NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Verde Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “VRDR”) was incorporated on April 22, 2010, in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.

Gold Billion Global Limited (“Gold Billion” or “GBL”) was incorporated in British Virgin Islands on February 7, 2013. GBL was setup by the Board of Directors of Federal Mining Resources Limited (“FMR”). The major operation of GBL is to manage and monitor the mineral exploration and mining projects of FMR.

On July 1, 2013, FMR has assigned its rights and obligation on Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) to GBL. Four of the five members of CSB Board of Directors were appointed by FMR, with two of the GBL Board of Directors currently sitting on the CSB Board. According to ASC 810-05-08 A, CSB is a deemed subsidiary of GBL where it has controlled the CSB Board of Directors, has assigned rights to receive future benefits and residual value, and obligation to absorb loss and finance for CSB by GBL. GBL has the power to direct the activities of CSB that most significantly impact CSB’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of CSB that could potentially be significant to the CSB or the right to receive benefits from CSB that could potentially be significant to CSB. GBL is the primary beneficiary of CSB because it has been assigned with all relevant rights and obligation and can direct the activities of CSB through the common directors and the 85% shareholder, FMR. Under 810-23-42, 43, it is determined that CSB is de-facto agent of GBL and GBL is the de-facto principal of CSB. GBL started to consolidate CSB from July 1, 2013 and the Company consolidated GBL and CSB from October 25, 2013 onwards.

On February 17, 2014, the Company entered into a Supplementary Agreement to the Assignment Agreement and completed an acquisition of GBL pursuant to the Supplementary Agreement. The acquisition was a reverse acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-40 “Reverse Acquisitions”. The legal parent was VRDR which was the accounting acquiree while GBL was the accounting acquirer. There was a 15% non-controlling interest of Champmark SDN BHD (“CSB”) after the acquisition. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein GBL with its 85% deemed subsidiary CSB was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company holds 100% equity interest in GBL and 85% variable interest in CSB. Our consolidated subsidiaries include GBL being our wholly-owned subsidiary and 85% of CSB being a variable interest entity (VIE) and deemed subsidiary of GBL.

The Sub-Contract Agreement is for a period of 5 years with a renewal for another 5 years subject to review by both parties. BOG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Borneo Oil Berhad (BOB) which is listed on the main market of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. BOG being a local company in Malaysia provides the Company with the advantage of local knowledge and well-established connection in dealing with the relevant local authorities in our mining operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars ($). Financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These condensed consolidated audited financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Verde Resources, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary Gold Billion Global Limited (“GBL”) and the 85% of the deemed subsidiary variable interest of Champmark SDN BHD (“CSB”). All inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiary and variable interest entity (VIE) have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 810-10-5-8, “Variable Interest Entities”, which requires a variable interest entity or VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.

Variable Interest Entity

On July 1, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, GBL entered into a series of agreements (“VIE agreements”) with FMR and details of the VIE agreements are as follows :

With the above agreements, GBL demonstrates its ability to control CSB as the primary beneficiary and the operating results of the VIE was included in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On April 1, 2014, the Board of Director of GBL notified FMR upon the decision to exercise the right of option to purchase 85% equity interest of CSB under Management Agreement Section 3.2.4 dated July 1, 2013 between GBL and FMR. This acquisition was completed on April 1, 2014 with consideration of US$1. GBL then became 85% shareholder of CSB and is required to consolidate CSB as a subsidiary.

On June 18, 2021, GBL entered into a Shares Sale Agreement to acquire the remaining 15% of the issued and paid-up share capital of CSB. GBL would own the entire issued and paid-up share capital of CSB upon completion of the acquisition.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the Company’s business, and adversely impact its results of operations. The Company expects uncertainties around its key accounting estimates to continue to evolve depending on the duration and degree of impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Its estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in its consolidated financial statements.

Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $1,176,729 and $2,117,622 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The straight-line depreciation method is used to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets with a 5% estimated residual values, as follows:

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterment which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income in other income or expenses.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. At December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts, as per management’s judgment based on their best knowledge. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the longest credit term for certain customers are 60 days.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables and reviews accounts receivable by amounts due by customers which are past due to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the reserve, the Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on past collection experience and ongoing credit risk evaluations. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Fair Value

ASC Topic 820”Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.

These tiers include:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, payables, and short term and long term debt. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, and payables approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of long term debt approximates the fair value of debt of similar terms and remaining maturities available to the company.

The Company’s non-financial assets are measured on a recurring basis. These non-financial assets are measured for impairment annually on the Company’s measurement date at the reporting unit level using Level 3 inputs. For most assets, ASC 820 requires that the impact of changes resulting from its application be applied prospectively in the year in which the statement is initially applied.

The Company’s non-financial assets measured on a non-recurring basis include the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite-use intangible assets which are measured for recoverability when indicators for impairment are present. ASC 820 requires companies to disclose assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis in the period in which the re-measurement at fair value is performed.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU assets”) assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.

ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.

The Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

The operating lease is included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities-current and operating lease liabilities-non-current in the

consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership to the lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a finance lease, we as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to us, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with our depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to us. The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar (“$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in United States dollars. The Company’s functional currency is the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted.

In accordance with ASC Topic 830”Translation of Financial Statements”, capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from MYR at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the respective year. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Translation of amounts from RM into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights are based on estimated fair values. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based awards at fair value in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation changes.

Related Party

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

Non-controlling Interest

The Company’s non-controlling interest represents the minority shareholder’s ownership interest related to the Company’s subsidiary, CSB. The Company reports its non-controlling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reports both net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest and net loss attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s equity interest in CSB is 85.0% and the non-controlling stockholder’s interest is 15%. This is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Equity.

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs

The Company has been primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. The Company was no longer considered an exploration stage company after the reverse take-over with its subsidiary GBL.

Mineral property acquisition and 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. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

Environmental Expenditures

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

 Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identifies contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenues when (or as) it satisfies the performance obligation.

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Gold mining

The Company derives revenues primarily from the sales of gold mineral or other minerals to registered gold trading companies or other customers in Malaysia. The Company generally recognizes its revenues in accordance with the following core principles: at the time of gold or minerals sales, the contract with customers and the performance obligations are identified. The transaction and selling price is determined by the prevailing market value of gold bullion quoted by the leading registered gold trading company in Malaysia or at an agreed price. Sales invoice will be prepared to reflect the proper transaction price based on the performance obligation allocation. After delivery is completed and the performance obligation is satisfied, sales invoice will be presented to the customers and so revenue is then recognized accordingly.

Product sales

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.

Revenues from product sales are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with the Company’s customers.

Product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, are generally characterized in the following categories: discounts, returns and rebates. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable as the amount is payable to the Company’s customer.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740,”Accounting for Income Taxes”(“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740. ASU 2019-12 was effective July 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by eliminating the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, convertible debt proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature that is not clearly and closely related to the host contract, will no longer be allocated between debt and equity components. This modification will reduce the issue discount and result in less non-cash interest expense in financial statements. ASU 2020-06 also updates the earnings per share calculation and requires entities to assume share settlement when the convertible debt can be settled in cash or shares. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the type of contracts primarily affected by ASU 2020-06 are freestanding and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance due to a failure to meet the settlement assessment by removing the requirements to (i) consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (ii) consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and (iii) assess shareholder rights. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and only if adopted as of the beginning of such fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective July 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 is to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss was measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 requires only a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (not to exceed the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). Adoption of the ASUs is on a modified retrospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, the standard will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
