NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017 AND 2016
 (IN U.S. $)

NOTE 1.   ORGANIZATION

China Xuefeng Environmental Engineering Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as NYC Moda Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 30, 2011.  Since its inception until the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company was a development-stage company.

On November 27, 2012, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with the stockholders of Inclusion Business Limited ("Inclusion"), whereby the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Inclusion in exchange for 7,895,000 shares of its common stock, representing 76.65% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.  As a result of the reverse acquisition, Inclusion became the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary and the former Inclusion Stockholders became our controlling stockholders.  The share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Inclusion as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party for accounting purposes.

In November, 2012, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation to change its name from "NYC Moda, Inc." to "China Xuefeng Environmental Engineering Inc." (the "Name Change") and to initiate a 4-for-1 forward stock split (the "Forward Split") of its outstanding shares of common stock. The Name Change and the Forward Split were effective in December, 2012. Upon the effectiveness of the Forward Split, the number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock increased from 10,300,000 to 41,200,000 shares. In March, 2013, the Company sold 14,000,000 shares of common stock to 12 unrelated individuals in a private offering, generating $7,000,000 in net proceeds.

As a result of the transaction with Inclusion, the Company owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Lotus International Holdings Limited ("Lotus"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inclusion, which in turn owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Baichuang Information Consulting (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd ("Baichuang Consulting"). In addition, the Company effectively and substantially controls Jiangsu Xuefeng Environmental Protection Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Jiangsu Xuefeng") through a series of captive agreements with Baichuang Consulting.

The Company conducts its operations through its controlled consolidated variable interest entity ("VIE"), Jiangsu Xuefeng.  Jiangsu Xuefeng, incorporated under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC") in December, 2007, is primarily engaged in the sale, lease and installation of garbage recycling equipment and provides improvement and upgrading services of garbage recycling processing technology and equipment. 

In October 2012, Baichuang Consulting (the "WFOE"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lotus, entered into a series of contractual arrangements (the "VIE Agreements"). The VIE Agreements include (i) an Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement; (ii) a Proxy Agreement, (iii) Share Pledge Agreement and, (iv) Call Option Agreement with the stockholders of Jiangsu Xuefeng.

NOTE 1.   ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement: Pursuant to the Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement, the WFOE provides technical support, consulting, training, marketing and operational consulting services to Jiangsu Xuefeng. In consideration for such services, Jiangsu Xuefeng has agreed to pay an annual service fee to the WFOE of 95% of Jiangsu Xuefeng's annual net income and an additional payment of approximately US$15,910 (RMB100,000) each month. The Agreement has an unlimited term and only can be terminated upon written notice agreed to by both parties.

Proxy Agreement: Pursuant to the Proxy Agreement, the stockholders of Jiangsu Xuefeng agreed to irrevocably entrust the WFOE to designate a qualified person acceptable under PRC law and foreign investment policies, all of the equity interests in Jiangsu Xuefeng held by the stockholders of Jiangsu Xuefeng. The Agreement has an unlimited term and only can be terminated upon written notice agreed to by both parties.

Call Option Agreement: Pursuant to the Call Option agreement, the WFOE has an exclusive option to purchase, or to designate a purchaser, to the extent permitted by PRC law and foreign investment policies, part or all of the equity interests in Jiangsu Xuefeng held by each of the stockholders. To the extent permitted by PRC laws, the purchase price for the entire equity interest is approximately US$0.16 (RMB1.00) or the minimum amount required by PRC law or government practice. This Agreement remains effective until all the call options under the Agreement have been exercised by Baichuang Consulting or its designated entities or natural persons.

Share Pledge Agreement: Pursuant to the Share Pledge agreement, each of the stockholders pledged their shares in Jiangsu Xuefeng to the WFOE, to secure their obligations under the Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement. In addition, the stockholders of Jiangsu Xuefeng agreed not to transfer, sell, pledge, dispose of or create any encumbrance on their interests in Jiangsu Xuefeng that would affect the WFOE's interests. This Agreement remains effective until the obligations under the Exclusive Technical Service and Business Consulting Agreement, Call Option Agreement and Proxy Agreement have been fulfilled or terminated.

On January 19, 2016, the VIE structure was terminated upon Baichuang Consulting exercising its option to purchase all of the registered equity of Jiangsu Xuefeng.  Baichuang Consulting became the sole owner of Jiangsu Xuefeng.

On August 4, 2016, Baichuang Information Consulting Co., Ltd ("Baichuang Information") entered into an agreement with Mr. Li Yuan, the sole shareholder of Linyi County Xuefeng Renewable Resources Utilization Technology Co., Ltd ("Linyi Xuefeng"), to purchase his 100% ownership of Linyi Xuefeng. Mr. Li Yuan is the Chief Executive Officer and main shareholder of the Company. The purchase price was determined by the audited net assets of the Company as of May 31, 2016, initially with a payment of RMB10,000,000 ($1,500,000 US) in cash and the balance to be paid in common shares of China Xuefeng at 75% of the closing price on August 4, 2016. On October 7, 2016, a supplementary agreement was entered between both parties to finalize the purchase based upon the audited net asset value of $ 23,462,612 on May 31, 2016. The supplementary agreement eliminated the cash payment making the entire purchase with stock of the Company. The price utilized was $3 per share and 7,820,871 shares were issued to Mr. Li Yuan.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of August 31, 2017 and for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the SEC which apply to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future three months or for the year ending May 31, 2018.

The acquisition of Linyi Xuefeng was treated as a combination of entities under common as Mr. Li Yuan was the chief executive officer, a major shareholder and had voting control of both companies. An acquisition of an entity under common control is treated similar to a "pooling of interest." Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company has been restated and include the historical balances of Linyi Xuefeng as if the acquisition occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented.

All consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("US Dollar" or "US$" or "$").

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Until January 19, 2016, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its VIE for which it is deemed the primary beneficiary.  On January 19, 2016, the VIE structure was terminated upon Baichuang Consulting exercising its option to purchase all of the registered equity of Jiangsu Xuefeng.  Baichuang Consulting became the sole owner of Jiangsu Xuefeng.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Almost all Company assets are located in the PRC.  The functional currency for the majority of the Company's operations is the Renminbi ("RMB").  The Company uses the United States dollar ("US Dollar" or "US$" or "$") for financial reporting purposes.  The financial statements of the Company have been translated into US dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters."

All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.  Statements of income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented.  Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company's financial statements are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss).

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US dollars for the purposes of preparing the financial statements are as follows:

For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, foreign currency translation adjustments of $ 1,910,583   and $(750,785), respectively, have been reported as other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income (loss) of the Company consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments.  Pursuant to ASC 740-30-25-17, "Exceptions to Comprehensive Recognition of Deferred Income Taxes," the Company does not recognize deferred U.S. taxes related to the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, recognizes no income tax expense or benefit from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Although government regulations now allow convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain.  Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that the RMB could be converted into US dollars at that rate or any other rate.

The value of the RMB against the US dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic conditions.  Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially affect the Company's financial condition in terms of US dollar reporting.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are primarily derived from selling and leasing garbage processing equipment, providing garbage recycling processing system technology support, renovation and upgrade services and patent licensing to customers.  The Company's revenue recognition policies comply with FASB ASC 605 "Revenue Recognition."  In general, the Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, the products or services have been delivered or performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Improvement and upgrading service is a one-time service provided to upgrade customer's existing equipment before they opt to license and use our patented technology. The fee for the service would be paid within thirty (30) days upon execution of the contract.

Inspection would be conducted by the customers according to industry standards within three days upon completion of the improvement and upgrading service. Performance testing would then be conducted on the upgraded equipment, which typically can be done within a month. A final inspection assessment report would be provided to the customers within five days upon completion of the testing and Customers would provide the Company with a signed acceptance form if they are satisfied. The Company will recognize the revenue for the improvement and upgrading service once the performance testing is passed and the final evaluation report is provided by the customer.

Patent licensing is limited to five (5) years with payments due annually in advance and recognized as revenue monthly. We are responsible to provide repairing service when necessary, but customers would bear any out of pocket expense relating to the repairing service.

We believe that lease receivables have four potential risks: operation risk, credit risk, accident risk and natural disasters risk.

First, there is no guarantee that the licensee of our patent will have sufficient capital resources to perform the licensing agreement and pay the licensing fee on time or at all. The length of the agreement is up to five (5) years and therefore the Company may not able to collect fees for the entire agreement. Second, there is a potential credit risk for which the licensee may unilaterally terminate the agreement and thus affect the payout of the licensing agreement. Third, an accident involving the equipment caused by employees of the licensee may have material adverse effect on the operation of the licensee. This unforeseeable risk could impact the licensee's ability to perform throughout the length of the agreement. Lastly, unforeseeable natural disasters could have a material adverse effect on the production and operation of the Company's licensees. If their operation is impacted by events such as fire, flood or earthquakes, they may need to cease their operation and therefore may be unable to perform their obligations under the agreement.

Linyi Xuefeng's income relates solely to government for city pollution garbage processing system constructions.  Government subsidies are recognized as earned when grant expenses are incurred up to the maximum amount allowed for each grant award.

Sales-Type Leases

The Company entered into three sales-type lease arrangements during the three months ended August 31, 2015, with two customers for financing of their purchase of garbage processing equipment.  The arrangements with the customers have a fixed term of three years.  Revenue from the sale of the equipment is recognized at the inception of the lease.  The payments have been present valued with an annual interest rate of 5.25%.  In connection with these arrangements, the Company recognized no revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016.  Future minimum collections for the year ending May 31 are as follows:

The arrangement with the customer has a fixed term of five years with quarterly payments of $177,725(RMB1,200,000), $177,725(RMB1,200,000), $177,725(RMB1,200,000), $355,450 (RMB2,400,000), and $148,104(RMB1,000,000) respectively. Revenue from the leasing of the equipment is recognized monthly. In addition, the lease required a security deposit on $728,102(RMB4,800,000), $728,102(RMB4,800,000), $728,102(RMB4,800,000), $1,456,205(RMB9,600,000) and $606,752   (RMB4,000,000), respectively.

Multiple-Element Arrangements

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, "Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements." ASU No. 2009-13 amended the guidance on arrangements with multiple deliverables under ASC 605-25, "Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements."  To qualify as a separate unit of accounting under ASC 605-25, the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis.  The significant deliverables under the Company's multiple-element arrangements are improvement and upgrade services and patent licensing.

Improvement and Upgrade Service

The improvement and upgrade service is a one-time service. By the end of improvement and upgrading services, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists since company has a signed contract with a customer; delivery has occurred and a customer has completed inspection and accepted the improvement and upgrading services then delivered; the fee is fixed and become due within 30 days upon the signing of the contract; and collectability is probable. An inspection is conducted by the customer according to industry standards within three days of the completion of the improvement and upgrade.  An acceptance form is provided by the customer if the inspection is satisfactory.  Performance testing is conducted on the upgraded equipment within one month. A final evaluation report is provided within five days of the completion of the performance testing.  The fee for improvement and upgrade services is fixed and becomes due within 30 days, upon the signing of the contract.  The fees for the improvement and upgrading services are not subject to refund, forfeiture or any other concession if patent licensing is not completed.

The Company has met the agreed upon specifications and has not been required to make any refunds for its services.  No warranty is provided by the Company.

The customer is responsible for repair services when necessary.  The out of pocket expenses for the repair services will be charged separately to the customer by the Company.

Multiple-Element Arrangements (Continued)

Patent Licensing

Patent licensing is limited to 5 years with payments due annually in advance.  The patent technology of "harmless and comprehensive garbage processing equipment" provided by the Company to its customers has high garbage processing capacity and stable operation capacity.  It is the first modern system equipment in China to use DCS (Distributed Control System) centralized control, by which mechanical automation will be realized for the comprehensive treatment of life garbage.  Its core technology is to organically integrate the anaerobic digestion and aerobic fermentation garbage process, degrade and transform the organic matter of domestic waste, effectively sort out the garbage and recycle all kinds of materials, to eventually realize the true waste resource utilization and harmless utilization, with a utilization rate approaching 100%.  The resource recovery products, biogas, not only can be used for meeting the needs of the plant itself, but also can be sold as a separate product, which greatly improves the efficiency of garbage processing of the customer's equipment, decreases production cost, and increases the recovery return of garbage processing.

The Company's customer who pays for an upgrade and improvement fee is not required to enter into a licensing agreement to continue to use the patented technology.  If the customer does not require the garbage processing equipment to reach the level of the patented technology which can process 500 tons to 1,000 tons of garbage per day, then the customer does not need to enter into the patent licensing agreement.

Multiple Elements

The Company determined that its improvement and upgrade services are individually a separate unit of accounting.  In determining whether the improvement and upgrade services has standalone value, the Company considered factors including the availability of similar services from other vendors, its fee structure based on inclusion and exclusion of the service, and its marketing and delivery of the services.  The Company uses the vendor-specific objective evidence to determine the selling price for its improvement and upgrade services when sold in multiple-element arrangements.  Although not yet being sold separately, the price established by the management has the relevant authority.

The Company also determined that the patent licensing has standalone value because the patent can be licensed separately. The Company uses the vendor-specific objective evidence to determine the price for patent licensing when sold in multiple-element arrangements.  Although not yet being licensed separately, the price established by the management has the relevant authority.  The Company establishes the price of upgrading and improvement service and the price of patent licensing is determined based on the following method:

Multiple-Element Arrangements (Continued)

Multiple Elements (Continued)

Since equipment improvement and upgrade service and patent leasing service are derived from the Company's patented technology, which the Company has the exclusive right to while others must obtain licensing rights to use the technology, the Company have a strong bargaining power in the market to undertake the promotion of its brand and corporate image. Furthermore, the Company uses a profit cost pricing method to determine the price of its product. The Company calculates the price by adding its target profit, or a 90% gross profit margin, to the base product cost to derive the final sale price of its services.

The Company allocates the arrangement consideration based on their relative selling prices.  Revenues for the improvement and upgrade services are recognized when completed, the performance testing is passed and the final evaluation report is provided by the customer, which generally is within 30 days, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.  Revenues for patent licensing are recognized monthly over the licensing period.

The Company believes the effect of changes in the selling price for improvement and upgrade services and patent licensing will not have significant effect on the allocation of the arrangement.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.  The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

NOTE 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements.  When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  As of August 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017, none of the Company's assets and liabilities were required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis.  Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid VAT, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and deferred revenue approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.  There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents

FIXED ASSETS AND LEASE EQUIPMENT

Fixed assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Cost includes the price paid to acquire the asset, and any expenditures that substantially increase the asset's value or extends the useful life of an existing asset.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend the original useful life or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the periods benefited.  Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred.  The estimated useful lives for fixed asset categories are as follows:
Computers and equipment
3 years
Motor vehicles
4 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Lease equipment
15 years
Machinery
10 years
Building and improvement
20 years
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company applies FASB ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets.  In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company may recognize the impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to those assets.  No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the periods presented.

DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue is advance payments received for patent licensing fees and received from government for city pollution garbage processing system constructions. These payments received, but not yet earned, are recognized as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.   As August 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017, the differences relate entirely to revenue deferred for financial statement purposes.  During the year ended May 31, 2015, as permitted by the PRC tax law, the Company began recognizing revenue from patent licensing fees for income tax purposes, based on when it is earned rather than when it is collected, consistent with the financial statement recognition.  As a result, there are no differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes for deferred revenue and, as a result, deferred income taxes are no longer required to be recognized.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 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 ASC 740, 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 would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions.  As of August 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017, the Company does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.

The income tax laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are summarized as follows:

United States

The Company is subject to United States tax at graduated rates from 15% to 34%.  No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016.

PRC

Jiangsu Xuefeng and Baichuang Consulting are subject to an Enterprise Income Tax at 25% and file their own tax returns.  Consolidated tax returns are not permitted in China.

Hong Kong

Lotus is incorporated in Hong Kong.  Pursuant to the income tax laws of Hong Kong, the Company is not subject to tax on non-Hong Kong source income.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, advertising expense was $133,294 and $90,359, respectively.

STATUTORY RESERVE FUND

Pursuant to corporate law in the PRC, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company's registered capital.  The statutory reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years' losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or used to increase registered capital, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such use is not less than 25% of the registered capital.  For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, a statutory reserve of $109,670 and $112,720, respectively, was required to be allocated to the Company.

VALUE ADDED TAX ("VAT")

All China-based enterprises are subject to a VAT imposed by the PRC government on their domestic product sales.  The output VAT is charged to customers who purchase goods from the Company and the input VAT is paid when the Company purchases goods from its vendors. Input VAT rates are 17% for the purchasing activities conducted by the Company. Output VAT rate is 17% for all products.  The input VAT can be offset against the output VAT.  The VAT payable will be presented on the balance sheets when input VAT is less than the output VAT.  Recoverable balance will be presented on the balance sheets when input VAT is larger than the output VAT.

NOTE 3.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash". The amendments address diversity in practice that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated statement of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue with Contracts with Customers: Narrow-scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is an amendment to ASU No. 2014-09 that clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion, to allow entities to exclude amounts collected from customers from all sales taxes from the transaction price, to specify the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception, variable consideration guidance applies only to variability resulting from reasons other than the form of the consideration, and clarification on contract modifications at transition. The implementation guidelines follow ASU No. 2014-09.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).'' This guidance supersedes current guidance on revenue recognition in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition.'' In addition, there are disclosure requirements related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No.2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. For public business entities that follow U.S. GAAP, the deferral results in the new revenue standard are being effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6.   INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

During the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company filed its U.S. federal income tax returns, including, without limitation, information returns on Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 5471, "Information Return of U.S. Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations" for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2017, May 31, 2016, and May 31, 2015, which is a short year income tax return required to be filed as a result of the change in fiscal year. and the information reports for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 concerning its interest in foreign bank accounts on form TDF 90-22.1, "Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts" ("FBAR"). Currently, the 2014, 2015 and 2016 tax years are open and subject to examination by the taxing authorities.  Management is of the opinion that penalties, if any, that may be assessed would not be material to the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, because the Company did not generate any income in the United States or otherwise have any U.S. taxable income, the Company does not believe that it has any U.S. Federal income tax liabilities with respect to any transactions that the Company or any of its subsidiaries may have engaged in through May 31, 2017. However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with this position, and therefore the Company ultimately could be liable for U.S. Federal income taxes, interest and penalties. The tax years ended May 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 remain open to examination by the IRS.

Overview 

We are in the business of providing equipment and upgrade services to optimize garbage-recycling processes. We sell and lease comprehensive and environmental-friendly garbage recycling equipment. We also utilize our licensed patented technology of "comprehensive and harmless garbage-processing equipment" to upgrade software systems and reconstruct hardware for our clients and therefore expand the sorting scope and capacity of our clients' garbage recycling equipment. We also have manufactured, sold and leased garbage-processing equipment commencing since fiscal year ended May 31, 2016. We conduct our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Jiangsu Xuefeng Environmental Protection Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Jiangsu Xuefeng") and Linyi County Renewable Resources Utilization Co., Ltd. ("Linyi Xuefeng")

Our Services

With the development of the urbanization in China, the amount of household garbage is growing, whereas the processing capability of garbage processing equipment cannot satisfy the increasing amount of garbage. In order to improve the processing equipment of garbage processing plants, we provide upgrades and improvements to the software systems and hardware equipment by installing various systems of our licensed patented technology "comprehensive and harmless garbage-processing equipment" into customers' equipment, and reconstruct the hardware to expand the garbage sorting scope and capacity of their equipment.

The comprehensive and harmless garbage processing equipment that we sell or lease is comprised of a waste digestion pretreatment system, methane gas power generation system, sorting processing system, bricklaying building system, leachate treatment system, DCS (distribution control system), XFET-5 ecological and water-saving toilets and excrement comprehensive processing system and various material collection systems. The equipment technology is designed and manufactured based on the complicated situation of the household garbage in China. According to the features of various garbage, the equipment utilizes the wind-force, gravity, magnetic, shape, etc. to process the garbage by the combined way of machine selecting, winnowing, magnetic separation, automatic cutting, smashing and other technological processes. The equipment has large processing capacity and can run all day. The stand-alone equipment can process 500 to 1000 tons of garbage per day. It can sort and process complicated municipal solid waste, leaving almost no pollution and no residue, reaching the "3 without" standard of no waste gas, no waste water and no waste residue.

The licensed patented technology of "harmless and comprehensive garbage processing equipment" provided by Jiangsu Xuefeng to its customers has a high garbage processing capacity and stable operation capacity. It is the first modern system equipment in China to use DCS (Distributed Control System) centralized control, by which mechanical automation will be realized for the comprehensive treatment of life garbage. Its core technology is to organically integrate the anaerobic digestion and aerobic fermentation garbage process, degrade and transform the organic matter of domestic waste, effectively sort out the garbage and recycle all kinds of materials, to eventually realize the true waste resource utilization and harmless utilization rate, approaching 100%. The resource recovery products, biogas, can not only be used for meeting the needs of the plant itself, but also for sale outside the company, which greatly improves the efficiency of the garbage processing equipment, decreases production costs, and increases the recovery return of garbage processing.
31

After we sell or lease the equipment or complete the internal system upgrade and hardware equipment improvements of the clients' garbage equipment, we deliver the upgraded equipment to the customers. The customers will conduct an inspection and performance testing of the upgraded equipment within one month pursuant to the contract to inspect whether the internal control system and the hardware structure can operate steadily and achieve the expected results. The inspection includes the following: whether the quality of the equipment and accessories or after improvement can match the licensed patented technology and process various kinds of garbage, whether the various garbage systems can process automatically, and whether the daily garbage processing capacity reaches the expected results per the contract. If during the performance testing period, the performance meets the requirements of the contract, it would be deemed that we have fully fulfilled our obligations under the contract.

When we complete the upgrading service for a client, we go through the acceptance check and commissioning of the company in accordance with the contract, to make sure that the services provided met the expectations of the clients. After that, we are not subject to any additional services. The revenue we generated belongs to the service class income, with the main cost being the salaries of the staff and the leasing fees for the patent, whereas the hardware and software equipment, as well as the material used in the upgrading process are the responsibility of the client.

Acquisition of Linyi Xuefeng

On August 4, 2016, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Li Yuan, the sole shareholder of Linyi County Xuefeng Renewable Resources Utilization Technology Co., Ltd ("Linyi Xuefeng"), to purchase his 100% ownership of Linyi Xuefeng. Mr. Li Yuan is the Chief Executive Officer and main shareholder of the Company. The purchase price is determined by the audited net assets of Linyi Xuefeng as of May 31, 2016, with payment of RMB10, 000,000 in cash and the rest to be paid in common shares of China Xuefeng depending on the 75% closing price of the last trading day. On October 7, 2016, a supplementary agreement was entered between both parties to finalize the purchase and cost based upon the audited net asset value $23,462,612 on May 31, 2016. The transfer price is $3 per share and 7,820,871 shares in total to Mr. Li Yuan without cash consideration. Linyi Xuefeng is primarily engaged in garbage recycling processing and currently still in development stage without any production.
   
Upon acquisition, Linyi Xuefeng became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

Improvement and Upgrading Services
During the quarter ended August 31, 2017, we didn't provide improvement and upgrading services to our customers. During the quarter ended August 31, 2016, we provided improvement and upgrading services to one customer and generated revenue of $451,797 The services were completed and accepted by the customer and the payment was received in full as of August 31, 2016. While our core business still focuses on providing improvement and upgrading services for customers' garbage processing equipment, we had also begun selling or leasing our garbage processing equipment.
 
Patent Licensing
During the quarter ended August 31, 2017, we generated revenue of $1,332,936 from licensing our patent to 20 unrelated customers. During the quarter ended August 31, 2016, we generated revenue of $1,084,313 from licensing our patent to 16 unrelated customers. As all these customers became licensees before June 1, 2017 and 2016, patent licensing revenue was recognized for the entire three months for these customers during prior periods.
 
Operating lease
During the quarter ended August 31, 2016, we had four operating leases for a 300-ton and three 500-ton garbage processing system. The lease period is 5 years with annual lease payments of $602,396 and $2,168,626 (for the two 500-ton garbage processing system), respectively, before VAT. The 300-ton garbage processing system was delivered and tested in the beginning of November 2015. The two 500-ton garbage processing systems were delivered and tested in the beginning of January 2016. Another 500-ton garbage processing system was delivered and tested in the end of April 2016. These leases are being accounted for as operating leases because they have no renewal or purchase option. At the end of the five years, either a new lease will be negotiated or the equipment will be returned. For the quarter ended August 31, 2016, we generated operating lease revenue of $592,099 from the four equipment. During the quarter ended August 31, 2017, we have two new operating leases for two 500-ton garbage processing system. The lease period is still 5 years with annual lease payments of $1,413,422, before VAT. These two 500-ton garbage processing systems were delivered and tested on December 28, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively. During the quarter ended August 31, 2017, we generated operating lease revenue of $886,092 from the six equipment.

Cost of Goods Sold 
Our cost of goods sold increased to $569,239 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017 from $426,109 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016, which represented an increase of 34%. It is primarily because the cost of leasing equipment increased. Our improvement and upgrading service and patent licensing revenue, the cost primarily consists of fees paid to the related party for licensing the patent, employees' salaries and training expenses. For the operating lease revenue, the depreciation of the garbage processing equipment is the main cost which also included in the cost of revenue.
 
Gross Profit
Our gross profit decreased to $1,649,789 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017 from $1,702,099 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016. Our gross profit ratio for the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 was 74% and 80%, respectively. Our business stream has resulted in a high gross margin because we have no cost of products sold if we don't sell garbage processing equipment. Our cost of goods sold is almost entirely direct labor and patent licensing fees, depreciation of leased equipment and other operating expenses. 
 
Selling and Marketing Expenses 
Our selling and marketing expenses increased to $176,906 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017 from $151,438 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016 which represented an increase of 17%. Our selling and marketing expenses were primarily comprised of sales employees' salaries, advertising expenses, training expenses and travelling expenses. The main reason caused the increase is our advertising expenses increased from $90,359 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016 to $133,294 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $240,661 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017 from $261,854 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016, representing an 8% decrease. Our general and administrative expenses were primarily comprised of employees' salaries, travelling expenses, entertainment expenses and professional fees such as legal and audit fees. The decrease is primarily caused by the decrease in professional fees incurred in the U.S.

Non-operating income
Despite our large cash balances, the interest income generated for the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 was nominal for principally two reasons: 1) extremely low bank's current deposit interest rate and 2) minimal fluctuation of the annual interest rates within a 0.30% range; The interest income reported is net after deducting bank service charges. For the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, our bank interest was $7,183 and $4,031, respectively. For the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, our interest income also includes interest of $75,504 and $135,165, respectively, earned on the sales type leases. Our non-operating income also included government subsidy. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Linyi Xuefeng, received government subsidy of approximate $888,624 (RMB 6,000,000) annually. For the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, the income of government subsidy was $222,156 and $225,899 under accrue basis, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes decreased to $304,843 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017 from $362,243 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016. Our effective tax rate for the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately 21% and 22%, respectively. The enterprise income tax rate is 25% in China. Our tax filing for the calendar year ended December 31, 2016 was examined by the PRC tax authorities in May 2017. Our prior filings were accepted and no adjustments were proposed. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the decrease in our pre-tax income.
34

Net Income
 
For the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, we generated net income of $1,218,498 and $1,287,628, respectively.  We terminated the variable interest entity agreement on January 11, 2016.  For that reason, we didn't have "non-controlling interest" for the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  As a result, our net income attributable to the common stockholders' of the Company for the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1,218,498 and $1,287,628, respectively, representing $0.02 per share and $0.02 per share, respectively.
 
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our local currency, Renminbi (RMB), is our functional currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People's Bank of China at the end of the period. Equity transactions are recorded at their historical amounts. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. For the quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, a foreign currency gain (loss) of $1,910,583 and $(750,785) respectively, have been reported as other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The foreign currency loss was mainly due to the devaluation of the Chinese currency by approximately 6.5%.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of August 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10,501,678, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits. The cash balance was principally derived from cash from operations.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations. We believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will meet our present cash needs for the next 12 months.

Operating activities
 Net cash used in operating activities was $586,604 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017, as compared with the net cash provided by operating activities of $1,873,094 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016. For the quarter ended August 31, 2017, the decrease in the accounts receivable of $1,049,991, prepaid VAT of $150,636, depreciation expenses of $455,497, increase in deferred revenue of $814,572, increased in accrued liability of $345,580,  increase in deferred income tax assets of $312,731 and increase in prepaid expenses of $4,164,190 mainly caused the difference between the net cash provided by operating activities and the net income. For the quarter ended August 31, 2016, the decrease in the accounts receivable of $968,029, prepaid VAT of $100,657, depreciation expenses of $311,417, increase in deferred revenue of 135,544, the increase in prepaid expenses of $415,653 and the decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $473,197 mainly caused the difference between the net cash provided by operating activities and the net income. 

Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $17,423 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016. We didn't have any cash transaction for investing activities for the quarter ended August 31, 2017.
 
Financing activities
For the quarter ended August 31, 2016, we did not have any cash provided or used by any financing activities. For the quarter ended August 31, 2017, our financing activities provided $730,899 in cash. We received a loan of $20,000 from our shareholder which was mainly used for the payment for U.S professional expenses. We also received net security deposit of $710,899 for the quarter ended August 31, 2017.

Effect of exchange rate on cash
The positive (negative) effect of the exchange rate on cash of $130,420 and $(96,870) was principally due to the devaluation by the PRC government of their currency for the fiscal quarters ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There could be further negative adjustments should the PRC government or the exchange markets further devalue the Chinese currency.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
Changes in interest rates may affect the interest earned and therefore affect our cash flows and results of operations. However, we do not believe that this interest rate change risk is significant.

Currency Exchange Fluctuations

All of the Company's revenues are denominated in Chinese Renminbi, while its expenses are denominated primarily in Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"). The value of the RMB-to-U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People's Bank of China ("PBOC"), which are set daily based on the previous day's inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. dollars had generally been stable and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. Recently there has been increased political pressure on the Chinese government to decouple the Renminbi from the United States dollar. At the recent quarterly regular meeting of PBOC, its Currency Policy Committee affirmed the effects of the reform on Chinese Renminbi exchange rate. Since February 2006, the new currency rate system has been operated; the currency rate of Renminbi has become more flexible while basically maintaining stable and the expectation for a larger appreciation range is shrinking. In August 2015, the PRC government devalued its currency by approximately 3.0%. The Company has never engaged in currency hedging operations and has no present intention to do so.
 
Country Risk

A substantial portion of our assets and operations are located and conducted in PRC. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations applicable to us.  If there are any changes in any policies by the Chinese government and our business is negatively affected as a result, then our financial results, including our ability to generate revenue and profits, will also be negatively affected. Economic growth in the PRC has recently begun to slow.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2017.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
 
Management, including our CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a – 15(f).  Management conducted an assessment as of August 31, 2017 of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2017.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2017, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted the following material weaknesses:

The Company does not have a sufficient number of accounting personnel, which would provide segregation of duties within our internal control procedures to support the accurate and timely reporting of our financial results.
 
 
The Company's current accounting personnel lack experience and knowledge in identifying and resolving complex accounting issues under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
