NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Laifeng Anpulo (Group) Food Development Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “Laifeng Anpulo”) was registered as a privately owned company on March 3, 2005 in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company’s business operations consist of processing and distributing pork products. The Company also engages in the research and development, manufacturing and distribution of chilled pork, frozen pork and prepared meats. The Company distributes its products to the clients mainly in Hubei and Hunan Province.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Anpulo Food, Inc. (referred to herein as “Anpulo”); its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anpulo International Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company (“Anpulo HK”); Anpulo HK’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Guangxiang Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability company and a wholly foreign owned entity (“Anpulo WFOE”); Anpulo WFOE’s variable interest entity, Laifeng Anpulo (Group) Food Development Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability company (“Anpulo Laifeng” or the “VIE”), where Anpulo WFOE is deemed the primary beneficiary. All of Anpulo’s operations are conducted by Anpulo Laifeng whose results of operations are consolidated into those of Anpulo. Anpulo HK and Anpulo WFOE are sometimes referred to as the “subsidiaries”. Anpulo, its consolidated subsidiaries and Anpulo Laifeng are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we” and “us”, unless specific reference is made to an entity.
Anpulo is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 30, 2010. On June 25, 2012, the Company redomiciled from the State of Nevada to British Virgin Islands. The Company is engaged in processing, distributing and marketing fresh pork and cured pork products in the People’s Republic of China, (the “PRC” or “China”). The Company does not raise hogs, but instead purchase live hogs from farms or individual pig farmers in Laifeng County and its neighboring area in China for slaughtering, processing and curing. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Anpulo HK, was incorporated in Hong Kong in May 2012 as a limited liability company. Other than its equity interest in Anpulo HK, Anpulo does not own any assets or conduct any operations.
In June 2013, Anpulo HK established a wholly owned subsidiary, Guangxiang Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. (“Anpulo WFOE”), in Shanghai, China. Other than the equity interest in Anpulo WFOE, Anpulo HK does not own any assets or conduct any operations.
Anpulo WFOE conducts its business through Anpulo Laifeng, which is consolidated as a variable interest entity, as discussed below.
Chinese laws and regulations currently do not prohibit or restrict foreign ownership in hog breeding businesses. However, Chinese laws and regulations do prevent direct foreign investment in certain industries. On December 1, 2009, to protect the Company’s stockholders from possible future foreign ownership restrictions, Anpulo Laifeng and all of the stockholders of Anpulo Laifeng (“Principal Stockholders”) entered into an Entrusted Management Agreement (the “EMA”) with Anpulo WFOE, which provides that Anpulo WFOE will be fully and exclusively responsible for the management of Anpulo Laifeng. Anpulo WFOE is also entitled to receive the residual return of Anpulo Laifeng. As a result of the agreement, Anpulo WFOE will absorb 100% of the expected losses and gains of Anpulo Laifeng, which results in Anpulo WFOE being the primary beneficiary of Anpulo Laifeng.
Anpulo WFOE also entered into a Pledge of Equity Agreement (the “PEA”) with the Principal Stockholders, who pledged all their equity interest in these entities to Anpulo WFOE. The PEA, which was entered into by each Principal Shareholder, pledged each of the Principal Stockholders’ equity interest in Anpulo WFOE as a guarantee for the entrustment payment under the EMA.
In addition, Entrusted Management WFOE entered into an Option Agreement (the “OA”) to acquire the Principal Stockholders’ equity interest in these entities if or when permitted by the PRC laws.
Collectively, the EMA, PEA and OA are referred to as the Exclusive Agreements, based upon which the Company consolidates the variable interest entity, Anpulo Laifeng, as required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”), because the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The profits and losses of Anpulo Laifeng are allocated to Anpulo WFOE and thus to the Company based upon the EMA.
On November 18, 2012, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with the government of Laifeng County to build and operate a high end hotel. According to such agreement, we shall invest no less than RMB 30 million or approximate $4,760,000 in building a hotel in Laifeng County and, after the hotel is built we are entitled to operate the hotel and profit from the hotel operation for 20 years from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2032. After September 30, 2032, the title of the hotel shall be transferred to the Laifeng County and the Laifeng County shall not be liable for any debts associated with the hotel. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had invested $2,782,615 and $2,142,989 in the hotel construction and may need additional $2.95 million capital to complete this construction. On April 20, 2014, the Company assigned and transferred all of our rights and obligations under the cooperation agreement to Laifeng Fengming Manor Hotel Management Co., Ltd. (“Fengming”) for approximately $2.7 million or RMB 17 million. Fengming is owned by Mr. Junyi Luo, Mr. Wenping Luo’s son. Mr. Wenping Luo does neither have any direct or indirect investment in Fengming nor hold any management position in Fengming.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP. The basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficit of $2,168,473, a working capital deficit and cash outflow from operating activities of $9,897,839 and $1,922,554 at March 31, 2014. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to provide the Company with additional loans as needed and is seeking a merger target to implement its strategic plans. Management feels these actions provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2014. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2014.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the useful lives of property and equipment, land use rights, and assumptions used in assessing impairment for long-term assets.
Principles of Consolidation
Pursuant to US GAAP, Anpulo Laifeng is the VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, the VIE has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.
Based on various VIE agreements, the Company is able to exercise control over the VIE, and obtain the financial interests such as the periodic income of the VIE through the EMA, PEA, and OA and to acquire the net assets of VIE through purchase of their equities at essentially no cost. The Company therefore concluded that its interest in the VIE is not a non-controlling interest and therefore is not classified as such. Based on the Exclusive Agreements the amount of controlling interest of the Anpulo Laifeng shareholders, who are holding shares of the VIE for the Company, is zero. They exercise no controls over the VIE and no financial interests of ownership are due to them either for periodic income or the net assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the U.S. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, balances in banks in the PRC of $1,342,561 and $667,024, respectively, are uninsured.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The Company reports loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per share”. The Company’s basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the assumption that any dilutive options or warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, the Company’s outstanding stock warrants are assumed to be exercised, and funds thus obtained were assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were no dilutive instruments outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. However, if present, a separate computation of diluted loss per share would not have been presented, as these common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The following tables present information about investment held for trading measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
| | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | | Balance at March 31, 2014 | | | Gain (Loss) | |
Investment in gold held for trading | | $ | 24,849 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 24,849 | | | $ | (7,849 | ) |

Investment in gold held for trading | | $ | 32,914 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 32,914 | | | $ | - | |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, advances to suppliers, prepaid expenses, short-term loans, accounts payable, accrued expenses, advances from customers, taxes payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Investment in Gold – Held for Trading
Marketable investment instruments are generally designated as investment held for trading. Investments held for trading are measured at fair value, whereby gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized to profit or loss. The Company holds investments in gold for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company holds investment for trading of $24,849 and $32,914, respectively. The loss resulting from changes in fair value are recognized to profit or loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013was ($7,849) and $0, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $109,005 and $58,367, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company did not record inventory reserve at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Advances to Suppliers
Advances to suppliers represent the cash paid in advance for the purchase of raw material from suppliers. The advance payments are intended to ensure preferential pricing and delivery. The amounts advanced under such arrangements totaled $261,920 and $255,879 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Other Current Assets
Other current assets represent the cash held in personal bank accounts. Most of the Company’s business activities are with peasant farmers and of necessity such transactions are carried out in cash. Corporate bank accounts in the PRC generally have cumbersome procedures for cash deposits and withdrawals. However, such cumbersome procedures are not applicable to personal bank accounts. For this reason, many companies that deal with a significant volume of cash activities often arrange to have a personal bank account established in the name of a trusted employee to facilitate such transactions. The Company’s rights to its funds held in such account are documented through a formal agreement with the individual nominally listed as the account owner. Since 2005, the Company kept a certain amount of cash in personal bank accounts established in the names of its cashiers, accountants, and Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of cash maintenance and management. The Company’s cashier, accountants, and Chief Executive Officer were maintaining and managing cash of $2,413,180 and $729,355 on behalf of the Company as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of factory improvements and machinery pending installation and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
Estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:
| Useful Life |
Buildings | 20 years |
Vehicles | 5 ~ 8 years |
Office equipment | 5 years |
Operating equipment | 4 ~ 10 years |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method prescribed by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $77,225 and $44,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Employee Benefits
The Company’s operations and employees are all located in the PRC. The Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC government’s health, retirement benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with the relevant Chinese social security laws. The costs of these payments are charged to the same accounts as the related salary costs in the same period as the related salary costs. Employee benefit costs totaled $58,731 and $27,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Advertising Costs

Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was ($10,711) and $4,473, respectively. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any 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 results of operations as incurred.
All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency. The Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Asset and liability accounts at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were translated at 6.1619 RMB to $1.00 and 6.1104 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 6.1156 RMB and 6.2769 RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessments inherently involve an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Restrictions of Transfer of Assets Out of the PRC
Dividend payments by Laifeng Anpulo are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC. No dividends may be paid by Laifeng Anpulo without first receiving prior approval from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. Dividend payments are restricted to 90% of profits, after tax.
Control by Principal Stockholders
Our directors and executive officers and their affiliates or related parties own, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, if our directors and executive officers and their affiliates or related parties vote their shares uniformly, they would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing our authorized capital stock and the dissolution or merger of our company or the sale of our assets.
Concentrations of Credit Risks
The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. 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.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and none of these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were as follows:
| | March 31, 2014 | | | December 31, 2013 | |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standard that raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The standard revised the definition of a discontinued operation to cover only asset disposals that are considered to be a strategic shift with a major impact on an entity's operations and finances, such as the disposal of a major geographic area or a significant line of business. Application of the standard, which is to be applied prospectively, is required for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods within that year.

| • | | Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved by the stockholders; |
| • | | The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividend to shareholders. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital. |
Since the Company did not realize net income from its operations in the past years, the Company did not allocate any statutory reserve contributions. The reserves amounted to $0 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Risk arising from contractual arrangements with Anpulo Laifeng
The Company conducts substantially all of its operations, and generates substantially all of its revenues, through contractual arrangements with Anpulo Laifeng that provide the Company with effective control over Anpulo Laifeng. The Company depends on Anpulo Laifeng to hold and maintain contracts with its customers. Anpulo Laifeng owns substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property, facilities and other assets relating to the operation of the Company’s business, and employs the personnel for substantially all of its business. Neither Anpulo, nor Anpulo HK nor Anpulo WFOE has any ownership interest in Anpulo Laifeng. Although Anpulo WFOE’s contractual arrangements with Anpulo Laifeng are valid, binding and enforceable under current PRC laws and regulations, these contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing the Company with control over Anpulo Laifeng as direct ownership of Anpulo Laifeng would.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
The Company follows ASC 450, Accounting for Contingencies, in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred. The Company has not accounted for any loss contingencies as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Lease obligations
The Company leases office space that has a remaining term of 4 years and expired November 30, 2018. Also as a condition of being the holder of the land use rights for its hog farms, the Company makes rental payments to the government over the term of the land use rights, which range from 19 years to 50 years. The Company does not have capital leases. In most cases, management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced. Net rental expense relating to the Company’s operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $15,140 and $6,213, respectively.
The following table sets forth the aggregate minimum future annual rental commitments at March 31, 2014 under all non-cancelable leases for years ending December 31:

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Environmental matters
Environmental laws and regulations to which the Company is subject mandate additional concerns and requirements of the Company. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits can result in injunctive actions, damages and civil and criminal penalties. The laws and regulations applicable to the Company's activities change frequently and it is not possible to predict the potential impact on the Company from any such future changes.
Although management believes that the Company is in material compliance with the statutes, laws, rules and regulations of every jurisdiction in which it operates, no assurance can be given that the Company’s compliance with the applicable statutes, laws, rules and regulations will not be challenged by governing authorities or private parties, or that such challenges will not lead to material adverse effects on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company is not involved in any legal matters. While incapable of estimation, in the opinion of the management, the individual regulatory and legal matters in which it might be involved in the future are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 17 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficit of $2,168,473, a working capital deficit and cash outflow from operating activities of $9,897,839 and $1,922,554 at March 31, 2014. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to provide the Company with additional loans as needed and is seeking a merger target to implement its strategic plans. Management feels these actions provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 20, 2014, the Company assigned and transferred all of its rights and obligations under the cooperation agreement with Laifeng County to Laifeng Fengming Manor Hotel Management Co., Ltd. (“Fengming”) for approximately $2.7 million or RMB 17 million. Fengming is owned by Mr. Junyi Luo, Mr. Wenping Luo’s son. Mr. Wenping Luo does neither have any direct or indirect investment in Fengming nor hold any management position in Fengming.
On April 21 and April 22, 2014, the Company received governmental subsidies of approximately $34,000 in total for its 2013 bank loan interest expenditures. The Company cannot guarantee it will keep receiving subsidies from the government in the future.
