 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

 

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements” on page 25.

 

Overview

 

Yangtze River Development Limited is a Nevada corporation that operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Energetic Mind Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, which holds 100% capital stock of Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Ltd., a Hong Kong company that holds 100% capital stock of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China that primarily engages in the business of real estate and infrastructural development with a port logistics center located in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. Situated in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuhan Newport is a large infrastructure development project implemented under China's latest "One Belt One Road" initiative and is believed to be strategically positioned in the anticipated "Pilot Free Trade Zone" of the Wuhan Port, a crucial trading window among China, the Middle East and Europe. To be fully developed upon completion, within the logistics center, there will be six operating zones: including port operation area, warehouse and distribution area, cold chain logistics area, rail cargo loading area, exhibition area and business related area. The logistics center is also expected to provide a number of shipping berths for cargo ships of various sizes. Wuhan Newport is expected to provide domestic and foreign businesses a direct access to the anticipated Free Trade Zone in Wuhan. The project will include commercial buildings, professional logistic supply chain centers, direct access to the Yangtze River, Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe Railway and ground transportation, storage and processing centers, IT supporting services, among others.

 

Our Logistics Center is an extensive complex located in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province of China, a major transportation hub city with access to numerous railways, roads and expressways passing through the city and connecting to major cities in China, as well as other international centers of commerce and business.

 

The Logistics Center is expected to occupy approximately 1,918,000 square meters, for which the construction and development are expected to be completed in five years while the total anticipated investment have been divided into three phases – 40% of the total in the first year and 30% respectively in the second and third year. The following table illustrates the timeframe of our investment and construction progress.

 

Time   Phase of Investment   Percentage of Total Anticipated Investment   Percentage of Construction of
the Logistics Center
1st Year   1st Phase Investment   40%   30%
2nd Year   2nd Phase Investment   70%   40%
3rd Year   3rd Phase Investment   100%   60%
4th Year   Investment Completed   100%   75%
5th Year   Investment Completed   100%   100%

 

The Logistics Center located within the Wuhan Newport Yangluo Port, on the upper stream of the Yangtze River, and close to the northern base of Wu Iron and Steel, China's first mega-sized iron and steel production complex. The Logistics Center is expected to include a port terminal that will be located approximately 26.5km from the Wuhan Guan and 5.5km from the Yangluo Yangtze River Bridge. The operation area of the port is expected to consist of a riverbank of 1,039 meters with eight 5,000-to-10,000-ton berths, two of which are multi-purpose berths and the other six are general cargo berths. It is designed to be able to handle up to 5,000,000 tons of cargo annually, including up to 100,000 TEU for annual container throughput (including 20,000 TEU in freezers areas), 1,000,000 tons of iron and steel and 3,000,000 tons of general cargo.

Within the Logistics Center, functional areas will be divided into six operating zones: a port operation area, a warehouse and distribution area, a cold chain supply logistics area, a rail cargo loading area, an exhibition area and a business related area. The Logistics Center will also be complemented with container storage areas, multi-functional areas, general storage areas, multi-functional warehouse and infrastructural development, including new roads, gas stations, parking areas, gas and water pipes, electricity lines and all other facilities and equipment to operate the Logistics Center.

 

Aside from being situated in the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Yangluo development area is amongst the third group of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ) applicants to submit FTZ applications to the State Council. As of the date of this prospectus, approvals have been granted to Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Enterprises within the approved free-trade zones are typically entitled to a series of favorable regulations and policies that could help the businesses grow and succeed. However, we can provide no assurance at this point that the FTZ application will in fact be approved.

 

Wuhan Newport has signed a twenty-year lease agreement, maximum number of years permitted by the applicable PRC laws, and with rights to renew at its sole discretion effective April 27, 2015 to lease approximately 1,200,000 million square meters of land for building logistics warehouses in support of the Logistics Center. The warehouses are expected to comprise of port terminal zones, warehouse logistics zones, cold chain supply zones and railroad loading and unloading zones. The warehouses will connect the port terminal along the Yangtze River and the railway leading to Europe, satisfying the requirement of China’s latest “One Belt, One Road” initiative. It will also be able to support large logistics companies in Wuhan and other nearby provinces which will rent the warehouses, terminals and offices within the Logistics Center. 

 

Factors Affecting our Operating Results

 

Growth of China’s Economy. We operate and derive all of our revenue from operations in China. Economic conditions in China, therefore, affect our operations, including the demand for our properties and services and the availability and prices of land maintenance among other expenses. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China has experienced significant economic growth in the past decade. China is expected to experience continued growth in all areas of investment and consumption, though may be at a slower rate. However, if the Chinese economy were to become significantly affected by a negative stimulus, China’s growth rate may fall significantly and it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Government Regulations. Our business and results of operations are subject to PRC government policies and regulations regarding the following:

 

  Land Use Right — According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC and Interim Regulations of the People’s Republic of China Concerning the Assignment and Transfer of the Right to the Use of the State-owned Land in the Urban Areas, individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to use urban land or land use rights for specific purposes, including residential, industrial and commercial purposes. We acquire land use rights from local governments and/or other entities for development of commercial real estate projects. We do not have ownership over these lands.

 

 5 

 

 

  Land Development — According to the Urban Real Estate Development and Operation Administration Regulation, the Urban Real Estate Development and Operation Administration Rules of Hebei Province promulgated by the government of the Hebei Province, and the Real Estate Development Enterprise Qualification Administration Regulation, a real estate development enterprise shall obtain a Real Estate Development Enterprise Qualification Certificate. We obtained the related certificates and seek to ensure that each phase of our projects complies with our certificates.
     
  Project Financing — According to the Land Administration Law and the Property Law of the PRC, the land use rights, and buildings still in process of construction may be pledged and mortgaged. From time to time, we may pledge and mortgage our land use rights and real properties to lenders in order to obtain project financing.

 

Interest Rate and Inflation Challenges. We are subject to market risks due to fluctuations in interest rates and refinancing of mid-term debt. Higher interest rates may also affect our revenues, gross profits and our ability to raise and service debt and to finance our developments. Inflation could result in increases in the price of raw materials and labor costs. We do not believe that inflation or deflation has affected our business materially.

 

Acquisitions of Land Use Rights and Associated Costs. We acquire land use rights for development through the governmental auction process and by obtaining land use rights permits from third parties through negotiation, acquisition of entities, co-development or other joint venture arrangements. Our ability to secure sufficient financing for land use rights acquisitions and property development depends on internal cash flows in addition to lenders’ perceptions of our credit reliability, market conditions in the capital markets, investors’ perception of our securities, the PRC economy and the PRC government regulations that affect the availability and cost of financing real estate companies or property purchasers.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds and compensation payables.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

 6 

 

 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables, other receivables, short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

 

Reporting Currency and Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting currency. Yangtze River, Energetic Mind, and Ricofeliz Capital uses US$ as its functional currency. Wuhan Newport uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of operations.

 

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from steel trading when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.

 

Revenue from the sales of completed properties and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.

 

 7 

 

 

Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.

 

The Company has not generated any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. 

 

Real Estate Capitalization and Cost Allocation

 

Real estate property completed and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction and units completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms of 40 years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value. 

 

Capitalization of Interest

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under development. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, nil and nil were capitalized as properties under development, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations. 

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

The property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value.

 

The Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

 

Income Taxes

 

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

 

The Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any uncertain tax position.

 

 8 

 

 

Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)

 

In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold. The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations. LAT would be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the period for convertible notes under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Potential common stocks are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $7,724 and $47,187, respectively.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(ASC 360- 10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

 9 

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company adopted ASC 718 Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value estimate is based on the share price and other pertinent factors. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and to revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company used a mix of historical data and future assumptions to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and to record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2014-01 to ASU 2015-01, if currently adopted, would have a material effect of the consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

Revenue.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we did not generate any revenue, compared to revenue of $3,458,295 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $3,458,295 or approximately 100.0%. The significant decrease was mainly because we did not engage in any steel trading during the fiscal year ended 2015.

 

We also did not generate any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Cost of Revenue.

 

Our cost of revenue sold consists of the cost of purchased goods. During the year ended December 31, 2015, our cost of goods sold was $nil, compared to $3,693,783 for the cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $3,693,783 or approximately 100.0%. The decrease in the cost of revenue was mainly due to the lack of steel trading during the fiscal year ended 2015.

 

Gross Loss.

 

Our gross margin increased from a loss of $235,488 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to $nil for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The increase of the gross margin is mainly due to the lack of steel trading during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and we sold steel for less than the cost of goods during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Operating Expenses.

 

Operating expenses totaled $4,559,223 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $2,178,365 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $2,380,858, or approximately 109%. The significant increase is mainly because of significant increase of general and administrative expenses offset by decrease in selling expenses.

 

Selling, General and Administrative expenses.

 

Selling expenses decrease from $87,866 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to $11,577 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $76,289, or approximately 86.83%. The decrease is mainly attributable to decrease in steel trading during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. 

 

Our general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, office expenses, utilities, business travel, amortization expenses (including legal expenses, accounting expenses and other professional service expenses) and stock compensation. General and administrative expenses were $4,547,646 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $2,090,499 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $2,457,147 or 118 %. The significant increase is mainly because of the increase of expenses related to professional fees in connection with our merger with Kirin and in preparation of a public offering and application for listing to the NYSE.

 

Loss from Operations.

 

As a result of the factors described above, operating loss was $4,559,223 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to operating loss of $2,413,853 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of operating loss of $2,145,370, or approximately 88.88%.

We received an income tax benefit of $1,378,700 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $1,402,421 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Net Loss.

 

As a result of the factors described above, our net loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $6,381,862, compared to net loss of $4,257,096 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, an increase in loss of $2,124,766.

 

Foreign Currency Translation.

 

Our consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the financial statements denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Our foreign currency translation loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $6,649,917, compared to $147,341 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $6,502,576. 

 

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders.

 

Net loss available to our common stockholders was $0.04 per share (basic and diluted), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net loss of $0.03 per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2014.

    Years Ended

    2015     2014  
Net cash provided by from operating activities   $ (4,735,142 )   $ (5,277,025 )

Cash and cash equivalents - beginning of year   $ 56,366     $ 1,063,733  
Cash and cash equivalents - end of year   $ 512,569     $ 56,366  

 

We had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $512,569 as of December 31, 2015 compared to a balance of $56,366 as of December 31, 2014. We have historically funded our working capital needs through advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from stockholders.

Operating Activities. Net cash outflow from operating activities was $4,735,142 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net cash outflow from operating activities of $5,277,025 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $541,883. The decrease in net cash outflows from operating activities was primarily contributed by the following factors:

 

  Changes in prepayments (combination of others receivables) provided $nil cash outflow for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. In the same period of 2014, changes in prepayments (combination of others receivables) provided $884,391 cash inflow, which led to a decrease of $884,391 in net cash inflow.
     
  Changes in real estate properties and land lots under development provided $778,977 cash outflow for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to changes in real estate properties and land lots under development contributed $6,412,919 cash outflow in the same period of 2014, which led to a decrease of $5,633,942 in net cash outflow.
     
  Changes in accounts payable provided $nil cash inflow for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $4,486,912 cash inflow for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which lead to a decrease of $4,486,912 in net cash inflow from operating activities. 

 

  Changes in other payables and accrued liabilities provided $2,257,051 cash inflow for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared other payables and accrued liabilities contributed $72,260 cash inflow in the same period of 2014, which led to an increase of $2,184,791 in net cash inflow.
     
  We have net loss of $6,381,862 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net loss $4,257,096 in the same period of 2014, which led to an increase of $2,124,766 increase in net cash outflow.

 

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $494,179 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net cash of $70,908 used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, represented an increase of $565,087. The increase was primarily because of decrease of cash used for purpose of property and equipment, as well as the effect of share exchange completed in December, 2015.

 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,698,162 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net cash of $4,346,367 provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, represented an increase of $351,795. The increase was primarily because we have a $176,599 of repayment of financial institution loans in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $488,146 for the same period in 2014.

 

As shown in our financial statements, we have negative cash flows from operations, sustained recurring losses for a number of years and currently we are not generating revenues. Over the past years, the Company has been funded through a combination of bank loans and advances from shareholders. On January 29, 2016, we received an undertaking commitment letter provided by our majority shareholder who is willing to provide sufficient funding on an as-needed basis. In addition, the Company plans to dispose of the existing developed real estate properties with market value of approximately $42 million when the Company needs cash flows. The Company believes that, as a result of these, it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements for a reasonable period of time.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Upon consummation of the Second Share Exchange and Subsidiaries Sale described above in “Corporate History”, Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (“Jasper”), a related party, holds an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $75,000,000 with a maturity date of December 19, 2018. Upon maturity, Jasper may convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

January 29, 2016, we received an undertaking commitment letter provided by the our majority shareholder who is willing to provide sufficient funding on an as-needed basis. We believe that the financial commitment provided by our majority shareholder could provide our company with sufficient capital resources to meet our capital needs for a reasonable period of time.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2016-01, if currently adopted, would have a material effect of the consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Yangtze River Development Limited

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Yangtze River Development Limited (the “Company”) (formerly known as Kirin International Holding, Inc.) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in owners’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Yangtze River Development Limited as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Yangtze River Development Limited (the “Company” or “Yangtze River”) and its subsidiaries, Energetic Mind Limited (“Energetic Mind”), Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Limited (“Ricofeliz Capital”), and Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Newport”).

 

The Company, formerly named as Kirin International Holding, Inc., and Ciglarette, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 23, 2009. The Company was a development stage company and has not generated significant revenue since inception to March 1, 2011.

 

On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement that Kirin China Holding Limited (“Kirin China”) became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Kirin China engaged in the development and sales of residential and commercial real estate properties, and development of land lots in People’s Republic of China (“China”, or the “PRC”).

 

On December 19, 2015, the Company completed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Energetic Mind and all the shareholders of Energetic Mind, whereby Yangtze River acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Energetic Mind, in exchange for 151,000,000 shares of Yangtze River’s common stock, which constituted approximately 88% of its issued and outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis of Yangtze River immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange, and an 8% convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $150,000,000. As a result of the Share Exchange, Energetic Mind became Yangtze River’s wholly-owned subsidiary and Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (“Jasper”), the former shareholder of Energetic Mind, became Yangtze River’s controlling stockholder. The Share Exchange transaction with Energetic Mind was treated as an acquisition, with Energetic Mind as the accounting acquirer and Yangtze River as the acquired party. The financial statements before the date of the Share Exchange are those of Energetic Mind with the results of the Company being consolidated from the date of the Share Exchange.

 

Energetic Mind owns 100% of Ricofeliz Capital and operates its business through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport.

 

Wuhan Newport was a wholly owned subsidiary of Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd. (the “Wuhan Renhe”), a company incorporated in the PRC as at September 23, 2002. On July 13, 2015, Wuhan Renhe transferred all of the equity interests of the Company to Ricofeliz Capital, a company incorporated in Hong Kong on March 25, 2015. Ricofeliz Capital was incorporated by Energetic Mind, a company incorporated in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Energetic Mind was incorporated by Mr. Liu Xiangyao on January 2, 2015, and was subsequently purchased by various companies incorporated in BVI or the United States of America (“USA”), among whom Jasper became its 64% owner. Jasper was 100% owned by Mr. Liu Xiangyao, a Hong Kong citizen.

 

The major assets of Wuhan Newport include land lots for developing commercial buildings that are in line with the principal activities of Kirin China.

 

On December 31, 2015, the Company entered into certain stock purchase and business sale agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kirin Global Enterprises, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a California corporation and an entity controlled by a former officer and director of the Company whereby the Company sold its interest in certain subsidiaries (see note 11) for an aggregate of $75,000,002. (the “Sale”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, Jasper agreed to finance the Sale by reducing Company’s financial obligations of the Note by an aggregate of $75,000,000. In addition, the Purchaser agreed to pay the remaining two dollar in cash.

 

Upon completion of the Sale, the Company operates its business solely through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport, primarily engaging in the business as a port logistic center located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the PRC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

2.1 Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The consolidated balance sheets are presented unclassified because the time required to complete real estate projects and the Company’s working capital considerations usually stretch for more than one-year period.

 

2.2 Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; and (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds and compensation payables.

 

2.3 Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

 

2.4 Property and equipment

 

The property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated in Note 7.

 

The Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

 

2.5 Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(ASC 360- 10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

2.6 Fair values of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables, other receivables, short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

 

2.7 Convertible notes

 

In accordance with ASC subtopic 470-20, the convertible notes are initially carried at the principal amount of the convertible notes. Debt premium or discounts, which are the differences between the carrying value and the principal amount of convertible notes at the issuance date, together with related debts issuance cost, are subsequently amortized using effective interest method as adjustments to interest expense from the debt issuance date to its first redemption date. Convertible notes are classified as a current liability if they are or will be callable by the Company or puttable by the debt holders within one year from the balance sheet date, even though liquidation may not be expected within that period.

 

2.8 Foreign currency translation and transactions

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting currency. Yangtze River, Energetic Mind, and Ricofeliz Capital uses US$ as its functional currency. Wuhan Newport uses Renminbi Yuan(“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of operations.

 

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

2.9 Revenue recognition

Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenue from the sales of completed properties and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.

 

Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.

 

The Company has not generated any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

2.10 Real estate capitalization and cost allocation

 

Real estate property completed and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction and units completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost capitalization of development and redevelopment activities begins during the predevelopment period, which we define as the activities that are necessary to begin the development of the property. We cease capitalization upon substantial completion of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We also cease capitalization when activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use have been suspended. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms of 40 years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value.

 

2.11 Capitalization of interest

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under development. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, nil and nil were capitalized as properties under development, respectively.

 

2.12 Advertising expenses

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $7,724 and $47,187, respectively.

 

2.13 Share-based compensation

 

The Company grants restricted shares to its non-employee consultants. Awards granted to non-employees are measured at fair value at the earlier of the commitment date or the date the services are completed, and are recognized using graded vesting method over the period the service is provided.

 

2.14 Income taxes

 

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

 

The Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any uncertain tax position.

2.15 Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)

 

In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold. The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations. LAT would be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

2.16 Earnings (loss) per share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for convertible notes under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.

 

2.17 Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss includes net income (loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

2.18 Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

 

2.19 Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2016-01, if currently adopted, would have a material effect of the consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

9. REAL ESTATE PROPERTY REFUND AND COMPENSATION PAYABLe

 

During the years 2012 and 2011, the Company signed 443 binding agreements of sales of commercial offices of the project with floor area of 22,790 square meters to unrelated purchasers (the transactions or the real estate sales transactions). The Company received deposits and considerations from the purchasers as required by the agreements. The construction commenced in the 2010, which was originally expected to be delivered to customers in late of 2012. No revenue was recognized from the sales of the commercial offices due to the reason stated below.

 

Owing to commercial reasons, the Company decided to terminate the agreements made for the sale of the real estate properties in relation to the project of Wuhan Centre China Grand Market. According to the agreements of sales, the Company is obliged to compensate the purchaser at a rate equal to 6% per annum or 0.05% per day on the deposits paid. In the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred $1,528,126 and $1,547,428 compensation expenses which were included in general and administrative expenses.

 

As at December 31, 2015, 375 out of 443 agreements were cancelled, and no completed office (or real estate certificate) has been delivered to the purchaser. The Company is still in the progress of negotiating with the purchasers for the cancellation of the remaining agreements. The directors of the Company are of the opinion that almost all of the purchasers shall accept the cancellation. If, finally the purchaser insisted on the execution of the agreement, the Company will accept.

 

Real estate property refund and compensation payable represent the amount of customer deposits received and the compensation calculated in accordance with the provisions in the sales agreements. The payable consists of the followings:

20. Subsequent Event

 

The management evaluated all events subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Except for the followings, there are no significant matters to make material adjustments or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

On January 13, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Nevada, changing its name from “Kirin International Holding, Inc.” to “Yangtze River Development Limited”.

 

Effective January 22, 2016, upon approval by FINRA, Yangtze River Development Limited, or formerly Kirin International Holding, Inc., changed its stock symbol from “KIRI” to “YERR”.

 

On January 25, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company formed and adopted charters for six standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nomination Committee, Governance and Human Resources Committee, Board Oversight Committee, Social Media Committee (collectively the “Committees”). Each Committee consists of only independent directors of the Company. The Board also adopted charter for the Regulatory, Compliance and Government Affairs Committee, for which the charter will be implemented once the committee is formed. The Company believes that the adoption of these charters and formation of these Committees are necessary for the implementation of effective internal control and oversight and a significant step towards remediating any material weakness the Company currently has. Members of the Committees are as set forth below

 

  Audit Committee: Harvey Leibowitz (Chair), Zhihong Su, Daniel W. Heffernan, Romano Tio, Tongmin Wang
     
  Compensation Committee: Harvey Leibowitz (Chair), Zhihong Su, Zhixue Liu, Romano Tio, Daniel W. Heffernan
     
  Nomination Committee: Daniel W. Heffernan (Chair), Harvey Leibowitz, Zhixue Liu, Romano Tio, Zhihong Su
     
  Governance and Human Resources Committee: Zhihong Su (Chair), Harvey Leibowitz, Romano Tio, Daniel W. Heffernan, Tongmin Wang
     
  Board Oversight Committee: Daniel W. Heffernan (Chair), Zhixue Liu, Harvey Leibowitz, Romano Tio, Zhihong Su
     
    Social Media Committee: Romano Tio (Chair), Harvey Leibowitz, Zhihong Su, Daniel W. Heffernan, Tongmin Wang

 

The Company believes that all members of each of the audit and compensation committees are independent and that Mr. Harvey Leibowitz qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in applicable regulations of the SEC.

 

The Audit Committee is responsible for making such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting and external audits of the Company and its subsidiaries; to provide to the Board the results of its examinations and recommendations derived there from; to outline to the Board improvements made, or to be made, in internal accounting controls; to nominate independent auditor; and to provide to the Board such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters requiring Board attention.

 

The Company believes that the adoption of these charters and formation of these Committees, specifically that of the Audit Committee, are necessary for the implementation of effective internal control.

 

21. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

 

PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s subsidiary incorporated in the PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary incorporated in the PRC are required to annually appropriate 10% of their net income to the statutory reserve prior to payment of any dividends, unless such reserve have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. In addition, registered share capital and capital reserve accounts are also restricted from withdrawal in the PRC, up to the amount of net assets held in each subsidiary. As a result of the restrictions described above and elsewhere under PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s subsidiary incorporated in the PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company in the form of dividends or advances from PRC subsidiary. Such restriction amounted to $297,052,074 as of December 31, 2015. Except for the above, there is no other restriction on the use of proceeds generated by the Company’s subsidiary to satisfy any obligations of the Company.

 

22. GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. Over the past years, the Company has been funded through a combination of bank loans and advances from shareholders. On January 29, 2016, the Company received an undertaking commitment letter provided by the Company’s majority shareholder who is willing to provide sufficient funding on an as-needed basis. In addition, the Company plans to dispose of the existing developed real estate properties with market value of approximately $42 million when the Company needs cash flows. The Company believes that, as a result of these, it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements for a reasonable period of time.
