Recent DevelopmentsThe company has retained BF Borgers CPA PCAOB, an accredited accounting firm. The goal is to become a fully reporting company with the SEC. This was announced in January 2017.In the year 2017, the company released quite a large amount of developments. But, those who contributed to spikes in volume were the following ones.On March 8, 2017, the company released that subsidiary KRSNA Minerals reported revenues of $8,153,863 and net profits of $536,555 for the fourth quarter 2016. Additionally, it was noted that KRSNA had commenced to work with China for Manganese and Iron Ore, which could explain the fantastic results.Please check the following words of Richard Wilson, CEO of ICBU. Note that he talked about trading in the Nasdaq:

"Our goal is to meet all the requirements to become a Nasdaq small cap company and with these fourth quarter revenues and profits we are well on our way." Source

On March 16, 2017, the company noted a purchase order from Hong Kong based company for 100,000 metric tons of Magnesia Chrome Powder. The order is valued over $60 million and was included in the fourth quarter of 2016. The company noted something else that may have interested the market even more; KRSNA Minerals revenues and profits are trending much higher for the first half of 2017 compared to 2016. To sum up, expect the next quarterly revenues to surprise the market. This is what the company seems to be telling.Furthermore, on May 24, 2017, Anything Technologies Media Inc's. (OTC: EXMT) released that its subsidiary ISGP has acquired IMD Meds, Hydroponics, CBD, and Hemp Energy Protein Bar division for 125 million common shares of ISGP stock. The transaction seems to be very good for ICBU, as if these shares are sold, cash can be distributed to the shareholders.Additionally, we need to note that ANYTHING TECHNOLOG (OTCMKTS:EXMT) owns International Sustainability Group Inc. (OTCMKTS:ISGP). Thus, until ICBU sells shares of these companies, good news may make the share price increase. The volume spike that was seen in November was a clear example.On November 1, 2017, the market reacted again when Anything Technologies Media Inc's. (OTC: EXMT) retired approximately $1.6 million of their debt in ATM to improve the financial liabilities of the company. We agree with the reaction of the market. The balance sheet looks much cleaner now and the financial risk of shareholders was reduced. As said, ICBU's share price reacted as well.FinancialsWe need to highlight here the strong balance sheet of the company. Other sites, like OTC Markets or Yahoo Finance, did not do so and many market participants may not be aware. It gives our readers an edge:

• Cash: $0.05 million
• Total Assets: $25 million
• Total Liabilities: $11 million

Regarding the income statement, $7.6 million in revenues and a net income of $0.29 million were reported. This is good, as the company is returning value to the shareholders. Last year, the company did not generate profits and the revenues were just $0.09 million.ConclusionCurrently trading with a market cap of $1.5 million, ICBU is an exciting story among small caps. The company is recently showing strong financial performance. After the sale of a division, it acquired shares of another company. Thus, we believe that the amount of catalysts multiplied. If good announcements are released by ANYTHING TECHNOLOG (OTCMKTS:EXMT) or International Sustainability Group Inc. (OTCMKTS:ISGP), the share price may increase as well.To sum up, there is a lot to like on this name. The company is now on our radar screen.We will be updating our subscribers as soon as we know more.
