Reorganization

 

On June 30, 2016, the Company engaged in a corporate reorganization to roll several controlled entities (now referred to as the “subsidiaries”) into one legal corporation (the “Company”). The specific transactions related to this reorganization are outlined below. During the years presented in these financial statements, the control of the entities has never changed (always under the control of husband (Mr. QIAN Hong) and/or wife (Ms. JING Wenjia). Accordingly, the combination has been treated as a corporate restructuring (reorganization) of entities under common control, and thus the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time and in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5, the entities under common control are presented on a combined basis for all periods to which such entities were under common control. Since all of the subsidiaries were under common control for the entirety of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, the results of these subsidiaries are included in the financial statements for both periods. Non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries are related parties and thus were not adjusted to fair value as a result of the reorganization.

 

The transactions leading up to and including the reorganization are as follows:

 

On December 31, 2014, Mr. QIAN Hong was holding 100% of controlling interest of Vacances Sinorama. Mr. QIAN Hong transferred 66.67% of his controlling interest to Simon Qian Voyages. Therefore, 66.67% of Vacances Sinorama is owned by Simon Qian Voyages and 33.33% is owned by Mr. QIAN Hong.

 

On May 09, 2016 QIAN Hong transferred a 51% controlling interest of Sinorama Voyages to Sinorama Tours Co., Ltd.

 

On June 09, 2016, the sole Shareholder of Simon Qian Voyages Inc., Ms. JING Wenjia, transferred 100% controlling interest to Sinorama Tours Co., Ltd.

Upon this completion of this transaction, all the shareholders had exchanged 100% of their shares for the shares of Sinorama, Sinorama Tours become a 100% owned subsidiary of Sinorama.

 

Sinorama, Sinorama Tours, Simon Qian Voyages, Vacances Sinorama and Sinorama Voyages are collectively referred as the “Group”.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances for receivables and recoverability of carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets. These estimates are often based on complex judgments and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Reclassification

 

The comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Group’s revenues are primarily derived from sale of our self-developed products, including Bus Tour Products and Asian Tour Products. The group is also selling Third Party Products (Airline tickets/hotel, etc.). Revenue is recognized only when the persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been performed, the price is fixed or determinable, and the collectability of the related fee is reasonably assured in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, or ASC 605. Specifically, contracts are signed to establish significant terms such as the price and specific services to be provided. The Group assesses the creditworthiness of our customers prior to signing the contracts to ensure collectability is reasonably assured. Non-refundable payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer advances and deposits.

 

Bus Tour Products Sales

 

Revenues from Bus Tours are recognized when customers depart from the trips. Revenues from Bus Tour services are recognized on a gross basis, which represent amounts charged to and received from customers The Group is the primary obligor in the arrangement and bear the risks and rewards, including the customers’ acceptance of products and services delivered.

 

Asian Tour Products Sales

 

The Company recognize Asian Tour services revenues and other travel-related services such as visa processing services on the date that tours or the flights departure, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed and determinable, no significant obligations remain at the end of the period, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured as the full payment needs to be paid before flights departure.

 

Revenues from Asian Tour services are recognized on a gross basis, which represent amounts charged to and received from customers. The Group is the primary obligor in the arrangement and bear the risks and rewards, including the customers’ acceptance of products and services delivered.

 

Third Party Products Sales

 

Revenue from sales of the Third-Party Products reservations is recognized at the time of the booking of the reservation. The Third-Party Products sales are non-refundable. The Third-Party Products are normally derived from airline tickets, hotel reservations, cruises, insurance and so on. The revenue from Third Party Products was recognized on a gross basis. The Company conducts a rigorous process in selecting travel products and services before selling these products to customers and independently determines the prices charged to customers for Third Party Products Sales. The Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement and is responsible for the ultimate customer acceptance for all products and services rendered. Such commitment is also made in the contracts entered into with customers. The Company is the party retained and paid by customers. In situations of customer disputes, where the customer files a complaint or demands a refund, the Company assumes risks and responsibilities for the delivery of products and is responsible for refunding the customers their payments.

NOTE 2. SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUING)

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and bank deposits and other liquid investments, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. All highly liquid investments with original stated maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents approximates or equals fair value due to their short-term nature. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and cash in bank, including bank term deposits. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the cash on hand and cash in bank were $5,088,295 and $5,126,409, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the short-term deposits were $1,071,723 and $1,055,376, respectively, the interest rate was 0.2% to 0.50%, maturity was three months or less. Therefore, the total cash and cash equivalents, as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were $6,160,018 and $6,181,785, respectively.

 

Restricted cash

 

In accordance with the Quebec Consumer Protection Act and the Travel Agents Act, the Company is required to deposit into trust certain customer deposits until suppliers are paid for their services. The company can access the trust account only to administer it as trustee, cannot use funds from this account for personal or corporate purposes until the supplier is paid. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the restricted cash in the trust account was $1,739,682 and $2,371,212, respectively.

 

Short term investments

 

Short-term investments are comprised of investments in financial products issued by banks or other financial institutions, which contain a fixed or variable interest rate and a term to maturity of greater than 3 months but less than 12 months. Such investments are generally not permitted to be redeemed early or are subject to non-interest for redemption prior to maturity. The Company classifies these investments as held-to-maturity as it has both the positive intent and ability to hold them until maturity. These investments are classified as short-term investments based on the maturity date. The short-term investments maturities are exceeding three months. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the short-term investments were $209,926 and $210,148, respectively, the interest rate were between 0.65% to 1.5%, the maturity was exceeding three months but less than twelve months.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value for the assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that is observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

(EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)

 

There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 or level 3 measurements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Financial assets and liabilities of the Company primarily comprise of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, amount due from related parties, other receivable, accounts payable, payroll payable, amount due to related party and other payable. As at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximated to their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when the collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

 

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make payments on time. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.

 

The Company had nil bad debts for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2016.The balance of the allowance for doubtful account were nil as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Computer Equipment, Furniture & Fixtures and Office Equipment are depreciated using the declining balance depreciation method basis reflective of the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold Improvement are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the asset or the term of the related lease, as follows:

 

Computer Equipment Declining Balance Method at rate 30% per year
Furniture & Fixtures Declining Balance Method at rate 20% per year
Office Equipment Declining Balance Method at rate 20% per year
Leasehold Improvement 10 years

 

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment is capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

Functional currency and foreign currency translation

 

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, and for three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, all foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency, which is the U.S. dollars for Sinorama and Sinorama Tours, and the Canadian dollar (“Canada dollar”) for Simon Qian Voyages and Vacances Sinorama and the Euro (“€”) for Sinorama Voyages.

 

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of Simon Qian Voyages, Vacances Sinorama and Sinorama Voyages are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates set forth in the Bank of Canada at the balance sheet dates, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates set forth in the Bank of Canada for the reporting periods, and shareholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as gain or loss on foreign currency in the consolidated statements of operations, unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 2. SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUING)

 

Income taxes

 

The Company adopts FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of 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 bases 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 differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48(ASC 740-10), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (ASC 740), which requires income tax positions to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Under FIN 48(ASC 740-10), tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.

 

The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities or deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

 

The Company income tax expense was $Nil and $21,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of contracts to issue ordinary common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. The computation of diluted EPS includes the estimated impact of the exercise of contracts to purchase common stocks using the treasury stock method and the potential shares of converted common stock associated with the convertible debt using the if-converted method. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses resulting from translating Simon Qian Voyages, Vacances Sinorama and Sinorama Voyages’ functional currency, the Canadian dollar and Euro dollar to its reporting currency, U.S. dollar.

 

Segment Information and Geographic Data

 

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments.

 

The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of the Vacances Sinorama (Canada), Sinorama Voyages (France) and Sinorama Corporation (USA). Although each reportable operating segment provides similar travel products and similar services, they are managed separately to better align with the location of the Company’s customers and distribution partners and the unique market dynamics of each geographic region. The accounting policies of the various segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

 

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable operating segments based on net sales and operating income. Net sales for geographic segments are generally based on the location of customers and sales through the Company’s office located in those geographic locations. Operating income for each segment includes net sales to third parties, related cost of sales and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Advertising expenses and salaries and employee benefits are generally included in the geographic segment in which the expenditures are incurred. Operating income for each segment excludes other income and expense and certain expenses managed outside the reportable operating segments. Costs excluded from segment operating income include income taxes and foreign currency translation adjustment. The Company does not include intercompany transfers between segments for management reporting purposes.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments represent the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk. The deposits placed with financial institutions are not protected by statutory or commercial insurance. In the event of bankruptcy of one of these financial institutions, the Company may be unlikely to claim its deposits back in full. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitors the credit worthiness of these financial institutions. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base. The majority of sales are cash receipt in advance. For those credit sales, 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.

 

Recently accounting pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This accounting standard update applies to all entities and is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest- Imputation of Interest, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance in US GAAP on classification, measurement and disclosure of financial instruments. It revises an entity’s accounting related to: 1) classification and measurement of investments in equity securities; 2) presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value; and, 3) amends disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 establishes new guidance for the recording and disclosure of assets and liabilities that arise from leasing activity. ASU 2016-02 will require most lessees to record lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases on the statement of financial condition and disclose qualitative and quantitative information related to lease transactions such as variable lease payments and options to renew and terminate leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for years beginning after December 18, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating ASU 2016-02 to determine its impact, if any, on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendment in this update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, The scope of that Topic includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, the amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide more detailed guidance, including additional implementation guidance and examples in the following key areas: 1) identifying performance obligations and 2) licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 a proposed Update, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, on September 30, 2015. The amendments do not change the core principles of the standard, but clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration and certain transition matters. This update becomes effective concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard, including the transition method, to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, Income Taxes – Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU 2016-16). The standard is intended to address diversity in practice and complexity in financial reporting, particularly for intra-entity transfers of intellectual property. ASU 2016-16 will be effective for the Company beginning with the interim periods of fiscal 2018 and requires the modified retrospective method of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining timing of adoption and assessing the impact of ASU 2016-16 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU No. 2016-18”). ASU No. 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2016-18 for the reporting period ending December 31, 2016 and was applied retrospectively. As a result of adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, the Company no longer presents the changes within restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2017-01: Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). The ASU clarifies the definition of business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods with prospective application with impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements that may vary depending on each specific acquisition. Early adoption is conditionally permitted.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. Under current GAAP, entities normally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. This guidance shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

As of May 15, 2017, except for the above, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 10. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENT

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. There was no contingency of this type as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. There was no contingency of this type as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of such financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, bad debts, impairment, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable SEC regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above.

Reorganization

 

On June 30, 2016, the Company engaged in a corporate reorganization to roll several controlled entities (now referred to as the “subsidiaries”) into one legal corporation (the Company). The specific transactions related to this reorganization are outlined below. The control of the entities has never changed (always under the control of husband (Mr. QIAN Hong) and/or wife (Ms. JING Wenjia). Accordingly, the combination has been treated as a corporate restructuring (reorganization) of entities under common control, and thus the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time and in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5. The entities under common control are presented on a combined basis for all periods to which such entities were under common control. Since all of the subsidiaries were under common control of the entirety for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the results of these subsidiaries are included in the financial statements for both periods. Non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries are related parties and thus were not adjusted to fair value as a result of the reorganization.

 

The transactions leading up to and including the reorganization are as follows:

 

On December 31, 2014, Mr. QIAN Hong was holding 100% of the controlling interest of Vacances Sinorama. Mr. Hong transferred 66.67% of his controlling interest to Simon Qian Voyages. Therefore, 66.67% of Vacances Sinorama is owned by Simon Qian Voyages and 33.33% is owned by Mr. Hong.

 

On May 09, 2016, Mr. Hong transferred 51% of his controlling interest of Sinorama Voyages to Sinorama Tours Co., Ltd.

 

On June 09, 2016, the sole Shareholder of Simon Qian Voyages Inc., Ms. JING Wenjia, transferred 100% of her controlling interest to Sinorama Tours Co., Ltd.

 

On June 30, 2016, the Company issued a total of 11,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001(the Sinorama Corporation shares) to the shareholders of Sinorama Tours Co., Ltd (“Sinorama Tours”), a company which was incorporated in Samoa on June 03, 2015, in exchange for 100% of Sinorama Tours Co., Ltd shares owned by the shareholders. Upon the completion of this transaction, all the shareholders had exchanged 100% of their shares for the shares of Sinorama. Sinorama Tours became a 100% owned subsidiary of Sinorama.

 

Seasonality

 

Our quarterly results are likely to fluctuate because of seasonality in the leisure travel industry all over the world. Our business experiences fluctuations, reflecting seasonal variations in demand for leisure travel services. Sales of leisure travel products and services will increase in respect of holiday periods and decrease in respect of off-peak times and prices of leisure travel products and services are subject to fluctuation between peak seasons and low seasons. For example, we have historically experienced higher revenue from Bus Tours between May to October of the year, and lower revenue between November to April of the following year. We also have historically experienced higher revenue from Asian Tours between April to June and between September to November of the year, and lower revenue for the rest of the year, because many of our customers tend to travel during summer holidays. Consequently, our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Our rapid growth has tended to mask the seasonality of our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Management Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations relates to our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests represent the equity interest in Sinorama that is not attributable to the Company. Non-controlling interest is reported in the consolidated financial position within equity, separately from the Company’s equity and that net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss are attributable to the Company’s and the non-controlling interest.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances for receivables and recoverability of carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets. These estimates are often based on complex judgments and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Group’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of our self-developed products, including Bus Tour Products and Asian Tour Products.The Group is also selling Third Party Products (Airline tickets/hotel, etc.). Revenue is recognized only when the persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been performed, the price is fixed or determinable, and the collectability of the related fee is reasonably assured in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, or ASC 605. Specifically, contracts are signed to establish significant terms such as the price and specific services to be provided. The Group assesses the creditworthiness of our customers prior to signing the contracts to ensure collectability is reasonably assured. Non-refundable payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer advances and deposits.

 

Bus Tour Products Sales

 

Revenues from Bus Tours are recognized when customers depart from the trips. Revenues from Bus Tour services are recognized on a gross basis, which represent amounts charged to and received from customers. The Group is the primary obligor in the arrangement and bear the risks and rewards, including the customers’ acceptance of products and services delivered.

 

Asian Tour Products Sales

 

The Company recognizes Asian Tour services revenues and other travel-related services, such as visa processing services on the date that tours or the flights depart, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed and determinable, no significant obligations remain at the end of the period, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured the full payment needs to be paid before flights departure.

 

Revenues from Asian tour services are recognized on a gross basis, which represent amounts charged to and received from customers. The Group is the primary obligor in the arrangement and bear the risks and rewards, including the customers’ acceptance of products and services delivered.

 

Third Party Products Sales

 

Revenue from sales of the Third-Party Products reservations is recognized at the time of the booking of the reservation. The Third-Party Products sales are non-refundable. The Third-Party Products are normally derived from airline tickets, hotel reservations, cruises, insurance and so on. The revenue from Third Party Products was recognized on a gross basis. The Company conducts a rigorous process in selecting travel products and services before selling these products to customers and independently determines the prices charged to customers for Third Party Products Sales. The Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement and is responsible for the ultimate customer acceptance for all products and services rendered. Such commitment is also made in the contracts entered into with customers. The Company is the party retained and paid by customers. In situations of customer disputes, where the customer files a complaint or demands a refund, the Company assumes risks and responsibilities for the delivery of products and is responsible for refunding the customers their payments.

Income taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company adopts FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of 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 bases 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 differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48(ASC 740-10), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (ASC 740), which requires income tax positions to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Under FIN 48(ASC 740-10), tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.

 

The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities or deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

 

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 (ASC 740-10), the company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48 (ASC 740-10). The Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or shareholder’s equity as a result of the implementation. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company income tax expense (recovery) was $Nil and $21,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when the collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.

 

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make payments on time. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.

 

The Company had nil bad debts for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2016. The balance of the allowance for doubtful account were nil as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Computer Equipment, Furniture & Fixtures and Office Equipment are depreciated using the declining balance depreciation method basis reflective of the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold Improvement are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the asset or the term of the related lease, as follows:  

 

Computer Equipment Declining Balance Method at rate 30% per year
Furniture & Fixtures Declining Balance Method at rate 20% per year
Office Equipment Declining Balance Method at rate 20% per year
Leasehold Improvement 10 years

 

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment is capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the assets and accumulated depreciation accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translations

 

As of March 31, 2017, all foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency, which is the U.S. dollars for Sinorama and Sinorama Tours, and the Canadian dollar (“Canada dollar”) for Simon Qian Voyages and Vacances Sinorama and the Euro (“ €” ) for Sinorama Voyages.

 

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of Simon Qian Voyages, Vacances Sinorama and Sinorama Voyages are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates set forth in the Bank of Canada at the balance sheet dates, Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates set forth in the Bank of Canada for the reporting periods. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as gain or loss on foreign currency in the consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

 

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $7,899,700 of cash and cash equivalents (include restricted cash $1,739,682).

 

We are presently able to meet our obligations as they come due. As of March 31, 2017, we had non-controlling interest of $(3,719,179) and shareholders’ equity of the Company $(1,279,317).

 

We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to fund our growth, pay current obligations and future capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional funds from the public offering and/or debt financing. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern.

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased by $467,431 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Evaluations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the material information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
