CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING EXPLORATION STAGE STATUS
We are considered an “exploration stage” company under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7, Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations (“Industry Guide 7”), because we do not have reserves as defined under Industry Guide 7. Reserves are defined in Guide 7 as that part of a mineral deposit which can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The establishment of reserves under Guide 7 requires, among other things, certain spacing of exploratory drill holes to establish the required continuity of mineralization and the completion of a detailed cost or feasibility study.
Because we have no reserves as defined in Industry Guide 7, we have not exited the exploration stage and continue to report our financial information as an exploration stage entity as required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Although for purposes of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, we have exited the development stage and no longer report inception to date results of operations, cash flows and other financial information, we will remain an exploration stage company under Industry Guide 7 until such time as we demonstrate reserves in accordance with the criteria in Industry Guide 7.
Because we have no reserves, we have and will continue to expense all mine construction costs, even though these expenditures are expected to have a future economic benefit in excess of one year. We also expense our reclamation and remediation costs at the time the obligation is incurred. Companies that have reserves and have exited the exploration stage typically capitalize these costs, and subsequently amortize them on a units-of-production basis as reserves are mined, with the resulting depletion charge allocated to inventory, and then to cost of sales as the inventory is sold. As a result of these and other differences, our financial statements will not be comparable to the financial statements of mining companies that have established reserves and have exited the exploration stage.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements contains forward-looking statements that discuss, among other things, future expectations and projections regarding future developments, operations and financial conditions. All forward-looking statements are based on management’s existing beliefs about present and future events outside of management’s control and on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. If any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or intended

NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Business
Kibush Capital Corporation (formerly David Loren Corporation) (the “Company”) includes its 90% owned subsidiary Aqua Mining (PNG). See Basis of Presentation below. The Company has two primary businesses: (i) mining exploration within Aqua Mining, and (ii) timber operations in Papua New Guinea by Aqua Mining.
Basis of Presentation
The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, and all entities in which a direct or indirect controlling interest exists through voting rights or qualifying variable interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2016.
Change in Fiscal Year End
The Board of Directors of the Company approved on September 14, 2014, a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30 of each year.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,382,969 and $12,288,586 as of September 30, 2016, and has not earned sufficient revenues to cover operating costs since inception and has a working capital deficit. The Company intends to fund its mining exploration through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year.
The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue mining exploration and execution of its business plan. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Functional and Reporting Currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of Aqua Mining is the Papua New Guinean kina. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate on the respective balance sheet dates. Items in the income statement and cash flow statement are translated into U.S. Dollars using the average rates of exchange for the periods involved. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income/(loss) within stockholders’ equity.
The functional currency of foreign entities is generally the local currency unless the primary economic environment requires the use of another currency. Gains or losses arising from the translation or settlement of foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities into the functional currency are recognized in the income in the period in which they arise. However, currency differences on intercompany loans that have the nature of a permanent investment are accounted for as translation differences as a separate component of other comprehensive income/(loss) within stockholders’ equity.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the principal accounting policies are set out below:
Cash
The Company maintains its cash balances in interest and non-interest bearing accounts which do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kibush Capital and Aqua Mining. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Other Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Translation
FASB ASC 220-10-05, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statements in order to conform the presentation to the statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2014.
On June 10, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915) – Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity (DSE) in its entirety from current accounting guidance. The Company has elected early adoption of this new standard.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 period. Significant estimates made by management are, recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, valuation of derivative liabilities, and valuation of common stock, options, warrants and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Non-Controlling Interests
Investments in associated companies over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the consolidation method, after appropriate adjustments for intercompany profits and dividends.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” It requires an acquirer to recognize, at the acquisition date, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their full fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages (step acquisitions), the acquirer will be required to re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss in earnings. The acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will no longer be included as part of the capitalized cost of the acquired entity but will be required to be accounted for separately in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles. U.S. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
A non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity that is reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the Company’s equity. In addition, net income/(loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is reported separately from net income attributable to the Company in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s consolidated statements present the full amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of all of our consolidated subsidiaries, with a partially offsetting amount shown in non-controlling interests for the portion of these assets and liabilities that are not controlled by us.
For our investments in affiliated entities that are included in the consolidation, the excess cost over underlying fair value of net assets is referred to as goodwill and reported separately as “Goodwill” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill may only arise where consideration has been paid.
-8-
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Plant Equipment 2 to 15 years
Computer and software 1 to 2 years
Office equipment 3 to 10 years
Building improvements 20 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-5, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. The Company uses its best judgment based on the current facts and circumstances relating to its business when determining whether any significant impairment factors exist. The Company considers the following factors or conditions, among others, that could indicate the need for an impairment review:
● Significant under performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
● Significant changes in its strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets;
● Significant negative industry or economic trends, including legal factors;
If the Company determines that the carrying values of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company’s management performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. If impairment exists, the Company measures the impairment based on the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its fair value, and the impairment is charged to operations in the period in which the long-lived asset impairment is determined by management.
The carrying value of the Company’s investment in Joint Venture contract with leaseholders of certain Mining Leases in Papua New Guinea represents its ownership, accounted for under the equity method. The ownership interest is not adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis. Each reporting period the Company assesses the fair value of the Company’s ownership interest in Joint Venture in accordance with FASB ASC 325-20-35. Each year the Company conducts an impairment analysis in accordance with the provisions within FASB ASC 320-10-35 paragraphs 25 through 32.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable approximates its fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments
Beneficial Conversion Features of Debentures
In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the day the loan is made to us. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of debentures and related accruing interest is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-10”). Derivatives within the scope of ASC 815-10 must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. During the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued convertible debt and recorded derivative liabilities related to a reset provision associated with the embedded conversion feature of the convertible debt. The Company computed the fair value of these derivative liabilities on the grant date and various measurement dates using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Due to the reset provisions within the embedded conversion feature, the Company determined that the Black-Scholes pricing model was the most appropriate for valuing these instruments.
-9-
In applying the Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company used the following assumptions during the period ended December 31, 2016:
For the year
ended December 31, 2016
Annual dividend yield -
Expected life (years) 0.50 – 1.00
Risk-free interest rate 0.03% — 0.13%
Expected volatility 210.12. % — 400.48%
The inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
Level 1 — Valuation based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. Currently, the Company does not have any items as Level 1.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Currently, the Company does not have any items classified as Level 2.
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing models to determine the fair value of the instruments.
The following table presents the Company’s embedded conversion features of its convertible debt measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016, and as of September 30, 2016:

The Company re-measures the fair values of all its derivative liabilities as of each period end and records the net aggregate gain/loss due to the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities as a component of other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During the years ended September 30, 2016 and the 3 months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a net increase (decrease) to the fair value of derivative liabilities balance of $ (55,344) and $ (7,525), respectively.
Loss per Share
The Company applies FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common shares available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, except for periods for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases (temporary differences). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances for deferred tax assets are established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Mineral Property, Mineral Rights (Claims) Payments and Exploration Costs
Pursuant to EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets and Related Issues”, the Company has an accounting policy to capitalize the direct costs to acquire or lease mineral properties and mineral rights as tangible assets. The direct costs include the costs of signature (lease) bonuses, options to purchase or lease properties, and brokers’ and legal fees. If the acquired mineral rights relate to unproven properties, the Company does not amortize the capitalized mineral costs, but evaluates the capitalized mineral costs periodically for impairment. The Company expenses all costs related to the exploration of mineral claims in which it had secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves.
Accounting Treatment of Mining Interests
At this time, the Company does not directly own or directly lease mining properties. However, the Company does have contractual rights and governmental permits which allow the Company to conduct mining exploration on the properties referenced in this report. These contractual relationships, coupled with the government permits issued to the Company (or a subsidiary), are substantially similar in nature to a mining lease. Therefore, we have treated these contracts as lease agreements from an accounting prospective.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. The Company incurred no research and development costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New accounting standards
Development State Entities. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-10 – Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASU 2014-10”). The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. For other entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.
Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915.
The Company has early adopted ASU 2014-10 commencing with its financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014 and subsequent periods.
Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) which provides guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve that core principle, an entity would be required to apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, FASB has delayed the revenue recognition effective date by one year December 31, 2017.
Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant changes. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether it will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption.
Company management do not believe that the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The action was commenced by the Company on September 12, 2016, in the Supreme Court of Victoria (Australia) as Case No. S ECI 2016 01205, In the matter of Angel Jade Pty Ltd (ACN 146 720 578). The Principal parties are Kibush Capital, Angel Jade, New Century, 4K Nominees and Alexander King.
In September 2014 Angel Jade was owned 50% by the King and 50% by Five Arrows. Alexander King and Warren Sheppard were the sole directors. In October of 2014, Five Arrows transferred its shares in Angel Jade to the Company. On October 8, 2014, Angel Jade issued an additional 1% of its shares to Kibush resulting in Angel Jade being held 49% by King (90,000,000 shares) and 51% by Kibush Capital (93,673,470 shares). On November 6, 2014, King agreed to sell Kibush Capital 18,367,350 shares in Angel Jade for the sum of $100,000 of which King has been paid $25,000, resulting in the shares in Angel Jade being held by King 71,632,650, and by Kibush Capital 112,040,720. The agreement is recorded in a document headed ‘Share Purchase Form’ dated November 6, 2014. On 6 November 2014 Angel Jade agreed to issue 45,918,375 shares to Kibush Capital for the price of $250,000 of which Kibush Capital has paid $67,358.19, resulting in the shares in Angel Jade being held by King 71,632,650, and by Kibush Capital 157,959,195. The transaction is recorded in the Minutes of a Meeting of Directors of Angel Jade signed by King dated November 6, 2014. On or about November 12, 2015 the shareholding in Angel Jade was adjusted to 71,632,650 shares held by King (30%), and 157,959,195 shares held by Kibush Capital (70%), total issued number of shares in Angel Jade 229,591,845).
On or about May 5, 2016 and without his knowledge or consent, Warren Sheppard was removed as a director of Angel Jade. On or about May 5, 2016 and without the knowledge or consent of Warren Sheppard or Kibush Capital, the issued and outstanding shares in Angel Jade was reduced to 200,001,000. On or about May 5, 2016 and without the knowledge or consent of Kibush Capital or Warren Sheppard, the shareholder records of Angel Jade were altered to show ownership of Angel Jade as follows:
● New Century 90,000,000 shares;
● 4K Nominees 90,000,000 shares;
● Five Arrows 500 shares;
● Fourth Defendant 20,000,000 shares, and
● King holding 500 shares.
The Company claims that King’s alteration of the directors and ownership of Angel Jade was oppressive to, unfairly prejudicial to, or unfairly discriminatory against Kibush Capital contrary to section 232 of the Corporations Act 2010. The Company is seeking a declaration that the Kibush Capital is entitled to 70% of the issued shares of the First Defendant; or in the alternative, a declaration that Kibush Capital is entitled to 51% of the issued shares of Angel Jade; damages equal to the $67,358.19 paid to Angel Jade and damages of the $ paid to King. However, there remains a possibility that the litigation may be settled prior to adjudication by the Court.
As a result of the removal of the Company as an owner of Angel Jade, the Company has written off Angel Jade and removed it from the financial statements. The Company has also restated its 2015 fiscal year financial data with regard to Angel Jade.
The Company settled this litigation on February 10, 2016, as disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filed on February 14, 2016.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 10, 2016, the Company settled its litigation with Alexander King, et al. regarding Angel Jade in exchange for a cash payment of $175,000 AUS (Appox. $134,000 US) as disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filed on February 14, 2016. On March 15, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of its common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 975,000,000 shares, pursuant to the vote of our board of directors and the written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the voting power of the Company.

Overview
Kibush Capital Corp. (the “Company”, “We”, or “Us”) is an exploration stage company as defined by the Security and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 as the Company has no established reserves as required under the Industry Guide 7. The Company is undertaking mineral exploration activities in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Our business is currently comprised our subsidiary Aqua Mining. Our Aqua Mining subsidiary is active in timber processing and mineral exploration in Papua New Guinea.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2015
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $16,037 in revenue. We recognized $46,327 revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in revenue is attributable to starting the new facility in Rigo and closing down the operations at Brown River. We anticipate revenue will increase in the March Quarter as operations will start to be normalized. Our ability to generate income in the future will greatly depend on the success of our timber operations and mineral exploration activities.
We had a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2016, of $94,383 and a net loss of $398,919 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was less than the loss which occurred during the same quarter in 2015, primarily due to closing down the operations at Brown River. However, our general and administrative expenses did decrease by $116,523 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the Quarter December 31st 2015.
We will need additional capital to expand operations and anticipate seeking both debt and equity capital in 2017. Additionally, as our exploration activities are in their infancy and since such activity may be speculative in nature, it is difficult to predict our ability to generate sufficient revenue to generate positive cash flows. Currently our biggest expenses are related to general and administrative costs are Wages for Personnel. We anticipate these expenses will remain constant during 2016; however, that could change based upon market conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had only $301 cash or cash equivalents on hand. However, as of that date, we had total current assets of $29,332 and total current liabilities of $1,756,627 resulting in a working capital deficit of $1,727,295. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had total current assets of $42,145 and total current liabilities of $1,394,187 resulting in a working capital deficit of $1,352,042. The increase in working capital arose mainly due to our acquisition of 49% of Aqua Mining Ltd Pty on in May of 2014, and our subsequent increase in ownership to approximately 90% of Aqua Mining. The Company intends to fund its exploration through the sale of its equity securities. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful doing so. We do not currently have any other agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. We currently believe that the Company will need approximately $2,000,000 over the next 12 months to cover our planned mining exploration.
Factors Affecting Future Mineral Exploration Results
We have generated no revenues from mining exploration, since inception. As a result, we have only a limited history upon which to evaluate our future potential performance. Our potential must be considered by evaluation of all risks and difficulties encountered by exploration companies which have not yet established business operations and anticipated results and situations of entering active exploration activities.
The price of gold and silver had experienced an increase in value over a five-year period. Beginning in April 2013, the price of gold and silver has experienced a downward swing. A significant permanent drop in the price of gold, silver or other precious metals may have a materially adverse effect on the future results of potential exploration activities of the Company. The costs associated with the recovery of precious metals may also cause a material adverse effect on the financial success of the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no Off-Balance Sheet arrangements during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the lack of a functioning audit committee, the lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions, and the lack of multiple directors on our board of directors may result 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 and/or reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
During the period ended December 31, 2016, we were in litigation with Alexander King (“King”) and other defendants regarding the Company’s ownership of Angel Jade.
