NOTE–1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the periods presented have been included in the interim period. Operating result for the three months ended January 31, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending October 31, 2019. The condensed consolidated financial data at October 31, 2019 is derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019, filed on February 3, 2020.

NOTE–3 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the three months ended January 31, 2020, we reported a loss of $28,071 and working capital deficit of $1,546,428 as of January 31, 2020.

In order to continue as a going concern, we will expect, among other things, to generate more profitable operations in the future and/or additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to raise adequate resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing.

These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

NOTE–4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

·	Use of estimates

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

·	Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGCG and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

·	Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

·	Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We extend unsecured credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. We will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Based upon the aforementioned criteria, we did not write off accounts receivable on uncollectible rental receivable at January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

(Unaudited)

·	Marketable Securities at Fair Value

Marketable securities at fair value are reported at fair value using the market approach based on the quoted prices in active markets at the reporting date. We classify the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1 of fair value measurements. Any unrealized losses that are deemed other-than-temporary are included in current period earnings and removed from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are included in current period earnings. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses, the cost basis of each investment sold is generally based on the weighted average cost method.

We regularly evaluate whether the decline in fair value of available-for-sale securities is other-than-temporary and objective evidence of impairment could include:

	·	The severity and duration of the fair value decline;
	·	Deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer; and
	·	Evaluation of the factors that could cause individual securities to have an other-than-temporary impairment.

As at the three months ended January 31, 2020, we invested in equity securities listed on Bursa Malaysia with a total cost of $265,606 and escrow funds (which invested in equity securities listed in the U.S.) with a total cost of $200,000. We entered into an escrow agreement with Peijin Wu Hoppe (“Hoppe”), our former director, to set up an escrow fund up to $500,000 as a reserve to indemnify Hoppe from any claim of liability until July 29, 2022, the seventh year anniversary of the termination of Director Retainer Agreement, or any mutual agreement with the Company and Hoppe.

·	Biological assets

Biological assets are measured at their fair value less costs to sell at each reporting date. The fair value is determined as the net present value of cash flows expected to be generated by these crops (including a risk adjustment factor). Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, biological assets are measured at cost.

The valuation takes into account expected sales prices, yields, picked fruit quality and expected direct costs related to the production and sale of the assets and management must make a judgment as to the trend in these factors.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

(Unaudited)

·	Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

Categories	Location of properties	Expected useful life
Freehold plantation land and orchard	Oil palm and durian plantation in Malaysia	Indefinite, as per land titles
Leasehold land under development	Leasehold land in Puncak Alam, Malaysia	Remaining lease life of 88 years, as per land titles
Freehold land under development	Freehold land in Sungai Long, Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia	Indefinite, as per land titles
Freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose commercial building	Land portion of 15 story buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia	Indefinite, as per property titles
Building structure and improvements	Building structure of commercial buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, including: 12 story building “Megan Avenue” and 15 story building	33 years
Office furniture and equipment		3-10 years
Motor vehicle		5 years
Bearer plants	Oil palm and durian plantation in Malaysia	50 years

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.

Bearer plants consist of replanting costs of durian such as soil amendments, cultivation, fertilization and purchase costs of sapling. Costs related to durian development projects on our plantation land, are capitalized during the sapling, developing and planting durian fruit and when the harvests are substantially available for commercial sale. The bearer plants will then commence to be depreciated as components of plantation costs and expenses.

Deferred development costs for oil palms that had been capitalized as part of freehold plantation land were not amortized over the useful life of the oil palms since these costs were not separately identifiable from the cost of freehold plantation land and buildings when the whole oil palm plantation was purchased in July 2011.

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold plantation land, leasehold land held for development, freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose and building structure and improvements. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we generally conduct our annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.

We have separately identified the portion of freehold land and building structure, in which freehold land is not subject to amortization and buildings are to be amortized over 33 years on a straight-line method, based on applicable local laws and practice.

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Real Estate in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, there was no such capitalized interest.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. We adopt the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest – Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate - General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

We capitalize leasing costs which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortizes them over the related lease term.

·	Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition applicable from 1 November 2018

We recognize our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, usually upon delivery of palm oil fruit bunches and durian fruits. There are no significant payments terms, no significant financing component or any variable consideration. All of our revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognised in one geographical market in Malaysia, and one major product line, and plantation sales are transferred at a point in time.

Revenue recognition applicable until 31 October 2019

We recognize our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its plantation products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. Our sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.

The sale is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of produces and transported to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectability is reasonably assured. For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, sales from plantation was $62,617 and $36,399, respectively.

(b) Rental income

We generally lease the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $411,959 and $409,089 in lease revenue, based upon its annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “Real Estate – General – Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 970-605”).

We expect to record approximately $1.62 million in annual lease revenue under the operating lease arrangements in the next twelve months through January 31, 2021.

·	Rental concession

We lease retail and office spaces to the tenants under operating lease arrangements. We receive rental income over a stated period of time from the real estate properties it leased out. Rental income is recognized over the life of the operating lease agreement as it is earned in the period under ASC Topic 970-605. The typical leases contain initial terms of one to two years with renewal options and do not contain escalating rent amounts. Under the lease agreement of Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC, the initial term of lease is one year. Provided that there are no existing breaches by the tenant, an irrecoverable annual renewal option is granted for up to twenty-nine years, with a maximum aggregate term of thirty years. Six-months’ rent-free period under the operating lease agreement is treated as long-term rent concession, which is being amortized as an offset to revenues collected over the term of the underlying lease of 30 years on a straight-line basis.

·	Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments held at the balance sheet date. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·	Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests represent the equity interest in the capital contributions, income and loss of less than wholly-owned and consolidated entities that is not attributable to us.

·	Income taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

We conduct major businesses in Malaysia and is subject to tax in our own jurisdiction. As a result of our business activities, we will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the local and foreign tax authorities.

·	Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

Our reporting currency is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, we maintain our books and record in the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), which is the functional currency, as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from our local currency into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

	As of and for the period ended January 31,
	2020		2019
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate		4.0916		4.0895
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate		4.1242		4.1546

·	Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if we have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

·	Segment reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with our internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, we operated in two reportable operating segments in Malaysia.

·	Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease, long-term bank loans and marketable securities at fair value): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, amount due to a related party and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease and long-term bank loans approximates the carrying amount.

We also follow the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

·	Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
·	Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
·	Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

The following table summarizes information on the fair value measurement of our financial assets as of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, measured at fair value, grouped by the categories described above:

	Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
As of January 31, 2020
Marketable securities at fair value	$	186,941	$	–	$	–

As of October 31, 2019
Marketable securities at fair value	$	186,835	$	–	$	–

As of January 31, 2020, we did not have any non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did we have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

·	Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10—Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases which clarifies and corrects unintended application of narrow aspects of the lease accounting guidance. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, we submitted a request to convert some of its planned semi-detached and bungalow home parcels into cluster semi-detached homes to improve the marketability of our proposed development. On March 4, 2016, we received notification from the Kuala Selangor District Council that its revised Development Order relating to the Puncak Alam land was approved on February 24, 2016.

Pursuant to an 8-K filed on July 1, 2016, PGCG Assets entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Yong Tai Berhad, a public listed corporation in the main market of Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“YTB”) engaged in the business of commercial and residential property development, to jointly develop the land (the “Land”) located at Puncak Alam (the “Proposed JV”). The parties terminated the MOU on February 15, 2017, in accordance with the terms of a Mutual Termination of Memorandum of Understanding (the “Termination MOU”). The parties further confirmed that there was no monetary payment due to either party pursuant to the MOU or the Termination MOU.

In light of the termination of the Proposed JV with YTB, we plan to develop, market, promote and complete the construction on its own. As at the date of this report, due to market forces, the Company plan to begin construction by the end of calendar 2023 to maximize profits. We believe that it will require approximately RM5 to RM10 million in the aggregate to market, promote and complete construction of each phase of our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development Project

During the course of our strategic review of our operations, we assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment. The impairment charge, if any, represented the excess of carrying amounts of our property, plant and equipment over the fair values of the assets. We believe that there was no impairment of our property, plant and equipment as of January 31, 2020.

The net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2031, if unutilized. We have provided for a full valuation allowance of $370,096 (October 31, 2019: $368,112) against the deferred tax assets on the expected future tax benefits from the net operating loss carryforwards as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.

We have adopted ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Income Taxes” and recorded a liability for an uncertain income tax position, tax penalties and any imputed interest thereon. The amount, recorded as an obligation, is $135,000 at January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 (included in accrued liabilities and other payables) in respect of potential tax penalty of the late filing of IRS return and, if recognized, will affect our effective tax rate.

NOTE–11 CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK

(b) Major vendors

For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of our purchases.

All vendors are located in Malaysia.

(c) Credit risk

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. We believe the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. We do not generally require collateral from customers. We evaluate the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

(d) Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest expense incurred on bank borrowings. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio in order to reduce this risk. We have not been exposed nor does we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates.

(e) Exchange rate risk

Our reporting currency is US$. To date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR, and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR. If MYR depreciates against US$, the value of MYR revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. We do not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial foreign exchange risk.

(f) Commodity price

Our primary market risk exposure results from the price we receive for our palm oil product. We do not currently engage in any commodity hedging activities, although we may do so in the future. Realized commodity pricing for our operation is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for palm oil product. Pricing for palm oil product has been volatile and unpredictable in recent years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The prices we receive for operation depend on many factors outside of its control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable commodity index price.

(g) Malaysian real estate market risk

Our real estate business may be affected by market conditions and economic challenges experienced by the economy as a whole in Malaysia, conditions in the credit markets or by local economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located. Such conditions may impact our results of operations, financial condition or ability to expand its operations.

(h) Market risk related to marketable securities

We are also exposed to the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments, caused by fluctuations in equity prices related to marketable securities. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in earnings and cash flows.

NOTE–12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Operating lease commitment

As of January 31, 2020, we occupied our own building premises and has no future minimum rental payments due under various operating leases in the next twelve months.

Challenges From Oil Palm Planting Operations

The oil palm business is a highly regulated industry with prices subject to wide fluctuations due to factors beyond our control such as weather conditions, competition, global demand and government policies.

We focus mainly on maintenance and operation of our oil palm plantation in Malaysia. We believe that the value of our oil palm plantation has increased since its acquisition, and while we have not pursued any discussions or received any formal offers regarding the sale of our plantation, we may consider sales offers in the future if a sale would maximize return to our investors.

Challenges From Durian Planting Operations

We commenced planting of premium durian, of the “Musang King” variety, in the first quarter of calendar year 2014. As of the date of this report, we have replanted approximately 180 acres of our oil palm with premium durian trees. We planted an average of 30 trees per acre and anticipate an average production of 35-50 grade A fruits per tree for each of the two harvesting seasons per year.

Since 2016, we have used the latest planting technology to reduce the maturity time of the durian tree from 5 years to 3 years. The durian trees planted during the first phase have begun to bear fruits, and our first major harvest occurred in July 2019. We expect the second and third phase to begin bearing fruit by 2021 and the fourth phase by 2023, at the latest.

Challenges From Real Estate Operations

Commercial Buildings

We generate rental income from our 12 storey and 15 storey commercial properties and anticipate generating income from the sale of developed properties. As of January 31, 2019, we occupy 2 floors of our 12 storey commercial building as our corporate headquarters, 6 floors have been leased to tenants at market rate. The balance of the 4 floors are currently vacant and we are actively attempting to lease these 4 floors.

Our 15 story building is fully leased to Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC which operates a boutique hotel on the premises. The Rental Agreement has an initial term of one (1) year commencing December 1, 2018 and expiring November 30, 2019. Provided that there are no existing breaches by Le Apple, we will be required to renew the lease for additional one-year terms up to twenty-four years, for a maximum aggregate term of thirty years. The monthly rental rate shall be increased every three years at an increment rate of 5% to 10% of the current monthly rental rate, or shall be based on the prevailing market rate, whichever is lower. Our current rental rate has increased from RM400,000 to RM550,000 (approximately $131,520) from April 1, 2018.

Residential Property Development

On June 10, 2015, we received approval to develop our leasehold land located in Puncak Alam. Due to challenges in the current Malaysian real property market, in November 2015, we submitted a request to convert some of the planned semi-detached and bungalow home parcels into cluster semi-detached homes to improve the marketability of the development. received the approval for the revised development plan on March 4, 2016.

32

On July 1, 2016, PGCG Assets entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Yong Tai Berhad, a public listed corporation in the main market of Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“YTB”) engaged in the business of commercial and residential property development, to jointly develop the Company’s land (the “Land”) located at Puncak Alam (the “Proposed JV”). The MOU was terminated on February 15, 2017, pursuant to the terms of a Mutual Termination of Memorandum of Understanding (the “Termination MOU”). In light of the termination of the Proposed JV with YTB, the Company intend to develop, market, promote and complete the construction on their own. Due to market forces, the Company’s plan to begin construction by the end of calendar 2023, to maximize profits.

We believe that we will require approximately RM5 to RM10 million in the aggregate to market, promote and complete construction of each phase of our Shah Alam 2 Eco Residential Development Project.

On September 8, 2016, the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry of Malaysia announced the introduction of an initiative that will enable property developers to provide loans to buyers at an annual interest rate between 12 and 18 percent. Developers will be able to begin applying to the ministry on September 8, 2016, for a moneylending license. It is our understanding that loans made pursuant to such license will not be restricted to first time homebuyers.

We are considering applying for such money lender’s license to enable us to provide financing to prospective buyers of our future properties. If we apply and are successful in obtaining such license, we hope that we will be able to boost sales of our properties that we have earmarked for development.

We continue to maintain a cautious but positive outlook for the residential market based upon Malaysia’s stable employment outlook, growth in household income, formation of new households, and increased demand for affordable residential property from first time home buyers. Developers such as us are facing challenges of inconsistent supply and high cost of labour, increased costs of building materials (such as cement and steel bars) and general increased costs of doing business. The real estate market is also sensitive to changes in lending rates and lending requirements as many homebuyers rely on financing to make purchases. As a result, government or bank policies that result in increased interest rates and or stricter lending requirements may adversely affect the sales of developed properties.

Comparison of the three months ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019

Net Revenue. We generated net revenue of $ and $445,488 for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to the increase in our real estate revenue, offset by a decrease in our plantation revenue. The decrease in plantation revenue for the quarter ended January 31, 2020, is primarily attributable to the decrease of oil palm price. The primary increase in real estate revenue is attributable to the recovery of monthly rental rate from RM400,000 to RM550,000 (approximately $131,520) from the tenant of fifteen story building, Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC, effective from April 1, 2018. The monthly rental rate on Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC was previously decreased from the initial rental rate of RM550,000 to RM400,000 due to unfavourable market conditions.

For the three months ended January 31, 2020, our plantation and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 13% and 87% of the net revenue, respectively. For the three months ended January 31, 2019, our plantation and real estate businesses accounted for approximately 8.2% and 91.8% of our net revenue, respectively.

Our real estate related revenues are derived from the tenants from our commercial buildings. We generally expect our real estate related revenues to gradually account for an increasing share of our net revenue in the future as we begin real estate development and sales activities.

During the three months ended January 31, 2020, and 2019, the following customers accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenues:

Cost of Revenue. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2020, cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was approximately 33.0% as compared to 33% for the same period ended January 31, 2019. Cost of plantation and real estate as a percentage of their respective net revenue was approximately 23.9% and 34.4%, respectively, for the quarter ended January 31, 2020. For the three months ended January 31, 2019, cost of plantation and real estate as a percentage of their respective net revenue was approximately 58.2% and 30.7%, respectively. Cost of revenue of our oil palm plantation consists of costs such as material supplies, subcontracting costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the oil palm tree. Transportation and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh fruit bunches to the customers are also included in cost of revenues. The cost of revenue of the plantation business decreased due to the decrease in costs from the oil palm and durian plantation. The cost of real estate revenue increased due to the increase in the revenue of our real estate business.

34

For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of our purchases.

Gross Profit. For the three months ended January 31, 2020, we achieved gross profit of $317,678 as compared to $298,563 for the three months ended January 31, 2019. For the three months ended January 31, 2020, our plantation and real estate operations accounted for approximately 15% and 85% of our gross profit, respectively. For the three months ended January 31, 2019, our plantation and real estate operations accounted for approximately 5.1% and 94.9% of our gross profit, respectively.

Once we begin real estate development, we expect gross profit derived from our real estate business to gradually increase as we commence sales activities with respect to our developed properties. We also expect our plantation revenue to increase once our premium durian orchard has matured and is able to produce grade A fruits for distribution.

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). We incurred G&A expenses of $114,659 and $122,934 for the three months ended January 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The decrease in G&A was primarily attributable to the reduced cost of insurance and compensation, and maintenance services.

As a general matter, we expect our G&A to increase in the foreseeable future as we begin development of our real estate assets. G&A as a percentage of gross revenue was approximately 24.2% and 27.6% for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Expense, net. We incurred net other expense of $174,294 for the three months ended January 31, 2020, as compared to net other expense of $189,276 for the three months ended January 31, 2019. Net other expense for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted primarily of interest expense from our bank loans.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $56,996 and income tax income of $50,161 for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our income tax was primarily attributable to the tax effect of non-business source rental income. The increase in income tax expense is primarily attributable to operating profit in real estate business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $192,712, as compared to $155,845 as of the same period last year. Our cash and cash equivalents increased as a result of receiving new bank loans.

We expect to incur significantly greater expenses in the near future, including the contractual obligations that have assumed as discussed below, when development activities begin. We also expect the general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our finance and administrative staff, and add infrastructure.

We also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our finance and administrative staff, add infrastructure, and incur additional costs related to being a large accelerated filer, including directors’ and officers’ insurance and increased professional fees.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not paid dividends on Common Stock. Our present policy is to apply cash to investments in product development, acquisitions or expansion; consequently, do not expect to pay dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

35

Going Concern Uncertainties

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions and public offerings, capital leases and short-term and long-term debts. While we believe that we will obtain external financing and the existing shareholders will continue to provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash and other sources of liquidity discussed below are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months.

	Three months ended January 31,
	2020			2019
Net cash used in operating activities		(100,982	)		(117,450	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(40,364	)		(28,476	)
Net cash (used in) / provided by financing activities		(95,984	)		(207,174	)

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities.

For the three months ended January 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $100,982, which consisted primarily of a net income (excluding non-cash depreciation) of $91,460, offset by an increase in income tax payable of $15,169.

For the three months ended January 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $117,450, which consisted primarily of a net income (excluding non-cash depreciation) of $56,134, offset by a decrease in income tax payable of $172,789.

We expect rental income from our real estate operations to increase as we increase the occupancy rates of our commercial buildings, which will be offset by the increased expenses associated with developing our residential projects. We expect to continue to rely on cash generated through private placements of our securities, however, to finance our operations and future acquisitions.

Net Cash Used in/Provided By Investing Activities.

For the three months ended January 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $40,364, consisting of $25,855 of plantation development construction costs, and cost of purchase of bearer plants of $14,509.

For the three months ended January 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $28,476, consisting of $14,756 of cost of purchase of bearer plants and cost of purchase of property, plant and equipment of $13,720.

We expect investing cash outflows to increase when our durian plantation matures and begins to generate revenues in 2020 at the earliest. We also expect investing cash outflows to increase due to expenditures associated with developing our residential projects.

36

Net Cash (Used in) / Provided by Financing Activities.

For the three months ended January 31, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $95,984, consisting primarily of proceeds from a new loan of $21,451and advances of $89,729 from [ Weng Kung Wong, our Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Secretary and director], and offset by repayment of $164,262 on outstanding bank loans.

For the three months ended January 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $207,174, consisting primarily of repayments of $59,909 to Weng Kung Wong, our Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Secretary and director, and repayments of $147,265 on outstanding bank loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of January 31, 2020:

Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years
		$		$		$		$		$
Amounts due to related parties		1,719,207		86,420		1,632,787		–		–
Commercial commitments Bank loan repayment		14,754,016		742,942		1,618,583		1,813,136		10,579,355
Total obligations		16,473,223		829,362		3,251,370		1,813,136		10,579,355

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.

37

·	Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We extend unsecured credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. We will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers. Based upon the aforementioned criteria, we did not write off accounts receivable on uncollectible rental receivable at January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019.

·	Marketable securities at fair value

Marketable securities at fair value are reported at fair value using the market approach based on the quoted prices in active markets at the reporting date. We classify the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1 of fair value measurements. Any unrealized losses that are deemed other-than-temporary are included in current period earnings and removed from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are included in current period earnings. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses, the cost basis of each investment sold is generally based on the weighted average cost method.

We regularly evaluate whether the decline in fair value of fair-value-sale securities is other-than-temporary and objective evidence of impairment could include:

	·	The severity and duration of the fair value decline;
	·	Deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer; and
	·	Evaluation of the factors that could cause individual securities to have an other-than-temporary impairment.

During the years ended October 31, 2019, and 2018, we invested in equity securities listed on Bursa Malaysia with a total cost of $265,606 and escrow funds (which invested in equity securities listed in the U.S.) with a total cost of $200,000. We entered into an escrow agreement with Peijin Wu Hoppe (“Hoppe”), our former director, to set up an escrow fund up to $500,000 as a reserve to indemnify Hoppe from any claim of liability until July 29, 2022, the seventh year anniversary of the termination of Director Retainer Agreement, or any mutual agreement with Hoppe and us. The unrealized gain representing the change in fair value of $14,294 and the unrealized loss of $50,830 was charged against accumulated other comprehensive income for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

·	Biological assets

Biological assets are measured at their fair value less costs to sell at each reporting date. The fair value is determined as the net present value of cash flows expected to be generated by these crops (including a risk adjustment factor). Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, biological assets are measured at cost.

The valuation takes into account expected sales prices, yields, picked fruit quality and expected direct costs related to the production and sale of the assets and management must make a judgment as to the trend in these factors.

38

·	Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational:

Categories	Location of properties	Expected useful life
Freehold plantation land and orchard	Oil palm and durian plantation in Malaysia	Indefinite, as per land titles
Leasehold land under development	Leasehold land in Puncak Alam, Malaysia	Remaining lease life of 88 years, as per land titles
Freehold land under development	Freehold land in Sungai Long, Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia	Indefinite, as per land titles
Freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose commercial building	Land portion of 15 storey buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia	Indefinite, as per property titles
Building structure and improvements	Building structure of commercial buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, including: 12 storey building “Megan Avenue” and 15 storey building	33 years
Office furniture and equipment		3-10 years
Motor vehicle		5 years
Bearer plants	Oil palm and durian plantation in Malaysia	50 years

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.

Bearer plants consist of replanting costs of durian such as soil amendments, cultivation, fertilization and purchase costs of sapling. Costs related to durian development projects on our plantation land, are capitalized during the sapling, developing and planting durian fruit bunches and when the harvests are substantially available for commercial sale. The bearer plants will then commence to be depreciated as components of plantation costs and expenses.

Deferred development costs for oil palms that had been capitalized as part of freehold plantation land were not amortized over the useful life of the oil palms since these costs were not separately identifiable from the cost of freehold plantation land and buildings when the whole oil palm plantation was purchased in July 2011.

Long-lived assets primarily include freehold plantation land, leasehold land held for development, freehold land and land improvement for rental purpose and building structure and improvements. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we generally conduct our annual impairment evaluation to our long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.

We have separately identified the portion of freehold land and building structure, in which freehold land is not subject to amortization and buildings are to be amortized over 33 years on a straight-line method, based on applicable local laws and practice.

39

Policy for Capitalizing Development Cost

The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Real Estate in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. As of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, there was no such capitalized interest.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. We adopt the capitalization policy on development properties, which is guided by ASC Topic 835-20 “Interest – Capitalization of Interest” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate - General”. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

We capitalize leasing costs which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortize them over the related lease term.

·	Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition applicable from 1 November 2018

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, usually upon delivery of palm oil fruit bunches and durian fruits. There are no significant payments terms, no significant financing component or any variable consideration. All of the company’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognised in one geographical market in Malaysia, and one major product line, and plantation sales are transferred at a point in time.

Revenue recognition applicable until 31 October 2018

We recognize our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of our plantation products when: (1) title and risk of loss are transferred; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable. Our sale arrangements do not contain general rights of return.

(a) Plantation sales

Revenue from plantation sales include the sale of palm oil fruit bunches and sale of durian fruits. The sale is recognized upon confirmation of the weight of produces and transported to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale, and collectability is reasonably assured. For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, sales from plantation was $62,617 and $36,399, respectively.

40

(b) Rental income

We generally lease the units under operating leases with terms of two years or less. For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, we have recorded $411,959 and $409,089 in lease revenue, based upon our annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using the straight-line method in accordance with ASC Topic 970-605, “Real Estate – General – Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 970-605”).

As of January 31, 2020, the commercial buildings for lease are as follows:

Name of Commercial building

Number of units

0%

We expect to record approximately $1.62 million in annual lease revenue under the operating lease arrangements in the next twelve months through January 31, 2021.

·	Cost of revenues

Cost of revenue on plantation sales includes material supplies, subcontracting costs and transportation costs incurred for planting, fertilizing and harvesting the oil palm fruit bunches and durian trees. Transportation and handling costs associated with the distribution of fresh oil palm fruit bunches and durian fruits to the customers are also included in cost of revenues.

Cost related to our real estate business shown on the accompanying statements of operations include costs associated with land tax, on-site and property management personnel, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, marketing, landscaping and other on-site and related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.

·	Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation and cumulative net change in the fair value of available-for-sale investments held at the balance sheet date. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·	Income taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

41

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

We conduct major businesses in Malaysia and are subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of our business activities, we will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the local tax authorities.

·	Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, we maintain our books and record in a local currency, and Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

	As of and for the period ended January 31,
	2020		2019
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate		4.0916		4.0895
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate		4.1242		4.1546

·	Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if we have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

42

·	Segment reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with our internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. During the period ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, we operate in two reportable operating segments in Malaysia.

·	Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments (excluding obligation under finance lease, long-term bank loans and marketable securities at fair value): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, amount due to a related party and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of our obligation under finance lease and long-term bank loans approximates the carrying amount.

We also follow the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

·	Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
·	Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
·	Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

The following table summarizes information on the fair value measurement of our financial assets as of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, measured at fair value, grouped by the categories described above:

	Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
As of January 31, 2020
Marketable securities at fair value	$	186,941	$	–	$	–

As of October 31, 2019
Marketable securities at fair value	$	186,835	$	–	$	–

As of January 31, 2020, the Company did not have any non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did we have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

43

·	Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10—Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases which clarifies and corrects unintended application of narrow aspects of the lease accounting guidance. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11—Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements which simplifies transition requirements and, for lessors, provides a practical expedient for the non separation of non-lease components from lease components if certain conditions are met. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02. The practical expedient may be elected either in the first reporting period following the issuance of this Update or at the original effective date of Topic 842 for that entity.
