NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

We recognize wholesale revenue from product sales, net of value-added taxes, upon delivery for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sales, at such time title passes to the customer. We recognize wholesale revenue from manufacturing fees charged to buyers for the assembly of garments from materials provided by the buyers upon completion of the manufacturing process and shipment of the products for export sales. Retail sales are recorded net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances. Retail store sales are recognized at the time of the register receipt. Retail online sales are recognized when products are shipped and customers receive the products because we retain a portion of the risk of loss on these sales during transit.

Our revenue recognition policy is in compliance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. We apply the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:

(i)

identification of the promised goods and services in the contract;

(ii)

determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;

(iii)

measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;

(iv)

allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and

(v)

recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, we review the contract to determine which performance obligations we must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. We recognize as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, our performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sale.

For all reporting periods, we have not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for all product revenue contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, which is an optional exemption that is permitted under the adopted rules.

Derivatives financial instruments

From time to time, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risks arising from operational activities or on certain existing assets and liabilities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The Company may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign exchange options, or foreign exchange currency swap contracts to manage exposure to certain foreign currency operating transactions. These instruments may offset a portion of the foreign currency re-measurement gains or losses, or changes in fair value.

The Company may also enter into above similar derivative instruments to hedge the exposure to variability in the expected cash flows of forecasted transactions such as international sales or purchases that the Company expects to receive or commit to remit foreign currencies. In these cases, the Company designates these instruments as the cash flow hedges.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value and transaction costs are expensed immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognized immediately in earnings when such instruments are designated as fair value hedges or ineffective portion of cash flow hedges. The accumulated gain or loss from effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history of its customers and current relationships with them. The Company writes off accounts receivable when amounts are deemed uncollectible. ~~There was no bad debt expense for the three months period ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.~~

Fair Value Accounting

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

	Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

	Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on broker quotes, if available. If broker quotes are not available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price at the reporting date for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate based on government bonds.

~~At March 31,~~As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s financial assets (all Level 1) consist of cash placed with financial institutions that management considers to be of a high quality.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has one derivative liability subjects to recurring fair value measurement (Level 2) with the change in fair value recognized in earnings (Note 5).

Management has estimated that the carrying amounts of non-related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of amounts due from (to) related parties is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

During 2018, the Company had entered into four foreign currency swap contracts with three banks. These contracts were expired and there is no derivative asset or liability as of March 31, 2019. The fair value of foreign currency swap contracts is determined by the variation of measurement date foreign exchange market rates and contract closing date predetermined foreign exchange rates.

The Company has adopted ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, which allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent fair value measurement for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity chooses to measure will be recognized in earnings.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Ever-Glory, Perfect Dream, Ever-Glory HK and Ever-Glory Supply Chain is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Goldenway, New Tailun, Catch-luck, Ever-Glory Apparel, Shanghai LA GO GO, Jiangsu LA GO GO, Tianjin LA GO GO, Shanghai Yiduo, Ya Lan, He Meida, Huirui, Taixin and Haian Taixin is the Chinese RMB.

For subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date; equity was translated at historical rates and items in the statement of comprehensive income were translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Items in the cash flow statement are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.

Income Taxes

ASC 740 states “Deferred tax assets are recognized in full and then reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized.” A deferred tax asset is a tax reduction whose recognition is delayed due to deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards. This can result in a change in taxes payable or refundable in future periods. A business should create a valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset if there is a more than 50% probability that the company will not realize some portion of the asset. Any changes to this allowance are to be recorded within income from continuing operations on the income statement. The need for a valuation allowance is especially likely if a business has a history of letting various loss carryforwards expire unused, or it expects to incur losses in the next few years.

Lease

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company elected the practical expedient, for all asset classes, to account for each lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, rather than allocating a standalone value to each component of a lease. For purposes of calculating operating lease obligations under the standard, the Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such option. The Company’s leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The discount rate used to measure a lease obligation is usually the rate implicit in the lease; however, the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is an entity-specific rate which represents the rate of interest a lessee would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments.

Significant assumptions and judgments made as part of the adoption of this new lease standard include determining (i) whether a contract contains a lease, (ii) whether a contract involves an identified asset, and (iii) which party to the contract directs the use of the asset. The discount rates used to calculate the present value of lease payments were determined based on hypothetical borrowing rates available to the Company over terms similar to the lease terms.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases, a new standard on accounting for leases. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted this standard. The ASU introduces a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lease to record an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months, as well as disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $64.5 million and operating lease liabilities of $64.5 million. As of March 31, 2019, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17 “Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” which could be improved in the following areas: 1. Applying the variable interest entity (VIE) guidance to private companies under common control. 2. Considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04“Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign currency swap contracts

During 2018, the Company had entered into four foreign currency swap contracts with three banks. Due to the increased demand of effective control on financial management for daily operations, Ever-Glory Apparel had entered into different foreign currency swap contracts to exchange $6.0 million for equivalent RMB with Bank of China in May, entered into a foreign currency swap contract to exchange $3.0 million for equivalent RMB with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in June and entered into a foreign currency swap contract to exchange $6.0 million and $4.0 million for equivalent RMB with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank in July. The terms of the three foreign currency contracts are both six months and the contract of $4.0 million with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is three months. Ever-Glory Apparel and the banks swapped two currencies by same pre-determined exchange rate at the beginning and end of the contracts. During the period, the Company pays annual interest of 1.43% for the RMB received and receives 0 interest for the USD exchanged with the Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The company pays annual interest of 0.98% for the RMB received and receives 0.0001% interest for the USD exchanged with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. If the Company failed to execute the exchange at the expiration of contracts, the banks would sell the USD at the market rate then the difference in RMB will be converted into bank loan for the Company. As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of principal amounts are included in other receivable ($4.0 million plus unrealized gain) and other payables (equivalent RMB payables) in the consolidated balance sheets, and unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 is recognized in the income from operations.

In September 2019, Ever-Glory Apparel entered into a 15-day foreign currency swap contract with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The Company agreed to exchanged $4.9 million for EUR on September 26 and then to re-exchange these currencies on the swap maturity date of October 8, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the unrealized foreign currency exchange gain of the asset was $2.6 thousands. The final realized gain is $4.1 thousands in October 2019.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

To avoid foreign currency fluctuation on forecasted international sales and secure the profits on such revenues, the Company entered several forward foreign exchange contracts with banks from time to time. According to ASC 815-20-25, the Company designated above contracts as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any outstanding derivative contracts.

The ~~adoption of the new lease guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or liquidity, but resulted in the recognition of~~Company recognized operating lease liabilities and operating lease right-of-use assets on its balance sheets. ~~Right-of-use (“ROU”)~~ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The company has leases with fixed payments for land-use-rights, warehouses and logistics centers, flagship stores, and leases with variable payments for stores within shopping malls (“shopping mall stores”) in the PRC, which are classified as operating leases. ~~The leases include fixed and variable payments according to the sales generated from flagship stores and those stores with shopping malls.~~ Options to extend or renew are recognized as part of the lease liabilities and recognized as right of use assets. There are no residual value guarantees and no restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases.

The followings are lists of leases: (i) the terms of Shanghai LAGOGO land use right and buildings are 34 years; (ii) the terms of Kunshan logistics center and Chuzhou logistics center are 5 years; (iii) the terms of flagship stores are 3 years. The lease term for shopping mall stores is commonly one year with options to extend or renew, and the rent is predetermined with a percentage of sales. The Company estimates the next 12 months rent for the shopping mall stores by annualizing current period rent calculated with the percentage of sales. Thus, the ROU assets and lease liabilities may vary significantly at different period ends.

In the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the costs of the leases recognized in cost of revenues and general administrative expenses are ~~$12.9~~$5.9 and ~~$0.2~~$0.6 million, respectively. Cash paid for the operating leases including in the operating cash flows was ~~$13.1~~$6.5 million. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, ~~The~~the Company has ~~$64.5~~$35.2 million of right-of-use assets, ~~$55.4~~$26.8 million in current operating lease liabilities and ~~$9.1~~$8.4 million in non-current operating lease liabilities as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

NOTE 67 INCOME TAX

The Company’s operating subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws ~~(“the Income~~(the “Income Tax Laws”).

All PRC subsidiaries, except for He Meida, are subject to income tax at the 25% statutory rate.

He Meida incorporated in Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region is subject to income tax at 15% statutory rate. The local government has implemented an income tax reduction from 15% to 9% valid through December 31, 2019.

Perfect Dream was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), and under the current laws of the BVI, dividends and capital gains arising from the Company’s investments in the BVI are not subject to income taxes.

Ever-Glory HK was incorporated in Samoa, and under the current laws of Samoa, has no liabilities for income taxes.

Ever-Glory Supply Chain Service Co., Limited was incorporated in ~~Hongkong,~~Hong Kong, and under the current laws of ~~Hongkong,~~Hong Kong, are subject to income tax at the 16.5% statutory rate.

The PRC’s Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise in PRC to its immediate holding company outside China; such distributions were exempted under the previous income tax law and regulations. A lower withholding tax rate will be applied if there is a tax treaty arrangement between mainland China and the jurisdiction of the foreign holding company. The foreign invested enterprise became subject to the withholding tax starting from January 1, 2008. Given that the undistributed profits of the Company’s subsidiaries in China are intended to be retained in China for business development and expansion purposes, no withholding tax accrual has been made.

After the tax ~~liability~~assets and liabilities adjustment resulted from the reevaluation of the Company’s tax position (resulting in the company allocating substantially all of the earnings of the Samoan subsidiary to the PRC and reporting such earnings as taxable in the PRC), pre-tax income (loss) for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018 was taxable in the following jurisdictions:

							Three months ended					Nine months ended
							September 30,					September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018		2019			2018

	$	382		$	1,344		$	(717	)	$	4,084	$	2,881		$	9,431

The following table reconciles the PRC statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018:

							Three months ended						Nine months ended
							September 30,						September 30,

Income tax expense	$	825	$	757		$	387	$	908		$	2,667	$	2,949

The Company’s deferred tax liabilities arise from differences between US GAAP and PRC tax accounting for certain revenue and expense items, including timing of deduction of losses from allowances.

The Company has not recorded U.S. deferred income taxes on approximately ~~$105.0~~$104.3 million of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings because such amounts are intended to be reinvested outside the United States indefinitely. The U.S. Tax Reform signed into law on December 22, 2017 significantly modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; limiting and/or eliminating many business deductions; migrating the U.S. to a territorial tax system with a one-time transition tax on a mandatory deemed repatriation of previously deferred foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; subject to certain limitations, generally eliminating U.S. corporate income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; and providing for new taxes on certain foreign earnings. The Company measured the current and deferred taxes based on the provisions of the Tax legislation. After the Company’s measurement, no deferred tax expense (income) relating to the Tax Act ~~changes~~changed for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

Amounts Due From Related Party under Counter Guarantee Agreement

In March 2012, in consideration of the guarantees and collateral provided by Jiangsu Ever-Glory and Nanjing Knitting, the Company agreed to provide Jiangsu Ever-Glory a counter guarantee in the form of cash of not less than 70% of the maximum aggregate lines of credit obtained by the Company. Jiangsu Ever-Glory is obligated to return the full amount of the counter-guarantee funds provided upon expiration or termination of the underlying lines of credit and is to pay annual interest at the rate of 6.0% of amounts provided. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Jiangsu Ever-Glory has provided guarantees for approximately ~~$41.4~~$32.5 million (RMB ~~278~~230 million) and $33.4 million (RMB ~~230.0~~230 million) of lines of credit obtained by the Company, respectively. Jiangsu Ever-Glory and Nanjing Knitting have also provided their assets as collateral for certain of these lines of credit. The value of the collateral, as per appraisals obtained by the banks in connection with these lines of credit is approximately ~~$30.6~~$29.1 million (RMB 205.5 million) and $29.9 million (RMB 205.5 million) as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Mr. Kang has also provided a personal guarantee for ~~$24.6~~$16.4 million (RMB ~~164.8~~117.7 million) and $14.5 million (RMB 100.0 million) as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the amount of the counter-guarantee was ~~$8.7~~$5.8 million (RMB ~~58.7~~41.3 million) (the difference represents currency exchange adjustment of ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million), which was ~~21.1%~~17.9% of the aggregate amount of lines of credit. The increase of the percentage in this quarter was mainly due to China’s credit tightening policy. Obtaining bank loan requires a higher guarantee deposit in this quarter. This amount plus accrued interest of ~~$0.5~~$0.6 million have been classified as a reduction of equity, consistent with the guidance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins 4E and 4G. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the amount classified as a reduction of equity was ~~$9.3~~$6.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

Since~~ January 1, 2019, interest rate has changed to 0.3625% as the bank benchmark interest rate decreased. Interest income for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately ~~$0.1~~$0.05 million, $0.2 million, $0.3 million and ~~$0.2~~$1.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 1011 CONCENTRATIONS AND RISKS

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral. As a result, management performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis. Based on management’s assessment of the amount of probable credit losses, if any, in existing accounts receivable, the allowance for doubtful accounts at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $4.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of accounts receivable. In the analysis, management primarily considers the age of the ~~customer’s~~customer��s receivable and also considers the credit worthiness of the customer, the economic conditions of the customer’s industry, and general economic conditions and trends, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of the Company’s future allowance for doubtful accounts. If judgments regarding the collectability of accounts receivables are incorrect, adjustments to the allowance may be required, which would reduce profitability.

NOTE 13 COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

~~(b) Retail segment~~

On March 2019, Shanghai La Go Go Fashion Company Limited (“LA GO GO”) filed a complaint against Shanghai Chijing Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Chijing”) for unpaid rent of RMB2.45 million ($0.36 million) in the Shanghai People’s Court (the “Court”). On July 2019, Shanghai Chijing filed a counterclaim against LA GO GO for RMB15.38 million ($2.17 million), alleging that LA GO GO had not fulfilled its corresponding obligations as a landlord. As a result, the Court has frozen the bank accounts of both Shanghai Chijing and LA GO GO. As of September 30, 2019, a total balance of RMB9.79 million ($1.4 million) was frozen in the bank accounts of LA GO GO. LA GO GO believes that Shanghai Chijing’s counterclaim is frivolous and without merit, and intends to rigorously defend against the counterclaim. As of September 30, 2019, the company had booked this restricted cash in other receivables.

Overview

Our Business

We are a retailer of branded fashion apparel and leading global apparel supply chain solution provider based in China. We are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol of “EVK”.

We classify our businesses into two segments: Wholesale and Retail. Our wholesale business consists of wholesale-channel sales made principally to domestically and international recognized brands, and department stores located throughout Europe, the U.S., Japan and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). We focus on well-known, middle-to-high end casual wear, sportswear, and outerwear brands. Our retail business consists of retail-channel sales directly to consumers through retail stores located throughout the PRC as well as sales via online stores at Tmall, Dangdang mall, JD.com, VIP.com and etc.

Although we have our own manufacturing facilities, we currently outsource most of the manufacturing to our long-term contractors as part of our overall business strategy. We believe outsourcing allows us to maximize our production capacity and maintain flexibility while reducing capital expenditures and the costs of keeping skilled workers on production lines during slow seasons. We oversee our long-term contractors with our advanced management solutions and inspect products manufactured by them to ensure that they meet our high-quality control standards and timely delivery requirement.

Wholesale Business

We conduct our original design manufacturing (“ODM”) operations through seven wholly owned subsidiaries which are located in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone and Shang Fang Town in the Jiangning District in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, China, Chuzhou, Anhui province, China and Samoa: Ever-Glory International Group Apparel Inc. (“Ever-Glory Apparel”), Goldenway Nanjing Garments Company Limited (“Goldenway”), Nanjing New-Tailun Garments Company Limited (“New Tailun”), Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Co., Ltd. (“Catch-Luck”), Chuzhou Huirui Garments Co., Ltd. (“Huirui), Nanjing Tai Xin Garments Trading Company Limited (“Tai Xin”), Haian Tai Xin Garments Trading Company Limited (“Haian Tai Xin”), Ever-Glory Supply Chain Service Co., Limited (“Ever-Glory Supply Chain”) and Ever-Glory International Group (HK) Ltd. (“Ever-Glory HK”).

Retail Business

We conduct our retail operations through Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited (“LA GO GO”), Jiangsu LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited (“Jiangsu LA GO GO”), Tianjin LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited (“Tianjin LA GO GO”), Shanghai Ya Lan Fashion Company Limited (“Ya Lan”), Shanghai Yiduo Fashion Company Limited (“Shanghai Yiduo”) and Xizang He Meida Trading Company Limited (“He Meida”).

Business Objectives

Wholesale Business

We believe the enduring strength of our wholesale business is mainly due to our consistent emphasis on innovative and distinctive product designs that stand for exceptional styling and quality. We maintain long-term, satisfactory relationships with a portfolio of well-known and mid-class global brands.

The primary business objective for our wholesale segment is to expand our portfolio into higher-class brands, expand our customer base and improve our profit. We believe that our growth opportunities and continued investment initiatives include:

	●	Expanding our global sourcing network;

	●	Expanding our overseas low-cost manufacturing base (outside of mainland China);

	●	Focusing on high value-added products and continuing our strategy to produce mid-to-high end apparel;

	●	Continuing to emphasize product design and technology utilization;

	●	Seeking strategic acquisitions of international distributors that could enhance global sales and our distribution network; and

	●	Maintaining stable revenue increase in the markets while shifting focus to higher margin wholesale markets such as mainland China.

Retail Business

The business objectives for our retail segment are to establish leading brands of women’s apparel and to build a nationwide retail network in China. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, we had ~~1,315~~1,157 stores (including store-in-stores), including 1277 stores were opened and 78301 stores were closed ~~in first quarter of 2019. We expect to open additional 150 to 200 stores in~~during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

We believe that our growth opportunities and continued investment initiatives include:

	●	Building our retail brand to be recognized as a major player in the mid-to-high end women’s apparel market in China;

	●	Expanding our retail network throughout China;

	●	Improving our retail stores’ efficiency and increasing same-store sales;

	●	Continuing to launch retail flagship stores in Tier-1 cities and increasing our penetration and coverage in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities; and

	●	Becoming a multi-brand operator.

Seasonality of Business

Our business is affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of wholesale sales in our third and fourth quarters and higher retail sales in our first and fourth quarters. These trends primarily result from the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and holiday periods in the retail segment.

Collection Policy

Wholesale business

For our new customers, we generally require orders placed to be backed by letters of credit. For our long-term and established customers with good payment track records, we generally provide payment terms between 30 to 180 days following the delivery of finished goods.

Retail business

For store-in-store shops, we generally receive payments from the stores between 60 to 90 days following the date of the register receipt. For our own flagship stores, we receive payments on the same day of the register receipt. For sales from e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, Dangdang mall, JD.com, VIP.com and etc., we generally receive payments between 5 to 15 days following the date of the register receipt.

Global Economic Uncertainty

Our business is dependent on consumer demand for our products. We believe that the significant uncertainty in the global economy and the slowdown of economies in the United States and Europe have increased our clients’ sensitivity to the cost of our products. We have experienced continued pricing pressure. If the global economic environment continues to be weak, these worsening economic conditions could have a negative impact on our sales growth and operating margins in our wholesale segment in 2019.

In addition, economic conditions in the United States and other foreign markets in which we operate could substantially affect our sales profitability, cash position and collection of accounts receivable. Global credit and capital markets have experienced unprecedented volatility and disruption. Business credit and liquidity have tightened in much of the world. Some of our suppliers and customers may face credit issues and could experience cash flow problems and other financial hardships. These factors currently have not had an impact on the timeliness of receivable collections from our customers. We cannot predict at this time how this situation will develop and whether accounts receivable may need to be allowed for or written off in the coming quarters.

Despite the various risks and uncertainties associated with the current global economy, we believe our core strengths will continue to allow us to execute our strategy for long-term sustainable growth in revenue, net income and operating cash flow.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operation involved could result in material changes to our financial position or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

(i)

identification of the promised goods and services in the contract;

(ii)

determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;

(iii)

measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;

(iv)

allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and

(v)

recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts. Significant estimates include the assumptions used to value tax liabilities, derivative financial instruments, the estimates of the allowance for deferred tax assets, and the accounts receivable allowance, and impairment of long-lived assets and inventory reservation.

Lease

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases, a new standard on accounting for leases. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted this standard. The ASU introduces a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a leases to record an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months, as well as disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $64.5 million and operating lease liabilities of $64.5 million. As of March 31, 2019, The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or cash flows.

~~Primarily sales from stores that were closed in the current reporting period.~~

We remodeled or relocated 250 stores in year 2018, and 7 stores during the three months ended March 31, 2019. We plan to relocate or remodel 150-200 stores in 2019. Remodels and relocations typically drive incremental same-store sales growth. A relocation typically results in an improved, more visible and accessible location, and usually includes increased square footage. We believe we will continue to have opportunities for additional remodels and relocations beyond 2018. Same-store sales are calculated based upon stores that were open at least 12 full fiscal months in each reporting period and remain open at the end of each reporting period.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Cost of goods sold includes the direct raw material cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead including depreciation of production equipment and rent, consistent with the revenue earned. Cost of goods sold excludes warehousing costs, which historically have not been significant.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $278.6 million, a decrease of 9.2% from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 1.8% decrease in sales in our wholesale business and a 16.3% decrease in our retail business.

Sales generated from our wholesale business contributed 52.8% or $147.1 million of our total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 1.8% compared with 48.8% or $149.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales in Hong Kong China, Germany and Europe-Other partially offset by increased sales in Mainland China, United Kingdom, Japan and the United States.

Sales generated from our retail business contributed 47.2% or $131.5 million of our total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 16.3% compared with 51.2% or $157.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

We remodeled or relocated 250 stores in 2018, and 89 stores during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Remodels and relocations typically drive incremental same-store sales growth. A relocation typically results in an improved, more visible and accessible location, and usually includes increased square footage. We believe we will continue to have opportunities for additional remodels and relocations beyond 2018. Same-store sales are calculated based upon stores that were open at least 12 full fiscal months in each reporting period and remain open at the end of each reporting period.

Due to the increased demand of effective control on financial management for daily operations, Ever-Glory Apparel had entered into different foreign currency swap contracts to exchange $6.0 million for equivalent RMB with Bank of China in May, entered into a foreign currency swap contract to exchange $3.0 million for equivalent RMB with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in June and entered into a foreign currency swap contract to exchange $6.0 million and $4.0 million for equivalent RMB with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank in July. The terms of three foreign currency contracts are both six months and the contract of $4.0 million with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is three months. Ever-Glory Apparel and the banks swapped two currencies by same pre-determined exchange rate at the beginning and end of the contracts. During the period, the Company pays annual interest of 1.43% for the RMB received and receives 0 interest for the USD exchanged with the Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The company pays annual interest of 0.98% for the RMB received and receives 0.0001% interest for the USD exchanged with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. If the Company failed to execute the exchange at the expiration of contracts, the banks would sell the USD at the market rate then the difference in RMB will be converted into bank loan for the Company. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2018, the fair value of principal amounts are included in other receivable ($4.0 million plus unrealized gain) and other payables (equivalent RMB payables) in the consolidated balance sheets, and unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 is recognized in the income from operations.

In September 2019, ~~there~~Ever-Glory Apparel entered into a 15-day foreign currency swap contract with Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The Company agreed to exchanged $4.9 million for EUR on September 26 and then to re-exchange these currencies on the swap maturity date of October 8, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the unrealized foreign currency exchange gain of the asset was not significant. The final realized gain is no$4,102.88 in October 2019.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had one outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts (sell USD dollars for RMB), with total notional amount of $8.0 million. The unrealized income of this contract at September 30, 2019 was not significant.

Capital Commitments

We have a continuing program for the purpose of improving our manufacturing facilities and extending our retail stores. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and borrowings from banks will be used to pay for these capital commitments.

Uses of Liquidity

Our cash requirements for the next year will be primarily to fund daily operations and the growth of our business, some of this being used to fund new stores.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity for our short-term cash needs are expected to be from cash flows generated from operations, and cash equivalents currently on hand. We believe that we will be able to borrow additional funds if necessary.

We believe our cash flows from operations together with our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and other commitments for the next year. No assurance can be made that additional financing will be available to us if required, and adequate funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we will develop or enhance our products or services and expand our business through our own cash flows from operations.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, we had access to approximately ~~$61.9~~$51.9 million in lines of credit, of which approximately ~~$33.0~~$16.4 million was unused and available. These credit facilities do not include any covenants. We have agreed to provide Jiangsu Ever-Glory a counter-guarantee of not less than 70% of the maximum aggregate lines of credit and borrowings guaranteed by Jiangsu Ever-Glory and collateralized by the assets of Jiangsu Ever-Glory and its equity investee, Nanjing Knitting, under agreements executed between the Company, Jiangsu Ever-Glory, Nanjing Knitting, and the banks. The maximum aggregate lines of credit and available borrowings was approximately ~~$41.4~~$32.5 million (RMB ~~278.0~~230.0 million) and approximately ~~$8.7~~$7.3 million (RMB ~~58.7~~50.0 million) was provided to Jiangsu Ever-Glory as the counter guarantee as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk

Our operations are, for the most part, located in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility in foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar and the Chinese RMB. Most of our sales are in dollars. During 2003 and 2004, the exchange rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at RMB 8.26 to the dollar. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from RMB 8.26 to 8.09 to the dollar. From that time, the RMB continued to appreciate against the U.S. dollar. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019, the market foreign exchange rate had increased to RMB ~~6.71~~6.87 to one U.S. dollar. We are continuously negotiating price adjustments with most of our customers based on the daily market foreign exchange rates, which we believe will reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the future and will pass some of the increased cost to our customers.

In addition, the financial statements of Goldenway, New-Tailun, Catch-Luck, Haian Taixin, Ever-Glory Apparel, Taixin, He Meida, Huirui, Shanghai LA GO GO, Yalan, Shanghai Yiduo, Tianjin LA GO GO and Jiangsu LA GO GO (whose functional currency is RMB) are translated into US dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. All translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of equity. The foreign currency translation gain (loss) for the 3three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2019 and 2018 was ~~$4.0~~($3.7) million, ($2.2) million, ($3.6) million and ~~$4.0~~($5.7) million, respectively.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.

~~ITEM 2A. RISK FACTORS~~

~~Changes to United States tax, tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.~~

The current political climate has introduced greater uncertainty with respect to trade policies, tariffs and government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries, especially to trade between U.S. and China. Our products are sold to many countries including the U.S. Major developments in tax policy or trade relations, such as the disallowance of tax deductions for imported products or the imposition of unilateral tariffs on imported products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and liquidity.
