administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total
anticipated expenditure of
administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional
fees for the audit and legal work relating to SPGX's regulatory filings

As atJune 30, 2019 , SPGX had cash of$142,758 and total liabilities of$349,169 . During the 12 month period following the date of this report, management anticipates that SPGX will not generate enough revenue to continue the development of current projects and projects in the pipeline. Accordingly, SPGX will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding SPGX's plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of SPGX's common stock. However, SPGX does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, SPGX will not be able to develop its products and its business plan will fail. Even if SPGX is successful in obtaining equity financing and developing its various business ventures, additional development of its website and marketing program will be required. If SPGX does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.

Going Concern
SPGX has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive business activities. For these reasons the financial statements have been prepared assuming SPGX will continue as a going concern. SPGX has accumulated a deficit of$2,301,045 since inception and has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. SPGX's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. SPGX has$142,758 cash on hand as atJune 30, 2019 . Cash used in operations was$257,041 for the six month period endedJune 30, 2019 . SPGX will need to raise additional cash in order to fund ongoing operations over the next 12 month period.

if at all. Future Financings
Management anticipates raising financing through debt financing or the sale of SPGX's common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional common stock will result in dilution to SPGX's existing stockholders.

Management does not believe that inflation will have a material impact on SPGX's future operations.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
SPGX is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Critical Accounting Policies SPGX's financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles inthe United States . Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of SPGX's financial statements is critical to an understanding of SPGX's financial statements.
Interim reporting and significant accounting policies
While the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, result of operation and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America . All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with SPGX'sDecember 31, 2018 annual financial statements. Operating results for the six month period endedJune 30, 2019 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the period endedDecember 31, 2019 . Consolidation The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company's joint ventures,Hero Wellness Systems Inc. (formerlyVitalizer Americas Inc. ) andCormo USA Inc. The Company controls 55% ofHero Wellness Systems Inc. and 35% ofCormo USA Inc. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, both of these companies are considered variable interest entities that requires the Company to consolidate. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The operating results of the joint ventures have been included in the Company's consolidated interim financial statements commencingSeptember 01, 2018 . The non-controlling interest that were not attributable to the Company have been reported separately. (See Note 13) Segment Reporting
The Company reports segment information based on the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance of its corporation wide basis in comparison to its various businesses. The Company has three reportable segments. The business operating ventures consist of Hero Wellness Systems,Cormo USA andSustainable Projects Group . The segments are determined based on several factors including the nature of products and services, nature of production processes and delivery channels and consultancy services. The operating segment's performance is evaluated based on its segment income. Segment income is defined as the net sales less cost of sales, general and administrative expenses and does not include amortization of any sorts, stock-based compensation or any other charges (income), and interest. As atJune 30, 2019 , the Company only has revenue to report for the consultancy work it performed. There were no revenues from Hero Wellness Systems orCormo USA . Revenue Recognition InMay 2014 , the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfil contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract.
Form 10-
The Company adopted the ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), fromJune 01, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company transfers promised services to the customer. The Company has one main revenue source which is providing consulting services. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue from consulting services when the Company's performance obligation is complete. Even though the Company entered into contract with the customer, the contract could be terminated at any time with two weeks' notice. The Company may receive payments from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for services. These advance payments are recognized as deferred revenue until the performance obligations are completed and then, recognized as revenues. Revenue is from several customers and the Company has one contract with one customer. Termination penalties are non-substantive and can be performed by either party. For the six months endedJune 30, 2019 , all of the revenues were from related parties. Operating Leases InFebruary 2016 , the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2018 , including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standardJune 01, 2018 . The Company will also elect to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first out (FIFO) cost method of accounting. Cost is determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) cost method. Costs include the cost of purchase and transportation costs that are directly incurred to bring the inventories to their present location, and duty. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of the inventory in the ordinary course of business, less any estimated selling costs.
Current Expected Credit Loss
InJune 2016 , the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". The ASU sets forth a "current expected credit loss" (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2019 , including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements. SPGX adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to SPGX as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncements not included above do not expect to have a material effect on the accompanying
financial statements.
