ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
General
Asian Dragon was established to develop projects which focus on China’s growing precious and base metals reserves and markets.
Investors should be aware there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of the properties for which we are purchasing exploration licenses, and that further exploration
The Company is currently evaluating new opportunities and plans to develop a new strategic plan based in the mineral exploration industry.
Background
Asian Dragon Group Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on June 11, 2003 and on August 10, 2006 filed Articles of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name to Asian Dragon Group Inc.
On April 10, 2008 the Company incorporated a British Columbia company named Asian Dragon Silver Inc. (“ADSI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of both the Company and its subsidiary. (Hereinafter the combined company may be collectively referred to: “Asian Dragon”, “ADG”, “we”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”)
Effective December 2, 2008, the Company determined it would be unable to raise sufficient capital to meet contractual payment obligations under three exploration property purchase agreements it had entered. As such, the Board approved a resolution which authorized the Company to abandon its current exploration initiatives in China and cancel the Agreements it had signed with World Fortune Enterprise Inc., such cancellations to be effective December 2, 2008. Additionally, the Company cancelled the FGLW-XWG Transfer Agreement (dated April 30, 2008) which had assigned some of the Company’s rights under the Fuding (Revised) Agreement to its subsidiary Asian Dragon Silver Inc., such cancellation was also effective December 2, 2008.
Although the Agreement cancellations referenced in the paragraph above were executed subsequent to the year ended August 31, 2008, management elected to record the effect of these cancellations in these financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2008.
The Company’s common stock is traded in the NASD Over-The-Counter market under the symbol “AADG” and the Company is also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “P2J1”.
Our fiscal year end is August 31st.
The following risk factors should be considered in connection with an evaluation of the business of our business:
THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO JUDGE ITS PROSPECTS.
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company's shares in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of its corporate development.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ARE UNCERTAIN.
For the year ended August 31, 2008, the Company had a Net Loss from Operations of $(1,543,893). The Company may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance. If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
THE VALUE AND TRANSFERABILITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR ITS SHARES AND THE PENNY STOCK RULES.
There is only a limited trading market for the Company's shares. The Company's common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and "bid" and "asked" quotations regularly appear on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "AADG" and the Company is also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “P2J1”. There can be no assurance that the Company's common stock will trade at prices at or above its present level and an inactive or illiquid trading market may have an adverse impact on the market price. In addition, holders of the Company's common stock may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the "penny stock rules" which restrict the ability of brokers to sell certain securities of companies whose assets or revenues fall below the thresholds established by those rules.
FUTURE SALES OF SHARES MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK.
If required, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock. Future sales of shares by the Company or its stockholders could cause the market price of its common stock to decline.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of mineralized zones or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO OPERATING HAZARDS AND RISKS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The Company does not have general liability insurance covering its operations and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition.
THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER INDUSTRY REGULATIONS WHICH COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY.
The Company's activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental
legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
The operations of the Company include exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.
COMPETITION MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO ACQUIRE ATTRACTIVE PRECIOUS METALS PROPERTIES, WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS.
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of precious metals acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive precious metals properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any exploration program intended by the Company on properties it intends to acquire will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.
DOWNWARD FLUCTUATIONS IN METAL PRICES MAY SEVERELY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY.
The Company has no control over the fluctuations in the prices of the metals for which it is exploring. A significant decline in such prices would severely reduce the value of the Company.
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY RELIES ON CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS AND THE LOSS OF ONE OF THESE CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY.
The Company's success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company's growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and advisory board could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President & CEO, CFO, PAO, Treasurer & Secretary, Chair & Director of the Company, John Karlsson, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAINTAIN KEY MAN INSURANCE TO COMPENSATE THE COMPANY FOR THE LOSS OF CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS.
The Company does not anticipate having key man insurance in place in respect of its senior officers or personnel, although the Board has discussed and investigated the prospect of obtaining key man insurance for John Karlsson.
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE DEPOSIT OR "RESERVE" EXISTS ON ANY PROPERTIES FOR WHICH THE COMPANY HAS, OR MIGHT OBTAIN, AN INTEREST.
The Company is an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists on any properties for which the Company currently has (through an option) or may have (through potential future joint venture agreements or acquisitions) an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If the Company fails to find a commercially viable deposit on any of its properties, its financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
WE REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS MERELY TO DETERMINE WHETHER COMMERCIAL PRECIOUS METAL DEPOSITS EXIST ON OUR PROPERTIES.
Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
| § | Costs of bringing each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities; |
| § | Availability and costs of financing; |
| § | Ongoing costs of production; |
| § | Market prices for the precious metals to be produced; |
| § | Environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and |
| § | Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control. |
GENERAL MINING RISKS
Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered from any resource properties the Company may acquire. Metal prices, in particular gold and silver prices, have fluctuated widely in recent years. Government regulations relating to price, royalties, and allowable production and importing and exporting of precious metals can adversely affect the Company. There can be no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations on any projects it may acquire and environmental concerns about mining in general continue to be a significant challenge for all mining companies.
None.
The Company does not presently have any other material property investments.
Office Premises

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The Company’s shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Section 15(g), the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and must have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, Section 15(g) may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company’s securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and the secondary market; terms important to an understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealers "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customer’s rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

Restatement of Previously Filed Financial Statements
Financial statements corrections, re-allocation and re-formatting changes included in this 10-K/A version of these re-stated financial statements are as follows:
(i) The Company has determined its previous recording of $9,679,407 of Exploration License expenses and related Commitments Payable of $9,679,407 during the year ended August 31, 2007, was not appropriate and these items have been eliminated from the attached restated financial statements. The elimination of these items as at August 31, 2007 also necessitated an elimination from the preceding version of these financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2008 of an Other Income gain of $9,679,407;

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis covers material changes in the financial condition of ADG during the years ended August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007 and the Exploration Stage Period of August 15, 2006 to August 31, 2008 (the “Exploration Stage”).
Revenues
ADG did not earn revenues during the periods included in the financial statements in this report.
Expenses
Our operating expenses are classified into seven categories:
- Exploration Licenses
- Exploration Expenses
- Agent Fees
- Professional and Consultant Fees
- Stock Based Compensation – officers and directors
- Investor Relations
- Administrative Expenses
Exploration Licenses
Costs for Exploration Licenses for the year ended August 31, 2008 totaled $1,200,000 compared with $12,172,593 for the year ended August 31, 2007. For the Exploration Stage, costs for Exploration Licenses totaled $13,372,593 . These costs included cash and share based payments made to WFEI and WFEI or its nominees in the case of share based payments, toward the purchase of exploration licenses for certain properties in China. We cannot currently project the level of these expenses for fiscal 2009, but expect them to be minimal.
Exploration Expenses
Exploration Expenses for the year ended August 31, 2008 totaled $Nil compare to $50,215 for the year ended August 31, 2007. Expenses for the Exploration Stage totaled $50,215. These expenses were comprised of costs for geological services. We cannot currently project the level of these expenses for fiscal 2009, but expect them to be minimal.
Agent Fees
Agent Fees for the year ended August 31, 2008 totaled $30,000 compared to $1,822,500 for the year ended August 31, 2007. Agent Fees totaled $1,852,500 for the Exploration Stage. These payments were made to WFEI for the sourcing of exploration property opportunities in China. We cannot currently project the level of these expenses for fiscal 2009, but expect them to be minimal.
Professional and Consultant Fees
Professional & Consultant Fees are comprised of fees for work performed by accounting, audit and legal professionals. During the year ended August 31, 2008 these fees totaled $180,041 compared with $271,414 for the year ended August 31, 2007. For the Exploration Stage, these costs totaled $452,455. We anticipate Professional & Consultant Fees will decrease substantially in the upcoming year.
Stock Based Compensation – officers and directors
Stock Based Compensation expense totaled $Nil for the year ended August 31, 2008 compared with $6,975,491 for the year ended August 31, 2007. For the Exploration Stage, Stock Based Compensation totaled $6,975,491. We project stock based compensation expenses will be $Nil in the coming year.
Investor Relations
Investor Relations expenses comprise costs for press releases, maintenance of the Company’s website and other investor information initiatives. During the year ended August 31, 2008 these expenses totaled $61,536 versus $73,403 for the year ended August 31, 2007. For the Exploration Stage, Investor Relations expenses totaled $134,939. We anticipate Investor Relations expenses will decrease substantially in the upcoming year.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative Expenses were $62,649 for the year ended August 31, 2008 compared with $111,314 during the year ended August 31, 2007. For the Exploration Stage, Administrative Expenses totaled $174,035. These expenses are composed of travel, Edgar agent filing fees, stock transfer agent fees and general office expenses. We anticipate Administrative Expenses will decrease substantially in the upcoming year.
Net Income (Loss)
We incurred net losses of $(1,543,893), or $(0.04) per share, for the year ended August 31, 2008 compared to $(21,487,020), or $(0.65) per share, for the year ended August 31, 2007. The Net Loss for the Exploration Stage was $(23,427,442).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since its inception, the Company has financed its cash requirements from sale of common stock and shareholder loans. Uses of funds have included activities to establish and develop our business. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of August 31, 2008, consisted of cash resources of $4,423 and a shareholder loan from our President. Under the shareholder loan, loan advances to or on behalf of ADG, bear interest at 5% per annum, calculated and compounded annually, not in advance. ADG is required to repay the outstanding principal and interest at any time on demand. Prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest may be made by ADG at any time without notice, bonus or penalty. The amount outstanding under the shareholder loan was $194,243 including accrued interest as of August 31, 2008.
Since Exploration Stage inception through to and including August 31, 2008, we have executed cash sales of our common shares totaling $7,193,860 through private placements.
Contractual Obligations
Subsequent to the cancellation of property agreement with WFEI, the Company has no material contractual obligations outstanding.
Material Events and Uncertainties
Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable early stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.
Employees
As of August 31, 2008, we had no employees and used contracted services to perform geological work, legal services and our bookkeeping. Going forward, the Company will use consultants with specific skills to assist with various aspects of its project evaluation, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and property management.
Critical Accounting Policies
Asian Dragon’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in NOTE 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, Asian Dragon views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on Asian Dragon’s financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risk or for speculative purposes.
Our financial statements, together with the report of auditors, are as follows:

ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
To Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Asian Dragon Group Inc. and Subsidiary (An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Asian Dragon Group Inc. and subsidiary (An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended. We did not audit the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2007 or for the period from August 15, 2006 through August 31, 2007. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion on the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2007 and for the period from August 15, 2006 to August 31, 2007 is based solely upon the report of other auditors. Asian Dragon Group Inc. and subsidiary’s (An Exploration Stage Company) management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Asian Dragon Group Inc. and subsidiary (An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Asian Dragon Group Inc. and subsidiary will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements, Asian Dragon Group Inc. and subsidiary will need additional working capital for its planned activity and to service its debt. This raises substantial doubt about Asian Dragon Group Inc and subsidiary’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result for the outcome of this uncertainty.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTE 1 – Nature of Business and Operations
Asian Dragon Group Inc. (“Asian Dragon”, “ADG”, “We”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Nevada corporation on June 11, 2003. Asian Dragon was established to develop projects which focus on China’s growing precious and base metals reserves and markets.
Effective August 15, 2006, the business of its operating subsidiary, Galaxy Telnet SRL (“Galaxy”), was wound-up and the subsidiary was de-registered as a corporate entity. The termination of Galaxy was an element of the Purchase Agreement executed May 19, 2006 which effected a change of control of the Company. This Purchase Agreement included a term which required a former director to submit 64,550,000 shares he held for cancellation. Asian Dragon’s August 31, 2006 audited financial statements were presented to reflect the discontinuation of operation of Galaxy Telnet SRL and concurrently the date at which Asian Dragon became an Exploration Stage Company was set as August 15, 2006.
On April 10, 2008 the Company incorporated a British Columbia company named Asian Dragon Silver Inc. (“ADSI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of both the Company and its subsidiary.
Effective December 2, 2008, the Company determined it would be unable to raise sufficient capital to meet contractual payment obligations under three exploration property purchase agreements it had entered. As such, the Board approved a resolution which authorized the Company to abandon its current exploration initiatives in China and cancel the Agreements it had signed with World Fortune Enterprise Inc., such cancellations to be effective December 2, 2008. Additionally, the Company cancelled the FGLW-XWG Transfer Agreement (dated April 30, 2008) which had assigned some of the Company’s rights under the Fuding (Revised) Agreement to its subsidiary Asian Dragon Silver Inc., such cancellation was also effective December 2, 2008.
The Company is currently evaluating new opportunities and plans to develop a new strategic plan based in the mineral exploration industry.
Our fiscal year end is August 31st.
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since August 15, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its operations.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding Asian Dragon’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars. ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The financial statements reflect the following significant accounting policies:
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is an exploration stage company as defined by SEC Industry Guide 7, and follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, where applicable. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. As an exploration stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.
Exploration Costs and Mineral Property Right Acquisitions
Exploration rights and mineral property rights acquisitions include acquired interests in production, development and exploration stage properties (“Acquired Interests”). As required by FASB EITF 04-2, Acquired Interests are capitalized at their fair value at the acquisition date, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination. Acquired Interests are only capitalized when the Company has fully acquired legal title to the Acquired Interests and has attained the legal right to initiate exploration activities or begin mining. In situations (such as exist under the Jinjishan Agreement, the Loning Agreement, and the Fuding Agreement) where the Company has not acquired full legal title to Acquired Interests, the Company follows a policy of expensing payments made toward acquisition of exploration licenses. (This method for the treatment of exploration license payments for the three named agreements is used because the Company is not in a position to treat exploration license payments as assets until such time as it has fulfilled its purchase agreements and has attained full legal title to the underlying exploration licenses. Because there is no legal title, the underlying licenses do not qualify as mineral rights as defined by EITF 04-2 because no ‘acquisition’ has taken place and the Company does not legally own the licenses).
Until the Company has established the existence of proven or probable mineral reserves, as defined by Industry Guide 7, costs for exploration, including the building of infrastructure, will be expensed and recorded as ‘Exploration Costs’. At such time that the Company has established the existence of proven or probable reserves, mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, expand the capacity of mines, build the infrastructure necessary to extract resources, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production will be capitalized and recorded as ‘Development Costs’.
Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its investments in exploration licenses with internal and external mining related professionals. A decision to abandon, reduce or expand a specific project is based upon many factors including general and specific assessments of mineral deposits, anticipated future mineral prices, anticipated future costs of exploring, developing and operating a production mine, the expiration term and ongoing expenses of maintaining exploration licenses and the general likelihood that the Company will continue exploration on such project. The Company does not set a predetermined holding period for exploration licenses with unproven deposits, however, exploration licenses which have not demonstrated suitable metal concentrations at the conclusion of each phase of an exploration program are to be re-evaluated to determine if future exploration is warranted. Additionally, at such time as the Company has capitalized properties, it will periodically undertake to determine whether there has been any impairment in value; and that the carrying values of the properties are appropriate. All long-lived assets will be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
At such time as it has capitalized properties, the Company will evaluate the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.
If an area of interest is abandoned or it is determined that its carrying value cannot be supported by future production or sale, the related costs will be charged against operations in the year of abandonment or determination of value. The amounts recorded for exploration expenses represent costs to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.
The Company’s exploration activities and are subject to various laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing, generally becoming more restrictive. The Company expects in the future to make expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. At such time as the Company has capitalized properties, the accumulated costs of properties that are developed to the stage of commercial production will be amortized to operations through unit-of-production depletion.
Consolidation of Financial Statements
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and show its former subsidiary Galaxy Telnet as a discontinued operation. All previous inter-company accounts have been eliminated.
On April 10, 2008 the Company incorporated a British Columbia company named Asian Dragon Silver Inc. (“ADSI”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of both the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings or (Loss) per Share
Earnings or (loss) per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The denominator in this calculation is adjusted to reflect any stock splits or stock dividends. On May 25, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a 4 for 1 stock dividend and on August 21, 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a 4-for-1 stock split. All references to stock issued and stock outstanding have been retroactively adjusted as if the stock split and stock dividend had taken place at the earliest date shown. Additionally, on August 8, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the
ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
cancellation of 64,550,000 shares of its common stock which were submitted for cancellation by a former director. This cancellation resulted in the revaluation of share capital as follows: (i) Common Stock was revalued from $19,315 to $32,025, based on par value of $0.001 times the residual float of 32,025,000 common shares; (ii) the previously recorded Discount on Common Stock of $(7,309) was eliminated; and (iii) Paid In Capital was adjusted from $29,260 to $9,241. All references to this stock cancellation have been retroactively adjusted as if the stock cancellation had taken place at the earliest date shown
Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury method which requires the calculation of diluted loss per share by assuming that outstanding stock options with an average market price that exceeds the average exercise prices of the options for the year, are exercised and the assumed proceeds are used to repurchase shares of the Company at the average market price of the common shares for the year. An incremental per share effect is then calculated for each option. The denominator of the diluted loss per share formulae is the number common shares outstanding at balance sheet date plus the incremental shares assumed to be issued from treasury for option exercises, less the number of shares assumed to be repurchased, weighted by the period they are assumed to be outstanding. This dilution calculation resulted in zero effect to the weighted average shares outstanding in fiscal 2008.
Stock Based Compensation
In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, the Company applies the fair value method of accounting for all stock and stock option awards. Under this method the Company measures the compensation expense for stock and stock option grants based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant and amortizes this cost over the vesting period. In cases where vesting is immediate, the full cost of the grant is recorded on grant date.
The expense for all stock option grants awarded since August 8, 2007, the inception date of the 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan, are calculated using the fair value of the options determined by a Black-Scholes option pricing model and are credited to Additional Paid-In Capital.
The expense for the issuance of 500,000 shares to directors was expensed at $2.30 per share, which was the closing price of the stock on the date of issuance. This resulted in a stock based compensation expense of $1,150,000.00. Management considered alternative valuations for this transaction. These alternatives included consideration of the fact that the stock is restricted and subject to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the market for the stock is a thinly traded market which potentially may not support a block sale of this magnitude. Accounting principles require valuation of such transactions at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. On June 18, 2007 the company closed a private placement of a similar block of shares for cash consideration of $2.22. After considering all factors, management determined the most reliable measurement for pricing the directors stock grants was the closing market price on date of grant of $2.30 per share, but acknowledges that immediate sale in the open market may or may not be feasible.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of accounts payable, and other financial instruments reflected in the financial statements approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS 130 requires that the components and total amounts of comprehensive income be displayed in the financial statements beginning in 1998. Comprehensive income includes net income and all changes in equity during a period that arises from non-owner sources, such as foreign currency items and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in equity securities. Comprehensive loss for the periods shown equals the net loss for the period less the effect of foreign currency translation.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect in the years during which the differences are expected to reverse and upon the possible realization of net operating loss carry-forwards.
The Company also follows the provisions of FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation 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. In addition, FIN 48 includes the provisions that interest penalties recognized in accordance with FASB Interpretation 48 may be classified in the financial statements as either income taxes or interest expense. The Company’s policy is to recognize such items as interest expenses.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company will periodically analyze its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Start-up Costs
The Company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that all non-governmental entities expense the cost of start-up activities, including organizational costs as those costs are incurred.
Currency
The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Foreign currency transactions are factored into the books using the following method and translation adjustments are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income:
(i) | Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing as at the balance sheet date; |
(ii) | Non-Monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and |
(iii) | Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred |

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain sufficient funds necessary for launching a new business venture.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of precious and/or base metals and co-products will be recognized when the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred in accordance with the terms of the arrangement; the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue for precious metal bullion will be recognized at the time of delivery and transfer of title to counter-parties.
Capital Assets
Capital assets will be recorded at cost. Depreciation will be recorded based on estimated useful lives of assets at time of acquisition. At present the Company has no depreciable assets.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. SFAS No. 143 requires a liability to be recorded for the present value of the estimated site restoration costs with corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes due to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard permits fair value measurement of certain financial assets and liabilities in an effort to eliminate volatility of earnings created by current practice. Most of the Statement applies only to companies that elect fair value. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. This statement is effective for the first fiscal period beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has adopted this Statement and this adoption did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years and earlier application is encouraged. The Company has adopted this Statement and this adoption did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation 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. In addition, FIN 48 expands the disclosure requirements concerning unrecognized tax benefits as well as any significant changes that may occur in the next twelve months associated with such unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted FIN 48 and this adoption did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Various additional accounting pronouncements have been issued during 2007 and 2008, none of which are expected to have any material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 3 – Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company incurred a net loss in the current year of $(1,543,893). Additionally it has accumulated an operating losses since its inception, a deficit in working capital and stockholders equity and has had limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company is dependent on many factors, many of which have a high degree of uncertainty.
ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
During the year ended August 31, 2008, we addressed the going concern issue by raising cash of $400,000 through a private placement of our common stock. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to successfully fulfill its business plan. Management plans to attempt to raise additional funds to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company through a combination of equity and debt financings. While the Company is making its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these matters.

NOTE 5 – Commitments and Contingencies
Exploration License Transfers Contingencies
(The following information prior to December 2, 2008 pertains to the commitments and contingencies which existed during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2006 and is provided for reference)
The Company received an attorney’s review from Mr.Tian Huiquing, Kunda Law Office, Hunan, of the agreements which transfer the Exploration Licenses of which it is in the process of acquiring, and to the best of its knowledge, all of these Agreements are in good standing. However, the Exploration Licenses may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. There may be valid challenges to the title of the Company’s Exploration Licenses, once acquired, which, if successful, could impair development and/or operations. The Company cannot give any assurance that title to its Exploration Licenses will not be challenged.
In addition the Company is relying on a series of agreements between Chinese companies and entities to ultimately transfer title of the Exploration Licenses to the Company. While the Company has relied on opinions provided by Chinese counsel and to the best of its knowledge these agreements will effectively transfer title, the agreements and the transfer may be affected by undetected defects and the Company cannot give any assurance that the transfer of title to the Company will not be challenged.
If a material defect in the transfer of any Exploration Licenses for which the Company is currently in the process of acquiring were to occur, the Company may in the future be required to record an impairment to any future capitalized amounts it had recorded relating to its Exploration Licenses or exploration activities. Such would not be the case at present however, because the Company has not yet capitalized any amounts with respect to its exploration activities.
License Issuance Contingencies
In China, two levels of government primarily deal with the approval of the establishment of a foreign-invested joint venture in mineral exploration and mining (“Mining JV”): the central and the local (e.g., provincial or municipal). China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) is the central-government-level ministry in charge of reviewing and approving the establishment of Mining JVs. Applications must be submitted to MOFCOM’s local-level counterparts for upward submission to MOFCOM. However, in practice, many provincial bureaus of commerce, such as those in Henan Province, claim final approval authority and do not forward applications to MOFCOM. To our knowledge, MOFCOM is aware of this practice but has not taken any steps to intervene or take action against Mining JVs which have been approved only at the provincial level. Once MOFCOM, or its authorized local counterpart has issued its approval documents, the Chinese partners to the joint venture then apply to China’s State Administration of Industry and Commerce or its authorized local counterpart for a business license. The issuance of the business license marks the legal establishment of a Mining JV and confirms the permitted scope of the Mining JV’s activities. The business license is subject to annual review and renewal and is subject to the risk of non-renewal. To date all Joint Venture business licenses have been issued to the Mining JVs formed by WFEI and its Chinese partners. The Ministry of Land and Resources (“MOLAR”) is the central-government-level ministry in charge of exploration and mining licenses. Generally speaking, MOLAR holds the final authority to issue exploration and mining licenses to Mining JVs; however,
ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for projects in Henan province, it has delegated this authority to the respective provincial-level bureaus of land and resources in those provinces, for the Company’s current purposes, the Gold Bureau in particular. To date, all exploration licenses which have been granted regarding properties for which Asian Dragon has entered purchase agreements have been issued at the local-level. This raises the contingency that MOLAR may deem these licenses lack validity, or require further applications be submitted to it regarding these properties.
Once the Company has performed sufficient work on a property to determine that it has value it must develop and submit a Development Report to the Chinese Government. This report forms a part of the application for a mining permit. There is no assurance that any applicant will be granted a mining license and therefore this represents a contingency risk for the Company’s future operations.
Effective December 2, 2008, the Company determined it would be unable to raise sufficient capital to meet contractual payment obligations under three exploration property purchase agreements it had entered. As such, the Board approved a resolution which authorized the Company to abandon its current exploration initiatives in China and cancel the Agreements it had signed with World Fortune Enterprise Inc., such cancellations to be effective December 2, 2008. Additionally, the Company cancelled the FGLW-XWG Transfer Agreement (dated April 30, 2008) which had assigned some of the Company’s rights under the Fuding (Revised) Agreement to its subsidiary Asian Dragon Silver Inc., such cancellation was also effective December 2, 2008.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
On August 8, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the cancellation of 64,550,000 shares of its common stock which were submitted for cancellation by a former director (see Note 12 below for further detail). This cancellation of these 64, 550,000 required a special accounting treatment because these particular shares had previously been revalued when they were part of a reverse merger transaction in 2003. This previous revaluation had been necessitated because the 64,550,000 shares had been issued to the former director prior to the issuing company (the ‘target company’) being acquired in a reverse takeover on October 31, 2003. When the reverse takeover took place, the total par value of the acquired shares of the target company was higher than the book value of the new combined company. As a result a recapitalization of share capital was required and a ‘Discount on Common Stock’ of $(7,309) arose. Subsequently in 2006 when these particular shares were submitted for cancellation by the former director, another revaluation was required to eliminate the Discount on Common Stock. This cancellation resulted in the revaluation of share capital as follows: (i) Common Stock was revalued from $19,315 to $32,025, based on par value of $0.001 times the residual float of 32,025,000 common shares; (ii) the previously recorded Discount on Common Stock of $(7,309) was eliminated; and (iii) Paid In Capital was adjusted from $29,260 to $9,241.
On October 31, 2003, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all issued and outstanding shares of Galaxy Telnet.
On November 1, 2003, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.0002 for a total of $6,000.
During the fiscal year ending August 31, 2004, the Company issued 26,750,000 shares of its common stock in a private offering at $0.001 for a total of $26,575.
On August 20, 2004, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 in exchange for conversion of shareholder loans to the Company of $10,000.
On November 6, 2006, the Company completed a private placement sale of 250,000 shares of its common stock at $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1,000,000.
On December 18, 2006, the Company completed a private placement sale of 400,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $2,000,000.
On April 2, 2007, the Company completed a private placement sale of 300,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1,500,000.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
On June 15, 2007, the Company issued two of its directors 250,000 shares each of its common stock for a total issuance of 500,000 shares. This stock was valued at $2.30 per share, which was the closing price of the stock on the date of issuance. This resulted in a stock based compensation expense of $1,150,000.00. Management considered alternative valuations for this transaction. These alternatives included consideration of the fact that the stock is restricted and subject to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the market for the stock is a thinly traded market which potentially may not support a block sale of this magnitude. Accounting principles require valuation of such transactions at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. On June 18, 2007 the company closed a private placement of a similar block of shares for cash consideration of $2.22, After considering all factors, management determined the most reliable measurement for pricing the directors stock grants was the closing market price on date of grant of $2.30 per share, but acknowledges that immediate sale in the open market may or may not be feasible.
On June 18, 2007, the Company completed a private placement sale of 450,000 shares of its common stock at $2.22 per share for aggregate proceeds of $999,000.
On August 29, 2007, the Board approved issuance of 750,000 restricted common shares to WFEI and 3,000,000 to WFEI or its nominees regarding exploration agreements. This stock was expensed at $2.35 per share, which was the closing price of the stock on that date.
On August 31, 2007, the Company completed a private placement sale of 600,000 shares of its common stock at $2.1581 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1,294,860. At August 31, 2007 a $1,000,000 subscription receivable was recorded regarding this sale and was collected subsequent to year end on September 13, 2007.
On January 14, 2008, the Company completed a private placement sale of 500,000 shares of its common stock at $0.80 per share for aggregate proceeds of $400,000.
NOTE 9 – Stock Options
On August 8, 2007 the board approved creation of the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan allows for the issuance of up to 6,905,000 options on 6,905,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a maximum exercise period of ten years, to be granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants. During fiscal 2007 the Company granted 3,000,000 stock options to purchase 3,000,000 restricted common shares of Asian Dragon. These options vested immediately and are exercisable at a price of $2.13 per option, expire in 2017, and were recorded as a compensation expense at fair value for the year ended August 31, 2007 at a total cost of $5,825,491. The fair value of the options granted were calculated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a risk-free interest rate of 3.74% (based on the US 30-day T-Bill rate on grant date); (ii) a dividend yield of zero: (iii) a volatility factor of 167% (based on the 12 month standard deviation of ADG’s daily stock closing price); an exercise price of $2.13 (which was fixed as the closing stock price on grant date); and an expected life of the options of four years (which is the time during which the Company estimates the options will be exercised). As per FASB SFAS 123R, the fair value method requires the cost of options to be expensed over the period in which they vest, which in the case of all 2007 option grants was immediately as of grant date. Additionally as required by FASB SFAS 123R, the value of the underlying shares issuances has been credited to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Balance Sheet.

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes
The Company is subject to federal income taxes in the United States. The Company had no income taxes payable during the reported periods due to net operating losses.
ASIAN DRAGON GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company's deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company's deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry-forwards. Net operating loss carry-forwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.
Income taxes at the statutory rate are reconciled to the Company’s actual income taxes as follows:
Income tax benefit at statutory rate resulting from net operating Loss carryforward | | | (35 | %) |
Deferred income tax valuation allowance | | | 35 | % |
Actual tax rate | | | 0 | % |
The Company's deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and change in valuation allowance are as follows (“NOL” denotes Net Operating Loss):
Year Ending | | Estimated NOL Carry-forward | | | NOL Expires | | | Estimated Tax Benefit from NOL | | | Valuation Allowance | | | Net Tax Benefit | |

NOTE 12 – Discontinued Operations
(i) TERMINATION OF GALAXY TELNET SRL:
Due to general economic conditions and other factors, the Company’s subsidiary Galaxy Telnet SRL (“Galaxy”) did not achieve its planned operational objectives in Romania. In April 2006, the Board determined the Company should abandon its VoIP business model and seek other business opportunities. During May 2006, the Company: disposed of all Galaxy’s property and equipment to the Company’s former CEO for the un-depreciated value of the assets (which gave rise to no gain or loss for Galaxy); terminated Galaxy’s client service contracts; terminated agreements with persons employed on contract by Galaxy; terminated Galaxy’s office lease and all vendor contracts and ceased all operations in Romania. On June 28, 2006 the former CEO submitted his resignation as a director of the Company and in August 2006 the Company completed all prescribed filings required to de-register Galaxy as a corporate entity and a Romanian administrative judge recorded that Galaxy was extinguished.

There were no disagreements with our accountants regarding accounting and financial disclosure matters.
On March 3, 2008, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K which reported on Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. The information in this report is as follows:
On March 3, 2008, Asian Dragon Group, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Madsen & Associates CPA’s Inc., an independent registered public accounting firm, as the Company’s new principal independent accountant and accordingly dismissed Schumacher & Associates, Inc. CPAs this same day.
Schumacher & Associates, Inc. CPAs audited the financial statements of the registrant for the period from August 15, 2006 (date of inception) through August 31, 2006 and the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2007 and was engaged by the Company as its independent accountant until March 3, 2008.
Schumacher & Associates, Inc.’s reports in each of the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, other than reflecting an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The decision to change our principal independent accountant was approved by the board of directors of the Company.
There were no disagreements with Schumacher & Associates Inc. on any matter of accounting principal or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure during the two most recent fiscal years or any later interim period, other than as described in the following paragraph.
During the audit of the Company’s 2007 financial statements, Schumacher & Associates Inc. and the Company conducted discussions relating to various contract details and disclosures and on August 31, 2007, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to amend and address these issues. Subsequently, the Company filed an amendment to this filing through a Form 8-K/A on November 29, 2007 which further clarified information included in the August 31st filing.
We provided Schumacher & Associates, Inc. with a copy of the Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC, and requested that they furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether they agree with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the aspects with which they do not agree. The letter from Schumacher & Associates, Inc. is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K.
Madsen & Associates CPA’s Inc. were not engaged by the Company during the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period as either principal accountant to audit our financial statements or as a consultant.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company's desired disclosure control objectives. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's certifying officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in reaching that level of assurance.
As of the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of August 31, 2008, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of August 31, 2008, as a result of the identification of the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies. (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC's reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.
Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended August 31, 2008, the Certifying Officers reviewed our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act as of the Evaluation Date and concluded that no changes occurred in such control or in other factors during the last fiscal that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Deficiencies identified include the inadequate segregations of duties, lack of controls over procedures used to enter transactions into the general ledger, and lack of appropriate review of the reconciliations and supporting workpapers used in the financial close and reporting process. Due to the potential pervasive effect on the financial statement account balances and disclosures and the importance of the annual and interim financial closing and reporting process, in the aggregate, management concluded that there was more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements could occur and would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan
Subsequent to May 31, 2008, we began work to remediate the significant deficiencies identified in our internal control over financial reporting described above, including specific remediation initiatives described below. We began implementation of the actions described below with respect to the identified significant deficiencies and these remedies were in place at August 31, 2008.
Insufficient dedication of resources to administrative functions. We have focused intensive efforts on re-aligning management duties to ensure a number of control deficiencies related to the documentation of expenses relating to our international activities are addressed in an effective and timely manner.
Ineffective Controls related to the Entering of Transactions into the General Ledger, Preparation of Certain Account Analyses, Account Summaries, and Account Reconciliations. As a result of the adjustments made with respect to certain income statement accounts for the quarters ended November 30, 2007, February 29, 2007, and May 31, 2007, we determined a more detailed review of these accounts was necessary in connection with our quarterly and annual financial reporting process. The Company developed a more intensive financial close process to ensure a thorough review of entering transactions into the general ledger is performed, supporting schedules are adequately prepared and/or reviewed, and that they included adequate supporting documentation.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company has confidence in its revised regime of internal controls and procedures. Nevertheless, the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met, and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issuers and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
As reported on a Form 8-K filed December 3, 2008, effective December 2, 2008 the Company determined it would be unable to raise sufficient capital to meet contractual payment obligations under three exploration property purchase agreements it had entered. As such, the Board approved a resolution which authorized the Company to abandon its current exploration initiatives in China and cancel the Agreements it had signed with World Fortune Enterprise Inc., such cancellations to be effective December 2, 2008. Additionally, the Company cancelled the FGLW-XWG Transfer Agreement (dated April 30, 2008) which had assigned some of the Company’s rights under the Fuding (Revised) Agreement to its subsidiary Asian Dragon Silver Inc., such cancellation was also effective December 2, 2008.
Our directors and officers, as of August 31, 2008, were as set forth below. The directors hold office for their respective term and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Vacancies in the Board are filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors. The officers serve at the will of the Board of Directors. The term of the directors listed below is each one year.

He has a Bachelor's Degree in Geology, a Master's Degree in Geochemistry from the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) and obtained a Doctorate at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Since obtaining his Doctorate, Dr. Trottier dedicated his career primarily to managing junior exploration companies, having first joined the Morisco Mining Group as Vice President of Research and Development from 1987 to 1993, thereafter followed by President of Coleraine Mining Resources from 1993 to 1996. During this period, he was in charge of the geological evaluation for the development and start-up of the Donalda gold mine located in Abitibi, and the Nugget Pond gold mine in Newfoundland. From February 1996 to December 2006, he has been a director of Sulliden Exploration Inc. During this time he spearheaded the company's initiatives in Peru with considerable success.

This last discovery led to his recognition in the year 2000 as Prospector of the year in Peru, conferred by the Honorary Mining Merit committee composed of 15 members representing seven professional mining related organizations, including the National Society of Mining, Petroleum and Energy; the Geological Society of Peru; and the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

Audit Committee Financial Expert
In 2006 the Board delegated responsibilities of the Audit Committee to the full Board. Due to the fact that the Company is in its exploration stage, it has not yet been able to recruit and compensate a financial expert for the Audit Committee.
Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act - Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act as amended requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities (the "10% Stockholders"), to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and 10% Stockholders of the Company are required by Commission regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms so filed.
Based solely upon a review of filings made and other information available to it, the Company believes that each of the Company's present Section 16 reporting persons filed all forms required of them by Section 16(a) during the year 2008.
Based solely upon a review of the Forms 3, 4, and 5 furnished to us for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008, we have determined that our directors, officers, and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16 filing requirements.

Under the rules of the Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.
The following table sets forth each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of five percent or more of the Company’s Common Stock and all such persons as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
