Palayan Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 26, 2013 and is a mineral exploration and production company engaged in the exploration, acquisition, and development of mineral properties. The Company holds a claim in the Palayan Gold Mine in Nueva Ecija, Philippines and is in the process of exploring these claims, as well as raising additional capital for future acquisitions.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has generated no revenues to date, and has an accumulated deficit of $68,651. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plan of action over the next twelve months is to raise capital financing to conduct exploration and drilling on its mineral property claims held in Nueva Ecija, Philippines as well as exploring for new mineral property claims.

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of mineral properties, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at December 31 and March 31, 2015, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
(unaudited)

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on July 26, 2013 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred until proven and probable reserves are established. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 440, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” which requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets.

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As of December 31 and March 31, 2015, the Company had no potentially dilutive shares.

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31 and March 31, 2015, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
(unaudited)

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash. Pursuant to ASC, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

As at December 31, 2015, the Company owed $50,000 (2014 - $15,000) to the President and Director of the Company. The amount owing is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

We have evaluated subsequent events through to the date of issuance of the financial statements, and did not have any material recognizable subsequent events after December 31, 2015.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, or implied, by those forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words may, will, should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intends, potential, proposed, or continue or the negative of those terms. These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors which may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception we have raised capital through private placements of common stock aggregating $30,000 with our only two shareholders and officers: Mr. Cortez and Mr. Soo. We have also obtained loans of $40,000 from Mr. Cortez.

Our capital commitments for the coming 12 months consist of administrative expenses, expenses associated with the completion of our planned exploration program and costs of distribution of the securities being registered in this Prospectus. Including this exploration work and costs of this offering, we estimate that we will have to incur the following expenses during the next 12 months:

⁽¹⁾            For Phase I and Phase II of the recommended exploration program.

Based on our cash on hand of approximately $6,349 as at December 31, 2015 we will be required to raise approximately $38,570 to execute our current plan of operation. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to execute our plan of operation, we intend to scale back our operations commensurately with the funds available to us. We intend to raise the capital that we require through the private placement of our securities or through loans from our President. However we have not received any financing commitments and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in so doing.

We have no plant or significant equipment to sell, nor are we going to buy any plant or significant equipment during the next 12 months. We will not buy any equipment unless we locate a body of ore and determine that it is economical to extract the ore from the land. We may attempt to interest other companies to undertake exploration work on our Gold Claim through joint venture arrangement or even the sale of part of our Gold Claim. Neither of these avenues has been pursued as of the date hereof. Our geologist has recommended an exploration program for our Gold Claim. However, even if the results of this work suggest further exploration work is warranted, we do not presently have the requisite funds and so will be unable to complete anything beyond the exploration work on Phase I until we raise more money or find a joint venture partner to complete the exploration work. If we cannot find a joint venture partner and do not raise more money, we will be unable to complete any work beyond the exploration program recommended by our geologist. If we are unable to finance additional exploration activities, we do not have alternative operational plans. We do not intend to hire any employees at this time. All of the work on our Gold Claim will be conducted by Mr. Cortez. He will be responsible for supervision, surveying, exploration, and excavation and will be capable of evaluating the information derived from the exploration and excavation including advising our company on the economic feasibility of removing any mineralized material we may discover.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance as an exploration corporation. We are an exploration stage company and have not generated any revenues from our exploration activities. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our exploration activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

To become profitable and competitive, we must invest in the exploration of our property before we start production of any minerals that we may find. Therefore, we must obtain equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to fully implement both phases of our exploration program. We have no assurance that financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to commence, continue, develop or expand our exploration activities. Even if available, equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholder.

Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015

Revenues

From our inception on July 26, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2015, we did not generate any revenues. As a mineral pre-exploration company, we anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and do not believe we will be able generate revenues during the next 12 months.

Expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, our total expenses were $6,500 compared to $13,182 during the three months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was due to the fact that we incurred $7,000 in additional professional fees during the prior year for the SEC registration process offset by an increase of $318 in general and administrative expenses for day-to-day operations.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, our total expenses were $31,806 compared to $34,507 during the nine months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease of $2,701 is due to lower professional fees of $6,950 due to additional costs incurred during the prior year offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $4,249 as the Company had more operating activity during the current year.

Net Loss

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $31,806 or $nil loss per share compared with $34,507 net loss and $nil loss per share during the period ended December 31, 2014.

Our Planned Exploration Program

We must conduct exploration to determine what, if any, amounts of minerals exist on our Gold Claim and if such minerals can be economically extracted and profitably processed.

Our planned exploration program is designed to efficiently explore and evaluate our property.

Our anticipated exploration costs for Phase I and Phase II work on our Gold Claim are approximately $19,319. We will have to raise additional funds within the next 12 months in order to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements and finance work on the Palayan Gold Claim.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2015, we had cash of $6,349 and mineral property acquisition costs of $5,000 relating to our interest in the Palayan Gold Claims in Colombia compared with cash of $7,655 and mineral property acquisition costs of $5,000 at March 31, 2015. The decrease in cash is due to the fact that we incurred operating expenditures during the year which was offset by cash received from financing activities.

During the period ended December 31, 2015, we did not have any capital transactions.

Cash Flows

Cash from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, we used net cash of $36,306 in operating activities compared to use of cash of $31,507 during the period ended December 31, 2014. The increase in the use of cash is related to day-to-day operating activities incurred during the current year compared to the prior year when transactions and operations were limited.

Cash from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not have any investing activities.

Cash from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, we received cash of $35,000 from the President and Director of the Company compared with $15,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2014.

Trends

We are in the pre-exploration stage, have not generated any revenue and have no prospects of generating any revenue in the foreseeable future. We are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our business or income, either in the long term of short term.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on our revenues and operating results has not been significant.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are presented in United States dollars and are prepared using the accrual method of accounting which conforms to US GAAP.

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

The financial statements as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 included herein, which have not been audited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods on a basis consistent with the annual audited statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full year. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated no revenues to date, and has an accumulated deficit of $68,651. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plan of action over the next twelve months is to raise capital financing to conduct exploration and drilling on its mineral property claims held in Nueva Ecija, Philippines as well as exploring for new mineral property claims.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We are required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

Mineral Properties

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with Codification topic 930 “Extractive Activities - Mining”. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. To date our company has not established any reserves on its mineral properties.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived assets, such as property and equipment, mineral properties, and purchased intangibles with finite lives (subject to amortization), are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Codification topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs. Our management has considered the conditions outlined in ASC 360 and determined that there were no impairment factors for the mineral property as at December 31, 2015.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Codification topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Current income tax expense (benefit) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (receivable) for the current year. A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax expense is generally the net change during the year in the deferred income tax asset and liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be “more likely than not” realized in future tax returns. Tax rate changes and changes in tax laws are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our financial position, future operations or cash flows.

None

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, both the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, were not effective as of December 31, 2015.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934) that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION

None.

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Those factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. In addition, risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
