NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regarding our company that include, but are not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products, services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by us. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential,” “believes,” “seeks,” “hopes,” “estimates,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “with a view to” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
These forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. Although we believe our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Our Business” and other sections in this report. You should read this report and the documents we refer to thoroughly with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. Other sections of this report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.
This report contains statistical data we obtained from various publicly available government publications and industry-specific third party reports. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. The markets for our products may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at the projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our securities. In addition, the rapidly changing nature of our customers’ industries results in significant uncertainties in any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our markets. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data is later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Except where otherwise noted, our estimates are derived from publicly available information released by third party sources, as well as data from our internal research, and are based on such data and our knowledge of our industry, which we believe to be reasonable. None of the independent industry publication market data cited in this report was prepared on our or our affiliates’ behalf.
The forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this report and the documents we refer to in this report and have filed as exhibits to this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

GENERAL
Romulus Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 16, 2013 and established a fiscal year end of August 31. We do not have revenues, have minimal assets and have incurred losses since inception. We were originally formed to commence operations in the business of placing and operating boxing machines.
During the period ended February 28, 2015, Artem Rusakov, the principal shareholder of the Company, determined the Company would no longer pursue this business plan. On March 23, 2015, Artem Rusakov sold 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing all of the shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Mr. Rusakov, to Eastwin Capital Pte Ltd (“Eastwin”). Upon closing of that purchase, Eastwin removed Mr. Rusakov as a director and officer of the Company and appointed Ser Miang Chua as a director, Chief Executive Officer and President and David Chong as a director, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Also on March 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization pursuant to which its wholly-owned subsidiary, Romulus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 20, 2015, will merge with and into Natural Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NRC”), as a result of which, NRC will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In the aggregate, holders of the shares of NRC’s common stock will receive approximately 124,000,000 common shares of the Company in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of NRC’s common stock. As a result of the Merger, NRC will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the date of this report, the merger between Romulus Merger Sub, Inc. and NRC has not been consummated.
Insurance
We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party of a lawsuit, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.
Employees. Identification of Certain Significant Employees
We are a development stage company and currently have no employees.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any other research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries other than Romulus Merger Sub, Inc., which was formed solely to consummate the merger with NRC.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report ". Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since Inception (April 16, 2013) resulting in an accumulated deficit of $55,177 as of August 31, 2015 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and, or, the private placement of common stock.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2015 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2014.
Operating Expenses
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, we incurred expenses of $34,040 compared to $20,925 incurred during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 was $34,040 compared to a net loss of $20,925 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2015
As of August 31, 2015, our current assets were $0 compared to $23,969 as of August 31, 2014, and our total liabilities were $8,765 compared to $6,906 as of August 31, 2014. Our current assets as of August 31, 2014 were comprised of cash. As of August 31, 2015, total liabilities were comprised of $7,875 in loans from shareholders and $890 in accounts payable, compared to $6,806 and $100, respectively as of August 31, 2014.
Stockholders’ equity decreased from $17,063 as of August 31, 2014 to a deficit of $8,765 as of August 31, 2015.
CASH FLOW FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2015 COMPARED TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2014.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, net cash flows used in operating activities was $33,250 consisting entirely of a net loss of $34,040. And a increase of account payable of $790 For the fiscal year ended August 30, 2014, net cash flows used in operating activities was $(20,825) consisting of a net loss of $(20,925) and an increase in accounts payable of $100.
6
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We neither generated no used funds in investing activities during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 or the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock or by way of loan from our director and principal shareholder. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $9,281, consisting of loans from the current and previous principal shareholders. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $36,700, consisting of $30,200 received from proceeds from sale of shares of our common stock and $6,500 received from proceeds by way of loan from our previous sole officer, director and principal shareholder.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.
Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next six months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) acquisition of inventory; (ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.
MATERIAL COMMITMENTS
As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any material commitments.
PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of the date of this Annual Report, 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, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
GOING CONCERN
The independent auditors' report accompanying our August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since Inception (April 16, 2013) resulting in an accumulated deficit of $55,177 as of August 31, 2015 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
7
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and, or, the private placement of common stock.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2015 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, operated and managed, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Because of the inherent limitations of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.
We conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2015, the last day of our fiscal year. This assessment was based on criteria established in the frameworkInternal Control—Integrated Framework,issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and included an evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
8
This annual report on Form 10-K 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.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
With the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the Company’s fiscal year ended as of August 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on such evaluation, management concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Romulus Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Romulus Corp. (the "Company") as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has had no revenues and suffered recurring losses since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2015
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Organization and Description of Business
ROMULUS CORP. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 16, 2013. The Company was originally formed to commence operations in the business of placing and operating coin operated machines. Since inception through August 31, 2015 the Company has not generated any revenue and has accumulated deficit of $55,177
On March 23, 2015, Artem Rusakov sold 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing all of the shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Artem Rusakov, to Eastwin Capital Pte Ltd (“Eastwin”). A change in control of Romulus has occurred upon the transfer of approximately 72.59% of the ownership of Romulus from Artem Rusakov to Eastwin. As a result of this change in control, the existing director of Romulus has been replaced by its new directors, David Chong and Ser Miang Chua.
Also on March 23, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization pursuant to which its wholly-owned subsidiary, Romulus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 20, 2015, will merge with and into Natural Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NRC”), as a result of which, NRC will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In the aggregate, holders of the shares of NRC’s common stock will receive approximately 124,000,000 common shares of the Company in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of NRC’s common stock. As a result of the Merger, NRC will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the date of this report, the merger between Romulus Merger Sub, Inc. and NRC has not been consummated.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $55,177 as of August 31, 2015 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with loans from directors and/or private placement of common stock.
The accompanying condensed financial statement do not contain any adjustment to reflect possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liability that may result should the Company be unable to continue as going concern.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has adopted an August 31 fiscal year end.
F-6
Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of August 31, 2015, the Company did not have cash equivalents.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The Company’s early adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under U.S. GAAP. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2014-15 effective with these financial statements. Management’s evaluations regarding the events and conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern have been disclosed in Note 1.
F-7
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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK
During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Company issued 3,020,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01 per share for total proceeds $30,200.
On March 23, 2015, Artem Rusakov sold 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing all of the shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Artem Rusakov, to Eastwin. A change in control of Romulus has occurred upon the transfer of approximately 72.59% of the ownership of Romulus from Artem Rusakov to Eastwin. As a result of this change in control, the existing director of Romulus has been replaced by its new directors, David Chong and Ser Miang Chua.
As of August 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had 11,020,000 shares issued and outstanding.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
The income tax provision (benefit) consists of the following:
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Federal | ||||||||
Current | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
Deferred | (18,760 | ) | (7,187 | ) | ||||

Change in valuation allowance | 18,760 | 7,187 | ||||||
Income tax provision (benefit) | $ | - | $ | - |
At August 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had a net operating loss (“NOL’s”) carry forward in the amount of $55,177 and $21,137, respectively, available to offset future taxable income. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods. The Company has not filed its federal tax returns since inception and therefore, the NOL’s will not be available to offset future taxable income until the tax returns are filed with the respective federal tax authorities.
F-8
A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate as a percentage of income before taxes and federal statutory rate for the periods ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 is summarized below.
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Federal statutory rate | (34.0 | )% | (34.0 | )% | ||||
State income taxes, net of federal benefits | 0.0 | 0.0 | ||||||
Valuation allowance | 34.0 | 34.0 |
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of August 31, 2015 and 2014, the total loan amount was $7,875 and $6,806, respectively, from the principal shareholder. The loan is non-interest bearing, due upon demand and unsecured. As a part of the Agreement for the Purchase of Common Stock (the “Agreement”) between Artem Rusakov and Eastwin Capital Pte Ltd., Mr. Rusakov, cancelled all indebtedness owed to him on the date of closing of the transaction, March 23, 2015. A total of $8,212 of debt to the former shareholder, Mr. Rusakov, was cancelled.
NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from August 31, 2015 through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there are no items to disclose.
