NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | |
Trimol Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1953 in Delaware. Although the Company is seeking business opportunities, as of December 31, 2013, and for the past seven years, it did not have any operations other than administrative operations and did not have any business operations that generated revenue. | |
The Company owns all of the outstanding shares of Intercomsoft Limited (“Intercomsoft”), a company which, until April 2006, was engaged in the operation of a computerized photo identification and database management system utilized in the production of secure essential government identification documents such as passports, drivers’ licenses, national identification documents and other forms of essential personal government identification. As more detailed in Note 4, the Company is pursuing legal actions related to the prior operations of Intercomsoft. | |

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. However, the Company does not have any current operations that generate revenue and did not generate any revenue in year 2013 or in 2012, nor has it generated any revenue since April 2006. Further, as shown on the accompanying balance sheet, the Company has a shareholder’s deficiency of $7,229,000. These circumstances, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intercomsoft. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Revenue Recognition | |
Historically, revenue from Intercomsoft was recognized upon the quantity of product (number of computerized documents) produced during the period reported. However, Intercomsoft did not generate any revenue in year 2013 or in year 2012, nor has it generated revenue since April 2006. | |
Income Taxes | |
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. | |
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. | |
Income (Loss) Per Share | |
Income (loss) per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares and common stock equivalents outstanding. The Company had no common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods presented. | |
Fair Value Measurements | |
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. | |
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, payables to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. | |
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: | |
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable | |
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | |
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented. | |

NOTE 4 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS | |
In the normal course of business, the Company may become subject to lawsuits and other claims and proceedings. Such matters are subject to uncertainty and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations other than as follows: | |
The Swiss Proceeding | |
In March 2009, Intercomsoft commenced an action in the court of first instance in Geneva Switzerland for the appointment of an arbitration tribunal in connection with its claims against the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Moldova and the Government of the Republic of Moldova (the “Moldovan Defendants”) seeking damages for breach of contract and an injunction to prohibit Moldova from further producing essential government documents for the Republic of Moldova including passports, driver’s licenses, permits and national identification documents which Intercomsoft had produced from 1996 – 2006, pursuant to the terms of the ten year Supply Agreement (the “Swiss Proceeding”). The Swiss court granted Intercomsoft’s request to establish an ad hoc arbitration panel to hear the merits of its claims in such proceeding. Such action is pending and there can be no assurances as to its outcome. | |
The Moldovan Proceeding | |
In November 2010, the Moldovan Defendants commenced an action before the courts of Moldova claiming that the Supply Agreement was properly terminated on April 29, 2006 and seeking reimbursement of legal costs (the “Moldovan Proceeding”). Intercomsoft asserted a counterclaim seeking redress for various claims and damages, including interest and penalties which continue to accrue pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement. In July 2011, the District Court in Chisinau, Moldova issued a Judgment rejecting the Moldovan Defendants’ claim for reimbursement of legal costs as unfounded, and awarded approximately $35.6 million in damages to Intercomsoft. The Moldovan Defendants appealed the decision of the Moldovan District Court to the Economic Appeal Court in Chisinau, Moldova and in December 2011 the Appeal Court partially upheld the Judgment of the District Court, similarly rejecting the Moldovan Defendants’ claim, and reduced the damage award to Intercomsoft to approximately $20.75 million. The Moldovan Defendants further appealed the decision of the Appeal Court to the Supreme Court of Justice in Moldova. In September 2012, the Supreme Court of Justice partially upheld the judgment of the Economic Appeal Court rejecting the Moldovan Defendants’ claim and further reduced the damage award to Intercomsoft to approximately $4 million. The Moldovan Defendants further appealed such judgment and the reduced damage award and as a consequence of such appeal, the Supreme Court of Moldova annulled the $4 million damage award and remanded the case back to the Chamber of Appeal Chisinau for reexamination. A hearing before that court was scheduled for March 13, 2014, but has been adjourned. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of such legal action. | |

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $21,500,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) which begin to expire in 2026. The NOLs may be subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under regulations. | ||||||||
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. | ||||||||
The Company is currently open to audit for all years ended December 31, 2001 to present because of its large NOL carryforwards. However, The Company is only open to additional tax assessments under the Internal Revenue Code statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2010 to present; however, it does not currently have any ongoing tax examinations. | ||||||||
