| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Text Block] | 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. 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. 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 April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 and for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, 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. [ ] 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 April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016.
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.
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

Computer and office equipment

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. 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.
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.
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
6.8900
and
6.6371
as of April 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
6.8141
and
6.4407
for the nine months ended April 30, 2017 and 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
7.7779
and
7.7588
as of April 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
7.7599
and
7.7591
the nine months ended April 30, 2017 and April 30, 2016, 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 April 30, 2017 or 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 2016, the FASB 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. 2016-18, Statement of 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 update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and removal of the changes in restricted cash activity, which are currently recognized in Other financing activities, on the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Furthermore, an additional reconciliation will be required to reconcile Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to sum to the total shown in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. 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 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. 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.
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:

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.
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 contractswith 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.
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.
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
and
6.2097
as of July 31, 2016 and 2015, 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
and
6.1884
for the years ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, 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
and
7.7514
as of July 31, 2016 and 2015, 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
and
7.7536
for the years ended July 31, 2016 and 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 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 and 2015.
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. 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. |
