GREAT CHINA INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Description of business
Great China International Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 4, 1987, under the name of Quantus Capital, Inc. The Company, through its various subsidiaries, is engaged in commercial and residential real estate leasing, management, consulting, investment, development and sales in the city of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, in the People’ Republic of China (“PRC”).
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The results of the six months periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2015
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances within the Company are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency translation
The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency - Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) and Japanese Yen, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. All assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement and statement of cash flows items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive as a component of shareholders’ equity.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and other receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company reserved $1,819,147 and $1,817,799 respectively, for other receivable bad debt, and $706,214 and $705,691, respectively, for accounts receivable bad debt. The Company also reserved $3,169,355 and $4,778,713 respectively for loans receivable as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively.
Property and equipment is being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over useful lives as follows:
| 8-26 years |
Equipment | 5 years |
Automobile | 5 years |
Office furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
6
Repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations and other comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Property and equipment are evaluated annually for any impairment in value. Where the recoverable amount of any property and equipment is determined to have declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. There were no property and equipment impairments recognized as of June 30,2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively.
Properties held for rental
Properties include buildings held for rental and land use rights, which are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over 20-26 years. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, net property held for rental amounted to $38,691,731 and $40,281,831 respectively. Accumulated depreciation of rental properties amounted to $34,994,762 as of June 30, 2015 and $33,350,033 as of December 31, 2014.
Revenue recognition
Rental income and management fee income – The Company recognizes the rental income on the straight-line basis over the terms of the tenancy agreements. The management fee, including the service fee mainly for property management, maintenance and repair, and security, is recognized quarterly over the terms of the tenancy agreements.
Other income consists of parking lot income, cleaning income and etc. This income was recognized as the services were performed and the settled amount has been paid in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, there were no outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as options, warrants or conversion rights, which would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.The basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares are 12,967,148 and 11,759,966 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Stock issuance
On March 27, 2015, the Company completed the sale of 2,300,000 shares of its common stock at a price of US$3.28 per share, or a total of $7,544,000, to two non-U.S. unrelated business entities. The Company had received all proceeds from these two entities. There are no options or warrants associated, nor conversion features embedded in this transaction.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the difference are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Concentrations of business and credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company maintains large sums of cash in one bank in United States and two major banks in China. As of June 30, 2015, the balance in US account was $7,234,385 and the aggregate balance in China accounts was $1,265,257. There is no insurance securing these deposits in China. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China.
7
The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Statement of cash flows
Cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements as the date of June 30, 2015 that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2014 financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
3. Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficit of $10,464,412 and $21,352,624 as of June 30,2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively..
The current year to date working deficit and the impacts of recurring losses in prior years have had a significant negative impact on the financial condition of the Company and raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To address this matter, the Company’s management has taken several actions to provide additional liquidity and reduce expenses going forward. These actions are described in the following paragraphs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company worked with the debtors to recover $5,628,149 of loan receivables, of which $1,608,043 was reserved with bad debt allowance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reduced the bank loans from $21,242,304 to $6,741,935. This significantly reduces the interest expenses in the future periods.
The Company is in the process of obtaining informal assurance from our current lender that our short term loans will continue to be renewed and further opening dialog with the lender to convert the short term loans to long term loans. Additionally, the Company is assessing its ability to increase rental rates for its leasing business in order to generate additional revenue. Further, the Company is continuing to focus efforts on cost containment to reduce general and administrative expenses. With its relevant hands-on expertise, the Company also plans to expand operations to include property management.
The Company recorded a net income of $1,567,580 and a positive cash flow for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, that will fund Company operations through the remainder of 2015 as a result of collecting on a loan written off as a bad debt in an earlier period
Management will continue to review all aspects of the business in an effort to improve cash flow and reduce costs and expenses in recurring basis, while continuing to invest, to the extent possible, in new business development for future revenue streams.
Management will also continue to seek additional working capital through debt and equity financing, but there are no assurances that such financings will be available at all, or on terms acceptable to the Company.
Management believes that through the actions to date and possible future actions described above, the Company should have the necessary liquidity to continue its operations at least for the next twelve months, though no assurances can be made in this regard based on uncertainties with respect to the Company’s new revenue streams and the recovery of loan receivables discussed above. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if the Company were unable to do so.
4. Loans receivable
The company entered into series of collateralized loan agreements with third parties from 2009, the total loan receivable is $0 and $4,029,269 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
8
During 2011, the Company entered into a collateralized loan agreement with Beijing Sihai Real Estate Development Ltd.(Sihai), due on November 29, 2013, and then resigned the agreement at the same terms due on November 29, 2015. The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period plus 10%. During 2011 to 2015, the Company loaned more money to Sihai through reassigned the agreement and also received part of loan payment from Sihai. As of June 30, 2015, the balance of loan capital was $2,766,129.

Revenues decreased by $158,416 or 3.8% from $4,134,091 for the first half year of 2014 to $3,975,675 for the same period of 2015. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in rental income by $177,383 or 5.8% from $3,069,577 for the first half year of 2014 to $2,892,194 for the same period of 2015 due to more vacancies in our rental properties.

Selling expenses decreased by $3,575 or 20.7% from $17,247 for the first half year of 2014 to $13,672 for the same period of 2015. This decrease mainly attributes to a decrease in bonuses for employees.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $104,909 or 12.7% from $828,613 for the first half year of 2014 to $723,704 for the same period of 2015. The decrease is mainly because the Company strengthened controlling of running expenses payment,

Other income, net decreased by $60,554 from $252,086 for the first half year of 2014 to $191,532 for the same period of 2015.
Cash Flow Discussion
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the first half year of 2015 and 2014 were $1,323,513 and $910,831, respectively. The increase in net operating activities cash flow amounted to $412,682 or 45.3%, which is due primarily to the below factors:
● | The Company received in advance more cash from tenants, which increased by $163,588 or 67.6% for the first half year of 2015 compared with the same period of 2014; |
● | The accounts receivable and other receivable increased by $47,575 or 21% for the first half year of 2015 compared with the same period of 2014 due to the Company collected more cash from the customers . |

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $1,108,769 and $0 for the first half year of 2015 and 2014, respectively. In 2015 the Company made a bank loan repayment $ 14,472,384 (RMB 90,000,000) to the bank in March and June of 2015 which was substantially offset by the Company’s collection of a loan with a third party in the amount of $5,628,149(RMB 35,000,000) and the proceeds realized by the Company on the sale of common stock for $7,544,000 and a third party investment of $191,466 in the Company’s consumer products joint venture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $10,464,412 as of June 30,2015. The Short Term Loans amounted to $6,741,935 (RMB 41,800,000), and accounted for about 64.4% of the working capital deficit. In March and June 2015, the Company repaid US$14,472,384 (RMB 90,000,000), leaving a remaining principal of US$ 6,741,935 (RMB 41,800,000). The rest of the Short Term Loan is due in June 2016 and October 2015, and is secured by the Company’s real estate assets. It has become common practice in China, for banks and companies to renegotiate loan extensions on an annual basis. This is driven by the ever changing banking regulatory environment and a situation where banks are becoming more conservative. Under the circumstances, most lending banks have usually worked closely with borrowers for loan extension or restructuring within the administrative guidelines of the government. As State policies are issued outside the control of the banks in China and form part of the macro and micro-economic measures, many bankers and their customers work together to deal with the situation provided the borrowers are responsible.

Critical accounting policies
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency translation
The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency - Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) and Japanese Yen, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. All assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement and statement of cash flows items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive as a component of shareholders’ equity.
13
Cash and cash equivalents

Property and equipment

Buildings | 8-26 years |
Equipment | 5 years |
Automobile | 5 years |
Office furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations and other comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Property and equipment are evaluated annually for any impairment in value. Where the recoverable amount of any property and equipment is determined to have declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. There were no property and equipment impairments recognized as of June 30,2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively.
Properties held for rental

Earnings (loss) per share

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, there were no outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as options, warrants or conversion rights, which would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.The basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares are 12,967,148 and 11,759,966 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the difference are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Concentrations of business and credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company maintains large sums of cash in one bank in United States and two major banks in China. As of June 30, 2015, the balance in United States account was $7,234,385 and the aggregate balance in China accounts was $1,265,257. There is no insurance securing these deposits in China. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China.
The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Statement of cash flows
Cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting pronouncements
