CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ended SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016 (IN U.S. $)

 

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Trade Link Wholesalers, Inc. (“Trade Link”), was incorporated on December 22, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On April 4, 2011, the Board of Directors of Trade Link filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Nevada to effect the name change from Trade Link to China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc.

 

On January 28, 2011, Trade Link entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among (i) Value Development Holdings, Ltd. (“Value Development”), a British Virgin Islands company, (“BVI”) (ii) Value Development’s stockholders, (iii) Trade Link, and (iv) Trade Link’s principal stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Value Development and the Value Development stockholders transferred to Trade Link all of the shares of Value Development in exchange for the issuance of 35,998,000 shares of Trade Link’s common stock as set forth in the Exchange Agreement, so that the Value Development stockholders owned 87.80% of Trade Link’s outstanding shares (the “Share Exchange”).

 

On January 28, 2011, Value Development through its wholly subsidiaries, Value Development Group Limited completed the acquisition of Harbin Jiasheng Consulting Managerial Co. Ltd. (“Jiasheng Consulting” or “WFOE”), a holding company. Jiasheng Consulting has Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) agreements with Mr. Liu Zhengxin, the Company’s Chief HR Officer, and Mr. Wang Youliang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as well as with Heilongjiang Zhongxian Information Co., Ltd. (“Zhongxian Information”). Mr. Zhengxin holds a 62% equity interest in Zhongxian Information and Mr. Youliang holds a 38% equity interest in Zhongxian Information. Pursuant to the VIE agreement signed by Mr. Zhengxin and Mr. Youliang, Jiasheng Consulting now controls and performs all management responsibilities for Zhongxian Information. The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including a shareholder voting rights proxy agreement, exclusive consulting and service agreement, exclusive call option agreement and equity pledge agreement, through which Jiasheng Consulting has the right to provide exclusive and complete business support and technical and consulting services to Zhongxian Information for an annual fee in the amount of Zhongxian Information’s yearly net profits after tax. Additionally, Zhongxian Information’s stockholders have pledged their rights, title and equity interests in Zhongxian Information as security for the collection of consulting and service fees provided through an Equity Pledge Agreement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ended SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016 (IN U.S. $)

 

 

1. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

 

In order to further reinforce Jiasheng Consulting’s rights to control and operate Zhongxian Information, the stockholders of Zhongxian Information have granted Jiasheng Consulting the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Zhongxian Information through an Exclusive Option Agreement.

 

The exchange agreement transaction constituted a reverse takeover transaction. Accordingly, reverse takeover accounting was adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. (the legal acquirer), but are a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Value Development (the accounting acquirer) and the VIE its subsidiaries. Before and after the Share Exchange, Value Development, Value Development Group Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Value Development), Jiasheng Consulting, and Zhongxian Information and their 99% owned subsidiary, Heilongjiang Xinhua Cattle Industry Co., Ltd. (“Xinhua Cattle”) were under common control. Therefore, the reorganization was effectively a legal recapitalization accounted for as transactions between entities under common control at the carry over basis, in a manner similar to pooling-of-interests accounting.

 

Zhongxian Information and Xinhua Cattle are engaged in the acquisition, breeding and rearing of dairy cows, and production and sale of fresh milk to manufacturing and distribution companies. Zhongxian Information was established in China in January 2005 with registered capital of 10 million Renminbi (“RMB”). In February 2006, it acquired 99% of the registered capital of Xinhua Cattle, which was established in China in December 2005 with registered capital of three million RMB. Xinhua Cattle had no significant activities and its cost approximated the fair value at the date of acquisition.

 

On November 23, 2011, Zhongxian Information acquired 100% of the equity interest of Shangzhi Yulong Co., Ltd. (“Yulong”) from Yulong’s original stockholders for consideration of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and cash consideration of $4,396,000.

 

Yulong was a privately held company in China engaged in the acquisition, breeding and rearing of dairy cows, and production and sale of fresh milk to manufacturing and distribution companies.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the financial statements of China Modern Agricultural Information, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Hope Diary, China Dairy (Hope Diary’s 53.07% owned subsidiary), Value Development, Value Development Group Limited, Jiasheng Consulting, and, Zhongxian Information and Zhongxian Information’s 99% owned subsidiary, Xinhua Cattle and its 100% owned subsidiary, Yulong. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2017 and for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the SEC which apply to interim financial statements.

 

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, previously filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the interim information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Variable Interest Entity

 

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), the Company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements the financial statements of its VIE’s. ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

 

Zhongxian Information and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Chinese VIE”) have no assets that are collateral for or restricted solely to settle their obligations. The creditors of the Chinese VIE and its subsidiaries do not have recourse to the Company’s general credit. Because Value Development, Value Development Group Limited and Jiasheng Consulting are established for the sole purpose of holding ownership interest and do not have any operations, the financial statement amounts and balances are principally those of the Chinese VIE and its subsidiaries.

 

Under ASC 810, an enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the enterprise has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company’s determination of whether it has this power is not affected by the existence of kick-out rights or participating rights, unless a single enterprise, including its related parties and de facto agents, has the unilateral ability to exercise those rights. The Chinese VIE’s actual stockholders do not hold any kick-out rights that will affect the consolidation determination.

 

On September 16, 2015 the VIE structure was terminated when Jiasheng Consulting exercised its option to purchase all of the registered equity of Zhongxian Information. Jiasheng Consulting became the sole owner of Zhongxian Information.

Foreign Currency Translations

 

All Company assets are located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company uses the United States dollar (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into US dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Statements of income and other comprehensive income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are recorded as other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB and Australian dollars (the “A$”) into US dollars for preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Foreign Currency Translations (continued)

 

Foreign currency translation adjustments of $3,830,708 and $(248,988), respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, have been reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) of the Company consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments. Pursuant to ASC 740-30-25-17, “Exceptions to Comprehensive Recognition of Deferred Income Taxes,” the Company does not recognize deferred U.S. taxes related to the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, recognizes no income tax expense or benefit from foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Although government regulations now allow convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that the RMB could be converted into US dollars at that rate or any other rate.

 

The value of the RMB against the US dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of the RMB could materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition in terms of US dollar reporting.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s primary sources of revenues are derived from (a) sale of fresh milk to Chinese manufacturing and distribution companies of dairy products and (b) commissions from local farmers on their monthly milk sales. The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with FASB ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” Revenues from the sale of goods are recognized when the goods are delivered and the title is transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

Milk sales revenue is recognized when the title has been passed to the customers, which is the date when the milk is delivered to designated locations and accepted by the customers and the previously discussed requirements are met. Fresh milk is delivered to its customers on a daily basis. The customers’ acceptance occurs upon inspection of the quality and measurement of quantity at the time of delivery. The Company does not provide the customer with the right of return. Sales commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based on monthly sales reports received.

 

Vulnerability Due to Operations in PRC

 

The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than twenty years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 

  Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
  Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
  Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented at fair value on a recurring basis. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, interest receivable, accrued expenses, and other payables, and stockholder loans, approximated their fair values due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of notes receivable is valued at their net realizable value which approximates the fair value. There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs are $44,358 and $120,788, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, comprised principally of livestock feed, are valued at the lower of cost or market value. The value of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method.

 

The Company estimates an inventory allowance for excessive or unusable inventories. Inventory amounts are reported net of such allowances if any. There was no allowance for excessive or unusable inventories as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses as of September 30, 2017 mainly represent the prepayments of approximately $6,512,000 for prepaid cow insurance expenses and R&D expenses. Prepaid expenses as of June 30, 2017 mainly represent the prepayment of approximately $1,375,000 for prepaid cow insurance expenses.

 

Prepaid Land Leases

 

Prepaid land leases represent the prepayment for grassland rental (see Note 7).

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts if required. Receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses when necessary resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances where 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 payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. The Company has 30 days credit term for its milk sales and usually receives the payment in the following month. The Company considers all accounts receivable at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, to be fully collectible and, therefore, did not provide an allowance for doubtful accounts. For the periods presented, the Company did not write off any accounts receivable as bad debts.

 

On June 29, 2017, Xinhua Cattle entered into agreement with Longing Xiandai Farm (“Longing”) to purchase 4,000 adult cows at RMB 15,000 (approximately $2,255) per cow for a total price of RMB 60,000,000 (approximately $9,018,000). The purchase price was fully paid on the date of the delivery of the cows. Xinha Cattle immediately transfers all the cows to the 13 local farmers that entered agreement with prior for a total consideration of RMB68,000,000 (approximately $10,220,400). In October 2017, the sales of cows to the 13 farmers was terminated and all the cows were returned to Xinhua Cattle due to omasum impaction. As a result, Xinha Cattle will have to pay a total of RMB27,600,000 (approximately $4,140,000) as reimbursement to farmers. Xinhua Cattle then entered into agreement with Longing, the seller of the cows, to return all the cows to Longing for a return of the full purchase amount of RMB60,000,000 (approximately $9,018,000) that was paid by Xinhua Cattle. The transactions, as well as the reimbursement that payable to farmers had been properly reflected on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. (Also see Note 12).

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the asset, including capitalized interest during the construction period, and any expenditures that substantially increase the assets value or extends the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the periods benefited. Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives for property, plant and equipment categories are as follows:

 

  Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years
  Automobiles 4 to 10 years
  Building and building improvements 10 to 20 years
  Leasehold improvements Lesser of the remaining term or useful life

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets. In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company may recognize an impairment of a long-lived asset in the event the net book value of such asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Biological Assets

 

Biological assets consist of dairy cows for milking purposes and breeding.

 

Immature Biological Assets

 

Immature biological assets are recorded at cost, including acquisition costs, transportation costs, insurance expenses, and feeding costs, incurred in raising the cows. Once the cow is able to produce milk, the cost of the immature biological asset is transferred to mature biological assets using the weighted average cost method.

 

Mature Biological Assets

 

Mature biological assets are recorded at their original purchase price or the weighted average immature biological asset transfer cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of eight years using the straight-line method. The estimated residual value is 10%. Feeding and management costs incurred on mature biological assets are included as cost of goods sold. When biological assets, including male cows, are retired or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of business, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss will be included in the results of operations for the respective period. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, a loss of $330,992, on the sale of the adult cows is included in non-operating income (expenses) in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. (See Note 5)

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its biological assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected from their use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current health status and production capacity. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate principally to the undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiary under PRC law. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, undistributed earnings allocated to Zhongxian Information were approximately $241,900,000 and $224,700,000, respectively.

 

ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company does not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions.

 

The income tax laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are summarized as follows:

 

United States

 

The Company is subject to United States tax at graduated rates from 15% to 35%. No provision for income tax in the United States has been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

BVI

 

Value Development and Hope Diary are incorporated in the BVI and is governed by the income tax laws of the BVI. According to current BVI income tax law, the applicable income tax rate for the Company is 0%.

 

Hong Kong

 

Value Development Group Limited and China Dairy are incorporated in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the income tax laws of Hong Kong, the Company is not subject to tax on non-Hong Kong source income.

 

PRC

 

Xinhua Cattle and Yulong are entitled to a tax exemption for the full Enterprise Income Tax in China due to a government tax preferential policy for the dairy farming industry. In January 2015, Zhongxian obtained an income tax exemption notice from the tax authority to exempt the income tax on its investment income from its subsidiaries Xinhua Cattle and Yulong.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the amount available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing the amount available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net income per share are presented for basic and diluted per share calculations for all periods reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. There were no dilutive shares outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Statutory Reserve Fund

 

Pursuant to the corporate law of the PRC, Jiasheng Consulting and the Company’s Chinese VIE and its subsidiaries are required to transfer 10% of their net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of its registered capital. The statutory reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or used to increase registered capital, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such use is not less than 25% of the registered capital. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the required statutory reserve funds have been fully funded.

 

3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of contingent consideration arising from a business combination, insurance settlement proceeds, and distributions from certain equity method investees. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance on credit losses on financial instruments which replaces the incurred-loss impairment methodology. The new guidance requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020; however early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating whether this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).’’ This guidance supersedes current guidance on revenue recognition in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.’’ In addition, there are disclosure requirements related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No.2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. For public business entities that follow U.S. GAAP, the deferral results in the new revenue standard are being effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. This

accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The update to the standard is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards (CONTINUED)

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”), which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. ASU 2015-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendment is effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pursuant to the contractual arrangements, Jiasheng Consulting controls all managerial power of Zhongxian Information.    The contractual arrangements include a shareholder voting rights proxy agreement, exclusive consulting and services agreement, exclusive call option agreement and equity pledge agreement, pursuant to which, Jiasheng Consulting shall provide exclusive and complete business support and technical and consulting service to Zhongxian Information in exchange for an annual fee in the amount of Zhongxian Information’s yearly net profits after tax, and Zhongxian Information’s stockholders pledged their rights, title and equity interest in Zhongxian Information as security for the collection of such consulting and service fees provided in the equity pledge agreement.

 

Zhongxian Information was incorporated in China in January 2005 with registered capital of RMB 10,000,000 or $1,206,800 US Dollars.  In February 2006, it acquired 99% of the registered capital of Heilongjiang Xinhua Cattle Industry Co., Ltd., a PRC company (“Xinhua Cattle”), which was incorporated in China in December 2005 with registered capital of RMB 3,000,000 or $371,580 US Dollars. Xinhua Cattle is located in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province, in northeast China and is a livestock company that engages in cow breeding and fresh milk production and distribution.

 

On November 23, 2011, Zhongxian Information acquired 100% of the equity interest of Shangzhi Yulong Cattle Co., Ltd., a PRC company (“Yulong Cattle”), in exchange for (i) issuance of 9,000,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) a cash payment of $4,396,000, to Yulong Cattle’s former shareholders. Yulong Cattle was incorporated on December 4, 2007 under the laws of the PRC. Yulong Cattle, located in Harbin, Heilongjiang, in northeast China, is a livestock company that engages in cow breeding and fresh milk distribution, and primarily generates its revenue from the sale of fresh milk.

On July 16, 2015, we transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Value Development to China Dairy Corporation Ltd., a Hong Kong company (“China Dairy”), which is 60% owned indirectly by the Company through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Hope Diary Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Hope Diary”). These transactions involve no consideration received or paid as Value Development and China Dairy are under common control with us and this transaction is a restriction to our interests in Value Development.

 

China Dairy was newly incorporated in January 2015 and did not have any significant assets or liabilities, or business operations, which is 100% owned by Company’s PRC corporate advisor. Further, the sole shareholder transferred the 10,000 shares of China Dairy to Value Development 60% and various shareholder and consultants of the Company 40% at HK$1.00 per share.

 

The 40% of the 10,000 shares of China Dairy were transferred from the sole shareholder of China Dairy to the following entities at HK$1.00 per share, which has direct or indirect relationship with the shareholder and consultants of the Company: 3% to Beijing Ruihua Future, 4% to Donghe Group, 3% to Integral Capital, 20% to Dingxi Shanghai Fund and 10% to Zhiyuan International. Immediately after the transfer, 65,000 bonus shares were issued at no consideration for every existing share.

 

Value Development is the sole shareholder of Value Development Group Limited, which is the sole shareholder of Harbin Jiasheng Consulting Managerial Co. Ltd. (“Jiasheng Consulting”), which is our subsidiary in China, with respect to which the operating company, Zhongxian Information, is a variable interest entity. The effect of this transaction was to reduce the interest of ours in its operating company by 40%. We use the China Dairy’s offering price for the Proposed Offering to approximate the fair value of the 40% stock granted to the shareholder and consultants.

 

On September 16, 2015, our 60%-owned subsidiary, Jiasheng Consulting, exercised its option to purchase all of the registered equity of our operating subsidiary, Zhongxian Information from its stockholders Zhengxin Liu and Youliang Wang, who are also the members of our Board of Directors, for RMB10,000 (approximately $1,634). Prior to the acquisition, Jiasheng Consulting controlled Zhongxian Information through a series of contractual agreements, which made Zhongxian Information a variable interest entity, the effect of which was to cause the balance sheet and operating results of Zhongxian Information to be consolidated with those of Jiasheng Consulting in our financial statements. As a result of the acquisition by Jiasheng Consulting of the registered ownership of Zhongxian Information, the balance sheet and operating results of Zhongxian Information hereafter continues to be consolidated with those of Jiasheng Consulting as its 100% owned subsidiary. On April 8, 2016, our 60% owned subsidiary, China Dairy Corporation Limited issued 84,906,541 CDI shares at AUD $0.2 per share on ASX and raised total fund of AUD $16,981,308 (USD $13,021,267). After the IPO, our ownership was diluted to 53.07%.

Our current structure is set forth below:

 

 

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

  

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following present factors: 

 

Dairy Industry Growth. We believe the market for dairy products in China for the long term will grow rapidly, driven by China’s economic growth, improved living quality and increased penetration of infant formula. Accordingly, we believe that the demand of fresh milk will increase rapidly.

 

Production Capacity. Our revenue largely depends on our production capacity. The production capacity in this industry is determined by the variety, aging and number of adult cows. Accordingly, we acquired Yulong Cattle in November 2011 which increased our number of cows by 3,800 and improved our production capacity by approximately 90 tons per day when acquired.

 

Raw Material Supplies and Prices. The per unit cost of fresh milk is affected by price volatility of our raw materials and feeding expenses in the China markets.  In response to the increased cost, we leased 16,666,750 square meters of grassland in October 2011, 427,572 square meters grassland in February 2013, and 521,336 square meters of grassland in May 2015. We believe that the hay production of this grassland can satisfy our raw material demand and lower our feeding cost.

 

Change of operation method. We disposed a large number of adult cows to local farmers, introduced distribution channel to them and receive up to 30% (before September 1, 2017) of the farmers’ milk sales as a commission. It makes our performance is stably increased and we have enough production resources to feed more cows by ourselves. In addition, we signed with another 27 local farmers to feed 2,000 adult cows in May 2016 to increase our production resources.

 

Sale of Cows

 

We had agreements with local farmers entered into June 2011, for their purchase of cows to be collected over five years, with a minimum payment of 20% of the sales price to be paid each year. The notes were recorded at their present value with a discount rate of 12%, which was commensurate with interest rates for notes with similar risk. We also entered into agreements with these local farmers for a 30% commission of their monthly milk sales generated by the cows sold in exchange for our assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk. As of September 30, 2017, the farmers had fully repaid the principal payments.

 

40

 

 

In May 2017, December 2016, November 2016, September 2011, August 2011, and June 2011, Xinhua Cattle sold 2,511, 130, 4,000, 3,787, 5,635, and 2,000 of its cows to local farmers, respectively. 2,000 of the cows sold were purchased from outside parties for $4,407,000. The remaining cows sold were raised by Xinhua. In November 2016, November2014 and December 2014, Yulong sold 4,317, 3,714 and 2,995 cows to local farmers respectively. 5,500 of the cows sold were purchased from outside unrelated parties for $8,996,000. The remaining cows sold were raised by Yulong.

 

Pursuant to agreements for the sale of cows signed in August 2011, September 2011, November 2014, and December 2014, the sales price will be collected in monthly installments plus interest at 7% on the outstanding balance, over the remaining useful lives of the cows, which range from one to eight years. Local farmers are required to pay 30% of monthly milk sales generated from the cows purchased by the farmers. The 30% monthly payments are to be applied first to the monthly installment of principal for the cows sold and the balance as commission income for our assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk. While the 30% rate and the amount applied to monthly installments for the purchase price of the cows remain the same, the amount of sales commission income will vary depending on total monthly milk sales and the progress of repayments towards the purchase price. We signed supplemental agreements with the farmers and reduced the pay rate to 20% since September 1, 2017 due to the increased feeding costs.

 

Pursuant to the agreements signed in November 2016, December 2016 and May 2017, the sales price will be collected in monthly installments plus interest at 5% on the outstanding balance, over the remaining useful lives of the cows, which range from one to eight years. Local farmers are required to pay a 20% of monthly milk sales generated from the cows sold. The 20% monthly payments are to be applied first to the monthly installment of principal for the cows sold and the balance as commission income for our assistance in arranging for the sale of the milk. While the 20% rate and the amount applied to monthly installments for the purchase price of the cows remain the same, the amount of sales commission income will vary depending on total monthly milk sales and the progress of repayments towards the purchase price.

 

Xinhua Cattle sold a total of 1,246 female calves to outside parties at a total price of RMB 4,984,000 (US $747,600) in the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The net value of these female calves was approximately RMB 7,573,000 (US $1,136,000). Yulong Cattle sold 275 female calves to outside parties at a total price of RMB 1,100,000 (US $165,000) in the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The net value of these female calves was approximately RMB 717,000 (US $108,000).

 

Increase in payment to local farmers  

 

Due to the significant increase in forage price, our payment to local farmers was increased as well during last twelve months. Before March 2015, the payment which included feeding expense and forage cost was $50, $63, $72 and $111, respectively, which paid for calf, pre-adult cow, young cow and adult cow per month. Since April 2015, such expenses increased to $57, $74, $84 and $132, respectively, paid for each type of cows. Since September 2015, such expenses increased to $66, $84, $98 and $153, respectively. In the end of September 2015, we terminated the agreements with the original 200 local farmers and signed with new 179 local farmers near around Harbin city. However, it didn’t stop the increase in forage price. Since November 2015, the feeding expenses and forage costs increased to $75, $93, $113 and $255 for each calf, pre-adult cow, young cow and adult cow, respectively. Since September 2017, the feeding expenses and forage costs significantly increased to $75, $118, $140 and $306 for each calf’, pre-adult cow, young cow and adult cow, respectively.

Revenues  

 

Our revenue was primarily generated from sales of fresh milk and commissions on fresh milk sales by farmers to whom we sold cows. We had total revenues of $33,148,817 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $3,132,407 or 10%, compared to $30,016,410 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. There are two main reasons caused such increase: 1) total average milk cows for milk sales increased from 20,609 to 21,949 and; 2) total average milk cows for commission income increased from 13,677 to 22,289.

 

The following table shows a breakdown of revenue from natural milk sales and sales commission, respectively: 

 

    For the quarters ended September 30,  
                Change  
    2017     2016     Amount     %  
Sales of natural milk   $ 28,588,079     $ 26,193,405     $ 2,394,674       9 %
Sales commissions     4,560,738       3,823,005       737,733       19 %
Total revenue   $ 33,148,817     $ 30,016,410     $ 3,132,407       10 %

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, our revenue generated from natural milk sales was $28,588,079 which represented an increase of $2,394,674 or 9% compared to $26,193,405 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the natural milk sales was primarily due to the increased number of milk cows compared to the same period of prior year. 

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the number of milk cows and the revenue per cow:

 

    For the quarters ended September 30,  
                Change  
    2017     2016     Amount     %  
Sales of natural milk   $ 28,588,079     $ 26,193,405     $ 2,394,674       9 %
Average number of milk cows     21,949       20,609       1,340       7 %
Revenue from per milk cow   $ 1,302     $ 1,271     $ 32       2 %

 

The revenue per milk cow increased to $1,302 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from $1,271 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $32 or 2%. After seeing above table, we can easily find the primary reason for the increase in sales of milk which is total average milk cows were increased from 20,609 to 21,949 which represented an increase by 7%. In addition, average younger age of the milk cows slightly increased the production capacity of each milk cow.

The sales commissions from local farmers increased by $737,733 or 19% to $4,560,738 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from $3,823,005 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The average quantity of milk cows we now earn commission on increased by 63% or 8,612, to 22,289 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from 13,677 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 due to the new disposal of total 10,958 adult cows in May 2017, November 2016 and December 2016. However, per the new contract term, the sales commission was only deducted from 20% milk sales less principle payment but not 30% milk sales like before and the original pay rate of 30% reduced to 20% as well since September 1, 2017. In conclusion, the sales commission increased by 19% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 by comparing with prior period.

 

Gross profit  

 

Our cost of goods sold consists of feeding food, feeding expenses and other direct production overhead which includes labor costs, depreciation, lease, water & electricity, etc. Because we started to use the two new farms in Shuangcheng district and Xiangfang District in Harbin, more direct production overhead was allocated to our costs of goods sold. In addition, the direct feeding expenses and food costs paid to local farmers increased from $255 per cow before September 2017 to $306 per cow since September 2017. As a result, we saw a decrease in our margins compared with the same period in 2016. 

 

    For the quarters ended September 30,  
                Change  
    2017     2016     Amount     %  
Cost of goods sold   $ 21,433,125     $ 19,113,652     $ 2,319,473       12 %
Average number of milk cows     21,949       20,609       1,340       7 %
Cost per milk cow   $ 976     $ 927     $ 49       5 %

 

The cost per milk cow increased to $976 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 which represented an increase of $49 or 5% compared to $927 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. As we explained above, the direct feeding expenses and food costs paid to local farmers increased from $255 per cow before September 2017 to $306 per cow since September 2017. The average number of milk cows also increased by 1,340 or 7% from 20,609 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to 21,949 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. These two reasons primarily caused the increase in cost of goods sold.

 

Gross profit margin  

 

Our gross profit margin was 35.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 which decreased by 3% from 36.3% for the quarter ended September, 2016. The main reason for such a decrease was primarily due to the increase in feeding and food cost.

 

Operating expenses   

 

Our operating expenses increased to $5,555,711 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from $1,519,095 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a increase of $4,036,616 or 266%. Our operating expenses primarily consist of human resource costs, depreciation, professional fees associated with filings required by the securities laws of the United States, consulting fees for a Chinese financial advisory company and VAT surcharges, etc. The reason for the increase in operating expenses primarily due to the reimbursement to farmers because the omasum disease had an impact on the 4,000 milk cows we disposed to the 13 local farmers.

 

Operating income (loss)

 

As a result of the foregoing, we had operating income of $6,159,981 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, representing an decrease of $3,223,682, as compared to operating income of $9,383,663 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

 

43

 

 

Non-operating income (expenses)

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, non-operating expenses consists primarily of interest income of $316,940 earned on the outstanding notes receivable from the farmers and other non-operating income of $23,796 which mainly consists of bank interest earned. We also had a net loss from disposal of biological properties of $330,992 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, non-operating income consists primarily of interest income of $123,663 earned on the outstanding notes receivable from the farmers and other non-operating income of $35,628 which mainly consists of bank interest earned. Non-operating expenses consist of the loss on the disposal of immature biological assets of $21,425. 

 

Net Income  

 

Xinhua Cattle and Yulong Cattle are entitled to a tax exemption for the full Enterprise Income Tax in China due to a government tax preference policy for the dairy farming industry. Zhongxian Information is subject to an Enterprise Income Tax of 25% and files its own tax returns before January 16, 2015. On January 16, 2015, Zhongxian Information received a tax exemption notice from Harbin National Tax Bureau on its investment income from its subsidiaries. Jiasheng Consulting (the “WFOE”) is subject to an Enterprise Income Tax at 25% and files its own tax return before September 16, 2015. On September 16, 2015, Jiasheng Consulting purchased all of the registered equity of Zhongxian Information and the VIE structure was terminated. Under China tax law, Jiasheng Consulting is exempt from income tax on its investment income since September 16, 2015. There was no any provision for income taxes the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We had a net income before non-controlling interests of $6,619,725 and $9,521,529, respectively, which represented a decrease by $3,351,804 or 35%, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. We initially owned 99% of Xinhua Cattle’s shares and our non-controlling interest was only 1% of Xinhua’s net income. On July 16, 2015, as we transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Value Development to China Dairy, which we own 60% through our wholly owned subsidiary, Hope Diary. This transaction resulted a reduction of our interest in our operating company by 40%. In addition, on April 8, 2016, our 60% owned subsidiary, China Dairy Corporation Limited issued 84,906,541 CDI shares at AUD $0.2 per share on ASX and after the IPO, our ownership was diluted to 53.07%. As a result, net income attributed to the non-controlling shareholders increased from 1% to 46.93%. We attributed $2,927,621 and $4,524,105, respectively, to non-controlling interest for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. We had net income attributable to the common stockholders of the Company of $3,242,104 and $4,997,424, respectively, representing $0.06 per share and $0.09 per share, respectively, for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment  

 

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Our local currency, Renminbi, is our functional currency. All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Statements of income and other comprehensive income and cash flows have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of our consolidated financial statements are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency is included in the results of operations as incurred. For the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred foreign currency translation adjustments income (loss) of $3,830,708 and $(248,988), respectively. They are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss), respectively. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

 

As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, we had no bank debt but amounts owed to shareholders of $2,016,336 and $1,918,341, respectively. The amounts due to our stockholders were principally for the professional fees incurred for being a reporting company in the United States and in Australia because of the restriction of official bank transfers abroad. At the same time, we had $50,316,657 and $53,241,856 in cash at September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 as well as working capital of $ 93,705,866 and $84,708,423, respectively.

Operating activities  

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, our operating activities used $2,583,228 in net cash, compared to cash provided of $11,787,876 during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.The net cash used in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable from the seller of the 4,000 sick milk cows and increase in prepaid expenses for the new R&D project, which reduced our cash provided by operating activities by $9,881,999 and $5,101,155, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The net cash provided in the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was slightly higher than our net income primarily due to the depreciation on fixed assets and biological properties of $1,658,912 and amortization on lease of $431,746.

 

Investing activities

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, our investing activities provided a cash outflow of $1,383,493 compared with a cash outflow of $6,580,854 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The food costs and feeding expenses for biological properties used cash of $3,299,733 and $5,237,180 for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we received cash of $1,153,265 and $628,026, respectively, from the collection of notes receivable from the disposal of biological properties in calendar year 2011, 2014 and 2016. For the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we also received $915,975 and $804,900 in cash from our disposal of biological properties, respectively. For the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we spent $153,000 and $2,776,600, respectively, for the addition of PP&E for daily operations. The material additions during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were the production facilities and forage plant which were not completed and in service as of September 30, 2016.

 

Financing activities  

 

Our financing activities for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 mainly included proceeds from shareholders and dividends payment for our subsidiary. For the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we received $32,566 and $28,261 from shareholders, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, we paid total dividends of $1,531,762 to our subsidiary’s shareholders.

 

We have historically financed our operations through cash generated from our fresh milk sales and commissions from milk sales from local farmers. Over the long term, it is our expectation to utilize our additional capital resources to expand our operating activities. At the present time, however, we are able to operate profitably without any significant additional investment. Moreover, our observation of the equity markets indicates that we would be unlikely to obtain financing, or if available, on favorable terms at this time. Accordingly, our near-term plan is to finance our operations with our current working capital and with the expected income from our ongoing operations.

The Company’s primary sources of revenues are derived from (a) sale of fresh milk to Chinese manufacturing and distribution companies of dairy products and (b) commissions from local farmers on their monthly milk sales.  The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Revenues from the sale of milk are recognized when the milk is delivered and the title is transferred, the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. 

 

Milk sales revenue is recognized when the title to the goods has been passed to our customers, which is the date when the goods are delivered to designated locations and accepted by the customers and the previously discussed requirements are met.  Fresh milk is delivered to our customers on a daily basis.  The customers’ acceptance occurs upon inspection of quality and measurement of quantity at the time of delivery. The Company does not provide the customer with the right of return.  Sales commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis based on monthly sales reports received from the dairy companies.

Estimates 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.  

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management conducted an assessment as of September 30, 2017 of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in  Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)  issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms due to a material weakness related to the lack of accounting personnel with sufficient experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 

 

Our management has identified the following steps to address the above material weakness:

 

(1) We have been working with a financial accountant to assist us in preparing our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP standards and SEC rules and regulations.

 

(2) We intend to hire, as needed, key accounting personnel with technical accounting expertise and reorganize the finance department to ensure that accounting personnel with adequate experience, skills and knowledge relating to complex, non-routine transactions are directly involved in the review and accounting evaluation of our complex, non-routine transactions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
