NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

NaturalShrimp Incorporated is a global shrimp farming company that has developed a technology to produce fresh, gourmet-grade shrimp reliably and economically in an indoor, re-circulating, saltwater facility.  The Company’s eco-friendly, bio-secure design does not rely on ocean water; it recreates the natural ocean environment allowing for high-density production which can be replicated anywhere in the world.

 

The Company’s self-contained shrimp agriculture system allows for the production of Pacific White (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) shrimp in an ecologically controlled fully contained and independent production system without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals.  The Company has developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows the production of commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production.

 

On November 26, 2014, Multiplayer Online Dragon, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MYDR”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NaturalShrimp Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NSH” or the “Company”), pursuant to which MYDR was to acquire substantially all of the assets of NSH, which assets consist primarily of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of NaturalShrimp Corporation (“NSC”), a Delaware corporation, and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. (“NS Global”), a Delaware corporation, and certain real property located outside of San Antonio, Texas (the “Assets”).

 

As discussed in Note 9, on January 30, 2015, MYDR consummated the acquisition of the Assets pursuant to the Agreement.  In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, MYDR effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split, decreasing the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 97,000,000 to 9,700,000 and MYDR issued 75,520,240 shares of its common stock to NSH as consideration for the Assets.  As a result of the transaction, NSH acquired 88.62% of MYDR’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, NSC and NS Global became MYDR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, and MYDR changed its principal business to a global shrimp farming company.  All per share amounts reflected hereafter give effect to the 1-for-10 reverse split.

 

In connection with MYDR’s receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), effective March 3, 2015, MYDR amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “NaturalShrimp Incorporated”.

 

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global, Inc. and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc.

 

As used in this report and unless otherwise indicated, the term “Company” refers to NaturalShrimp Incorporated and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”).  Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The  consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been made.  The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2015 (including the notes thereto) set forth on Form 10-K.  The Company uses as guidance Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

 

Consolidation

 

The  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalShrimp Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NaturalShrimp Corporation, NaturalShrimp Global and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the  consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance ASC 260 – 10, Earnings per Share, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS.  Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  There were no potentially dilutive securities which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, where any such compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period.  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, and is valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and recognized as expense over the service period.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances.  Once the stock is issued the appropriate expense account is charged.  All stock-based compensation currently issued is 100% vested.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, there have been no stock options issued by the Company.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.  Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s  consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” Continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting.  Currently, there is no guidance under US GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures.  The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards.  Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).  For the period ended December 31, 2015, management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that substantial doubt has not been alleviated about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  While the Company continues to explore further significant sources of financing, management’s assessment was based on the uncertainty related to the amount and nature of such financing over the next twelve months.
