China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (CADC
Delaware) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 15, 2007. CADC
Delaware, through its 100% owned subsidiaries and its variable interest entities
(VIEs), is engaged in producing general ready-mix concrete, customized
mechanical refining concrete, and other concrete-related products that are
mainly sold in the Peoples Republic of China (the PRC). CADC Delaware has a
wholly-owned subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands, Xin Ao Construction
Materials, Inc. (BVI-ACM), which is a holding company with no operations.
BVI-ACM has a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Beijing Ao Hang Construction
Material Technology Co., Ltd. (China-ACMH), and China-ACMH has contractual
agreements with Beijing XinAo Concrete Group (Xin Ao) and therefore Xin Ao is
considered to be a VIE of China- ACM.
Xin Ao is engaged in the business of consulting, concrete
mixing and equipment rental services. Xin Ao had five wholly owned subsidiaries
in the PRC: (1) Beijing Heng Yuan Zheng Ke Technical Consulting Co., Ltd, (2)
Beijing Hong Sheng An Construction Materials Co., Ltd, (3) Beijing Heng Tai Hong
Sheng Construction Materials Co., Ltd, (4) Da Tong Ao Hang Wei Ye Machinery,
Equipment Rental Co., Ltd, and (5) Luan Xian Heng Xin Technology Co., Ltd. Since
their establishment, none of these five entities had any operations and the
Company did not plan to pursue operations for these entities. As of June 30,
2017, all five subsidiaries were dissolved.
On August 1, 2013, CADC Delaware consummated a reincorporation
merger with its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, China Advanced
Construction Materials Group, Inc. (China ACM), a Nevada corporation, with
CADC Delaware merging into China ACM and China ACM being the surviving company,
for the purpose of changing CADC Delawares state of incorporation from Delaware
to Nevada.
China ACM, BVI-ACM, China-ACMH and Xin Ao are collectively
referred to as the Company.
In assessing the Companys liquidity, the Company monitors and
analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments.
The Companys liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements,
operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations.
The Company engages in the production of advanced construction
materials for large-scale infrastructure, commercial and residential
developments. The Companys business is capital intensive and the Company is
highly leveraged. Debt financing in the form of short term bank loans, loans
from related parties and bank acceptance notes have been utilized to finance the
working capital requirements and the capital expenditures of the Company. Due to
recurring losses, the Companys working capital was approximately $8.6 million
as of December 31, 2017, as compared to $7.5 million as of June 30, 2017. As of
December 31, 2017, the Company had cash on-hand of approximately $1.1 million,
with remaining current assets mainly composed of accounts receivables and
prepayments and advances.
Although the Company believes that it can realize its current
assets in the normal course of business, the Companys ability to repay its
current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets.
Management has considered its historical experience, the economic environment,
trends in the construction industry, the expected collectability of its accounts
receivable and other receivables and the realization of the prepayments on
inventory, and provided for an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December
31, 2017. The Company expects to realize the balance of its current assets net
of the allowance for doubtful accounts within the normal operating cycle of a
twelve month period. If the Company is unable to realize its current assets
within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, the Company may have
to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following:
CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES
Based on the above considerations, the Companys management is
of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet the Companys working
capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due. However, there is
no assurance that management will be successful in their plans. There are a
number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the
Companys plans, such as changes in the demand for the Companys products,
economic conditions, competitive pricing in the concrete-mix industry, the
Companys operating results continuing to deteriorate, or the inability of the
Companys bank and shareholders to provide continued financial support.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These financial
statements include the accounts of all the directly and indirectly owned
subsidiaries and VIEs listed below. All intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered
necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results of a full year. The information in this
Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the annual
report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC
on September 28, 2017.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect the activities of the following subsidiaries and VIEs. All material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to
finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties
or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with
which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary
beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIEs. The primary beneficiary is
required to consolidate the VIEs for financial reporting purposes.
Management makes ongoing assessments of whether China ACM is
the primary beneficiary of Xin Ao. Based upon a series of contractual
arrangements, the Company determined that Xin Ao is a VIE subject to
consolidation and that China ACM is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the
accounts of Xin Ao are consolidated with those of China ACM.
* Payables to China-ACMH and BVI-ACM have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The significant
estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the Companys unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful
accounts, deferred income taxes, prepayments and advances, stock-based
compensation, and fair value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment.
Actual results could be materially different from those estimates.
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The
functional currency of China ACM and BVI-ACM is the U.S. dollar. China-ACMH and
Xin Ao use their local currency Chinese Renminbi (RMB) as their functional
currency. In accordance with the U.S. GAAP guidance on Foreign Currency
Translation, the Companys results of operations and cash flows are translated
at the average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are
translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and equity is
translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts related to assets
and liabilities reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances
on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Asset and liability accounts at December 31, 2017 and June 30,
2017 were translated at RMB 6.51 and RMB 6.78 to $1.00, respectively. The
average translation rates applied to the consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016
were RMB 6.76 and RMB 6.79 to $1.00, respectively. The average translation rates
applied to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and
2016 were RMB 6.64 and RMB 6.75 to $1.00, respectively.
Translation gains (losses) that arise from exchange rate
fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency are included in the results of operations. There were no foreign
currency transaction gains or losses for each of the three and six months ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016. The effects of foreign currency translation
adjustments are included in shareholders equity as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income.
CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES
The Company sells its concrete products primarily to major
local construction companies. Sales agreements are signed with each customer.
The agreements list all terms and conditions with the exception of delivery date
and quantity, which are evidenced separately in purchase orders. The purchase
price of products is fixed in the agreement and customers are not permitted to
renegotiate after the contracts have been signed. The agreements include a
cancellation clause if the Company or customers breach the contract terms
specified in the agreement.
The Company recognizes revenue when title and ownership of the
goods are transferred upon shipment to the customer by the Company and
collectability of payment is reasonably assured.
The Company includes the shipping and handling fee in both
revenue and cost of revenue.
US GAAP, regarding fair value of financial instruments and
related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level
valuation hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Level 1 inputs to the valuation
methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities
in active markets;
Level 2 inputs to the valuation
methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument;
Financial instruments included in current assets and current
liabilities are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets
at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period
of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected
realization and their current market rates of interest.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the
original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents. The Company currently maintains substantially all of its day-to-day
operating cash balances with major financial institutions within the PRC and the
United States. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company had
deposits in excess of federally insured limits totaling approximately $1.1
million and $0.2 million, respectively, outside the United States.
Restricted cash consisted of collateral representing cash
deposits for bank guarantees and notes payable.
CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the
normal course of business. Accounts are considered past due after 30 days. In
establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers
historical experience, the economic environment, trends in the construction
industry and the expected collectability of the overdue receivables. Management
reviews its accounts receivable each reporting period to determine if the
allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts
is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection
have been exhausted and the potential for recovering is considered remote. The
Company provides a provision of 15% of the allowance for doubtful accounts for
accounts receivable balances that are past due more than 180 days but less than
one year, 40% of the allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable
past due from one to two years, 75% of the allowance for doubtful accounts for
accounts receivable past due beyond two years, 100% of the allowance for
doubtful accounts for accounts receivable past due beyond three years, plus
additional amounts as necessary when the Companys collection department
determines the collection of the full amount is remote and the Companys
management approves 100% of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Companys
management has continued to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation
allowance policy and will update it if necessary.
Inventories consist of raw materials and are stated at the
lower of cost or market, as determined using the weighted average cost method.
Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an
allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its market value, if lower
than cost. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company determined
that no reserves for obsolescence were necessary.
Other receivables primarily include prepayments to be refunded
by our suppliers if the supplies do not meet the Companys specification needs,
advances to employees, amounts due from unrelated entities, VAT tax refunds and
other deposits. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and
changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes
collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectible are
written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made.
The Company provides a provision of 5% of the allowance for doubtful accounts
for other receivables balances that are aged within one year, 50% of the
allowance for doubtful accounts for other receivables aged from one to two
years, and 100% of the allowance for doubtful accounts for other receivables
aged beyond two years.
Prepayments are funds deposited or advanced to outside vendors
for future inventory purchases. As is standard practice in the PRC, many of the
Companys vendors require a certain amount to be deposited with them as a
guarantee that the Company will complete its purchases on a timely basis. This
amount is refundable and bears no interest. The Company has legally binding
contracts with its vendors, which require any outstanding prepayments to be
returned to the Company when such contracts end.
The Company recovered approximately $0.3 million and provided
allowance of approximately $0.1 million on unrealizable prepayments for the
three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company
provided allowance of approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million on
unrealizable prepayments for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company provided
approximately $0.5 million and $0, respectively, bad debt allowance for
prepayments and advances.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while
additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is provided
over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable assets and is
computed using the straight-line method with a 5% residual value. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of estimated useful lives or lease
terms, as appropriate.

Accounting for long-lived assets
The Company classifies its long-lived assets into: (i)
machinery and equipment; (ii) transportation equipment; (iii) office and
equipment; and (iv) buildings and improvements.
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that
these assets could become impaired as a result of technological or other
industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to
be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash
flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying
value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not
recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to
the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is
determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow
models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as
considered necessary.
If the value of an asset is determined to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured in the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less
disposition costs.
There were no impairment charges for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Competitive pricing pressures and changes in interest rates
could materially and adversely affect the Companys estimates of future net cash
flows to be generated by the long-lived assets, and thus could result in future
impairment losses.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation expense at fair
value on the grant date and recognizes the expense over the employee's requisite
service period. The Companys expected volatility assumption is based on the
historical volatility of Companys stock. The expected life assumption is
primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting
termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the
option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The expected dividend yield is based on the Companys current and expected
dividend policy.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC
740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to use the assets and liability
method of accounting for income taxes. Under the assets and liability method,
deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary
differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years
to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of
existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry
forwards. Under this accounting standard, the effect on deferred income taxes of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than
not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
defines uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position as a
two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than
not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the
resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of
that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the
more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be
recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first
subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax
positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be
de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the
threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to
underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period
incurred. United States federal, state and local income tax returns prior to
2015 are not subject to examination by any
applicable tax authorities. PRC tax returns filed in 2017 and prior years are
subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

Value Added Tax
Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in
repair and maintenance, or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a
value added tax. The standard VAT rate for the Companys industry is 3% of gross
sales, and revenues are presented net of VAT.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The
cost of materials and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research
and development activities, and have alternative future uses, either in research
and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment,
and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Earnings (loss) per share
The Company reports earnings (losses) per share in accordance
with the U.S. GAAP, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings
(losses) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in
computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (losses) per share excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common
shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as warrants, options,
restricted stock based grants and convertible preferred stock, to issue common
stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Common stock equivalents
having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share are excluded from the
calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Stock dividends or stock splits are to be accounted for
retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the period, or
retroactively if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the
period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it
outstanding of the entirety of each period presented.
Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.
Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the
beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds
obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price
during the period.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and
foreign currency translation adjustments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) No., 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Options (Topic 718): Improvements to
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The areas for simplification in this
amendment include the income tax consequences, classification of awards as
either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.
For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within
those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted
for any entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity early adopts the
amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the
beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that
elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The
adoption of this ASU has not had a material effect on the Companys unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of
Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash
Payments, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments
are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments
provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: (1) Debt
Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt
Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are
Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3)
Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4)
Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the
Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned; (6)
Life Insurance Policies; (7) Distributions Received from Equity Method
Investees; (8) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and
Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance
Principle. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The
amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each
period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively
for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied
prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Management does not believe
the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Companys unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation
(Topic 810): Interests held through related parties that are under common
control. The amendments in this ASU require that the reporting entity, in
determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary
beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a
proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through
related parties, including related parties that are under common control with
the reporting entity. The amendments are effective for public business entities
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this ASU
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim
periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is
permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Management does not believe
the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Companys unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement
of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash". The amendments address diversity in practice
that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash
on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for public companies
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. Management believes that the adoption of this ASU on
the Companys statement of cash flows will increase cash and cash equivalents by
the amount of the restricted cash on the Companys unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification
Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based
payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which
an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. For
all entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including
interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December
15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.
The adoption of this ASU would not have a material effect on the Companys

Note 8 Income taxes
(a) Corporate income tax
China ACM is organized in the United States. China ACM had no
taxable income for United States income tax purposes for the six months ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. China ACMs net operating income for
the six months ended December 31, 2017, amounted to approximately $0.2 million.
As of December 31, 2017, China ACMs net operating loss carry forward for United
States income taxes was approximately $0.2 million. The net operating loss carry
forwards are available to reduce future years taxable income through year 2037.
Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses
appears uncertain due to the Companys operating history and continued losses in
the United States. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation
allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to zero. Management
reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes changes accordingly.

CHINA ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS GROUP, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (The Act)
was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate
decreased from 35% to 21%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the
lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory
federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and
21% for subsequent fiscal years. Accordingly, we have remeasured our deferred tax
assets on net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S at the lower enacted
cooperated tax rate of 21%. However, this remeasurment has no effect on the
Companys income tax expenses as the Company has provided a 100% valuation
allowance on its deferred tax assets previously.
Additionally, the Tax Act imposes a one-time transition tax on
deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future
foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused us
to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary
differences and NOL carryforwards and recorded one time income tax payable to be
paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the
Companys income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign
earnings prior to December 31, 2017 which the Company has cumulative foreign
losses as of December 31, 2017.
BVI-ACM is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI),
where its income tax rate is 0% under current BVI law.
China-ACMH and VIE-Chinese operations
China-ACMH and Xin Ao are governed by the income tax laws of
the PRC. Income tax provisions with respect to operations in the PRC are
calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods
based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof.
Under the Chinese Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) law, the statutory corporate
income tax rate applicable to most companies is 25%. In 2009, Xin Ao applied and
received an Enterprise High-Tech Certificate. The High-Tech Certificate was
required to be renewed every 3 years. The certificate was awarded based on Xin
Aos involvement in producing high-tech products, its research and development,
as well as its technical services. As granted by the State Administration of
Taxation of the PRC, Xin Ao is entitled to a reduction in its income tax rate
from 25% to 15% until 2018.
The EIT Law imposes a 10% withholding income tax, subject to
reduction based on tax treaties where applicable, for dividends distributed by a
foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China. Such
dividends were exempted from PRC tax under the previous income tax law and
regulations. The Company intends to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings
of its Chinese operations located in the PRC. As a result, there is no deferred
tax expense related to withholding tax on the future repatriation of these
earnings.

As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company believes
it is more likely than not that its PRC operations will be unable to fully
utilize its deferred tax assets related to its allowance for doubtful accounts,
impairment loss of long-lived assets and the net operating loss carryforward in
the PRC. If the Company continues to incur losses in its PRC operations, it is
more likely than not that it will not have sufficient income to utilize its
deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a net operating
loss carry forward in the PRC that expires in 2021. As a result, the Company
provided a 100% allowance on all deferred tax assets of approximately $6.1
million and $6.2 million related to its operations in the PRC as of December 31,
2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.
The Company has incurred losses from its United States
operations during all periods presented. Accordingly, management provided
approximately $50,000 and $0.2 million of valuation allowance against the
deferred tax assets related to the Companys United States operations as of
December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, because the deferred tax
benefits of the net operating loss carry forward in the United States might not
be utilized.
As of December 31 and June 30, 2017, the Company had $113,441
and $103,419 of other business tax payables, respectively.
(b) Uncertain tax positions
There were no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2017
and June 30, 2017. Management does not anticipate any potential future
adjustments which would result in a material change to its tax positions. For
the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not
incur any tax related interest or penalties.
Note 9 Shareholders equity
Restricted Stock Grants
Restricted stock grants are measured based on the market price
on the grant date. The Company has granted restricted shares of common stock to
the members of the board of directors (the Board), senior management and
consultants.
Effective August 20, 2016, the Board granted an aggregate of
106,859 shares of restricted common stock, which were issued with a fair value
of $308,823 to a consultant under the 2009 Plan. These shares shall vest in two
tranches upon achieving certain performance-based milestones. On January 15,
2018, 50,000 shares have been vested on the first tranche and 56,859 shares have
been forfeited and cancelled on the second tranche.
Effective August 20, 2016, the Board granted an aggregate of
100,000 shares of restricted common stock, which were issued with a fair value
of $289,000 to two employees under the 2009 Plan. These shares vested
immediately upon grant.
For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the
Company did not recognize any compensation expense related to restricted stock
grants. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company
recognized $0 and approximately $0.3 million, respectively, of compensation

Note 10 Reserves and dividends
The laws and regulations of the PRC require that before a
foreign invested enterprise can legally distribute profits, it must first
satisfy all its tax liabilities, provide for losses in previous years, and make
allocations, in proportions determined at the discretion of the board of
directors, after setting aside statutory reserves. Statutory reserves include
the surplus reserve fund and the common welfare fund.
The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as
determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a
statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the
Companys registered capital. As of December 31 and June 30, 2017, the remaining
reserve to fulfill the 50% registered capital requirement amounted to
approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Transfers to statutory reserves must be made before the
distribution of any dividends to the Companys shareholders. The surplus reserve
fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation. The surplus reserve
fund can however be used to fund previous years losses, if any, and may be
utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new
shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by
increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the
remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the
registered capital.
The PRC government restricts distributions of registered
capital and the additional investment amounts required by foreign invested
enterprises. Approval by the PRC government must be obtained before
distributions of these amounts can be returned to the shareholders.
Note 11 Employee post-retirement benefits
The Company offers a defined contribution plan to eligible
employees which consists of two parts: (i) the first part, paid by the Company,
is 20% of the employees compensation from the prior year and (ii) the second
part, paid by the employee, is 8% of the employees compensation. The Companys
contributions of employment benefits were approximately $0.1 million and $0.2
million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The
Companys contributions of employment benefits were approximately $0.3 million
and $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.
Note 12 Commitments and contingencies

Legal Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal
actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs
associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be
reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies
are expensed as incurred. The Companys management does not expect any liability
from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the
aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Companys unaudited
condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 13 - Concentrations of risk
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its cash in bank and
fixed deposits, and accounts receivable, other receivables and advances on
equipment purchases.
As of December 31 and June 30, 2017, approximately $1.1 million
and $4.4 million were deposited with banks located outside the United States,
respectively. These balances are not covered by insurance. While management
believes that the credit risk on cash in bank and fixed deposits is limited
because the counterparties are recognized financial institutions.
Accounts receivable, other receivables and advances on
inventory purchases are subjected to credit evaluations. An allowance has been
made for estimated unrecoverable amounts which have been determined by reference
to past default experience and the current economic environment.
Customer Concentration Risk
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company had
two customers accounting for approximately 24.4% and 15.5% of total revenue,
respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, two customers
accounted for 32.9% and 11.6% of total revenue. For the six months ended
December 31, 2017, the Company had two customers accounting for approximately
16.8% and 11.9% of total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended
