PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Our Business
We utilize a proprietary compressed air energy storage power generation technology that can store energy for other alternative energy sources (for example, using solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal as raw power to regenerate electricity power without the use of fossil fuels or other chemical methods.) The power produced by compressed air energy storage and power release can enhance the power production capabilities of alternative energy sources. If alternative energy sources cannot be fully utilized, there will be waste sources. We believe that we utilize compressed air energy storage installations in conjunction with the power generation system of alternative energy sources that could ensure the stable power supply of alternative energy generation system and provide customers with an advanced power generation capability with no carbon or toxic emissions. Thus, our Company’s compressed air energy storage power generation technology provides a distinct and novel method for alternative energy sources.
The power generated from our system can either be used for the operation of our customers or be sold to the State Grid Corporation of China (“State Grid”). We also utilize proprietary technology to enhance the power production capabilities of the photovoltaic solar panels (“PV panels”) that have been used in conjunction with our current projects, including projects that involve only the installation of PV panels without the installation of equipment for compressed air energy technology.
We have been involved incompleted construction of four13 projects, to date, two of which utilize our compressed air energy technology in conjunction with PV panels power system (equipment) and twoeleven of which involve only PV panels power system equipment.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and all other information set forth in this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the events or developments described below occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer. In that case, the value of our common stock may decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Our business operations are conducted entirely in the PRC. Because China’s economy and its laws, regulations and policies are different from those typically found in the west and are continually changing, we face certain risks, including but not limited to those summarized below.
Risks Related to our Business
There is Concern about our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern due To Recurring Losses from Operations, All of Which Means That We may not be Able to Continue Operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a loss of $608,184 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016 and has incurred losses since its inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $812,935 at July 31, 2016. For the threenine months period ended October 31, 2016,April 30, 2017, the Company incurred a loss of $851,230$1,446,555 and has incurred losses since its inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,464,309$1,893,532 at October 31, 2016.April 30, 2017. While the Company is continuing to generate revenue from new projects, further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company expects to finance operations primarily through cash flow from revenue and capital contributions from principal shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans described above or in attracting equity or alternative financing on acceptable terms, or if at all.
7
We Have only Generated Limited Revenue from the Sale of our Products.
We have 17 projects that are completed, under construction or under contract to commence construction, including 13 completed projects that generated revenues. We recognized revenue of $4,329,466 and $9,009,326 for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, a decline of 52%, and $10,839,955 and $20,772,028 for the years ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, a decline of 48% that resulted from the larger projects being completed in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015. There can be no assurance that we will complete additional projects in the future and generate significant revenues or that there will not be unexpected difficulties that will require additional resources to solve and delay our growth. Contracts may be cancelled, in addition to the eight projects cancelled because of the Company’s concern that the customers lacked the ability to meet their payment obligations.
Our Business may be Affected by the Economic Growth of China.
Demand for our products is affected by the general economic conditions in China. Our projects generally require significant upfront capital expenditures, and our customers may rely on internally generated funds or on financing for the purchase of our systems. As a result of weakened macroeconomic conditions and in particular the adverse credit market conditions, our customers may experience difficulty in generating capital or in obtaining financing on attractive terms or at all. To the extent that any of the foregoing should occur, our revenues and our growth could be adversely affected.
We may be Unable to Maintain Internal Funds or Obtain Financing in the Future.
Adequate financing is one of the major factors that can affect our ability to execute our business plan. We intend to finance our business mainly through internal funds, bank loans or raising equity funds. There is no guarantee that we will always have internal funds available for future developments or we will not experience difficulties in obtaining financing and obtaining credit facilities granted by financial institutions in the future. In addition, there may be a delay in equity fundraising activities. We may not be able to secure additional sources of financing on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise additional capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. To fully realize our business objectives and potential, we may require additional financing. Additional financing may be debt, equity or a combination of debt and equity. If equity is used, it could result in significant dilution to our shareholders.
A Substantial Increase in the Cost of Solar Panels Could Adversely Affect our Growth.
We rely on third parties to supply our solar panels. Some of our competitors are vertically integrated and produce their own, giving them a cost advantage which limits the advantage of our solar installation and air energy storage power generation technologies. In addition, solar panels are in ample supply due to increased capacity, particularly in China, in recent years. A shortage of supply could result in increased costs and increase the cost advantage of our vertically integrated competitors.
We are Dependent on our Executive Officers. Any Loss in their Services without Suitable Replacement may Adversely Affect our Operations.
Zhou Deng Huahas served as our Chief Executive Officer since April 30, 2016 and has been a member of our Board of Directors since June 2, 2012. Zhiqi Zhang, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer remains as our general counsel. Zhou Jian, became Chairman in July 2014. Paul Kam Shing Chiu has served as our Chief Financial Officer since January 25, 2017.Our continued success is dependent, to a large extent, on our ability to retain their services.
The continued success of our business is also dependent on our key management and operational personnel. We rely on their experience in the alternate energy industry, product development, sales and marketing and on their relationships with our customers and suppliers.
8
The loss of the services of any of our executive directors or executive officers without suitable replacement or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel will adversely affect our operations and hence, our revenue and profits.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and our business and stock price may be adversely affected if we do not adequately address those weaknesses or if we have other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In particular, we concluded that the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has identified material weaknesses in the control environment of the Company. The material weaknesses are a (i) lack of accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, (ii) lack of comprehensive accounting policies and procedures manual in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and (iii) lack of a risk assessment process.
Although we are undertaking steps to address these material weaknesses, the existence of a material weakness is an indication that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected in the current or any future period. The design and establishment of the internal control documents, including risk control matrices, narratives, flowcharts, as well as policies for corporate governance and financial statement accounts has been completed. We anticipate the full implementation of the internal control to be finished by December 31, 2017. Until implementation of our internal controls is completed, some or all of the material weaknesses will continue.
In addition, we may in the future identify further material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we have not discovered to date. Although we are engaged in remediation efforts with respect to the material weaknesses, the existence of one or more material weaknesses could result in errors in our financial statements, and substantial costs and resources may be required to rectify these or other internal control deficiencies. If we cannot produce reliable financial reports, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly, we may be unable to obtain additional financing to operate and expand our business, and our business and financial condition could be harmed. We cannot assure you that we will be able to remediate these material weaknesses in a timely manner.
If We Do not Manage our Growth, We may not be Able to Operate our Business Effectively.
We expect significant expansion will be required to address potential growth in our customer base, the breadth of our service offerings, and other opportunities. This expansion could strain our management, operations, systems and financial resources. To manage any future growth of our operations and personnel, we must improve and effectively utilize operational, management, marketing and financial systems and successfully recruit, hire, train and manage personnel and maintain close coordination among our technical, finance, marketing, sales and recruitment staffs. We also will need to manage an increasing number of complex relationships with customers, strategic partners, advertisers and other third parties. Our failure to manage growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenue we expect.
89
Risks Related to Protection and Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights.
Our ability to compete depends, in part, on our ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property protection for our technology in China and internationally. We currently rely primarily on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyrights, trademarks and licenses to protect our intellectually property. While the Chinese government is more supportive in recent years of the protection of intellectual property rights, if we fail to enforce our intellectual property rights, our businesses may suffer. We, or our suppliers, may be subject to third-party claims of infringement on intellectual property rights. These claims, if successful, may require us to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement or license agreements, pay damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our products.
Risks Related to Lack of Property and Casualty and Employee Injury Insurance.
We may be held liable if any product we or our suppliers develop causes injury or property damage to employees or others. We do not have property and casualty insurance and injury insurance for employees. If we choose to obtain property and casualty insurance and injury insurance for employees but cannot obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise protect against potential claims, the commercialization of products that we develop may be prevented or inhibited. If we are sued for any property damage or injury caused by our products or the construction of our power systems, our liability could deplete our total assets.
If We areAre Unable to Continue to Operate in our Facilitates, ourOur Facilities, Our Operations could beCould Be Adversely Affected.
The land on which our factory, office and dormitory in Sanhe City are located is designated for agricultural use, and not for office, factory and dormitory space. However, the area has also been designated a development zone where other factories are located and additional non-agricultural development is expected upon completion of government planning. We are in the process of applying for the land use approval. If we are not able to obtain the land use approval to use the land as our manufacturing facility, we will not be able to obtain the environmental assessment report and permits that are necessary for our operations. In the event that we are unable to use the space due to the failure of obtaining the land use approval and the environmental report and permits, we intend to move our operations to the facility currently leased from Sanhe Dong Yi Glass Machine Company Limited. In the event we are unable to use our principal factory and office space as a result of this usage issue, the lease provides that LuckSky Group will use every effort to complete and perfect the ownership and usage rights, or provide Sanhe with equivalent space. However, such a move would be potentially costly and disruptive.
Risks Related to our Securities
Our Common Stock is aIs A "Penny Stock" which mayWhich May Restrict the Ability of Stockholders to Sell ourOur Common Stock in the Secondary Market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price, as defined, of less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception of an equity security that is quoted on a national securities exchange. Our Common Stock is not now quoted on a national exchange but is traded on the OTCQB of the OTC Markets (“OTCQB”). Thus, they are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities. For example, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transactions prior to the purchase. Additionally, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered underwriter, and current quotations for the securities, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The "penny stock" rules, may restrict the ability of our stockholders to sell our Common Stock and warrants in the secondary market.
910
Our Common Stock has beenHas Been Very Thinly Traded, Liquidity Is Limited, and We may beMay Be Unable to Obtain Listing of ourOur Common Stock on a moreMore Liquid Market.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB, which provides significantly less liquidity than a securities exchange (such as the NYSE MKT, New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ). There is uncertainty that we will ever be accepted for a listing on a national securities exchange.
Often thereThere is currently a very limited volume of trading in our Common Stock, and on many days there has been no trading activity at all.activity. The purchasers of shares of our Common Stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all.
Two Persons haveHave Significant Voting Power and mayMay Take Actions that may not beThat May Not Be in the Best Interests of Other Stockholders.
Zhou Jian, our Chairman, and Zhou Deng Hua, our Vice General Manager,Chief Executive Officer, who are also constituteon our Board of Directors, control 62.9% of our voting securities. If Zhou Jian and Zhou Deng Hua act together, they will be able to exert significant control over the Company's management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of the Company's stockholders.
Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC
We may beMay Be Affected by Environmental Changes in China and Global Climate Change or by Legal, Regulatory or Market Responses to suchSuch Changes.
The growing political and scientific sentiment is that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are influencing global weather patterns. Concern over climate change, including global warming, and environmental degradation in China has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives directed at limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and subsidizing alternate energy production, which have been beneficial to our business. Laws enacted that directly or indirectly affect electricity generation or our production, distribution, and cost of raw materials could all impact our business and financial results. Reductions in the subsidies provided by the government of the PRC for the use of our products would adversely affect our operations, revenue and growth.
We Face the Risk thatThat Changes in the Policies of the PRC Government could haveCould Have a Significant Impact upon the Business We may beMay Be Able to Conduct in the PRC and the Profitability of suchSuch Business.
The PRC’s economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the central government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy. Under this direction, we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While we believe that this trend will continue, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect our interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, we cannot assure you that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC's political, economic and social environment.
1011
Introduction of New Laws or Changes to Existing Laws by the PRC Government mayMay Adversely Affect ourOur Business.
The PRC legal system is a codified legal system made up of written laws, regulations, circulars, administrative directives and internal guidelines. Unlike common law jurisdictions like the U.S., decided cases (which may be taken as reference) do not form part of the legal structure of the PRC and thus have no binding effect on subsequent cases with similar issues and fact patterns.
Inflation in the PRC couldCould Negatively Affect ourOur Profitability and Growth.
While the PRC economy has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC government has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending. Such an austere policy can lead to a slowing of economic growth, which may have an adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.
Governmental Control of Currency Conversion mayMay Affect the Value of yourYour Investment.
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi, or RMB, into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. We receive all of our revenues in RMB, which is currently not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay expenses and dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency dominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of PRC to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.
The PRC government also may at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain of our expenses as they come due.
The Fluctuation of RMB mayMay Materially and Adversely Affect yourYour Investment.
The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic conditions. As we rely entirely on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from an offering of our securities into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could cause the RMB equivalent of U.S. dollars to be reduced and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making dividend payments on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the RMB we convert would be reduced. Recently, the RMB has depreciated against the U.S. dollar. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a change to our operations and a reduction in the value of these assets.

Because ourOur Principal Assets areAre Located outsideOutside of the United States and allAll of ourOur Directors and all ourAll Our Officers Reside outsideOutside of the United States, It may beMay Be Difficult for youYou to Enforce yourYour Rights Based on U.S. altered, especiallyAltered, Especially in the eventEvent of a changeChange in leadership, socialLeadership, Social or political disruption,Political Disruption, or other circumstances affectingOther Circumstances Affecting the PRC's political, economicPolitical, Economic and social environment.Social Environment.
All of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States. In addition, substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the U.S. or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in U.S. courts, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the U.S. Federal securities laws or otherwise.
Failure to Comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruptionAnti-Corruption Laws could subject usCould Subject Us to Penalties and otherOther Adverse Consequences.
We are required to comply with China’s anti-corruption laws and the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in mainland China. If our competitors engage in these practices, they may receive preferential treatment from personnel of some companies, giving our competitors an advantage in securing business or from government officials who might give them priority in obtaining new licenses, which would put us at a disadvantage. Although we inform our personnel that such practices are illegal, we cannot assure you that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our brand and reputation, our sales activities or the price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected if we become the target of any negative publicity as a result of actions taken by our employees or other agents.
We Do not have Liability Business Interruption, Litigation or Natural Disaster Insurance.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. In particular, PRC insurance companies offer limited business products. As a result, we do not have any product liability, business liability, disruption insurance or any other forms of insurance coverage for our operations in China. Any potential liability, business interruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in our business incurring substantial costs and the diversion of resources.
Restrictions underUnder PRC Law on ourOur PRC Subsidiary’sSubsidiary's Ability to Make Dividends and otherOther Distributions couldCould Materially and Adversely Affect ourOur Ability to Grow, Make Investments or Complete Acquisitions that couldThat Could Benefit ourOur Business, Pay Dividends to you,You, and otherwiseOtherwise Fund and Conduct ourOur Businesses.
Substantially all of our revenues are earned by our PRC subsidiary. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make dividend and other payments to its offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividend by our PRC subsidiary only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary is also required under PRC’s laws and regulations to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits to fund certain statutory reserve until the reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Any limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to transfer funds to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Audit Documentation related to their Audit Report included in this Registration Statement may include Audit Documentation Located in the People’s Republic of China. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Currently cannot Inspect Audit Documentation Located in China and, as such, you may be Deprived of the Benefits of such Inspection.
Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. Our operations are conducted in China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities. Accordingly, no audit documentation located in China related to our independent registered public accounting firm’s reports included in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is currently inspected by the PCAOB.
Inspections conducted by the PCAOB outside of China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. This lack of PCAOB inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating audit documentation located in China and its related quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.
The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements.

Risks Related to the VIE Agreements
The PRC Government may Determine that the VIE Agreements are not in Compliance with Applicable PRC Laws, Rules and Regulations.
Details of the VIE Agreements are set out in the under “Description of Business – Acquisition of Sanhe”. There are risks involved with the operation of our business in reliance on the VIE Agreements, including the risk that the VIE Agreements may be determined by PRC regulators or courts to be unenforceable. Our PRC counsel has provided a legal opinion that the VIE Agreements are binding and enforceable under PRC law, but has further advised that if the VIE Agreements were for any reason determined to be in breach of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such breach, including:
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
|
imposing economic penalties;
discontinuing or restricting the operations of Sanhe;
imposing conditions or requirements in respect of the VIE Agreements with which Sanhe may not be able to comply;
requiring our Company to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations;
taking other regulatory or enforcement actions that could adversely affect our Company’s business; and
revoking the business licenses and/or the licenses or certificates of Sanhe, and/or voiding the VIE Agreements.
Any of these actions could adversely affect our ability to manage, operate and gain the financial benefits of Sanhe, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Ability to Control Sanhe underUnder the VIE Agreements may not beMay Not Be as Effective as Direct Ownership.
We conduct our business in the PRC and currently generate virtually all of our revenues through the VIE Agreements. Our plans for future growth are based substantially on growing the operations of Sanhe. However, the VIE Agreements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Sanhe as direct ownership. The VIE Agreements provide us with day-to-day control over the operations of Sanhe as we provide Sanhe with complete business support and technical support and related management, training and consulting services. Under the current VIE arrangements, as a legal matter, if Sanhe fails to perform its obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to (i) incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, and (ii) rely on legal remedies under PRC law, which we cannot be sure would be effective. Therefore, if we are unable to effectively control Sanhe, it may have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives and grow our revenues.
As the VIE Agreements are governed by PRC law, we would be required to rely on PRC law to enforce our rights and remedies under them; PRC law may not provide us with the same rights and remedies as are available in contractual disputes governed by the law of other jurisdictions.
The VIE Agreements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through the jurisdiction of the courts in the PRC. If Sanhe or its shareholders fail to perform the obligations under the VIE Agreements, we would be required to resort to legal remedies available under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, or claiming damages. We cannot be sure that such remedies would provide us with effective means of causing Sanhe or its shareholders to meet their obligations, or recovering any losses or damages as a result of non-performance. Further, the legal environment in China is not as developed as in other jurisdictions. Uncertainties in the application of various laws, rules, regulations or policies in PRC legal system could limit our liability to enforce the VIE Agreements and protect our interests.
1415
The Payment Arrangement under the VIE Agreements may be Challenged by the PRC Tax Authorities.
We generate our revenues through the payments we receive pursuant to the VIE Agreements. Currently, all of our operations reside in the VIE which is required to pay our wholly owned subsidiary, Luck Sky Shen Zhen, 100% of the total annual net profit, as defined. We could face adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that the VIE Agreements were not entered into based on arm’s length negotiations. For example, PRC tax authorities may adjust our income and expenses for PRC tax purposes which could result in our being subject to higher taxes liability, or cause other adverse financial consequences.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Overview
We utilize a proprietary compressed air energy storage power generation technology that can store energy for other alternative energy sources (for example, using solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal as raw power to regenerate electricity power without the use of fossil fuels or other chemical methods.)methods). The power produced by compressed air energy storage and power release can enhance the power production capabilities of alternative energy sources. If alternative energy sources cannot be fully utilized, there will be waste sources. We believe that we utilize compressed air energy storage installations in conjunction with the power generation system of alternative energy sources that could ensure the stable power supply of alternative energy generation system and provide customers with an advanced power generation capability with no carbon or toxic emissions. Thus, our compressed air energy storage power generation technology provides a distinct and novel method for alternative energy sources.
The power generated from our system can either be used for the operation of our customers or be sold to the State Grid Corporation of China (the “State Grid”). We also utilize proprietary technology to enhance the power production capabilities of the photovoltaic solar panels (“PV panels”) that have been used in conjunction with our current projects, including projects that involve only the installation of PV panels without the installation of equipment for compressed air energy technology.
Our initial focus is on industrial users. Our firstWe have 17 project contracts, exclusive of eight projects that were cancelled. Of the 17 contracts, 13 projects are completed, three are under construction and one is to start within the next few months.
The two largest projects include aninvolved installation of PV panels in conjunction with our compressed air energy storage technology, and they consist of an installation at a factory in Shandong Province with a capacity of nine megawatts and a power plant in Hubei Province with a capacity of six megawatts. The installation insale price for the largest Shandong Province commenced productionproject was $20,290,835 (RMB126,000,000). The sale price for the largest Hubei project was $10,628,553 (RMB66,000,000), exclusive of electricity from the solar panel installation in June 2014,additional phases of four and is currently in the testing stage.eight megawatts. The installations in Shandong Province and Hubei Province were completed and connected to the State Grid on September 1, 2016 and December 3, 2015, respectively. We developed two smallerother projects in Shandong Province usinguse PV panels without air compression technology, aand their capacities are between one and two megawatt project completed in July 2015, that is awaiting certification for connection to the State Grid, and a one megawatt project completed in February 2015 and has generated revenue.megawatts. We are also developing smaller compressed air energy storage power generation equipment for use with PV that will be appropriate for smaller commercial buildings and private homes.
We produce our systems in China primarily for Chinese customers and are also exploring foreign markets. We benefit from the Chinese government’s incentives for the production of green energy. We operate a factory in Hebei province to produce components for the compressed air energy storage power generation systems, but we also purchase certain components, such as PV panels and diesel engines from third party suppliers, which we modify to operate with compressed air. We have a distribution network of third-party distributors and sales agencies in 24 provinces in China.
Recent Developments
First, we achieved significant improvement through research and testing on the air compression power generation system. We developed enhanced air compression (liquid power) generation system based on the original models. The primary mechanism is to utilize the compressed air as a power source and the green biodegradable medium of oil as a power transmitter to support the engine running and generating power. The tested output comprehensive conversion efficiency reached 46%-65%. The research improved the conversion efficiency of our air power generation system, laying the foundation for mass industrialization and commercial marketization.
1516
In order to obtain government approval of the commercialization of our air compression energy storage products, we have submitted three enterprise standards, namely, air compression (liquid power) power generation system, air compression (liquid power) power generation unit and air compression radial engine. We are establishing an enterprise standard because these products have no ISO or other qualifying standard for the industry. The certification is therefore based on our design specifications.
We hope that future air power compressed products in this field will follow and adhere to our standards, which we anticipate will become the industrial standardstandards and national standard.standards. We expect that if we become the industry and national standard,standards, our market competitiveness will be enhanced. The declaration we submitted for these three standards is being reviewed by the Provincial Industrial and Information Department of the Sanhe Technical Service Bureau.
Second, to improve sales and marketing, we intensified our efforts to promote the air power products. We also seek to benefit from the national government’s “Helping-the-Poor” Project established in 2016. The Chinese government has announced plans to release over three to five years US$14.7 billion (100 billion RMB) worth of future electricity generating capacity to support poverty alleviation and development through low cost loans and power subsidies with more than 60% of which will be for Photovoltaic (PV) technology. Accordingly, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Air Energy Electric Co., Ltd., in Hubei Xianning for this market, and invested US$1,776,000 (12 million RMB) to install an advanced automatic PV panel production line in Xianning. Capacity of the production line can be expanded to full capacity of annual production of 200 megawatt (MW) of PV panels, should demand increase, which will require an additional investment of approximately $15,000,000.
As of October 10, 2016, we signed contracts with a supplier in Dezhou for a total of US$1,044,000 (RMB 7.1 million) and US$901,000 (6.13 million RMB) of products such as PV panels, inverters and brackets.
Through 2017, the Company will concentrate its efforts to build and market our patented products, and take advantage of the government sponsored “Helping-the-Poor Project.”
Accordingly, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Air Energy Electric Co., Ltd., in Hubei Province to produce PV panels and products. In September 2017, we completed an advanced automatic PV panel production line with an annual capacity of 200 megawatts of PV panels. As of July 31, 2017, 12,000,000 RMB (approximately US$1,776,000) had been paid to install the production line and an additional 3,000,000 RMB (approximately US$440,000) remains to be paid.
Third, on July 19, 2017, the Company dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Yichien Yeh CPA (“Yichien Yeh”). The Company’s Board of Directors adopted resolutions on July 19, 2017 and approved the Audit Committee’s recommendation to dismiss Yichien Yeh.
Yichien Yeh’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Yichien Yeh did not express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
During the years ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 and during the period from August 1, 2016 through July 19, 2017, the date of dismissal, (i) there were no disagreements with Yichien Yeh on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Yichien Yeh, would have caused Yichien Yeh to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Yichien Yeh furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agreed with the statements regarding its dismissal.
Effective upon the dismissal of Yichien Yeh, CPA, the Company, engaged Weinberg & Company, P.A. as the new independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.
During the two most recent fiscal years, ended July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2016 and for the period from August 1, 2016 through July 19, 2017, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Weinberg & Company, P.A. regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Company’s financial statements, nor has Weinberg & Company, P.A. provided to the Company a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a) (1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Our Business History and Background
Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd. was originally incorporated as Goa Sweet Tours Ltd. in the State of Delaware on September 2, 2008. We were originally formed to provide personalized concierge tour packages to tourists who visit the State of Goa, India. On April 17, 2012, Goa Sweet Tours, Ltd. entered into Share Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”), with Luck Sky International Investment Holdings Limited, an entity owned and controlled by Zhou Deng Rong, and certain of our former stockholders who owned, in the aggregate, 7,200,000 shares of our common stock (90% of the then outstanding shares). Luck Sky International Investment Holdings Limited purchased such shares for an aggregate consideration of $235,000. The sale of such shares closed on May 15, 2012.
On May 25, 2012, Goa Sweet Tours, Ltd. formed a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware called Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd. ("Merger Sub") for the purpose of changing its name. On the same day, we acquired one hundred percent of the total outstanding shares of Merger Sub's common stock for cash. As such, Merger Sub became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Effective as of May 29, 2012, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company. As a result of the merger, the Company’s corporate name was changed to “Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd.” Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. The Company was the surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name change provided for in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, there was no change in the directors, officers, capital structure or business of the Company.
Lucksky Holding (Group) Co. Ltd (“LuckSky Group”), formerly named Xiangtian Kelitai Air Powered Machinery Co., Ltd., (“Xiangtian Kelitai”) was established in 2000 by Zhou Deng Rong after he obtained a series of patents and developed the compressed air energy storage and related technology. Zhou Deng Rong served as our CEO through July 31, 2014, when he was replaced by Zhiqi Zhang. Upon the merger of Luck Sky (Hong Kong) Shares Limited (“Luck Sky HK”) into the Company on September 3024,30, 2013, the Company acquired all of the shares of LuckSky HK, received 148,158,864 shares of common stock of the Company and the remaining shareholder of LuckSky HK received 101,831,136 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for their shares of LuckSky HK. LuckSky HK had no operations but the Company succeeded to the $250,000 in registered capital of LuckSky HKHK.
1617
On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Zhou Jian, the sole shareholder of Luck Sky (Hong Kong) Aerodynamic Electricity Limited (“LuckSky Aerodynamic”). Effective May 30, 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Luck Sky Aerodynamic, and the Company paid Zhou Jian a purchase price in the amount of HKD $10,000.00 (approximately USD$1,290) in cash. Luck Sky Aerodynamic and Luck Sky Shen Zhen, its subsidiary organized in the PRC, had no operating business, no liabilities and nominal assets as of the date of the acquisition. LuckSky Aerodynamic was organized to enter into the variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Sanhe. As a result of the acquisition, Luck Sky Aerodynamic became our wholly owned subsidiary and Luck Sky Shen Zhen became our indirect subsidiary through Luck Sky Aerodynamic.
Sanhe was established in July 2013 and was under common control with LuckSky Group. Sanhe had no operating business and no liabilities. On July 18, 2013, Sanhe borrowed RMB7 722,000,RMB 7,722,000, pursuant to a loan agreement with Xiangtian Kelitai, a division of LuckSky Group.
During the three months ended July 31, 2014, LuckSky Group provided Sanhe with additional working capital and transferred to Sanhe its assets and liabilities related to the compressed air energy storage power generation technology and PV panel installations, but retained its other assets. On April 1, 2014, LuckSky Group loaned Sanhe RMB3,000,000.RMB 3,000,000. In April and May 2014, Sanhe purchased the inventory, the equipment, including machinery, and office equipment from Xiangtian Kelitai at their book or historical values. Sanhe entered into leases with Lucksky Group for a portion of the factory, office space and dormitory located in Sanhe City and a lease with Dong Yi Glass Machine Company Limited, which is owned by Zhou Deng Rong, for a second factory and office space, on May 1, 2014 and April 1, 2014, respectively. Also, 48 employees transferred from LuckSky Group to Sanhe, including all personnel related to the projects under construction and development and administrative and finance personnel. See “Business-Properties” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
In May, 2016, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Air Energy Electric Co., Ltd., in Hubei Xianning to manufacture PV products. The Company also owns all of the outstanding stock of LuckSky Holdings Limited, a corporation organized in the British West Indies, which is dormant.
We reincorporated in Nevada effective October 31, 2016 as a result of a merger of Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd., a Delaware corporation, with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd., a Nevada corporation.
Acquisition of Sanhe
On July 25, 2014, prior to the Acquisition, Sanhe and Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe’s current shareholders entered into a series of agreements known as VIE Agreements pursuant to which Sanhe became Luck Sky Shen Zhen’s contractually controlled affiliate. The purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to provide Luck Sky Shen Zhen (our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary) with all of the management, control and net profits of Sanhe. While Luck Sky Shen Zhen does not actually own any of the equity and shares in Sanhe, the purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to instill in Luck Sky Shen Zhen, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, total management and voting control of Sanhe for all material purposes. The use of VIE agreements is a common structure used to acquire PRC corporations, particularly in certain industries in which foreign investment is restricted or forbidden by the PRC government.
The VIE Agreements include:
1718
(1) | Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, entered between Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe, pursuant to which Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe have agreed to enter into a series of VIE agreements and to cooperate in all prospective of Sanhe’s business operation and management; | |
(2) | Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service Agreement, entered between Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe, pursuant to which Luck Sky Shen Zhen has agreed to provide Sanhe with complete business support and technical support and related management, training and consulting services.

(3) | Exclusive Option Agreement, entered among Luck Sky HK, Luck Sky Shen Zhen, Zhou Deng Rong, Zhou Jian and Sanhe, pursuant to which Zhou Deng Rong and Zhou Jian, the owners of Sanhe, have granted to Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Luck Sky HK the irrevocable right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Sanhe; | |
(4) | Equity Pledge Agreement, entered among Luck Sky Shen Zhen, Zhou Deng Rong, Zhou Jian, and Sanhe, pursuant to which Zhou Deng Rong and Zhou Jian, the owners of Sanhe, have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in Sanhe to Luck Sky Shen Zhen to guarantee Sanhe’s performance of its obligations under all the other VIE Agreements; | |
(5) | Know-How Sub-License Agreement, entered between Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe, pursuant to which Luck Sky Shen Zhen has granted Sanhe an exclusive right to use and develop in China a series of aerodynamics related patents and technologies with respect to electrical generation for commercial and residential structures, not including | |
(6) | Power of Attorney. Pursuant to a power of attorney, each of the Sanhe stockholders agreed to irrevocably entrust |
The Framework Agreement and the Exclusive Management Agreement have initial terms of ten years but each containcontains a renewal provision that allows Luck Sky Shen Zhen to extend the term of such agreements at its sole option by written notice with no limitation as to such extensions. The other agreements are of unlimited duration.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, the Exclusive Management Agreement, Consulting and Training and Technical Service Agreement, the Exclusive Option Agreement, the Equity Pledge Agreement, the Know-How Sub-License Agreement and the Power-of- Attorney is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the agreements previously filed with the SEC in August 2014, which are incorporated by reference herein.
On July 25, 2014, we agreed to issue 264,850,740 shares and 8,191,260 shares of our common stock to Zhou Jian and Zhou Deng Rong, respectively, the sole shareholders of Sanhe, in consideration for the execution of the VIE Agreements and the Acquisition of Sanhe.
See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” for further information on our contractual arrangements with these parties.
1819
Because of the common control between us, LuckSky Shen Zhen and Sanhe, for accounting purposes, the acquisition of these entities has been treated as a combination between entities under common control with no adjustment to the historical basis of their assets and liabilities. Since there is a change of reporting entity after the acquisition takes place, the Company accounts for business combinations pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805-50 which generally requires the entity that receives net assets or equity interests to recognize the carrying amounts of the net assets transferred in its accounting for the combination and to combine the financial statements of the entities under common control for all periods presented and to eliminate any intercompany balances and transactions.
Our Corporate Structure
All of our business operations are conducted through our Hong Kong and Chinese subsidiaries and controlled affiliate. The chart below presents our corporate structure:
Industry Background
According to the National Energy Administration, consumption of electricity in China has grown from 5.32 trillion kWh in 2013 to 5.92 trillion kWh in 2016, with consumption in 2016 representing a five percent increase over 2015. The electricity generated by grid-connected solar in 2016 was 66.2 billion kWh with an increase of 72% from 2015.
Electricity in China is distributed by the State Grid, which is required to purchase electricity. The percent of the utilization of the renewable energy in 2014 is shown below:
Total Generation Capacity of Renewable Energy in the P.R.C.
1920
*The data is from the NEA’s report of total consumption of electricity in 2014 (published in 2015)
We are a pioneer in the field of Compressed Air Energy Storage in China. The only other effort in China of which we are aware is a pilot project established by the Chinese Academy of Science (the “CAS”) of compressed air storage energy generation in Wuhu city in November 2014.
We are producing electricity generation systems that combine our compressed air storage technology with PV panels to achieve a continuous supply of power, especially under weather conditions that are unfavorable to the generation of electricity from PV panels alone. We chose to initially utilize PV panels to produce the raw power because China has abundant solar energy resources. Many parts of China have long durations of sunshine; and China has vast vacant spaces that are available for the installation of solar energy systems.
The installation of PV systems is developing quickly in China. In 2016, the cumulative installed PV capacity reached 77.42 Gigawatts (“GW”), the most of any nation. . According to the 13th Five Year Plan (published in 2015), the government hopes to add 65 Gigawatts (“GW”) of PV during the 2016 – 2020 period. In its guidance on promoting the healthy development of the Solar Industry (2013), the State Council of China raised the target of capacity of solar power to 35 GW in 2015 from the original 2015 target of 21 GW set by the National Energy Administration of China in 2012. China had only one GW of PV installations in 2010.
The Chinese solar market has grown rapidly, driven by a favorable policy environment intended to meet a greater portion of the country’s growing energy needs from cleaner sources, while also driving demand for domestic solar panel manufacturers. In July 2013, the State Council of China published the Opinion on Promoting the Healthy Development of PV Industry (the “Opinion”) which initiated establishment of the PV systems in the national level. In addition to setting targets for the increase in installed PV systems, grid-connection, power acquisition, subsidy, and land policies were further detailed in the Opinion. The Opinion standardized the tax benefit and feed-in tariff for the PV industry on a national level and it also set the target of promoting distributed PV (DPV) system. The feed in tariffs for large-scale ground mounted power plants are between 0.9 yuan ($0.14) and 1 yuan ($0.16) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy generated, based on the radiation levels at the location of the plant. Distribution projects get a payment of between 0.62 yuan ($0.10) to 0.78 yuan ($ 0.12) per kWh. These subsidies will be valid for the next 20 years and will benefit project developers such as ourselves, since the subsidies protect the rate of return on PV projects. In October 2013, China adopted a tax benefit policy which allows a refund of 50% value-added tax for selling the solar photovoltaic power products. China also provides other incentives, including free grid connectivity for small and medium-scale distributed PV solar power producers.
The promotion of the DPV module is encouraging the manufacture and installation of PV in China. The government started to promote the distributed PV (the “DPV”) model in the proposal of the Opinion in 2012. The DPV systems are smaller PV system installed on the rooftop of building. This system generally can provide the sufficient energy for the building where it is located. On the national level, the national government allows the DPV system to be connected to the State Grid. In this case, the DPV owner can either use the electricity or sell the electricity to the State Grid with feed-in tariff (around 1 CN per kWh).
The solar panel industry in China is highly competitive, with around 20 to 30 companies providing installation service and 50 manufacturers. In 2014, six of the 10 largest PV panel manufacture were located in China However, we believe that we are the only company that offers an electrical generation system that combines compressed air energy storage power generation technology.

Our Competitive Advantages
We believe that we possess the following competitive advantages that allow us to maintain our strong market position and will aid our profit growth in the future:
Environmental Protection:We believe that if alternative energy sources cannot be fully utilized, including instances when the electricity they produce cannot be economically stored or the source is unstable, then some productive capacity will be wasted. We utilize compressed air energy storage equipment in conjunction with the power generation system of alternative energy sources to produce electricity, which is a novel approach and provides customers with an advanced power generation capability with no carbon or toxic emissions. When power generated by the alternate energy sources, such as solar energy or wind energy, becomes unstable or fluctuates, the compressed air power generation system can start functioning and ensure a stable power supply and better utilize the productive capacity of the alternate energy source. . Our compressed air energy storage power generation technology provides a new and unique method for alternative energy source power generation.
Flexibility: Our compressed air technology can be used with any other power sources. We can use solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, water energy and all the available natural energy as a raw power in conjunction with our compressed air energy storage technology. The collected mechanical energy from the raw power source is converted into compressed air and is then converted and released into direct current power. Through our ultra-wide voltage and high-performance power inverter, we produce an output of stable power in compliance with the Chinese national interconnection standards.
Enhancement of Use of PV Panels and other Energy SourcesSources:: The use of the compressed air energy storage technology helps overcome structural limitations of the use of PV panels and providing power to the State Grid. The use of PV panels is limited by the capacity of the State Grid, which limits the amount of energy that can be purchased from the PV industry and other sources of alternate energy that lack the capacity to efficiently store electricity but produce more power that can be used when generated. The expansion of the capacity of the PV industry could be constrained by the inability of the power grid to purchase the additional energy and the compressed air energy storage technology allows the energy to be stored until the electricity can be sold to the State Grid when PV panels are not producing electricity, such as when there is insufficient sunshine.
Patent Protection:Zhou Deng Rong, our founder and former Chief Executive Officer, and Zhou Jian, our Chairman of the Board, and LuckSky Group are the holders of 48 patents and 13 patent applications in China with respect to various aspects of the compressed air energy storage power generation technology, including improvements to the solar power generation system, the installation of solar energy systems, the inverters, and generators. Sanhe obtained a Chinese patent in August 2014 for utility module regarding photovoltaic power generation system. In addition, the patents, patent applications and related know-how and trade secrets are subject to an exclusive license for worldwide use to Luck Sky Shen Zhen, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary.
Government Incentives:The development of alternative sources of energy to reduce the amount of pollution in China caused by burning fossil fuels, particularly the use of coal to generate electric power, is a priority of the Chinese government. The Chinese government offers tax and rebate incentives for the construction of PV production facilities and has become stricter regarding the construction of power plants that rely on coal.
Technical Advantage Compared to Conventional Battery Technologies:The use of conventional batteries to store excess electricity produced by solar power or other alternative energy sources is less attractive than the compressed air energy storage power generation technology. The most important disadvantages to standard batteries are that industrial batteries lose their capacity to store electricity over time, and also present environmental risks with respect to their production and disposal. Tank storage technology is estimated to have a 30 year lifespan and the steel can be recycled.
Technical Advantage Compare to Conventional Solar Panels and Inverter/Converters:Our patented technologies increase the efficiency of PV panels to generate DC current by enhancing their ability to operate at levels of lower sunlight and also increase the efficiency of the inverter/converter that converts the DC current to AC current by operating at a wider range of DC current than conventional inverter/converters. One licensed patent applies to the array of the PV panels.
2122
Technical Advantage Compare to Conventional Grid-connected Photovoltaic Power Generation:We adopted smart micro-grid technology which increases the efficiency of the power generation of the PV systems and significantly reduced the project costs of power plants. The micro-grid technology also helps us to improve the flexibility of PV systems, realize real zero emission of our power plant, improve reliability and help to restore power more quickly when the macro-grid is down.
Reduced Electrical Costs:Customers who generate electricity using alternate energy systems that is intermittent or subject to periods of low production need to be linked to the State Grid to meet their power requirements. Our compressed air energy storage power generation system allows consumers to limit or eliminate their reliance on the State Grid; by producing power during periods of peak pricing by the State Grid and storing the surplus energy produced by their alternate energy systems when prices charged by the State Grid are less expensive.
Scalability:The compressed air energy storage power generation system in conjunction with a PV panel installation is easily expanded thru the addition of additional solar panels, more storage tanks and/or bigger generators and engines.
Our Growth Strategy
Chinese demand for electricity is expected to increase by nearly 300 % between 2010 and 2040 according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (http://www.eia.gov/countries/country-data.cfm?fips=CH). We believe demand for electricity and solar energy production will continue to grow domestically and globally, thus affording us opportunity to grow and expand our business operationsoperations.
We intend to pursue the following strategies:
1) | Sell systems to construct large-scale power plants that sell power to the State Grid or service zones that are off the grid and benefit from government subsidy policies. | |
2) | Sell power system to industrial consumers with large electricity demand, in excess of one megawatt, to establish their own power generation facilities to benefit from government subsidy polices to reduce operating costs by either being off the State Grid, reducing their purchased from the grid during peak periods or being able to store energy when the grid is not purchasing power. | |
3) | Sell systems to industrial and mining companies operating in remote locations which lack connections to the State Grid to create self- sufficient systems. | |
4) | Complete development of prototypes and commercialize smaller air compression power generation systems designed for standalone homes and smaller factories and commercial structures. | |
5) | Produce, sell and install PV products without air |
Products
Our principal product is a system that combines our air compression power generation systems with a PV installation that is custom designed for industrial users such as factories and power plants. We also offer PV systems without the air compression generation technology based on certain technological innovations that we believe increase the efficiency of our PV systems compared to those of competitors.
The air compression power generation systems can be used with multiple forms of natural energy production, including solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and tidal and the selection of the appropriate natural source depends on their relative availability at the customer’s location. Although use of any of these natural energy sources is feasible, we have initially focused on linking our air compression technology to PV installationsinstallations. The installation of the solar power systems generally requires the lowest investment and shortest building time, in part because the area for building the facility is flexible as solar installations can be used anywhere outdoors and take advantage of a customer’s room. Wind power is not stable as the turbines may be inoperable at low or high winds. Nuclear and hydropower facilities are only feasible for producing power for the State Grid and are not feasible for individual factories and homes

1.Basic PV Installation. Conventional PV power generation technology is designed based upon the assumption that the minimum sun exposure would be 200W and the range of maximum power point tracking (the “MPPT”) is from DC480v to DC580v. When sun exposure is reduced and voltage drops below the DC480v, the problem with the conventional system is that it stops working; and the residual power in the photovoltaic panels that are generated under the lower light exposure cannot be utilized. The Company’s new intelligent photovoltaic technology improves power generation and shortens investment recovery time. The PV system uses a variable PV array technology and wide voltage intelligent inverter device developed by the Company. Customers can produce an additional 15% - 30% electricity each year as the system can operate in lower light environments than conventional PV technology.
We sell the PV installation that includes the solar panels installation and solar energy generation converter equipment with proprietary technology without the air compression for customers who do not need to store energy. The conversion advantage provides a higher capacity that allows the solar array to be used more effectively.
2.Compressed Air Energy Storage Technology.The power consumption rate of PV systems interconnected into the State Grid varies greatly and the active energy cannot be fully consumed, which causes significant energy waste. Generally, systems interconnected to the State Grid consume only 70% of the produced power and enterprises not connected to the State Grid consume only 60% - 70% of the produced power, and the residual power is wasted. Utilizing our compressed air energy storage system with photovoltaic power generation system improves the efficiency of power generation and reduces the waste of residual power.
Our air compression energy storage generation technology is also designed for customers whose alternative energy source provides intermittent or unstable power. The systems are sold in conjunction with a PV installation. A portion of the electricity produced by the PV panels is used to compress air into the cylinders, which effectively store the energy until it is released. The system includes compression equipment, storage tanks and a modified engine that is linked to a generator. The surplus power generated by the air compression technology may either be used by the customer it its operations or sold to the State Grid.
The following chart illustrates an air compression power generation system that is linked with a PV installation, although the compression system can be linked to other alternative energy sources, such as wind farms, biomass, tidal or geothermal.

Electricity Generation Process
1. Energy collection – photovoltaic power generation. |
Photovoltaic power generation is greatly affected by the amount of sunlight the PV system receives. The changes in the intensity of sunlight affect the power generation, which causes direct current to fluctuate. Therefore, actions to offset the fluctuation are essential. When fluctuation or disruption in photovoltaic power occurs, or during the night or when power in the storage system is exhausted, the power supply must be converted to a voltage transformer. However, based upon the current power supply equipment in power plants, energy cannot be instantly converted on a per megawatt basis. Therefore, frequent conversions are needed, which might obstruct system security and power production. Our design of the AC/DC non-contact converter rectifier can resolve this issue at a low cost. If DC power is below DC430v, DC offset is automatically incorporated into the electricity network and the transformer photovoltaic power will be shared with the power supply. The inverter won’t lose electricity and the entire system will not fluctuate or have the power shut off.
The system offers double power selection by utilizing a backup switch to ensure that the power supply does not stop. Should the generation of the solar power become unstable or intermittent, the system switches to operate using the air compression generation technology or, if available, to rely on the State Grid.
2. Compression Storage System |
A. Compressor – fills storage tanks with air.
B. Plasma Heater – heats air being stored into tanks to a temperature of 300 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to increase the amount of stored energy.
C. Storage Tanks – stores compressed air. Our storage tanks are built with carbon steel to withstand higher pressures. Each one megawatt of generated electricity requires 2 tanks, each with an average capacity of 30 m3 of compressed air. The standard tank is 50 meters long and 1.5 meters in diameter. The energy capacity per tank is dependent on the temperature and pressure of the air and the capacity of the e cylinder. The quality of the storage tanks are based on ISO standards.
2425
D. Air Engine – we utilize our patented technology to modify diesel engines purchased from outside vendors to enable the engine to operate on compressed air. A pressure regulator within the air engine turns the generator. Unlike a conventional combustion engine that explodes fossil fuel to create energy, the compressed air engine utilizes the heat and compression of the air to release energy.
E. Generator – Our proprietary generator utilizes patented and other proprietary technology was developed in 2012 for our air compression storage generation system. The device affords stability by maintaining a consistent supply despite changes in the air pressure that may cause inefficiency in the engine (for example, a piston misfiring). Our tests indicated that the generator is more efficient that the industry standard in maintaining a stable flow of voltage.
The air compression technology is used to produce electricity primarily at night or at other times when the electricity produced by the PV panels is intermittent or unstable. At such times, the compressed air is sent first from the storage tanks to the thermal heater, then to the engine. The engine then spins a flywheel attached to the generator.
Projects
As of January 31, 2017,Currently, we have sixteen17 project contracts. Seven were completed;Thirteen are completed, three are under constructions, and one is expected to start within several months. In addition, we have had eight project cancelled because of them are in process, two of them is being canceled and four are aboutour concern that the customers may fail to start.meet their payment obligations.

The project was completed and connected to the State Grid on September 1, 2016. The customer anticipates utilizing the power produced by the compressed air technology when production from the solar panels is insufficient and when electricity from the State Grid is either too expensive during peak hours or not available. The customer may also generate revenue by selling power to the State Grid. The sale price for the project iswas $20,290,835 (RMB126,000,000)(RMB 126,000,000), which has beenwas paid as of July 31, 2016.
For the Haide Group Project, we have executed a purchase contract for the PV panels with Shandong TD Solar Company Limited, who also installed the PV panels and equipment. We also signed a supplemental agreement with Shandong Thaidai Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd., a supplier of the Haide Group Project, in January 2015. The Company paid a deposit of $2,579,896 (RMB 16,000,000) to Ni Baofeng, an unaffiliated third party, who is the guarantor of Sanhe’s obligations under the agreement with Shandong Thaidai. In order to help assure Shandong Thaidai’s fulfillment of its supply obligations and to facilitate completion of the project, Ni Baofeng agreed to not release the money to Shandong Thaidai without the consent of Sanhe.
In Hubei province, we completed construction of a six megawatt projectfacility with 10 megawatts of production capacity at athe new power plant using air compression technology and PV panels (the “Hubei Xianning Project”). The initial six megawatts project was completed in November 2015 and connected to the State Grid on December 3, 2015.

Marketing
We market our products through third-party distributors in 24 provinces and through employees for direct sales. The distributors exclusively sell our products and receive commissions based on the value of the contracts but no salary. We utilize three classes of distributors based on the size of their territory – provincial, city and town. The distributors target both factories and power plants, but also local governments which may encourage local industry to utilize alternate energy sources. Our marketing focus is on:
1) | Large scale power plants that sell power to the State Grid or service zones that are off the grid and benefit from government subsidy policies. |
2) | Industrial concerns with large electricity demand, in excess of one megawatt, to establish their own power generation facilities to benefit from government subsidy policy to reduce operating costs by either being off the State Grid, reducing their purchased from the grid during peak periods or being able to store energy when the grid is not purchasing power. |
3) | Industrial and mining companies operating in remote locations which lack connections to the State Grid to create self- sufficient systems. |
4) | In 2016, we intend to commence marketing a smaller air energy compression generation and PV system to smaller commercial structures and stand- alone homes using the same distribution network. |
Manufacturing
We produce and assemble our PV installations and air energy compression generation systems at our factory in Sanhe. We produce many components, including the brackets and supports for the PV panels, an ultra-wideband voltage power inverter and converter, parts to modify the engines to operate using air compression, low-speed aerodynamic generators, and isothermal air compressor and thermal heaters. Other parts, such as solar panels, power cords, engines, carbon fiber tanks and generators and compressors are purchased from third parties and used to assemble our systems.
Our factory is based in Hebei Province Sanhe City, Yanjiao Economic Development Zone, with a production workshop of 7500 square meters for our core-technology equipment that can supply solar energy systems. We produce the engine generators and related components, but not the PV panels. The factory has a total capacity of up to 7 megawatts each month, based on one –eight hour shift working six days per week. Capacity can readily be expanded by adding additional shifts or building up to three more production lines at our facility.
2628
We builtIn May 2016, we established a production line inwholly-owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Air Energy Electric Co., Ltd. (“, in Xianning Xiangtian”),in Hubei Province, to manufacture PV panels and related products. We completed the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to produce PV Pane. Theadvanced production line haswith an annual production capacity of 200 megawatt (MW).megawatts of PV panels in September 2017. As of July 31, 2017, we had paid 12,000,000 RMB (approximately US$1,776,000) to install the production line and an additional 3,000,000 RMB (approximately US$440,000) remains due.
Suppliers
We are not dependent on any single supplier for any important product. We purchase our solar panels from fivesix suppliers, engines from one supplier, and carbon fiber storage tanks from threetwo suppliers. We have a good relationship with each supplier. We believe that many suitable alternate producers of these products are available should we need an alternate supplier. We also purchase electrical components to the inverter/converters, generators, compressors and control panels that we manufacture and believe that alternate suppliers of such components are also readily available.
Patents and Technology
Zhou Deng Rong and Zhou Jiang are the inventors for all of our technologies. On July 25, 2014, Luck Sky Shen Zhen, our Chinese subsidiary, obtained an exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license from Zhou Deng Rong and Zhou Jian (his son) and a second exclusive, worldwide royalty free license from LuckSky Group to 48 Chinese patents and 13 patent applications and trade secrets, including the technology underlying the patent applications for power stations, commercial buildings and residences in China, but not for other uses, including wind towers, vehicles and trains (the “Technology”). The Technology represents all of licensors’ patents with respect to PV power generation installations, the air energy storage power generation technology and trade secrets. AsEffective as of July 31, 2015, Beijing XiangTian Huachuang Aerodynamic Force Technology Research Institute Company (“XiangTian Huachuang”).granted, granted Luck Sky Shen Zhen an exclusive worldwide license to four foreign patents that it had recently obtained. XiangTian Huachuang obtained three patents in Japan and one patent in Australia in March 2015. XiangTian Huachuang is owned 30% by Zhou Jian and 70% by Zhou Deng Rong.
LuckSky Shen Zhen granted an exclusive sub-license to the use and exploitation of the Technology in China to Sanhe in July 2014, which sub-license provides for a licensing fee of five percent of Sanhe’s revenues. In addition, Sanhe obtained a patent in August 2014 for utility module regarding photovoltaic power generation system.
Research and Development
Our Technology was originally developed principally by Zhou Deng Rong. Sanhe obtained the legal right to use and develop the Technology through the Agreement on Know-How Sub-Licensing executed on July 25, 2014 with Luck Sky Shen Zhen, and Luck Sky Shen Zhen was granted a license to use and sublease the Technology through licensing agreements with Zhou Deng Rong, Zhou Jian, and LuckSky Group, owners of the Technology. We rely
As of September 12, 2017 and July 31, 2016, the research and development department had 5 and 2 employees, respectively. The Company is focusing on the development of its project installation team and sales promotion team and it is relying on LuckSky Group, a licensor, for its research and technology but intend to develop our own research and development capabilities.development.
Warranty
We provide a five yearfive-year limited warranty on all models of compressed air energy generators produced by us, and on the parts we manufacture, such as the inverter/converter and plasma heater. Components that we purchase from third party suppliers, such as the PV panels, storage tanks and the unmodified portions of the engines, are governed by the suppliers’ warranties.
2729
Competition
We compete against larger, better capitalized and better known competitors that have become, or are becoming, vertically integrated in the PV industry value chain, from module manufacturing to PV system sales and installation, such as Yingli Green Energy, one of the largest vertically integrated PV module suppliers in the world. China has about 20 to 30 companies providing PV installation service and 50 PV manufacturers. In 2014, six of the 10 largest PV panel manufacturers were located in China The ability of the vertically integrated competitors to produce modules and sometimes also be polysilicon manufacturers gives them a cost advantage with respect to the price of PV modules, which we purchase, and which could erode our competitive advantage resulting from our PV installation and air compression technologies. Furthermore, we face competition from conventional energy and non-solar renewable energy providers.
With respect to large integrated PV system projects, we compete primarily in terms of price, design and construction experience, aesthetics and conversion efficiency. We face competition from other providers of renewable energy solutions, including developers of PV, solar thermal and concentrated solar power systems, and developers of other forms of renewable energy projects, including wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, and tidal. We also face competition from other EPC companies and joint venture type arrangements between EPC companies and solar companies. While the decline in PV modules prices over the last several years has increased demand in solar electricity worldwide, competition at the systems level can be intense, thereby exerting downward pressure on systems level profit margins industry-wide, to the extent competitors are willing and able to bid aggressively low prices for new projects and power purchase agreements, or PPAs, using low cost assumptions for modules, components, installation, maintenance and other costs. We face intense competition in the PV system markets and our PV and compressed air energy generation systems compete with different solar energy systems as well as other renewable energy sources in the alternative energy market.”
Also, air power technologies are being developed in Italy, Germany, the United Stated, and France.
Environmental Matters
We have installed various types of anti-pollution equipment in our facilities to reduce, treat, and where feasible, recycle the wastes generated in our manufacturing process. We contain and treat waste water generated in our production process. The other major environmental contaminant we generate is gaseous waste. We treat such gas in our special facilities to reduce the contaminant level to below the applicable environmental protection standard before discharging the gas into the atmosphere. Our operations are subject to regulation and periodic monitoring by local environmental protection authorities. The Chinese national and local environmental laws and regulations impose fees for the discharge of waste substances above prescribed levels, impose fines for serious violations and provide that the Chinese national and local governments may at their own discretion close or suspend the operation of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring it to cease or remedy operations causing environmental damage.
In May 2014, as required by PRC law, we obtained the Environmental Assessment Report on Construction Projects for the manufacturing space that we lease from Dong Yi Glass Machine Company Limited, which is used as our second factory and offices. This report was issued by an independent qualified evaluation company with a conclusion that the operations conducted by Sanhe comply with relevant environmental laws in China, which will not cause detrimental environmental impacts. However, since our primary manufacturing and office space leased from LuckSky Group in Sanhe City has a zoning restriction that only permits agricultural use, we are still in the process of obtaining the approval for the manufacturing use.
No penalties have been imposed on us or our subsidiaries, and we believe we are currently in compliance with present environmental protection requirements in all material respects, and have obtained or been in the process of obtaining all necessary environmental permits for our production facility. We are not aware of any pending or threatened environmental investigation proceeding or action by any governmental agency or third party.

In February 2005, China enacted its Renewable Energy Law, which became effective on January 1, 2006, or the 2006 Renewable Energy Law. The 2006 Renewable Energy Law sets forth the national policy to encourage and support the use of solar and other renewable energy and the use of on-grid generation. On December 26, 2009, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress adopted an amendment to the 2006 Renewable Energy Law, or the Amended Renewable Energy Law, which became effective on April 1, 2010. While the 2006 Renewable Energy Law has laid the legal foundation for developing renewable energy in China, the Amended Renewable Energy Law has introduced practical implementing measures to enhance such development.
The Amended Renewable Energy Law details the principles, main content and key issues of the renewable energy development and utilization plans, further elaborates the requirements for grid companies to purchase the full amount of electricity generated from renewable energy by setting out the responsibilities and obligations of the government, the power companies and the grid companies, respectively, and also clarifies that the state will set up a special fund, referred to as the renewable energy development fund, to compensate the difference between the tariff for electricity generated from renewable energy and that generated from conventional energy sources. The proceeds of the renewable energy development fund may also be used to support renewable energy scientific research, finance rural clean energy projects, build independent power systems in remote areas and islands, and build information networks to exploit renewable energy. It is anticipated that China will publish more detailed implementing rules for the Amended Renewable Energy Law and make corresponding changes to those existing implementing rules relating to renewable energy.
The current rebates available for our customers include a rebate of 0.42 RMB per kilowatt for 20 years for factories and 1 RMB per kilowatt for 20 years for power plants.
China’s Ministry of Construction issued a directive in June of 2005, which seeks to expand the use of solar energy in residential and commercial buildings and encourages the increased application of solar energy in townships. In addition, China’s State Council promulgated a directive in June of 2005, which sets forth specific measures to conserve energy resources and encourage exploration, development and use of solar energy in China’s western areas, which are not fully connected to electricity transmission grids, and other rural areas. In July 2007, the PRC State Electricity Regulatory Commission issued the Supervision Regulations on the Purchase of All Renewable Energy by Power Grid Enterprises which became effective on September 1, 2007. To promote the use of renewable energy for power generation, the regulations require that electricity grid enterprises must in a timely manner set up connections between the grids and renewable power generation systems and purchase all the electricity generated by renewable power generation systems. The regulations also provide that power dispatch institutions shall give priority to renewable power generation companies in respect of power dispatch services provision.
On August 31, 2007, the NDRC implemented the National Medium- and Long-Term Programs for Renewable Energy, or MLPRE, which highlights the government’s long-term commitment to the development of renewable energy.

On April 1, 2008, the PRC Energy Conservation Law came into effect. Among other objectives, this law encourages the utilization and installation of solar power facilities in buildings for energy-efficiency purposes.
On March 23, 2009, the MOF, issued the Provisional Measures for Administration of Government Subsidy Funds for Application of Solar Photovoltaic Technology in Building Construction, which outline a subsidy program dedicated to rooftop PV systems with a minimum capacity of 50 kilowatt-peak.
In July 2010, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the “City Illumination Administration Provisions” or the Illumination Provision. The Illumination Provisions encourage the installation and use of renewable energy system such as PV systems in the process of construction and re- construction of city illumination projects.
On July 24, 2011, the NDRC issued the Notice on Improving the On-grid Tariff Policy for Photovoltaic Generation. Under this Notice, it is required that a uniform national benchmark on-grid tariff for solar energy photovoltaic generation be formulated. Furthermore, for PV projects that had been approved before July 1, 2011 and would be completed by December 31, 2011, the feed-in tariff would be RMB1.15/kWh, including value-added tax, or VAT. Except for PV projects that are constructed in Tibet, for PV projects that are approved after July 1, 2011 and PV projects that had been approved before July 1, 2011 but would not be completed by December 31, 2011, the feed-in tariff including VAT would be RMB1/kWh.
On March 14, 2012, the MOF, the NDRC and the National Energy Administration, or the NEA, jointly issued interim measures for the management of additional subsidies for renewable-energy power prices, according to which relevant renewable-energy power generation enterprises are entitled to apply for subsidies for their renewable power generation projects that satisfy relevant requirements set forth in the measures.
On January 1, 2013, the State Council adopted a Circular on the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Energy Development, which sets out key development objectives for the industry during the 12th Five-Year Plan. In accordance with this plan, to optimize the structure of energy consumption, the proportion of non- fossil energy consumption shall be increased to 11.4 percent of total energy consumption by 2015.
In March 2013, NDRC issued the Notice on Improving the Pricing Scheme for Photovoltaic Power Generation. According to this notice, the NDRC proposed to reduce the feed-in tariff for utility scale PV projects from RMB 1/kWh to RMB 0.75/kWh, RMB 0.85/kWh and RMB 0.95/kWh, depending on the project’s location of construction. The feed-in tariff for PV projects constructed in specific regions would remain at RMB 1/kWh. In addition, the NDRC proposed a subsidy of RMB 0.35/kWh for distributed PV generation projects and the purchase price of electricity generated to be in line with the coal-electricity tariffs.
In March 2013, NDRC, the NEA and the MOF, jointly issued measures to standardize settlement of feed-in tariffs, which are believed to help address the delay in payment of solar subsidies and settlement of accounts payable experienced by solar project developers. In addition, pursuant to a July 2013 MOF notice, starting from August 2013, subsidies for distributed PV power generation stations (excluding distributed PV power generation projects) are required to be paid directly from the MOF to the State Grid Corporation of China and the China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd., rather than through the MOF’s provincial counterparts. As a result of such measures, the collection period for feed-in-tariffs is expected to be significantly shortened.
The MOF has proposed to almost double the renewable energy surcharge for end-users of electricity from RMB0.008 per kWh to RMB0.015 per kWh, effective since September 25, 2013.
On August 26, 2013, the Department of Price of the NDRC released subsidy details for PV projects. Transmission-grid-connected projects will receive a feed-in-tariff of RMB0.90 to RMB1.00 per kWh, and distribution-grid-connected projects will receive a premium of RMB0.42 per kWh in addition to the desulphurized coal benchmark price. Distribution-grid-connected projects are expected to represent the majority of China’s new PV installation in the next few years. Unlike the rest of the world, capital expenditures for distribution-grid-connected projects are higher than transmission-grid-connected projects, since labor costs for scaffolding and work on rooftops are low in China and rooftop space is currently free. Meanwhile, the NDRC announced that the feed-in tariff will be valid, in principle, for 20 years.
3032
On September 23, 2013, the MOF and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued a notice that ordered a 50% refund of value-added tax on sales by PV manufacturers of their PV products. This VAT refund will be effective from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015.
On November 26, 2013, the MOF announced that the electricity generated by the distributed PV system for its own use is exempted from paying four governmental charges. On the same date, the NEA promulgated the “Interim Measures for the Administration of PV Power Generation.”, which clarify that the state department in charge of energy and its local counterparts are responsible for the supervision of PV projects.
On February 12, 2014, the NEA circulated the target of national solar installations for 2014 to be 14GW, 6GW of which would be targeted for utility scale, 8GW for distributed generation.
On the same day, the NEA released a list of 81 “New Energy Demonstration Cities” and eight “industrial demonstration parks” in 28 and 8 provinces respectively. These cities and zones are required to achieve their respective mandatory targets in terms of solar PV installations and the percentage of installed renewable energy power generation capacities by the end of 2015, or the end of the 12th Five-Year-Plan.
In February 2014, the Certification and Accreditation Administration and the NEA jointly issued the “Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Testing and Certification of PV Products.” The implementation opinions provide that only certified PV products may be connected to the public grid or receive government subsidies. The institutions that certify PV products must be approved by the Certification and Accreditation Administration. According to the implementation opinions, PV products that are subject to certification include PV battery parts, inverters, control devices, confluence devices, energy storage devices and independent PV systems.
In 2016, the government enacted the “Helping the Poor” Project. The National Poverty Alleviation Office has set an objective for the provinces and cities to alleviate poverty in the next three years through government investment to construct household power stations for poor families and to subsidize electricity charges for poor families to alleviate poverty.
Environmental 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.
The relevant laws and regulations generally impose discharge fees based on the level of emission of pollutants. These laws and regulations also impose fines for violations of laws, regulations or decrees and provide for possible closure by the central or local government of any enterprise which fails to comply with orders requiring it to rectify the activities causing environmental damage.
We have received the environmental certification from the government related to our manufacturing process.
3133
Product Quality Certification
Our air energy storage power generation products require certification by the National Quality Supervision Department. As our air compression products are nonstandard, there is no ISO or other qualifying standard for the industry. The certification is therefore based on our design specifications. We have provided the government with our design specifications and begun discussions with the standard. We believe that there is no material risk that the government will not accept our product as the government is encouraging new technology in power generation.

The resulting change in the use of net cash for the period was a decrease of $188,018,$457,476, which was primarily due to a decline in cash outflow to suppliers, albeit theof prepayment and purchasing inventory coupled with a decline in cash inflow of the amounts due from related parties and shareholders.customers, accounts receivable.

As of July 31, 2016, we had current liabilities of $8,275,631, which was mainly comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4,851,630, amount due to directors of $414,876, amount due to related parties of $1,716,734, advance from customers of $620,814, deferred tax liabilities of $107,609, other payables of$234,791of $234,791 and income tax payable of $329,177.
We had net assets of $7,652,604$7,060,279 and $8,502,334 as of October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, respectively.
As of January 31, 2017,Currently, we had sixteenhave 17 project contracts. Seven were completed;Thirteen are completed, three of them are in process, two of them are being canceled and four are about to start. Three projects in Shandong province commenced operations in 2015, one project in Fujian province commenced operation in February 2016, the two projects in Hubei and Zhejiang commenced operations in March 2016under construction, and one in Hubei commenced in April 2016. The projects in Shanxi province and Sichuan province are being cancelled. The project in Heilongjiang is waiting for the final checkup report. The other two projects in Hubei are expected to be completedstart within a few months. In addition, we have had eight projects cancelled because of our concern that the customers may fail to meet their payment obligations. The contracts typically provide for payments in installments, with approximately 35% paid upon the first quartercommencement of 2017.Weconstruction, and the balance in two equal installments approximately 6 and 18 months later. We are dependent on theseour projects for all our projected revenue until we obtain additional customers and any material delay or reduction in the projected cash receipts will adversely affect our operations. While we expect to generate revenue on the completion of our projects to meet the liquidity and capital resources of our operations, delayed receipts or increased costs may cause going concern issues.issues, particularly in light of our limited available cash.
We expect to finance operations from progress billings from ongoing projects and through non-interest bearing loans from the Company’s directors. We estimate that our cash and cash equivalents and projected cash receipts from operations are sufficient to fund operations for the next sixnine months. However, additional funds may be required given our continued losses from operations. Additional funding may come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from borrowings, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms. If we are successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our company. We have no current commitments for additional financing.
The Company has incurred losses since its inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,464,309$1,893,532 as of October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These risk factors include, but are not limited to:
37our ability to raise additional funding;
the results of our proposed operations.
40
Going Concern Consideration
Our operations and financial results are subject to numerous various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of 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 October 31, 2016,April 30, 2017, July 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Billings in Excess of Costs
Billings in excess of costs is comprised of cash collected from customers and billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.
39
Revenue Recognition
Sales of power generation system in conjunction of system installation are recognized under accounting for construction-type contracts, based on the nature of the contract using the
Completed-Contract Method
The reason for selecting completed-contract method is (a) The Company’s contract is duration is less than one year and financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of completion method. (b) Reasonably dependable estimate cannot be made due to nature of contracts. Accordingly, revenue is recognized upon the completion of the construction, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss has transferred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on these contracts when that loss is probable.
Percentage-of Completion Method
For contracts with long duration and it is practical to make reasonable estimate, percentage-of completion method is used. Revenue is recognized based on the percentage of total income. The percentage is based on incurred costs to date bearing to estimate total cost after giving effect to estimates of cost to complete based on most recent information. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on these contracts when that loss is probable.
Warranty and Returns
The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company's work on a project. At the time a sale is recognized, we record estimated future warranty costs. Such estimated costs for warranties are included in the individual project cost estimates for purposes of accounting for long-term contracts. The warranty cost is estimated based on our experience with the type of work and any known risks relative to the project and was not material during the periods ended October 31, 2016,April 30, 2017, July 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
No right of return exists on sales of equipment. Replacement part returns are estimable and accrued at the time a sale is recognized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (NRV), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. The new ASU replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impacts on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new consolidation standard changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed, including early adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity may apply a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
4042
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments contained in this ASU apply to all companies and not-for-profit organizations. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle the ASU includes provisions within a five step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when (or as) an entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The standard provides for either full retrospective adoption or a modified retrospective adoption by which it is applied only to the most current period presented. This ASU is effective January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
The Company believes that there were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant.
The payment of dividends is contingent on the ability of our PRC based operating subsidiary to obtain approval to send monies out of the PRC. The PRC's national currency, the Yuan or renminbi, is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends.

- | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; | |
- | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
4345

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Background and Compensation Philosophy
Our Compensation Committee consists of Zhou Jian. The Compensation Committee does not have anyJian, Marco Wai Ku Hon, Yizhao Zhang and Jiehua Zhang. Marco Wai Ku Hon, Yizhao Zhang, Jiehua Zhang are independent directors as our Board of Directors has no independent directors. Mr. Zhou is our largest shareholder.
The Compensation Committee determines the compensation to be paid to our executive officers and the compensation payable to the key employees of Sanhe, our operating subsidiary based on our financial and operating performance and prospects. Each of the named officers will be measured by a series of performance criteria by the Board of Directors, or the compensation committee, on a yearly basis. Such criteria will be set forth based on certain objective parameters such as job characteristics, required professionalism, management skills, interpersonal skills, related experience, personal performance and overall corporate performance.
Our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee have not adopted or established a formal policy or procedure for determining the amount of compensation paid to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee makes an independent evaluation of appropriate compensation to key employees, with input from management. The Compensation Committee has oversight of executive compensation plans, policies and programs.

The Board of Directors' goal in determining compensation levels is to adequately reward the efforts and achievements of executive officers for the management of the Company.

Equity Incentives
In June 2017, the Board of Directors adopted a stock incentive plan named Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co. Ltd. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
The Plan is intended to benefit the stockholders of the Company by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals who can and do contribute to the longer-term financial success of the Company. Further, the recipients of stock-based awards under the Plan should identify their success with that of the company's shareholders and therefore will be encouraged to increase their proprietary interest in the Company. The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) administers the Plan.
The Plan provides for the granting of up to 30,000,000 restricted shares, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), stock award and stock unit awards, performance shares and other cash or share-based awards. In the event of any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure that affects our common stock, an adjustment may be made to the (a) maximum number of shares available for grants under the plan and/or kind of shares that may be delivered under the plan, (b) the individual award limits under the plan and (c) number, kind and/or price of shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the plan, by the Committee or the Board of Directors, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. Shares of stock covered by an award under the plan that is cancelled, expired, forfeited or settled in cash will again be available for issuance in connection with future grants of awards under the Plan.
The Committee or Board of Directors has broad authority to administer the plan, including the authority to determine when and to whom awards will be made, determine the type and size of awards, determine the terms and conditions of awards, construe and interpret the plan and award agreements, establish rates and resolutions for the plan's administration, and amend outstanding awards. Generally, the plan is open to directors, employees and consultants who are selected by the Committee or Board of Directors.
The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time by our Board of Directors, provided that suspension or termination shall not of itself impair any outstanding award granted under the plan or the applicable participant's rights regarding such award.
As of September 12, 2017, we had not made any awards under the Plan. In the future, we may adopt and establish morean equity incentive plansplan pursuant to which awards may be granted if our Compensation Committee determines that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to do so.
Long Term Incentive Plans and Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance. No individual grants or agreements regarding future payouts under non-stock price-based plans have been made to any executive officer or any director or any employee or consultant since our inception; accordingly, no future payouts under non-stock price-based plans or agreements have been granted or entered into or exercised by any of the officers or directors or employees or consultants since we were founded.
Option Grants in the Last Fiscal Year
We did not grant any options or stock appreciation rights to our named executive officers or directors in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016.2017.
Retirement Benefits
Our executive officers are not presently entitled to company-sponsored retirement benefits.
Perquisites
We have not provided our executive officers with any material perquisites and other personal benefits and, therefore, we do not view perquisites as a significant or necessary element of our executive’s compensation.

The selling security holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

• | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
• | privately negotiated transactions; |

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holder may arrange for other broker dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.

The selling security holder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Because the selling security holder may be deemed to be an "underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, any selling security holder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd and its Subsidiaries
We were engaged to audit Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
The management of Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd. is unable to provide a complete set of documentation of the company’s internal control designs and implementation. This scope limitation prevented us from performing sufficient audit procedures to form an opinion on management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Since the management of the Company was not able to provide a complete set of documentation of the company’s internal control policies and procedures designed for implementation and we were unable to apply other procedures to obtain sufficient evidence about the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting, the scope of our work was not sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not express, an opinion on Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd and its Subsidiaries, and our report dated October 24, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the year in the year period ended July 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Xiangtian (USA) Air Power Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 2, 2008 as Goa Sweet Tours Ltd.

On July 25, 2014, Luck Sky (Shen Zhen) Aerodynamic Electricity Limited (“Luck Sky Shen Zhen”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the People Republic of China (“PRC”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary; Sanhe City Lucksky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the PRC; and Mr. Zhou Jian and Mr. Zhou Deng Rong, the owners of 97% and 3%, respectively, of Sanhe; entered into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) pursuant to which Sanhe became Luck Sky Shen Zhen’s contractually controlled affiliate. The purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to provide Luck Sky Shen Zhen (our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary) with all of the management, control and net profits of Sanhe.
Simultaneously, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Zhou Jian and Zhou Deng Rong, the owners of 97% and 3%, respectively, of Sanhe in consideration for the execution of the VIE Agreements and the acquisition of Sanhe. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Zhou Jian and Zhou Deng Rong 264,850,740 and 8,191,260 shares, respectively, of our common stock, representing 51.4% of the our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principle of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, including the wholly-foreign owned enterprise ("WOFE"), and VIEs for which the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate its VIE in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.
The VIE agreement was not consummated until July 25, 2014, however, the purpose and design of the establishment of VIE, Sanhe, was to be consolidated under the Company through common control. ASC 810-10-25-38F states that a reporting entity’s involvement in the design of a VIE may indicate that the reporting entity had the opportunity and the incentive to establish arrangements that result in the reporting entity being the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As both the Company and the acquired VIE, Sanhe, are under the common control of Zhou Dengrong and Zhou Jian immediately before and after the acquisition, this transaction was accounted for as a merger under common control, using merger accounting as if the merger had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and no gain or loss was recognized. All the assets and liabilities of the VIE, Sanhe, are recorded at carrying value. Hence, Sanhe was consolidated under the Company since its inception due to the purpose and design of its establishment.
F-10
Details of the typical VIE structure of the Company's significant VIEs, primarily domestic companies associated with the operations of Sanhe, are set forth below:
• | Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, entered between Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe, pursuant to which Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe have agreed to enter into a series of VIE agreements and to cooperate in all prospective of Sanhe’s business operation and management. | |
• | Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service Agreement, entered between Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe, pursuant to which Luck Sky Shen Zhen has agreed to provide Sanhe with complete business support and technical support and related management, training and consulting services. In consideration for such services, Luck Sky Shen Zhen is entitled to receive an amount equal to 100% of Sanhe’s net income. | |
• | Exclusive Option Agreement, entered among Luck Sky HK, Luck Sky Shen Zhen, Zhou Deng Rong, Zhou Jian and Sanhe, pursuant to which Zhou Deng Rong and Zhou Jian, the owners of Sanhe, have granted to Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Luck Sky HK the irrevocable right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Sanhe. | |
• | Equity Pledge Agreement, entered among Luck Sky Shen Zhen, Zhou Deng Rong, Zhou Jian, and Sanhe, pursuant to which Zhou Deng Rong and Zhou Jian, the owners of Sanhe, have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in Sanhe to Luck Sky Shen Zhen to guarantee Sanhe’s performance of its obligations under all the other VIE Agreements. | |
• | Know-How Sub-License Agreement, entered between Luck Sky Shen Zhen and Sanhe, pursuant to which Luck Sky Shen Zhen has granted Sanhe an exclusive right to use and develop a series of aerodynamics related patents and technologies with respect to electrical generation for commercial and residential structures, not including automobile and wind towers. Luck Sky Shen Zhen possesses the rights licensed under this agreement through two license agreements dated July 25, 2014 with Zhou Deng Rong, Zhou Jian and Lucksky Group, the owners of the aforesaid patents and technologies. For the sublicense contemplated under this Agreement, Sanhe will pay Luck Sky Shen Zhen an annual royalty fee of five percent of revenue; and | |
• | Power of Attorney. Pursuant to a power of attorney, each of the Sanhe stockholders agreed to irrevocably entrust Luck Sky Shen Zhen with his stockholder voting rights and other stockholder rights for representing him to exercise such rights at the stockholders’ meeting of Sanhe in accordance with applicable laws and its Article of Association, including, but not limited to, the right to sell or transfer all or any of his equity interest in Sanhe, and appoint and vote for the directors and Chairman of Sanhe as the authorized representative of the Sanhe stockholders. The term of each proxy and voting agreement is as long as each of the Sanhe stockholders is a shareholder of Sanhe and is binding on any transferee. |
Under the contractual arrangements with the VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the VIEs and can have assets transferred out of the VIE under its control.
Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves. As all consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limited liability companies under the PRC Company Law, creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of the consolidated VIE.
The Company’s total assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements represent substantially all of total assets and liabilities of the VIE because the other entities in the consolidation are non-operating holding entities with nominal assets and liabilities.
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIE, which is established on August 6, 2014, were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended July 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Financial Instrument
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, inventory, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of 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 July 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
F-12
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollected amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an allowance for bad debts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for bad debts and a credit to accounts receivable.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the weighted average basis. Construction costs incurred on contracts are included in inventories which consist of raw materials, accessory parts, and contracts work in progress.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating income (loss). Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation and amortization are 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 |
Machinery equipment | 5-10 years |
Computer and office equipment | 3 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |
Property under capital lease | 20 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for impairment of plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with the standard, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” codified with ASC 360, which requires the Group to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s (or asset group’s) fair value.
F-13
Revenue Recognition
Sales of power generation system in conjunction of system installation are recognized under accounting for construction-type contracts, based on the nature of the contract using the
Completed-Contract Method.
The reason for selecting completed-contract method is (a) The Company’s contract is duration is less than one year and financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of completion method. (b) Reasonably dependable estimate cannot be made due to nature of contracts. Accordingly, revenue is recognized upon the completion of the construction, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss has transferred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on these contracts when that loss is probable.
Percentage-of Completion Method
For contracts with long duration and it is practical to make reasonable estimate, percentage-of completion method is used. Revenue is recognized based on the percentage of total income. The percentage is based on incurred costs to date bearing to estimate total cost after giving effect to estimates of cost to complete based on most recent information. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on these contracts when that loss is probable.
For the year ended July 31, 2016, percentage-of completion method is used for one contract which was not completed as of July 31, 2016. The gross revenue recognized under percentage-of completion method and completed-contract method are $874,510 and $9,997,255, respectively for the year ended July 31, 2016. For the year ended July 31, 2015, completed-contract method was used for all contracts. The gross revenue recognized under percentage-of completion method and completed-contract method are $0 and $20,829,309, respectively for the year ended July 31, 2015. For the year 2014, there was no
Warranty and Returns
The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company's work on a project. At the time a sale is recognized, we record estimated future warranty costs. Such estimated costs for warranties are included in the individual project cost estimates for purposes of accounting for long-term contracts. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate.
No right of return exists on sales of equipment. Replacement part returns are estimable and accrued at the time a sale is recognized.
Value added taxes
The Company is subject to VAT at a rate of 17% on proceeds received from customers, and are entitled to a refund for VAT already paid or borne on the goods purchased by it that have generated the gross sales proceeds. The VAT balance is recorded in other payables on the balance sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
F-14
Under ASC 740, a 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 evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the period from July 8, 2013 (inception) to December 31, 2013. US GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.
Segment Information
The standard, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” codified with ASC 280, requires certain financial and supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for each reportable segment of an enterprise. The Company believes that it operates in one business segment (research, development, production, marketing and sales) and in one geographical segment (China), as all of the Company’s current operations are carried out in China.
Comprehensive Loss
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, and establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as substantially all of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ operations use this denomination. The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. 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 US$ at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 6.6371, 6.2097 and 6.2164 as of July 31, 2016, July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively; stockholder’s 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 6.4798, 6.1884 and 6.1025 for the year ended July 31, 2016, July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section of the 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 US$ at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.7588, 7.7514 and 7.7497 as of July 31, 2016, July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively; stockholder’s 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 7.7595, 7.7536 and 7.7545 for the year ended July 31, 2016, July 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheets.
F-15
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings 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. Earnings per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potential dilutive securities at July 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014.
Related Parties
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (NRV), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. The new ASU replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impacts on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new consolidation standard changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed, including early adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity may apply a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments contained in this ASU apply to all companies and not-for-profit organizations. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
F-16
The Company believes that there were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Luck Sky (Hong Kong) Shares Limited (“HK Shares”)
On September 15, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire HK Shares, a Hong Kong corporation, for 250,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Prior to the acquisition, HK Shares was majority owned (approximately 41%) by Mr. Zhou Deng Hua who is the brother of the former CEO of the Company and a director of the Company. On September 23, 2013, the Company issued 250,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of HK Shares in exchange for 250,000,000 shares of HK Shares subscribed at $0.001 per share for a total amount of $250,000. At the completion of the acquisition, HK Shares was merged into the Company.
HK Shares was formed in September 24, 2013 and issued 250,000,000 shares at $0.001 to 24 shareholders for a total of $250,000. The shares subscribed were paid up on October 23, 2015. On the date of the merger acquisition HK Shares had no operations other than the subscription receivable; and accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as an acquisition from related party.
The Company valued the 250,000,000 shares of common stock issued at $250,000 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, 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.
Acquisition of Luck Sky (Hong Kong) Aerodynamic Electricity Limited (“Luck SkyHK”)
In order to comply with the PRC laws, rules and regulations that restrict foreign ownership of PRC companies, the management of the Company has made the following arrangement to go public in the United States of America (the “Going Public Arrangement”). On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into the Stock Purchase.
Agreement with Zhou Jian, the sole shareholder of Luck Sky HK, a Hong Kong corporation, pursuant to which it purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Luck Sky HK. The Company paid Zhou Jian a purchase price in the amount of HKD $10,000.00 (approximately USD$1,289.98) in cash which is equal to amount of its registered capital. Zhou Jian, a director of the Company, is also the son of the former CEO of the Company, and a nephew of Mr. Zhou Deng Hua (a director and shareholder of the Company), as a result, the acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition from an entity under common control and the asset was recorded at Luck Sky HK’s historical cost.
Luck Sky HK and Luck Sky Shen Zhen, a wholly owned subsidiary of Luck Sky HK, had no operating business, no liabilities and nominal assets as of the date of the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, Luck Sky HK became our wholly owned subsidiary and Luck Sky Shen Zhen became our indirect subsidiary through Luck Sky HK.
Acquisition of Sanhe City Lucksky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe”)
As part of the Going Public Arrangement, on July 25, 2014, Luck Sky Shen Zhen, the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Sanhe City Lucksky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the PRC; Mr. Zhou Jian and Mr. Zhou Deng Rong, the owners of 97% and 3%, respectively, of Sanhe; entered into a series of agreements known as VIE Agreements pursuant to which Sanhe became Luck Sky Shen Zhen’s affiliate through contractual control. The purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to provide Luck Sky Shen Zhen with all of the management, control and net profits of Sanhe.
F-17
Simultaneously, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Zhou Jian and Zhou Deng Rong, the owners of 97% and 3%, respectively, of Sanhe, in consideration for the execution of the VIE Agreements and the acquisition of Sanhe. Pursuant to such common stock purchase agreement, the Company issued Zhou Jian and Zhou Deng Rong 264,850,740 and 8,191,260 shares, respectively, of our common stock, representing a total of 46.2% of the our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Since inception, Sanhe rented an office from Sanhe Dong Yi Glass Machine Company Limited (“Sanhe Dong Yi”), a Company owned by Zhou Deng Rong, our former general manager and former majority shareholder of the Company. The rental period was from June 15, 2013 to June 14, 2014, and the full rent amount of $3,965 (RMB 12,000) was paid in advance. The Company also paid $1,487 (RMB 9,000) to Sanhe Dong Yi to purchase several articles of furniture and computer equipment for its operation purpose in September 2014.
On July 25, 2014, Luck Sky Shen Zhen obtained an exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license from Zhou Deng Rong and Zhou Jian (his son) and a second exclusive, worldwide royalty free license from LuckSky Group to an aggregate of 48 Chinese patents and related know how and trade secrets, including the technology underlying 13 patent applications (the “Technology”). The Technology represents all of the patents, patent applications and related know how and trade secrets owned by the licensors with respect to PV installations and the air energy storage power generation technology as applied to commercial and residential buildings, but not wind towers. On July 25, 2014, Luck Sky Shen Zhen granted Sanhe an exclusive sublicense with respect to the use of the Technology for commercial and residential buildings, but not for other uses, including wind towers, vehicles and trains, which sublicense also provides for a royalty payment to Luck Sky Shen Zhen equal of five percent of Sanhe’s revenues.
Sanhe leases its principal office, factory and dormitory from LuckSky Group in Sanhe City, Hebei Province. LuckSky Group is owned by Zhou Deng Rong, our former CEO and Zhou Jian, our General Manager and Chairman of the Board. The space in the office, factory and dormitory being leased are 1296, 5160 and 1200 square meters, respectively. The office and factory space are leased for a rent of $105,053 (RMB 697,248) per year and the dormitory is leased for a rent of $19,527 (RMB 129,600) per year. The leases expire in April 30, 2024 and are subject to renewal with a prior two-month written notice. LuckSky Group is in the process of obtaining the land use approval and ownership certificate of the leased building.
On April 28, 2012, Zhou Jian obtained the right of usage of 44.3 acres agricultural land where our principal office, factory and dormitory are located for 18 years and 8 months, starting May 1, 2012. The annual price paid for such usage rights is $5,200 (RMB 34,510). On May 1, 2012, Zhou Jian signed a commitment letter that allowed Xiangtian Kelitai, Yanjiao Branch, a division of LuckSky Group to use this agricultural land. LuckSky Group constructed the buildings on such agricultural land. In the event we are unable to use our principal factory and office space as a result of this usage issue, the lease provides that LuckSky Group will use every effort to complete and perfect the ownership and usage rights, or provide Sanhe with equivalent space.
On July 25, 2014, prior to the Acquisition, Sanhe and LuckSky Shen Zhen and Sanhe’s shareholders entered into a series of VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Sanhe became LuckSky Shen Zhen’s contractually controlled affiliate. The VIE Agreements include the Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, the Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Services Agreement, the Exclusive Option Agreement, the Equity Pledge Agreement, the Know-How Sub-License Agreement and the Power-of-Attorney. The purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to provide LuckSky Shen Zhen (the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary) with all of the management and control of Sanhe and all of its net income. While LuckSky Shen Zhen does not actually own at present any of the equity and shares in Sanhe, the purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to instill in LuckSky Shen Zhen total management and voting control of Sanhe for all material purposes. The use of VIE agreements is a common structure used to acquire PRC corporations, particularly in certain industries in which foreign investment is restricted or forbidden by the PRC government.

NOTE 9. STATUTORY RESERVE
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.
NOTE 10 - CAPITAL STOCK AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Common Stock
The total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 1,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.
During the period ended July 31, 2009, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $25,000 to the Company’s sole director and officer. During the year ended July 31, 2010, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $30,000.
On September 23, 2013, the Company issued 250,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of HK shares, in exchange of 250,000,000 shares of HK shares.
On September 23, 2013, the Company issued a total of 67,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at $0.001 per share, such that 60,000,000 shares were issued to Mr. Roy Thomas Phillips, who was then a consultant to the Company and later served as the acting CFO of the Company beginning July 29, 2014, and 7,000,000 shares were issued to two other non-related parties. 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. On July 24, 2015, 7,000,000 shares issued to two other non-related parties were cancelled.
On July 25, 2014, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement in connection with the acquisition of Sanhe with Zhou Jian and Zhou Deng Rong, the owners of 97% and 3%, respectively, of Sanhe.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
United States
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising the net deferred tax amount is at July 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 as follows:

As of July 31, 2016, for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes, the Company has approximately $1,403,259 of unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) available for carry forward to future years. The benefit from the carry forward of such NOLs will begin expiring during the year ended July 31, 2029. Because United States tax laws limit the time during which NOL carry forwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOLs for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carry forwards could be subject to limitations due to material ownership changes that could occur in the Company as it continues to raise additional capital. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOLs for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain.

F-24
Credit risk
Cash deposits with banks are held in financial institutions in China, which are not federally insured deposit protection. Accordingly, the Company has a concentration of credit risk related to these uninsured bank deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in this area.
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 CFO 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 issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to the Company’s stockholders which effects the earnings (loss) per share amount of the Company. 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 year ended July 31, 2016, the dilutive effect of not canceling the 60,000,000 shares is incorporated in the consolidated financial statements as the Company recorded such shares as issued and outstanding. The loss per share remained $0.00 with the dilutive effect of not canceling such shares. If the shares are not voluntarily returned for cancellation, the Company will need to commence litigation in Delaware to obtain a judgment to cancel the shares for lack of consideration. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the cost such litigation if it takes place.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2016, as not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements are presented. The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computations as the audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2016.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2016, as not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements are presented. The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computations as the audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2016.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income or losses.
Principle of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE for which it is deemed the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-31
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate its VIE in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.
The VIE agreement was not consummated until July 25, 2014, however, the purpose and design of the establishment of VIE, Sanhe, was to consolidate common control under the Company. ASC 810-10-25-38F states that a reporting entity’s involvement in the design of a VIE may indicate that the reporting entity had the opportunity and the incentive to establish arrangements that result in the reporting entity being the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As both the Company and the acquired VIE, Sanhe, are under the common control of Zhou Dengrong and Zhou Jian immediately before and after the acquisition, this transaction was accounted for as a merger under common control, using merger accounting as if the merger had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and no gain or loss was recognized. All the assets and liabilities of the VIE, Sanhe, are recorded at carrying value. Hence, Sanhe was consolidated under the Company since its inception due to the purpose and design of its establishment.
F-31
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIE, which is established on August 6, 2014, were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 and for the threenine months ended October 31,April 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively:

Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of 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.
F-32
[ ] Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology includes quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
[ ] Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Advances to suppliers
Advances to suppliers consist of the prepayment for inventories, including PV panels, storage tanks and other accessory parts.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the weighted average basis. Construction costs incurred on contracts are included in inventories which consist of raw materials, accessory parts, and contracts work in progress.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating income (loss). Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation and amortization are 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 |
Machinery equipment | 5-10 years |
Computer and office equipment | 3 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |
Property under capital lease | 20 years |
Revenue Recognition
Sales of power generation system in conjunction of system installation are recognized under accounting for construction-type contracts, based on the nature of the contract using the
Completed-Contract Method.
The reason for selecting completed-contract method is (a) The Company’s contract is duration is less than one year and financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of completion method. (b) Reasonably dependable estimate cannot be made due to nature of contracts.
F-33
Accordingly, revenue is recognized upon the completion of the construction, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss has transferred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on these contracts when that loss is probable.
Percentage-of Completion Method
For contracts with long duration and it is practical to make reasonable estimate, percentage-of completion method is used. Revenue is recognized based on the percentage of total income. The percentage is based on incurred costs to date bearing to estimate total cost after giving effect to estimates of cost to complete based on most recent information. We provide for any loss that we expect to incur on these contracts when that loss is probable.
Warranty and Returns
The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company's work on a project. At the time a sale is recognized, we record estimated future warranty costs. Such estimated costs for warranties are included in the individual project cost estimates for purposes of accounting for long-term contracts. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate.
F-33
No right of return exists on sales of equipment. Replacement part returns are estimable and accrued at the time a sale is recognized.
Value added taxes
The Company is subject to VAT at a rate of 17% on proceeds received from customers, and are entitled to a refund for VAT already paid or borne on the goods purchased by it that have generated the gross sales proceeds. The VAT balance is recorded in other payables on the balance sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
Under ASC 740, a 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 evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the period from July 8, 2013 (inception) to December 31, 2013. US GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.

Comprehensive Loss
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, and establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as substantially all of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ operations use this denomination. The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. 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.
F-34
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of subsidiaries in PRC, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in US$ at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 6.77356.8900 and 6.6371 as of October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, respectively; stockholder’s 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 6.68056.8141 and 6.35216.4407 for the threenine months ended October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2015.April 30, 2016. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheets.
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of subsidiaries in Hong Kong, PRC, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in US$ at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.75497.7779 and 7.7588 as of October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, respectively; stockholder’s 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 7.75647.7599 and 7.75107.7591 the threenine months ended October 31,April 30, 2017 and April 30, 2016, and October 31, 2015, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheets.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings 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. Earnings per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potential dilutive securities at October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 or October 31, 2015.April 30, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2018 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 (full retrospective method); or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09 (modified retrospective method). We are currently assessing the impact to our consolidated financial statements, and have not yet selected a transition approach.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments contained in this ASU apply to all companies and not-for-profit organizations. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (NRV), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. The new ASU replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The amendments are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this ASU’s impacts on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In August 2014,2016, the Financial Accounting Standards BoardFASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice described above. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is still evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation2016-18, Statement of Financial Statements— Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)Cash Flows (Topic 230): “Restricted Cash”(“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires 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. This standardupdate is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.

The amendments are effective for the annual period endingfiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016,2017 and for annualearly adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and interim periods thereafter.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,464,309$1,893,532 as of October 31, 2016April 30, 2017 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
F-35F-36
The Company expects to finance operations primarily through cash flow from revenue and capital contributions from principal shareholders. In the event that we require additional funding to finance the growth of the Company’s current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives, our principal shareholders have indicated the intent and ability to provide additional equity financing.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to meet obligations as they become due and to obtain additional equity or alternative financing required to fund operations until sufficient sources of recurring revenues can be generated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans described above or in attracting equity or alternative financing on acceptable terms, or if at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 910 - STATUTORY RESERVE
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.

NOTE 1011 - CAPITAL STOCK AND EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

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 isthese shares are s thought to be of minimal value into the Company at the time of issuance, therefore the par value is thought to match the assumed market pricebook value of the Company’s common stock which is at $0.001 per share. On July 24, 2015, 7,000,000 shares issued to two other non-related parties were cancelled.

As of October 31, 2016,April 30, 2017, for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes, the Company has approximately $956,323$1,110,812 of unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) available for carry forward to future years. The benefit from the carry forward of such NOLs will begin expiring during the year ended July 31, 2029. Because United States tax laws limit the time during which NOL carry forwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOLs for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOL carry forwards could be subject to limitations due to material ownership changes that could occur in the Company as it continues to raise additional capital. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOLs for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain.

Credit risk
Cash deposits with banks are held in financial institutions in China, which are not federally insured deposit protection. Accordingly, the Company has a concentration of credit risk related to these uninsured bank deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in this area.
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 CFO 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 issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to the Company’s stockholders which effects the earnings (loss) per share amount of the Company. 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 canceled. For the year ended July 31, 2015, the dilutive effect of not canceling the 60,000,000 shares is incorporated in the consolidated financial statements as the Company recorded such shares as issued and outstanding. The loss per share remained $0.00 with the dilutive effect of not canceling such shares. If the shares are not voluntarily returned for cancellation, the Company will need to commence litigation in Delaware to obtain a judgment to cancel the shares for lack of consideration. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the cost such litigation if it takes place.
