SUSTAINABLE PETROLEUM GROUP INC.
(Formerly known as BLUE SPA INCORPORATED)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2017
1. | Organization and Nature of Operations |
Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on September 4, 2009 as Blue Spa Incorporated which was engaged in the development of an internet based retailer of a multi-channel concept combining a wholesale distribution with a retail strategy relating to the quality personal care products, fitness apparel and related accessories. On December 19, 2016, the Company amended its name from “Blue Spa Incorporated” to “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” On September 6, 2017, the Company obtained a majority vote from its shareholders to amend the Company’s name from “Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc.” to “Sustainable Projects Group Inc.” to better reflect the business it has undertaken. The name change will be effected by the beginning of October 2017.
The Company is engaged in the business of natural resource development and holdings through value based investments and collaborative partnerships with companies across the natural resources sector. It is continually evaluating and acquiring assets for holding and or development. The Company initiated its goals by pursuing investment and partnerships amongst diversified holdings and companies globally.
2. | Going Concern |
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or “GAAP”, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has limited operations and has sustained operating losses resulting in a deficit. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.
The Company has accumulated a deficit of $1,199,788 since inception September 4, 2009, has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company believes that the cash on hand will be able to meet its on-going costs 12 months from the date of the financial statements. The Company may seek additional equity as necessary and it expects to raise funds through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand the range of its business. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.
3. | Interim reporting and significant accounting policies |
While the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, result of operation and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that the interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s May 31, 2017 annual financial statements. Operating results for the three months period ended August 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended May 31, 2018.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2017
There have been no changes in the accounting policies from those disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2017.
Equity investments
Investments where the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise control over these investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recorded at cost. The Company’s allocation of the entities’ profits or losses is recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Where the Company’s share of losses on its investments equal or exceed the carrying amount of the investments, the Company would then only recognize further losses if it incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the equity investments. The Company’s equity investments are reduced by any distributions received and may increase for any additional investments made.
Foreign currency translations
The Company maintains an office in Naples, Florida. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar, which is also its reporting currency, all figures presented unless otherwise indicated are stated in U.S. Dollar. At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into U.S. dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured by using the exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.
During the period the Company entered into a transaction whereby it acquired a lease deposit denominated in Swiss Francs, as denoted by “CHF” (see Note 7).
4. | Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
5. | Note receivables |
On June 28, 2017, the Company entered into a note receivable with a company with a common director of the Company in the amount of $200,000 with an interest rate of 3.5% per annum that is payable annually. Any unpaid annual interest shall be added to the principal of the loan and together will become the new amount used to calculate the amount of interest going forward. The note receivable, together with any accrued interest outstanding, is due March 15, 2022.
As of August 31, 2017, the balance and interest owing was $201,227.
Date | Principal | Interest | Total | |||||||||
June 28, 2017 | $ | 200,000 | $ | 1,227 | $ | 201,227 |
6. | Investments |
As of July 6, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 20% ownership of SPG (Europe) AG by purchasing 2,000 shares of SP Group (Europe) AG from a shareholder of SP Group (Europe) AG, in exchange for the issuance of 6,000 common shares of the Company at a value of $3.50 per share. In accordance to the Dividend Agreement signed by the parties, the Company is to receive 20% of the declared dividends. The Company share a common director, common management and a majority shareholder with SP Group (Europe) AG. As a result, it was determined that the Company would ordinarily have significant influence; however, the investee lacks the financial information that the Company, and any other shareholder, would need to apply the equity method of accounting. The Company has attempted and failed to obtain that information and accordingly concluded it appropriate to account for the investment using the cost method at this time.

SPGX is currently evaluating other projects such as gold mining and mineral exploration interests in Mongolia. Other projects of interest that management is currently researching are in the field of energy technology and sustainability. Currently, SPGX is evaluating the following projects:
1. Thunder Bay Claims - Work Program.
By the end of the 3rd quarter (February 2018) management plans to complete a two 2,000 meter diamond drill programs on the Thunder Bay Claims at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. The two programs will require approximately 80 days to complete.

The second drill program will be conducted on gold-mineralized zones on the Thunder Bay claims, which have been identified from previous and historic work. See ‘Item 1.b - Business of SPGX’ for more details on the proposed work program.
Form 10-Q – Q1 | Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc. | Page 17 |
2. Alimex GmbH - Collaborative Partnership
On June 28, 2017, SPGX loaned Alimex GmbH $200,000 with a per annum interest rate of 3.5%. Alimex GmbH is a global producer of high-precision aluminium cast plates. In 2017 SPGX plans to negotiate and enter into a collaborative partnership to work with Alimex to finance their structural and organic growth to position Alimex as the world leader in their sector.
3. Oil & Gas Projects - Arundel AG
During the next 12 months SPGX will continue to seek opportunities to fund and invest in projects in the oil & gas sector. Currently, SPGX has been negotiating with Arundel AG, a Swiss investment company whose shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, to fund and invest in projects in the oil & gas sector. SPGX is currently negotiating terms.
4. Consulting Services - Amixca AG
SPGX plans to continue to provide consulting services throughout the next 12 months, in addition to the consulting services it is currently providing SP Group (Europe) AG. On July 18th, 2017 SPGX paid a refundable deposit of $190,000 in order to perform due diligence on Amixca AG’s records. Amixca AG is a private Swiss corporation whose business is consulting. Management is in the process of completing its due diligence on Amixca AG.
5. Myfactor.io AG
On July 26, 2017, SPGX paid a refundable deposit of $83,496 (70,000 Euro) in order to perform due diligence on the entities records of Myfactor.io AG. Myfactor.io AG is a company incorporated in Liechtenstein. The company holds a bond and its purpose is the acquisition and exploitation various interests from real estate, patents and other industrial property rights. Management is in the process of completing its due diligence on Myfactor.io AG.
In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:
● | Management anticipates spending approximately $2,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $24,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to SPGX’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, development costs and general office expenses. | |
● | Management anticipates spending approximately $16,000 in complying with SPGX’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of SPGX’s financial statements and completing and filing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC. |
As at August 31, 2017, SPGX had cash of $68,159 and total liabilities of $56,093. Accordingly, SPGX will require additional financing in the amount of $27,934 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.
During the 12 month period following the date of this report, management anticipates that SPGX will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, SPGX will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding SPGX’s plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of SPGX’s common stock. However, SPGX does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, SPGX will not be able to develop its products and its business plan will fail. Even if SPGX is successful in obtaining equity financing and developing its products, additional development of its website and marketing program will be required. If SPGX does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Three Month Period Ended August 31, 2017
At August 31, 2017, SPGX had a cash balance of $68,159 and a working capital surplus of $1,131,552 for the three month period ended August 31, 2017, compared to a cash balance of $161,096 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $213,788 for the fiscal period ended May 31, 2017.
The notes to SPGX’s unaudited interim financial statements as of August 31, 2017, disclose its uncertain ability to continue as a going concern. SPGX has not and does not expect to generate any revenues to cover its expenses while it is in the development stage and as a result SPGX has accumulated a deficit of $1,199,788 since inception. As of August 31, 2017, SPGX had $56,093 in current liabilities compared to $381,801 for the time period ended May 31, 2017. When its current liabilities are offset against its current assets of $1,187,645 SPGX is left with a working capital of $1,131,552.
While SPGX has successfully generated sufficient working capital through the sale of common stock and management believes that SPGX can continue to do so for the next year, there are no assurances that SPGX will succeed in generating sufficient working capital through the sale of common stock to meet its ongoing cash needs.
Net Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities. Net cash flows from operating activities during the three month period ended August 31, 2017 was a net cash used in operations of $324,766, which was primarily due to a net loss of $869,406 and non-cash items consisting of a loss on acquisition of deposit of $779,278, amortization of $583, shares for debt and shares for services of $2,730 and $56,000, respectively, changes in current assets and liabilities consisting of an increase in prepaid expenses of $269,620, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8,812, increase in amount due to director of $708, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $15; compared to a net loss of $19,732 for the same time period for the prior fiscal period, which was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $12,416 and an increase in interest payable of $3,249, resulting in net cash used in operation activities of $4,067.
Net Cash Flows From Investing Activities. SPGX’s net cash flow from investing activities during the three month period ended August 31, 2017 was $1,817,334, which was primarily due to an advance of a note receivable in the amount of $200,000, shares issued for the lease deposit of $1,400,000, and shares issued for debt settlement of $305,334, as compared to $nil for the same time period for the prior fiscal period.
Net Cash Flows From Financing Activities. SPGX’s net cash flow from financing activities during the three month period ended August 31, 2017 was $431,829 which was due to subscription proceeds, compared to $26,000 for the same time period for the prior fiscal period.

Three Month Period Ended August 31, 2017
Net Loss. During the three month period ended August 31, 2017, SPGX had a net loss of $869,406 or $(0.100) per share. The loss was primarily due to a loss on acquisition of the lease deposit, administrative and other operating expenses, management fees, and professional fees, compared to the same time period for the prior fiscal period, when SPGX had a net loss of $19,732 or $ (0.003) per share, which was primarily due to administrative and other operating expenses and interest expenses.
Revenue. During the three month period ended August 31, 2017, SPGX had revenues of $16,227. The revenue was primarily due to consulting fees and interest income, compared to the same time period for the prior fiscal period, when SPGX had no operating revenues. SPGX’s activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and debt financing.
Operating Expenses. SPGX’s operating expenses during the three month period ended August 31, 2017 were $882,906, which were primarily due to $779,278 in a loss on acquisition of the lease deposit, $65,518 in management fees, $18,627 in administrative and other operating expenses, and $17,900 in professional fees, compared to the same time period for the prior fiscal period, which SPGX’s operating expenses were$16,483,which were due to $13,779 in professional fees, and $2,704 in administrative and other operating expenses.
Going Concern
SPGX has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive business activities. For these reasons the financial statements have been prepared assuming SPGX will continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
Management anticipates continuing to rely on equity sales of SPGX’s common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional common stock will result in dilution to SPGX’s existing stockholders. There is no assurance that SPGX will achieve any additional sales of its common stock or arrange for debt or other financing to fund its planned activities.
Form 10-Q – Q1 | Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc. | Page 20 |
Inflation
Management does not believe that inflation will have a material impact on SPGX’s future operations.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
SPGX has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Contingencies and Commitments
SPGX had no contingencies or long-term commitments at August 31, 2017.
Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
SPGX is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Critical Accounting Policies
SPGX’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of SPGX’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of SPGX’s financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
SPGX maintains an office in Naples, Florida. The functional currency of SPGX is the U.S. Dollar. At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into U.S. dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured by using the exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.
Website Development Costs
SPGX recognized the costs associated with developing a website in accordance with ASC 350-50 “Website Development Cost” that codified the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) NO. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”. Relating to website development costs SPGX follows the guidance pursuant to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) NO. 00-2, “Accounting for Website Development Costs”. The website development costs are divided into three stages, planning, development and production. The development stage can further be classified as application and infrastructure development, graphics development and content development. In short, website development cost for internal use should be capitalized except content input and data conversion costs in content development stage.
Form 10-Q – Q1 | Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc. | Page 21 |
Costs associated with the website consist primarily of website development costs paid to third party. These capitalized costs will be amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years upon the website becoming operational. Internal costs related to the development of website content will be charged to operations as incurred. Web-site development costs related to the customers are charged to cost of sales.
Revenue Recognition
SPGX recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605-10 “Revenue Recognition” which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred; 3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Financial Instruments
SPGX’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and some notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature or the underlying terms are consistent with market terms. It is the management’s opinion that SPGX is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Mineral Property Costs
All costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral and property rights are capitalized upon acquisition. To determine if the capitalized mineral property costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, SPGX shall conduct periodic evaluation of the carrying value of the capitalized costs based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance to ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”. Exploration and pre-extraction expenditures shall be expensed until such time SPGX exits the exploration stage by establishing proven or probable reserves. Expenditures relating to exploration activities such as drill programs to search for mineralized materials shall be expensed as incurred. Expenditures relating to pre-extraction activities such as construction of mine, well fields, ion exchange facilities and disposal wells shall be expensed as incurred until such time proven or probable reserves are established for a particular project, after which subsequent expenditures relating to mine development activities for the particular project shall be capitalized as incurred.
Fair Value Measurements
SPGX follows the guidelines in ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, SPGX considers the principal or most advantageous market in which SPGX would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
SPGX applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 — | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2 — | Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
Level 3 — | Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. |
Form 10-Q – Q1 | Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc. | Page 22 |
Concentration of Credit Risk
SPGX places its cash and cash equivalents with a high credit quality financial institution. SPGX maintains United States Dollars. SPGX minimizes its credit risks associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution.
Income Taxes
SPGX follows the guideline under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Since SPGX is in the exploration stage and has losses, no deferred tax asset or income taxes have been recorded in the financial statements.
SPGX has identified its federal tax return and its state tax returns in Nevada as its major tax jurisdictions, and such returns remain subject to examination. Subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2017, SPGX recently filed a registration in the State of Florida, and shall be subject to state tax return in Florida as well.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
SPGX is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in SPGX’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including SPGX’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of August 31, 2017.
Based on that evaluation, management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In particular, SPGX failed to complete and file its assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting in a timely manner for the period ended August 31, 2017. As a result, SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective since then and, as a result, were not effective for the period covered by this report.
Form 10-Q – Q1 | Sustainable Petroleum Group Inc. | Page 23 |
Subsequently, management has adopted policy to utilize external service providers to review and provide comment on disclosure reports and statements. As a result of the implementation of this policy, management believes that SPGX’s disclosure controls and procedures will now be effective.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there were no changes in SPGX’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2017, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, SPGX’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of management’s last evaluation. However, as a result of management’s completion of the assessment of SPGX’s internal controls over financial reporting, certain changes have been made, as discussed above, that will materially affect Pioneer’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that SPGX’s controls and procedures will prevent all potential error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Part II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
SPGX is not a party to any pending legal proceedings and, to the best of management’s knowledge, none of SPGX’s property or assets are the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
