FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Portions of this Form 10-K, including disclosure under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Periodic Report on Form 10-K, including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” or “should,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements, except as expressly required by law.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware of the possibility of known and unknown events, some of which are described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations. Unless otherwise stated, references in this Form 10-K “we”, the “Company,” “us” or “New Century”, refer to New Century Resources Corporation . References in this Form 10-K, unless another date is stated are to December 31, 2016.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Development

New Century Resources Corporation (the "Company", "our", "us" or "we") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah in July of 1979 as WEM Petroleum, Inc. To fund its original business purpose, WEM Petroleum, Inc. filed a registration statement under the Utah Securities Act, and relied on the exemption from federal registration provided for in Section 3(a)11, Rule 147, of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the purpose of offering for sale an aggregate of 4,000,000 of its unregistered common shares on an intrastate basis. The Issuer's Prospectus was declared effective on September 19, 1979 and the Company closed its offering with all shares offered sold to residents of the State of Utah for gross proceeds of $100,000. The Company subsequently amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase in its capital from 10,000,000 common shares authorized to 50,000,000 common shares authorized. From inception through 1981, the Company conducted operations in the oil and gas industry. Pursuant to an option granted the Company in August of 1979, the Company exercised its right to drill exploratory wells on 640 acres in Cache County, Utah. Although various wells were drilled and completed, the Company did not realize any revenues from these oil and gas operations. In 1984, the Company attempted to refocus its business efforts into the mining industry by entering into an option to lease property and mining equipment in Montana. It ceased any significant business operations in the latter part of the 1980's when it failed to exercise the option, due to lack of funding. In 1988, the Company made an effort to commence conducting business again by expanding its business purpose to include the marketing and development of high-tech products. The Company's Board was also authorized to seek out suitable candidates for acquisition or merger. In addition, the Company authorized a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares one (1) share for ten (10) shares, although the same was never affected. The Company ceased doing business until late 1993.
In October 1993, the Corporation changed its name to New Century Resources Corporation, acquiring 100% of the outstanding stock of G.C. Gulf Western Trading Limited (G.C.) in exchange for 7,200,000 shares of stock, which gave the stockholders of G.C. control of the Corporation by which it has conducted its operations. This acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger or recapitalization of G.C. No goodwill or other write-up to fair market value of the assets of G.C. occurred at the time of the merger. In 1994, the company was re-domiciled in the state of Nevada. The Nevada entity became the surviving corporation and the Utah Corporation was dissolved on February 14, 1994. As a result of the merger/change of domicile, the Articles of Incorporation of the Nevada entity became the Articles of the Company.
The Company divested itself of its 100% owned subsidiary G.C. on December 12, 2000, thereby eliminating the Trekkopje mining claims, a capitalized cost of $10,533,252, the related liabilities amounting to $8,500,000 from its acquisition, the note payable to its principal stockholder, which aggregated, came to a total of $1,046,640, and any claims to accrued interest. This divestiture was the unanimous decision of the board of directors, which was based in part, upon the Corporation's inability to raise the necessary capital to fund the exploration and development of the Trekkopje Uranium reserves. In addition, a feasibility study conducted by Dr. Brian Hamilton Jones played crucial role in their decision making process, concluding that, due to the current Uranium market, exploitation of the Uranium reserves on the property would not be financially viable, and did not foresee any immediate or mid-term prospects in world market conditions and pricing which would lead to a pricing level justifiable of the exploitation of the Uranium reserves.
The Company has no commitments, understandings, or agreements with regard to any proposed business operations or opportunities. It is the intention of Management to actively solicit interested third parties who may be interested in acquiring a controlling interest in what is essentially a "shell" corporation. Such transactions are commonly referred to as "reverse mergers", whereby the Company would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of a private entity in exchange for a controlling interest in the public company. No assurance can be given that Management of the Company will be successful in attracting a suitable candidate for this type of transaction or some other type of business combination; or what time frame might be involved in consummating any such transaction.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as if the Company had its corporate capital structure as of December 12, 2000.
Upon the disposition, the Company re-entered the business development stage and accumulated deficits during the business development stage are reported effective as of January 1, 2005.

Business of Issuer
Our discussion of the proposed business under this caption and throughout this Registration Statement is purposefully general and is not meant to restrict our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
Based on proposed business activities, we are a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we also qualify as a "shell company," because we have no (or nominal) assets other than cash and no (or nominal) operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions.
No trading market currently exists for our securities, and management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, or to register any securities under the Securities Act or state blue sky laws or the regulations thereunder until we have successfully concluded a business combination. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.
As of the most recent audited period, we have generated no revenues or earnings from operations and possess no significant assets or financial resources. As of December 31, 2016, we had $0 cash on hand. Also, our independent auditor’s report expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We were originally organized as a company that conducted operations in the oil and gas industry; however, we are currently seeking a business opportunity. Currently we are a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may combine with any type of business that management believes to offer the greatest opportunity.
We have conducted limited business operations since our inception, and expect to conduct no operations in the future, other than our efforts to effectuate a business combination. We, therefore, can be characterized as a "shell" corporation. As a "shell" corporation, we face risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. Further, as a "development stage" or "start-up" company, we face all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties related to such companies, including whether we will continue to be a going concern entity for the foreseeable future.
There are no acquisitions, business combinations, or mergers pending or which have occurred involving the Company. Presently, we have no plans, proposals, agreements, understandings or arrangements of any kind or nature whatsoever to acquire or merge with any specific business or company, and we have not identified any specific business or company for investigation and evaluation.
Upon the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, we will commence the search for a suitable target business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, our officers and directors, and by our shareholders. In our efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, we will consider the following types of factors:
| · | Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products; |
| · | Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole; |
6
| · | Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment; |
| · | Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources; |
| · | The cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials; |
| · | The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced; |
| · | The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and |
| · | Other relevant factors. |
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the merger or acquisition opportunity.
We anticipate that we will locate and make contact with target businesses primarily through the reputation and efforts of our shareholders and directors, who will meet with existing management and key personnel, visit and inspect material facilities, assets, products and services belonging to such prospects, or undertake such reasonable investigation as deemed appropriate. The Company has a network of business contacts, and we anticipate that prospective target businesses will be referred to us through this network of contacts.
In connection with our evaluation of a prospective target business, the Company will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial or other information which will be made available to us. The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business, including conducting a due diligence review, negotiating relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable Federal securities laws, state blue sky laws, foreign securities laws, if any, and corporation laws cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty.
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable and may reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a business combination or for the resulting entity to utilize. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred.
We presently have no employees apart from our management. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.
Our officers and directors are engaged in outside business activities and anticipate that they will devote to the business very limited time until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. However, our officers and directors will devote such time as is reasonably necessary to carry out the business and affairs of the Company, including, the evaluation of potential target businesses and the negotiation of a business combination, and, as a result, the amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether we have identified a target business or are engaged in active negotiations of a business combination.
Other than that certain convertible promissory note issued to George Christodoulou on January 8, 2012 in the principal amount of $8,500 accruing interest at 10% per annum for a period of two years, convertible into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at par value and that certain convertible promissory note issued to Robert J. Nielson on January 8, 2012 in principal amount of $7,622 accruing interest at 10% per annum for a period of two years, convertible into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at par value, we have no other commitments as of the date of this registration statement to issue any shares of common stock, preferred stock, options or warrants or other equity consideration. We will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional securities in connection with the consummation of a business combination. To the extent that such additional securities are issued, dilution to the interests of our shareholders will inevitably occur. Additionally, if a substantial number of shares of common stock are issued in connection with the consummation of a business combination, a change in our control will occur which will also likely affect, among other things, our ability to utilize net operating loss carry forwards, if any.
Any such change in control will likely result in the resignation or removal of our officers and directors. If there is a change in the people serving as our officers and directors, no assurance can be given as to the experience or qualifications of our new management. Our majority shareholder, Mr. George Christodoulou, considers it likely that in order to consummate a business combination, a change in control will ultimately occur; therefore, he anticipates offering not less than a controlling interest to a target business in order to effectuate a business combination. This will require the consent of our majority shareholder, Mr. Christodoulou, to achieve.
Our majority shareholder may actively negotiate for or otherwise consent to the disposition of any portion of his common stock as a condition to or in connection with a business combination. Therefore, it is possible that the terms of any business combination will provide for the sale of all or any portion of the shares of common stock owned beneficially by our majority shareholder. If we have additional shareholders at the time a business combination is effected, it is possible that none of our other shareholders other than our current majority shareholder will be afforded the right to sell their shares of common stock in connection with a business combination pursuant to the same terms that our current shareholders will be provided.
There are currently no limitations relating to our ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to us to effect a business combination or otherwise finance the operations of the target business. However, our limited resources and lack of operating history could make it difficult for us to borrow additional funds from other sources. The amount and nature of any borrowings by us will depend on numerous considerations, including our capital requirements, potential lenders' evaluation of our ability to meet debt service on borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. We do not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that such arrangements, if required or otherwise sought, would be available on terms commercially acceptable or otherwise in our best interests. Our inability to borrow funds required to effect or facilitate a business combination, or to provide funds for an additional infusion of capital into a target business, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to effect a business combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest. Furthermore, a target business may have already incurred debt financing and, therefore, all the risks inherent thereto.
If our securities are issued as part of an acquisition, such securities are required to be issued either in reliance upon exemptions from registration under applicable Federal or state securities laws or registered for public distribution. We intend to primarily target only those companies where an exemption from registration would be available; however, since the structure of the business combination has yet to be determined, no assurances can be made that we will be able to rely on such exemptions. Registration of securities typically requires significant costs and time delays are typically encountered. In addition, the issuance of additional securities and their potential sale in any trading market which might develop in our common stock, of which there is presently no trading market and no assurances can be given that one will develop, could depress the price of our common stock in any market which may develop in our common stock. Further, such issuance of additional securities would result in a decrease in the percentage ownership of our shareholders.
Due to our small size and limited amount of capital, our ability to raise additional capital, if and when needed, could be constrained. Until such time as any enterprise, product or service which we acquire generates revenues sufficient to cover operating costs, it is conceivable that we could find ourselves in a situation where we need additional funds in order to continue our operations. This need could arise at a time when we are unable to borrow funds and when market acceptance for the sale of additional shares of our common stock does not exist. See Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation".
We have neither the present intention, nor does the present potential exist for us, to consummate a business combination with a target business in which our officers and directors or their affiliates or associates, directly or indirectly, have a pecuniary interest, although no existing corporate policies would prevent this from occurring. Although there are no current plans to do so, we may engage the services of professional firms that specialize in finding business acquisitions and pay a finder's fee or other compensation. Since we have no current plans to utilize any outside consultants or advisors to assist in a business combination, no policies have been adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service, or regarding the total amount of fees that may be paid. However, because of our limited resources, it is likely that any such fee we agree to pay would be paid in cash and/or shares of our common stock. In no event will we pay a finder's fee or commission to any officer or director or to any entity with which they are affiliated for such service. Moreover, in no event shall we issue any of our securities to any of our officers, directors, or promoters, if any, or any of their respective affiliates or associates, in connection with activities designed to locate a target business.
Investment Company Act and Other Regulation
We may participate in a business combination by purchasing, trading or selling the securities of such target business. We do not, however, intend to engage primarily in such activities. Specifically, we intend to conduct our activities so as to avoid being classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Act"), and, therefore, to avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
We will not enter into any business combination until the target business has obtained the requisite audited financial statements required to be included in a report on Form 8-K to be filed by us with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of Form 8-K, the Exchange Act, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
No assurances are given that subsequent to such a business combination that a trading market in our securities will develop, or, if such a trading market is developed, that it can be maintained with liquidity. We presently have 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized; none of these shares are currently issued and outstanding. We presently have 200,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which, 12,481,724 shares of common stock are currently issued and outstanding. As of the date hereof, other than mentioned herein, we have not provided to any shareholder registration rights to register under the Securities Act any shares of common stock of the Company. See "Market Price of and Dividends on the Company’s Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters".
We cannot estimate the time that it will take to effectuate a business combination. It could be time consuming, and possibly in excess of many months or years. Additionally, no assurance can be made that we will be able to effectuate a business combination on favorable terms, or, if such a business combination can be effected at all. We might identify and effectuate a business combination with a target business which proves to be unsuccessful for any number of reasons, many of which are due to the fact that the target business is not identified at this time. If this occurs, the Company and its shareholders might not realize any type of profit.
No assurances can be given that we will be able to enter into a business combination, as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the nature of the target company.
7
Form of Acquisition
The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of our company and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of our company and such promoters. Until we find such opportunity, we cannot state how the transaction will be structured or the sum required to consummate the acquisition or reverse merger. We anticipate that the Company would issue shares to the target company making the target company’s shareholders the majority shareholders of New Century Resources Corporation. It is possible that some New Century Resources Corporation shareholders will sell some or all of their shares in a private transaction in connection with the merger or acquisition. However, until a target is identified and a definitive agreement entered, it is impossible to state what the terms of the transaction might be or the amount required to consummate the transaction.
As a general rule, federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of business combinations. We will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective business combination and will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment for us, the target business and their respective stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our proposed tax treatment of a particular business combination.
It is likely that we will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of our own stock or other securities of our company. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of our company prior to such reorganization.
To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in re-characterizing the tax treatment of a business combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to us, the target business and their respective stockholders. Tax considerations, as well as other relevant factors, will be evaluated in determining the precise structure of a particular business combination, which could be effected through various forms of a merger, consolidation or stock or asset acquisition.
Our present stockholders will likely not have control of a majority of the voting shares following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of our directors may resign and new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders, other than our current stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving our company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.
We believe the sum required to consummate our acquisition or reverse merger is not determinable until the Company knows the terms of the transaction. The amount of cash the Company has on hand as of December 31, 2016 is $0. Such acquisition or reverse merger may be costly. We currently have very limited resources with which to complete the acquisition or reverse merger, and we have no cash to complete the acquisition or reverse merger.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common stock has not been registered with the SEC or any state securities agency or authority. No public trading market presently exists for our shares of common stock, and there are no present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person with regard to the development of any trading market in any of our securities. No assurances can be made that a trading market for our common stock will ever develop. No shares of common stock have been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state. The holders of shares of common stock, and persons who may desire to purchase shares of common stock in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of shareholders to sell their shares and of purchasers to purchase the shares of common stock. Some jurisdictions may not allow the trading or resale of blind pool or "blank-check" securities under any circumstances. Accordingly, shareholders should consider the secondary market for our securities to be an extremely limited market for the resale of our securities, until such time that a trading market for our shares of common stock has developed, if any.
There are 403 shareholders of our common stock, holding a total of 12,481,724 shares. On January 8, 2012, George Christodoulou entered into a convertible promissory note with the Company in the principal amount of $8,500 accruing interest at 10% per annum for a period of two years, convertible into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 8, 2012, Robert J. Nielson entered into a convertible promissory note with the Company in the principal amount of $7,622 accruing interest at 10% per annum for a period of two years, convertible into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock. All of these shares are "restricted securities", as that term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company has not provided to any shareholder registration rights to register under the Securities Act any shareholder's shares for sale.
Neither the Company, nor our officers or directors have, at the present time, any plans, proposals, arrangements, understandings or intention of selling any unissued or outstanding shares of common stock in the public market subsequent to a business combination. Nevertheless, in the event that substantial amounts of common stock are sold in the public market subsequent to a business combination, such sales may adversely affect the price for the sale of the Company's equity securities in any trading market which may develop, if at all. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of restricted shares of common stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time, if any.
Dividends
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and do not presently intend to pay cash dividends prior to the consummation of a business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to the consummation of a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our then existing board of directors. It is the present intention of our directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, the board of directors does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
As a smaller reporting company, this information is not required pursuant to Item 301 of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements.
The purpose of this discussion is to provide an understanding of the consolidated financial results and condition of New Century Resources Corporation and to also describe the plans for future growth and expansion.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as current expectations and assumptions. From time to time, we may publish forward-looking statements, including those that are contained in this report, relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, acquisition strategies, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of our business include, but are not limited to, our ability to maintain sufficient working capital, adverse changes in the economy, the ability to attract and maintain key personnel, our ability to implement our business plan. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, including those set forth elsewhere in this report. We assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Although we were organized to engage in oil and gas exploration, we currently are a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.
We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money in our treasury, if any, or with additional money contributed by our stockholders, or another source.
During the next 12 months, we anticipate incurring costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports and costs relating to consummating an acquisition. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.
We have not had any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with us. Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.
Our management anticipates that it will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing, and the dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management's plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
We anticipate that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
In light of our competitive disadvantages, our strategy for successfully identifying and completing business combinations when we are competing with entities that possess great financial, technical and managerial capabilities is as follows.
POTENTIAL TARGET COMPANIES
A business entity, if any, which may be interested in a business combination with the Company may include the following:
| · | a company for which a primary purpose of becoming public is the use of its securities for the acquisition of assets or businesses; |
| · | a company which is unable to find an underwriter of its securities or is unable to find an underwriter of securities on terms acceptable to it; |
| · | a company which wishes to become public with less dilution of its common stock than would occur upon an underwriting; |
| · | a company which believes that it will be able to obtain investment capital on more favorable terms after it has become public; |
8
| · | a foreign company which may wish an initial entry into the United States securities market; |
| · | a special situation company, such as a company seeking a public market to satisfy redemption requirements under a qualified Employee Stock Option Plan; |
| · | a company seeking one or more of the other perceived benefits of becoming a public company. |
It is possible that a potential business opportunity may not be beneficial or desirable for our shareholders. A potential target may not be able to find an underwriter because the business opportunity is too risky, the target does not have significant operations, the target has limited history of operations or many other reasons. As a part of due diligence investigation of any potential target, the Company will assess the desirability of any identified target with regard to the risks it may present.
A business combination with a target company will normally involve the transfer to the target company of the majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, and the substitution by the target company of its own management and board of directors. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to enter into a business combination, as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the nature of the target company.
The Company is seeking to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues. The Company has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not entered into any negotiations regarding such acquisition. The Company’s officers and directors have not engaged in any substantive contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the Company and such other company as of the date of this registration statement.
The Company does not anticipate engaging any professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions but will rely upon the Company’s business contacts and relationships in seeking a suitable acquisition.
As part of our investigation of business opportunities, the Company's management may meet personally with management and key personnel of the firm sponsoring the business opportunity. The Company may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and conduct other reasonable measures.
We will generally ask to be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity. These materials may include the following:
| · | descriptions of product, service and company history; management resumes; |
| · | financial information; |
| · | available projections with related assumptions upon which they are based; |
| · | an explanation of proprietary products and services; |
| · | evidence of existing patents, trademarks or service marks or rights thereto; |
| · | present and proposed forms of compensation to management; |
| · | a description of transactions between the prospective entity and its affiliates; |
| · | relevant analysis of risks and competitive conditions; |
| · | a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; |
| · | and other information deemed relevant. |
9
We believe an acquisition or merger with the Company may be an appealing avenue for a private company seeking to enter the public company sector because the Company intends to apply for a trading symbol and quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and/or OTC Markets. Any private company can file their own registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to become a public company. Once a registration statement is declared effective, the registrant must then provide certain information through a market maker for application for a trading symbol. Both the registration statement process and application for a trading symbol can be lengthy and expensive. Often, a private company will opt to merge with or be acquired by a company that is already public and has a trading symbol in order to reduce the time and expense required to go public on their own.
Any private company that enters a merger or acquisition transaction with the Company must provide all the information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Form 10 registration statement, including audited financial statements, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Form 8-K Current Report within four days of closing the transaction. The private company will incur significant expense in providing the required information.
If the Company enters into a transaction with a private company, it will likely first liquidate the assets and pay off the liabilities so the private company will not receive any benefit of assets currently held by the Company.
The Company will not seek shareholder approval for any merger, acquisition or similar reorganization. Shareholder approval for this type of business opportunity is not required under Nevada law nor is it required by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Shareholder approval will be required if the transaction requires a name change, change in capital structure of the Company, stock splits or any other action that requires shareholder approval under Nevada law or our Articles of Incorporation. In the event shareholder approval is required for actions other than a business opportunity, the Company will prepare, file with the SEC and mail to shareholders the appropriate information statement or proxy statement, if required.
We believe the sum required to consummate our acquisition or reverse merger is not determinable until the Company knows the terms of the transaction. The amount of cash the Company had on hand as of December 31, 2016 is $0. Such acquisition or reverse merger may be costly. We currently have very limited resources with which to complete the acquisition or reverse merger and no cash. If we are able raise any capital, all of our cash may be exhausted prior to or in the process of trying to complete the acquisition or reverse merger.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant 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 is material to stockholders.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
It is the intent of our management and stockholders to provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of our Company as a corporate entity. However, there is no legal obligation for either the majority Shareholder or our key officers to provide additional future funding. If our management and/or key officers ceases to provide us the needed financing and we fail to identify any alternative sources of funding, there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.
We have no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities. As a result, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to us to enable us to pay the expenses related to such activities.
Regardless of whether or not our cash assets prove to be adequate to meet our operational needs, we may seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of our common stock in lieu of cash.
At December 31, 2016, we had no cash assets, $118,534 in liabilities, and an accumulated deficit of $1,891,174. Our primary source of liquidity has been from shareholder advances. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owed $24,162 in notes and related interest and $79,026 in related party advances loaned to the company.
Net cash used in operating activities was $38,574 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $38,574 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Our expenses to date are comprised of professional and regulatory fees that include accounting and legal fees.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015
NET LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
The Company had net losses of $35,098 for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to a net loss of $35,394 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of professional and regulatory fees associated with our reporting requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
New Century Resources Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of New Century Resources Corporation (the "Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 audit 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 December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 3 to the financial statements, these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

New Century Resources Corporation
December 31, 2016 and 2015
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Operations
New Century Resources Corporation
New Century Resources Corporation (the Company), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah in July of 1979 as WEM Petroleum, Inc. From inception through 1981, the Company conducted operations in the oil and gas industry. Pursuant to an option granted the Company in August of 1979, the Company exercised its right to drill exploratory wells on 640 acres in Cache County, Utah. Although various wells were drilled and completed, the Company did not realize any revenues from these oil and gas operations. In 1984, the Company attempted to refocus its business efforts into the mining industry by entering into an option to lease property and mining equipment in Montana. It ceased any significant business operations in the latter part of the 1980's when it failed to exercise the option, due to lack of funding. In 1988, the Company made an effort to commence conducting business again by expanding its business purpose to include the marketing and development of high-tech products. The Company's Board was also authorized to seek out suitable candidates for acquisition or merger. In addition,
In October 1993, the Corporation changed its name to New Century Resources Corporation, acquiring
The Company has no commitments, understandings, or agreements with regard to any proposed business operations or opportunities. It is the intention of Management to actively solicit interested third parties who may be interested in acquiring a controlling interest in what is essentially a "shell" corporation. Such transactions are commonly referred to as "reverse mergers", whereby the Company would acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of a private entity in exchange for a controlling interest in the public company. No assurance can be given that Management of the Company will be successful in attracting a suitable candidate for this type of transaction or some other type of business combination; or what time frame might be involved in consummating any such transaction.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as if the Company had its corporate capital structure as of December 12, 2000.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of financial instruments; inventory valuation and obsolescence; revenue recognized or recognizable; sales returns and allowances; income tax rate, income tax provision and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and the assumption that the Company will be a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
|
|
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
|
|
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of a Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Fiscal Year-End
The Company elected December 31 as its fiscal year-end date.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10, Related Party Disclosures, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a.) affiliates of the Company; b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d.) principal owners of the Company; e.) management of the Company; f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved ; b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitment and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company has not generated revenues in the years presented.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants.
As of December 31, 2016, there are potential share equivalents based on conversion options associated with our convertible promissory notes (approximately
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50, Subsequent Events, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855), of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as filing them on EDGAR.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. Management believes that this ASU will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes ASC 840, Leases. This ASU is based on the principle that entities should recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases. The ASU does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Leases are classified as finance or operating. The ASU’s primary change is the requirement for entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right of use asset representing the right to use the leased asset during the term on operating lease arrangements. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lessors’ accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, the ASU expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of practical expedients. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted. Management believes that this ASU will not have a significant effect on its financial statements.
In November 2015 the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on the Company’s balance sheets and is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current. Management does not believe that this ASU will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update 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”). As a result, management is required to evaluate whether there are relevant conditions and events that would indicate the probability of the Company’s inability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date the financial statements are issued.
The financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2016 and 2015 of $
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 7 – Executive Compensation
Since 1994, the Company has not paid any compensation to officers, directors or executives. The Board of Directors has adopted a general resolution generally permitting the payment of executive compensation, but neither compensation amounts nor any plan for the payment of the same have been approved. It is not anticipated that any executive compensation will be paid, aside from the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, unless or until the Company is able to enter into revenue producing activities.
The Company has not adopted, and does not intend to adopt in the foreseeable future, any stock appreciation rights, compensation plan providing for cash, shares or other compensation to any executive or long term incentive plan.
Note 8 – Income Taxes
The Company has available net operating loss carry-forwards for financial statement and federal income tax purposes. These loss carry-forwards expire if not used within 20 years from the year generated. The Company's management has decided a valuation allowance is necessary to reduce any tax benefits because the available benefits are more likely than not to expire before they can be used. The tax based accumulated deficit creates tax benefits in the amount of $378,235 from inception through December 31, 2016.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $378,235 and $371,215, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and maintained a full valuation allowance.

Note 9 – Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all events that occur after the balance sheet date through the date when the financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported. The Management of the Company determined that there were no reportable subsequent events to be disclosed.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer, and our acting Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Evaluation Date"), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect of financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at December 31, 2016 and 2015:
Segregation of duties in the handling of cash, cash receipt, and cash disbursement was not formalized. The Company is working on formalizing the required procedures.
Inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and
Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on the Company's financial reporting in 2016 and 2015. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we could (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than our officers and directors.
Audit Committee
The Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee and the Board has no separate committees. We have no qualified financial experts at this time because we have not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, we believe that we have inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert. We intend to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our Directors and executive officers have not been involved in any legal proceedings as indicated below during the past ten years.
1. | any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
2. | any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences’); |
3. | being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |

Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by only a limited number of employees, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires our Directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based solely on our review of copies of such forms received by us, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% or more beneficial owners are complied with..
Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Our officers and directors do not receive any compensation for their services rendered to us and have not received such compensation in the past. No remuneration of any nature has been paid for or on account of services rendered by a director in such capacity. Our officers and directors intend to devote no more than a few hours a week to our affairs.
Neither the officers, directors nor the shareholders will receive a finder's fee or other compensation, either directly or indirectly, as a result of their efforts to implement our business plan outlined herein.
It is possible that, after we successfully consummate a business combination with an entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of our management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity. However, we have adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction employment to members of management will not be a consideration in our decision whether to undertake any proposed transaction.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by us for the benefit of our employees.
The following tables set forth the cash and other compensation paid by the Company to its President and all other executive officers and directors during the period from inception through the date of this filing.

Indemnification of our Officers and Directors
The Nevada Revised Statutes and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, allow us to indemnify our officers and Directors from certain liabilities and our Bylaws state that we shall indemnify every (i) present or former Director, advisory Director or officer of us, (ii) any person who while serving in any of the capacities referred to in clause (i) served at our request as a Director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and (iii) any person nominated or designated by (or pursuant to authority granted by) the Board of Directors or any committee thereof to serve in any of the capacities referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) (each an “Indemnitee”).
Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify an Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding in which he was, is or is threatened to be named as a defendant or respondent, or in which he was or is a witness without being named a defendant or respondent, by reason, in whole or in part, of his serving or having served, or having been nominated or designated to serve, if it is determined that the Indemnitee (a) conducted himself in good faith, (b) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his Official Capacity, that his conduct was in our best interests and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that in the event that an Indemnitee is found liable to us or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the Indemnitee, the indemnification (i) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding and (ii) shall not be made in respect of any Proceeding in which the Indemnitee shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to us.
Except as provided above, the Bylaws provide that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any proceeding in which such Indemnitee has been (a) found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the Indemnitee's official capacity, or (b) found liable to us. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not of itself determinative that the Indemnitee did not meet the requirements set forth in clauses (a) or (b) above. An Indemnitee shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the Indemnitee shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals there from. Reasonable expenses shall, include, without limitation, all court costs and all fees and disbursements of attorneys’ fees for the Indemnitee. The indemnification provided shall be applicable whether or not negligence or gross negligence of the Indemnitee is alleged or proven.
Neither our Bylaws nor our Articles of Incorporation include any specific indemnification provisions for our officer or Director against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Additionally, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
