ITEM 1. BUSINESS
History
We were incorporated under the name “Hazlo! Technologies, Inc.” on August 19, 2010 in the State of Nevada. Our initial business plan was to modify and translate software and web applications originally written in English into Spanish and to focus on the needs of the Arizona business community to better serve the Spanish-speaking population. We did not generate any revenue from said IT services and data translation services.
On December 12, 2011, we entered a Share Exchange Agreement with DingXu BVI’s sole shareholder (Chin Yung Kong) under which we issue 60,000,000 shares of common stock to Chin Yung Kong to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DingXu BVI (the “Share Exchange”). Upon closing of the Share Exchange, DingXu BVI became the wholly owned subsidiary of CLAD.
China Liaoning DingXu Ecological Agriculture Development Co, Ltd., a BVI company (the “DingXu BVI”) was incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on April 15, 2011. Chin Yung Kong was the sole shareholder and director of DingXu BVI.
On July 5, 2011, DingXu BVI formed Panjin Hengrun Biological Technology Development Co., Ltd. 盘锦恒润生物技术开发有限公司, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Panjin Hengrun”). DingXu BVI owns 99% of the total ownership of Panjing Hengrun.
On November 28, 2011, Panjin Hengrun entered into a set of contractual arrangements with Liaoning Dingxu Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd.辽宁鼎旭生态农业发展有限公司, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC and an affiliated entity of Panjin Hengrun through contractual arrangements (“Liaoning Dingxu”). The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including a Consulting Service Agreement and an Operating Agreement, through which Panjin Hengrun has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Liaoning Dingxu to collect and own all of Liaoning Dingxu’s net profits and net losses. Additionally, under a Proxy Agreement, the shareholders of Liaoning Dingxu have vested their voting control over Liaoning Dingxu to Panjin Hengrun. In order to further reinforce Panjin Hengrun’s rights to control and operate Liaoning Dingxu, Liaoning Dingxu and its shareholders have granted Panjin Hengrun, under an Option Agreement, the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Liaoning Dingxu, or, alternatively, all of the assets of Liaoning Dingxu. Further, the shareholders of Liaoning Dingxu agreed to pledge all of their rights, titles and interests in Liaoning Dingxu under an Equity Pledge Agreement.
Upon entry of these contractual arrangements, Liaoning Dingxu became the Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) of Panjin Hengrun pursuant to ASC-810-10-05 and Panjin Hengrun was able to carry out business operations through Liaoning Dingxu.
Liaoning Dingxu was formed as a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC on August 6, 2009. It mainly engages in the business of growing mushrooms and marketing, producing and selling mushrooms and related agricultural products.
Since the completion of the Share Exchange, our business operations have been carried out through Panjin Hengrun and its affiliated operating entity Liaoning Dingxu. On December 12, 2011, we ceased the business of development stage IT services and data translation services and started to engage in the business of growing mushrooms and marketing, producing and selling mushrooms and related agricultural products through Liaoning Dingxu.
Business Overview
We mainly engage in the business of growing mushrooms and marketing, producing and selling mushrooms and related agricultural products through our affiliated VIE Liaoning Dingxu.
Main Products
We mainly produce and sell three types of products:
(1) Fresh mushrooms. We grow fresh mushrooms in our greenhouses and sell them to stores that sell products directly to individual customers. Our fresh mushrooms include oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, king trumpet mushrooms and button mushrooms.
(2) Mushroom seeds. We sell mushroom seeds to farmers in the form of stick shaped containers filled with fertilizers on which the mushrooms grow and bottles of mushroom seeds which are also used to grow mushrooms.
(3) Dried Mushrooms. We dry and package fresh mushrooms and sell them to stores that sell products directly to individual customers. Our dried mushrooms include eryngii mushrooms, white mushrooms, jade mushrooms, white king oyster mushrooms and ganoderma.
Seasonality
Our market is not seasonal due to the fact that our mushrooms are grown in the green house and therefore are not affected by season changes. We do, however, need to store our fresh mushrooms, mushroom sticks and spawns in a low temperature environment, which creates extra costs in the spring and summer months.
Market Overview
We sell all of our products in Liaoning Province China.
Sales and Marketing
We conduct direct sales and marketing through our own sales team to stores that sell products directly to individual customers. We have not used agencies and brokers to sell our products.
Our Customers
Our main customers are stores that sell our products to individual customers. We do not have any written agreements with any customers. Seven customers comprise 100% of our revenue, with each customer having sales ranging from 12% - 20%.
Raw Materials and Source of Raw Materials
The raw materials we use for growing our products include sawdust, straw, bran and chicken manure. We collect materials from local farmers and do not have any supply contracts with any farmers.
Our Competitors
There are many mushroom producers and sellers in China and we only have a very small percentage of the total market in China. On a daily basis, we produce approximately 25,000 kg of fresh mushrooms, 10,000 mushroom sticks and 10,000 bottles of mushroom seed. Our daily production is approximately 33% of our daily production capacity. We believe that Xinghe Biological Inc. located at Dongguan, Guangdong, has approximately 60 tons daily production capability and has approximately 8% of the market share in South China markets and Gaorong Company, located in Shanghai, China, has approximately 100 tons daily production capability and has approximately 10% of the market share in South China markets.
Our Plan of Growth
(1) | Expand our farms. We plan to obtain land use rights to more farmland to expand our mushroom farms and increase the production of our fresh mushrooms. |
(2) | Start the production of processed mushroom products. We have purchased, installed and tested equipment to be used in the production of mushroom products, such as canned mushrooms and mushroom drinks. Our production of mushrooms is not sufficient to begin production of such products. We intend to begin production as soon as we can purchase additional mushrooms and hire additional employees. |

We currently have following trademarks registered in China:
Trademarks “Dingxu” register number: 8041916;
“Senlinwa” register application number: ZC9880644SL;

LAND USE RIGHTS
The Company has land use rights to 24,806 square meters of land. The term of the land use rights is 50 years, starting in March 2011. The land use right in the amount of $579,580 was fully paid during 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $11,794 and $11,620, respectively.

The land use right in the amount of $2,698,027 was fully paid for as of December 31, 2013. The Company recorded liabilities related to this land use right in the amount of $nil and $491,926 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $58,926 and $58,060, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $157,949 and $153,210, respectively. The Company recorded the land use right net value of $2,531,925 and $2,604,566 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. As the land use right was not yet fully paid for as of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded long term liabilities related to this land use right in the amount of $1,548,644 and $1,548,644 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.
Under the 1982 Constitution, urban land in China is owned by the State and collectives own the rural land. Since the local and central governments administer the rural collectives, it can be construed that all land ownership is under control of the State. However, the Constitution's Amendment Act of 1988 to Article 10 adopted on April 12, 1988, states that a land use right may be transferred in accordance to law. Based on this statement, a land use right becomes divisible from land ownership, thus making land use right likely to be privatized. Individuals, including foreigners can hold long-term leases for land use. They can also own buildings, apartments, and other structures on land, as well as own personal property.
Real estate transfers in China take place in the form of transfer of right to use land. To obtain land-use rights, the land user must sign a land-grant contract with the local land authority and pay a land-grant fee up front. The grantee will enjoy a fixed land-grant term and must use the land for the purpose specified in the land-grant contract. Depending on the type and purposes of land use, the maximum term of a land grant ranges from 40 years for commercial usage, 50 years for industrial purpose, to 70 years for residential use.
The application of “Land Usage Right” on any leased land must be submitted to and approved by many authorities of the local and central government supported by a minimum of 80% of the signatories of its original land leasers who had leased the land from the government before they transfer the land to the new leasers.
LONG TERM PREPAID LEASE
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease.
The Company records lease payments at cost less accumulated rent. The Company entered into a long term agreement with certain unrelated parties to rent land in 2010. The lease payments are recorded as operating lease expenses using the straight line method during the contract period of 20 years beginning at January 1, 2010. The lease payments for the entire contract period were prepaid of $1,030,900. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded lease expense of $55,240 and $54,192, respectively.
The Company entered into a long term agreement with certain unrelated parties to rent land in 2013. The lease payments are recorded as operating lease expenses using the straight line method during the contract period of 17 years beginning at December 25, 2013. The lease payments for the entire contract period were prepaid of $984,107. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded lease expense of $nil and $nil, respectively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
We mainly engage in the business of growing mushrooms and marketing, producing and selling mushrooms and related agricultural products through our affiliated VIE Liaoning Dingxu.
We mainly produce and sell three types of products:
(1) Fresh mushrooms. We grow fresh mushrooms in our greenhouses and sell them to stores that sell products directly to individual customers. Our fresh mushrooms include oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, king trumpet mushrooms and button mushrooms.
The revenues from the sales of fresh mushrooms constitute approximately 67% and 62% of our total revenues in the fiscal year of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(2) Mushroom seeds. We sell mushroom seeds to farmers in the form of stick shaped containers filled with fertilizers on which the mushrooms grow and bottles of mushroom seeds which are also used to grow mushrooms.
The revenues from the sales of mushroom seeds was approximately 10% and 28% of our total revenues in the fiscal year of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(3) Dried Mushrooms. We dry and package fresh mushrooms and sell them to stores that sell products directly to individual customers. Our dried mushrooms include eryngii mushrooms, white mushrooms, jade mushrooms, white king oyster mushrooms and ganoderma.
We began to produce dried mushrooms beginning in the fourth quarter in 2012 after the completion of our new manufacturing workshop earlier in 2012. Previous to completing our manufacturing workshop, we sold dried mushrooms produced by a third-party supplier. We have marketed and sold such dried mushrooms through cooperation with wholesalers, local supermarkets, and specialty stores. The revenue from the sales of dried mushrooms was approximately 23% and 10% of our total revenues in the fiscal year of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using moving weighted average method. Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods and growing crops. Cost of finished goods comprises direct material and direct production cost based on normal operating capacity.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method after taking into account their respective estimated residual values over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Construction in progress represents capital assets under construction or being installed and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of plant and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs prior to the date of reaching the expected usable condition. Construction in progress is transferred to the property, plant and equipment and depreciation commences when the asset has been substantially completed and reaches the expected usable condition.
Land Use Rights
The Company states land use right at cost less accumulated amortization. The land use right is amortized on straight line method during the contract period.
Long Term Prepaid Lease
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease.
The Company records lease payments at cost less accumulated rent.
.
Revenue Recognition
The Company engages in the business of growing, producing, marketing and selling fresh mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and mushroom seeds through its affiliated VIE, LiaoNing DingXu.
The Company’s products are mainly sold to secondary wholesalers of local wholesale markets. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment from the Company’s facilities to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, ownership has passed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company’s revenue consists of the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, there were no outstanding potential common stock equivalents and therefore basic and diluted earnings per share result in the same figure.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception on September 9, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company did not issue any share-based payments for services or compensation to employees, or otherwise for the periods presented.
Taxation
Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC where the Company operates after taking into account the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the county of operations.
The Company does not accrue United States income tax since it has no operating income in the United States. The operating subsidiary is organized and located in the PRC and does not conduct any business in the United States.
Enterprise income tax
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, as an agriculture growing enterprise, the operating subsidiary is exempted from enterprise income tax from 2010 to 2014. Accordingly, the Company statutory rate was 0% and 0% for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Value added tax
The Provisional Regulations of The PRC concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, as an agriculture growing enterprise, the Company is exempted from VAT from 2010 to 2014.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries and variable interest entities is the RMB. For the subsidiaries and variable interest entities whose functional currencies are the 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. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. 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 any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company. In accordance with ASC Topic 230, 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 statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
Accumulated and Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in equity of the Company during the periods presented from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
1. Revenue
The following table sets forth the breakdown of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively:
| | | | | | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Fresh Mushrooms | | | 8,469,853 | | | | 5,384,972 | |
Mushroom seeds | | | 1,309,197 | | | | 2,406,368 | |
Dried mushrooms | | | 2,838,942 | | | | 825,836 | |
Total revenue | | | 12,617,992 | | | | 8,617,176 | |
We derived our revenues predominantly from sales of our mushroom products. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, revenues from sales of our fresh mushrooms were $8,469,853 and $5,384,972, respectively, representing an increase of $3,084,881. Revenues from sales of our mushroom seeds were $1,309,197 and $2,406,368 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,097,171. Revenues from sales of our dried mushroom were $2,838,942 and $825,836 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing an increase of $2,013,106.
The increase in revenues from sales of fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms was primarily due to the increase of the sales volume and price. To be specific, the increase in our revenue was attributable to the following reasons:
a. As most of the greenhouses and planting structures under construction were completed in the second half of 2012, production in the year 2013 was higher than in the year 2012.
b. The company received the Organic products identification from the authorized government institution in the fourth quarter of 2012, allowing a significant increase in the fresh mushroom price, which resulted in a sales increase.
c. After the manufacture workshops were completed in 2012, the Company began to produce dried mushrooms in the fourth quarter of 2012. Dried mushroom production was further expanded during the year 2013.
The decrease of the mushroom seeds sales was primarily due to a change in our business model. The business model was to sell mushroom seeds to local farmers and farming organization, and to buy back the grown fresh mushroom from these parties for ultimate distribution in the market. Once most of the greenhouses, planting structures and workshops under construction were completed, the company used most of the mushroom seeds to produce fresh mushrooms instead of selling such seeds, which resulted in a decrease of the mushroom seed sales.
2. Cost of revenue
The following table presents a breakdown of our cost of revenue of our mushroom products for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | |
| | | | | | |
Cost of fresh mushroom sales | | | 4,232,658 | | | 3,881,909 | |
| | | | | | | |
Cost of mushroom seed sales | | | 499,998 | | | 1,648,334 | |
| | | | | | | |
Cost of dried mushroom sales | | | 484,525 | | | 141,586 | |
| | | | | | | |
Total | | | 5,217,181 | | | 5,671,829 | |
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, cost of fresh mushroom sales were $4,232,658 and $3,881,909, respectively, representing an increase of $350,749. The increase in cost was mainly related to an increase in in-house manufacturing cost due to an increase in in-house production.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, cost of mushroom seed sales were $499,998 and $1,648,334, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,148,336. The decrease in cost was consistent with the decrease in sales of mushroom seeds in 2013. Once most of the greenhouses. planting structures and workshops under construction were completed in the second half of 2012, the Company was able to increase its mushroom seed use, and hence increase its in-house mushroom production. Therefore, fewer mushroom seeds were sold to third parties.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, cost of dried mushroom sales were $484,525 and $141,586, respectively, representing an increase of $342,939. The increase in cost was consistent with the increase in sales of dried mushrooms in 2013. Once most of the greenhouses, planting structures and workshops under construction were completed in the second half of 2012, the Company began dried mushroom production in the fourth quarter of 2012. Such production was further expanded in 2013, which resulted in an increase of dried mushroom manufacturing cost.
3. Gross profit
The following table presents the gross profit of our businesses for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:
Production Category | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | | | | | |
Fresh mushrooms sales | | | 4,237,195 | | | | 1,503,064 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Mushroom crops and seeds sales | | | 809,199 | | | | 758,033 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Dried Mushroom sales | | | 2,354,417 | | | | 684,250 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total gross profit | | | 7,400,811 | | | | 2,945,347 | |
Gross profit from our mushroom growing business increased $4,455,464 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from the cumulative effect of our business development and sales volume increase. The gross margin of our fresh mushrooms and mushroom seeds increased because we began to produce fresh mushrooms and mushroom seeds instead of purchasing from third parties once most of the greenhouses, planting structures and workshops were completed in the second half of 2012, which reduced our cost significantly and improved our gross margin. In addition, dried mushrooms, usually purchased as gifts by customers, have large added value and high gross margin.
4. Depreciation and amortization
For the year ended December 31, 2013, our depreciation and amortization was $720,268, representing an increase of $158,885 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of increased fixed assets during the second half of 2012. Such assets depreciated for the whole year in 2013 as compared to half the year in 2012.
5. Bad debt
The bad debt represented an allowance for doubtful receivable accounts which were composed of employee receivables whose aging extended over 3 months and allowance for prepaid expenses due from supplier. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our bad debt was $82,009, representing a decrease of $378,521 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 because the Company tightened the credit term of employee receivables and prepaid expenses due from suppliers.
6. Other income
Other income is used to record the Company’s non operating income, such as government grant and adjustments of allowance for prepaid expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the other income was $19,839, representing a decrease of $354,004 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 because the Company received $373,843 from the government grant to encourage developing local agriculture in 2012 but not in 2013.
7. Income taxes
In accordance with the relevant tax laws, the Company statutory rate was 0% and 0% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
To date, our operations have been funded by contributions from “due to related parties” and the net cash provided by operations. As a result, at December 31, 2013 we had $454,397 current assets and $2,204,930 current liabilities mainly consisted of the $2,181,401 due to related parties and other payables and accrued liabilities. We had a working capital deficit of $1,750,533 as of December 31, 2013. Therefore, there is a liquidity risk for the coming period. Although we believe management will continue to fund the Company on an as needed basis, we do not have a written agreement requiring such funding. For the due to related party, the shareholders promised that they would not demand repayment from the Company with in next fiscal year.
We believe that our operations will provide sufficient net cash to fund our business for the next 12 months. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we had net income of $5,693,481 and cash provided by operating activities was $5,346,056. Over the long term, our expectation is to see steadily growing sales of our mushroom products as we continue to invest in and to develop our mushroom planting greenhouses, structures, and workshops, and begin to manufacture processed products such as canned mushrooms and mushroom drinks resulting from our investment in manufacturing equipment and increasing the number of categories and total quantities of our products.
Cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $5,346,056, which was primarily due to (i) net income before non-controlling interests of $5,754,149, (ii) depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and land use rights in the amount of $916,666, (iii) bad debt of $82,009, (iv) imputed interest of $299,319 and (v) a total decrease of $1,706,087 in assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $2,403,001 which was primarily due to (i) net income before non-controlling interests of $1,424,929, (ii) depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and land use rights in the amount of $736,592, (iii) bad debt of $460,530, (iv) imputed interest of $357,240 and (v) a total decrease of $576,290 in assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,878,530 for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was primarily attributable to (i) payment of $2,386,445 to a rice seed cultivation workshop contractor and (ii) payment of $492,085 paid to a land use rights seller.
Net cash used in investing activities was $3,654,684 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was primarily attributable to (i) an investment of $1,649,206 for fixed assets, (ii) an investment of $58,194 for the construction in progress to build greenhouses, and (iii) an investment of $1,947,284 for the acquisition of land use rights.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $3,120,151 for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was mainly attributable to the $3,267,139 repayment made to related parties and $146,988 advances from related parties.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,195,978 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was mainly attributable to (i) a total of $1,672,100 advances from related parties and (ii) a $476,122 payment for a short-term loan.
Impact of inflation
We are subject to commodity price risks arising from price fluctuations in the market prices of the raw materials. We have generally been able to pass on cost increases through price adjustments. However, the ability to pass on these increases depends on market conditions influenced by the overall economic conditions in China. We manage our price risks through productivity improvements and cost-containment measures. We do not believe that inflation risk is material to our business or our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Impact of foreign currency fluctuations
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. For the subsidiaries and variable interest entities whose functional currencies are the 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. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. 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 any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Financial Instruments
We have not used any financial instruments to manage funding or treasury since our inception.
Commitments for Capital Expenditures
We have no commitments for capital expenditures. For our business, we plan to obtain land use rights to more farmland and build additional greenhouses to expand our mushroom farms and increase the production of our fresh mushrooms. We have purchased, installed and tested equipment to be used in the production of dried-processed mushroom products, such as canned mushrooms and mushroom drinks. Our production of mushrooms is not sufficient to begin production of such products. We intend to begin production as soon as we purchase additional mushrooms and hire additional employees.
Research and Development
We have not incurred any research and development expenses since our inception.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure material information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2013 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the Exchange Act rules and forms due to the material weakness described below. As a result, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is identified in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, and effected by the Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
● | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
● | provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and |
● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. |
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the level of compliance with related policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making the assessment, management used the framework in “Internal Control –Integrated Framework” promulgated in 1992 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “COSO” criteria. Based on that assessment, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013 because pervasive material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Company does not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties. All of our financial reporting is carried out by our financial consultant. We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.
As a result, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation of Material Weakness
The Company intends to establish the following remediation efforts:
| Commence a process and procedure to locate, and nominate for election to the Company’s board of directors, independent directors, including at least one individual qualified to be an audit committee financial expert; |
(2) | At such time as independent directors are elected to the Company’s board of directors, establish an independent audit committee; |
(3) | Commence a process and procedure to locate and hire qualified individuals to act as Chief Financial Officer and/or Chief Accounting Officer; and |
(4) | Under the supervision of the Audit Committee and with the assistance of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer procure the resources, appoint additional personnel and establish the procedures necessary to produce Internal Controls over Financial Reporting that will be effective as evaluated under the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” promulgated in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. |
Conclusion
We believe the measures described above will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and will continue to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. We are committed to continually improving our internal control processes and will diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures are necessary to address control deficiencies. Moreover, we may decide to modify certain of the remediation measures described above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
China Liaoning Dingxu Ecological Agriculture Development, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Liaoning Dingxu Ecological Agriculture Development, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the twelve month periods then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Liaoning Dingxu Ecological Agriculture Development, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), and its reporting currency is United States dollars.
ACCOUNTING METHOD
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash balances of $11,797 and $21,245 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalent as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using moving weighted average method. Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods and growing crops. Cost of finished goods comprises direct material and direct production cost based on normal operating capacity.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method after taking into account their respective estimated residual values over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Construction in progress represents capital assets under construction or being installed and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of plant and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs prior to the date of reaching the expected usable condition. Construction in progress is transferred to the property, plant and equipment and depreciation commences when the asset has been substantially completed and reaches the expected usable condition.
LAND USE RIGHTS
The Company states land use right at cost less accumulated amortization. The land use right is amortized on straight line method during the contract period.
The Company has land use rights to 24,806 square meters of land. The term of the land use rights is 50 years, starting in March 2011. The land use right in the amount of $579,580 was fully paid during 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $11,794 and $11,620, respectively. The Company recorded the land use right net value of $566,028 and $560,664 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company has land use rights to 56,139 square meters of land. The term of the land use rights is 46 years, starting in March 2011.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $58,926 and $58,060, respectively. The Company recorded the land use right net value of $2,623,698 and $2,603,032 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company recorded the land use right net value of $2,531,925 and $2,604,566 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As the land use right was not yet fully paid for as of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded long term liabilities related to this land use right in the amount of $1,548,644 and $1,548,644 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
LONG TERM PREPAID LEASE
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease.
The Company records lease payments at cost less accumulated rent. The Company entered into a long term agreement with certain unrelated parties to rent land in 2010. The lease payments are recorded as operating lease expenses using the straight line method during the contract period of 20 years beginning at January 1, 2010. The lease payments for the entire contract period of $1,030,000 were prepaid. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded lease expense of $55,240 and $54,192, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company engages in the business of growing, producing, marketing and selling fresh mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and mushroom seeds through its affiliated VIE, LiaoNing DingXu.
The Company’s products are mainly sold to secondary wholesalers of local wholesale markets. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment from the Company’s facilities to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, ownership has passed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company’s revenue consists of the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, there were no outstanding potential common stock equivalents and therefore basic and diluted earnings per share result in the same figure.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception on September 9, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company did not issue any share-based payments for services or compensation to employees, or otherwise for the periods presented.
TAXATION
Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC where the Company operates after taking into account the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the county of operations.
The Company does not accrue United States income tax since it has no operating income in the United States. The operating subsidiary is organized and located in the PRC and does not conduct any business in the United States.
Enterprise income tax
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, as an agriculture growing enterprise, the operating subsidiary is exempted from enterprise income tax from 2010 to 2014. Accordingly, the Company statutory rate was 0% and 0% for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Value added tax
The Provisional Regulations of The PRC concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, as an agriculture growing enterprise, the Company is exempted from VAT from 2010 to 2014.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries and variable interest entities is the RMB. For the subsidiaries and variable interest entities whose functional currencies are the 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. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. 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 any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
In accordance with ASC Topic 230, 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 statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in equity of the Company during the periods presented from foreign currency translation adjustments.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions related to availability. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
| Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and |
| Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. |
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table provides a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2013:
| | | Fair Value Measurements at |
Balance as of December 31, 2013 | | | | | | | | | | |
