CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance. Some discussions in this report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty.

 

A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this report. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. In some cases, you can also identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2018, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

The cautions outlined made in this statement and elsewhere in this document should not be construed as complete or exhaustive. In many cases, we cannot predict factors which could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Additionally, many items or factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control. We will not undertake an obligation to further update or change any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Nature of business and organization

 

XT Energy Group, Inc., formerly known as Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co. Ltd. (the “Company” or “XT Energy”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 2, 2008 as Goa Sweet Tours Ltd. On April 17, 2012, the Company entered into certain share purchase agreements, by and among Luck Sky International Investment Holdings Limited (“Lucky Sky”), an entity owned and controlled by Zhou Deng Rong, the former Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, and certain of the Company’s former stockholders who owned, in the aggregate, 7,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (90% of the then outstanding shares). On May 15, 2012, Luck Sky purchased all 7,200,000 shares for an aggregate of $235,000. Effective May 29, 2012, the Company’s name was changed to “Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd.”.

 

On May 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Luck Sky (Hong Kong) Aerodynamic Electricity Limited (“Xiangtian HK”) from its sole shareholder, Zhou Jian, who is also the Chairman of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, Xiangtian HK became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary and the wholly owned subsidiary of Xiangtian HK in the People’s Republic of China (“China,” or the “PRC”), Luck Sky Aerodynamic and Luck Sky (Shenzhen) Aerodynamic Electricity Limited (“Xiangtian Shenzhen”) became the Company’s indirect subsidiary through Xiangtian HK.

 

Effective October 31, 2016, the Company was reincorporated in Nevada as a result of its merger with and into our wholly owned Nevada subsidiary.

 

The Company is engaged in a variety of energy-related businesses through its subsidiaries and controlled entities in China. One of the businesses is in the field of Compressed Air Energy Storage in China and produces electricity generation systems that combine its compressed air storage technology with photovoltaic (“PV”) panels to achieve a continuous supply of power under weather conditions that are unfavorable to the generation of electricity from PV panels alone. The sales and installation of power generation systems and PV systems and the sales of PV Panels, air compression equipment and heat pump products have been carried through the Company’s variable interest entities (“VIE”), Sanhe Luck Sky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe Xiangtian”) and Xianning Xiangtian Energy Holding Group Co. Ltd. (“Xianning Xiangtian”), formerly known as Xianning Sanhe Power Equipment Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

 

In March 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed Xiangtian Zhongdian (Hubei) New Energy Co. Ltd. (“Xiangtian Zhongdian”), a joint venture in China, in which Xianning Xiangtian holds a 70% ownership interest with the remaining 30% ownership held by Nanjing Zhongdian Photovoltaic Co. Ltd. Xiangtian Zhongdian is in the business of manufacturing and sales of PV panels.

 

In April 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Jingshan Sanhe Xiangtian New Energy Technology Co. Ltd. (“Jingshan Sanhe”), which engaged in the business of researching, manufacturing and sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products.

 

In June 2018, Xianning Xiangtian acquired Hubei Jinli Hydraulic Co., Ltd. (“Hubei Jinli”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of hydraulic parts and electronic components, and acquired Tianjin Jiabaili Petroleum Products Co. Ltd. (“Tianjin Jiabaili”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of petroleum products (See Note 3 – Business combinations).

 

In August 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Trade Co. Ltd. (“Xiangtian Trade”), which is engaged in the business of trading chemical raw materials for the purpose of providing a stable supply for fuel product operation. Xiangtian Trade has no operations since it was incorporated.

 

In September and October 2018, Mr. Jian Zhou, the Company’s chairman and a shareholder of Xianning Xiangtian provided Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) 100,000,000 (approximately $14.5 million) as capital contribution to Xianning Xiangtian.

 

On November 5, 2018, the Company changed its name to XT Energy Group, Inc. through a merger with and into a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, which subsidiary was formed for purposes of the name change.

Reorganization

 

On September 30, 2018, Xiangtian Shenzhen terminated its variable interest entity agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) as part of its restructuring to facilitate the shift of business focus between entities controlled by the Company. After the restructuring, the Company’s headquarters is located in the city of Xianning, Hubei Province, and Sanhe Xiangtian, the Company’s previous headquarters, located in the city of Sanhe, Hebei Province, became the Company’s sales office. The VIE Agreements include the following:

 

Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian;
Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian;

Know-How Sub-License Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian; and
Powers of Attorney of the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders dated July 25, 2014.

 

In connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, on September 30, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian transferred its 100% equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders and the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders transferred their 100% equity interest of Sanhe Xiangtian to Xianning Xiangtian. As a result of the foregoing equity transfers, Sanhe Xiangtian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xianning Xiangtian.

 

On the same day, the Company, through Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, entered into a new series of variable interest entity agreements (“New VIE Agreements”), pursuant to which Xianning Xiangtian became the Company’s new contractually controlled affiliate. The New VIE Agreements allow us to:

 

exercise effective control over Xianning Xiangtian;
receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Xianning Xiangtian; and
have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Xianning Xiangtian when and to the extent permitted by the laws of the PRC.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xianning Xiangtian, the parties agreed to enter into a series of agreements, including Agreement of Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service, Know-How Sub-License Agreement, Equity Pledge Agreement, Exclusive Option Agreement and Power of Attorney. Specifically, Xiangtian Shenzhen will dispatch an operative team to Xianning Xiangtian to assist with Xianning Xiangtian with its planning and managing and regular business operations. The parties agree to share the cooperation profits as set forth in the New VIE Agreements. The term of cooperation is 10 years and may be unilaterally extended by Xiangtian Shenzhen.

 

Agreement of Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service

 

Pursuant to the Agreement of Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xianning Xiangtian, Xianning Xiangtian engaged Xiangtian Shenzhen to provide consulting, training, management services and technical support exclusively for a term of 10 years, which may be unilaterally extended by Xiangtian Shenzhen.

Exclusive Option Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Exclusive Option Agreement among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Xiangtian HK, Xianning Xiangtian and the shareholders holding an aggregate of 100% of Xianning Xiangtian’s equity interest (“Xianning Xiangtian Shareholders”), the Xianning Xiangtian Shareholders irrevocably granted Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK an exclusive option to purchase from them, at its discretion, to the extent permitted under the PRC law, all or part of their equity interest in Xianning Xiangtian, and the purchase price will be the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC laws. The timing, method and times of exercise of this option to purchase is within Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK’s sole discretion. In addition, each of the Xianning Xiangtian Shareholders agrees to waive their respective preemptive right when the other shareholder transfers the equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to Xiangtian Shenzhen or its designated party. The Xianning Xiangtian Shareholders further agree, among other things, without prior written consent of Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, not to transfer, sell or pledge their equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian. Without the prior written consent of Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, Xianning Xiangtian may not amend its articles of association, change the amount and structure of its registered capital or sell any of its assets or beneficial interest.

 

Equity Pledge Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Xianning Xiangtian and the Xianning Xiangtian Shareholders, the Xianning Xiangtian Shareholders pledged all of their respective equity interest in Xianning Xiangtian to Xiangtian Shenzhen to guarantee the performance of Xianning Xiangtian’s obligations under the New VIE Agreements, other than the Equity Pledge Agreement.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Liquidity

 

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing in the form of loans payable and loans from related parties have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Company. As of October 31, 2018, the Company’s net working capital was approximately $33,000 and the Company had cash of approximately $25.9 million. Although the Company believes that it can realize its current assets in the normal course of business, the Company’s ability to repay its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets and the future operating revenues generated from its operations.

 

The Company expects to realize the balance of its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If the Company is unable to realize its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, the Company may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

  the Company will continuously seek equity financing to support its working capital;
  other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions;
  financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s related parties or to obtain due date extension of approximately $5.5 million current payable balance as of October 31, 2018 from its related parties.

 

Based on the above considerations, the Company’s management is of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet the Company’s working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due one year from the date of this report. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in their plans. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the Company’s plans, such as changes in the demand for the Company’s products or installations, PRC government policy, economic conditions, and competitive pricing in the industries that the Company operated in.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s July 31, 2018 annual report on Form 10-K filed on October 30, 2018.

 

Principles of consolidation

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated cost used to calculate the percentage of completion recognized in the Company’s revenues, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for advance to suppliers doubtful accounts, allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of the assets and the liabilities of the entity acquired through its business combination, valuation of warranty reserves, contingent consideration liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Variable interest entities

 

On September 30, 2018, Xiangtian Shenzhen terminated the VIE Agreements as part of its restructuring to facilitate the shift of business focus between entities controlled by the Company. After the restructuring, the Company’s headquarter is now located in the city of Xianning, Hubei Province, and Sanhe Xiangtian, the Company’s previous headquarters, located in the city of Sanhe, Hebei Province, has become the Company’s sales office. The VIE Agreements include the following:

 

Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian;
Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian;
Exclusive Option Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Sanhe Xiangtian and Shanhe Xiangtian Shareholders;
Equity Pledge Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Sanhe Xiangtian and the Shanhe Xiangtian Shareholders;
Know-How Sub-License Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian; and
Powers of Attorney of the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders dated July 25, 2014.

 

In connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, on September 30, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian transferred its 100% equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders and the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders transferred their 100% equity interest of Sanhe Xiangtian to Xianning Xiangtian. As a result of the foregoing equity transfers, Sanhe Xiangtian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xianning Xiangtian.

 

On the same day, the Company, through Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, entered into the New VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Xianning Xiangtian became the Company’s new contractually controlled affiliate.

 

The principal terms of the agreements entered into among Xianning Xiangtian and Xiangtian Shenzhen, the primary beneficiary, are described below:

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivables, net, are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debts determined by management are based on historical experience as well as the current economic climate and are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.

 

Inventories, net

 

Inventories, net, consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. When appropriate, allowances to inventories are recorded to write down the cost of inventories to their net realizable value.

Management reviews its advances to suppliers on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.

Property, Plant and equipment, net

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service. Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets’ estimated residual value:

 

Classification   Estimated Useful Life   Estimated Residual Value

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

All land in the PRC is owned by the government; however, the government grants “land use rights.” The Company has obtained rights to use various parcels of land for 50 years through the acquisition of Hubei Jinli in June 2018.

 

Technology know-hows, including LSC Hand-Held Diesel Pump, CB-39 Motor Oil Pump, 0-16 MPa series hydraulic cylinder, brake cylinder and hydraulic value, and certain special operating licenses were acquired through the acquisition of Hubei Jinli and Tianjin Jiabaili in June 2018 with estimated finite useful lives between 4.5 years to 10 years.

 

Certain PV panel certifications were contributed by the Company’s noncontrolling interest shareholders as capital contribution in March 2018 with an estimated finite useful lives of 10 years.

 

The Company also acquired a safety production license with a finite useful of 3 years in June 2018.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. As of October 31 and July 31, 2018, no impairment of goodwill was recognized.

 

Impairment for Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including plant and equipment and intangible with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

 

Subscription receivable

 

Subscription receivable represents unpaid capital contribution from its shareholders.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of October 31, 2018.

 

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2018:

 

Financial liabilities  Carrying Value
as of
October 31,
2018
   Fair Value Measurements at October 31, 2018
Using Fair Value Hierarchy
 
       Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Contingent payment consideration liabilities (see Note 3)  $324,121   $    -   $     -   $324,121 

 

Financial liabilities  Carrying Value
as of 
July 31,
2018
   Fair Value Measurements at July 31, 2018
Using Fair Value Hierarchy
 
       Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Contingent payment consideration liabilities (see Note 3)  $331,505   $    -   $    -   $331,505 

 

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and for the year ended July 31, 2018:

 

   October 31,
2018
   July 31,
2018
 
Beginning balance  $331,505   $- 
Contingent liability obligated from business combinations   -    341,411 
Exchange rate effect   (7,384)   (9,906)
Ending balance  $324,121   $331,505 

 

The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advance to suppliers, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, prepaid expenses, other receivables, loan receivables, short-term loans, accounts payable, advances from customers, other payables and accrued liabilities, tax payables and short-term investment payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying amount of long-term investment payable reported in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value as the rate of amortization of investment payment discount used were similar to interest rate charged by the bank in the PRC. As of October 31 and July 31, 2018, long-term investment payable balance was $5,973,113, net of discount of $876,577 and $7,205,133, net of discount of $869,173, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

 

On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of July 31, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.

 

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized over time for the Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems and are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of products.

 

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.

 

Sale and installation of power generation systems

 

Sales of power generation system in conjunction of system installation are generally recognized based on the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, which essentially the same as the percentage of completion method prior to August 1, 2018 for its installation project. Therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet completed. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that costs expended to date bear to anticipated final total costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. Adjustments to the original estimates of the total contract revenue, total contract costs, or the extent of progress toward completion are often required as work progresses. Such changes and refinements in estimation are reflected in reported results of operations as they occur; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate to the unit material cost, the quantity of materials to be used, the installation cost and those indirect costs related to contract performance. The estimate of unit material cost is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information available in the supply markets. The estimate of material quantity to be used for completion and the installation cost is also reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information on the progress of project execution. If the supply market conditions or the progress of project execution were different, it is likely that materially different amounts of contract costs would be used in the percentage of completion method of accounting. Thus the uncertainty associated with those estimates may impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Claims for additional contract costs are recognized upon a signed change order from the customer.

 

The installation revenues and sales of equipment and system component are combined and considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer the equipment and system component and installation are not separately identifiable, which is evidencing by the fact that the Company provides a significant services of integrating the goods and services into a power generation system for which the customer has contracted. The Company currently do not have any modification of contract and the contract currently does not have any variable consideration.

Sales of products

 

The Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon delivery of products. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied and based on when control of goods transfer to a customer, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to August 1, 2018.

 

The Company’s disaggregate sale of products streams for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 are summarized as follows:

 

   For the three months
Ended 
October 31,
2018
   For the three months
Ended

Hydraulic parts and electronic components   1,155,735    - 
Total revenue  $19,599,106   $305,640 

 

Warranty

 

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for up to five years following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warrants are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate. There were no such reserves record for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017. No right of return exists on sales of inventory. As of October 31 and July 31, 2018, accrued warranty expense amounted to $64,325 and $67,651, respectively, and classified in the caption “other payables and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Advertising costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs amounted to $31,972 and $0 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Employee benefit

 

The full-time employees of the Company are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, pension benefits, unemployment insurance and other welfare, which are government mandated defined contribution plans. The Company is required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations, and make cash contributions to the state-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued. Total expenses for the plans were $42,722 and $26,327 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Value added taxes

 

The Company is subject to value added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from sales of goods purchased from other entities is generally subject to VAT at the rate of 16% starting in May 2018 or at the rate of 17% in April 2018 and prior. The Company is entitled to a refund for VAT already paid on goods purchased. The VAT balance is recorded in other payables on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenues are presented net of applicable VAT.

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

 

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. PRC tax returns filed in 2015 to 2017 are subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company had other comprehensive (loss) income of ($380,986) and 89,875 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, from foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as substantially all of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ operations use this denomination. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

 

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of subsidiaries in PRC, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in United States Dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 6.9758 and 6.8204 as of October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018, respectively; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period, which is 6.8779 and 6.6227 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of the subsidiary in Hong Kong, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in United States Dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.8404 and 7.8490 as of October 31, 2018 and July 31, 2018, respectively; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period, which is 7.8417, 7.8135 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Earnings (loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Loss per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potential dilutive securities for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Statutory Reserves

 

Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve fund”. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the “statutory surplus reserve fund” requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the “reserve fund”. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the “reserve fund” cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). If the Company has accumulated loss from prior periods, the Company is able to use the current period net income after tax to offset against the accumulate loss. For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has contributed $149,543 and $0, respectively, to the statutory reserves.

 

Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. Management does not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation such as segregating the selling and general and administrative expenses for comparative purpose. These reclassifications have no effect on the reported revenues, net income (loss) or total assets.

 

Note 3 – Business combinations

 

Acquisition of Hubei Jinli

 

On June 21, 2018, Xianning Xiangtian entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Jinli Agreement”) with Sheng Zhou and Heping Zhang, former shareholders of Hubei Jinli (collectively the “Jinli Sellers”). Neither Xianning Xiangtian nor its affiliates have any material relationship with the Jinli Sellers other than with respect to the Jinli Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Jinli Agreement, Xianning Xiangtian agreed to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Hubei Jinli collectively held by the Jinli Sellers (the “Jinli Acquisition”), for an aggregate consideration of RMB 150 million (approximately $23.18 million), consisting of the following: (a) RMB 40 million (approximately $6.18 million) in cash (the “Jinli Cash Portion”); and (b) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Jinli Stock Portion”) which shall have a value equal to RMB 80.07 million (approximately $12.37 million). The price per share will be determined by the average daily closing price of Xiangtian’s common stock for the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018; and (c) an assumption by Xianning Sanhe of Hubei Jinli’s existing bank loan from Hubei Xianning Rural Commercial Bank in the principal amount of RMB 29.93 million (approximately $4.63 million). The existing bank loan did not count toward the purchase price as it is considered to be assumed debt as part of the Hubei Jinli’s net assets. Pursuant to the Jinli Agreement, the Jinli Cash Portion shall be paid within seven days of the Jinli Agreement, and the Jinli Acquisition shall be closed within one month after payment of the Jinli Cash Portion. On June 21, 2018, Xianning Xiangtian, entered into a supplemental agreement to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Supplement Agreement”) with the Jinli Sellers, pursuant to which the Jinli Sellers have the right to demand that Xianning Xiangtian pay RMB 80.07 million (approximately $12.37 million) plus interest to repurchase the Stock Portion if the Company does not list its common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market by June 21, 2019.

 

On June 30, 2018, the parties consummated the Jinli Acquisition.

 

Pursuant to the Supplement Agreement, after the Jinli Acquisition, should Hubei Jinli’s annual net profit (the “Jinli Net Profit”) exceed RMB 10 million (approximately $1.55 million), Xianning Xiangtian shall pay the Jinli Sellers 20% of the Jinli Net Profit and if the Jinli Net Profit reaches RMB 5 million (approximately $773,000), but less than RMB 10 million (approximately $1.55 million), Xianning Xiangtian shall pay the Jinli Sellers 10% of the Jinli Net Profit. On August 25, 2018, Xianning Xiangtian and the Jinli Sellers amended this annual net profit sharing clause to define the annual net profit sharing period to be one year from June 21, 2018 to June 20, 2019.

On August 11, 2018, Xianning Xiangtian and the Jinli Sellers amended the payment term of the Jinli Stock Portion which shall have a value equal to RMB 80.07 million (approximately $12.37 million) to comprise three cash installments of 1) first installment of RMB 25 million (approximately $3.95 million) payable by June 20, 2019, 2) second installment of RMB 25 million (approximately $3.95 million) payable by June 20, 2020, and 3) third installment of RMB 30.07 million (approximately $4.75 million) payable by June 20, 2021.

 

The Company’s acquisition of Hubei Jinli was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has allocated the purchase price of Hubei Jinli based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The Company estimated the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date in accordance with the business combination standard issued by the FASB with the valuation methodologies using level 3 inputs, except for other current assets and current liabilities were valued using the cost approach. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from independent appraisers. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.

The above fair value valuation is a preliminary assessment. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value and to be finalized within one year from the acquisition date on June 30, 2018.

 

Approximately $3.9 million of goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of synergies expected from combining the operations of Xianning Xiangtian and Hubei Jinli. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

There are no changes to the fair value measurement of contingent liability since acquisition as there is no material change to Hubei Jinli’s operations for the three months ended October 31, 2018.

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations presents the Company’s financial results as if the acquisition of Hubei Jinli had been completed on August 1, 2017.

Note 14 – Income taxes

 

Income tax

 

United States

 

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Act”) was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 34% to 21%. As the Company has a July 31 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28.6% for the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. Accordingly, the Company has remeasured the Company’s deferred tax assets on net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) in the U.S at the lower enacted cooperated tax rate of 21%. However, this remeasurement has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets previously.

 

Additionally, the Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused us to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOLs and recorded one time income tax payable to be paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign earnings prior to December 31, 2017 which the Company has foreign cumulative losses at December 31, 2017.

 

British Virgin Islands

 

Xiangtian BVI is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current British Virgin Islands law. In addition, upon payments of dividends by these entities to their shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

 

Hong Kong

 

Xiangtian HK is incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5% in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax law, Xiangtian HK is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

 

PRC

 

The Company PRC subsidiaries and VIEs and their controlled entities are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are subject to income tax at a rate of 25% after appropriate tax adjustments.

 

Significant components of the income tax expense consisted of the following for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017: 

 

   2018   2017 
Current  $543,513   $2,835

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of October 31 and July 31, 2018 are approximately as follows:

 

   October 31,
2018
   July 31,
2018
 
Deferred tax assets:          
Net operating loss carry forwards  $879,015   $911,400 
Accounts receivable allowance   295,242    343,500 
Accrued liabilities   71,307    50,600 
Warranty and other   16,082    16,400 
Deferred tax assets before valuation allowance   1,261,646    1,321,900 
Less: valuation allowance   (1,244,521)   (1,321,900)
Net deferred tax assets  $17,125   $- 

 

As of October 31, 2018, the Company had U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $3,650,600 that expire beginning in 2029 to 2038 with deferred tax assets of approximately $766,600. As of October 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $430,100 of NOLs related to its PRC subsidiaries and VIEs that expire in years 2019 through 2023 with deferred tax assets of approximately $107,500. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future generation for taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance as of July 31, 2018. During the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company’s PRC entities has started to generating income, as a result, additional temporary difference generated from these entities during the three months ended October 31, 2018 are recognized as deferred tax assets without fully reserved for allowance.

 

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.

 

If applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other Income (Expense)” in the statement of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and Administrative Expenses” in the statement of operations. The Company filed its July 31, 2016 and 2017 corporation income tax return in November 2018. No interest or penalty on unpaid tax in relation to the late filings was recorded during the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of October 31 and July 31, 2018, other than discussed above, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next quarter.

Note 15 – Commitments and contingencies

 

Operating leases

 

The total future minimum lease payments under the non-cancellable operating leases as of October 31, 2018 are payable as follows:

 

Twelve months ending October 31,   Minimum lease payment  
2019   $ 1,176,723  
2020     1,211,542  
2021     1,262,342  
2022     568,515  
2023     316,071  
Thereafter     60,448  
Total minimum payments required   $ 4,595,641  

  

Rental expense of the Company for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were $158,018 and $19,710, respectively.

 

Purchase commitment

 

The total future minimum purchase commitment under the non-cancellable purchase contracts as of October 31, 2018 are payable as follows:

 

Twelve months ending October 31,  Minimum purchase commitment 
2019  $179,012 
Thereafter   - 
Total minimum payments required  $179,012 

 

Contingencies

 

On September 23, 2013, the Company issued 60,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at $0.001 per share to Mr. Roy Thomas Phillips, who was then a consultant to the Company and later served as the acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company beginning July 29, 2014, and two other non-related parties obtained a total of 7,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. The shares were issued in contemplation of a secondary offering. The Company takes the position that these shares should be cancelled since no secondary offering was consummated. The Company is taking steps to have these shares canceled. The Company valued the 67,000,000 shares of common stock issued at $67,000 as there was no market for the Company’s common stock and it has limited or no trading; and there is thought to be minimal value in the Company at the time of issuance, therefore the par value is thought to match the assumed market price of the Company’s common stock which is at $0.001 per share. The Company might incur additional expenses to have these shares canceled. On July 24, 2015, 7,000,000 shares issued to two other non-related parties were cancelled. For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, the dilutive effect of not canceling the 60,000,000 shares is incorporated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company recorded such shares as issued and outstanding. For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, not canceling the 60,000,000 shares has an anti-dilutive effect. If the shares are not voluntarily returned for cancellation, the Company will need to commence litigation in Nevada to obtain a judgment to cancel the shares for lack of consideration. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the cost such litigation if it takes place.

 

Variable interest entity structure

 

In the opinion of management, (i) the corporate structure of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the New VIE Agreements are valid and binding, and do not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the business operations of Xiangtian Shenzhen and the VIE are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.

 

However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to the foregoing opinion of its management. If the current corporate structure of the Company or the New VIE Agreements is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its corporate structure and operations in the PRC to comply with changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current corporate structure or the New VIE Agreements is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

Note 18 – Segment reporting

 

Starting in April 2018, the Company begins to evaluate performance and to determine resource allocations based on a number of factors, the primary measure being income from operations of the Company’s six reportable divisions in the PRC: Sanhe Xiangtian, Xianning Xiangtian, Xiangtian Zhongdian, Jingshan Sanhe, Hubei Jinli, and Tianjin Jiabaili. Tianjin Jiabaili does not has any operations as of October 31, 2018. Prior period numbers are broken down for purposes of comparison.

 

These reportable divisions are consistent with the way the Company manages its business, each division operates under separate management groups and produces discrete financial information. The accounting principles applied at the operating division level in determining income (loss) from operations is generally the same as those applied at the consolidated financial statement level.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

   

Overview

 

XT Energy Group, Inc., formerly known as Xiangtian(USA) Air Power Co. Ltd. (the “Company” or “XT Energy” or “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terminology) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 2, 2008 as Goa Sweet Tours Ltd. On April 17, 2012, the Company entered into certain share purchase agreements, by and among Luck Sky International Investment Holdings Limited (“Lucky Sky”), an entity owned and controlled by Zhou Deng Rong, former Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, and certain of the Company’s former stockholders who owned, in the aggregate, 7,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (90% of the then outstanding shares). On May 15, 2012, Luck Sky purchased all 7,200,000 shares for an aggregate of $235,000. Effective May 29, 2012, the Company’s name was changed to “Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd.”.

 

On May 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Luck Sky (Hong Kong) Aerodynamic Electricity Limited (“Xiangtian HK”) from its sole shareholder, Zhou Jian, who is also the Chairman of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, Xiangtian HK became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary and the wholly owned subsidiary of Xiangtian HK in the People’s Republic of China (“China,” or the “PRC”), Luch Sky Aerodynamic and Luck Sky (Shenzhen) Aerodynamic Electricity Limited (“Xiangtian Shenzhen”) became the Company’s indirect subsidiary through Xiangtian HK.

 

Effective October 31, 2016, we were reincorporated in Nevada as a result of our merger with and into our wholly owned Nevada subsidiary.

 

The Company is engaged in a variety of energy-related businesses through its subsidiaries and controlled entities in China. One of the businesses is in the field of Compressed Air Energy Storage in China and produces electricity generation systems that combine its compressed air storage technology with photovoltaic (“PV”) panels to achieve a continuous supply of power under weather conditions that are unfavorable to the generation of electricity from PV panels alone. The sales and installation of power generation systems and PV systems and the sales of PV panels, air compression equipment and heat pump products have been carried through the Company’s variable interest entities (“VIE”), Sanhe Luck Sky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe Xiangtian”) and Xianning Xiangtian Energy Holding Group Co. Ltd. (“Xianning Xiangtian”), formerly known as Xianning Sanhe Power Equipment Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

 

In March 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed Xiangtian Zhongdian (Hubei) New Energy Co. Ltd. (“Xiangtian Zhongdian”), a joint venture in China, in which Xianning Xiangtian holds a 70% ownership interest with the remaining 30% ownership held by Nanjing Zhongdian Photovoltaic Co. Ltd. Xiangtian Zhongdian is in the business of manufacturing and sales of PV panels.

 

In April 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Jingshan Sanhe Xiangtian New Energy Technology Co. Ltd. (“Jingshan Sanhe”), which is engaged in the business of researching, manufacturing and sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products.

 

In June 2018, Xianning Xiangtian acquired Hubei Jinli Hydraulic Co., Ltd. (“Hubei Jinli”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of hydraulic parts and electronic components, and acquired Tianjin Jiabaili Petroleum Products Co. Ltd. (“Tianjin Jiabaili”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of petroleum products (Note 3 – Business combinations).

 

In August 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Trade Co. Ltd. (“Xiangtian Trade”), which is engaged in the business of trading chemical raw materials for the purpose of providing a stable supply for fuel product operation. Xiangtian Trade has no operations since it was incorporated.

 

In September and October 2018, Mr. Jian Zhou, the Company’s chairman and a shareholder of Xianning Xiangtian provided RMB 100,000,000 (approximately $14.5 million) as capital contribution to Xianning Xiangtian.

 

On November 5, 2018, the Company changed its name to XT Energy Group, Inc. through a merger with and into its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of affecting the name change.

Reorganization

 

On September 30, 2018, Xiangtian Shenzhen terminated its variable interest entity agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) as part of its restructuring to facilitate the shift of business focus between entities controlled by the Company. After the restructuring, the Company’s headquarter is located in the city of Xianning, Hubei Province, and Sanhe Xiangtian, the Company’s previous headquarter, located in the city of Sanhe, Hebei Province, is restructured as our sales office. The VIE Agreements include the following:

 

Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian;
Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian;
Exclusive Option Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Sanhe Xiangtian and all the shareholders of Sanhe Xiangtian (“Shanhe Xiangtian Shareholders”);
Equity Pledge Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Sanhe Xiangtian and the Shanhe Xiangtian Shareholders;
Know-How Sub-License Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian; and
Powers of Attorney of the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders dated July 25, 2014.

 

In connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, on September 30, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian transferred its 100% equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders and the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders transferred their 100% equity interest of Sanhe Xiangtian to Xianning Xiangtian. As a result of the foregoing equity transfers, Sanhe Xiangtian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xianning Xiangtian.

 

On the same day, the Company, through Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, entered into a new series of variable interest entity agreements (“New VIE Agreements”), pursuant to which Xianning Xiangtian became the Company’s new contractually controlled affiliate. The New VIE Agreements allow us to:

 

exercise effective control over Xianning Xiangtian;
receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Xianning Xiangtian; and
have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Xianning Xiangtian when and to the extent permitted by the laws of the PRC.

 

As a result of the New VIE Agreements, the Company has become the primary beneficiary of Xianning Xiangtian, and it treats Xianning Xiangtian as its variable interest entity under U.S. GAAP. The Company will continue to consolidate the financial results of Xianning Xiangtian in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above reorganization has no effect to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the current period and thereafter.

 

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

 

Our ability to build our brand and expand our sales distribution channel

 

We market our products through third-party distributors in 24 provinces in China and through employees for direct sales. The distributors sell our products and receive commissions based on the value of the contracts. We utilize three classes of distributors based on the size of their territory – province, city and town. The distributors target factories and power plants, as well as local governments which may encourage local industry to utilize alternate energy sources. Our revenue growth will be affected by our ability to effectively execute our marketing strategies to build our brand and to expand our sales distribution channel through other sources other than through our distributors.

 

PRC economy

 

Although the PRC economy has grown in recent years, the pace of growth has slowed, and growth rates may continue to decline. According to the PRC National Bureau of Statistics of China, the annual rate of growth in the PRC declined from 7.6% in 2014, to 7.0% in 2015, 6.8% in 2016, 6.9% in 2017 and 6.8% in 2018. A further slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn, a recession or other adverse economic development in the PRC may materially reduce the purchasing power of Chinese consumers and thus lead to a decrease in the demand for our products. Such a decrease in demand may have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

37

 

 

PRC governmental regulations

 

We are subject to a variety of governmental regulations related to the storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials. The major environmental regulations applicable to us include the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC, the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and its implementation rules, the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution and its implementation rules, the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution and the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution and the PRC Law on Appraising Environment Impacts. In addition, under the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC, the Ministry of Environmental Protection sets national pollutant emission standards. However, provincial governments may set stricter local standards, which are required to be registered at the State Administration for Environmental Protection. Enterprises are required to comply with the stricter of the two standards. Unfavorable changes could affect the delivery timing of our services and products that we provide and could materially and adversely affect the results of operations.

Revenue

 

Our revenue consist of installment of power generation systems and the sales of PV panels and others, air compression equipment and other components, heat pump products, high-grade synthetic fuel products, and hydraulic parts and electronic components for the three months ended October 31, 2018.

 

Total revenues increased by $19,633,244, or 5,527.5%, to $19,988,438 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to $355,194 for the three months ended October 31, 2017. The overall increase was primarily attributable to the increase of revenue generated from installing power generation systems, sales of PV panels and other products, air compression equipment and other components, heat pumps, high-grade synthetic fuel, hydraulic parts and electronic components.

Total revenue  $19,988,438   $355,194   $19,633,244    5,527.5%

 

Installation of power generation systems revenue increased by $339,778 or 685.7% from $49,554 for the three months ended October 31, 2017 to $389,332 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 due to the increase in installation project size. We only had one major installation project during the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to a few significantly smaller projects during the three months ended October 31, 2017. We will keep searching for large installation projects to increase our revenue but we may not continue to experience this rate of increase in the future. Sales of PV panels and others increased by $8,796,204 or 2,878.0% from $305,640 for the three months ended October 31, 2017 to $9,101,844 for the same period in 2018. The increase in sales of PV panels and others was entirely attributable to our 70% owned subsidiary, Xiangtian Zhongdian, established in March 2018, which is in the business of manufacturing and sales of PV panels. Sales of air compression equipment and other components increased by $1,001,211 or 100.0% and the sales of heat pumps increased by $4,243,564 or 100.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Air compression equipment and other components and heat pumps are parts of the installation of power generation systems, which were not sold separately during the three months ended October 31, 2017 while we sold them as separate components as a result of our marketing efforts during the three months ended October 31, 2018, which resulted in the increase of sales revenues.

 

Sales of high-grade synthetic fuel increased by $4,096,752 or 100.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 due to our establishment of Jingshan Sanhe in April 2018 which  is engaged in the business of researching, manufacturing and sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products. We expect our sales of high-grade synthetic fuel will continue to increase significantly as we expand our product offering to include synthetic fuel for diesel vehicles, which already passed the testing inspection.

 

Sales of hydraulic parts and electronic components increased by $1,155,735 or 100.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 due to our acquisition of Hubei Jinli in June 2018 which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of hydraulic parts and electronic components.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Total cost of revenue increased by $15,475,279, or 4,871.9%, to $15,792,923 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to $317,644 for the same period in 2017. The increase in cost of revenue was in line with the increase of revenue.

Our gross profit increased by $4,157,965, or 11,073.1%, to $4,195,515 during the three months ended October 31, 2018 from $37,550 for the same period in 2017. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the significant increase in revenues contributed by Xiangtian Zhongdian, established in March 2018, Jingshan Sanhe, established in April 2018, and Hubei Jinli, acquired in June 2018.

 

For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, our overall gross profit percentage was 21.0% and 10.6%, respectively. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the increase in sales of our high-grade synthetic fuel products, hydraulic parts and electronic components, which generally have a higher gross profit percentage.

 

Gross profit percentage for our installation of power generation systems revenue was 8.2% and 23.3% for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to the increase in installation of power generation systems revenue offset by a higher percentage increase in cost as we allocated more resources to complete the installation project and spent more on overhead during the three months ended October 31, 2018.

 

Gross profit percentage for PV panels and others revenue was 10.0% and 8.5% for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of gross profit percentage was relatively consistent for both periods.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses increased by $767,732 or 86.6% from $886,152 during the three months ended October 31, 2017 to $1,653,884 during the same period in 2018. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in selling expenses of $97,092 and the increase in general and administrative expenses of $835,527 offset by the recovery of doubtful accounts of $164,887 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

 

The increase in selling expenses of approximately $97,000 was mainly attributable to the increase in salaries of approximately $50,000 due to the increased number of sales representatives, the increase in travel expenses of approximately $18,000, and the increase in other miscellaneous selling expenses, such as meals and entertainment, insurance, and benefits of approximately $18,000. The above increases were mainly attributable to the added operations from Xiangtian Zhongdian, established in March 2018, Jingshan Sanhe, established in April 2018, and Hubei Jinli, acquired in June 2018.

 

The increase in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses of approximately $836,000 was mainly attributable to the increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $114,000, the increase in salary, social insurance expenses, benefits, and travel expenses of approximately $337,000, and the increase in professional fees such as legal, audit and consulting of approximately $115,000. The above increases were mainly attributable to the added operations from Xiangtian Zhongdian, established in March 2018, Jingshan Sanhe, established in April 2018, Hubei Jinli, acquired in June 2018 and Tianjin Jiabaili acquired in June 2018.

 

Research and Development (“R&D”)

 

For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, we have incurred R&D expense of $3,047 and $0, respectively. We have not incurred any significant expenses for research and development from inception through October 31, 2018. Company employees only conduct basic research and do not work on a specific plan or project to which expenses can be allocated.

Other income (expenses), net

 

Total other expenses increased by $433,175 or 10,557.5% from $4,103 during the three months ended October 31, 2017 to $437,278 during the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase in total other expenses was mainly attributable to related parties loan and third parties loan that we obtained in 2018 to pay for the initial acquisition payments in relation to the acquisition of Hubei Jinli and Tianjin Jiabaili in June 2018. In addition, Hubei Jinli has existing bank loans prior to our acquisition. As a result, we have incurred approximately $353,000 interest expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2017. Furthermore, the acquisition of Hubei Jinli also includes three installment payments to be due on each of the June 20 of 2019, 2020 and 2021, which resulted in amortization of debt discount of our investment payable of approximately $124,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2017.

 

Income tax expense

 

Our income tax expense was $526,144 (which consists of current income tax of $543,513 and deferred income tax benefit of $17,369) and $2,835 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our income tax expense was incurred by our profitable subsidiaries/variable interest entities in both periods and we have provided 100% allowance on net operating losses for our subsidiaries/variable interest entities for which it has incurred losses. The income tax benefit of $17,369 was generated from one of our subsidiaries which just started to generate profit and we did not provide 100% allowance for the temporary difference on valuation allowance on doubtful accounts.

 

Net income (loss)

 

Our net income increased by $2,433,749, or 284.5%, to $1,578,209 for the three months ended October 31, 2018, from net loss of $855,540 for the same period in 2017. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Capital Resources

 

In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing in the form of loans payable and loans from related parties have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of us. As of October 31, 2018, our working capital was approximately $33,000 and we had cash of approximately $25.9 million. Although we believe that we can realize our current assets in the normal course of business, our ability to repay our current obligations will depend on the future realization of our current assets and the future operating revenues generated from our operations.

 

We expect to realize the balance of our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If we are unable to realize our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, we may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

    we will continuously seek equity financing to support its working capital;
  other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions;
  financial support and credit guarantee commitments from our related parties or to obtain due date extension of approximately $5.5 million current payable balance as of October 31, 2018 from our related parties.

 

Based on the above considerations, our management is of the opinion that we have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due for at least one year from the date of this report. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in our plans. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine our plans, such as changes in the demand for our products or installations, PRC government policy, economic conditions, and competitive pricing in the industries that we operated in.

Operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $16.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.0 million for the same period in 2017.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was mainly due to net income of approximately $1.6 million, the decrease in notes receivable as we collected bank notes of approximately $0.8 million, the decrease in accounts receivable as we collected approximately $2.4 million, and the increase of advance from customers of approximately $17.3 million as we have received significant sales orders for our high-grade synthetic fuel products which require customer deposits. The net cash provided by operating activities was offset by the increase in advance to suppliers of approximately $3.7 million as we prepaid for more purchase in the anticipation of sales productions and the decrease in accounts payable as we paid off approximately $1.7 million to our vendors as the payments becomes due.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended October 31, 2017 was mainly due to net loss of approximately $0.9 million, the decrease in accounts payable of approximately $0.8 million and the decrease in advance from customers of approximately $0.3 million offset by the decrease of accounts receivable of approximately $0.7 million and the decrease of advance to suppliers of approximately $0.2 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $0.2 million for the same period in 2017.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2018 was mainly due to the partial investment payments of approximately $3.7 million that we made in relation to the acquisition of Hubei Jinli and Tianjin Jiabaili, the purchase of property and equipment of approximately $0.5 million for our business expansion offset by the collection of loan receivable of approximately $1.8 million.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2017 was due to the issuance of notes receivable of approximately $0.2 million.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 as compare to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.1 million for the same period in 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

44

 

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated cost used to calculate the percentage of completion recognized in our revenues, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for advance to suppliers doubtful accounts, allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of the assets and the liabilities of the entity acquired through our business combination, valuation of warranty reserves, contingent consideration liabilities, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On August 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of June 30, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as our revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.

 

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that we will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in such exchange. This will require us to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. Our revenue streams are recognized over time for our sale and installation of power generation systems and are recognized at a point in time for our sale of products.

 

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires us to (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way we record our revenue. Upon adoption, we evaluated our revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.

 

Sale and installation of power generation systems

 

Sales of power generation system in conjunction of system installation are generally recognized based on our efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, which essentially the same as the percentage of completion method prior to August 1, 2018 for its installation project. Therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet completed. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that costs expended to date bear to anticipated final total costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. Adjustments to the original estimates of the total contract revenue, total contract costs, or the extent of progress toward completion are often required as work progresses. Such changes and refinements in estimation are reflected in reported results of operations as they occur; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate to the unit material cost, the quantity of materials to be used, the installation cost and those indirect costs related to contract performance. The estimate of unit material cost is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information available in the supply markets. The estimate of material quantity to be used for completion and the installation cost is also reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information on the progress of project execution. If the supply market conditions or the progress of project execution were different, it is likely that materially different amounts of contract costs would be used in the percentage of completion method of accounting. Thus the uncertainty associated with those estimates may impact our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Claims for additional contract costs are recognized upon a signed change order from the customer.

 

45

 

 

The installation revenues and sales of equipment and system component are combined and considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer the equipment and system component and installation are not separately identifiable, which is evidencing by the fact that we provide a significant services of integrating the goods and services into a power generation system for which the customer has contracted. We currently do not have any modification of contract and the contract currently does not have any variable consideration.

 

Sales of products

 

We continue to derive our revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon delivery of products. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied and based on when control of goods transfer to a customer, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to August 1, 2018.

 

Warranty

 

We generally provide limited warranties for work performed under our contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for up to five years following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project. At the time a sale is recognized, we record estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warrants are not service warranties separately sold by us. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or our best estimate.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 of our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to interest rate risk while we have short-term bank loans outstanding. Although interest rates for our short-term loans are typically fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. We manage credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the Chinese economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. We identify credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. In measuring the credit risk of our sales to our customers, we mainly reflect the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the customer and the exposures to the customer and its likely future development.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

We are also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to other financial institutions and related parties to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

 

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

While our reporting currency is the US dollar, almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in RMB. All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for some cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US dollar and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the US dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

 

Inflation

 

Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Inflation in China has recently increased substantially. Based on publicly available sources, the inflation rate in China was reported at 2.48% for 2018.

 

These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. Price inflation can affect our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling and distribution, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if we are unable to pass along raw material price increases to customers. Accordingly, inflation in China may weaken our competitiveness domestically or in international markets.

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to interest rate risk while we have short-term bank loans outstanding. Although interest rates for our short-term loans are typically fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.

Foreign Exchange Risk

 

While our reporting currency is U.S. dollars, almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in RMB. All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for some cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our revenues, earnings and assets in RMB as expressed in our financial statements in U.S. dollars will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

 

Inflation

 

Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Inflation in China has recently increased substantially. The inflation rate in China was reported at 2.48% for 2018, 1.56% percent for 2017 and 2.0% for 2016 (see http://www.statista.com/statistics/270338/inflation-rate-in-china/).

 

The Chinese government has adopted various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. Price inflation can affect our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling and distribution, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if we are unable to pass along raw material price increases to customers. Accordingly, inflation in China may weaken our competitiveness domestically or in international markets.  

  

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of October 31, 2018.

  

47

 

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2018 were not effective.

 

Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:

 

Ineffective control environment. The Company did not maintain an effective control environment, which is the foundation necessary for effective internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Company (i) had an insufficient number of personnel appropriately qualified to perform control design, execution and monitoring activities; (ii) had an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and ongoing training in the application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements; (iii) had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iv) did not formally document policies and controls to enable management and other personnel to understand and carry out their internal control responsibilities including the lack of closing checklists, budget-to-actual analyses, balance sheet variation analysis, pro forma financial statements, and the usage of key spreadsheets for monitoring.

Management is committed to remediating the material weaknesses in a timely fashion. We have begun the process of executing remediation plans to address the material weaknesses above in internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we established Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee in July 2017. We have engaged a third-party consultant to start the internal control implementation project since 2017. We have taken and are implementing the following measures to further address the material weakness include:

 

(i)We plan to establish a desired level of corporate governance with regard to identifying and measuring the risk of material misstatement. We are setting up a key monitoring mechanism including independent directors and audit committee to oversee and monitor Company’s risk management, business strategies and financial reporting procedure.

 

(ii)We appointed what we believe to be a suitable and qualified Chief Financial Officer in July 2018.

 

(iii)We plan to hire another third-party consultant to further help the Company establish and maintain an effective control environment, enhance our process and internal control related to sales, account receivables and inventory and establish comprehensive accounting policies and procedures.

 

(iv)We will hold regular seminars, briefings and training sessions on U.S. GAAP for accounting department employees.

 

Our management believes the measures described above and others that will be implemented will remediate the control deficiencies identified and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. Management is committed to continuous improvement of the Company’s internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures.

 

However, readers are cautioned that we do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
