Item 1. Business

 

Company Overview

 

We have entered the colored diamond trading business as of August 2015. We previously had a mining lease concession that covered 233.50 hectares in the Municipalities of San Carlos and San Rafael, Antiocha, Colombia. As a result of our new business direction in the colored diamond trading business, we have abandoned our business of working on exploring the mining lease.

 

Our fiscal year end is July 31. Our principal offices are located at 133 Richmond Street West, Suite 310, Toronto Ontario Canada M5H-2L3. Our phone number is 416-878-3377.

 

Colored Diamonds

 

We have completed an asset purchase agreement dated August 10, 2015 where we acquired from Kashif Khan colored diamonds with a wholesale value of US$4 Million, which he was in control of, in exchange for issuing three secured demand convertible promissory notes totaling US$4 Million. We now plan to incorporate a wholly owned subsidiary to be run by Mr. Khan for the sole purpose of trading in the colored diamond market. 

 

For the past eighteen years, colored diamonds have outperformed all major stock indices and continue to break world record prices at auction year over year. While appealing, they represent less than .001% of total diamond production annually, making them a lucrative but rare investment. Additionally, investors traditionally have had to make purchases through small family-owned trading houses, and large retail companies with retail markups.

 

Supply of colored diamonds is shrinking, with limited new discoveries and a decline of production from existing mines. Rio Tinto’s Argyle mine in Australia produces 95% of the fancy pink diamond market worldwide and is expected to close in 2020. While it is projected that three or four new mines will come into production over the next five years, none are expected to be significant producers of colored diamond stones.

 

Declines in supply are also happening in the face of growing demands. It is expected that demand for diamonds will grow by over 33% over the next seven years, while there is less than twenty years of supply remaining. Emerging markets, most notably China, India and Russia, are driving much of this growth.

 

We plan to manage a portfolio of rare colored diamonds that are selected for both long-term price-per share potential and short-term active trading margin.

 

We intend to bring transparency, technology and experience to this hard-asset sector, providing a unique opportunity to investors to participate in the gains of what has traditionally been inaccessible until now.

 

The Market for Colored Diamonds

 

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Gulf Peal Ltd. and goNumerical Ltd. (the “Consulting Firms”). We wish to create and sell a cryptocurrency backed by our colored diamonds. To achieve this goal, we have engaged the Consulting Firms under the terms of the MOU to develop and help with the crowdsale of BitGem cryptocurrency.

 

Under the MOU, we are to provide an asset pool comprised of colored diamonds with a total appraised retail value of $5,000,000 that will be deposited into a fund at a listing price of 100% of retail. We will release $5,000,000 BitGem tokens for sale at a price of $1 each.

 

We will receive proceeds of the BitGem tokens from sales that occur on the BitGem platform. This website, which is developed and expected to launch in December of 2015, will include a catalog of the diamonds in the fund, a discussion forum and a section for the BitGem crowdsale. The crowdsale section provides instructions on how crowd members are to purchase BitGem tokens.

 

 1 

 

 

The Consulting Firms will coordinate with the crowd members for the purchase of BitGem tokens and send us the proceeds less a percentage for the Consulting Firms. For the first 2,000,000 tokens sold, the Consulting Firms shall keep 15% of any proceeds of the BitGems crowdsale as commission. For the remaining tokens (the last three million tokens) the Consulting Firms shall keep 10% of any proceeds of the BitGems crowdsale as commission.

 

As part of the remuneration to the Consulting Firms, each of the Consulting Firms shall receive 500,000 shares of our common stock, with vesting as follows:

 

125,000 shares shall vest upon the signing of the MOU (have not yet been issued but will be issued soon);
   
125,000 shares shall vest upon the completion and successful test run of the bitgems website that will serve as the platform market for the tokens;
   
125,000 shares shall vest upon public launch of the crowdsale market; and
   
125,000 shares shall vest upon successfully selling 500,000 BitGem tokens.

 

We are able to add new assets to the fund to generate additional BitGem tokens for sale in the market under the procedure outlined in the MOU.

 

We are required to pay for all expenses not related to the platform development, including legal fees, newsletters, infrastructure fees, paid advertising and all third party marketing services.

 

Competitive Advantages

 

Access - With an incredibly small global output, the colored diamond market is administered by a small amount of players. It is near impossible to enter this market without an established name. Precious, with its experienced team and wide network is poised to remove the gatekeepers from new investors to the market.

 

Industry positioning – The traditionally compartmentalized diamond industry relies on wholesale, auctions and investment diamond brokers. We have access to these multiple sales outlets, which are not normally open to new players. We will be buying based on what sellers need to sell, given they fit the minimum investment criteria.

 

Proven revenue streams – With global market drivers the colored diamond market is expected to appreciate 10-15% per year, making long-term investments more attractive as time goes on. Additionally with existing sale platforms the purchase and sale of diamonds is open to us to actively manage the asset base through trading.

 

Team

 

The management team is located in Toronto, with over twenty years of experience in the US public markets. They have access to a network of the largest dealers of polished colored diamonds in the world. Additionally through affiliations in the auction industry, management has access to distressed and liquidation lots.

 

Our Strategy

 

Our long-term investment strategy includes:

 

The creation of a world class portfolio of unique color diamonds with high appreciation value, based on factors including closure of major producing mines, world availability and cost per carat.

 

Consolidation of majority of new production of flawless fancy colored diamonds which is currently fragmented.

 

 2 

 

 

Create Gem-Coin, a cyber-currency with color diamonds as the underlying asset.

 

Become the go-to brand for the major jewelry houses to purchase exceptional gems and large volume of color diamonds for their annual collections.

 

Funding

 

We plan to launch our Bitgem business with funds that we have available. We recently conducted a small offering and raised roughly US$30,000. We will need to raise US$10 million in the issuance of securities in order to grow our business. Upon securing funds, we plan to execute on a 12-month business strategy, which we hope will see a positive cash flow in the years to follow. If we are able to raise funds, we plan to use them as follows:

 

Trigger conversion of notes secured by existing lot of diamonds - $4,000,000 (retail value of $7-8,000,000).

 

Purchase of color diamond target lots - $5,000,000 (retail value over $10,000,000).

 

Gem-Coin launch - $500,000 (of value to be sold for $2,000,000)

 

Marketing, PR and celebrity fees - $500,000

 

Operations are expected to be paid from the revenue generated from the above.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

Our principal offices are located at 133 Richmond Street West, Suite 310, Toronto Ontario Canada M5H-2L3. Our lease is month to month.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

Market Information

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “PNIK” on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Currently there is no trading market for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his securities in our company.

 

The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCPink. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock

 

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 market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or 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 SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) 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 of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) 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; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

 4 

 

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of November 11, 2015, we had 3,957,757 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 122 shareholders of record, other than those held in street name.  

 

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
   
2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On October 1, 2015, as part of the remuneration to the Consulting Firms, each of the Consulting Firms shall receive 500,000 shares of our common stock, with vesting as follows:

 

  125,000 shares shall vest upon the signing of the MOU; these shares have not yet been issued, but will be issued soon;
     
  125,000 shares shall vest upon the completion and successful test run of the bitgems.io website that will serve as the platform market for the tokens;

  125,000 shares shall vest upon successfully selling 500,000 BitGem tokens.

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We have no equity compensation program, including no stock option plan, and none are planned for the foreseeable future.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended July 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenues

 

We have generated no revenues since our inception. We do not expect to achieve revenues until we implement either our colored diamond business or mineral exploration business.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $642,263 for the year ended July 31, 2015 from $68,176 for the year ended July 31, 2014. Our operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 2015 consisted mainly of general and administrative expenses of $156,013 and executive and director compensation of $486,250. Our operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 2015 consisted mainly of general and administrative expenses of $68,176.

 

We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations, as outlined above.

 

Other Expenses

 

We had other expenses of $18,934 for the year ended July 31, 2015, compared with other expenses of $21,179 for the year ended July 31, 2014. Other expenses for both periods were a result of interest expenses.

 

 6 

 

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the year ended July 31, 2015 was $661,197 compared to net loss of $89,355 for the year ended July 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of July 31, 2015, we had total current assets of $0 and total assets in the amount of $0. Our total current liabilities as of July 31, 2015 were $526,020. We had a working capital deficit of $526,020 as of July 31, 2015.

 

Operating activities used $42,910 in cash for the year ended July 31, 2015. Our net loss of $661,197 was the main component of our negative operating cash flow, offset mainly by shares issued for services of $486,250.

 

As outlined above, we expect to spend approximately $1,000,000 toward the initial implementation of our business plan over the course of our first full fiscal year. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of July 31, 2015, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of July 31, 2015, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,440,642. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820-10 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the Note principal or the most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820-10 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities

 

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including investments to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740-Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. We provide for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

FASB ASC 740 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements. Also, the statement implements a process for measuring those tax positions that meet the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. There are no uncertain tax positions taken by us on our tax returns. We file tax returns in the U.S. and states in which it has operations and is subject to taxation. Tax years subsequent to 2008 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist of payables and long-term debt. The carrying amount of payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to the relationship between the interest rate on long-term debt and our incremental risk adjusted borrowing rate.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method.

 

Since we reflected a net loss for the year ended July 31, 2015, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if exercisable, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted loss per share is not presented.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. This reclassification had no effect on the reported results of operations. The Company concluded that it was appropriate to classify its loans from a related party as a separate line item in the balance sheet. Previously, such loans were immaterial and were included in accounts payable. The amount reclassified as of July 31, 2014 was $3,039.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Precious Investments Inc. (Formerly FIGO Ventures, Inc.)

  

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Precious Investments Inc. (Formerly FIGO Ventures, Inc.), the “Company” as of July 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 the Company as of July 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Precious Investments Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

 

Stockholders of FIGO Ventures, Inc. (an exploration stage company)

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of FIGO Ventures, Inc. (Formerly AAA Energy, Inc., an exploration stage company, the “Company”) as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Figo Ventures internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 the Company as of July 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended July 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Figo Ventures has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – ORGNIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of Business

Precious Investments, Inc. (Formerly FIGO Ventures, Inc.) (‘The Company’) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 26, 2004. The Company was an Exploration Stage Company with the principle business being the acquisition and exploration of resource properties. The Company previously had a mining lease concession that covered 233.50 hectares in the Municipalities of San Carlos and San Rafael, Antiocha, Colombia. As a result of the Company’s new business direction in the colored diamond trading business, it has abandoned the business of working on exploring the mining lease.

 

The Company had allowed its charter with the state of Nevada to be revoked by the Secretary of State for failure to file the required annual lists and pay the required annual fees. Its last known officers and directors reflected in the records of the Secretary of State were unresponsive or stated they were no longer involved with the Corporation. The purported replacement officers and directors were unresponsive.

 

On September 14, 2012, NPNC Management, LLC filed a petition in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada and was appointed custodian of The Company on October 15, 2012.

 

In order to obtain basic operating capital to pay for the reinstatement of the Company’s good standing with the Nevada Secretary of State, to bring the Company’s account current with creditors essential for the reorganization of the Company, such as the transfer agent, and for basic general corporate purposes, on October 24, 2012, the interim board authorized the sale of 55,000,000 (2,200,000 split adjusted) shares of common stock for $6,000 to NPNC Management, LLC, in a private placement transaction exempt from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to section 4(2) thereof and the rules and regulations promulgated there under.

 

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as reported on our fiscal years ending on July 31, 2015 and 2014. We have summarized our most significant accounting policies.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

  

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820-10 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the Note principal or the most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820-10 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities

Precious Investments, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including investments to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740—Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company provides for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

FASB ASC 740 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements. Also, the statement implements a process for measuring those tax positions that meet the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. There are no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company on its tax returns. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. and states in which it has operations and is subject to taxation. Tax years subsequent to 2008 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company financial instruments consist of payables and long-term debt. The carrying amount of payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to the relationship between the interest rate on long-term debt and The Company incremental risk adjusted borrowing rate.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of its financial statements. The Company's management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. This reclassification had no effect on the reported results of operations. The Company concluded that it was appropriate to classify its loans from a related party as a separate line item in the balance sheet. Previously, such loans were immaterial and were included in accounts payable. The amount reclassified as of July 31, 2014 was $3,039.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of July 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,440,642. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – MINERAL PROPERTIES 

 

Mineral properties as of July 31, 2014, consisted of an assignment of an interest in the mining concession for the mining operations of what is known as the Rafael mine acquired on December 25, 2013, when we entered into a Lease Assumption Agreement with Capital Gold Mining Resources SAS (“CGM”), a company domiciled in Bogota, Columbia in exchange for 50 million shares of our common stock valued at $50,000. This share issuance was valued at the par value of the shares issued as there was no trading market for our shares at the time and we have been unable to determine a fair value of the lease assumption. The Company in no longer intending to exploit the mining property as such has impaired the entire value of the property as of July 31, 2015.

 

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s fair value measurements at July 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

Notes Payable  Level 1   Level 2   Total

Each warrant shall entitle the Lender to purchase an additional common share of the Company at $0.60 during the term of the warrants.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

A shareholder of the Company has paid certain expenses of the Company. These amounts are reflected as a loan payable to related party. The shareholder advanced $45,949 and $3,039 as of July 31, 2105 and July 31, 2014, respectively.

 

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On July 23, 2015, our majority shareholder and our board of directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of approving a reverse split of one to twenty in which each shareholder will be issued one common share in exchange for every twenty common shares of their currently issued common stock. All share have been retroactively restated to show the effect of the reverse stock split.

  

A copy of the Certificate of Change that was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on July 23, 2015 is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On June 29, 2015, our Board of Directors voted to designate a class of preferred stock entitled Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of up 250,000 shares, par value $0.001. Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will participate on an equal basis per-share with holders of our common stock in any distribution upon winding up, dissolution, or liquidation. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of three hundred (300) votes for each share held. On July 13, 2015, the Company issued a total of 250,000 shares the newly designated Series A Preferred Stock valued at $250 for services rendered to our company.

 

On August 19, 2014, a convertible note holder exercised their option to convert $5,625 in principal into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.00225 per share, resulting in the issuance of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Precious Investments, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2015 and 2014

 

On August 22, 2014, two convertible note holders each exercised their option to convert $5,625 in principal into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.00225 per share, resulting in the issuance of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On September 24, 2014, a convertible note holder exercised their option to convert $1,069 in principal into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.00225 per share, resulting in the issuance of 23,750 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On June 2, 2015, the Company issued 300,000 shares of stock for services valued at $486,000 as follows:

 

Nataliya Hearns   250,000 @$1.62   $405,000 
David Young   50,000 @ $1.62   $81,000 

 

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigations, Claims and Assessments

 

The Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise that may harm its business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

 

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

 

FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $76,607 ($34,000 in 2014) which is calculated by multiplying a 34% estimated tax rate  by the taxable cumulative NOL of $221,734. The total valuation allowance is $65,369.08 ($34,000 in 2013). Details for the last two years follow:

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On August 10, 2015, we entered into a Diamond Purchase Agreement with Kashif Khan wherein we acquired colored diamonds with a wholesale value initially thought to be $4 million USD for the issuance of three convertible notes payable.  We are currently evaluating how to account for this transaction, whether as an asset acquisition or as a business combination.

 

Because these was no operating business which included the colored diamonds, we are currently planning on treating the acquisition as an asset acquisition. However, the convertible notes issued in exchange for the colored diamonds are convertible on demand into an effective 50% stock ownership and Mr. Khan also received preferred shares and became our CEO. In substance then this is a transaction with a control person and, as required by SEC regulations, we anticipate recording these colored diamonds at Mr. Khan’s basis, currently thought to be zero, with any remaining consideration resulting in an acquisition expense, currently thought to be $4 million USD.

 

The final accounting will be disclosed in our Form 10Q to be filed on or about December 15, 2015.

For more information on the change in accountants, please see our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2015.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being July 31, 2015. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending July 31, 2016: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

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 an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance 

 

The following information sets forth the names, ages, and positions of our current directors and executive officers as of July 31, 2015.

Natalya Hearn   48   President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, & Director
Kashif Khan   37   Chief Operating Officer and Director
David Young   63   Vice President and Director

 

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of each of our current executive officers and directors.

 

Nataliya Hearn, President and CEO

 

From September 2011 to the present, Dr. Hearn has been the President of Rare Earth Refining Inc. From January 2013 to the present, she has been a Director of Alcereco Inc. From October 2010 to 2012, she was the Chairman, CEO and President of American Rare Earths and Materials (symbol AREM). From October 2002 to 2010, she was the Chairman, CEO and President of Element 21 Sports (symbol EGLF).

 

Aside from the foregoing, Dr. Hearn has served as a director of the following public entities:

 

May 2008 to 2010 - Pro-Tect, Inc. (Symbol: PRTT.PK)

 

April 1999 to 2006 - Mag Industries (Symbol: MAA.V --TXS.V)

 

Dr. Hearn obtained her B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto and her Ph.D. in Material Engineering from the University of Cambridge, UK. We believe her valuable experience and education in the fields of rare earths sourcing and processing, patented material development, proprietary manufacturing, engineering and final product marketing qualify her to serve as a director of our company.

 

Kashif Khan, COO and Director

 

Mr. Khan was appointed as a member of our Board of Directors on August 10, 2015. From 2009 to the present, Mr. Khan has been Managing Director, Owner and Auctioneer of Ritchies Auctioneers. Ritchies is auctioneer of fine Canadian art, international art, decorative art, jewelry, wine and other personal property.

 

We believe Mr. Khan’s valuable experience in the area of precious gems qualifies him to serve as a director of our company.

 

David Young, Vice President and Director

 

Mr. Young was appointed as our Vice President of Mining Operations and Director on January 16, 2014. From 2007 to the present, Mr. Young serves as the project manager of Advanced Exploration Inc. in Toronto, Ontario. His responsibilities include overseeing drill operations in the exploration site of Nunavut. From 2005 to 2007, he was the site supervisor of Sparton Resources Limited, where he coordinate drilling and safety activities in the Yunnan Province of China.

 

Mr. Young has 15 years of overseeing mineral exploration and we believe his experience, skills and attributes obtained from this experiences qualifies him for service on our board of directors.

 

Robert Young is the officer and director of CGM Resources Limited, our majority shareholder, and the brother of our officer and director, David Young. David Young is not an officer, director or shareholder of CGM. As the majority shareholder, Robert Young was instrumental in the decision for David Young being named as our officer and director. Robert knew that David possessed the mining experience to lead our mining operations. There is no other arrangement or understanding between Robert and David other than just described. Other than the foregoing, there was no understanding or arrangement with any person under which Mr. Young was appointed as an officer or director of our company.

 

Directors

 

Our bylaws authorize no less than one (1) and more than thirteen (13) directors. We currently have three (3) directors.

 

 11 

 

 

Term of Office

 

Our Directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

Audit Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

 

We do not have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes as needed.

 

For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2015, the board of directors:

 

1.     Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and

2.     Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor’s independence.

Based upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2015 to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has not yet adopted a Code of Ethics as defined by applicable rules of the SEC. The Company anticipates that it will adopt a Code of Ethics when appropriate as it hires additional employees, obtains additional officers and directors, and begins operations.

Describe the outstanding 3 convertible prom note here. 

 

On August 10 2015, we entered into a Diamond Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kashif Khan (“Khan”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired from Khan colored diamonds with a wholesale value of $4,000,000 (the “Assets”). We did not assume any of Khan’s liabilities in the transaction.

 

In consideration for the Assets, we agreed to issue to Khan three demand secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000. The Notes have the following features:

 

Note A

 

Note A is in the principal amount of $1.7 million, accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures: a) within 20 business days of a receipt of written demand from the holder for payment of all of the Notes, provided that i) we have not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing before written demand was tendered or any portion of Note was converted into shares of our common stock; or b) in all other cases, thirty-six months from the issuance of Note A.

 

Upon written demand for payment, we may either pay all principal and accrued interest on the Notes or return the Assets to the holder to fulfill all obligations.

 

The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock at $0.247386975 per share up to a maximum conversion allowance of 6,871,825 shares. If the we raise $5 million in debt or equity financing or if the holder converts any portion of Note A, then the Note will automatically convert at maturity into a total of 6,871,825 shares of our common stock. If we prepay Notes B and C, however, then the conversion price will adjust to $0.105139464 per share for a total conversion allowance of 16,169,000 shares.

 

We may not prepay Note A and it is secured by $1,700,000 worth of the Assets.

 

Note B

 

Note A is in the principal amount of $1.15 million, accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures: a) within 20 business days of a receipt of written demand from the holder for payment of all of the Notes, provided that i) we have not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing before written demand was tendered or any portion of Note was converted into shares of our common stock; or b) in all other cases, thirty-six months from the issuance of Note B.

 

Upon written demand for payment, we may either pay all principal and accrued interest on the Notes or return the Assets to the holder to fulfill all obligations.

 

The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock at $0.247386975 per share up to a maximum conversion allowance of 4,648,587 shares. If we raise $5 million in debt or equity financing or if the holder converts any portion of Note B, then the Note will automatically convert at maturity into a total of 4,648,587 shares of our common stock.

 

We may prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under Note B, provided that we also prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of Note C. Note B is secured by $1,150,000 worth of the Assets.

 

Note C

 

Note A is in the principal amount of $1.15 million, accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures: a) within 20 business days of a receipt of written demand from the holder for payment of all of the Notes, provided that i) we have not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing before written demand was tendered or any portion of Note was converted into shares of our common stock; or b) in all other cases, thirty-six months from the issuance of Note C.

 

Upon written demand for payment, we may either pay all principal and accrued interest on the Notes or return the Assets to the holder to fulfill all obligations.

 

 15 

 

 

The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock at $0.247386975 per share up to a maximum conversion allowance of 4,648,588 shares. If we raise $5 million in debt or equity financing or if the holder converts any portion of Note B, then the Note will automatically convert at maturity into a total of 4,648,588 shares of our common stock.

 

We may prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under Note C, provided that we also prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of Note B. Note C is secured by $1,150,000 worth of the Assets.

 

Also, as provided in the Agreement, our officer and director, Natalya Hearn, agreed to transfer her 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Khan. Under the Agreement, these shares of Series A Preferred Stock will cancel and return to our treasury upon Khan converting the Notes into 51% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Also, if Kahn demands payment of the Notes, then the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will cancel and return to our treasury.

 

We also agreed to appoint two nominees of Khan to our board of directors and to register 7,500,000 shares of common stock converted from existing notes along with remaining shares of common stock underlying convertible notes. The Notes in favor of Khan do not have registration rights.

 

CGM Resources Limited, a shareholder of the Company, has paid certain expenses of the Company. These amounts are reflected as a loan payable to related party. The shareholder advanced $45,949 and $3,039 as of July 31, 2105 and July 31, 2014, respectively.
