TGS International Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2019 and 2018 (Unaudited) |
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
TGS International Ltd. (“TGS”, “the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada, United States on December 1, 2016. On September 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Arcus Mining Holdings Limited (“Arcus”) and Chi Kin Loo, Billion Plus Limited, First Fortune Investment Limited, Great Win Limited and Master Value Holdings Limited (the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Arcus, which was incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles on June 17, 2014, and its subsidiaries are engaged in fluorite mining operations in Mongolia, including the processing and sales of fluorite products. Up to September 30, 2019 and the date of this report, the Company owns three mining rights in Mongolia (Mining license numbers: MV-016819, MV-017305 and MV-009918). During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not commence regular mining operations due to the limitation of explosive factories trading to the public in Mongolia. Therefore, the Company has alternative arrangements of the manpower used for setting up the infrastructure at the mine sites in preparation for the exploratory work later so as to minimize the impact of insufficient explosives encountered in the period.
Reverse merger
On September 14, 2018, the Company and Arcus entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 14, 2018 with the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The merger closed on September 14, 2018 and resulted in the following:
Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, 6,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock were cancelled and retired. A further 30,000 shares were canceled after the Share Exchange.
As a result of the transactions described above, the Company became the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the share capital of Arcus and therefore owns 100% of the share capital of its subsidiaries.
As a result of the Share Exchange, the cancellation of 6,530,000 shares and the issuance of 7,000,000 shares, the Company has 14,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on September 14, 2018.
The transaction is accounted for as a “reverse acquisition”, with Arcus being treated as the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The historical consolidated financial statements include the operations of the accounting acquirer and its subsidiaries for all periods presented.
Basis of Presentation
These accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of TGS as of and for the period ended September 30, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred an operating loss of $1,455,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,595,404 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Since the Company is currently in the development and trial-production stage, it is still in the capital investing period. The Company’s business forecast indicates that the Company will have positive cash inflow after the commencement of formal production. Management believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its financing requirements based on the financial support of shareholders and upon their experience and their assessment of the Company’s projected performance, production ability and product market. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Recent changes in accounting standards
Recently Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends existing accounting standards for leases. The ASU requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. The criteria for evaluating are similar to those applied in current lease accounting.
The Company elected to transition to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 using the option to apply the standard on its effective date, January 1, 2019. The comparative periods presented reflect the former lease accounting guidance and the required comparative disclosures are included in Note 3, Leasing Arrangements. There was not a material cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning accumulated losses as a result of adopting ASC 842. We have recognized additional right-of-use assets of $369,874 and $229,125 as of January 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019 and lease liabilities of $369,874 and $238,176 as of January 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively. We elected not to reassess prior conclusions related to the identification, classification and accounting for initial direct costs for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019. For additional disclosure and detail, see Note 3, Leasing Arrangements.
Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Topic 326 will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, on a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted upon issuance of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. This Update states a private company (reporting entity) may elect not to apply VIE guidance to legal entities under common control (including common control leasing arrangements) if both the parent and the legal entity being evaluated for consolidation are not public business entities. This Update also states indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE. For the Company, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities are required to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in 2019.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 3 – LEASING ARRANGEMENT
The Company leases certain office and warehouse spaces under operating leases in Hong Kong and Mongolia. Operating lease assets and obligations are reflected within right-of-use asset, net, current lease liability, and non-current lease liability, respectively, on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The discount rate implicit within the leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for the leases is determined based on lease term and currency in which lease payments are made, adjusted for impacts of collateral. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019 was 11%.

NOTE 7 — CAPITAL STOCK
In the nine-months period ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued second subscription package (the “Second Subscription Package”) of up to $825,000, consisting of 330,000 common stock and 66,000 warrants exercisable at $3.00 to purchase common stock within three years from the respective issuance dates, to accredited subscribers. The Company also issued to the placement agent 33,000 common stock at a price of $3.70 per common stock for the services rendered (equivalent to $122,100). On May 15, 2019, the Company issued 88,018 common stock at a price of $3.29 per share to settle the loans from related persons of HK$2 million and interest expenses (equivalent to $289,578).
On August 30, 2019, a convertible bond agreement was entered into between the Company, a subsidiary of the Company, Arcus Mining Holdings Limited, and a third party investor. On September 29, 2019, the convertible bond was matured and was settled by issuing 34,722 common stock at a price of $3.70 per share representing loans of HK$1 million and interest expenses of HK$2,083, in total of HK$1,002,083 (equivalent to $128,471).

NOTE 8 — WARRANT EQUITY
On November 21, 2018 (“Issuance Date”), the Company issued a subscription package (the “Subscription Package”) of up to $52,500, consisting of 150,000 common stock and 50,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00 (the “Warrants”) to purchase common stock within three years from the Issuance Date, to accredited subscribers.
The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock. All of the Company’s outstanding warrants are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore classified as equity under ASC 480. The warrants, in specified situations, provide for certain compensation remedies to a holder if the Company fails to timely deliver the shares underlying the warrants in accordance with the warrant terms. The Company has no plans to consummate a fundamental transaction and does not believe a fundamental transaction is likely to occur during the remaining term of the outstanding warrants.
In the nine-months period ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued Second Subscription Package of up to $825,000, consisting of 330,000 common stock and 66,000 warrants exercisable at $3.00 to purchase common stock within three years from the respective issuance dates, to accredited subscribers.
The two investors in the first private placement, which was completed on November 21, 2018, forfeited their rights to exercise the 25,000 warrant at $1.00 due to their own accord.

Our unaudited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to the common stock in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” mean TGS International Ltd., a Nevada corporation, and our subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
General Overview
TGS International Ltd. was established on December 1, 2016 in Nevada, USA. On September 14, 2018, TGS International and Arcus entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 14, 2018, with Chi Kin Loo, Billion Plus Limited, First Fortune Investment Limited, Great Win Limited and Master Value Holdings Limited, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell all of their ordinary shares of Arcus to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock of TGS International Ltd.
We are a mining company focused on both fluorite mining operations in Mongolia (3 mines in total, Mining license numbers: MV-016819, MV-017305 and MV-009918) and sales of fluorite across Mongolia and China. During 2015 to 2017, we were setting up infrastructure at Mine B and appointed SRK Consulting China Limited for resource exploration for Mine A and Mine B. The trial production at Mine B started in 2018 and has been ongoing since that time.
Due to unexpected internal accidents, the only two explosive factories in Mongolia have been suspended from April until mid-August 2019. Although they have resumed operation then, they are still yet to start their trading activities with the public. We, therefore, have arranged the explosives to be used in infrastructure processes in preparation for the exploratory work later so as to minimize the impact on our work. Thus, there is no output in the third quarter of 2019.
We expect to put hold on the exploratory work at both Mine A and Mine B from late November 2019 to mid-March 2020, the winter break. Our strategic partners, HMMB LLC and Xin Guoji Company Limited, have promised to speed up the exploratory work so as to maximize the outputs before the winter break. Since there is a lack of explosive, we have requested the workers to work on setting up the infrastructure at our mines in preparation for the exploratory work later. Therefore, the related expenses have increased significantly in the third quarter of 2019. Some output is expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The strategic cooperation with Yantai Fulin Mining Machinery Co., Ltd regarding the construction of a refinery at Mine B has still been in progress since mid-April 2019 and is on target. We expect to get the construction completed before the winter break. In the meantime, the power supply upgrade at Mine B has been in progress simultaneously so as to support the use of the refinery once it can be put into use.
On August 30, 2019, a convertible bond agreement was entered into between the Company, a subsidiary of the Company, Arcus Mining Holdings Limited, and a third party investor. On September 29, 2019, the convertible bond was matured and was settled by issuing 34,722 common stock at a price of $3.70 representing loans of HK$1 million and interest expenses of HK$2,083, in total of HK$1,002,083 (equivalent to $128,471).
Subsequently, there were two convertible bond agreements entered into between the Company, a subsidiary of the Company, Arcus Mining Holdings Limited, and third party investors. On October 25, 2019, a convertible bond agreement was signed including a HK$2 million loan bearing interest of 2.5% per annum for one month. The convertible bond will be matured on November 27, 2019 with a conversion price of $3.60 per share. On November 4, 2019, a convertible bond agreement was signed including a HK$1 million loan bearing interest of 2.5% per annum for one month. The convertible bond will be matured on December 3, 2019 with a conversion price of $3.60 per share.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Sales
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we did not have sales revenue as our Company did not commence regular mining operations due to the delay in the application of working visas for the Chinese workers in the second quarter of 2019 and the limitation of explosive factories trading to the public in Mongolia in the third quarter of 2019. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, trial production was performed and sales revenue of $434,728 was generated.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales included raw material costs, mining overhead, including depreciation expenses and transportation. Additionally, cost of sales included product packaging cost, the cost of tooling and damages.
Our total cost of sales increased significantly from $278,556 for the first nine months in 2018 to $466,169, for the first nine months of 2019. The percentage of such increase was approximately 67% as a result of more infrastructure processes were carried out in preparation for the exploratory work later and the expansion of fluorspar production line.
For the three months ended September 30, the total cost of sales increased significantly from $141,065 in 2018 to $321,263 in 2019. The result of such increase is similar to the first nine months as discussed above.
Gross loss
Since the delay in the application of working visas for the Chinese workers and insufficient explosives for exploratory works due to the limitation of explosive factories trading to the public in Mongolia was taken place in the first nine months in 2019, no revenue was generated to cover our cost of sales, which resulted in a gross loss. For the first nine months in 2018, trial production was performed and some revenue was generated to cover our cost of sales which resulted gross profit in the period.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, consulting, audit, tax, legal, insurance, rent and utilities, and other general operating expenses.
Administrative expenses increased slightly from $885,533 for the first nine months in 2018 to $920,069 for the first nine months in 2019. The percentage of such increase was approximately 4% as a result of commission expenses related to private placement in 2019.
For the three months ended September 30, the total administrative expenses decreased from $354,027 in 2018 to $256,294 in 2019. The result of decrease was due to consultancy fee related to reverse merger in the three months ended September 2018, but no such expenses incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Other income
Other income decreased significantly from $77,133 for the first nine months in 2018 to $691 for the first nine months in 2019. The percentage of such reduction was approximately 99% as a result of a waiver of consultancy fee in the first nine months in 2018.
For the three months ended September 30, other income decreased from $48,369 in 2018 to $25 in 2019. The result of such decrease is similar to the first nine months as discussed above.
Interest expenses
Interest expenses mainly include related parties loans interest and lease interest.
Interest expenses significantly increased from $53,015 for the first nine months in 2018 to $69,530 for the first nine months in 2019. The increase was approximately 31% as a result of related parties loans of HK$4 million granted in May 2018 and the amount of lease payment representing interest.
For the three months ended September 30, the interest expenses decreased from $22,317 in 2018 to $19,086 in 2019. The percentage of such decrease was approximately 14% as a result of the partial repayment of related parties loans.

Net loss
As a result of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $1,455,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $705,243 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and a net loss of $596,618 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $34,312 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The net loss for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2019 is under our management expectation since our mine is still under trial production.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s cash was $126,955 and $98,121, respectively. There were no cash equivalents.
Our liquidity needs include (i) net cash used in operating activities that consists of (a) cash required to fund the mining sites operating activities and continued expansion of our mining sites and (b) our working capital needs, which include advanced payments for several mining supplies and repair and maintenance, payment of our operating expenses; and (ii) net cash used in investing activities that consists of the investments in purchasing new and additional property, plant and equipment for mining sites. To date, we have financed our liquidity needs primarily through advances from shareholders and the proceeds from issuance of common stock.
We expect to continue to make capital expenditures to keep pace with the expansion of the production and scale of operations of our mining sites, which we expect to fund in part with the proceeds of private placements of our securities in the future. We expect that the proceeds from the sale of our securities and our existing cash and cash equivalents will be used to fund working capital and for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, such as partnering arrangements, or reduction of debt obligations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able obtain financing, if at all or upon terms that will be acceptable to us.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities
Our net cash used in operating activities decreased to $541,245 for the first nine months of 2019 from $984,455 for the first nine months of 2018. This was mainly due to the net effect of the increase in net loss for the first nine months in 2019 compared to the first nine months in 2018, increase in other receivables of payment in advance to the infrastructure contractor and increase in other payables of temporary receipts regarding to the construction of the refinery during the period.
Net cash used in investing activities
Our net cash used in investing activities increased to $719,055 for the first nine months of 2019 from $101,301 for the first nine months of 2018. This was mainly due to acquisition of property, plant and equipment at mine site.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Our net cash provided by financing activities increased to $1,277,815 for the first nine months of 2019 from $1,096,659 for the first nine months of 2018. This was mainly the result of issuance of common stock and convertible bond in the first nine months of 2019.

Future Financings
We anticipate continuing rely on related party loans or equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. We believe this will enable us to meet our cash needs for the next 12 months. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Importantly, there is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing (whether from related parties or otherwise) to fund our planned business activities.
Except for the convertible bonds, we presently do not have any other arrangements or commitments for additional financing for the expansion of our operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.
Going Concern
The Company incurred an operating loss of $1,455,077 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,595,404. Notwithstanding the operating loss incurred for the period ended September 30, 2019, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Since the Company is currently in the development and trial-production stage, it is still in the capital investing period. The Company’s business forecast indicates that the Company will have positive cash inflow after the commencement of formal production. Management believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its financing requirements based on the financial support of stockholders and upon their experience and their assessment of the Company’s projected performance, production ability and product market.

Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of our Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, with the participation of our president and chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), will be conducted annually in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.
