CHINA XINGBANG INDUSTRY GROUP INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated group financial statements of China Xingbang Industry Group Inc. ("China Xingbang" or the “Company”), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (collectively the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete audited financial statements. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts set out in the condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in US Dollars.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2015, the results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s operations resulted in a net loss of $4,705,997 and used cash in operations of $4,182,706 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had an unappropriated accumulated deficit of $13,206,439 and a working capital deficiency of $12,833,447.
In the course of its development activities, the Company continues to sustain losses. The Company expects to finance its operations primarily through capital contributions from stockholders and its affiliates. The Company borrowed from related companies a net amount of $4,282,567 during the first and second quarters of 2015, and the related parties agreed to lend more funds to the Company as needed for management to execute its business plan for at least the next twelve months.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required until such time as it can generate sources of recurring revenues and to ultimately attain profitability when the Company’s e-commerce business is fully developed. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on April 12, 2011 as a holding company.
Xing Bang Industry Group Limited (“Xingbang BVI”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on March 24, 2011 as a holding company and is wholly owned by China Xingbang.
China Group Purchase Alliance Limited (“Xingbang HK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on August 5, 2008 as a holding company and is wholly owned by Xingbang BVI. Xingbang HK established Guangzhou Xingbang Information Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign owned enterprise (the “WFOE”), on May 12, 2011 in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) to provide consulting, investment and technical services to Guangdong Xingbang Industry Information & Media Co., Ltd. (“Guangdong Xingbang”).
Guangdong Xingbang was incorporated in the PRC on January 17, 2005 as a limited liability company. Guangdong Xingbang is a print media advertising operator serving the home furnishing industry in the PRC. Guangdong Xingbang also provides marketing consulting service to clients in the home furnishing industry and local government in the PRC. Starting from August 2011, Guangdong Xingbang began to provide e-commerce services, namely B2B2C (Business-to-Business-to-Consumer), to manufacturers and distributors, and brick-and-mortar stores located in different parts of the PRC through an e-commerce platform, referred to as ju51 Mall, developed by Guangdong Xingbang.
Xinyu Xingbang Information Industry Co., Ltd (“Xinyu Xingbang”) was incorporated in the PRC on June 11, 2012 and took over business operations of Guangdong Xingbang. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of Xinyu Xingbang, Guangdong Xingbang and the WFOE each invested $787,030 (RMB 5,000,000) in Xinyu Xingbang and each owns 50% of the equity interest of Xinyu Xingbang. Under the Xinyu Xingbang Articles of Association, the WFOE is entitled to appoint the sole director and all members of the management team of Xinyu Xingbang and the WFOE is entitled to receive 99.99% of Xinyu Xingbang’s net profit. Based on the relevant PRC regulations, an Internet Content Provider license, or ICP license, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is required for Xinyu Xingbang to conduct business as currently contemplated. In order to be granted the ICP license, foreign investor’s ownership of Xinyu Xingbang cannot exceed 50%. Xinyu Xingbang obtained its ICP license in February 2013. Guangdong Xingbang will gradually wind down its operations and Xinyu Xingbang will carry out Guangdong Xingbang’s business except that Guangdong Xingbang will fulfill its contractual obligations under the existing customer contracts. On June 30, 2012, Guangdong Xingbang granted an exclusive license to Xinyu Xingbang to permit Xinyu Xingbang to use the trademark, domain names, intellectual property rights and any know-how Guangdong Xingbang owns for the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2022. Guangdong Xingbang also assigned the management right and right to receive revenue from the ju51 Mall to Xinyu Xingbang. Guangdong Xingbang will continue its corporate existence to hold the equity interest in Xinyu Xingbang for the same period.
Pursuant to (i) a series of contractual arrangements between the WFOE, Guangdong Xingbang and all the stockholders of Guangdong Xingbang, (ii) the share exchange agreement between China Xingbang, Xingbang BVI and all the stockholders of Xingbang BVI, and (iii) the WFOE’s 50% equity ownership of Xinyu Xingbang, the results of all these entities are consolidated together. Since they are under common control, the contractual arrangements and share exchange were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control.
The Company accounts for its VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which a company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company assesses all newly created entities and those with which the Company becomes involved to determine whether such entities are VIEs and, if so, whether or not the Company is their primary beneficiary.
As required by ASC 810-10, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the Company remains the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Xingbang, which also owns 50% of Xinyu Xingbang. A qualitative assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The Company’s assessment on the involvement with Guangdong Xingbang reveals that the Company has the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of Guangdong Xingbang. Under the accounting guidance, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Xingbang and the results of Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang are consolidated in the Company’s group financial statements for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has no equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang; none of the Company’s assets serve as collateral for Guangdong Xingbang; creditors of Guangdong Xingbang have no recourse to the Company; and the Company has not provided any guarantees to Guangdong Xingbang.
The assets and liabilities associated with Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang are combined and presented on a gross basis, prior to consolidation adjustments with other entities in the Group, and are as follows:
| | As of June 30, 2015 | | | As of December 31, 2014 | |
| | (Unaudited) | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 26,547 | | | $ | 137,870 | |

Due to related companies | | | 9,488,615 | | | | 5,173,317 | |
Total current liabilities | | | 13,745,092 | | | | 8,010,717 | |

Total liabilities and deficit | | $ | 3,656,486 | | | $ | 2,514,725 | |
In 2011, the Company agreed to waive the management fee payable by Guangdong Xingbang for a period of 3 years from May 13, 2011 to May 12, 2014 in order for Guangdong Xingbang to preserve enough cash to fund its e-commerce business. In 2014, the Company agreed to extend the waiver of management fee payable by Guangdong Xingbang for an additional 3 years from May 13, 2014 to May 12, 2017.
The liabilities recognized as a result of combining the VIEs do not necessarily represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the combined VIEs. Conversely, assets recognized as a result of combining the VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims by the Company’s creditors as they are not legally included within the Company’s general assets.
Immediately prior to the PRC restructuring transactions that were completed on May 13, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his spouse controlled Guangdong Xingbang as they owned 90% and 10% respectively, of its registered capital. The Chief Executive Officer also indirectly controlled WFOE as he owned 56.25% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI, the sole stockholder of WFOE. As WFOE and Guangdong Xingbang are under common control, the contractual arrangements have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the Group’s financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
Share exchange
On May 13, 2011, China Xingbang entered into a share exchange agreement with Xingbang BVI and the stockholders of Xingbang BVI in which the stockholders of Xingbang BVI exchanged 100% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI, valued at $80,000, for 79,999,000 shares of common stock of China Xingbang. Xingbang BVI became a wholly owned subsidiary of China Xingbang. Prior to the share exchange, the sole stockholder of China Xingbang owned 56.25% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI. As both companies are under common control, the share exchange involving China Xingbang and Xingbang BVI is being treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and a reorganization of entities under common control with China Xingbang as the accounting acquirer and Xingbang BVI as the accounting acquiree. The consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
Accordingly, these group financial statements include the following:
1. | The balance sheets consisting of the net assets of the acquirer and acquiree at historical cost; and |
| |
2. | The statement of operations including the operations of the acquirer and acquiree for the periods presented. |
NOTE 4 | PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION |
The accompanying group financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include the financial statements of China Xingbang, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI, Xingbang HK and the WFOE, its contractually controlled affiliate, Guangdong Xingbang, and Xinyu Xingbang which is 50% owned by Guangdong Xingbang and 50% owned by WFOE.
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated group financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the group financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 6 | THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited; however on July 9, 2015, FASB decided to defer by one year the effective dates. As a result, the standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, management does not believe that it met conditions which would make the Company's financial statements for this period be subject to additional disclosure requirements.
In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new consolidation standard changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed, including early adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity may apply a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company is in process of assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Appropriated retained earnings
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to make appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve at 10% of the after-tax net income annually until the total contributions equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital. The statutory reserve funds are restricted for use to set off against prior period losses, expansion of production and operations or for the increase in the registered capital of the respective companies.

Overview and Strategy
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires or is otherwise specified, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar expressions include the following entities (as defined herein):
(i) China Xingbang Industry Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“China Xingbang”);
(ii) Xing Bang Industry Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Xingbang (“Xingbang BVI”);
(iii) China Group Purchase Alliance Limited, a Hong Kong company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingbang BVI (“Xingbang HK”);
(iv) Guangzhou Xingbang Information Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, or the “WFOE”, formed in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingbang HK;
(v) Guangdong Xingbang Industry Information & Media Co. Ltd., our principal operating subsidiary, which is a Chinese variable interest entity that the WFOE controls through certain contractual arrangements (“Guangdong Xingbang”); and
(vi) Xinyu Xingbang Information Industry Co., Ltd., an entity incorporated in the PRC which the WFOE and Guangdong Xingbang each owns 50% of its equity interest, (“Xinyu Xingbang”). Xinyu Xingbang will continue the business of Guangdong Xingbang.
Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI and Xingbang HK, we own the WFOE, which controls Guangdong Xingbang, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), through a series of variable interest entity, or VIE contractual arrangements. Guangdong Xingbang is currently our source of income and operations. A summary of our business is described below.
We were formed as a Nevada corporation on April 12, 2011 to acquire operational control over Guangdong Xingbang. Since foreign investors are restricted by the laws and regulations of the PRC to operate media and e-commerce business in China, we operate our business through ownership of the WFOE that provides management, consulting, investment and technical services to Guangdong Xingbang. We do not own any direct equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang. In May 2011, the WFOE entered into a series of contractual arrangements which effectively give the WFOE operational control over Guangdong Xingbang despite the lack of direct ownership. As a result of these contractual arrangements, we treat Guangdong Xingbang as a variable interest entity, or VIE, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and we have included its historical financial results in our consolidated financial statements.
Our subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI and Xingbang HK are holding companies which do not have any operations or own any assets except for the ownership of the WFOE. The only current operation of the WFOE is to provide consulting and management services to Guangdong Xingbang. Guangdong Xingbang was founded in 2005 as a print-media based advertising operator and consulting services provider. On December 31, 2013, Guangdong Xingbang ceased all of its business operations except certain administrative functions.
Xinyu Xingbang was incorporated in the PRC in June 2012 and took over the business of Guangdong Xingbang as of December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the Articles of Associations of Xinyu Xingbang, Guangdong Xingbang and the WFOE each invested $787,030 (RMB 5,000,000) in Xinyu Xingbang and each owns 50% of the equity interest of Xinyu Xingbang. Under the Xinyu Xingbang Articles of Association, the WFOE is entitled to appoint the sole director and all members of the management team of Xinyu Xingbang and the WFOE is entitled to receive 99.99% of Xinyu Xingbang’s net profit. Based on the relevant PRC regulations, an Internet Content Provider license, or ICP license, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is required for Xinyu Xingbang to conduct business as currently contemplated. In order to be granted the ICP license, foreign investor’s ownership of Xinyu Xingbang cannot exceed 50%. Xinyu Xingbang obtained its ICP license in February 2013. Guangdong Xingbang will gradually wind down its operations and Xinyu Xingbang will carry out Guangdong Xingbang’s business except that Guangdong Xingbang will fulfill its contractual obligations under the existing customer contracts. On June 30, 2012, Guangdong Xingbang granted an exclusive license to Xinyu Xingbang to permit Xinyu Xingbang to use trademark, domain names, intellectual property rights and any know-how Guangdong Xingbang owns for the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2022. Guangdong Xingbang also assigned the management right and right to receive revenue from the ju51 Mall to Xinyu Xingbang. Guangdong Xingbang will continue its corporate existence to hold the equity interest in Xinyu Xingbang for the same period. Currently we derive all of our revenues from Xinyu Xingbang.
Below is our updated organizational structure after the incorporation of Xinyu Xingbang.
We intend to provide an extensive e-commerce platform to provide value added services to manufacturers, distributors, retailers, decoration companies, and decoration technicians in the home furnishing industry while serving consumers through the ju51 Mall. “Ju51” sounds similar to the Chinese words of “juwu you,” which means “worry-free living” in Mandarin. When fully constructed, the ju51 Mall is expected to have ten marketplaces targeting ten sectors in the home furnishing industry, including light and lighting, bath and kitchen supplies, hardware, home textiles, residential furniture, office furniture, tiles, floor, doors and windows, home appliances, interior painting and home décor and security monitoring system. Since its launch in August 2011, we explored different business strategies to maximize revenue generation through the ju51 Mall. As of June 30, 2015, we have two types of flagship stores in the Ju51 Mall, i.e. product flagship stores and service flagship stores. As of June 30, 2015, we generated revenue from three streams, namely, (i) sales of furniture to showrooms, (ii) franchise fees from the service flagship stores on Ju51 Mall and (iii) fees received from technical service stations.
Product flagship stores
We expect to receive franchise fee from manufacturers in the home furnishing industry when they open product flagship stores in the Ju51 Mall and sales of furniture on Ju51 Mall. As of June 30, 2015, there were an aggregate of 343 product flagship stores. We received commission from the sales by these product flagship stores. In order to attract more manufacturers to open product flagship stores on the Ju51 Mall, we decided to waive the franchise fee from the product flagship stores until the end of 2015.
Service flagship stores
Ju51 Mall also provides a platform for service flagship stores such as interior designers to list their company information and allow customers to reach out to each of them directly. Businesses are required to have their own physical stores prior to be franchised as service flagship stores in the platform. Each store shall pay a franchise fee of RMB2,000 for 1-2 years of franchise. As of June 30, 2015, there were 1,458 businesses as service flagship stores.
Technical Service Stations
Technical service stations are primarily operated by brick-and-mortar retailers and decoration companies which have physical stores. A technical service station acts as a shopping guide and provides product support and services. When a consumer places orders online directly with flagship stores, the technical service station located closest to the consumer will receive the order simultaneously and provide product support and services, such as returns, exchanges, refunds and installation, through its own brick-and-mortar store. The reason for having technical service stations as shopping guides is to address the Chinese consumers’ concern about return or exchange of products ordered online. Generally we only develop one technical service station within a county or a district of a city to protect their economic interest. We currently intend to have the technical service stations act as distributors and promote our services in local markets. Customers may avoid paying the shipping fees by picking up the product at a local technical service station. In addition to technical service stations, we also intend to have decoration technicians to act as shopping guides to help increase sales volume in the ju51 Mall. Xinyu Zhongxing Decoration Technicians Network Company Limited, (“Zhongxing Decoration”), an entity which is 80% owned by Mr. Xiao Hong Yao (“ Mr. Yao”), our Chairman of the Board, CEO and 20% owned by his spouse, founded a web portal named China Decoration Technician at http://www.zgzxjg.com, which is intended to review and certify decoration technicians. Customers placing orders through the decoration technicians will enjoy special discounts compared to the retail price listed on the ju51 Mall. We also expect to develop different categories of Ju51 Mall memberships where the members will enjoy special discounts in order to promote sales in the ju51 Mall. A technical service station can earn commission as a percentage of the retail price, and the technical service station is related to the e-commerce platform. A decoration technician will also earn commissions, paid by flagship stores, based on a percentage of the amount he or she sells as a shopping guide. Our business model is designed to make sure consumers will receive quality products and services and have a quality shopping experience at the ju51 Mall. We expect the current business model will keep retail prices at the ju51 Mall at a competitive level.
We had an agency agreement with Zhongxing Decoration. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, Zhongxing Decoration agreed to identify appropriate candidate to serve as technical service station. We were obligated to pay Zhongxing Decoration a commission of 5% of the sales closed by flagship stores on Ju51 Mall, 100% of the technical service station annual fee, and a commission of 10% of the franchise annual fee. Starting from January 2015, in order to have a more direct cooperation with technical service stations, Xinyu Xingbang, Zhongxing Decoration and technical service stations entered into certain three party agreements pursuant to which Zhongxing Decoration shall no longer act as the middle person, allowing Xinyu Xingbang to directly enter into cooperation agreement with technical service stations.
Xinyu Xingbang entered into cooperation agreements with technical service stations since January 2015. Xinyu Xingbang is entitled to receive from the technical service stations a service charge of RMB10,000 for one year of training and guidance service to technical service stations. As of June 30, 2015, we have 12 technical service stations.
Advertising services through e-commerce platform
Since 2014, we started to promote a Media Integrated Advertising Communication Package at a flat fee, ranging from RMB50,000 to RMB500,000 depending on the broadcasting frequency. As of June 30, 2015, we did not generate any revenue and management is evaluating the original business plan to consider possible changes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated group financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting, recognition and disclosure of our assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues and expenses. We make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent upon future events, which cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or cannot be readily calculated based upon generally accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult and therefore require a significant amount of judgment. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated group financial statements.
During the six months ended June, 2015, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and demand deposits at banks.

The decrease in our cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 was largely attributable to the combined effect of net cash used in operating activities increased by $2,905,079, payments for purchase of property and equipment increased by $67,338, offset by net advances from related companies increased by $2,382,530 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
We require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, salaries, commissions and related benefits and other operating expenses and income taxes. We expect that our working capital needs will increase for the foreseeable future, as we continue to develop and grow our business. See “Business — General” in our 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2015. For the second to fourth quarter of 2015, we are estimating a cash inflow of approximately $4.4 million and an outflow of approximately $4.2 million as we are starting to generate revenue from e-commerce platform.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:
| | Six months ended June 30, | |

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $4,182,706 and $1,277,627 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively. The most significant items affecting the comparison of our operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized below:
| ● | Increase in cash loss from operations - Our net loss from operations, excluding depreciation, and (loss) gain on disposal of property and equipment, increased by $3,428,563 on a period-to-period basis, from cash loss of $1,190,766 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to cash loss of $4,619,329 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which negatively impacted our cash flows from operations. The increase in cash loss from operations was mainly due to the increase in cost of revenue, information technology expenses, advertising expenses and staff costs in the first half year in 2015 compared to the same period last year. |
| ● | Increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets - Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $946,895 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and increased by $78,008 for the same period in 2014. Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of prepaid information technology expenses and advertising expenses, rental and other deposits and advances to staff. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was mainly due to increase in prepaid information technology expenses and advertising expenses. |
| ● | Increase in other payables and accrued expenses - Other payables and accrued expenses increased by $1,367,117 for the first two quarters in 2015, and decreased by $8,853 for the same period in 2014. Other payables and accrued expenses consisted of other tax payables, accrued expenses, deposits received from customers, other payables and accrued wages. The increase in other payables and accrued expenses was due to increase in deposits received from customers and accrued expenses. |
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Our investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 used cash of $210,733 and $139,899 respectively. The net increase in cash used in investing activities was mainly due to increase in purchase of property and equipment of $67,338.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $4,282,567 and $1,765,802 respectively. The net increase was mainly due to the increase in advances from related companies for $2,382,530.
Capital Resources
We had negative working capital of $12,833,448 as of June 30, 2015 and $7,982,920 as of December 31, 2014. The reason for the increase in negative working capital from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the increase in amounts due to related companies and prepaid expenses and other current assets and continuous loss for the period.
Under the VIEs’ agreements, Guangdong Xingbang shall pay the WFOE a consulting service fee, payable in RMB each quarter, equivalent to all of its net income for such quarter based on its quarterly financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC. The WFOE then may transfer the cash payment to the offshore holding companies (Xingbang HK, Xingbang BVI and China Xingbang) via dividend payment, after deduction of relevant taxes. If we obtain funds through financing in the US, Xingbang HK may invest in the WFOE. It is generally prohibited for PRC resident enterprises, including foreign owned entities, to make inter-company loans. However, management believes it is in compliance with the current PRC law for the WFOE to deposit the funds into a PRC bank account and request the PRC bank to lend the funds to Guangdong Xingbang, and may use such means to obtain capital funding in the future.
We are a holding company with no significant revenue-generating operations of our own, and thus any cash flows from operations are and will be generated by Guangdong Xingbang through our WFOE’s existing consulting service management arrangement with Guangdong Xingbang. Our ability to service our debt and fund our ongoing operations is dependent on the results of these operations and their ability to provide us with cash. The WFOE’s ability to make loans or pay dividends are restricted under PRC law and may be restricted under the terms of future indebtedness, its governing documents or other agreements. With the cash on hand and the anticipated cash to be received from our operations, we may not be able to generate enough cash to support the expansion of the business operations. However, the Guangdong Xingbang’s Stockholders are committed to provide cash as needed to support the Company’s ongoing operations and continued growth. Therefore, we believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to enable us to meet our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
Nonetheless, our liquidity and capital position could be adversely affected by:
| ● | continued failure to generate sufficient revenue in the e-commerce business; |
| | |
| ● | the enactment of new laws and regulations; |
| ● | our inability to grow our business as we anticipate by expanding our revamped e-commerce business; |
| | |
| ● | any other changes in the cost structure of our underlying business model; and |
| | |
| ● | any of the other risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited; however on July 9, 2015, FASB decided to defer by one year the effective dates. As a result, the standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, management does not believe that it met conditions which would make the Company's financial statements for this period be subject to additional disclosure requirements.
In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The new consolidation standard changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is allowed, including early adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity may apply a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2015 and has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015 due to certain material weaknesses, including: (i) a lack of sufficient accounting personnel with appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; and (ii) a lack of standard charter of accounts and written accounting manual and closing procedures to facilitate preparation of financial statements under U.S. GAAP for financial reporting processes. As a result of such material weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls.
Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
