FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Registrant to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Registrant's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Registrant. Although the Registrant believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Registrant or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Registrant will be achieved.
The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K and referred to elsewhere are related to future events or our strategies or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "believe," "anticipate," "future," "potential," "estimate," "encourage," "opportunity," "growth," "leader," "expect," "intend," "plan," "expand," "focus," "through," "strategy," "provide," "offer," "allow," commitment," "implement," "result," "increase," "establish," "perform," "make," "continue," "can," "ongoing," "include" or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K are based on information available to us as of the filing date of this report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements include those described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors."
Item 1. Business
General
Paradigm Resource Management Corporation (the "Company", “PRDM”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 26, 2007 under the name of China Digital Ventures Corporation (“CDVC”) and was in the web based telecom services business in China. The Company's mission was to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of "technology", "media" and "telecommunication" assets in China. During the periods presented all revenue was derived from the telecom business sector.
In July 2009, the Company acquired a 76.8% interest in China Integrated Media Corporation Limited ("CIMC"), a public company in Australia.
In February 2010, the Company decided to divest from its investment in CIMC due to its inability to raise the capital necessary to pursue this investment on a timely manner and concerns on its internal liquidity. On April 30, 2010 the Company disposed of CIMC for $50,000 and realized a gain on the disposal of $92,975. The proceeds from the disposal were used to pay debts of the Company.
On June 20, 2010, the Company disposed of its subsidiary company, Lead Concept Limited, which operated its web based VOIP business as the Company was no longer competitive in this market segment. After the disposal, the Company had no operations.
On July 23, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control. Canton Investments Ltd (“CIL”) acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between CIL and Wireless One International Limited (“Wireless One”), Bing HE and Ning HE, the Company’s former directors, and other various shareholders. On the closing date, July 23, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, CIL purchased from Wireless One and Bing HE and Ning HE 1,150,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock for $205,750. Also on July 23, 2010, CIL purchased 244,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock for $36,600 from various shareholders. As a result of the change in control, CIL owned a total of 1,394,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 91.54%.
In accordance with the change in control Mr. Bing HE resigned as the Company's President, CEO, and any other positions held by him on July 23, 2010. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. The same date Mr. Robert M. Price was named as the new Director, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

On May 10, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Paradigm Resource Management Corporation. The Company is currently contemplating acquisitions of certain gold, copper and uranium mineral property rights.
On September 10, 2012, CIL contributed 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s treasury. The Company immediately retired and canceled these shares. As a result of the contribution of shares, CIL owns a total of 194,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 60.1%.
On July 24, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with AMSA Development Technology Co Ltd (“AMSA”) to acquire 402,300 shares of TOSS Plasma Technologies Ltd. (“TPT”) previously held by AMSA in exchange for 35,866,667 restricted shares of its common stock. The 402,300 shares of TPT represent 10.1% of TPT’s outstanding common stock. The agreement also provided AMSA an option to acquire an additional 44,833,333 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and provides the Company an option to acquire an additional 402,300 shares of TPT common stock from AMSA.
On December 4, 2013, the Company and AMSA entered into an Amendment to the Agreement dated July 24, 2013. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company has the option to acquire up to a total of 3,432,000 shares of TPT from AMSA and AMSA has the option to acquire up to a total of 229,866,667 shares of common stock of the Company. The options expire June 2, 2014.
Management continues to explore new investment opportunities with a focus in technology, mining and applied materials as it remains in its development stage. Management is also currently assessing and evaluating new strategic partnership opportunities for TPT to develop its customer base.
Employees
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had three employees.

The public may also obtain additional information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following important factors among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.
There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our auditor's report on our 2013 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as a going concern. Because our officers and directors may be unable or unwilling to loan or advance any additional capital to the Company, we may not have the funds necessary to continue our operations. See "September 30, 2013 Audited Financial Statements."
We have a limited operating history and are a development stage company, thus we cannot predict whether we will be successful in meeting our financial obligations.
We are a development stage company that was established in March 2007. Although we had begun the sales of telecom services by direct sales with modest revenue generated, we have disposed of those businesses and currently have no revenue stream. We currently have no cash and are reliant upon our officers, directors, and shareholders to fund the operating expenses of the Company while we assess and evaluate our next business strategy. There is no guarantee that our officers, directors and shareholders will continue to fund these activities.
If our strategy is unsuccessful, we will not be profitable and our stockholders could lose their investment.
There is no guarantee that our strategy for obtaining or developing assets will be successful or that if successfully developed, will result in the Company becoming profitable. If our strategy is unsuccessful, we may fail to meet our objectives and not realize the revenues or profits from the business we pursue that may cause the value of the Company to decrease, thereby potentially causing our stockholders to lose their investment.
3 |
We have not paid any cash dividends in the past and have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, which could cause the value of our common stock to have a lower value than other similar companies which do pay cash dividends.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not anticipate any cash dividends being paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion. As we have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, our common stock could be less desirable to other investors and as a result, the value of our common stock may decline, or fail to reach the valuations of other similarly situated companies who have historically paid cash dividends in the past.
It is more difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares because we are not, and may never be, eligible for NASDAQ or any national stock exchange.
We are not presently, nor is it likely that for the foreseeable future we will be, eligible for inclusion in NASDAQ or for listing on any United States national stock exchange. To be eligible to be included in NASDAQ, a company is required to have not less than $4,000,000 in net tangible assets, a public float with a market value of not less than $5,000,000, and a minimum bid price of $4.00 per share. At the present time, we are unable to state when, if ever, we will meet the NASDAQ application standards. Unless we are able to increase our net worth and market valuation substantially, either through the accumulation of surplus out of earned income or successful capital raising financing activities, we will never be able to meet the eligibility requirements of NASDAQ. As a result, it will be more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or otherwise, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
Although the our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, there is no assurance any public market for our Common Stock will continue. There is also no assurance as to the depth or liquidity of any such market or the prices at which holders may be able to sell the Shares. An investment in these Shares may be totally illiquid and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment readily or at all when they need or desire to sell.
Volatility of stock prices
In the event a public market continues for our Common Stock, market prices will be influenced by many factors, and will be subject to significant fluctuation in response to variations in operating results of the Company and other factors such as investor perceptions of the Company, supply and demand, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to the industry, developments with regard to the Company's activities, future financial condition and management.
Canton Investments Ltd. owns indirectly through related parties approximately 60.1% of our outstanding common stock, and has significant influence over our corporate decisions, and as a result, if you invest in us, your ability to affect corporate decisions will be limited.
Canton Investments Ltd. (“CIL”) holds 194,000,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 60.1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, CIL will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control even after such conversion and exercise by other investors, as CIL may continue to be our largest shareholder. The interests of CIL may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other shareholders. Additionally, potential investors should take into account the fact that any vote of shares purchased will have limited effect on the outcome of corporate decisions.
We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth, which would negatively impact our operations.
If the Company’s business and markets grow and develop, it will be necessary for us to finance and manage expansion in an orderly fashion. We may face challenges in managing and expanding our business and in integrating any acquired businesses with our own. Such eventualities will increase demands on our existing management, workforce and facilities. Failure to satisfy increased demands could interrupt or adversely affect our operations and cause administrative inefficiencies.
We may be unable to successfully execute any of our identified business opportunities or other business opportunities that we determine to pursue.
We currently have a limited operational infrastructure. In order to pursue business opportunities, we will need to build our infrastructure and operational capabilities. Our ability to do any of these successfully could be affected by any one or more of the following factors, among others, our ability to:
● | raise substantial additional capital to fund the implementation of our business plan; | |
● | execute our business strategy; | |
● | manage the expansion of our operations and any acquisitions we may make, which could result in increased costs, high employee turnover or damage to customer relationships; | |
● | attract and retain qualified personnel; | |
● | manage our third-party relationships effectively; and | |
● | Accurately predict and respond to the rapid technological changes in our industry and the evolving demands of the markets we serve. |
4 |
The Company’s failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a significant impact on its ability to implement its business plan and its ability to pursue other opportunities that arise.
Limited liability of Directors and Officers.
The Company has adopted provisions to its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which limit the liability of its Officers and Directors, and provide for indemnification by the Company of its Officers and Directors to the full extent permitted by Nevada corporate law, which generally provides that its officers and directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit the shareholder's ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require the Company to indemnify its officers and directors.
If the Company decides to operate internationally, there are risks which could adversely affect operating results.
Currently, we have no projects, projections or foreign interest involving international operations. However, the Company may in the future, given the opportunity, decide to pursue projects, business, or otherwise conduct operations internationally. Doing business in foreign countries does subject the Company to additional risks, any of which may adversely impact future operating results, including:
• | international political, economic and legal conditions; |
• | our ability to comply with foreign regulations and/or laws affecting operations and projects; |
• | difficulties in attracting and retaining staff and business partners to operate internationally; |
• | language and cultural barriers; |
• | seasonal reductions in business activities and operations in the countries where our international projects are located; |
• | integration of foreign operations; |
• | potential adverse tax consequences; and |
• | potential foreign currency fluctuations. |
Factors beyond the control of the Company
Projects for the acquisition and development of the Company’s products are subject to many factors, which are outside our control. These factors include general economic conditions in North America and worldwide (such as recession, inflation, unemployment, and interest rates), proximities to utilities and transportation, shortages of labor and materials and skilled craftsmen and price of materials and competitive products and the regulation by federal and state governmental authorities.
Lack of diversification
Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, we do not currently intend to diversify our operations. Our inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company’s operations.
Future changes in financial accounting standards and other applicable regulations by various governmental regulatory agencies may cause lower than expected operating results and affect our reported results of operations.
Changes in accounting standards and their application may have a significant effect on our reported results on a going forward basis and may also affect the recording and disclosure of previously reported transactions. New standards have occurred and will continue to occur in the future. For example, in December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), as amended, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires us to expense stock options at fair value effective January 1, 2006. Under SFAS No. 123R, the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of stock options reduces our reported net income and net income per share subsequent to implementation; however, this accounting change will not have any impact on the cash flows of our business. Under the prior rules, expensing of the fair value of the stock options was not required. Any future issuances of stock options will cause additional compensation expense to be recognized. As of September 30, 2013, there are no outstanding stock options.
5 |
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and various new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the NASDAQ National Market have imposed additional reporting and corporate governance practices on public companies.
In addition, if we do not adequately continue to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent error or fraud, which may result in sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Any such action could harm our business, financial results or investors’ confidence in our Company, and could cause our stock price to fall.

Dividend Distributions
We have not historically and do not intend to distribute dividends to stockholders in the foreseeable future.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
The Company does not have any equity compensation plans.
Penny Stock
Our common stock is considered "penny stock" under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:
- | contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
- | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
- | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
- | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
- | contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
- | bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
- | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
- | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and |
- | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
Related Stockholder Matters
None.
Purchase of Equity Securities
None.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

On May 10, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Paradigm Resource Management Corporation. The Company is currently contemplating acquisitions of certain gold, copper and uranium mineral property rights.
On September 10, 2012, CIL contributed 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s treasury. The Company immediately retired and canceled these shares. As a result of the contribution of shares, CIL owns a total of 194,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 60.1%.
On July 24, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with AMSA Development Technology Co Ltd (“AMSA”) to acquire 402,300 shares of TOSS Plasma Technologies Ltd. (“TPT”) previously held by AMSA in exchange for 35,866,667 restricted shares of its common stock. The 402,300 shares of TPT represent 10.1% of TPT’s outstanding common stock. The agreement also provided AMSA an option to acquire an additional 44,833,333 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and provides the Company an option to acquire an additional 402,300 shares of TPT common stock from AMSA.
On December 4, 2013, the Company and AMSA entered into an Amendment to the Agreement dated July 24, 2013. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company has the option to acquire up to a total of 3,432,000 shares of TPT from AMSA and AMSA has the option to acquire up to a total of 229,866,667 shares of common stock of the Company. The options expire June 2, 2014.
Plan of Operation
TPT has developed a breakthrough technology and processing system for extraction of latent precious metals from certain types of complex ores. A significant percentage of mineral ores including those that contain the platinum group, gold and silver encapsulate their metals making extraction far more difficult. A prime example of the difficulty presented by these complex ores occurs with the cyanidization of gold where copper, lead, and other minerals absorb most of the cyanide making it unavailable for the extraction process. By applying TPT’s proprietary technology using Radio Frequency Plasma ("RF Plasma") torch at ultrahigh temperature of between 8,000 to 12,000 degrees Celsius, ore structure disintegrates and encapsulated gold, iron etc. are freed up and condensed for collection.
The primary reason to apply RF plasma to mineral ore processing is to gain higher recoveries than what can be otherwise achieved from conventional hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgy. TPT has performed laboratory investigations and pilot plant demonstrations of their proprietary RF Plasma technology on both platinum group metal recoveries and gold extraction. The results as shown in independent lab assay tests have been convincingly positive. The goal is to pave the way for mining companies and mine operators to tap into hidden or undervalued assets in complex ore mines that may or may not have been excavated.
Management continues to explore new investment opportunities with a focus in technology, mining and applied materials. Management is also currently assessing and evaluating new strategic partnership opportunities for TPT to develop its customer base.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. Our financial position and results of operations may be materially different when reported under different conditions or when using different assumptions in the application of such policies. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The preparation of interim financial statements involves the use of certain estimates that are consistent with those used in the preparation of our annual financial statements.
Results of Operations
For the Years Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and For the Period March 26, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2013
Revenues
The Company had no revenue for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
For the period from March 26, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2013, the Company realized revenue of $31,912, incurred a cost of revenue of $15,731 and achieved a gross profit of $16,181. All revenue was derived from the telecom business and reflects the disposal of the Company’s operating subsidiaries during the period.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended September 30, 2013, our total operating expenses were $95,119, all of which were selling, general and administrative expenses. Our net loss to our shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2013 was $95,119.
For the year ended September 30, 2012, our total operating expenses were $103,254, all of which were selling, general and administrative expenses. Our net loss to our shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2012 was $103,254.
For the period from March 26, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2013, the accumulated gross profit was $16,181, the total operating expenses were $511,332 which were all selling, general and administrative expenses and had $118,193 in gain on disposal of subsidiary, $1,028 in exchange gain, $2,170 in interest expense, $1,196 in interest and other income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest of $24,430, resulting in an accumulated net loss to our shareholders of $352,474.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We used cash in operating activities of $59,128 and $62,767 for the years ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The principal elements of cash flow used in operations for the year ended September 30, 2013 included a net loss of $95,119, offset by increases in accounts payable of $35,991. The principal elements of cash flow used in operations for the year ended September 30, 2012 included a net loss of $103,254, offset by increases in accounts payable of $20,737 and accrued expenses of $19,750.
No cash was used in investing activities during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Cash generated in our financing activities was $59,128 and $62,767 for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts represent amounts received from our principal shareholder for expenses paid on our behalf by the shareholder.
We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. As of September 30, 2013, we had no cash. We expect to incur a minimum of $125,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that this will be comprised of the following expenses: $25,000 for business planning and development, and $100,000 will be needed for general overhead expenses such as salaries, legal and accounting fees, office overheads and general expenses.
We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

Going Concern
Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $95,119 for the year ended September 30, 2013, has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $352,474, and has a stockholders’ deficit of $260,741 at September 30, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company is highly dependent on its ability to continue to obtain investment capital and loans from an affiliate and shareholder in order to fund the current and planned operating levels. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring in income generating activities and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from an affiliate and shareholder to sustain its current level of operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” this item is inapplicable.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Paradigm Resource Management Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Paradigm Resource Management Corp. as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows from Inception (March 26, 2007) through September 30, 2013 and the years 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide 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 Paradigm Resource Management Corp. as from Inception (March 26, 2007) through September 30, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years 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 shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has significant net losses and cash flow deficiencies. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company continues to explore new investment opportunities with a focus in technology, mining and applied materials. Management is also currently assessing and evaluating new strategic partnership opportunities for TPT to develop its customer base.
Stock Split
On June 1, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one hundred-to-one forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock. The effect of the stock split increased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 15,228,000 to 1,522,800,000. All common share and per common share data in these financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the stock split for all periods presented prior to June 1, 2012. The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $95,119 and 103,254 for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $352,474. The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $260,741 at September 30, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its abilities to generate revenues, to continue to raise investment capital, and develop and implement its business plan. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the amortization period for intangible assets, impairment valuation of intangible assets, depreciable lives of the website and property and equipment, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its former wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are consolidated from their effective dates of acquisition and through their effective dates of disposition. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain items on the 2012 balance sheet, statement of cash flows and statement of stockholders’ deficit have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share", which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, there were no common share equivalents outstanding which would be deemed as dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 "Financial Instruments" codified Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate the carrying values of such amounts.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company had no cash or cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, 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 bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the 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. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of the Company's Hong Kong and China subsidiaries were maintained in Hong Kong dollars (HK) and Chinese Renminbi, respectively. Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Translation", which codified Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the respective currency as the functional currency. According to ASC 830, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder's equity are translated at the historical rates, and statements of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220 that codified SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the accumulated comprehensive income was $nil and $nil, respectively.
Segment Information
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company does not have any operating segments as of September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Under ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized when products are received and accepted by the customer and is recorded net of estimated product returns, which is based upon the Company's return policy, sales agreements, management estimates of potential future product returns related to current period revenue, current economic trends, changes in customer composition and historical experience.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation under ASC Topic 718-10 (“ASC 718-10”), which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Issuance of Shares for Services
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is a development stage entity, as defined in ASC 915 “Development Stage Entities” which codified Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 (SFAS 7). The Company's planned principal operations have not fully commenced.
Accounting Standards Codification
The FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became effective on September 15, 2009. At that date, the ASC became the FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) and related literature. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-04,”Liabilities (Topic 405)”, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. ASU 2013-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2013-04 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 requires disclosure of the amounts reclassified out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net
earnings during the reporting period and is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2013−02 will have a material impact on the measurement of net earnings or other comprehensive income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” and in January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2011-11, as clarified, enhances disclosures surrounding offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities. The clarified standard applies to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions and requires companies to disclose gross and net information about financial instruments and derivatives eligible for offset and to disclose financial instruments and derivatives subject to master netting arrangements in financial statements. The clarified standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Management does not believe any recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Note 7 – Income Taxes
No provision was made for income taxes for the period from March 26, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2012 as the Company had cumulative operating losses. For the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company realized net losses for tax purposes of $95,119 and $103,254, respectively.
The income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the United States Statutory corporate income tax rate as follows:
For the Year Ended September 30, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
United States statutory corporate income tax rate | 34.0 | % | 34.0 | % | ||||
Change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets | -34.0 | % | -34.0 | % | ||||
Provision for income tax | - % | - % |
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax assets are approximately as follows:
September 30, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Deferred income tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 84,600 | $ | 52,260 | ||||
Valuation allowance | (84,600 | ) | (52,260 | ) | ||||
Net deferred income tax assets | $ | – | $ | – |
The Company has established a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset because of a lack of sufficient positive evidence to support its realization. The valuation allowance increased by $32,340 and $35,110 for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
No provision for income taxes has been provided in these financial statements due to the net loss for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. At September 30, 2013, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $249,000, which expire commencing 2030. The potential tax benefit of these losses may be limited due to certain change in ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) and similar state provisions.
IRS Section 382 places limitations (the “Section 382 Limitation”) on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by net operating loss carry forwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. Generally, after a change in control, a loss corporation cannot deduct operating loss carry forwards in excess of the Section 382 Limitation. Due to these “change in ownership” provisions, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods. The Company has not concluded its analysis of Section 382 through September 30, 2013, but believes the provisions will not limit the availability of losses to offset future income.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Maryland. The tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. As of September 30, 2013, tax years 2007 through 2012 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On October 11, 2013, the Company dismissed Cowan, Gunteski & Co. P.A. and engaged DKM Certified Public Accountants as its independent registered public accounting firm as of and for the year ended September 30, 2013. The change in independent registered public accounting firm is not the result of any disagreement with Cowan, Gunteski & Co. P.A. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
Prior to its engagement as our independent auditors, DKM Certified Public Accountants, had not been consulted by us either with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered our financial statements or on any other matter that was the subject of any prior disagreement between us and our previous certifying accountants.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to chief executive and chief financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The management of the Company is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A company's internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our 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 our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
| |
· |
Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
| |
· | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. |
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013 based upon the framework in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management identified the following material weaknesses at September 30, 2013:
25 |
1. | Lack of oversight by independent directors in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; |
2. | Lack of functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; |
3. | Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting; |
4. | Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
As a result of the material weakness described above, management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, involving the preparation and reporting of our financial statements presented in conformity with GAAP.
We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls is a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when practical and necessary.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Nevada Corporation Law allows for the indemnification of officers, directors, and any corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses, incurred arising under the 1933 Act. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law and such right to indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and Consultants; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company will not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred will include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those conferred to directors and officers of the Company. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses are subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act to the extent applicable.
Furthermore, the Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another company against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Nevada General Corporation Law.
Committees of the Board of Directors
None.
Auditors

Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics because we have limited business operations and only two officers/directors on the Board. We believe a code of ethics would have limited utility at this stage. We intend to adopt such code of ethics that would cover our business as soon as possible.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Our directors do not receive any stated salary for their services as directors or members of committees of the board of directors, but by resolution of the board, a fixed fee may be allowed for attendance at each meeting. Directors may also serve the company in other capacities as an officer, agent or otherwise, and may receive compensation for their services in such other capacity. No such fees have been paid to any director since incorporation. Reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed.
The following tables set forth information concerning all cash compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to all individuals serving as the Company’s principal executive officers during the last two completed fiscal years, and all non-cash compensation awarded to those same individuals as of September 30, 2013.
