SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE - 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. l Use of estimates In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. l Basis of consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of NFEC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation. l Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. l Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 90 90 l Retention receivable Retention receivable is the amount withheld by a customer based upon 5 10 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company quarterly reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs. Land use rights All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, the Company’s land purchase in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreement on a straight-line basis, which is 50 2059 Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $ 15,043 15,530 Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $ 30,017 31,531 Period ending June 30: 2018 $ 60,898 2019 60,898 2020 60,898 2021 60,898 2022 60,898 Thereafter 2,283,673 Total: $ 2,588,163 l Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Expected useful life Residual value Building 30 50 years 5% Plant and machinery 10 20 years 5% Furniture, fixture and equipment 5 8 years 5% Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $ 187,946 129,490 Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $ 375,146 404,805 l Impairment of long-lived assets In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “ Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets l Revenue recognition The Company offers a number of products and service to its customers, which are: (a) Sales of energy saving flow control equipment (b) Provision of energy project management and sub-contracting service In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” (a) Sale of products The Company derives a majority of its revenues from the sale of energy saving flow control equipment. Generally, these products are manufactured and configured to customer requirements. The Company typically produces and builds the energy saving flow control equipment for customers in a period from 1 6 The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of such finished products upon delivery to the customer, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17 (b) Service revenue Service revenue is primarily derived from energy-saving technical services or project management or sub-contracting services that are not an element of an arrangement for the sale of products. These services are generally billed on a time-cost plus basis, for a period of service time from 2 3 (c) Interest income Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable. l Comprehensive income ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, l Income taxes Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions. The Company conducts major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority. l Product warranty Under the terms of the contracts, the Company offers its customers with a free product warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customers, nature and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5% to 10% of contract value) is withheld by a customer from 12 24 l Net income per share The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” l Foreign currencies translation Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations. The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate 6.7769 6.6434 Average period RMB:US$1 exchange rate 6.8743 6.5354 l Related parties Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. l Segment reporting ASC Topic 280, “ Segment Reporting l Stock based compensation The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. l Fair value of financial instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and note payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts and retention receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of short-term bank borrowings and note payable approximate the carrying amount. The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ⋅ Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets; ⋅ Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and ⋅ Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. l Recent accounting pronouncements The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations. |
