| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements of 2016 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries based in the PRC, which include America Pine Beijing, Arki Beijing, Arki Fuxin, 50.82% majority ownership in Shanghai Zhonghui, and 51% majority ownership in Arki Tianjin. As a result of contractual arrangements with Arki Network Service, the Company consolidates Arki Network Service in accordance with SEC Regulation SX-3A-02 and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires our 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s functional currency is the local currency in the PRC, the Chinese Yuan (RMB). The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the cumulative translation adjustment of $11,155 and $(44,436), respectively, was classified as accumulated of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity (deficit) section of the consolidated balance sheets. The foreign currency translation adjusted to accumulated other comprehensive income was $3,199 and $648,130 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively, and $(22,144) and $ 315,956 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US $ using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of income and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in investors’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. June 30, December 31, 2016 2015 Balance sheet
items, except for the equity accounts 6.6312 6.4936 Items in the statements of income and comprehensive loss and statement of cash flow 6.5303 6.2284 REVENUE RECOGNITION We recognize revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. E-commerce revenue recognition We evaluate whether it is appropriate to record the net amount of sales earned as commissions. We are not the primary obligor nor are we subject to inventory risk as the agreements with our suppliers specify that they have the responsibility to provide the product or service to the customer. Also, the amounts we earn from our vendors/suppliers is based on a fixed percentage and bound contractually. Additionally, the Company does not have any obligation to resolve disputes between the vendors and the customers that purchase the products on our website. Any disputes involving damaged, non-functional, product returns, and/or warranty defects are resolved between the customer and the vendor. The Company has no obligation for right of return and/or warranty for any of the sales completed using its website. Since we are not primarily obligated and amounts earned are determined using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two, we record our revenues as commissions earned on a net basis. Our sales are net of promotional discounts and rebates and are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Revenues are recorded net of sales and consumption taxes. We periodically provide incentive offers to our customers to encourage purchases. Such offers include current discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current purchases, inducement offers, such as daily sweepstakes reward opportunities that is based on volume of purchases, and other similar offers. Current discount offers and inducement offers are presented as a net amount in “Net revenues.” We record deferred revenue when cash is received in advance of the performance of services or delivery of goods. Deferred revenue is also recorded to account for the seven day grace period offered to customers for potential product disputes, if any. Deferred revenue was both $Nil as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Servicing fee income Borrowers typically pay us a servicing fee on each payment received. The service fees compensate us for the costs we incur in servicing the related loan, including managing funding from investors, payments to investors and maintaining borrower’ account portfolios. We record servicing fees paid by borrower as a component of operating revenue when received. Deferred revenue was $ Nil as of June 30, 2016 and $3,720,050 as of December 31, 2015. Interest income on loans Interest on loan receivables is accrued monthly in accordance with their contractual terms and recorded in accrued interest receivable. The Company does not charge prepayment penalty from customers. REWARD PROGRAMS Reward Programs are limited to customers residing in China. Customers may earn reward points from the purchase of merchandise and services from the Company. Points are earned based on the amount and types of merchandise and services purchased. Customers residing in China may redeem the reward points for drawings into our daily “Lucky Drawing” sweepstakes for chances to win cash prizes or used for other promotion programs conducted by vendors. In addition, customers may attain a tiered membership status based on the value of merchandise and services purchased over the past twelve months. Membership status entitles the holder to certain discounts on future purchases of selected items on our website. We accrue for the estimated cost of redeeming the benefits at the time the benefits are earned by the customer. There were no benefit expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST Non-controlling interests in our subsidiary is recorded as a component of our equity, separate from the parent’s equity. Purchase or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income, requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For the years presented, the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). INCOME TAXES Provisions for federal, state, and non-U.S. income taxes are calculated on reported earnings before income taxes based on current tax law and also include, in the current period, the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently receivable or payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and evaluating tax positions. The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We record a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured for financial statement purposes and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax return. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Tax-related interest and penalties are classified as a component of income tax expense. We have implemented certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of January 1, 2007, and have analyzed filing positions in each of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the PRC as our “major” tax jurisdiction. Generally, we remain subject to PRC examination of our income tax returns annually. We believe that our income tax
filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate based on rates established within the PRC and, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. Income taxes payable as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $556,943 and $570,425, respectively. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing our net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants. Options and warrants are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is not anti-dilutive. The Company had no dilutive securities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, basic and diluted income (loss) per share was the same due to the Company’s loss position. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS We consider all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in bank checking accounts, money market funds and domestic Chinese bank certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had no cash equivalents. LOAN RECEIVABLE Loan receivable primarily represents the principle of loan lent to the borrowers. Management regularly reviews aging of loan receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowance when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Loan receivables considered uncollectible are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss history, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The Company calculates the provision amount as below: 1. General Reserve — is based on total loan receivable balance and to be used to cover unidentified probable loan loss. The General Reserve is required to be no less than 1% of total loan receivable balance. 2. Special Reserve — is fund set aside covering losses due to risks related to a particular country, region, industry, borrower or type of loans. The reserve rate could be decided based on management estimate of loan collectability. INTEREST RECEIVABLE Interest receivable represents the amount of interest that has been earned as of the balance sheet date, but which has not yet been received in cash. Management regularly reviews aging of interest receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowance when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Interest receivable considered uncollectible is written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. DEFERRED COST Deferred cost represents the deferred service charge paid or payable to a related party which is calculated based on the service fee the Company received. LOANS FROM INDIVIDUALS Loans from individuals primarily represent the principle of lending funds received from the individuals through the Company’s internet platform. The interest rates of such loans ranged from 11% to 17.5% per annum with a term lasting from 3 months to 12 months. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists of computer equipment, office equipment and furniture and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally three years or less). Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and expenditures for major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate their net book value may not be recoverable. When these events occur, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their
respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company’s management currently believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue. Either of these could result in the future impairment of long-lived assets. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who has been identified as the executive chairman of the board of directors and the chief executive officer, reviews the individual results of the e-commerce and distribution businesses when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and hence, the Company has two reportable segments before the disposition of the Company’s distribution business. The Company’s operating businesses are organized and based on the nature of markets and customers. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Company’s revenues are derived from within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advance to suppliers, prepaid expenses, other receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, other payables, related party payables, convertible note, short term debt and derivative liabilities. These financial instruments are measured at their respective fair values. For fair value measurement, US GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value: Level 1 observable inputs that reflect quoted prices
(unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. Fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advance to suppliers, prepaid expenses, other receivables, other assets, account payable, accrued liabilities, other payables, convertible note and short term debt approximates their fair value due to their short-term maturities. The Company’s Level 3 valuation relates to derivative liabilities measured using management's estimates of fair value as well as other significant inputs, such as volatility and risk free interest rate, which may be unobservable. See Note 15. The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of related party payables because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION We apply ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees to account for our service providers’ share-based payments. We gave Common stock of to service providers to retain their assistance in becoming a U.S. public company, assistance with public company regulations, investors’ communications and public relations with broker-dealers, market makers and other investment professionals. The cost of the equity based payments is recognized ratably over the service period. We have elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all equity awards granted with graded vesting based on service conditions. There were no Share-based compensation expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments, such as ratchet provisions or conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments. Once derivative liabilities are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as a change in fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. DEBT DISCOUNT The Company records debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. Management believes the credit risk on bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies, or state-owned banks in China. Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC and the United States of America. Balances at financial institutions or state owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. Non-performance by these institutions could expose the Company to losses for amounts in excess of insured balances. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our bank balances with the banks in U.S. exceeded the insured amount by $8,167 and $119,569, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our bank balances with the Banks in the PRC amounted to $1,941,615 and $2,619,576, respectively, which are uninsured and subject to credit risk. We have not experienced non-performance by these institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, loan receivable from borrowers and the related accrued interest receivable. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has one significant borrower, which accounted for 87% of total loan receivable balance. The aforementioned borrower paid service fee and interest regularly according to the contract during the reporting period, and the Company believed that the default risk from this borrower is low in the foreseeable future. CURRENCY CONVERTIBILITY RISK We transact all of our business in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply that the RMB may be readily convertible into U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the PBOC or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. Additionally, the value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE
RISK From July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the RMB appreciation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. BUSINESS RISK Foreign ownership of Internet-based businesses is subject to significant restrictions under current PRC laws and regulations. Foreign investors are not allowed to own more than a 50% equity interest in any entity with an Internet content distribution business. Currently, the Company conducts its operations in China through a series of contractual arrangements entered into among Arki (Beijing) E-Commerce Technology Corp., America Arki (Fuxin) Network Management Co. Ltd. and America Arki Network Service Beijing Co., Ltd. The relevant regulatory authorities may find the current ownership structure, contractual arrangements and businesses to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations. If so, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations. LITIGATION From time to time, we may become involved in disputes, litigation and other legal actions. We estimate the range of liability related to any pending litigation where the amount and range of loss can be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably
estimated. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities including such person’s immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. |
