These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth, our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions, new product development and introduction, existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations, adverse publicity, competition, fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results, change in business strategy or development plans, business disruptions, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Although the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
History
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2010 under the name “Advanced Ventures Corp.” . Effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.”
In connection with our former business, we entered into an exclusive worldwide patent sale agreement (the “Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement”) with Ilanit Appelfeld (the “Seller”), to acquire a patented technology, U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209 (the “Patent”), for a catheter with a integral anchoring mechanism on July 27, 2010. We acquired the patent and technology for $17,500 (seventeen thousand five hundred United States Dollars), according to the terms and conditions specified in the Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement related to U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209.
During the second quarter of 2011 the Company raised gross proceeds of $75,000 pursuant to an effective Form S-1 Registration Statement and issued 37,500,000 post forward stock split shares of common stock that were registered pursuant to the Form S-1 Registration Statement.
Effective March 7, 2012, we increased the number of our authorized shares of common stock to three billion shares (3,000,000,000) and engaged in a forward stock split of its common shares whereby each one share of our common stock was split into fifteen shares of our common stock.
During the second fiscal quarter of 2014, we elected to discontinue our business of exploiting the Patent and began to consider other business opportunities that may bring quicker and greater value to our stockholders. We initially considered entering into the business of trading precious metal bullion primarily in the Asia Pacific region. Therefore, effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.” to more adequately reflect our initial intended business operations.
During the third fiscal quarter of 2014, we identified an opportunity to enter into the real property development business in Cambodia. On August 28, 2014, we executed a Share Exchange Agreement with G.U. International Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles and our wholly owned subsidiary (“GUI”), and Kao Wei-Chen, an individual representing herself and 8 other individuals (collectively, the “Golden Corridor Shareholders”), which agreement was amended several times to extend the closing date of the acquisition (collectively, the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we, through GUI, purchased 480 shares of Phnom Penh Golden Corridor Trading Co. Limited (the “GC Shares”), from 9 private Golden Corridor Shareholders, representing 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Golden Corridor. As consideration, we agreed to issue to the Golden Corridor Shareholders 2,500,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a value of US $0.002 per share, for an aggregate value of US $5,000,000. We consummated the acquisition of the GC Shares on December 31, 2015.
Golden Corridor owns three parcels of land located at National Road 44, Phum Phkung, Chbarmorn Commune, Chbarmorn District, Kampong Speu Province, Kingdom of Cambodia, measuring an aggregate of 172,510 square meters (collectively, the “Properties”). Pursuant to an independent valuation conducted by a third party appraisal firm licensed under the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Cambodia and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Cambodia, the Properties have an estimated value of US $10,350,600 as of April 8, 2014. Golden Corridor intends to develop the Properties into an industrial park for rental income within the next two or three years. Golden Corridor has not yet commenced any significant operations.

As a result of our acquisition of the GC Shares, we elected to cease our metal bullion trading business and enter into the real estate development and rental business located in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
A chart of our corporate structure is set forth below.
Description of Business
On August 14th, 2013, PHNOM PENH GOLDEN CORRIDOR TRADING CO., LTD. (“Golden Corridor”) was officially registered as a private limited liability company and obtained the company business license from the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Golden Corridor intends to engage in the business of purchasing, selling and leasing of land and houses, as well as making investments in industrial properties.
On September 2, 2013, Golden Corridor acquired 3 parcels of land totaling 172,510 square meters located at National Road 44, Phum Phkung, Chbarmorn Commune, Chbarmorn District, Kampong Speu Province, Kingdom of Cambodia (the “Properties”) at a purchase price of 2,560,950,000 Riel. On April 8th, 2014, Vtrust Appraisal Co., Ltd., a valuation company having valuation license from Ministry of Economy and Finance and Securities and Exchange Commission of Cambodia (SECC), appraised that the Properties at a fair market value of approximately US$10,356,000. According to the valuation report, the Properties are classified under Community Development type of property.
Golden Corridor plans to develop the Properties into an industrial park. It expects to construct, market, sell and or lease light industrial factories, shop lots and low and medium cost residential houses on the Properties. Golden Corridor estimates that it will require approximately US$200,000 to engage the necessary technical experts (including a property development consultant, architect, and civil and electrical engineers) to draw up a comprehensive property development plan. It hopes to raise such funds through loans from its executive officers, directors or shareholders or financial institutions. In the event that Golden Corridor fails to raise the funds required within the next 12 months, it may apply to the land authority in Phnom Penh to subdivide the Properties into smaller parcels and sell such parcels to small and medium sized enterprises and individuals to build their factories, shops and low and medium cost houses in accordance to the current laws in the Kingdom of Cambodia. Golden Corridor hopes to complete such development within the next two or three years, subject to the final approval from the local government.
There can be no assurance that Golden Corridor or the Company will ever obtain such funds required to commence property development. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new property development business, and therefore, our investment in Golden Corridor is a highly speculative venture involving significant financial risk.
Market Information
According to an April 2014 report by CB Richard Ellis (Cambodia) Co. Ltd., an affiliate of CBRE Group, Inc., the industrial market in Cambodia remained stable with continued foreign direct investment in manufacturing. It was reported that the inflation rate of Cambodia was 2.9% for the year 2014 which was relatively low as compared to other countries in the Southeast Asian region. It also reported the following trends: the minimum wages for manufacturing sector are comparatively low; Cambodia’s industrial output grew by 9.5% over the course 2013, the 17th highest industrial growth rate globally and above wider Cambodian GPD of 7.3%; the minimum wage for manufacturing industry workers that were introduced in 2014 appeared not to have significantly diminished demand for industrial space in the short-term; and the rents in industrial zones were generally stable as a continuation of trends seen in 2013, with a rental rate of US$2.50 per square meter per month for prime locations in industrial zones and US$2.0 per square meter per month in lower quality industrial zones, where units are of a lesser standard. It is believed that there remains a distinct lack in the supply of light industrial buildings as occupancy levels in existing industrial zones remain high.

Near-Term Requirements For Additional Capital
For the immediate future, we intend to finance our real estate development efforts and any future real estate acquisitions through sales of our securities to existing shareholders and loans from existing shareholders or financial institutions.
We intend to focus on our near-term goal of developing our Properties and any other properties slated for acquisition through prudent use of available resources and our long-term goal of maximizing the value of our development projects. We believe that Kampong Speu, Cambodia is a desirable market and we intend to continue exploring acquisitions in the region. We believe that our developments will have inherent value given their unique nature and location and that this value should be sustainable in the future.
Golden Corridor is subject to all of the risks inherent in a property development company, including the fall in value of the Properties. It has never generated revenues. We expect Golden Corridor to incur relatively small operating losses over the next twelve months until we begin property development activities. There can be no assurance that that we will ever be successful in our new real estate development business.
Competition
The real estate development business is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete against numerous public and private developers of varying sizes, ranging from local to national in scope. As a result, we may be competing for investment opportunities, financing, and potential buyers with entities that may possess greater financial, marketing, or other resources than we have. Competition for potential buyers has been intensified by an increase in the number of available properties resulting from the recent boom in the real estate market. Our prospective customers generally have a variety of choices of new and existing homes, commercial buildings, home and commercial sites when considering a purchase. We attempt to differentiate our properties primarily on the basis of community design, location, price, quality, uniqueness, and amenities.
The real estate investment industry is highly fragmented among individuals, partnerships and public and private entities, with no dominant single entity or person. Although we may compete against large sophisticated owners and operators, owners and operators of any size can provide effective competition for prospective tenants. We compete for tenants primarily on the basis of property location, rent charged, and the design and condition of improvements.
Intellectual Property
We expect to rely on, trade secrets, copyrights, know-how, trademarks, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish our intellectual property rights and protect our brand and services. These legal means, however, afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
In addition, the laws of Cambodia may not protect our brand and services and intellectual property to the same extent as U.S. laws, if at all. We may be unable to fully protect our intellectual property rights in these countries.
We intend to seek the widest possible protection for significant product and process developments in our major markets through a combination of trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and patents, if applicable. We anticipate that the form of protection will vary depending upon the level of protection afforded by the particular jurisdiction. We expect that our revenue will be derived principally from our operations in Cambodia where intellectual property protection may be limited and difficult to enforce. In such instances, we may seek protection of our intellectual property through measures taken to increase the confidentiality of our findings.
We intend to register trademarks as a means of protecting the brand names of our companies and products. We intend protect our trademarks against infringement and also seek to register design protection where appropriate.
We rely on trade secrets and unpatentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. We expect that, where applicable, we will require our employees to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment with us. We expect these agreements to provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. The agreements will also provide that all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our company. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.

Government Regulation and Environmental Matters
Our real estate investments are subject to extensive local, city, county and state rules and regulations regarding permitting, zoning, subdivision, utilities and water quality as well as federal rules and regulations relating to the environment and wildlife such as air and water quality and protection of endangered species and their habitats. Such regulation may delay development of our properties and result in higher than anticipated developmental and administrative costs. Based on an analysis of our operations in relation to current and presently anticipated environmental requirements, we currently do not anticipate that these costs will have a material adverse effect on our future operations or financial condition.
According to a July 2014 report by CB Richard Ellis (Cambodia) Co. Ltd., land titles in Cambodia are represented in two forms: soft and hard title. Soft title refers to a title where a property is registered at the local municipal level but which cannot be used as collateral for bank loans while hard title refers to a title issued at the national government level which can be used as collateral for bank loans. Hard title is the most secure form of ownership. However, the majority of transactions still occur for land with soft title to avoid high transaction costs which include property registration taxes and ownership transfer fees. Private freehold ownership is permissible for all types of land but the full ownership is restricted to Cambodian citizens or companies with the majority of shares being owned by Cambodian citizens. Foreign investors may acquire freehold land only through a land holding company, 51% of which is controlled by a Cambodian citizen or company. Foreign investors can also use land in Cambodia under a long-term lease. The maximum lease term is restricted to 50 years determined by the civil code established in December 2011. The lease structure system allows foreign investors to lease property if the property is properly registered with a land title certificate. Property tax is levied on all property worth over 100 million Riel in Cambodia. This report also described the government’s taxes on the sale, transfer and ownership of land and properties in Cambodia. According to the report, tax is payable annually by the owner of the property at a rate of 0.1% of the government assessed value; Unused Land Tax is payable for all unused land, calculated at a rate of 2% of the market value of the land per square meter as determined by the Unused Land Valuation Commission of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, on an annually basis; and Property Transfer Tax is levied on a sale of land with Hard Title, at 4% of the assessed property value determined by the tax department, by the purchaser.
Seasonality
Our real estate business is not subject to seasonality.
Insurance
Neither we nor Golden Corridor currently maintain property, business interruption and casualty insurance. Golden Corridor intends to obtain such insurance in accordance with customary industry practices.
Employees
We currently do not have any full time or part time employees. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary, Lim Yew Chuan, is expected to carry out all administrative functions. Once Golden Corridor begins development activities, we expect Golden Corridor to hire additional officers and employees for such operations.
We do not have any union employees.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” and our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.
Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2010 under the name “Advanced Ventures Corp.” and are a development stage company. Effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.”
In connection with our former business, we entered into an exclusive worldwide patent sale agreement (the “Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement”) with Ilanit Appelfeld (the “Seller”), to acquire a patented technology, U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209 (the “Patent”), for a catheter with a integral anchoring mechanism on July 27, 2010. We acquired the patent and technology for $17,500 (seventeen thousand five hundred United States Dollars), according to the terms and conditions specified in the Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement related to U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209.
During the second quarter of 2011 the Company raised gross proceeds of $75,000 pursuant to an effective Form S-1 Registration Statement and issued 37,500,000 post forward stock split shares of common stock that were registered pursuant to the Form S-1 Registration Statement.
During the second fiscal quarter of 2014, we elected to discontinue our business of exploiting the Patent and began to consider other business opportunities that may bring quicker and greater value to our stockholders. We initially considered entering into the business of trading precious metal bullion primarily in the Asia Pacific region. We anticipated such business to be carried on through subsidiaries, which were expected to buy gold and silver bullion from refiners and subsequently sell the bullion to anticipated customers. Therefore, effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.” to more adequately reflect our intended business operations.
During the third fiscal quarter of 2014, we identified an opportunity to enter into the real property development business in Cambodia. On August 28, 2014, we executed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with G.U. International Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles and our wholly owned subsidiary (“GUI”), and Kao Wei-Chen, an individual representing herself and 18 other individuals (collectively, the “PPGCT Shareholders”), pursuant to which we, through GUI, would purchase 480 shares of Phnom Penh Golden Corridor Trading Co. Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia (“PPGCT”), held by the PPGCT Shareholders, representing 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PPGCT. As consideration, we agreed to issue to the PPGCT Shareholders 2,500,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a value of US $0.002 per share, for an aggregate value of US $5,000,000. The share exchange transaction closed December 31, 2015. It is our understanding that the PPGCT Shareholders are not U.S. Persons within the meaning of Regulations S. Accordingly, the Shares are being sold pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. A copy of the Share Exchange Agreement and its amendments are incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibits 10.3 through and including 10.6 to this annual report.
PPGCT owns three parcels of land located in the Kingdom of Cambodia, Kampong Speu Province, Chbarmorn District measuring an aggregate of 172,510 square meters (collectively, the “Properties”). Upon the consummation of the share exchange transaction, we hope to enter into the real property development business in Cambodia.
On July 21, 2014, we formed G.U. Asia Limited, a limited company, under the laws of Hong Kong, for the purpose of conducting business in Asia.
On July 31, 2014, we formed G.U. International Limited, a limited company, under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles, to operate our prospective real property development business.
Financial Condition
During the twelve-month period following the date of this annual report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or shareholder loans. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or shareholder loans to establish our new business.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
The following table sets forth certain operational data for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014:

Net Revenue. We have not generated revenues since inception and have not yet commenced business operations. We are working to develop our real estate development business in Cambodia and hope to generate revenue as such businesses develop.
Operating Loss. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred operating losses of $161,966, consisting solely of professional fees. During the same period ended December 31, 2014, our operating expense was $125,036, consisting of professional fees.
Other Income (Expense), net. We recorded net other expense in the amount of $35,432 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $520 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, which was a loss in foreign currency transactions.
Net Loss. We recorded a net loss of $161,966 and $124,516 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The increase in net loss is primarily due to an increase in professional fees associated with the acquisition of Golden Corridor and our equity loss from our investment in Golden Corridor.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We are not generating revenue and are dependent upon obtaining financing to continue our business plans. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2015, our current assets were $120,577 consisting of cash and cash equivalents and prepayment and deposit and our current liabilities were $214,837 resulting in a working capital deficit of $94,260. Our current liabilities consisted of $189,063 in advances from our director and $25,774 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Stockholders’ equity decreased from $277,471 as of December 31, 2014, to $153,890 as of December 31, 2015.

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock. Our present policy is to apply cash to investments in product development, acquisitions or expansion; consequently, we do not expect to pay dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
The success of our growth strategy is dependent upon the availability of additional capital resources on terms satisfactory to management. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions and public offerings, capital leases and long-term debt. There can be no assurance that we can raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash and other sources of liquidity discussed below are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares and shareholder loans in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities.
We have not generated any revenues since inception. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $197,356 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $94,399 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Net cash used consisted of a net loss of $161,966 and accrued expenses of $35,390.
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $118,967 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $51,596 for the same period ended December 31, 2014. Net cash provided from financing activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 consisted of advances from stockholders.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of financial instruments; income tax rate, income tax provision, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
9 |
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest—Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company elected to early adopt this standard which did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-11, Inventory—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330). The amendments in this ASU require an entity to measure inventory that is not measured using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory methods at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating this ASU and has not determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) A lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and 2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating this ASU and has not determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the 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 Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) there continue to be material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, that the weaknesses constitute a “deficiency” and that this deficiency could result in misstatements of the foregoing accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the financial statements for the period covered by this report that would not be detected, and (ii) accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2015.
However, it should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Management's Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets of the Company that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluations of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
As of December 31, 2015, management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2015.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
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 rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. Other Information.
None.

Biographies
Set forth below are brief accounts of the business experience during the past five years of each director, executive officer and significant employee of the Company, and each of the directors of Phnom Penh Golden Corridor Trading Co. Ltd.
Lim Yew Chuan, age 67, a Malaysian, joined us on February 18, 2016, as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director. He has been working as an independent business and system consultant out of Malaysia since his last position in 2011 as Senior Vice President of Systems in Interpay International Group Limited, a subsidiary of Cardtrend International Inc., a Nevada incorporated company, involving in payment systems.

Bhd., a large stock broking company in Malaysia in the mid-90s, handling mainly corporate clients. Prior to this, Mr. Lim worked as the manager of a company in Malaysia since 1975, dealing in trading of hardware materials for construction and engineering industries. Mr. Lim holds a B.Sc.

During 1977 to 1985, Ms. Kao served as the CEO of Taichung Jiyuan Enterprise in Taichung, Taiwan. As the CEO of Taichung Jiyuan Enterprise, she led a team in developing and building the company's business of wholesaling of imported household general and electrical goods. At the end of 1985, Ms. Kao was appointed as the CEO of Thailand Cai Hong Co. Ltd.., an import/export private limited company incorporated in Bangkok, Thailand. She left Thailand Cai Hong Co.

No executive officer or director has been involved in the last ten years in any of the following:
· | Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business or property of such person, or 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; |
· | Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |

Board Committees and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not currently have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee of the board of directors, or any committee performing similar functions. Our board of directors performs the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees. As of the date of this prospectus, no member of our board of directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. We hope to attract a director who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as we commence business operations.
Director Nominations
As of December 31, 2015, we did not affect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. We have not established formal procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s board of directors.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable filing requirements during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, except as set forth below: Kao Hsuan-Ying (aka Kao Wei-Chen) has not yet filed her Form 3 and Schedule 13D and Ms. Chou Pei-Chi, Ms. Chou Pei-Ying and Mr. Chou Feng-Kai have not yet filed their Schedule 13D’s.

Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and employees. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed as Exhibit 14 to this annual report and may be obtained free of charge by contacting us at the address or telephone number listed on the cover page hereof.
ITEM 11. Executive Compensation.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Our compensation program currently consists of cash compensation for the services provided. The compensation program objectives are to attract, motivate and retain the qualified executives that help ensure our future success, to provide incentives for increasing our profits by awarding executives when corporate goals are achieved and to align the interests of executives and long-term stockholders. The compensation package of our named executive officers consists of two main elements:
1. | base salary for our executives that is competitive relative to the market, and that reflects individual performance, retention and other relevant considerations; and |
2. | discretionary bonus awards payable in cash and tied to the satisfaction of corporate objectives. |
Base Salary
Our base salary structure is designed to encourage internal growth, attract and retain new talent, and reward strong leadership that will sustain our growth and profitability. The base salary for each named executive officer will reflect our past and current operating profits, the named executive officer’s individual contribution to our success throughout his career, internal pay equity and informal market data regarding comparable positions within similarly situated companies. In determining and setting base salary, we consider all of these factors, though it does not assign specific weights to any factor. We generally review the base salary for each named executive officer on an annual basis. For each of our named executive officers, we review base salary data internally obtained by the Company for comparable executive positions in similarly situated companies to ensure that the base salary rate for each executive is competitive relative to the market.
Discretionary Bonus
The objectives of our bonus awards are to encourage and reward our employees, including the named executive officers, who contribute to and participate in our success by their ability, industry, leadership, loyalty or exceptional service and to recruit additional executives who will contribute to that success.
Our named executive officers are eligible for consideration for a discretionary cash bonus. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations regarding bonus awards for the named executive officers and the board of directors provides the bonus recommendation for the Chief Executive Officer. However, the board has sole and final authority and discretion in designating to whom awards are made, the size of the award, if any, and its terms and conditions. The bonus recommendation for each of the named executive officers depends on a number of factors, including (i) the performance of the Company for the year, (ii) the satisfaction of certain individual and corporate performance measures, and (iii) other factors which the board may deem relevant. The Company did not award any cash bonuses during fiscal year 2015.
Equity Compensation
We recognize the importance of having a portion of the named executive officers’ compensation be paid in the form of equity, to help align the executives’ interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. At this point, however, we have chosen to emphasize the cash-based portion of our compensation program over a stock program because we believe the discretionary nature of the cash-based compensation gives us the needed flexibility to factor in and reward the attainment of longer-term goals for the Company and the executives, as the board deems appropriate.
The entire board of directors performs the functions that would be performed by a compensation committee. All of the directors participate in deliberations concerning the compensation paid to executive officers. The directors determine the compensation of the Company’s executives by assessing the value of each of its executives and collectively determine the amount of compensation required to retain the services of the company’s executives. We base the amount of compensation for our executives on negotiations between us and the executive. We did not perform any formal third party benchmarking or other market analysis with respect to the amount of such executive’s compensation.
15 |
In approving compensation necessary to attract and retain our present executive officers, the board of directors concluded that the salary provided to our executive officer is reasonable considering our financial condition and the stage of development of our business. The objective of the compensation plan is to provide our executives with competitive remuneration for their skills such that we can retain our personnel for an extended period of time. As our operations mature and if our revenue permits, we expect that the specific direction, emphasis and components of our executive compensation programs will continue to evolve. Factors that may influence our decision to change our compensation policies include general market conditions, our future revenue growth and profitability, the implementation of our business plan and strategy and increasing complexity of our business.
Compensation Related Risks
Our board of directors reviewed our compensation policies and practices and determined that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and stockholders of
Gold Union Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gold Union Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 (restated) and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (restated). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
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 consolidated 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 includes 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial losses this year, all of which raise 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. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND |
Gold Union Inc. (formerly “Advanced Ventures Corp.”, or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2010. The Company has revised its business plan to trade in precious metal bullion primarily in the Asia Pacific region.
Effective January 6, 2015, Advanced Ventures Corp. effected a name change to Gold Union Inc.
On March 27, 2012, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Ventures (HK) Ltd., under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HK SAR”) of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Advanced Ventures (HK) Ltd. engages in the same line of business as that of the Company. On November 1, 2014 the Company dissolved Advanced Ventures (HK) Ltd. Advanced Ventures (HK) Ltd. which was inactive during its existence.
On July 21, 2014, the Company formed G.U. Asia Limited, a limited company, under the laws of Hong Kong, for the purpose of conducting business in Asia.
On July 31, 2014, the Company formed G.U. International Limited, under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles.
On December 31, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 48% equity interest in Phnom Penh Golden Corridor Trading Co. Limited (“PPGCT”) in exchange of 2,500,000,000 shares of its common stock. PPGCT was treated as the acquirer for accounting purpose since the original stockholders of PPGCT owned a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction. PPGCT was the legal acquiree but deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The Company was the legal acquirer but deemed to be the accounting acquire. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under U.S. GAAP. Historical stockholders’ equity of the acquirer prior to the merger are retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger. Operations prior to the merger are those of the acquirer. After completion of the transaction, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities, the operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
2. | GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has suffered from continuous losses with an accumulated deficit of $499,478 as of December 31, 2015 and experienced negative cash flows from operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2015 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Ÿ | Basis of presentation |
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
F-7 |
Ÿ | Use of estimates and assumptions |
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Ÿ | Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GOLU and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accounts of PPGCT, which represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Although the Company legally owns 4% equity interest in PPGCT, there is an effective control of PPGCT by the common shareholders of the Company and PPGCT, and whose financial statements are required to be consolidated. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
Ÿ | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
Ÿ | Land under development |
Land under development relating to freehold farmland, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational.
Long-lived assets primarily include freehold farmland held for development. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “ Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ”, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.
Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost
The cost of land includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Land under Development in the balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no such capitalized interest and capitalized development cost.
A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and construction of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The Company adopts the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “ Interest – Capitalization of Interest ” and ASC Topic 970 “ Real Estate - General ”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and the Company capitalized only those costs associated with the portion under construction. No cost was capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Ÿ | Income taxes |
The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13.addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Ÿ | Net loss per share |
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
There were no potentially outstanding dilutive shares for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Ÿ | Related parties |
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Ÿ | Commitments and contingencies |
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
F-9 |
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Ÿ | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Ÿ | Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest—Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this ASU. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company elected to early adopt this standard which did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
F-10 |
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-11, Inventory—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330). The amendments in this ASU require an entity to measure inventory that is not measured using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory methods at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating this ASU and has not determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) A lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and 2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating this ASU and has not determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
4. | LAND UNDER DEVELOPMENT |
In September 2013, the Company purchased three pieces of freehold farmland located at Phkang Village, Chbarmorn Commune, Chbarmorn District, Phnom Penh, Cambodia with a total land size of 172,510 meter square. These lands are currently vacant and the Company is actively anticipating the town planning and development application. The Company expects to develop and construct an industrial complex for rental income purpose, which will be completed in the next two to three years, subject to the final approval from the local government.
No depreciation is provided for during the periods presented.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company incurred $415,156 of cumulative net operating losses which can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2035, if unutilized. The Company has provided for a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $141,153 on the expected future tax benefits from the net operating loss carryforwards as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.
