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.Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, without limitation:

 

 our ability to generate revenue and profit;
   
 our ability to market our synthetic fuel and related products to more customers;
   
 our ability to identify and acquire access to additional facilities suitable for production of our synthetic fuel and related products;
   
 our ability to successfully operate our wine and herbal wine businesses;

 

 The effect that changes of government regulations affecting fossil fuel and renewable energy have on the solar power and synthetic fuel industry;
   
 future demand for solar energy solutions, wines and herbal wines;
   
 fluctuations in the market price of petroleum and natural gases;
   
 unexpected delays, operational difficulties, cost-overruns or failures in our production processes;
   
 our ability to effectively design, launch, market, and sell new generations of our products and services;
   
 our ability to manage or expand operations and to fill customers’ orders on time;
   
 the effect of prices of raw materials and components and our ability to source raw materials and components at reasonable prices;
   
 our ability to maintain adequate control of our expenses as we seek to grow;
   
 our ability to establish or protect our intellectual property;
   
 the impact of significant government regulation in China;
   
 our ability to implement marketing and sales strategies and adapt and modify them as needed; and
   
 our implementation of required financial, accounting and disclosure controls and procedures and related corporate governance policies.

 

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 (“Luck 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 (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 andthe Company 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 out through the Company’s variable interest entities (“VIEs”), formerly Sanhe Luck Sky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe Xiangtian”) and now 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 (See Note 3 – Business combinations).

 

In August 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Trade Co. Ltd. (“Xiangtian Trade”), which is expected to engage in trading chemical raw materials for the purpose of providing a stable supply for fuel products operation.

 

In September and October 2018, January 2019 and JanuaryMarch 2019, Mr. Jian Zhou, the Company’s chairmanChairman and principal stockholdershareholder as well as a shareholder of Xianning Xiangtian, and Zhou Deng Rong, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and director, injected an aggregate of Renminbi (“RMB”) 106,260,000209,260,000 (approximately $15.5$30.8 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.

 

In December 2018, Xianning Xiangtian acquired 90% of the equity interest in each of Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. (“Wine Co.”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of wine, and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd. (“Herbal Wine Co.,” collectively with “Wine Co.,” “Rongentang”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of herbal wine products (See Note 3 – Business combinations). The Company believes the acquisition of Rongentang represented a good investment in that Rongentang possesses land and buildings worth approximately $6.8 million and the Company believes it can recoup its investment within a short period of time by selling Rongentang’s wine and herbal wine inventories through its distribution network.

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 and acquisitions of businesses. As of January 31,April 30, 2019, the Company’s working deficienciescapital was approximately $11.7$2.6 million and the Company had cash of approximately $8.0$14.6 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 (including an a proposed underwritten public offering recentlypursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on the Form S-1 on February 1, 2019) 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.

 


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.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows, as applicable, have been made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. 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.

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  

Use of estimates and assumptions

In addition, these balances are not covered by insurance. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthinessworthiness.

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents cash held by banks as guarantee deposit collateralizing notes payable. 

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis.

Short-term Investment

Short-term investment consists of time deposit placed with a bank, which contains a fixed or variable interest rate and has original maturity within one year. Such investment is permitted to be redeemed early without penalties prior to maturity. Given the short-term nature, the carrying value of short-term investment approximates its fair value. The Company does not intend to withdraw early. There was no other-than-temporary impairment of short-term investment for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018.

 

Notes Receivable

 

Notes receivable represents commercial notes due from various customers where the customers’ banks have guaranteed the payments. The notes are noninterest bearing and normally paid within three to six months. The Company has the ability to submit requests for payments to the customer’s banks earlier than the scheduled payments date, but will incur an interest charge and a processing fee.

 

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. As of January 31,April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, there were no such allowances.

  

Advances to Suppliers, net

 

Advances to suppliers, net, are cash deposited or advanced to outside vendors or services providers for future inventory purchases or future services. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. For any advances to suppliers determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories or refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. 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. As of January 31,April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, there were no such allowances.

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses represent advance payments made to vendors for services such as rent, consulting and certification.

Other Receivables

Other receivables primarily include advances to employees and other deposits. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made. No allowance was required as of April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Loans Receivables

 

Loans receivables represents interest free advances to the former shareholder of Hubei Jinli by the Company prior to the acquisition of Hubei Jinli on June 30, 2018. These advances were unsecured and due on demand. Full outstanding balance in amount of $1,759,428 as of July 31, 2018 was repaid in August 2018.

 

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
Plant and buildings 5-20 years 0-5%
Machinery equipment 5-10 years 0-5%
Computer and office equipment 3-10 years 0-5%
Vehicles 5-10 years 0-5%
Plant improvement 20 years 0-5%

 


The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized.

 

Construction-in-progress represents contractor and labor costs, design fees and inspection fees in connection with the construction of the Company’s production warehouses, cafeteria, and employee dormitory. No depreciation is provided for construction-in-progress until it is completed and placed into service.

 

Intangible Assets, net

 

Intangible assets, net, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Classification Estimated Useful Life 
Land use rights 50 years 
Technology know-hows 10 years 
Patents, licenses and certifications 3-10 years 
Software 3 years 

  

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 and through the acquisition of Wine Co. in December 2018.

 


XT Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Formerly Known as Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co. Ltd.)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company also acquired a safety production license and an accounting software with a finite useful life of 3 years in June 2018 and January 2019, respectively.

 

In-Process Research and Development

The wine is currently in the development stage and the Company will be applying for its patent. Once the patent is applied and approved the Company is expected to amortize the wine patent with an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years.

 

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 January 31,April 30, 2019 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 January 31,April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

 

Subscription Receivable

 

Subscription receivable represents unpaid capital contribution from its shareholders.

 

Short-Term Note Payable

 

Short-term note payable is a line of credit extended by a bank. The bank in-turn issues the Company a banker’s acceptance note, which can be endorsed and assigned to vendors as payments for purchases. The note payable is generally payable at a determinable period, generally three to six months. This short-term note payable bears no interest and is guaranteed by the bank for its complete face value and usually matures within three to six-monthsix month period. The bank usually requires the Company to deposit a certain amount of cash at the bank as a guarantee deposit, which is classified on the balance sheet as restricted cash.

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.

 

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 January 31,April 30, 2019.

 


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 JanuaryApril 30, 2019 and July 31, 2019:2018:

The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advance to suppliers, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, prepaid expenses, other receivables, loan receivables, deposit for prepayments, note payable, 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. The carrying amount of long-term loan – related party reported in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value as the interest rate of the loan were similar to interest rate charged by the bank in the PRC. As of January 31,April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, long-term investment payable balance was $750,684,$370,936, net of discount of $784,027$45,543 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.

 

Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting

 

In the normal course of the Company’s trading business, the Company orders products directly from its suppliers and drop ships the products directly to its customers. In these situations, the Company generally collects the sales proceeds directly from its customers and pays for the inventory purchases to its suppliers separately. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on the Company’s assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction. In determining whether the Company is the principal or an agent, the Company follows the accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations. Because the Company is not the primary obligor and is not responsible for (i) fulfilling the resale products delivery, (ii) establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products , (iii) performing all billing and collection activities including retaining credit risk and (iv) baring the back-end risk of inventory loss with respect to any product return from its customer, the Company has concluded that it is the agent in these arrangements, and therefore reports revenues and cost of revenues on a net basis.

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 does 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.

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 and sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018. No right of return exists on sales of inventory. As of January 31,April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, accrued warranty expense amounted to $66,969$66,627 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 $9,039$20,157 and $3,031$2,081 for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising costs amounted to $41,011$61,168 and $3,031$5,112 for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 $92,377$61,996 and $17,385$27,822 for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total expenses for the plans were $135,099$197,095 and $43,712$71,534 for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 13% to 16% starting in May 2018 or at the rate ofApril 2019 and 17% in April 2018 and prior for all of its products except Herbal Wine which is at the rate of 3%. 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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

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 2018 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 incomeloss of $1,046,405$229,348 and $316,017$41,628 for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company had other comprehensive income of $665,419$436,071 and $405,892$364,347 for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from foreign currency translation adjustments.

 


Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the 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 U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 6.70046.7348 and 6.8204 as of January 31,April 30, 2019 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 6.87326.7233 and 6.54526.3172 for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Weighted average exchange rate is 6.87536.8265 and 6.58416.4934 for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.84677.8456 and 7.8490 as of January 31,April 30, 2019 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 7.83047.8473 and 7.81267.8374 for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Weighted average exchange rate is 7.8361, 7.81307.8397, 7.8212 for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 ofshares of common stock 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 and sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

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 sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company has contributed $372,824$469,902 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, to increase the recognition oftransparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use assetlease liability and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of theasset for virtually all 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.contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interimrequires a modified retrospective approach to adoption assuming the Company will remain an emerging growth company at that date. Early adoption is permitted. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, which to clarify effective dates that public business entities and other entities were required to adopt ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting. A public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filing with the SEC adopting ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will2019, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. ASU No. 2017-13 also amended that all components of a leveraged lease be recognized and measured at the beginningrecalculated from inception of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.lease based on the revised after tax cash flows arising from the change in the tax law, including revised tax rates. The difference between the amounts originally recorded and the recalculated amounts must be included in income of the year in which the tax law is enacted. The Company plans to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

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.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-13 will have on its 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.

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.

Note 15 – 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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of January 31,April 30, 2019, the Company had U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $4,254,000$4,717,000 that expire beginning in 2029 to 2038 with deferred tax assets of approximately $893,000.$991,000. As of January 31,April 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $794,000$1,406,000 of NOLs related to its PRC subsidiaries and VIEs that expire in years 2019 through 2023 with deferred tax assets of approximately $198,000.$348,000. 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 January 31,April 30, 2019.

 

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 and sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of January 31,April 30, 2019 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.

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 and sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 and sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, not canceling the 60,000,000 shares has an anti-dilutive effect.On January 29, 2019, the Company commenced an action against Global Select Advisors Ltd. (“Global Select”) in the First Judicial District Court of Nevada (the “Court”) to cancel 60 million shares of common stock of the Company that, without proper authorization, were issued to Roy Thomas Phillips, a former consultant and acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and subsequently transferred to Global Select.  On February 25, 2019, the Clerk of the Court entered a default against Global Select as a result of Global Select’s failure to respond to the Company’s complaint. The Company intends to filefiled a motion for default judgment pursuant to which the Company will seeksought an order authorizing the Company to cancel the 60 million shares. The Company’s motion for default judgement was granted and the shares were cancelled in April 2019.

 

Sanhe Xiangtian is involved in a litigation with Shandong Taidai Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Taidai”) for contractual dispute. Sanhe Xiangtian filed a complaint on January 24, 2018 with the Sanhe People’s Court and claimed for damages of RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $149,245) caused by Shandong Taidai as it provided the unqualified construction project. As ofOn May 22, 2019, a hearing was held by the date of this report,court and the litigation is still in the process of verifying the damages.final judgement will be issued at a later date. The Company does not believe the litigation will have significant impact on their unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Shandong Taidai filed a lawsuit against Sanhe Xiangtian with Dongying City Intermediate People’s Court of Shandong Province on November 29, 2018 regarding the same project and claimed unpaid work of RMB 4,089,150 (approximately $610,284) and liquidated damages of RMB 2,025,139 (approximately $302,242). As of December 19, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian has submitted an application objecting to the jurisdiction of Dongying City Intermediate People’s Court of but the application was rejected. On January 23, 2019, Sanhe Xiangtian appealed the ruling in the jurisdiction of Dongying City Intermediate People’s Court. Currently, the case is under review by the Dongying City Intermediate People’s Court.

The Company does not believe the litigation will have a material impact on its current operations and financial statements.

 

On March 19, 2019, Wenhe Han and Guifen Wang, former shareholders of Tianjin Jiabaili (collectively known as the “Plaintiffs”), filed a lawsuit against Xianning Xiangtian in People’s Court of Jizhou District, Tianjin City for a dispute over the equity transfer of Tianjin Jiabaili between Plaintiffs and Xianning Xiangtian. The Plaintiffs claimed a damage amounting to RMB 2,000,000 (approximately $0.3 million) for breach of contract and demanded immediate payment on the unpaid equity transfer balance of RMB 1,720,000 (approximately $0.3 million). A hearing was held on April 23, 2019 and the court approved the request of the Plaintiffs to freeze Xianning Xiangtian’s assets worth of RMB 3,720,000 (approximately $0.6 million) before a judgement is rendered. As of the date of this report, the freeze order has not been enforced and the Company has not received the list of assets subject to this order. Management currently cannot estimate the outcome of the litigation.

On April 15, 2019, Xianning Xiangtian filed a lawsuit against Wenhan Han and Guifen Wang, former shareholders of Tianjin Jiabaili, for the same dispute over the equity transfer of Tianjin Jiabaili in the People’s Court of Jizhou District, Tianjin City. Xianning Xiangtian claimed a damage amounting to RMB 2,000,000 (approximately $0.3 million) and demanded immediate refund of RMB 5,080,000 (approximately $0.8 million) plus a 6% annual interest starting from April 15, 2019 due to misrepresentation of the production facility of Tianjin Jiabaili from the former shareholders of Tianjin Jiabiali. A hearing is scheduled on June 11, 2019. Currently, the case is under review by the Dongying City Intermediate People’s Court. Management currently cannot estimate the outcome of the litigation.


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 19 – Segment reporting

 

Starting in April 2018, the Company beganbegan to evaluate performance and to determine resource allocations based on a number of factors, the primary measurement being income from operations of the Company’s nine reportable divisions in the PRC: Sanhe Xiangtian, Xianning Xiangtian, Xiangtian Zhongdian, Jingshan Sanhe, Hubei Jinli, Tianjin Jiabaili, Xiangtian Trade, Wine Co., and Herbal Wine Co. Tianjin Jiabaili did not have any operations as of January 31,April 30, 2019. Prior period numbers are broken down for purposes of comparison.

 

These reportable divisions are consistent with the way the Company manages its businessand 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement level.

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

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”) filed with SEC. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our financial statements and the financial information included in this report reflect our organizational transactions and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods.

 

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 (“Luck 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”), 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.

 

We are 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 out through the Company’s variable interest entities (“VIEs”), formerly Sanhe Luck Sky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe Xiangtian”) and currently 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 expected to engage in trading chemical raw materials for the purpose of providing a stable supply for fuel products operation.

 

In September and October 2018, January 2019 and JanuaryMarch 2019, Mr. Jian Zhou, the Company’s chairmanChairman and principal shareholder as well as a shareholder of Xianning Xiangtian, provided Chineseand Zhou Deng Rong, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and director, injected an aggregate of Renminbi (“RMB”) 106,260,000209,260,000 (approximately $15.5$30.8 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.

 

In December 2018, Xianning Xiangtian acquired Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. (“Wine Co.”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of wine, and acquired Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd. (“Herbal Wine Co.”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of herbal wine products. The purpose

However, in order to focus on the Company’s core businesses, our board of directors is considering the spinoff of the acquisition is to combining the sales distribution networks of the Company, Wine Co, and Herbal Wine Co. to boost all parties’ sales.

two wine companies.

 

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, we have become the primary beneficiary of Xianning Xiangtian, and it treats Xianning Xiangtian as its variable interest entity under U.S. GAAP. We 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 (including wine products) through third-party distributors 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, for our power generation products. The distributors also target wine retailers, supermarkets for our wine products and target gas stations and automobile repair shops for our synthetic fuel products. 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.

 

Seasonality

Our financial results for quarters ended January 31 and April 30 in each year might fluctuate, depending upon the date of the Chinese New Year in the period of which it will fall into as the Chinese New Year normally would fall in between January and February. Immediately before the Chinese New Year, our operating results and revenues tend to be higher as our customer might push us to deliver our products before the Chinese New Year holiday and our operating results and revenues tend to be lower during the month after the Chinese New Year.

In addition, our operating results and revenues in our heat pump product line tend to be higher during the fall and winter seasons and lower during the spring and summer seasons.

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.

In addition, we are subject to a variety of licenses and permits, laws and regulations related to the wine and herbal wine operations.

 

Food Business License, according to Food Management License Management Measures (2015), within the territory of the People’s Republic of China, anyone who engages in food sales and catering services shall obtain a food business license in accordance with the law.

If a manufacturer meets the GMP standards, the CFDA will issue to the manufacturer a GMP certificate with a five-year validity period.

 


Product Quality Law and related technical guidelines. Pursuant to the Product Quality Law of China promulgated by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee in 1993 and amended in 2000 and 2009 respectively, a seller must establish and practice a check-for-acceptance system for replenishment of such seller’s inventory, and examine the quality certificates and other marks and must also adopt measures to keep the products for sale in good quality. Pursuant to the Product Quality Law of China, where a defective product causes physical injury to a person or damage to such person’s property, the victim may claim for damages against the manufacturer or the seller of the product. If the seller pays the damages and it is the manufacturer that should bear the liability, the seller has a right of recourse against the manufacturer. Similarly, if the manufacturer pays damages and it is the seller that should bear the liability, the manufacturer has a right of recourse against the seller. Violations of the Product Quality Law of China could result in various penalties, including the imposition of fines, suspension of business operations, revocation of business licenses and criminal liabilities.

 

Tort Liability Law. Pursuant to the Tort Liability Law of China, which was promulgated by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee on December 30, 2009 and became effective on July 1, 2010, producers are liable for damages caused by defects in their products and sellers are liable for damages attributable to their fault.

The producers and sellers are obligated to take remedial measures such as issuing warnings or recalling the products in a timely manner if defects are found in products that are in circulation. If a party knowingly manufactured and sold defective products that cause death or severe personal injuries, the injured person has the right to claim punitive damages.

 

Drug Administration Law and Advertising law. Herbal wine is considered as a type of drug. Drug advertisements shall be approved by the drug regulatory department before it is published and a drug advertisement approval number would be issued. The drug advertisement shall not be released if the approval number is not obtained. Besides, advertising for non-pharmaceutical products may not be publicized with therapeutic effects.

Our gross profit increased by $3,533,652, or 3,075.7%, to $3,648,541 during the three months ended April 30, 2019 from $114,889 for the same period in 2018. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the significant increase in revenues contributed by Jingshan Sanhe, established in April 2018, Hubei Jinli, acquired in June 2018, and Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co., acquired in December 2018.

For the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, our overall gross profit percentage was 43.3% and 27.1%, 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, and wine and herbal wine which generally have a higher gross profit percentage.

Gross profit percentage for our installation of power generation systems revenue was 0% and 25.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage is consistent with the decrease in sales as we did not have any new projects for the three months ended April 30, 2019.

Gross profit percentage for PV panels and others revenue was 8.0% and 27.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease of gross profit percentage was due to the increase in sales volume as we expanded our business by lowering price to attract more sales volume, which results in lower gross profit percentage in the current period.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by $1,533,814 or 192.4% from $797,142 during the three months ended April 30, 2018 to $2,330,956 during the same period in 2019. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in selling expenses of $243,325, the increase in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses of $1,467,671 and changes in estimated contingent liabilities of $177,182.

The increase in selling expenses of $243,325 was mainly attributable to the increase in shipping costs of $238,079. The increase in shipping costs 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 G&A expenses of $1,467,671 was mainly attributable to the increase in salaries, social insurance expenses and benefits of $414,130, the increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $122,360, the increase in vehicle repair and maintenance expenses of $71,900, the increase in research and development of $70,638, the increase in rent of $197,301 and the increase in professional fee including legal fees, audit fees and consulting fees, of $58,683. 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, Tianjin Jiabaili acquired in June 2018, and Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co., acquired in December 2018.

Other (Expenses) Income, Net

Total other expenses increased by $583,314 or 39,359.9% from other income of $1,482 during the three months ended April 30, 2018 to other expenses of $581,832 during the same period in 2019. The increase in total other expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in interest expense and financial expense. We obtained third party loans in 2018 to pay for the initial payments in relation to the acquisition of Hubei Jinli and Tianjin Jiabaili in June 2018. As a result, we incurred approximately $41,000 interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 2019 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2018. Furthermore, the acquisition of Hubei Jinli also includes three installment payments each due on June 20 of 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, which resulted in amortization of debt discount of our investment payable of approximately $130,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2019 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2018. Furthermore, we made the payment for acquisition of Hubei Jinli prior to the original due date. As a result, we recognized a one-time finance expenses of approximately $0.4 million at the time for which the discount portion of the payment for the original due date were prepaid for the three months ended April 30, 2019 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2018.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax expense was $586,228 and $4,347 for the three months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our income tax expense was incurred by our profitable VIEs and controlled entities in both periods and we have provided 100% allowance on net operating losses for our VIEs and controlled entities which incurred losses.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net income increased by $834,643, or 121.8%, to net income of $149,525 for the three months ended April 30, 2019, from a net loss of $685,118 for the same period in 2018. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.

Our gross profit increased by $5,765,343, or 10,149.9%, to $5,822,145 during the three months ended January 31, 2019 from $56,802 for the same period in 2018. 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, Hubei Jinli, acquired in June 2018, and Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co., acquired in December 2018.

For the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, our overall gross profit percentage was 26.6% and 24.5%, respectively. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the increase in sales of ourair compression equipment and other components, high-grade synthetic fuel products, hydraulic parts and electronic components, and wine and herbal wine which generally have a higher gross profit percentage.

Gross profit percentage for our installation of power generation systems revenue was 0% and 5.9% for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in gross profit percentage is consistent with the decrease in sales as we did not have any new projects for the three months ended January 31, 2019.

Gross profit percentage for PV panels and others revenue was 10.2% and 30.4% for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease of gross profit percentage was due to the increase in sales volume as we expanded our business by lowering price to attract more sales volume, which results in lower gross profit percentage in the current period.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by $2,199,961 or 303.2% from $725,489 during the three months ended January 31, 2018 to $2,925,450 during the same period in 2019. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in selling expenses of $643,903, the increase in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses of $1,225,159 and the increase in provision of doubtful accounts of $175,155 and the increase in change in estimated contingent liabilities of $155,744.

The increase in selling expenses of $643,903 was mainly attributable to the increase in commissions of approximately $471,000 due to the increased number of sales representatives, the increase in salaries of approximately $73,000, the increase in shipping costs of approximately $53,000, the increase in travel expense of approximately $32,000 and increase in meal and entertainment expense of approximately $22,000. 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 G&A expenses of $1,225,159 was mainly attributable to the increase in salaries of approximately $184,000, the increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $116,000, the increase in rent of approximately $159,000 and the increase in professional fee including legal fees, audit fees and consulting fees, of approximately $503,000. 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, Tianjin Jiabaili acquired in June 2018, and Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co., acquired in December 2018.

The increase in provision of allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $175,000 was mainly attributable to the fact that we recovered doubtful accounts of approximately $114,000 in 2018 while we provided provision of allowance of doubtful accounts of approximately $61,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2019 as we incurred more aged receivables.

Other Income (Expenses), Net

Total other expenses increased by $117,586 or 16,584.8%. Other expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2019 was $116,877, while other income during the three months ended January 31, 2018 was $709. The increase in total other expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in interest expense as a result of the third party loans that we obtained in 2018 to pay for the initial 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. We also obtained a new related party loan in January 2019 for the payments in relation to the acquisition of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. As a result, we incurred approximately $101,000 interest expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2019 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2018. Furthermore, the acquisition of Hubei Jinli also includes three installment payments each due on June 20 of 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, which resulted in amortization of debt discount of our investment payable of approximately $125,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2019 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2018. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by the increase in other income of approximately $93,000 from approximately $400 for the three months ended January 31, 2018 to approximately $93,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2019.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax expense was $1,049,774 and $1,008 for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our income tax expense was incurred by our profitableVIEs and controlled entities in both periods and we have provided 100% allowance on net operating losses for our VIEs and controlled entities which incurred losses.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net income increased by $2,399,030, or 358.6%, to net income of $1,730,044 for the three months ended January 31, 2019, from a net loss of $668,986 for the same period in 2018. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.

Our current income tax expense was $1,575,918$2,162,146 and $3,843$8,190 for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our income tax expense was incurred by our profitable VIEs and controlled entities in both periods and we have provided 100% allowance on net operating losses for our VIEs and controlled entities which incurred losses.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Our net income increased by $4,832,778,$5,667,421, or 317%256.5%, to net income of $3,308,253$3,457,778 for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019, from a net loss of $1,524,525$2,209,643 for the same period in 2018. 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 our working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing in the form of loans including related party loans have been utilized to finance our working capital requirements. As of January 31,April 30, 2019, the Company’s working capital deficiency was approximately $11.7$2.6 million and the Company had cash and restricted cash of approximately $8.0$14.6 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 plan to supplement our available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

we will continuously seek equity financing (including a proposed underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 on February 1, 2019) to support ourits working capital requirements;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.

 

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.

 

We also expect to raise additional capital through public offerings with the proceeds to be used for 1) leasing additional production facilities for synthetic fuel and related products, 2) adding a new packaging line for our synthetic fuel and related products in Jingshan Sanhe, and 3) general corporate purpose.

 

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the sixnine months ended January 31,April 30, 2019 and 2018.

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.

 


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 July 31, 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.

 

Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting

 

In the normal course of the Company’s trading business, the Company orders products directly from its suppliers and drop ships the products directly to its customers. In these situations, the Company generally collects the sales proceeds directly from its customers and pays for the inventory purchases to its suppliers separately. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on the Company’s assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction. In determining whether the Company is the principal or an agent, the Company follows the accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations. Because the Company is not the primary obligor and is not responsible for (i) fulfilling the resale products delivery, (ii) establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, (iii) performing all billing and collection activities including retaining credit risk and (iv) baring the back-end risk of inventory loss with respect to any product return from its customer, the Company has concluded that it is the agent in these arrangements, and therefore report revenues and cost of revenues on a net basis.

 

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.

 


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.

 

Item 3. 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 our 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 avoid 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.


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 January 31,April 30, 2019.

 

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 January 31,April 30, 2019 were not effective.

  

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

  

Ineffective control environmentThe CompanyWe did not maintain an effective control environment, which is the foundation necessary for effective internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Companywe (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;experience; (iii) had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iv) did not formally document policiesestablish the authorization approval matrix; and controls to enable(iv) did not implement a budget system, which makes management and other personnel unable 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. Additionally, the Company did not have an adequate process in place to complete its testing and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner.

 

Ineffective controls over our financial statement close and reporting process. The CompanyWe did not maintain effective controls over itsour financial statement closingclose and reporting process. Specifically, the Company: (i) had insufficient preparation and review procedures for disclosures accompanying the Company’s financial statements; (ii) did not have controls to monitor and provide appropriate oversight of a third-party consulting firm used to prepare its financial statements, and (iii)we did not have effective controls over the completeness, existence and accuracy of related party disclosures.

  

Inadequate controls over recording of sales and accounts receivableproduction plan. The Company did not maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, and valuation of revenue and accounts receivable. Specifically, the Company had not implemented effective controls to ensure that (i) that all revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied prior to revenue being recognized, including that collectability is reasonably assured; (ii) sales invoices are prepared and issued in a timely manner; (iii) the aging of accounts receivables is monitored to verify the completeness and accuracy of computations for the valuation of accounts receivables reserves; (iv) the analysis of the completed contract verse the percentage of completion method of accounting for contract revenues is accurate and complete; (v) the Company didn’t have written confirmation of receipt from the customers regarding some product sales; and (vi) the Company didn’t establish formal procedures to update customer information in the finance system.

Inadequate controls over inventory valuation. The Company did not maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of our accounting estimates related to inventory. Specifically, documented processes do not exist for adjustments for excess, defective and obsolete inventory and lower of cost or net realized value considerations.

Inadequate controls over tax return filing. The Company did not file tax returns timely.

Inadequate controls over interest expense accrual. The CompanyOur manufacturing department did not maintain effective controls over the accuracy of interest expense. Specifically, documented processes do not exist to accrue interest expenseraw materials. The amount of raw materials mentioned in a timely manner.the production plan is inconsistent with the actual amount of raw materials delivered (Jingshan Sanhe).

 

Inadequate controls over business acquisitions and investments. The Company did not have a formal policy and procedures in place on business acquisitions and investments.

 Inadequate controls over information technology. We had inadequate controls over information technology. Specifically,  (i) Formal policy regarding user management andthe system backup hadn’t been established; (ii) Approvalpermissions on approval process of account opening on finance application wasn’t documented; (iii) Periodic account review on financeand ERP system were missing; (iv) Administrator account application accessnot one-to-one matched; and data base was shared by finance team; (v) Reviewing of the operation log of finance system was missing; (vi) Proper password policy for finance system was not in place; (vii) Appropriate security control on access to operating system was missing; and (viii) Backup status review and availability testing on backup data weren’t conducted on regular basis.(ii) a formal test environment wasn’t established.

 


Remediation Plans

 


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

Our management have taken and are implementing the following measures to further address the material weakness, subject to obtaining additionalweaknesses in internal control over financing reporting, 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, an audit compliance committee, a risk management committee and audita strategic planning committee to oversee and monitor Company’sour risk management, business strategies and financial reporting procedure.

 

(ii)a.

We appointed what we believeplan to be a suitableformulate delegation of authorities and qualified Chief Financial Officer in July 2018.job description to clarify authorities and responsibilities of each position.

 

b.

We are in the process of formalizing policies and controls, such as financial management regulations, budget management system, narrative and risk control management, to enable management and other personnel to understand their internal control responsibilities including budget-to-actual analyses, balance sheet variation analysis, pro forma financial statements, and the usage of key spreadsheets for monitoring.

(ii)

We are in the process of designing employees’ key performance indicators to monitor and assess employees’ performance.

(iii)In December 2018, weWe have engaged Ernest & Young (China) Advisory Limited to assist us with our compliance under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  2002. Since January 2019, they started to work with us to help us 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 have prepared a list of interest expenses and established a documented process to accrue interest.

(v)

We are in the process of updating the production policy, especially focusing on production plan and usages of raw materials.

(vi)We have set up a key strategies mechanism including an investment decision committee to oversee business acquisitions and investments. We have established a formal policy and procedures on business acquisitions and investments.

(vii)We have kept the price comparison records of purchasing battery slices.

(viii)We have engaged tax consultants to prepare and file our US tax returns since October 2018.

(ix)We have established formal policy regarding user management and system backup strategy in the information system safety management regulations to regulate approval process of account opening, periodic account review on financial system, access rule of administrator account, operation log review on financial system and password policy.

 

 (iv)(x)We are holding regular seminars, briefingsplan to establish a formal test environment and training sessions on U.S. GAAP for accounting department employees.test before system changes come online.

 

Our management believes that the measures described above and others that willto be implemented will remediate the control deficienciesmaterial weaknesses identified and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. Management is committed to continuous improvement of the Company’sour internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our generating more revenue to cover the costs of implementing the changes required.

 

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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

ThereExcept as discussed above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months period ended January 31,April 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

The risk factors set forth below contain material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed and included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018. When evaluating our business and our prospects, you should consider the risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, which we filed with the SEC on October 30, 2018, as updated in this Item 1A. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, including our financial statements and the related notes. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business and financial results could be harmed. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline.


Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have been relying on a limited number of customers to generate a significant portion of our revenue. The loss of our major customers could reduce our revenues and our profitability.

 

We have been relying on a limited number of major customers for a significant portion of our revenue and anticipate that such reliance will remain unchanged in the near future. For the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2019, two customersone customer accounted for 47.4% and 17.1%67.3% of the Company’s total revenues. There can be no assurance that we will maintain or improve the relationships with our major customers, or that we will be able to continue to supply our major customers at current levels or at all. Any failure to pay by these customers could have a material negative effect on our company’s business. In addition, having a relatively small number of customers may cause our semiannual results to be inconsistent, depending upon when these customers pay for outstanding invoices. If we cannot maintain long-term relationships with these major customers, the loss of our sales to them or the cancellation of any business from them could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The loss of one or more of our suppliers could cause production delays. Any interruption in our relationship with our suppliers could materially and adversely affect our growth and financial condition.

 

Although we believe that the principal components and raw materials for our products are readily available from alternate sources, an interruption in the supply of these components or a substantial increase in the price of any of these components could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

 


We currently rely on a few key suppliers to provide a significant percentage of components to our products. For the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2019, two vendors accounted for 35.4%39.3% and 11.9%14.5% of our total purchases. An interruption in our business relationship or termination of our relationships with our key suppliers could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial condition and we may not be able to find a substitute in a short period of time, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Wine Business

 

A reduction in the supply of fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine and base alcohol available to us from the independent herb growers and base alcohol suppliers could reduce our annual production of wine.

 

We rely on growers to purchase substantially all the fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine used in our herbal wine production. These ingredients include rehmannia glutinosa, Chinese yam, lycium chinense, velvet antler, cyathula officinalis, angelica sinensis, dwarf lilyturf, etc. We believe that the fundamental herbs we use in our herbal wines are readily available in China and that the supply of these herb and the edible base alcohol are stable. However, if the supply of fundamental herbs and base alcohol available to us from the independent herb growers and base alcohol suppliers reduce, it could negatively impact our wine business.

 

59

We face inventory risk, and if we fail to predict accurately demand for products and market and sell our products diligently, we may face write-downs or other charges.

 

We are exposed to inventory risks that may adversely affect operating results as a result of changes in sales channels, product pricing, consumer demand, and other factors. As of March 5, 2019, we had a bottled wine inventory of more than 37,000 bottles and an un-bottled inventory of approximately 330 tons. We endeavor to predict accurately, based on information from distributors and reasonable assumptions, the expected demand for their products in order to avoid overproduction. We plan to sell the products through our sales channels, including stores, gas stations and direct sales. Demand for products, however, can change significantly between the time of production and the date of sale. It may be more difficult to make accurate predictions regarding new products. In part, we depend on the marketing initiatives and efforts of distributors in promoting products and creating consumer demand and we have limited or no control regarding their promotional initiatives or the success of their efforts. If we fail to predict accurately demand for products and market and sell our products diligently, we may face write-downs or other charges on inventories.

 

We face significant competition which could adversely affect profitability.

 

The wine and herbal wine industries are intensely competitive and highly fragmented in China. Our wines compete in several wine market segments with many other domestic wines and herbal wines. Our wines also compete with other alcoholic and, to a lesser degree, non-alcoholic beverages, for shelf space in retail stores and for marketing focus by independent distributors, many of which carry extensive brand portfolios. As a result of this intense competition there has been and may continue to be upward pressure on selling and promotional expenses. In addition, the wine industry has experienced significant consolidation. Many competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources. Our sales may be harmed to the extent we are not able to compete successfully against such wine or alternative beverage producers’ costs. There can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to successfully compete with current competitors or that we will not face greater competition from other wineries and beverage manufacturers.


If we experience problems with our product quality, customer satisfaction with respect to pricing of our products or the timely delivery of our products, we could lose our customers and market acceptance which will affect our sales and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our growth and sales primarily depend on our maintenance of quality control, customer satisfaction with respect to pricing and the punctual availability and delivery of our products. If we fail to deliver the same quality of our products with the same punctuality and pricing which our customers have grown accustomed to, or in accordance with the terms of our sales agreements, we could damage our customer relations and market acceptance which will affect sales and our business in general. For example, we have to maintain food production license and GMP certificate for pharmaceutical products as an indication of the quality of our products. If we experience deterioration in the performance or quality of any of our products, whether due to problems internally or externally, it could result in delays in delivery, cancellations of orders or customer complaints, loss of goodwill, diversion of the attention of our senior personnel and harm to our brand and reputation. Any and all of these results would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to a series of food and drug supervision and management regulations of our wine business. If we are unable to comply with relevant regulations, we may face penalties or our licenses may be revoked.

 

To conduct our wine and herbal wine business, we have obtained Food Business License, Food Production License, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit and GMP Certificate. Besides, we are required to comply with a series of food and drug regulations and national standards, such as the technical standards and advertising regulations regarding the drug products. If we fail to comply with relevant regulations or national standards, we may face penalties or our licenses may be revoked.

The price of raw materials of our wine and herbal wine is controlled by government. If there is a significant increase in the market price of raw materials as a result of such governmental efforts, it might increase our cost and has a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The PRC government has the power to intervene in the price of important types of grain under certain circumstances, such as when a material change occurs to the market supply and demand and/or the grain price fluctuates significantly, in order to protect the interests of farmers. Although such pricing guidance has not had a material impact on our business in the past, we cannot guarantee you the market price of our raw materials would always be kept in the current level. If there is a significant increase in the market price of raw materials as a result of such governmental efforts would increase our cost of sales, and we may not be able to pass those increased costs on to our customers. Such increased costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


The liquor industry might be heavily influenced by national and local policies. Given the current unclear situation of local and national regulations and policies, we cannot predict the impact of future policy changes on the industry.

 

Local policies and national policies regarding the liquor industry are inconsistent to some degree. From the national level, wine business is in a restricted industry. According to the “Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue” promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2011 and revised in 2013, wine business is in the restricted industry category. However, Hubei Province, where our liquor business is located, issued a notice on “Strengthening the Hubei Liquor Industry Action Plan” in 2016, encouraging further expansion into the liquor industry and comprehensively improving the strength and competitiveness of the liquor industry. As the liquor industry might be heavily influenced by national and local regulations and policies, we cannot predict the impact of the inconsistency between national and local polities and any future change in policy on the industry. If the national or the local government further adjusts the current liquor industry policy, such as restrictions on liquor production and consumption through regulations on taxation, bank loan, land supply, advertising, price and other aspects, it might have an adverse impact on the company’s production and operation.

 


Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

 

Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.

 

We are required under PRC laws and regulations to participate in various government sponsored employee benefit plans, including certain social insurance, housing funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of our employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where we operate our businesses. The requirement of employee benefit plans has not been implemented consistently by the local governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations. We have not made adequate employee benefit payments. As of January 31,April 30, 2019 and July 31, 2018, the outstanding employee benefits payments due to the local labor bureau were $191,537$197,241 and $174,971, respectively. We may be required to make up the contributions for these plans as well as to pay late fees and fines. If we are subject to late fees or fines in relation to the underpaid employee benefits, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

As a result of the transfer, Xianning Xiangtian and its acquisition (the “Transaction”)shareholders, Zhou Jian and Fei Wang, executed a new set of 90%equity pledge agreement, exclusive option agreement and power of attorney on June 10, 2019 and all the terms remained substantially the same as the New VIE Agreements described in Note 2 - Variable interest entities to the financial statements. Copies of the equity interests in eachpledge agreement, exclusive option agreement and power of Wine Co.attorney are filed hereto as Exhibits10.1,10.2 and Herbal Wine Co.10.3, each a limited liability companyrespectively and are incorporated in the PRC, pursuant to an equity investment agreement dated December 14, 2018 (the “Agreement”),herein by and between Xianning Xiangtian and the Rongentang Shareholders, who are unrelated to the Company or Xianning Xiangtian. Wine Co. is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of compound wine products and Herbal Wine Co. is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of herbal wine products.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Xianning Xiangtian paid a total cash consideration of RMB67.5 million (approximately $9,786,488) (“Total Consideration”) to the Rongentang Shareholders, the full amount of which would be contributed into Wine Co. as registered capital. RMB60 million (approximately $8,699,100) of the Total Consideration was deposited into an escrow account held by Xianning Wenquan Branch of Agricultural Bank of China as escrow agent on December 14, 2018. As of December 21, 2018, the Rongentang Shareholders completed the equity interest transfer registration with relevant PRC government authorities and the fund in the escrow was released.

In addition, Rongentang Shareholders completed the title transfer procedures with the PRC government authorities for all the real property and land use rights possessed by Rongentang to Wine Co. (“Title Transfer”) from the ownerreference. The foregoing description of such real property and land use rights, Xianning Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. (“Xianning Rongentang”), an entity controlled by the Rongentang Shareholders,agreements are qualified in February 2019. Rongentang also obtained a three-year royalty-free license from Xianning Rongentang, the owner of the trademark “Rongentang,” to use such trademark, in January 2019. The remaining RMB7.5 million (approximately $1,087,388) of the Total Consideration to be contributed to Wine Co. as registered capital will be paid off by March 2019.


Rongentang Shareholders were responsible for taxes and undisclosed liabilities of Rongentang prior to the closing, including but not limited to, the guarantee liability of Wine Co. under certain loan agreement, pursuant to which a security interest in the real property possessed by Rongentang was granted to secure the repayment of a loan of a party related to Rongentang Shareholders of up to RMB10 million (approximately $1,449,850) to a PRC commercial bank. RMB10 million (approximately $1,449,850) of the funds received by the Rongentang Shareholders in connection with the Transaction was used to pay off this loan on January 18, 2019.

Upon closing of the Transaction, Rongentang became majority owned subsidiaries of Xianning Xiangtian and the Company is now engaged in the production and sales of compound wine and herbal wine products through Rongentang.

A detailed summary of the Agreement in connection with this Transaction is included in Item 1.01 of the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed December 20, 2018. Such summary does not purport to describe all the terms of the Agreement and is qualifiedtheir entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement.
