NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company”, “Aurum Explorations”, “we”, “us” or “our” are references to the business of Aurum Explorations, Inc.
Aurum Explorations, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 27, 2007. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resources properties. The Company had been in the exploration stage since its incorporation and had not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. In July 2009, there was a change in control of the Company and as a result, the Company became dormant. The Company was in the development stage as defined in ASC 915 (formerly SFAS No. 7) and all activities of the Company related to its organization, initial funding and share issuances until the Company ceased to be a shell company in connection with its October 30, 2010 reverse acquisition.
On October 30, 2010, the Company completed an acquisition of Greatmat Holdings Limited, a BVI company (“Greatmat”), pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement. The acquisition was a reverse acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-40 “Reverse Acquisitions”. Aurum Explorations was the legal acquirer but accounting acquiree while Greatmat was the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer. There was no non-controlling interest after the acquisition. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Greatmat is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $180,391 since inception as of September 30, 2010 raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The reverse acquisition of Greatmat on October 30, 2010 should markedly improve the Company’s cash position in the next twelve months.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements for interim periods are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim transition financial statements for the two and three months ended September 30, 2010 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited statements as of July 31, 2010 and reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of its statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the two months and three months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year or any future periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates the related estimates and assumptions. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate and reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basic and Diluted Net loss per Share
The Company reports the loss per share in accordance with ASC 260-10 (formerly SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings per Share”). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the dilution of common stock equivalents such as options, convertible preferred stock and warrants to the extent the impact is dilutive. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the earnings per share computation.
Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASC 830-10 (formerly SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses are included in the income statement for the year/period. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. As the Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar, all translation gains and losses are transactional, and the Company has no assets with value recorded in foreign currency, there is no recognition of other comprehensive income in the financial statements.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $180,391 as of September 31, 2010 raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The acquisition of Greatmat on October 30, 2010 should mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740-10 (formerly SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,") which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company’s net income.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10 (formerly FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”) and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions. In the event we receive an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.
Fair values of financial instruments
ASC 825-10 (formerly SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,") requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash, accrued liabilities and amount due to the former stockholder.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and to the interest rates on the borrowings approximating those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (ASC) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC superseded all previously existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and any prior sources of U.S. GAAP not included in the ASC or grandfathered are not authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP but changes the approach by referencing authoritative literature by topic (each a “Topic”) rather than by type of standard. The ASC has been effective for the Company effective July 1, 2009. Adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but references in the Company’s notes to financial statements to former FASB positions, statements, interpretations, opinions, bulletins or other pronouncements are now presented as references to the corresponding Topic in the ASC.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 350-30 and ASC 275-10-50 (formerly FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”), which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The Company will apply ASC 350-30 and ASC 275-10-50 prospectively to intangible assets acquired subsequent to the adoption date. The adoption of these revised provisions had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 815-10-65 (formerly SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), which amends and expands previously existing guidance on derivative instruments to require tabular disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses., This ASC also requires disclosure regarding the credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The adoption of this ASC did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
During 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10 (formerly FSP FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement 157"), which deferred the provisions of previously issued fair value guidance for non-financial assets and liabilities to the first fiscal period beginning after November 15, 2008. Deferred nonfinancial assets and liabilities include items such as goodwill and other non-amortizable intangibles. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the fair value guidance for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of FASB ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 810-10-65 (formerly SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51"), which amends previously issued guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity. Among other requirements, this Statement requires that the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income statement. The adoption of the provisions in this ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 805-10 (formerly SFAS 141R, "Business Combinations"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in an acquiree and the goodwill acquired. In addition, the provisions in this ASC require that any additional reversal of deferred tax asset valuation allowance established in connection with our fresh start reporting on January 7, 1998 be recorded as a component of income tax expense rather than as a reduction to the goodwill established in connection with the fresh start reporting. The Company will apply ASC 805-10 to any business combinations subsequent to adoption.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 805-20 (formerly FSP FAS 141R-1, "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies"), which amends ASC 805-10 to require that an acquirer recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value of such an asset acquired or liability assumed cannot be determined, the acquirer should apply the provisions of ASC Topic 450, Contingences, to determine whether the contingency should be recognized at the acquisition date or after such date. FSP The adoption of ASC 805-20 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65 (formerly FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"), which amends previous guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The adoption of FASB ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 320-10-65 (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments"). Under ASC 320-10-65, an other-than-temporary impairment must be recognized if the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or the Company more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. In addition, ASC 320-10-65 requires impairments related to credit loss, which is the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis for each security, to be recognized in earnings while impairments related to all other factors to be recognized in other comprehensive income. The adoption of ASC 320-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65 (formerly FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly"), which provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10 (formerly SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncement to be Adopted
In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (formerly FASB FSP FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets”), which expands the disclosure requirements about plan assets for defined benefit pension plans and postretirement plans. It is expected the adoption of these disclosure requirements will have no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
ASC 860-10-65 codified SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset by taking into consideration the transferor’s continuing involvement. The standard requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is removed from SFAS No.140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” along with the exception from applying FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” It is expected the adoption of this Statement will have no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
ASC 810-10-30 and 10-65 codified SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” The standard amends FIN No. 46(R) to require a company to analyze whether its interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) gives it a controlling financial interest. A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance. Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary are also required by the standard. SFAS No. 167 amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE. The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were available under FIN No. 46(R). It is expected the adoption of this Statement will have no material effect on the Company’s Financial Statements.
In August, 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2009-05 (“Update 2009-05”) to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities under FASB ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements"). The Company is required to adopt Update 2009-05 in the first quarter of 2010. It is expected the adoption of this Update will have no material effect on the Company’s Financial Statements.

In October 2009, the FASB concurrently issued the following ASC Updates:
· ASU No. 2009-14 - Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (formerly EITF Issue No. 09-3). This standard removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance and also provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product, such as embedded software, are within the scope of the software revenue guidance.
· ASU No. 2009-13 - Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (formerly EITF Issue No. 08-1). This standard modifies the revenue recognition guidance for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple elements, such as product, software, services or support, to a customer at different times as part of a single revenue generating transaction. This standard provides principles and application guidance to determine whether multiple deliverables exist, how the individual deliverables should be separated and how to allocate the revenue in the arrangement among those separate deliverables. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements.
In October 2009, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-15—Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. ASU 2009-15 amends ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, to provide accounting and reporting guidance for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 with retrospective application required.
In January 2010, the FASB issued the following ASC Updates:
· ASU No. 2010-01—Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. This Update clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to stockholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all stockholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 with retrospective application.
· ASU No. 2010-02—Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This Update amends Subtopic 810-10 and related guidance to clarify that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to (i) a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity; (ii) a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture; and (iii) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a non-controlling interest in an entity, but does not apply to: (i) sales of in substance real estate; and (ii) conveyances of petroleum and gas mineral rights. The amendments in this Update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10).
· ASU No. 2010-05—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation. This Update simply codifies EITF Topic D-110, “Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation and does not change any existing accounting standards.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
· ASU No. 2010-06—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This Update amends Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures about transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. This Update also amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify certain existing disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
The Company expects that the adoption of the above Updates issued in January 2010 will not have any significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. Pursuant to ASC 740-10 (formerly SFAS No. 109), the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that realization is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The provision for income taxes differs from the result which would be obtained by applying the statutory income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes. The difference results from the following items:
September 30, 2010 | July 31, 2010 | |||||||
Computed expected income taxes | $ | - | $ | 8,324 | ||||
Increase in valuation allowance | - | (8,324 | ) | |||||

Company Overview
Aurum Explorations, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 27, 2007. The Company was originally formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resources properties. The Company had been in the exploration stage since its incorporation and had not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. In July 2009, there was a change in control of the Company. Thereafter, the Company became dormant and was actively seeking a business combination through the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of Greatmat Holdings
On October 30, 2010, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Greatmat Holdings Limited and its sole shareholder, whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Greatmat Holdings in exchange for 36,560,700 shares of our Common Stock, which constituted 75.0% of our issued and outstanding capital stock as of and immediately after the consummation of the reverse acquisition. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Greatmat Holdings became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholder of Greatmat Holdings became our controlling stockholder. The share exchange transaction with Greatmat Holdings and its shareholder, or Share Exchange, was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Greatmat Holdings as the acquirer and Aurum as the acquired party for accounting purposes. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of Aurum Explorations, Inc.
15
Immediately prior to the Share Exchange, the common stock of Greatmat Holdings was solely owned by Chris Yun Sang SO, the founder and chief executive officer of Greatmat.
Upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, Yau-sing TANG, Aurum’s sole director and officer, submitted a resignation letter pursuant to which he resigned from all offices that he held effective immediately and from his position as our director that became effective on November 19, 2010. In addition, our board of directors on October 30, 2010 increased the size of our board of directors to three directors and appointed Chris Yun Sang SO, Carol Lai Ping HO and Rick Chun Wah TSE to fill the vacancies created by such resignation and increase in the size of the board, which appointments became effective on November 19, 2010. In addition, our sole executive officer Yau-sing TANG was replaced by Chris Yun Sang SO, Carol Lai Ping HO and Rick Chun Wah TSE upon the closing of the reverse acquisition.
As a result of our acquisition of Greatmat Holdings, we now own all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Greatmat Holdings, which in turn owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Greatmat Limited, Greatmat Hong Kong and Greatmat China, our operating subsidiaries.
Greatmat Limited was established in Hong Kong in September 2010. Greatmat Hong Kong was established in Hong Kong in May 2004. Greatmat China was established in the British Virgin Islands in December 2008. Greatmat Holdings was established in the British Virgin Islands in July 2010 to serve as an intermediate holding company. Greatmat Holdings currently owns 100% of Greatmat Limited, Greatmat Hong Kong and Greatmat China. Chris Yun Sang SO currently serves as the sole director of each of Greatmat Holdings, Greatmat Limited and Greatmat Hong Kong, and Greatmat Holdings currently serves as the sole director of Greatmat China.
The financial statements and related historical disclosure contained in this report relate to the period before the reverse acquisition when Aurum Industries, Inc. was a shell company without substantial operations. On October 30, 2010, the Board of Directors of Aurum approved changing the fiscal year end of Aurum from July 31 to December 31 as a result of the reverse acquisition of Greatmat Limited. The Company is currently seeking to change its name to “Greatmat Technology Corporation,” to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split, and to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000, which actions will not take effect until the Company complies with the requirements of Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act and certain other requirements.
Results of Operations
From August 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 and August 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009
The Company has incurred no expenses and has not generated any revenues from business activities from August 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 and from August 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. Owing to no transactions, no revenues and no expenses, the Company’s net loss was $0 for these periods of time.
From July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 and July 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009
The Company has incurred $7,917 and $3,753 in expenses and has generated $0 and $0 in revenues from business activities from July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 and from July 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009, respectively. For these periods of time, the Company had net losses of $7,917 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and $3,753 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, mainly attributable to professional fees, including accounting, auditing and legal expenses of $6,400 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and $3,220 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The total expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 increased 111% compared to the same period in 2009 due to increased expenses incurred for filing fees and legal and professional fees. Although the percentage increase was high, these expenses reflected normal operating expenses of the business.
16
From Inception on April 27, 2007 to September 30, 2010
The Company has continued to incur operating expenses and has not generated any revenues from business activities since its inception on April 27, 2007. For the period from April 27, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2010, the Company had net losses of $180,391, mainly attributable to professional fees, including accounting, auditing and legal expenses of $115,906.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2010, we had no assets and had not generated any revenues from any business activities, which were the same amounts as of July 31, 2010. As a result of our subsequent reverse acquisition of Greatmat, we believe that our current cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet our present cash needs unless we expand our current scale of production to another level in a short period of time, in which case we may require additional cash resources to fund our additional capital expenditures and working capital requirements related to such growth. We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to ramp up our production facilities and increase machinery and equipment, or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
