ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Porter Holding International, Inc. (“ULNV” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 5, 2013.

 

The Company’s original business plan was to sell freshly squeezed juices from mobile stands in London, United Kingdom, but this business was not successful and we did not generate any revenue from this business.

 

On December 16, 2016, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Porter Group Limited (“PGL”) to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of PGL. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 500,000,000 shares of its common stock to the owners of the PGL (“the share exchange”).

 

Porter Group Limited (“PGL”) was incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles on October 13, 2016, and is a holding company. PGL owns 100% of Porter Perspective Business Group Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“PPBGL”) which in turn owns 100% of Shenzhen Qianhai Porter Industrial Co. Ltd. (“Qianhai Porter”), a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

 

On December 15, 2016, Qianhai Porter, Shenzhen Portercity Investment Management Co. Ltd. (a company incorporated in the PRC; “Portercity”) and Mr Zonghua Chen and Ms Xiaomei Xiong, the shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of Portercity entered into commercial arrangements, or collectively, VIE Agreements, pursuant to which PGL has contractual rights to control and operate the businesses of Portercity and its three operating wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC (collectively the “VIE Entities”):

 

(a)     Shenzhen Porter Warehouse E-Commerce Co. Ltd. (“Porter E-Commerce”);

 

(b)     Shenzhen Yihuilian Information Consulting Co. Ltd. (“Porter Consulting”); and

 

(c)     Shenzhen Porter Commercial Perspective Network Co. Ltd. (“Porter Commercial”).

 

The VIE Agreements entered into by and between Qianhai Porter, Portercity and the Shareholders are as follows:

 

 

Pursuant to a commission management and consulting services agreement, or the Service Agreement, Qianhai Porter agreed to act as the exclusive management and advisory consultant of Portercity and provide client management, marketing promotion counseling, corporate management and counseling, finance counseling and personnel training services to Portercity. In exchange, Portercity agreed to pay Qianhai Porter a management and consulting fee to be equivalent to the amount of net profit before tax of Portercity;

 

 

Pursuant to an exclusive right and option to purchase agreement, or the Option Agreement, the shareholders of Portercity granted to Qianhai Porter the exclusive right and option to purchase, at any time during the term of the Option Agreement, all of the assets of and equity interests shares in Portercity, at the exercise price equal to the lowest possible price permitted by Chinese laws;

 

 

Pursuant to a shareholders’ voting rights proxy agreement, or the Voting Rights Agreement, each of the shareholders of Portercity irrevocably appointed the representatives designated by Qianhai Porter to exercise its exclusive voting right of shareholders in the general meeting of shareholders of Portercity; and

 

 

Pursuant to an equity interest pledge agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the shareholders of Portercity pledged all of the equity interests in Portercity and any and all legitimate income generated from such equity interests to Qianhai Porter to ensure the rights, privileges and concessions of Qianhai Porter under this and the above contractual arrangements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

 (In U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

As a result of the above contractual arrangements, or the Contractual Arrangements, PGL has substantial control over the VIE Entities’ daily operations and financial affairs, election of their senior executives and all matters requiring shareholder approval. Furthermore, as the primary beneficiary of the VIE Entities, the Company is entitled to consolidate the financial results of the VIE Entities in its own consolidated financial statements under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, or ASC Topic 810.

 

The Company completed the following transactions:

 

 

1.

The formation of PGL, a Seychelles holding company, was completed in October 13, 2016. The share capital of the Company is $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each. On December 6, 2016, the authorized and issued capital of PGL increased to $725,000 divided into 7,250,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0001 each. PGL is owned and controlled by the same control group as PPBGL and Portercity, including Mr Zonghua Chen and Mr. Maozi Cong.

 

 

2.

On November 29, 2016, Mr Zongjian Chen, the sole shareholder of PPBGL, transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of PPBGL to PGL. The Share Transfer has been accounted for as a common control transaction. Other than its 100% ownership of PPBGL, PGL has no significant assets and no other business operations.

 

Organization and reorganization

 

PPBGL was incorporated in Hong Kong on September 21, 2016 as a company with limited liability as an investment holding company. Upon incorporation, PPBGL issued 1 ordinary share at HK$1. Also on September 21, 2016, an additional 9,999 ordinary shares were issued, and Mr Zongjian Chen held all the 10,000 ordinary shares of PPBGL on behalf of the original investors of Portercity. At this time, PPBGL was controlled by Mr Zongjian Chen and other investors had no significant assets or business operations.

 

Qianhai Porter was incorporated in the PRC as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) with limited liability on November 21, 2016. Qianhai Porter was set up by PPBGL. Qianhai Porter was incorporated to control the shareholders’ voting interests in Portercity and become the primary beneficiary of Portercity and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Porter E-Commerce, Porter Consulting and Porter Commercial.

 

Portercity was held by Mr Zonghua Chen (brother of Mr Zongjian Chen) and Ms Xiaomei Xiong (spouse of Mr Zongjian Chen) on behalf of other investors, including Mr Zonghua Chen himself and Mr. Maozi Cong.

 

On December 15, 2016, Qianhai Porter, Portercity and the Shareholders of Portercity entered into the abovementioned VIE Agreements, pursuant to which the Company has contractual rights to control and operate the businesses of Portercity and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The change in control of Portercity and the acquisition of PPBGL by PGL have been accounted for as common control transactions in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and there was no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirers' interest in the net fair value of the acquirees' identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combinations. Therefore, these transactions were recorded at historical cost with a reclassification of equity from retained profits to additional paid in capital to reflect the deemed value of consideration given in the local jurisdiction and the capital structure of Portercity. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, PPBGL and Qianhai Porter and VIE Entities (except for Porter Consulting, as explained below) for all periods presented. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

On December 1, 2016, Portercity acquired a 100% equity interest in Porter Consulting from Shenzhen Porter Holdings Limited, for a cash consideration of $145,603 (RMB1,000,000). The consideration was credited against the amount due to Shenzhen Porter Holdings Limited as fully paid.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

 (In U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

On December 16, 2016, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with PGL to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of PGL. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 500,000,000 shares of its common stock to the owners of PGL (“the share exchange”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 500,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the shareholders of PGL on January 10, 2017, among which, 30,000,000 shares were issued to our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, Mr. Zonghua Chen and 15,000,000 shares issued to our director, Mr. Maozi Cong. All 500,000,000 shares issued in January 2017 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement were held in escrow and deemed to be in the full control of ULNV until the closing.

 

On April 7, 2017, ULNV filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announcing the completion of a business combination between ULNV and PGL in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the transaction, PGL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNLV and the shareholders of PGL became the holders of approximately 98.4% of UNLV’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis. For financial accounting purposes, the share exchange is accounted for as a reverse acquisition by PGL, and resulted in a recapitalization, with PGL, being the accounting acquirer and the Company, as the acquired entity (accounting acquiree). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are in substance those of PGL, with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, of the Company being included effective from the date of the reverse acquisition. The Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of PGL.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the following:

 

 

(1)

the balance sheet consists of the net assets of the accounting acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the accounting acquiree at historical cost;

 

 

(2)

the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the accounting acquirer for all periods presented as if the recapitalization had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented and the operations of the accounting acquiree from the date of share exchange transaction.

 

On April 7, 2017, the Company changed its fiscal year end from February 28 to December 31. This change is being effectuated in connection with the aforementioned reverse acquisition transaction.

 

In May 2017, the Company’s name was changed from Uni Line Corp. to Porter Holding International, Inc. to more accurately reflect its new business.

 

On June 28, 2018, Portercity and Mr Zhibo Mao established Weifang Porter City Commercial Management Company Limited (“Weifang Portercity”) in Weifang, Shandong Province, the PRC, with a registered capital of RMB1 million ($0.1 million), which should be paid up by December 31, 2028. Portercity and Mr Zhibo Mao hold 60% and 40% equity interest in Weifang Portercity, respectively. Weifang Portercity is intended to be engaged in the business of providing various consulting services to its clients, especially to those who have the intention to be publicly listed in the stock exchanges in the United States and other countries.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and its variable interest entities. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2018 and for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have not been included. The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, previously filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included. The results reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3,434,760 as of September 30, 2018, and it currently has net working capital deficit of $2,491,985. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company may have to rely on additional debt financing, loans from existing directors and shareholders and private placements of capital stock for additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans described above or in attracting equity or alternative financing on acceptable terms, or if at all.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its consolidated financial statements.

 

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

VIE Consolidation

The Company’s VIEs are wholly owned by Mr Zonghua Chen and Ms Xiaomei Xiong as nominee shareholders. For consolidated VIEs, management made evaluations of the relationships between the Company and the VIEs and the economic benefit flow of contractual arrangements with the VIEs. In connection with such evaluation, management also took into account the fact that, as a result of such contractual arrangements, the Company controls the shareholders’ voting interests in these VIEs. As a result of such evaluation, management concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary of its consolidated VIEs.

 

PRC laws and regulations prohibit or restrict foreign ownership of companies that operate Internet information and content, Internet access, online games, mobile, value added telecommunications and certain other businesses in which the Company is engaged or could be deemed to be engaged. Consequently, the Company conducts certain of its operations and businesses in the PRC through its VIEs. The Company consolidates in its consolidated financial statements all of the VIEs of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

 

The following financial information of the Company’s consolidated VIEs (including subsidiary of VIEs) is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company via Porter Consulting earns commissions of $52,632 and $151,821 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 respectively, primarily from a third-party payment service provider when China UnionPay card transactions are completed and settled. Commissions of $70,536 and $271,059 were earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

 

The third-party payment provider is a China UnionPay card acquiring institution and earns processing fees from China UnionPay card transactions. The Company’s performance obligation is to promote, via Porter Consulting, the payment service of the third-party payment service provider to merchants in Shenzhen, for which the Company shares a portion of the processing fees earned by the third-party payment service provider from China UnionPay, as commission.

 

Service income from organizing and delivering an event and forum to the Company’s merchant clients in May 2017, totaled $59,808 and $1,303,432 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is recognized when the service is performed. No such income was earned in 2018.

 

Starting from the second quarter of 2018, the Company via Portercity provides various consulting services to its clients, especially to those who have the intention to be publicly listed in the stock exchanges in the United States and other countries. The Company categorizes its consulting services into three phases:

 

Phase I consulting services primarily include due diligence review, market research and feasibility study, business plan drafting, accounting record review, and business analysis and recommendations etc. Management estimates that Phase I normally takes around three months to complete based on its past experiences.

 

 

PORTER HOLDING INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

 (In U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

Phase II consulting services primarily include reorganization, pre-listing education and tutoring, talent search, legal and audit firm recommendation and coordination, VIE contracts and other public-listing related documents review, merger and acquisition planning, investor referral and pre-listing equity financing source identification and recommendation, independent directors and audit committee candidates recommendation etc. Management estimates that Phase II normally takes about five months to complete based its past experiences.

 

Phase III consulting services primarily include shell company identification and recommendation for customers expecting to become publicly listed through reverse merger transaction; assistance in preparation of customers’ registration statement under IPO transactions or Form 8-K under reverse merger transactions; assistance in answering comments and questions received from regulatory agencies etc. Management believes it is very difficult to estimate the timing of this phase of service as the completion of Phase III services is not within the Company’s control.

 

Under ASC Topic 606, in order to recognize revenue, the Company is required to identify an approved contract with commitments to perform respective obligations, identify rights of each party in the transaction regarding goods to be transferred, identify the payment terms for the goods transferred, verify that the contract has commercial substance and verify that collection of substantially all consideration is probable. Each phase of consulting services is standalone and fees associated with each phase are usually clearly identified in service agreements. Revenue from providing Phase I and Phase II consulting services to customers is recognized ratably over the estimated completion period of each phase only when the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Otherwise, such revenue is recognized at a point in time when services are delivered and accepted by customers. Revenue from providing Phase III consulting services to customers is recognized upon completion of reverse merger transaction or IPO transaction, which is evidenced by filing of 8-K for reverse merger transaction or receipt of effective notice from regulatory agencies for IPO transaction. Revenue that has been billed and not yet recognized is reflected as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

 

Depending on the complexity of the underlying service arrangement and related terms and conditions, significant judgments, assumptions and estimates may be required to determine when substantial delivery of contract elements has occurred, whether any significant ongoing obligations exist subsequent to contract execution, whether amounts due are collectible and the appropriate period or periods in which, or during which, the completion of the earnings process occurs. Depending on the magnitude of specific revenue arrangements, adjustment may be made to the judgments, assumptions and estimates regarding contracts executed in any specific period. Service income from consulting services, totaled $471,850 and $948,063 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, is recognized when the service is performed.

 

Other service income is earned when services have been rendered.

 

Contract Balances and Remaining Performance Obligations

 

Contract balances typically arise when a difference in timing between the transfer of control to the customer and receipt of consideration occurs. Contract assets, consist primarily of accounts receivable related to providing public listing related consulting services to the Company’s customers when revenue is recognized prior to payment and it has an unconditional right to payment. The Company had accounts receivable related to revenues from contracts with customers of $319,450 and $30,064 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We had no impairments related to these receivables during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our contract liabilities, which are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue, consist primarily of customer payments for public listing related consulting services in advance of satisfying t performance obligations.

 

The Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to service contracts with an original expected term of one year or less.

Net loss per share of common stock

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Segments

The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments, and then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meets the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has one reportable segment in the periods presented (see note 9). 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is:

 

Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place.

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, other current assets, accounts and other payables, and other short-term liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

 (In U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

In accordance with ASC 825, for investments in financial instruments with a variable interest rate indexed to performance of underlying assets, the Company elected the fair value method at the date of initial recognition and carried these investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as other income/(expense). To estimate fair value, the Company refers to the quoted rate of return provided by banks at the end of each period using the discounted cash flow method. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2 of fair value measurements.

 

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any outstanding investments in financial instruments. During the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, the investments held were issued by commercial banks in China, and had a variable interest rate indexed to performance of underlying assets. Since these investments had no pre-determined period of maturity, they are classified as short-term investments.

 

Gain on short-term investments was $698 and $6,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively; and $5 and $2,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Gain on short-term investments was included in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

 

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. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted these amendments with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the new revenue standards). The new revenue standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as its revenues continue to be recognized when the customer takes control of its services. As the Company did not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its service revenues, no adjustment to accumulated deficit was required upon adoption.

PRC Tax

The Company’s subsidiary and consolidated VIEs in China are subject to corporate income tax (“CIP”) at 25% for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) and State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) on 9 June 2017 jointly issued Cai Shui [2017] No. 43. This clarified that from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019, eligible small enterprises whose taxable income falls under RMB500,000 (previously RMB300,000), may pay CIT on 50% of their whole income at a rate of 20% (i.e., effective rate is 10%). 

 

Separately, the SAT on the same day issued Announcement [2017] No. 23 (“Announcement No. 23") further clarifying CIT collection matters:

 

 

Eligible small enterprise, no matter whether they are subject to CIT on an accounts assessment basis or on a deemed income basis, are entitled to enjoy this preferential CIT treatment.

 

 

Eligible small enterprises may enjoy this preferential tax treatment just by completing the relevant information in the tax filing form when they prepay CIT and perform CIT annual filing. No special record is required.

 

 

Announcement No. 23 clarifies that small enterprises shall prepay CIT on a quarterly basis. It also provides clarifications on how to apply this preferential CIT treatment in relation to small enterprise CIT prepayments in the following situations:

 

 

-

As a result, a valuation allowance was provided against the full amount of the potential tax benefits.

Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 5, 2013.  Our original business plan was to sell freshly squeezed juices from mobile stands in London, United Kingdom, but this business was not successful and we did not generate any revenue from this business.

 

On April 7, 2017, we completed the acquisition of PGL pursuant to a share purchase agreement.  As a result of the acquisition, PGL became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of PGL became the holders of approximately 98.4% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis.  For accounting purposes, the transaction with PGL was treated as a reverse acquisition, with PGL as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party.  Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of PGL and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Also on April 7, 2017, we changed our fiscal year end from February 28 to December 31.  This change was being effectuated in connection with the aforementioned reverse acquisition.

 

As a result of our acquisition of PGL, we now own all of the issued and outstanding shares of PGL, a holding company, which in turn owns all of the equity capital of PPBGL and its subsidiary. We changed our name to Porter Holding International, Inc. on May 8, 2017 to more accurately reflect our new business.

 

As described below in more detail, through our PRC VIEs that have contractual arrangements with PGL’s subsidiary, Qianhai Porter, we are at the early stage of developing our O2O (Online to Offline) business and our goal is to become a leading innovative O2O business platform operator providing both online E-commerce and offline physical business facilities to our customers.

 

Our Business Plan 

 

With the development of the mobile internet, e-commerce and social networks, the online and offline worlds are becoming increasingly more integrated.  O2O, standing for “online to offline”, is a term often used to describe a variety of e-commerce services that provide online information, services, or discounts to end-consumers that enhance their offline shopping experiences. The O2O business mode makes the shopping experience easier for both the merchants and end-consumers, with the ultimate goal to entice end-consumers to go to physical stores of merchants.  O2O can play a useful role in two forms of commerce: one is Online to Offline, the typical application scenarios where customers purchase a product or book a service online, and then go to an offline store to enjoy the face-to-face service or pick up the product.  However, the O2O commerce solutions industry in China is still in its early stages of development and is heavily fragmented with a wide range of services being introduced.  The O2O category stretches to include on-demand services like Didi Chuxing, the Chinese equivalent of Uber, Meituan and Dianping, China’s Groupon and Yelp, as well as click-and-collect services offered by traditional brick-and-mortar retailers. In China O2O also covers all manner of services that might not be cost effective to offer in Western markets, including pick-up dry cleaning, home haircuts or wholesale and fresh market delivery services.

 

As a newly established company with limited operation history, we are at the early stage of developing our O2O business and our goal is to become a leading innovative O2O business platform operator providing both online E- commerce and offline physical business facilities to our merchant customers, where they can conduct business, interact with their existing and potential end-consumers face to face.  Different from most other O2O companies, which often lack of integrated platforms, our goal is to provide one-stop services for our customers through our integrated online and offline platforms.  As described fully below, we are developing and intend to offer products and services including both hosting our online marketplaces, www.pt37.com and www.17yugo.com for our merchant clients to post and sell their products and services online and managing and operating physical business facilities, Porter City, that our online merchant clients can utilize to conduct their businesses offline.  We are currently developing merchant clients who are engaged in businesses including manufacturing, real estate, trade and financing.  In the future, we intend to expand our merchant client base to industries of big data, new materials, new energy, green food and environment protection.

 

 

Specifically, we are currently developing plans to provide following core products and services to our customers:

 

Online Product-www.pt37.com

 

Our pt37.com platform, registered as being qualified for ICP, is a commercial cloud platform to provide free services to various small and medium size merchants.   We provide platform-hosting services to our merchant customers who can post their company profile and business opportunities, list their products and services and products or services that they are seeking.  Each product page contains pictures of the product, the price, specifications of the product and consumer reviews and ratings. Depending on the type of product, there will be additional information to help the customer make a purchase decision or recommendations of similar products. Currently, listings on the pt37.com online marketplace cover categories such as Books, Video, Instruments, Home Appliance, Electronics, Home Furniture, Clothes, Automotive, Toys, Foods and Beauty.  Within each main content category, information is further sorted into sub-categories with various search criteria and parameters to allow users to refine their information search and increase the relevancy of their search results.  End-consumers may pay online at the time they place their order, using third-party online payment platforms such as Alipay, Wechat Pay and UnionPay.  We have not but may decide to charge our merchant clients fees in the future according to their trading volumes.

 

We currently have more than 9 million registered merchant members, among which starting in 2017, we plan to select and recommend certain amount of high-quality companies to set up physical presence, such as business centers, offices and stores, in our offline business facilities we plan to develop, Porter City, for their global production, trade and financial management activities.

 

In addition, starting late 2018, on a fixed monthly fee basis, we plan to provide value-added services to our merchant members through www.pt37.com, such as online advertisement and brand promotion.   We also plan to provide commercial services to our strategic cooperative partners that intend to have physical presence at our offline product, Porter City.  According to the development demand and future goals of our customers, we will offer a series of services such as business planning, financial guidance, business matching and guidance for listing in the US.

 

Online Product -www.17yugo.com

 

Our 17yugo.com platform, registered as being qualified for ICP, is developed specifically for the merchants that have physical presence at our offline product, Porter City.  Similar as our PT37.com platform, our merchant customers can post their company related information and list their products and services.  We plan to charge each merchant who registers on this website between RMB 50,000 to 100,000 as deposits.  As the platform provider and operator, we intend to provide our integrated end-to-end e-commerce support covering IT solutions, store operations, online marketing, customer services and online payment and settlement.  In addition to maintaining the website, as a part of our value-added services, we intend to deploy our big data collection technologies, analyze online and offline businesses’ operational data and customers’ consumption data and provide data analysis services to our merchant customers to help them manage their business operations and sales channel and customers expansion.  We also plan to develop and offer various financial products and services to our merchant customers such as loans and credits to support their business development.

 

Offline Product — Porter City

 

We currently do not own or operate any offline physical business facilities.  Porter City is our offline physical business facilities product that we plan to partner with real property owners and real estate developers to develop and offer to our online merchant customers so that they can interact with their customers directly.  These facilities are expected to have a total construction area in the range of one million to four million square meters and will be located in various geographic areas globally.  We currently plan to establish about 13 to 15 Porter City facilities, including 7 in China.  We do not intend to be engaged in the business of real estate development in connection with our Porter City product.  Instead, our business partners will provide real properties and conduct the real estate development.  After the business facilities are constructed, we will act as the property operator to manage and maintain these facilities.

 

To satisfy diverse demands of various merchant clients and end-customers, in each Porter City facility, we plan to set up enterprise headquarters, procurement centers, enterprise CEO clubs, innovation centers, warehouses and logistics, exhibition centers, culture travel streets and business service centers.  We believe such flexibility is a key to our future success.  Porter City will allow end-consumers to browse and review business information of our merchant customers online and then come in to the stores, business centers and other physical facilities in Porter City to complete their business transactions and activities.  By managing and maintain these physical facilities, we believe we will facilitate these kinds of modern merchandising methods.  In addition, in the next few years we plan to provide logistic support to help our merchant clients fulfill orders and deliver their products to end consumers.

 

 

Recent Development

According to the development demand and future goals of our customers, we start to offer a series of services such as business planning, financial guidance, business matching and guidance for listing primarily in the United States. At present, in our customer pool, many small and medium-sized enterprises have increased their public awareness. They are seeking the potential advantages of being a listed company and striving for obtaining the recognition of international capital to accelerate their corporate expansion. But many enterprises themselves may not be familiar with the listing requirements, laws and regulations of different capital markets, and the process of obtaining financing from overseas markets.

 

In order to help our customers who intend to access to the overseas capital market, we have a team of experienced professionals who have professional knowledge of the listing rules and regulations of various capital markets. We will make full use of our expertise and resources in the capital markets to assist these customers to achieve their goals.

 

Starting from the second quarter of 2018, through Portercity and Porter Commercial, we have been providing investment and corporate management consulting services to our clients, especially those who have the intention to be public listed in the stock exchanges in the United States and other countries. We categorize our consulting services into three phases:

 

 

Phase I consulting services primarily include due diligence review, market research and feasibility study, business plan drafting, accounting record review, and business analysis and recommendations. We estimate that Phase I normally takes around three months to complete based on our past experiences.

 

 

Phase II consulting services primarily include reorganization, pre-listing education and tutoring, talent search, legal and audit firm recommendation and coordination, VIE contracts and other public-listing related documents review, merger and acquisition planning, investor referral and pre-listing equity financing source identification and recommendation, independent directors and audit committee candidates recommendation. We estimate that Phase II normally takes about five months to complete based our past experiences.

 

 

Phase III consulting services primarily include shell company identification and recommendation for customers expecting to become publicly listed through reverse merger transaction; assistance in preparation of customers’ registration statement under IPO transactions or Form 8-K under reverse merger transactions; assistance in answering comments and questions received from regulatory agencies. We believe it is very difficult to estimate the timing of this phase of service as the completion of Phase III services is not within our control.

 

Each phase of consulting services is standalone and fees associated with each phase are usually clearly identified in service agreements. Revenue from providing Phase I and Phase II consulting services to customers is recognized ratably over the estimated completion period of each phase only when we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Otherwise, such revenue is recognized at a point in time when services are delivered and accepted by customers. Revenue from providing Phase III consulting services to customers is recognized upon completion of reverse merger transaction or IPO transaction, which is evidenced by filing of an 8-K for reverse merger transaction or receipt of effective notice from regulatory agencies for IPO transaction. Revenue that has been billed and not yet recognized is reflected as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

 

Depending on the complexity of the underlying service arrangement and related terms and conditions, significant judgments, assumptions and estimates may be required to determine when substantial delivery of contract elements has occurred, whether any significant ongoing obligations exist subsequent to contract execution, whether amounts due are collectible and the appropriate period or periods in which, or during which, the completion of the earnings process occurs. Depending on the magnitude of specific revenue arrangements, adjustment may be made to the judgments, assumptions and estimates regarding contracts executed in any specific period.

 

On June 28, 2018, Portercity and Mr. Zhibo Mao established Weifang Porter City Commercial Management Company Limited (“Weifang Portercity”) in Weifang, Shandong Province, the PRC, with a registered capital of RMB1,000,000 (approximately $146,000). Portercity and Mr. Zhibo Mao hold 60% and 40% equity interest in Weifang Portercity, respectively. Weifang Portercity is intended to be engaged in the business of providing various consulting services to its clients, especially to those who have the intention to be publicly listed in the stock exchanges in the United States and other countries. As of September 30, 2018, Weifang Portercity has not commenced operations.

Revenue. Our revenue was $1,111,437 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1,615,070 for the same period last year. Starting from the second quarter of 2018, we commenced to provide various consulting services to our customers, especially those who have the intention to be publicly listed primarily on the stock exchanges in the United States, and service income from the provision of these consulting services totaled $948,063 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, through Porter Consulting we also promoted the payment service of a third-party payment service provider to merchants in Shenzhen and in return share a portion of the processing fees earned by the third-party payment service provider as commission. Our commission totaled $151,821 and $271,059 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we through Portercity earned service income of $nil and $1,303,432 from organizing and delivering an event and forum to our merchant clients in May 2017.

 

Cost of revenue.  Our cost of revenue was $146,132 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1,660,732 for the same period last year. Our cost of revenue mainly includes fees paid to our sales agents and the cost incurred in relation to a forum which was held in May 2017. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred a cost of $1,449,645 for organizing a forum in May 2017.

 

Gross profit (loss) and gross margin. Our gross profit was $965,305 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with a gross loss of $45,662 for the same period last year. The gross loss incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was primarily resulted from the cost for organizing a forum in May 2017. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was 86.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a gross loss of 2.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $240,923 to $1,368,575 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $1,127,652 for the same period in 2017. We incurred more professional staff salary as we expanded our consulting services to customers.

 

Net loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss decreased by $780,995, to $404,314 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $1,185,309 for the same period in 2017.

 

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is limited historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, a narrow client base, limited sources of revenue, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.

 

 

Without additional funding, management believes that we will not have sufficient funds to meet our obligations beyond one year after the date our consolidated financial statements are issued. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have been, and intend to continue, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing. To date we have been dependent on related parties for our source of funding. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations or obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations and our expansion efforts. 

 

Currently we spend approximately $160,000 per month for basic operations. During the next 12 months, we expect to incur the same amount of expenses each month. However, as we work to expand our operations, we expect to incur significant research, marketing and development costs and expenses on our online service platforms that meet the constantly evolving industry standards and consumer demands. We will also need to hire additional employees in order to provide new services and accommodate new clients.

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $476,882. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through borrowings from our stockholders, related and unrelated parties.

 

Going Concern Uncertainties

 

 The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3,434,760 as of September 30, 2018, and we currently have net working capital deficit of $2,491,985. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. We may have to rely on additional debt financing, loans from existing directors and shareholders and private placements of capital stock for additional funding. Our sources of capital in the past have included borrowings from our stockholders and related parties. We believe that our current cash and financing from our existing stockholders are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $52,813 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $1,038,154 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was mainly due to our net loss of $404,314 and an increase in accounts receivable of $306,607, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $511,631 and a decrease in prepayments and other receivables of $109,289.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $64,941 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $78,932 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was mainly attributable to purchase of property, plant and equipment of $64,941. The net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was mainly attributable to net investments in short-term investments of $173,739, partially offset by repayment from related parties of $100,694.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $372,961, as compared to $287,414 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the first three quarters of 2018, we obtained advances of $1,689,205 from shareholders and repaid $1,417,613 to related parties. During the first three quarters of 2017, we obtained advances of $719,174 from shareholders and repaid $431,760 to related parties.

TOTAL

  $ 3,849,585     $ 3,065,594     $ 439,976     $ 256,653     $ 87,362  

 

We believe that our current cash and financing from our existing stockholders are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We incurred capital expenditures of $64,941 and $5,887 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

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, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors. 

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies 

 

Our condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2018. Please refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies –Recently issued accounting pronouncements,” for a discussion of relevant pronouncements.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. 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 under the Exchange Act 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 conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2018 due to the following material weaknesses that our management identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018:

 

 

1)

We do not have an Audit Committee — While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.

 

 

2)

We did not maintain appropriate cash controls — As of September 30, 2018, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.

 

 

3)

We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As of September 30, 2018, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.

 

 

 

4)

We did not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to evaluate the proper accounting and disclosures of key documents and agreements.

 

 

5)

We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.

 

We plan to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses as soon as practicable by implementing a plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting including, but not limited to, hiring additional staff and/or outside consultants experienced in US GAAP financial reporting as well as in SEC reporting requirements. Our management team will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements.

 

Our management does not believe that these material weaknesses had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2018 to contain a material misstatement.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except for the matters described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that would require disclosure under Item 103 of Regulation S-K. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
