commercial building   Land portion of 15 storey buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia   Indefinite, as per property titles
Building structure and improvements   Building structure of commercial buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, including: 12 storey building “Megan Avenue” and 15 storey building   33 years
Office furniture and equipment       3-10 years
Motor vehicle       5 years

 

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.

 

Deferred development costs for oil palm that had been capitalized as part of freehold plantation land were not amortized over the useful life of the oil palms since these costs were not separately identifiable from the cost of freehold plantation land and buildings when the whole oil palm plantation was purchased in July 2011.

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold plantation land, leasehold land held for development, freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose and building structure and improvements. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “ Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.

  

The Company has separately identified the portion of freehold land and building structure, in which freehold land is not subject to amortization and buildings are to be amortized over 33 years on a straight-line method, based on applicable local laws and practice.

 

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

 

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Real Estate in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, there was no such capitalized interest.

 

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company adopts the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “ Interest – Capitalization of Interest ” and ASC Topic 970 “ Real Estate - General ”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

The Company capitalizes leasing costs which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. The Company allocates these costs to individual tenant leases and amortizes them over the related lease term.

 

· Revenue recognition

 

Revenue recognition applicable from 1 November 2018

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, usually upon delivery of palm oil fruit bunches and durian fruits. There are no significant payments terms, no significant financing component or any variable consideration. All of the company’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognised in one geographical market in Malaysia, and one major product line, and plantation sales are transferred at a point in time.

Revenue recognition applicable until 31 October 2018

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its plantation products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. The Company’s sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.

 

(a)       Plantation sales

 

Revenue from plantation sales include the sale of palm oil fruit bunches and sale of durian. The sale is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of produces and transported to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectability is reasonably assured. For the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, sales from plantation was $35,995 and $43,366, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, sales from plantation was $72,394 and $105,424, respectively.

  

(b)       Rental income

 

The Company generally leases the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. For the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, we have recorded $826,794 and $525,494 in lease revenue, based upon its annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “ Real Estate – General – Revenue Recognition ” (“ASC Topic 970-605”).

 

As of April 30, 2019, the commercial buildings for lease are as follows:

15 91,848 0%

 

The Company expects to record approximately $1.62 million in annual lease revenue under the operating lease arrangements in the next twelve months through April 30, 2020.

 

· Rental concession

 

The Company leases store location and office spaces to the tenants under operating lease arrangements. The Company receives rental income from the real estates it owns for a stated period of times. Rental income is recognized over the life of the operating lease agreement as it is earned in the period under ASC Topic 970-605. The typical leases contain initial terms of one to two years with renewal options and do not contain escalating rent amounts. Under the lease agreement of Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC (fka “Menara CMY”), the initial term of lease is one year. Provided that there are no existing breaches by the tenant, an irrecoverable annual renewal option is granted for up to twenty-nine years, with a maximum aggregate term of thirty years. Six-months’ rent-free period under the operating lease agreement is treated as long-term rent concession, which is being amortized as an offset to revenues collected over the term of the underlying lease of 30 years on a straight-line basis.

· Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity interest in the capital contributions, income and loss of less than wholly-owned and consolidated entities that is not attributable to the Company.

 

· Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

The Company conducts major businesses in Malaysia and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the local and foreign tax authorities.

 

· Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company maintains its books and record in a local currency and Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement” , using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

  

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

    As of and for the period ended
April 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate     4.1327       3.9224

· Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

· Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “ Segment Reporting ” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company operates in two reportable operating segments in Malaysia.

 

· Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease, long-term bank loans and available-for-sale marketable securities): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, amount due to a related party and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease and long-term bank loans approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

· Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

· Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

· Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

The following table summarizes information on the fair value measurement of the Company’s financial assets as of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, measured at fair value, grouped by the categories described above:

 

    Quoted prices
in active
markets

(Level 1)
    Significant

· Adoption of new accounting standards

 

On 1 November 2018, the company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

The adoption of this Topic does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant judgements or changes in judgements made in applying the guidance in this Topic. There were no contract assets or liabilities recognised at year end.

 

The adoption of the other new accounting standards did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

· Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and 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. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-06; Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Employee Benefit Plan Master Trust Reporting (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU requires an employee benefit plan within the scope of Topic 960,1 962,2 or 9653 to present its interest in a master trust and the change in its interest in that master trust as single line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, respectively. In addition, the amendments update and align the disclosure requirements for an interest in a master trust across Topics 960, 962, and 965. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. We do not expect that adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08; Receivables—Non refundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU shortens the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, it requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The amendments are designed to make lessors adoption of the new leases standard easier such as accounting policy election on sales tax, exclude variable payments for all lessor costs, and clarification on lessor costs. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In April 2015, the Company’s development order regarding the development of 21.8921 hectares (54.10 acres) leasehold land located in Puncak Alam, Malaysia was approved by the Kuala Selangor District Council. The approved order allows the Company to proceed with its plans to construct its Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development project. In November 2015, the Company submitted a request to convert some of its planned semi-detached and bungalow home parcels into cluster semi-detached homes to improve the marketability of the Company’s proposed development. On March 4, 2016, the Company received notification from the Kuala Selangor District Council that its revised Development Order relating to the Puncak Alam land was approved on February 24, 2016.

 

Pursuant to an 8-K filed on July 1, 2016, PGCG Assets entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Yong Tai Berhad, a public listed corporation in the main market of Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“YTB”) engaged in the business of commercial and residential property development, to jointly develop the land (the “Land”) located at Puncak Alam (the “Proposed JV”). The parties terminated the MOU on February 15, 2017, in accordance with the terms of a Mutual Termination of Memorandum of Understanding (the “Termination MOU”). The parties further confirmed that there was no monetary payment due to either party pursuant to the MOU or the Termination MOU.

 

In light of the termination of the Proposed JV with YTB, the Company plans to develop, market, promote and complete the construction on its own. As at the date of this report, clearing of the land for development is underway. The Company hopes to begin construction in the fourth calendar quarter of 2019 and complete construction by the end of calendar 2021. The Company believes that it will require approximately RM5 to RM10 million in the aggregate to market, promote and complete construction of each phase of our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development Project.

 

During the course of the Company’s strategic review of its operations, the Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment. The impairment charge, if any, represented the excess of carrying amounts of the Company’s property, plant and equipment over the fair values of the assets. The Company believes that there was no impairment of its property, plant and equipment as of April 30, 2019.

        $ 593,713       94%     $  

 

All customers are located in Malaysia.

 

(b)       Major vendors

 

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases.

 

All vendors are located in Malaysia.

 

(c)       Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

 

(d)       Interest rate risk

 

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest expense incurred on bank borrowings. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio in order to reduce this risk. The Company has not been exposed nor does it anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates.

 

(e)       Exchange rate risk

 

The reporting currency of the Company is US$. To date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR, and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR. If MYR depreciates against US$, the value of MYR revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial foreign exchange risk.

 

(f)       Commodity price

 

The Company’s primary market risk exposure results from the price it receives for its palm oil product. The Company does not currently engage in any commodity hedging activities, although it may do so in the future. Realized commodity pricing for the Company’s operation is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for palm oil product. Pricing for palm oil product has been volatile and unpredictable in recent years, and the Company expects this volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The prices the Company receives for operation depend on many factors outside of its control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable commodity index price.

Challenges From Our Oil Palm Operations; Durian Planting

 

The oil palm and durian business is a highly regulated industry with prices subject to wide fluctuations due to factors beyond our control such as weather conditions, competition, global demand and government policies. If we are not able to successfully respond to any of these or other factors, our business operations and financial results may be adversely affected.

 

We are focused on the maintenance and operation of our oil palm and durian plantation in Malaysia. We believe that the value of our oil palm and durian plantation has increased since its acquisition. While we have not pursued any discussions or received any formal offers regarding the sale of our plantation, we may consider sales offers in the future if a sale would maximize return to our investors.

 

We commenced planting premium durian, of the “Musang King” variety, in the first quarter of calendar year 2014. As of the date of this report, we have replanted approximately 180 acres of our oil palm plantation land with premium durian trees. Durian trees have one or two fruiting periods per year, although the timing may vary depending on the species, cultivars, and localities. We have planted an average of 35 trees per acre and anticipate an average production of 50 grade A fruits per tree for each of the two harvesting seasons per year.

 

We have used the latest planting technology in 2016, which we hope will reduce the maturity time of the durian tree from 5 years to 3 years. The durian trees planted during the first phase has begun bearing fruit, with the first major harvest expected to occur in July 2019. We expect the second and third phase to begin bearing fruit by 2021 and the fourth phase by 2023, at the latest.

 

Challenges From Our Real Estate Operations

 

Commercial Buildings

 

We generate rental income from our 12 storey and 15 storey commercial properties and anticipate generating income from the sale of developed properties. As of April 30, 2019, we occupy 2 floors of our 12 storey commercial building as our corporate headquarters, 6 floors have been leased to tenants at market rate. The balance 4 floors are currently vacant and we are actively attempting to lease these 4 floors.

 

Our 15 story building is fully leased to Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC which operates a boutique hotel on the premises. The Rental Agreement has an initial term of one (1) year commencing December 1, 2018 and expiring November 30, 2019. Provided that there are no existing breaches by Le Apple, we will be required to renew the lease for additional one-year terms up to twenty-four years, for a maximum aggregate term of thirty years. The monthly rental rate shall be increased every three years at an increment rate of 5% to 10% of the current monthly rental rate, or shall be based on the prevailing market rate, whichever is lower. Our current rental rate has increased from RM400,000 to RM550,000 (approximately $131,520) from April 1, 2018.

 

Residential Property Development  

 

On June 10, 2015, we received approval to develop our leasehold land located in Puncak Alam. Due to challenges in the current Malaysian real property market, in November 2015, we submitted a request to convert some our planned semi-detached and bungalow home parcels into cluster semi-detached homes to improve the marketability of the development. We received approval of our revised development plan on March 4, 2016.

 

On July 1, 2016, PGCG Assets entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Yong Tai Berhad, a public listed corporation in the main market of Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“YTB”) engaged in the business of commercial and residential property development, to jointly develop our land (the “Land”) located at Puncak Alam (the “Proposed JV”). The MOU was terminated on February 15, 2017, pursuant to the terms of a Mutual Termination of Memorandum of Understanding (the “Termination MOU”). In light of the termination of the Proposed JV with YTB, we plan to develop, market, promote and complete the construction on our own. As at the date of this report, clearing of the land for development is underway. We hope to begin construction in the fourth calendar quarter of 2019 and complete construction by the end of calendar 2021.

 

 

 

  27  

 

 

We believe that we will require approximately RM5 to RM10 million in the aggregate to market, promote and complete construction of each phase of our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development Project.

  

On September 8, 2016, the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry of Malaysia announced the introduction of an initiative that will enable property developers to provide loans to buyers at an annual interest rate between 12 and 18 percent. Developers will be able to begin applying to the ministry on September 8, 2016, for a moneylending license. It is our understanding that loans made pursuant to such license will not be restricted to first time homebuyers.

 

We are considering applying for such money lender’s license to enable us to provide financing to prospective buyers of our future properties. If we apply and are successful in obtaining such license, we hope that we will be able to boost sales of our properties that we have earmarked for development.

 

We continue to maintain a cautious but positive outlook for the residential market based upon Malaysia’s stable employment outlook, growth in household income, formation of new households, and increased demand for affordable residential property from first time home buyers. Developers such as us are facing challenges of inconsistent supply and high cost of labour, increased costs of building materials (such as cement and steel bars) and general increased costs of doing business. Our market is also sensitive to changes in lending rates and lending requirements as many homebuyers rely on financing to make purchases. As a result, government or bank policies that result in increased interest rates and or stricter lending requirements may adversely affect the sales of our developed properties.

Comparison of the three months ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018

 

Net Revenue . We generated net revenue of $453,700 and $289,998 for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to the increase in our real estate revenue, offset by a decrease in our plantation revenue. The decrease in plantation revenue for the quarter ended January 31, 2019, is primarily attributable to the decrease of oil palm price. The primary increase in real estate revenue is attributable to the recovery of monthly rental rate from RM400,000 to RM550,000 from our tenant of our fifteen story building, Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC, effective from April 1, 2018. The monthly rental rate on Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC was previously decreased from our initial rental rate of RM550,000 to RM400,000 due to unfavourable market conditions.

For the three months ended April 30, 2019, our plantation and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 8.0% and 92.0% of our net revenue, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2018, our plantation and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 15.0% and 85.0% of our net revenue, respectively.

 

Our real estate related revenues are derived from the tenants from our commercial buildings. We generally expect our real estate related revenues to gradually account for an increasing share of our net revenue in the future as we begin real estate development and sales activities.

        

During the three months ended April 30, 2019, and 2018, the following customers accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenues:

Cost of Revenue . For the three-month period ended April 30, 2019, our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 38.3% as compared to 64.7% for the same period ended April 30, 2018. Cost of plantation and real estate revenue as a percentage of their respective net revenue was approximately 66.0% and 36.0%, respectively, for the quarter ended April 30, 2019. For the three months ended April 30, 2018, cost of plantation and real estate revenue as a percentage of their respective net revenue was approximately 42.8% and 68.6%, respectively. The percentage of the planation business increased due to decrease in plantation sales. The percentage of real estate decreased due to increase in real estate revenue. Cost of revenue of our oil palm consists of costs such as material supplies, subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting. Transportation and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of our purchases.

 

Gross Profit . For the three months ended April 30, 2019, we achieved gross profit of $279,716 as compared to $102,204 for the three months ended April 30, 2018. The increase in our gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in our real estate revenues. For the three months ended April 30, 2019, our plantation and real estate operations accounted for approximately 4.37% and 64.0% of our gross profit, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2018, our plantation and real estate operations accounted for approximately 24.3% and 75.7% of our gross profit, respectively.

 

Once we begin real estate development, we expect gross profit derived from our real estate business to gradually increase as we commence sales activities with respect to our developed properties. We also expect our plantation revenue to increase once our premium durian orchard has matured and is able to produce grade A fruits for distribution.

 

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”) . We incurred G&A expenses of $99,604 and $168,126 for the three months ended April 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The decrease in G&A expenses is primarily due to decrease in professional fees.

 

 

 

  29  

 

 

As a general matter, we expect our G&A to increase in the foreseeable future as we begin development of our real estate assets. G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 21.9% and 57.9% for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Other Expense, net . We incurred net other expense of $185,611 for the three months ended April 30, 2019, as compared to net other expense of $160,370 for the three months ended April 30, 2018. Net other expense for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted primarily of interest expense from our bank loans.

 

Income Tax Expense . We recorded income tax expense of $47,898 and $68,112 for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our income tax was primarily attributable to the tax effect of non-business source rental income.

Net Revenue . We generated net revenue of $899,188 and $630,918 for the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to the increase in our real estate revenue, offset by a decrease in our plantation revenue.

Cost of Revenue . For the six months ended April 30, 2019, our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 35.7% with our plantation and real estate businesses accounting for 14.0% and 86.0% of the cost of revenue. For the six months ended April 30, 2018, our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 55.4.0% with our plantation and real estate businesses accounting for 11.6% and 88.4%, respectively, of the cost of revenue. The cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased is primarily due to increase in real estate revenue. Cost of real estate revenue in 2019 and 2018 primarily consisted of land taxes, maintenance and depreciation of the leased properties of our real estate. Cost of plantation revenue in 2019 and 2018 consisted primarily of the costs related to the oil palm business such as material supplies, subcontracting costs and transportation costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of our purchases.

 

Gross Profit . For the six months ended April 30, 2019, we achieved gross profit of $578,279 as compared to $281,619 for the same period ended April 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to our increase in real estate derived revenues. As of April 30, 2019, our plantation and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 4.7% and 95.3%, respectively, of our gross profit. For the six months ended April 30, 2018, our plantation and real estate operations accounted for approximately 23.0% and 77.0% of our gross profit, respectively. The increase in overall gross profit is primarily attributable to increase in rental income on our commercial properties.

 

Once we begin real estate development, we expect gross profit derived from our real estate business to gradually increase as we commence sales activities with respect to our developed properties. We also expect our plantation revenue to increase once our premium durian orchard has matured and is able to produce grade A fruits for distribution.

 

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”) . We incurred G&A expenses of $222,538 and $265,574 for the six months ended April 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

 

As a general matter, we expect our G&A to increase in the foreseeable future as we begin development of our real estate assets. G&A as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 24.7% and 42.1% for the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Other Expense, net . We incurred net other expense of $374,887 for the six months ended April 30, 2019, as compared to net other expense of $377,121 for the six months ended April 30, 2018. Net other expense for the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted primarily of interest expense from our bank loans.

 

Income Tax Expense . We recorded income tax expense of $98,059 and $59,994 for the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our income tax was primarily attributable to the tax effect of non-business source rental income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of April 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,320,850, as compared to $147,339 as of the same period last year. Our cash and cash equivalents increased as a result of receiving a new bank loan.

 

We expect to incur significantly greater expenses in the near future, including the contractual obligations that we have assumed discussed below, to begin development activities. We also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our finance and administrative staff, and add infrastructure.

 

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock. Our present policy is to apply cash to investments in product development, acquisitions or expansion; consequently, we do not expect to pay dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Going Concern Uncertainties

 

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions and public offerings, capital leases and short-term and long-term debts. While we believe that we will obtain external financing and the existing shareholders will continue to provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash and other sources of liquidity discussed below are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months.

Net cash provided by / (used in) financing activities     888,168       (27,863 )

 

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities .

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $25,179, which consisted primarily of a net profit (excluding non-cash depreciation) of $125,957, a decrease in income tax payable of $166,984, a decrease in account payables of $10,570, offset by a decrease in rental concession of $13,378 and decrease in deposits and other receivables of $12,023.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $77,253, which consisted primarily of a net loss (excluding non-cash depreciation) of $83,250, a decrease in income tax payable of $73,939, a decrease in accrued liabilities and other payables of $53,813, offset by a decrease in rental concession of $41,423 and decrease in account receivable of $163,131.

 

We expect rental income from our real estate operations to increase as we increase the occupancy rates of our commercial buildings, which will be offset by the increased expenses associated with developing our residential projects. We expect to continue to rely on cash generated through private placements of our securities, however, to finance our operations and future acquisitions.

We expect investing cash outflows to increase when we develop our durian plantation until the orchard matures and begins to generate revenues in 2019 at the earliest. We also expect investing cash outflows to increase due to expenditures associated with developing our residential projects.

 

Net Cash Provided by / (Used in) Financing Activities .

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2019, net cash generated from financing activities was $888,168, consisting primarily of proceeds from new loan of $1,216,160, offset by repayment of $22,706 to Weng Kung Wong, our Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Secretary and director and repayments of $305,286 on outstanding bank loans.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $27,863, consisting primarily of advances of $586,133 from Weng Kung Wong, our Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Secretary and director, offset by repayments of $613,996 on outstanding bank loans. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

 

We had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of April 30, 2019:

 

Contractual Obligations   Total     Less than 1
Year
    1-3 Years     3-5 Years     More than 5 Years  
    $     $     $     $     $

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

· Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We extend unsecured credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. We will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers. Based upon the aforementioned criteria, we did not write off accounts receivable on uncollectible rental receivable at April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018.

 

 

 

  33  

 

 

· Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

 

Categories   Location of properties   Expected useful life
Freehold plantation land and orchard   Oil palm and durian plantation in Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
         
Leasehold land under development   Leasehold land in Puncak Alam, Malaysia   Remaining lease life of 88 years, as per land titles
Freehold land under development   Freehold land in Sungai Long, Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia   Indefinite, as per land titles
         
Freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose commercial building   Land portion of 15 storey buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia   Indefinite, as per property titles
         
Building structure and improvements   Building structure of commercial buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, including: 12 storey building “Megan Avenue” and 15 storey building   33 years
         
Office furniture and equipment       3-10 years
         
Motor vehicle       5 years

 

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.

 

Deferred development costs for oil palm that had been capitalized as part of freehold plantation land were not amortized over the useful life of the oil palms since these costs were not separately identifiable from the cost of freehold plantation land and buildings when the whole oil palm plantation was purchased in July 2011.

 

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold plantation land, leasehold land held for development, freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose and building structure and improvements. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “ Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , we generally conduct our annual impairment evaluation to our long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.

 

We have separately identified the portion of freehold land and building structure, in which freehold land is not subject to amortization and buildings are to be amortized over 33 years on a straight-line method, based on applicable local laws and practice.

 

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

 

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Real Estate in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, there was no such capitalized interest.

 

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. We adopt the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “ Interest – Capitalization of Interest ” and ASC Topic 970 “ Real Estate - General ”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

 

 

 

  34  

 

 

We capitalize leasing costs which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortize them over the related lease term.

 

· Revenue recognition

 

Revenue recognition applicable from 1 November 2018

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, usually upon delivery of palm oil fruit bunches and durian fruits. There are no significant payments terms, no significant financing component or any variable consideration. All of the company’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognised in one geographical market in Malaysia, and one major product line, and plantation sales are transferred at a point in time.

 

Revenue recognition applicable until 31 October 2018

We recognize our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of our plantation products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. Our sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.

 

(a)       Plantation sales

 

Revenue from plantation sales include the sale of palm oil fruit bunches and sale of durian. The sale is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of produces and transported to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectability is reasonably assured. For the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, sales from plantation was $35,995 and $43,366, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, sales from plantation was $72,394 and $105,424, respectively.

 

(b)       Rental income

 

We generally lease the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. For the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, we have recorded $826,794 and $525,494 in lease revenue, based upon our annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “ Real Estate – General – Revenue Recognition ” (“ASC Topic 970-605”).

 

As of April 30, 2019, the commercial buildings for lease are as follows:

 

Name of Commercial building

Number of units

(by floor)

Footage area

(square feet)

Vacancy percentage
Megan Avenue 12 19,987 33%

Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC

(fka “Menara CMY”)

15 91,848 0%

 

We expect to record approximately $1.62 million in annual lease revenue under the operating lease arrangements in the next twelve months through April 30, 2020.

 

· Cost of revenues

 

Cost of revenue on plantation sales includes material supplies, subcontracting costs and transportation costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the oil palm tree. Transportation and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

 

Cost related to our real estate business shown on the accompanying statements of operations include costs associated with land tax, on-site and property management personnel, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, marketing, landscaping and other on-site and related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.

 

 

 

  35  

 

 

· Comprehensive income

 

ASC Topic 220, “ Comprehensive Income ” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments held at the balance sheet date. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

· Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

We conduct major businesses in Malaysia and are subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of our business activities, we will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the local and foreign tax authorities.

 

· Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, we maintain our books and record in a local currency and Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement” , using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

    As of and for the period ended
April 30,
 
    2019     2018  
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate     4.1327       3.9224  
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate     4.1113       3.9833

· Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if we have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

· Segment reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “ Segment Reporting ” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with our internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, we operate in two reportable operating segments in Malaysia.

 

· Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of our financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease, long-term bank loans and available-for-sale marketable securities): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, amount due to a related party and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of our obligation under finance lease and long-term bank loans approximates the carrying amount.

 

We also follow the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

· Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

· Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

· Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

The following table summarizes information on the fair value measurement of our financial assets as of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, measured at fair value, grouped by the categories described above:

 

  Quoted prices in active markets
(Level 1)
    Significant other observable inputs
(Level 2)
    Significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3)
 
As of April 30, 2019                  
Marketable securities, available-for-sale   $ 172,594     $      –     $      –  
As of October 31, 2018                        
Marketable securities, available-for-sale   $ 172,532     $     $  

 

 

 

  37  

 

  

As of April 30, 2019, we did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did we have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and 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. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-06; Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Employee Benefit Plan Master Trust Reporting (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU requires an employee benefit plan within the scope of Topic 960,1 962,2 or 9653 to present its interest in a master trust and the change in its interest in that master trust as single line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, respectively. In addition, the amendments update and align the disclosure requirements for an interest in a master trust across Topics 960, 962, and 965. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. We do not expect that adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08; Receivables—Non refundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU shortens the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, it requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-11; Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480): Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Non public Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non controlling Interests with a Scope Exception. The guidance is intended to reduce the complexity associated with issuers’ accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Specifically, a down round feature (as defined) would no longer cause a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or an embedded conversion option) to be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-12; Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the amendments for existing hedging relationships on the date of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-15; Codification Improvements to Topic 995, U.S. Steamship Entities: Elimination of Topic 995. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that have unrecognized deferred taxes related to statutory reserve deposits that were made on or before December 15, 1992. Entities are required to recognize the unrecognized income taxes in accordance with Topic 740. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

  38

The amendments in the ASU addresses the accounting issue pertaining to the deferred tax amounts that are “stranded” in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act). We do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting which is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share-based payments. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-08—Not-For-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made which clarifies and improves the scope and accounting guidance around contributions of cash and other assets received and made by not-for-profit organizations and business enterprises. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018 (serving as resource recipient) and December 15, 2018 (serving as resource provider), including interim periods within that fiscal year.

The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in this Update do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance of this Update. However, many of the amendments in this Update do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

For entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02. The practical expedient may be elected either in the first reporting period following the issuance of this Update or at the original effective date of Topic 842 for that entity. The practical expedient may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14—Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans which improves disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted for all entities.

In October 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-16, Derivaties and Hedging (Topic 805): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The ASU amends ASC 815 to add the OIS rate based on the SOFR as a fifth US benchmark interest rate. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-17: Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. This standard expands the application of a specific private company accounting alternative related to VIEs and changes the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. The ASU amends ASC 808 to clarify ASC 606 should apply in entirety to certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The ASU changes the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Thus, the effective date for such entities’ annual financial statements is now aligned with that for these interim financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. The amendments are designed to make lessors adoption of the new leases standard easier such as accounting policy election on sales tax, exclude variable payments for all lessor costs, and clarification on lessor costs. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

 

ITEM 3              Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest rate risk

 

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest expense incurred on bank borrowings. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio in order to reduce this risk. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates.

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

The reporting currency of the Company is US$. To date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR, and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR. If MYR depreciates against US$, the value of our MYR revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US$ financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

 

  Commodity price

 

Our primary market risk exposure results from the price we receive for our palm oil fruit bunches. We do not currently engage in any commodity hedging activities, although we may do so in the future. Realized commodity pricing for our operation is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for palm oil fruit bunches. Pricing for palm oil fruit bunches has been volatile and unpredictable in recent years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The prices we receive for operation depend on many factors outside of our control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable commodity index price.`

 

Malaysian real estate market risk

 

Our real estate business may be affected by market conditions and economic challenges experienced by the economy as a whole in Malaysia, conditions in the credit markets or by local economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located. Such conditions may impact our results of operations, financial condition or ability to expand our operations.

 

Market risk related to marketable securities

 

We are also exposed to the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments, caused by fluctuations in equity prices related to marketable securities. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows.

ITEM 4                   Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to limitations as noted below, as of April 30, 2019, and during the period prior to and including the date of this report, were effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Inherent Limitations

 

Because of its inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. 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 and procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2019, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
