As of December 31, 2018, the Company invested $77,664 in SAFS. The Company delisted from Merkur Market on 10 th September 2019, and subsequently by 31 st December 2019 SAFS was dissolved. SJAP formed Qinghai Zhong He Meat Products Co., Limited (“QZH”) , with SJAP would owning 100% equity interest. SJAP formed Qinghai Zhong He Meat Products Co., Limited (“QZH”), with SJAP would owning 100% equity interest. On October 25, 2015, both QZH and new stockholder, Qinghai Quanwang Investment Management Co., Ltd (“QQI”) contributed additional capital of $4,157,682 and $769,941, respectively. As a result, SJAP decreased its equity interest from 100% to 85% and QQI owned a 14% equity interest. In addition, according to investment agreement between QZH and QQI, (i) QQI only enjoy interest 6% annually on its capital contribution and did not enjoy profit distribution; (ii) investment period was 3 years only, and (iii) SJAP shared 100% on profit or loss after deduction 6% interest to QQI and enjoyed 100% voting rights of QZH’s board and stockholders meetings. SJAP disposed its 85% equity interest in QZH for RMB2 (equivalent to $0) for cash and completed on December 30, 2018. As a result, QZH was derecognized as variable interest entity of the company. On September 30th 2019, Mr. Solomon Lee resigned as the Chairman of SJAP resulting in categorization of SJAP as an Investor in Associate from a subsidiary status. Up until September 30th 2019, revenues have been generated from activities that the Company divided into five stand-alone business divisions or units: (1) Fishery development (in consulting and services), (2) Cattle & Beef (fully integrated activity), (3) Organic Fertilizer, (4) HU Plantation, and (5) Marketing and Trading. The fully integrated Cattle and Beef business was gradually being scaled down from year 2016 onward after the China Government relaxed its importation policies to allow many countries (i.e. Australia, NZ, Countries of South America and Canada etc.) to import beef into China affecting its domestic cattle rearing and beef industry. SJAP lost in excessive of US$30 million by year ended December 31st 2017 and by June 30th 2019, it reduced its large fully integrated activity into a small operation keeping and maintaining the production of fertilizer at less than 8,000 MT per year comparing to over 35,000 MT per year in 2015 and the production of concentrated live-stock feed at less than 3000 MT per year compares to over 15,000 MT in 2016 and fattening less than 1500 heads of live cattle at its own farm compares to 2015's around 25,000 heads of live cattle reared and fattening by 20 corporative farms that consisted over 2,000 individual farmers collectively. From 1st October 2019 onward, SJAP contracted the said small maintaining operation to its existing management. The Company currently maintains operations of its services in engineering consulting and specializing in the development of agriculture and aquaculture projects whereas operations of its HU Plantation, Asian "Yellow cattle" demonstration farm, and HSA's manufacturing of fertilizer were contracted out to their respective farm's management since 30th September 2019. The Company is now the investor in two Associates originated from subsidiary status namely SJAP and Tri-way; whereas Tri-way is in the aquaculture segment contracting out it's aqua-farms' operations (inclusive Aqua-farm 1, 2 and 3 & b) to respective farm's managements and JFD, it's fully owned subsidiary in China, has the sole right to market and distribute the said Aqua-farms' productions by buying from and selling all fishery productions of the said contracted aqua-farms. Operation of Aqua-farm 4 and 5 of the Zhongshen Mega Farm Development ceased since September 30th 2019 failing the Company's original ambition to become one of the biggest prawn producers in the world by year end of 2024. Therefore from 1st October 2019 onward, Revenues of the Company are generated from (i). Incomes derived from CA's Engineering Consulting and services, (ii). Incomes derived from the contractual agreements of JHST, MEIJI and HSA, (iii). CA's (or the Corporate) marketing and Trading business and (iv). Incomes generated from its investments in SJAP and Tri-way. The Company’s principal executive office is located at Room 3801, Block A, China Shine Plaza, No. 9 Lin He Xi Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, P.R.C., 510610. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are described in Note 2.2. |

Sales and marketing of fishery production & products. 2. 3 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“ US GAAP ”). 2. 4 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries CA, CS, CH, MEIJI, JHST, JHMC, HSA, APWAM, SAFS and its variable interest entity SJAP. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. SIAF, CA, CS, CH, MEIJI, JHST, JHMC, HSA, APWAM, SAFS, and SJAP are hereafter referred to as (the “Company”). 2. 5 BUSINESS COMBINATION The Company adopted the accounting pronouncements relating to business combination (primarily contained in ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations”), including assets acquired and liabilities assumed on arising from contingencies. These pronouncements established principles and requirement for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquisition as well as provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. In addition, these pronouncements eliminate the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and require an acquirer to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for acquired contingencies depending on their nature. The Company’s adoption of these pronouncements will have an impact on the manner in which it accounts for any future acquisitions. 2. 6 NON - CONTROLLING INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company adopted the accounting pronouncement on non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance is primarily contained in ASC Topic “Consolidation.” It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard has not had material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 2. 7 USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered thereby. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in certain areas. The following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: determinations of the useful lives of assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts, cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets, estimates of the realization of deferred tax assets and inventory reserves. 2. 8 REVENUE RECOGNITION In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaces numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry specific requirements, and provides a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This requires companies to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenues generated mainly from trading of frozen food and sales of agricultural products are recognized at a point in time. The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenues. Multiple-Element Arrangements To qualify as a separate unit of accounting under ASC 605‑25 “ Multiple Element Arrangements ”, the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis. The significant deliverables under the Company’s multiple-element arrangements are consulting and service under development contract, commission and management service. Revenues from the Company’s consulting and services under development contracts are performed under fixed-price contracts. Revenues under long-term contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Under the percentage-of-completion method, the Company estimates profit as the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract and recognize that profit over the contract term. The percentage of costs incurred determines the amount of revenue to be recognized. Payment terms are generally defined by the installation contract and as a result may not match the timing of the costs incurred by the Company and the related recognition of revenue. Such differences are recorded as either costs or estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts or billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The Company determines a customer’s credit worthiness at the time an order is accepted. Sudden and unexpected changes in a customer’s financial condition could put recoverability at risk. The percentage of completion method requires the ability to estimate several factors, including the ability of the customer to meet its obligations under the contract, including the payment of amounts when due. If the Company determines that collectability is not assured, the Company will defer revenue recognition and use methods of accounting for the contract such as the completed contract method until such time as the Company determines that collectability is reasonably assured or through the completion of the project. For fixed-price contracts, the Company uses the ratio of costs incurred to date on the contract to management’s estimate of the contract’s total costs, to determine the percentage of completion on each contract. This method is used as management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progression of these contracts. Contract costs include all direct material, subcontract and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tool repairs and depreciation. The Company accounts for maintenance and repair services under the guidance of ASC 605 as the services provided relate to construction work. Contract costs incurred to date and expected total contract costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability arising from contract penalty, change orders and final contract settlements may result in revisions to the estimated profit ability during the contract. These changes, which include contracts with estimated costs in excess of estimated revenues, are recognized as contract costs in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. At the point the Company anticipates a loss on a contract, the Company estimates the ultimate loss through completion and recognizes that loss in the period in which the loss was identified. The Company does not provide warranties to customers on a basis customary to the industry, however, customers can claim warranty directly from product manufacturers for defects in equipment or products. Historically, the Company has experienced no warranty claims. The Company provides various management services to its customers in the P.R.C. based on a negotiated fixed-price contract. The clients usually pay the fees when the services contract is signed and services are rendered. The Company recognizes these services-based revenues from contracts when (i) management services are rendered; (ii) clients recognize the completion of services; and (iii) collectability is reasonably assured. Fees received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue under current liabilities. 2. 9 COST OF GOODS SOLD AND COST OF SERVICES Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct purchase cost of merchandise goods, and related levies. Cost of services consist primarily direct cost and indirect cost incurred to date for development contracts and provision for anticipated losses for development contracts. 2. 10 SHIPPING AND HANDLING Shipping and handling costs related to cost of goods sold are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $156,103 and $26,129 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 2. 11 ADVERTISING Advertising costs are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $956,056, and $1,541,484 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 2. 12 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES Research and development expenses are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $855,167 and $453,378 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 2. 13 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). For those entities whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollars, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and items in the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances in the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of income and comprehensive income, as incurred. Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity amounted to $14,747,757 as of December 31, 2019 and $10,415,786 as of December 31, 2019. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2019 were translated using an exchange rate of RMB 6.98 to $1.00 and RMB RMB 6.86 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and other comprehensive income and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were RMB 6.87 to $1.00 and RMB 6.61 to $1.00, respectively. 2. 14 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents kept with financial institutions in the P.R.C. are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any of those institutions holding the Company’s cash become insolvent, or should the Company become unable to withdraw funds for any reason, the Company could lose the cash on deposit with that institution. 2. 15 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. The standard credit period for most of the Company’s clients is three months. The collection period over 1 year is classified as long-term accounts receivable. Management evaluates the collectability of the receivables at least quarterly. 2. 16 INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its location and conditions are accounted for as follows: (a) raw materials - purchase cost on a weighted average basis; (b) manufactured finished goods and work-in-progress - cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operation capacity but excluding borrowing costs; and (c) retail and wholesale merchandise finished goods - purchase cost on a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs for completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 2. 17 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such costs include the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalization when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalization. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Plant and machinery 5 - 10 years Structure and leasehold improvements 10 - 30 years Mature seeds and herbage cultivation 20 years Furniture and equipment 2.5 - 10 years Motor vehicles 4 - 10 years An item of plant and equipment is removed from the accounts upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statements of income in the period the item is disposed. 2. 18 GOODWILL Goodwill is an asset representing the fair economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified or separately recognized. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis at the end of the Company’s fiscal year, or when impairment indicators arise. The Company uses a fair-value-based approach to test for impairment at the level of each reporting unit. The Company directly acquired MEIJI, which is the holding company of JHST that operates the Hu Plantation. As a result of this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $724,940. This goodwill represents the fair value of the assets acquired in these acquisitions over the cost of the assets acquired. 2. 19 PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES A master license of stock feed manufacturing technology was acquired and the costs of acquisition are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of acquisition of stock feed manufacturing technology master license is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 25 years. An aromatic cattle-feeding formula was acquired and the costs of acquisition are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of acquisition on aromatic cattle-feeding formula is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 20 years. The cost of sleepy cods breeding technology license is capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of granting sleepy cods breeding technology license is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 25 years. Bacterial cellulose technology license and related trade mark are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of license and related trade mark is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 20 years. The Company has determined that technological feasibility is established at the time a working model of products is completed. Proprietary technologies are intangible assets of finite lives. Management evaluates the recoverability of proprietary technologies on an annual basis at the end of the Company’s fiscal year, or when impairment indicators arise. As required by ASC Topic 350 “Intangible - Goodwill and Other”, the Company uses a fair-value-based approach to test for impairment. 2. 20 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use. 2. 21 LAND USE RIGHTS Land use rights represent acquisition of rights to agricultural land from farmers and are amortized on the straight-line basis over their respective lease periods. The lease period of agricultural land is in the range from 10 to 60 years. Land use rights purchase prices were determined in accordance with the P.R.C. Government’s minimum lease payments on agricultural land and mutually agreed to terms between the Company and the vendors. 2. 22 EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS Investee entities in which the company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in net income. A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. 2. 23 CORPORATE JOINT VENTURE A corporation formed, owned, and operated by two or more businesses as a separate and discrete business or project (venture) for their mutual benefit is considered to be a corporate joint venture. Investee entities, in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in net income. A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. 2. 24 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY A variable interest entity (“ VIE ”) is an entity (investee) in which the investor has obtained less than a majority interest, according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). A VIE is subject to consolidation if a VIE meets one of the following three criteria as elaborated in ASC Topic 810‑10, Consolidation: (a) equity-at-risk is not sufficient to support the entity’s activities; (b) as a group, the equity-at-risk holders cannot control the entity; or (c) the economics do not coincide with the voting interest. If a firm is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the holdings must be disclosed on the balance sheet. The primary beneficiary is defined as the person or company with the majority of variable interests. A corporation formed, owned, and operated by two or more businesses (ventures) as a separate and discrete business or project (venture) for their mutual benefit is defined as a joint venture. 2. 25 TREASURY STOCK Treasury stock means shares of a corporation’s own stock that have been issued and subsequently reacquired by the corporation. Converting outstanding shares to treasury shares does not reduce the number of shares issued but does reduce the number of shares outstanding. These shares are not eligible to receive dividends. Accounting for excesses and deficiencies on treasury stock transactions is governed by ASC 505‑30‑30. State laws and federal agencies closely regulate transactions involving a company’s own capital stock, so the purchase of outstanding shares must have a legitimate purpose. Some of the most common reasons for purchasing outstanding shares are as follows: (a) to meet additional stock needs for various reasons, including newly implemented stock option plans, stock for convertible bonds or convertible preferred stock, or a stock dividend. (b) to make more shares available for acquisitions of other entities. The cost method of accounting for treasury shares has been adopted by the Company. The purchase of outstanding shares and thus converting them into treasury shares is treated as a temporary reduction in shareholders’ equity in view of the expectation to reissue the shares instead of retiring them. When the Company reissues the treasury shares, the temporary account is eliminated. The cost of acquiring outstanding shares for converting into treasury shares is charged to a contra account, in this case a contra equity account that reduces the stockholder equity balance. 2. 26 INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The provision for income tax is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. ASC Topic 740 also prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or for one expected to be taken, in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements. Any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as tax expense. 2. 27 POLITICAL AND BUSINESS RISK The Company’s operations are carried out in the P.R.C. Accordingly, the political, economic and legal environment in the P.R.C. may influence the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations by the general state of the P.R.C.’s economy. The Company’s operations in the P.R.C. are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. 2. 28 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Cash includes cash at banks and demand deposits in accounts maintained with banks within the P.R.C. Total cash in these banks as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $185,895 and $4,950,799, respectively, none of which is covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks to its cash in bank accounts. The Company had 5 major customers (A, B, C, D and E) whose business individually represented the following percentages of the Company’s total revenue for the period indicated: 2019 2018 Customer A 32.30 % 31.65 % Customer B 25.17 % 21.33 % Customer C 16.54 % 16.68 % Customer D 6.08 % Customer E — 7.85 % Customer F 3.62 % 5.68 % 83.71 % 83.19 % Percentage of revenue Amount Customer A Corporate Division 32.30 % $ 43,798,678 Customer B Cattle Farm Development and HU Plantation Division 25.17 % $ 34,062,095 Customer C Corporate Division 16.54 % $ 22,433,555 Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located primarily in the P.R.C. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and has not experienced any material losses to date. The Company had 5 major customers whose accounts receivable balance individually represented the following percentages of the Company’s total accounts receivable: 2019 2018 Customer A 39.91 % 12.76 % Customer B 16.11 % 9.67 % Customer C 14.66 % 10.05 % Customer D 11.66 % 59.81 % Customer E 8.43 % 1.8 % Customer F — % 90.77 % 94.09 % As of December 31, 2019, amounts due from customers A, B and C are $39,321,639, $15,871,509 and $14,446,680 respectively. The Company has not experienced any significant difficulty in collecting its accounts receivable in the past and is not aware of any financial difficulties of its major customers. 2. 29 IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment, during each reporting period. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined no impairment losses were necessary. 2. 30 EARNINGS PER SHARE As prescribed in ASC Topic 260 “ Earnings per Share, ” Basic Earnings per Share (“ EPS ”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. ASC 260‑10‑55 requires that stock dividends or stock splits be accounted for retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the year, or retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it outstanding of the entirety of each period presented.

A VIE is an entity (1) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities, (2) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, or (3) where the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. The Company also quantitatively and qualitatively examined if SJAP is considered a VIE. Qualitative analyses considered the extent to which the nature of its variable interest exposed the Company to losses. For quantitative analyses, the Company also used internal cash flow models to determine if SJAP was a VIE and, if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary. The projection of these cash flows and probabilities thereof requires significant managerial judgment because of the inherent limitations that relate to the use of historical data for the projection of future events. On December 31, 2019, the Company evaluated the above VIE testing results and concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary of SJAP’s expected losses or residual returns and that SJAP qualifies as a VIE of the Company. As result, the Company has consolidated SJAP as a VIE. The reasons for the changes are as follows: · Originally, the board of directors of SJAP consisted of 7 members; 3 appointees from Qinghai Sanjiang (one stockholder), 1 from Garwor (one stockholder), and 3 from the Company, such that the Company did not have majority interest represented on the board of directors of SJAP. · On May 7, 2010, Qinghai Sanjiang sold and transferred its equity interest in SJAP to Garwor. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce of Xining City Government of the P.R.C. approved the sale and transfer. Consequently Garwor and the Company agreed that the new board of directors of SJAP would consist of 3 members; 1 appointee from Garwor and 2 appointees from the Company, such that the Company now had a majority interest in the board of directors of SJAP. Also, and in accordance with the Company’s Sino Joint Venture Agreement, the Company’s management appointed the chief financial officer of SJAP. As a result, the financial statements of SJAP were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. On September 30th 2019, Mr. Solomon Lee resigned as the Chairman of SJAP resulting in categorization of SJAP as an Investor in Associate from a subsidiary status. Continuous assessment of the VIE relationship with QZH The Company may also have a controlling financial interest in an entity through an arrangement that does not involve voting interests, such as a VIE. The Company evaluates entities deemed to be VIE’s using a risk and reward model to determine whether to consolidate. A VIE is an entity (1) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities, (2) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, or (3) where the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. The Company also quantitatively and qualitatively examined if QZH is considered a VIE. Qualitative analyses considered the extent to which the nature of its variable interest exposed the Company to losses. For quantitative analyses, the Company also used internal cash flow models to determine if QZH was a VIE and, if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary. The projection of these cash flows and probabilities thereof requires significant managerial judgment because of the inherent limitations that relate to the use of historical data for the projection of future events. Before December 30, 2018, the Company evaluated the above VIE testing results and concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary of QZH’s expected losses or residual returns and that QZH qualifies as a VIE of the Company. As result, the Company has consolidated QZH as a VIE. The reasons for the QZH qualified as a VIE are as follows: · Originally, SJAP was sole stockholder of QZH, owned 100% equity interest in QZH and controlled directorship of QZH. · On October 25, 2015, both QZH and new stockholder, Qinghai Quanwang Investment Management Co., Ltd (“ QQI ”) contributed additional capital of $4,157,682 and $769,941, respectively. As of result, SJAP decreased its equity interest from 100% to 86% and QQI owned 14% equity interest. In addition, according to investment agreement between QZH and QQI, (i) QQI only enjoyed interest 6% annually on its capital contribution and did not enjoy any profit distribution; (ii) investment period was 3 years only, and (iii) SJAP shared 100% on profit or loss after deduction 6% interest to QQI and enjoyed 100% voting rights of QZH’s board and stockholders meetings. · Consequently, the Company still indirectly control directorship of QZH, such that the Company now had a majority interest in the directorship of QZH. Also, and in accordance with the Company’s Sino Joint Venture Agreement, the Company’s controlled QZH’s chief financial officer appointment. As a result, the financial statements of QZH were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. On December 30, 2017 the Company sold its (35.36)% equity in QZH to a third party for RMB 2 and effectively resigned from the board of directors of QZH as 31 st December 2018 as such the Company has no further equity and financial interest in QZH for year ended 31 st December 2019. |

CONTINGENCIES On March 26, 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, as well as four of its current directors. The Complaint alleges violations of securities law and state law, breaches of fiduciary duties (including gross mismanagement of the Company) by the individual defendants, a material default of its obligations under a commercial loan agreement, misleading and false statements (including material omissions) by the individual defendants, and unauthorized issuance of new shares of Common Stock to pay debts that, in the view of the plantiffs, has diluted shareholder ownership and oppressed shareholders of the Company.

Management does not currently believe that such claim and proceeding are likely, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. On September 22, 2015, the Company entered into a trade facility agreement with two independent third parties.

EARNINGS PER SHARE | 28. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potential common stock, including convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year, if dilutive. The numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and dilutive earnings per share are presented in the following table: 2019 2018 BASIC Numerator for basic earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders: Net income used in computing basic earnings per share (10,342,267) $ 17,323,337 Basic earnings per share (0.21) $ 0.46 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 49,963,607 37,336,164 2019 2018 DILUTED Numerator for basic earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders: Net income used in computing diluted earnings per share (10,342,267) $ 17,323,337 Diluted earnings per share (0.21) $ 0.46 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 49,963,607 37,336,164 |

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 2. 3 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“ US GAAP ”). |
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION | 2. 4 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries CA, CS, CH, MEIJI, JHST, JHMC, HSA, APWAM, SAFS and its variable interest entity SJAP. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. SIAF, CA, CS, CH, MEIJI, JHST, JHMC, HSA, APWAM, SAFS, and SJAP are hereafter referred to as (the “Company”). |
BUSINESS COMBINATION | 2. 5 BUSINESS COMBINATION The Company adopted the accounting pronouncements relating to business combination (primarily contained in ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations”), including assets acquired and liabilities assumed on arising from contingencies. These pronouncements established principles and requirement for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquisition as well as provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. In addition, these pronouncements eliminate the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and require an acquirer to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for acquired contingencies depending on their nature. The Company’s adoption of these pronouncements will have an impact on the manner in which it accounts for any future acquisitions. |
NON - CONTROLLING INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | 2. 6 NON - CONTROLLING INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company adopted the accounting pronouncement on non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance is primarily contained in ASC Topic “Consolidation.” It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard has not had material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
USE OF ESTIMATES | 2. 7 USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered thereby. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in certain areas. The following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: determinations of the useful lives of assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts, cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets, estimates of the realization of deferred tax assets and inventory reserves. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | 2. 8 REVENUE RECOGNITION In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaces numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry specific requirements, and provides a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This requires companies to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenues generated mainly from trading of frozen food and sales of agricultural products are recognized at a point in time. The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenues. Multiple-Element Arrangements To qualify as a separate unit of accounting under ASC 605‑25 “ Multiple Element Arrangements ”, the delivered item must have value to the customer on a standalone basis. The significant deliverables under the Company’s multiple-element arrangements are consulting and service under development contract, commission and management service. Revenues from the Company’s consulting and services under development contracts are performed under fixed-price contracts. Revenues under long-term contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Under the percentage-of-completion method, the Company estimates profit as the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract and recognize that profit over the contract term. The percentage of costs incurred determines the amount of revenue to be recognized. Payment terms are generally defined by the installation contract and as a result may not match the timing of the costs incurred by the Company and the related recognition of revenue. Such differences are recorded as either costs or estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts or billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The Company determines a customer’s credit worthiness at the time an order is accepted. Sudden and unexpected changes in a customer’s financial condition could put recoverability at risk. The percentage of completion method requires the ability to estimate several factors, including the ability of the customer to meet its obligations under the contract, including the payment of amounts when due. If the Company determines that collectability is not assured, the Company will defer revenue recognition and use methods of accounting for the contract such as the completed contract method until such time as the Company determines that collectability is reasonably assured or through the completion of the project. For fixed-price contracts, the Company uses the ratio of costs incurred to date on the contract to management’s estimate of the contract’s total costs, to determine the percentage of completion on each contract. This method is used as management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progression of these contracts. Contract costs include all direct material, subcontract and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tool repairs and depreciation. The Company accounts for maintenance and repair services under the guidance of ASC 605 as the services provided relate to construction work. Contract costs incurred to date and expected total contract costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability arising from contract penalty, change orders and final contract settlements may result in revisions to the estimated profit ability during the contract. These changes, which include contracts with estimated costs in excess of estimated revenues, are recognized as contract costs in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. At the point the Company anticipates a loss on a contract, the Company estimates the ultimate loss through completion and recognizes that loss in the period in which the loss was identified. The Company does not provide warranties to customers on a basis customary to the industry, however, customers can claim warranty directly from product manufacturers for defects in equipment or products. Historically, the Company has experienced no warranty claims. The Company provides various management services to its customers in the P.R.C. based on a negotiated fixed-price contract. The clients usually pay the fees when the services contract is signed and services are rendered. The Company recognizes these services-based revenues from contracts when (i) management services are rendered; (ii) clients recognize the completion of services; and (iii) collectability is reasonably assured. Fees received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue under current liabilities. |
COST OF GOODS SOLD AND COST OF SERVICES | 2. 9 COST OF GOODS SOLD AND COST OF SERVICES Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct purchase cost of merchandise goods, and related levies. Cost of services consist primarily direct cost and indirect cost incurred to date for development contracts and provision for anticipated losses for development contracts. |
SHIPPING AND HANDLING | 2. 10 SHIPPING AND HANDLING Shipping and handling costs related to cost of goods sold are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $156,103 and $26,129 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
ADVERTISING | 2. 11 ADVERTISING Advertising costs are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $956,056, and $1,541,484 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES | 2. 12 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES Research and development expenses are included in general and administrative expenses, which totaled $855,167 and $453,378 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME | 2. 13 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). For those entities whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollars, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and items in the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances in the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statements of income and comprehensive income, as incurred. Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity amounted to $14,747,757 as of December 31, 2019 and $10,415,786 as of December 31, 2019. The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2019 were translated using an exchange rate of RMB 6.98 to $1.00 and RMB RMB 6.86 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income and other comprehensive income and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were RMB 6.87 to $1.00 and RMB 6.61 to $1.00, respectively. |
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | 2. 14 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents kept with financial institutions in the P.R.C. are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any of those institutions holding the Company’s cash become insolvent, or should the Company become unable to withdraw funds for any reason, the Company could lose the cash on deposit with that institution. |
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE | 2. 15 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. The standard credit period for most of the Company’s clients is three months. The collection period over 1 year is classified as long-term accounts receivable. Management evaluates the collectability of the receivables at least quarterly. |
INVENTORIES | 2. 16 INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its location and conditions are accounted for as follows: (a) raw materials - purchase cost on a weighted average basis; (b) manufactured finished goods and work-in-progress - cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operation capacity but excluding borrowing costs; and (c) retail and wholesale merchandise finished goods - purchase cost on a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs for completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. |
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT | 2. 17 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such costs include the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalization when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalization. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Plant and machinery 5 - 10 years Structure and leasehold improvements 10 - 30 years Mature seeds and herbage cultivation 20 years Furniture and equipment 2.5 - 10 years Motor vehicles 4 - 10 years An item of plant and equipment is removed from the accounts upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the consolidated statements of income in the period the item is disposed. |
GOODWILL | 2. 18 GOODWILL Goodwill is an asset representing the fair economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified or separately recognized. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis at the end of the Company’s fiscal year, or when impairment indicators arise. The Company uses a fair-value-based approach to test for impairment at the level of each reporting unit. The Company directly acquired MEIJI, which is the holding company of JHST that operates the Hu Plantation. As a result of this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $724,940. This goodwill represents the fair value of the assets acquired in these acquisitions over the cost of the assets acquired. |
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES | 2. 19 PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES A master license of stock feed manufacturing technology was acquired and the costs of acquisition are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of acquisition of stock feed manufacturing technology master license is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 25 years. An aromatic cattle-feeding formula was acquired and the costs of acquisition are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of acquisition on aromatic cattle-feeding formula is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 20 years. The cost of sleepy cods breeding technology license is capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of granting sleepy cods breeding technology license is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 25 years. Bacterial cellulose technology license and related trade mark are capitalized as proprietary technologies when technological feasibility has been established. Cost of license and related trade mark is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated life of 20 years. The Company has determined that technological feasibility is established at the time a working model of products is completed. Proprietary technologies are intangible assets of finite lives. Management evaluates the recoverability of proprietary technologies on an annual basis at the end of the Company’s fiscal year, or when impairment indicators arise. As required by ASC Topic 350 “Intangible - Goodwill and Other”, the Company uses a fair-value-based approach to test for impairment. |
CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS | 2. 20 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use. |
LAND USE RIGHTS | 2. 21 LAND USE RIGHTS Land use rights represent acquisition of rights to agricultural land from farmers and are amortized on the straight-line basis over their respective lease periods. The lease period of agricultural land is in the range from 10 to 60 years. Land use rights purchase prices were determined in accordance with the P.R.C. Government’s minimum lease payments on agricultural land and mutually agreed to terms between the Company and the vendors. |
EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS | 2. 22 EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS Investee entities in which the company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in net income. A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. |
CORPORATE JOINT VENTURE | 2. 23 CORPORATE JOINT VENTURE A corporation formed, owned, and operated by two or more businesses as a separate and discrete business or project (venture) for their mutual benefit is considered to be a corporate joint venture. Investee entities, in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of these companies is included in net income. A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to operations. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. |
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY | 2. 24 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY A variable interest entity (“ VIE ”) is an entity (investee) in which the investor has obtained less than a majority interest, according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). A VIE is subject to consolidation if a VIE meets one of the following three criteria as elaborated in ASC Topic 810‑10, Consolidation: (a) equity-at-risk is not sufficient to support the entity’s activities; (b) as a group, the equity-at-risk holders cannot control the entity; or (c) the economics do not coincide with the voting interest. If a firm is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the holdings must be disclosed on the balance sheet. The primary beneficiary is defined as the person or company with the majority of variable interests. A corporation formed, owned, and operated by two or more businesses (ventures) as a separate and discrete business or project (venture) for their mutual benefit is defined as a joint venture. |
TREASURY STOCK | 2. 25 TREASURY STOCK Treasury stock means shares of a corporation’s own stock that have been issued and subsequently reacquired by the corporation. Converting outstanding shares to treasury shares does not reduce the number of shares issued but does reduce the number of shares outstanding. These shares are not eligible to receive dividends. Accounting for excesses and deficiencies on treasury stock transactions is governed by ASC 505‑30‑30. State laws and federal agencies closely regulate transactions involving a company’s own capital stock, so the purchase of outstanding shares must have a legitimate purpose. Some of the most common reasons for purchasing outstanding shares are as follows: (a) to meet additional stock needs for various reasons, including newly implemented stock option plans, stock for convertible bonds or convertible preferred stock, or a stock dividend. (b) to make more shares available for acquisitions of other entities. The cost method of accounting for treasury shares has been adopted by the Company. The purchase of outstanding shares and thus converting them into treasury shares is treated as a temporary reduction in shareholders’ equity in view of the expectation to reissue the shares instead of retiring them. When the Company reissues the treasury shares, the temporary account is eliminated. The cost of acquiring outstanding shares for converting into treasury shares is charged to a contra account, in this case a contra equity account that reduces the stockholder equity balance. |
INCOME TAXES | 2. 26 INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The provision for income tax is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. ASC Topic 740 also prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or for one expected to be taken, in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements. Any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as tax expense. |
POLITICAL AND BUSINESS RISK | 2. 27 POLITICAL AND BUSINESS RISK The Company’s operations are carried out in the P.R.C. Accordingly, the political, economic and legal environment in the P.R.C. may influence the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations by the general state of the P.R.C.’s economy. The Company’s operations in the P.R.C. are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. |
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK | 2. 28 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Cash includes cash at banks and demand deposits in accounts maintained with banks within the P.R.C. Total cash in these banks as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $185,895 and $4,950,799, respectively, none of which is covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks to its cash in bank accounts. The Company had 5 major customers (A, B, C, D and E) whose business individually represented the following percentages of the Company’s total revenue for the period indicated: 2019 2018 Customer A 32.30 % 31.65 % Customer B 25.17 % 21.33 % Customer C 16.54 % 16.68 % Customer D 6.08 % Customer E — 7.85 % Customer F 3.62 % 5.68 % 83.71 % 83.19 % Percentage of revenue Amount Customer A Corporate Division 32.30 % $ 43,798,678 Customer B Cattle Farm Development and HU Plantation Division 25.17 % $ 34,062,095 Customer C Corporate Division 16.54 % $ 22,433,555 Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located primarily in the P.R.C. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and has not experienced any material losses to date. The Company had 5 major customers whose accounts receivable balance individually represented the following percentages of the Company’s total accounts receivable: 2019 2018 Customer A 39.91 % 12.76 % Customer B 16.11 % 9.67 % Customer C 14.66 % 10.05 % Customer D 11.66 % 59.81 % Customer E 8.43 % 1.8 % Customer F — % 90.77 % 94.09 % As of December 31, 2019, amounts due from customers A, B and C are $39,321,639, $15,871,509 and $14,446,680 respectively. The Company has not experienced any significant difficulty in collecting its accounts receivable in the past and is not aware of any financial difficulties of its major customers. |
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | 2. 29 IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment, during each reporting period. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined no impairment losses were necessary. |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | 2. 30 EARNINGS PER SHARE As prescribed in ASC Topic 260 “ Earnings per Share, ” Basic Earnings per Share (“ EPS ”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. ASC 260‑10‑55 requires that stock dividends or stock splits be accounted for retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the year, or retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it outstanding of the entirety of each period presented. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the year. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Sino Agro Food, Inc. and subsidiaries common stockholders amounted to $(0.21), and $0.46, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Sino Agro Food, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ common stockholders amounted to $(0.21), and $0.46, respectively. |
ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME | 2. 31 ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME ASC Topic 220 “ Comprehensive Income ” establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in stockholders’ equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The comprehensive income for all periods presented includes both the reported net income and net change in cumulative translation adjustments. |
RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS | 2. 32 RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS P.R.C. state managed retirement benefit programs are defined contribution plans and the payments to the plans are charged as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution made by the employer. |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | 2. 33 STOCK -BASED COMPENSATION The Company has adopted both ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” and ASC Topic 505‑50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non - Employees” using the fair value method in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from employees and non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with this accounting standard and the accounting standard regarding accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling goods or services, as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. This accounting standard allows the “simplified” method to determine the term of employee options when other information is not available. Under ASC Topic 718 and ASC Topic 505‑50, stock compensation expenses is measured at the grant date on the value of the option or restricted stock and is recognized as expenses, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 2. 34 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company follows paragraph 825‑10‑50‑10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820‑10‑35‑37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820‑10‑35‑37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820‑10‑35‑37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820‑10‑35‑37 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820‑10‑35‑37 are described below: Level 1 Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3 Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, Deposits and prepayments, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other payables, due to a director and income tax payables. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The Company’s long-term borrowing, promissory notes and convertible notes payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at December 31, 2019. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company revalues its derivative liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. The Company has no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | 2. 35 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02, Leases, which aims to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable and requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including leases currently accounted for as operating leases. This ASU is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016‑02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑07—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
