DISPOSITION OF CHINA SUNLONG

 

General

 

To assist in evaluating the fairness of the Disposition of Sunlong to our shareholders, a special committee consisting of members of our Audit Committee (the “Special Committee”) of the Board, considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement and made recommendation to the Board with respect to the Disposition of Sunlong. The Special Committee unanimously determined that the Agreement and the Disposition of Sunlong were advisable and in the best interests of all the shareholders of the Company, approved the Agreement and the Disposition of Sunlong and made recommendation to the Board to approve the Agreement and the Disposition of Sunlong. The Board, upon Special Committee’s unanimous recommendation, unanimously determined that the Agreement and the Disposition of Sunlong were advisable and in the best interests of all the shareholders of the Company and approved the Agreement and the consummation of the Disposition of Sunlong. 

 

In making its decision, the Board and the Special Committee took into account, among other things: the fact that China Sunlong and its subsidiaries had no revenue and negative operating income since the fourth quarter of 2019 and no revenue or operating income for the first and second quarter of 2020, due to the disruption caused by the lockdown of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, where all of the operation of China Sunlong and its subsidiaries were at, as one of the measures to prevent and control the spread of was a novel coronavirus outbreak, now known as COVID-19; the business outlook of China Sunlong and its subsidiaries; the current and future economic and competitive environment for China Sunlong and its subsidiaries; the weak financial viability of China Sunlong and its subsidiaries; and the analysis of Boustead Securities LLC, which we had engaged for preparation of a fairness opinion to the Board (the “Fairness Opinion”, a copy of which is attached as Annex B), that as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the various assumption and qualification set forth therein that the Disposition of China Sunlong was fair from a financial point of view. See the section titles “Fairness Opinion” below.

 

Description of China Sunlong Environmental Technology Inc.’s Business

 

China Sunlong is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. China Sunlong has no substantive operations.

 

Shengrong BVI is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. It is a direct subsidiary 100% owned by China Sunlong. Shengrong BVI is a holding company and has no substantive operations.

 

Shengrong HK is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Hong Kong. It is a direct subsidiary 100% owned by Shengrong BVI. Shengrong HK is also a holding company and has no substantive operations.

 

Shengrong WFOE is a company incorporated under the laws of China. It is a direct subsidiary 100% owned by Shengrong HK. Shengrong WFOE was engaged in the solid waste recycling systems business, providing sorting, recycling, and purification systems for industrial solid waste. The principal office of Shengrong WFOE was in Wuhan, China.

 

Wuhan Host is a company incorporated under the laws of China. It is a direct subsidiary 100% owned by Shengrong WFOE. Wuhan Host was engaged in the manufacture and distribution of its own anti-corrosion and anti-corrosion coatings, which were applicable to the surface anti-corrosion, waterproof and decoration of concrete and steel components, and were widely used in the fields of ships, Bridges, water conservancy and hydropower projects, wind power generation, mining machinery manufacturing, petroleum, petrochemical and metallurgy, port construction, light industry, locomotive and vehicle, etc. The principal office of Wuhan Host was in Wuhan, China.

 

Background of and Reasons for the Disposition of China Sunlong

 

Starting in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, where Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST were located, there was a novel coronavirus outbreak, now known as COVID-19, which soon spread throughout China and all over the world. The Chinese government took various measures in Wuhan, including reduced travel and cancellation of meetings and events in December 2019. Management at Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST decided to suspend most operation in response to the local regulations and to ensure the health and safety of employees in late December 2019.

 

3 

 

 

As the spread became faster and more deadly, on January 23, 2020, Hubei government announced that Wuhan, together with other four neighboring cities would be under lockdown until further notice. Railway station, airport and highway started to close. Entering or leaving the city was restricted. Soon thereafter, more cities throughout China adopted mandatory lockdown and other restrictions such as quarantine and travel restriction. On February 11, 2020, Wuhan government doubled down on the lockdown, residents were mandated to stay at home with few exceptions. The lockdown halted almost all production where the measures were implemented and caused significant disruption to the economy. The nature of companies such as Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST that relied heavily on manufacturing and distribution of goods did not support remote working. Distributions were interrupted as well due to travel restrictions. Most suppliers and customers of Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST were in or near the epicenter and were adversely impacted as well.

 

Though the lockdown in Wuhan was lifted in April 2020, the disruption caused by COVID-19 were catastrophic for Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST in the waste management industry. The two companies lost employees, suppliers and customers and have not been able to recover since then.

 

Prior to the effective cessation of the operation of China Sunlong and its subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 and our decision to discontinue the business carried out by China Sunlong and its subsidiaries, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, all of the revenue, operating income and assets of China Sunlong and its subsidiary consolidated were attributable to the operations in Wuhan City and Hubei Province.

 

As of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, all of the revenue, operating income and assets of China Sunlong and its subsidiary consolidated were attributable to the operations in Wuhan City and Hubei Province.

 

Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST did not have any revenue from December 2019 to June 2020. The consolidated financial statements of China Sunlong, Sunlong BVI, Sunlong HK, Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST indicates that the stockholders’ equity was $(9,931,567) as of December 31, 2019 and $(9,293,979) as of June 30, 2020.

 

As a result, CCNC decided on June 30, 2020 to dispose all its equity interest in China Sunlong and therefore to dispose all assets and liabilities of China Sunlong, Sunlong BVI, Sunlong HK, Shengrong WFOE and Wuhan HOST.

 

Fairness Opinion

 

The Board retained Boustead Securities LLC (“Boustead”) to render to the Board an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration received by the Company in the Disposition of China Sunlong. Boustead is an independent investment banking firm. As part of its investment banking services, is regularly engaged in the independent valuation of business and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, underwritings, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. The Board selected Boustead on the basis of Boustead’s experience in similar transactions and its reputation in the investment community.

 

The full text of Boustead’s written opinion dated September 2, 2020, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by Boustead in rendering its opinion, is attached as Annex B to this Amended Information Statement and is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. The following summary of Boustead’s opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. The Company’s stockholders are urged to, and should, carefully read Boustead’s written opinion in its entirety.

In connection with its opinion, Boustead, among other thing, has:

 

  the Agreement dated June 30, 2020;

 

  Reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, which incorporated China Sunlong’s operations as incorporated in its predecessors’ Form 10-Ks filed with the SEC;

 

  Reviewed the Company’s and its predecessors’ unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared for interim periods from March 31, 2019 through June 30, 2020 as filed with the SEC;

 

  Reviewed certain operating and financial information relating to China Sunlong as well as CCNC’s business and prospects, though not independently verifiable;

 

  Reviewed the Company’s other filings with the SEC since January 1, 2018, as well as those of its predecessor companies;

 

  Noted the Company’s representations to Boustead that all of China Sunlong’s revenues, earnings and assets for 2018, 2019 and the six-month period ending June 30, 2020 were attributable to operations located in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China and its immediate environs;

 

  Noted the Company’s representation that the effects of the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, Hubei, China in late 2019 caused it to determine to classify China Sunlong’s operations as discontinued as of December 31, 2019;

 

  Engaged in telephonic conversations with the Audit Committee Chairman of the Seller, who is also a member of the Board, to discuss the business, operations, historical and projected financial results, as well as future prospects of China Sunlong;

 

  Noted that the Buyer is a former CEO of the Company;

 

  Noted that the Disposition of China Sunlong was approved by written consent by stockholders who collectively held 54.32% of the equity of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2020, some of whom are officers and directors of the Company, as is permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada where the Seller is incorporated;

 

  Noted that an entity controlled by the Buyer acquired 100% of the equity interests of a different subsidiary (Hubei Shengrong) of the Seller in December 2018, subsequent to his resignation as the Company’s CEO. Boustead did not render a fairness opinion for that transaction, did not act as a financial advisor to any party to that transaction, nor received any compensation arising from that transaction;

 

  Reviewed publicly available financial data and trading multiples of companies where Boustead deemed generally comparable to Sunlong including publicly-traded hazardous waste processors which operate solely in PRC and Hong Kong, as well as publicly -traded hazardous waste companies of $100 million of equity market capitalization or less;

 

  Reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available information with respect to the terms of certain merger and acquisition transactions Boustead deemed relevant to its analysis;

 

  Considered that no cash was tendered by the Buyer or Payees to the Company; given that this was a purchase of equity by the Buyer, the net liabilities of China Sunlong were transferred for the Company to the Buyer;

 

  Conducted such other studies, analysis, inquiries, and investigations as Boustead deemed appropriate.

 

5 

 

 

In arriving at its opinion, Boustead assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all data, material and other information furnished, or otherwise made available, to it, discussed with or reviewed by it, or publicly available, and do not assume any responsibility with respect to such data, material and other information.

 

Boustead assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of the parties since the date of the last financial results of China Sunlong and its subsidiaries made available to Boustead. Boustead did not make and was not provided with any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise) of the China Sunlong or any other entity.

 

The opinion is limited to whether the consideration is fair to CCNC, from a financial point of view, and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the transaction, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the transaction, any consequences of the transaction on the Company, on the parties’ respective members, stockholders, creditors or otherwise, or any term, aspects or implications of any voting, support, stockholder or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the transaction or otherwise. The opinion also does not consider, address or include: (i) any other strategic or financial alternatives currently (or which have been or may be) contemplated by the Company or its Board; (ii) the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the transaction on the company or the respective members, or stockholders of the parties, and (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any parties’ officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the holders of the Company’s securities.

 

Neither Boustead nor any of its affiliates have acted as a financial advisor to CCNC, Buyer, or Payees (collectively, the “Parties”), and have not received any other compensation from the Parties. Neither Boustead nor any of its affiliates will receive any compensation for this fairness opinion from the Parties that is contingent upon the successful completion of the sale of China Sunlong to the Buyer by CCNC, and will not receive any other contingent compensation if it is successfully completed. There have been no material relationships between Boustead and its affiliates, and the Parties in the past two years, nor is there a mutual understanding between Boustead nor any of its affiliates that are mutually understood to be contemplated in which any compensation was or will be rendered as a result of the relationship between Boustead and the Parties.

Board of Directors

Code Chain New Continent, Limited

180 Qingnian West Road

Hongqiao Building West, 4th Floor

Nantong, Jinagsu, China 226001

c/o: Yimin Jin, Chief Executive Officer

 

Dear Mr. Jin:

 

Boustead Securities, LLC (“BSL”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) has been advised that Code Chain New Continent, Limited (“CCNC”, the “Seller”, or “you”) has sold all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China Sunlong Environmental Technology, Incorporated (“Sunlong”, the “Company”, or the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands Company, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of CCNC, to Jiazhen Li (the “Buyer”), as well as Long Liao and Chunyong Zheng (the “Payees”). CCNC’s agreement to sell its ordinary shares (the “Sunlong Shares’) of Sunlong to the Buyer and Payees pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) between CCNC, the Buyer and the Payees dated June 30, 2020 (the “Agreement Date”) is defined as the “Transaction” herein.

 

On June 30, 2020, the Share Purchase Agreement was approved by the written consent of shareholders owning a majority (54.32%) of CCNC’s then outstanding common shares, the written consent of CCNC’s Board of Directors, and the written consent of the Audit Committee of CCNC’s Board of Directors. These written consents are sufficient under the laws of the State of Nevada without a vote of all of CCNC’s shareholders.

 

Subsequently, you (CCNC) have asked us to render our opinion to your Board of Directors as to whether the terms of the Transaction were fair, from a financial point of view, to you as the Seller.

 

For the absence of doubt, upon the Closing Date, the Buyer acquired all of the outstanding equity of the Company, including all of the outstanding equity of the Company’s subsidiaries which include Shengrong Environmental Protection Holding Company, Limited, a British Virgin Islands Company (“Shengrong BVI”), Hong Kong Shengrong Environmental Company, Limited, a Hong Kong Company (“Shengrong HK”), as well as Shengrong Environmental Protection Technology (Wuhan) Limited, a Company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“Shengrong Wuhan”, or “WOFE”). In addition, the Buyer acquired all of the outstanding equity of Shengrong Wuhan’s 100% owned subsidiary, Wuhan HOST Coating Materials, Limited, a Company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“Wuhan HOST”). All assets, liabilities, and contingencies of Sunlong were transferred from the Seller to the Buyer.

 

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Seller sold to the Buyer, and the Buyer purchased from the Seller, all of the Sunlong Shares free of any Encumbrance as defined in Section 1.01 therein. In exchange, the Payees tendered 1,012,932 shares of CCNC common stock to the Seller on behalf of the Buyer; no cash was tendered by the Payees or Buyer to the Seller. Per the representation of the Seller’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, the Payees’ tendered shares of CCNC were cancelled and associated stock powers were executed.

 

In the course of performing our review and analysis for rendering this opinion, we have:

 

Reviewed the Seller’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, which incorporated Sunlong’s operations as incorporated in its predecessors’ Form 10-Ks filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Reviewed the Seller’s and its predecessors’ unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared for interim periods from March 31, 2019 through June 30, 2020 as filed with the SEC.

 

Reviewed certain operating and financial information relating to Sunlong’s as well as CCNC’s business and prospects prepared at our direction, but that is not independently verifiable.

 

Reviewed the Seller’s other filings with the SEC since January 1, 2018, as well as those of its predecessor companies.

Annex B-1

 

 

 

Noted the Seller’s representations to us that all of Sunlong’s revenues, earnings and assets for 2018, 2019, and the xix-month period ending June 30, 2020 were attributable to operations located in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China and its immediate environs.

 

Noted the Seller’s representation that the effects of the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, Hubei, China in late 2019 caused it to determine to classify Sunlong’s operations as discontinued as of December 31, 2019.

 

Engaged in telephonic conversations with the Audit Committee Chairman of the Seller, who is also a Member of the Seller’s Board of Directors, to discuss the business, operations, historical and projected financial results, as well as future prospects of Sunlong.

 

Noted that the Buyer is a former Chief Executive Officer of the Seller.

 

Noted that the Sale was approved by written consent by shareholders who collectively held 54.32% of the equity of CCNC common stock as of June 30, 2020, some of whom are officers and directors of the Seller, as is permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada where the Seller is incorporated.

 

Noted that an entity controlled by the Buyer acquired 100% of the equity interests of a different subsidiary (Hubei Shengrong) of the Seller in December 2018, subsequent to her resignation as the Seller’s Chief Executive Officer. BSL did not render a fairness opinion for that transaction, did not act as a financial advisor to any party to that transaction, nor received any compensation arising from that transaction.

 

Reviewed publicly available financial data and trading multiples of companies which we deem generally comparable to Sunlong including publicly-traded hazardous waste processors which operate solely in the People’s Republic of China and HongKong, as well as publicly-traded hazardous waste companies of $100 Million of equity market capitalization or less.

 

Reviewed and analyzed certain publicly available information with respect to the terms of certain merger and acquisition transactions we deemed relevant to our analysis.

 

Considered that no cash was tendered to the Buyer or Payees to the Seller; given that this was a purchase of equity by the Buyer, the net liabilities of China Sunlong were transferred from the Seller to the Buyer.

 

Conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries, and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

 

In rendering our Opinion, we have relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to BSL by, or on behalf of, the Company, or that was otherwise reviewed by BSL, and have not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying any of such information. With respect to the revenue and expense forecasts supplied to us by CCNC, we also have relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that they were reasonably prepared on the basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of CCNC for the periods indicated, and that they provided a reasonable basis upon which we could form our opinion. Such forecasts were not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure. Such revenue and expense forecasts are based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions, as well as Sunlong’s concentration of operations in the Wuhan/Hubei region and the effects of the outbreak of COVID-19 in that area.

 

We also assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of the parties since the date of the last financial results of the Company made available to us with respect to both its operations and that of Sunlong. We did not make or obtain any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the Company’s assets or liabilities. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, BSL assumes no responsibility for their accuracy.

 

We understand all necessary regulatory or governmental approvals as well as all conditions to the Transaction have been satisfied and not waived. The Transaction was consummated substantially on the terms and conditions described in the Agreements, without any waiver of material terms or conditions by the Seller or any other party and without any anti- dilution or other adjustment to the Consideration, and that obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals or satisfying any other conditions for consummation of the Transaction did not have an adverse effect on either of parties or its closing. We have further assumed that CCNC has relied upon the advice of its counsel, independent accountants and other advisors (other than BSL) as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to the Company, the Agreements, the Buyer, and the Transaction.

Annex B-2

 

 

 

Our Opinion is limited to whether the Consideration is fair to CCNC, from a financial point of view, and does not address any other terms, aspects or implications of the Transaction, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Transaction, any consequences of the Transaction on CCNC, or the parties’ respective members, stockholders, creditors or otherwise, or any terms, aspects or implications of any voting, support, stockholder or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. Our Opinion also does not consider, address or include: (i) any other strategic or financial alternatives currently (or which have been or may be) contemplated by CCNC or its Board; (ii) the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the Transaction on CCNC or the respective members, or stockholders of the parties, and; (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the parties’ officers, directors or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the holders of the Company’s securities

 

Our Opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other conditions as they exist on, and on the information made available to us by or on behalf of CCNC or information otherwise reviewed by BSL, as of the date of this Opinion. We have especially considered the effects of the unforeseen and unforeseeable outbreak of COVID-19 in the Wuhan, Hubei region beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, and the consequent effect it may have had on Sunlong’s operations, prospects, and outlook since then. It is understood that subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in this Opinion and that BSL does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion. Our Opinion is for the information of, and directed to, the Board of CCNC for its information and assistance in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the Transaction. Our Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of CCNC as to how any such shareholder should vote at any meeting of its shareholders at which the Transaction may later be considered, or exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights that may be available to each such respective shareholder. In addition, the Opinion does not compare the relative merits of the Transaction with any other alternative transactions or business strategies which may have been available to CCNC, and does not address the underlying business decision of CCNC, its Board, or its shareholders to proceed with or effect the Transaction.

 

BSL, as part of its investment banking services, is regularly engaged in the independent valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, underwritings, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. In addition, CCNC has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. BSL does not currently provide investment banking services to CCNC, but may seek to provide investment banking services to CCNC and its respective affiliates in the future, for which we would seek customary compensation. In the ordinary course of business, BSL and our clients may transact in the securities of the various parties, and may, at any time, hold a long or short position in such securities.

 

It is understood that this letter is intended for the benefit and use of the Board of Directors of CCNC. This opinion does not address CCNC’s underlying business decision to pursue the Transaction, nor the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternate business strategies that might exist for CCNC or Sunlong, or the effects of any other transaction in which CCNC or Sunlong might engage. This letter is not to be used for any other purpose, or be reproduced, disseminated, quoted from or referred to at any time, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Our opinion is subject to the assumptions and conditions contained herein and is necessarily based on economic, market, and other conditions, and the information made available to us as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility for updating or revising our opinion based on circumstances or events occurring after the date hereof.

 

Neither BSL nor any of its affiliates have acted as a financial advisor to the Seller, Buyer, or Payees (collectively, the “Parties”), and have not received any other compensation from the Parties. Neither BSL nor any of its affiliates will receive any compensation for this fairness opinion from the Parties that is contingent upon the successful completion of the sale of Sunlong to the Buyer by the Seller, and will not receive any other contingent compensation if it is successfully completed. There have been no material relationships between BSL and its affiliates, and the Parties in the past two years, nor is there a mutual understanding between BSL nor any of its affiliates that are mutually understood to be contemplated in which any compensation was or will be rendered as a result of the relationship between BSL and the Parties.

 

This opinion was issued by the Fairness Committee of BSL. This opinion does not express any opinion about the fairness, amount, or nature of the compensation, if any, to the Seller’s officers, directors, employees, or any other class of such persons relative to the compensation to the public shareholders of the Seller, or those shareholders of the Seller who approved the sale of Sunlong by written consent relative to CCNC’s other shareholders.

 

As noted earlier herein, BSL was not able to independently verify much, if not most, of the information that was supplied to it by the Seller with respect to the Parties to the transaction that formed a substantial basis for this opinion, The Seller has represented to us that as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and measures taken by the government of the People’s Republic of China beginning in December 2019, and the governments of Hubei Province and the City of Wuhan thereafter, it decided to recognize a loss of ($11,448.459) in the fourth quarter of 2019 due to the suspension of Sunlong’s operations, resulting in a Sunlong shareholder deficit of ($9,931,567) as of December 31, 2019. The Seller has also represented to us that Sunlong had no revenue from December 2019 through June 30, 2020, the date the sale of Sunlong was approved as a result of the written consents mentioned earlier herein.

Annex B-3

 

 

 

We note, that our direction, the Seller prepared unaudited quarterly income statements and statements of financial position for Sunlong for each quarterly period since December 31, 2018. These statements confirmed that Sunlong had no revenue and had negative operating income in terms of its transactional currency (the renminbi/yuan) for the fourth quarter of 2019, and no revenue or operating income for the first and second quarter of 2020. Because of the depreciation of the transactional currency relative to the Company's functional currency ($USD) in Q4 2019, it had a reversal of revenue during that period expressed in dollar terms. This reversal of revenue in USD terms, which was solely due to exchange rate fluctuations, was not material to our opinion expressed herein. The audited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the Seller’s 10-K filed with the SEC for the period ended December 31, 2019 does state that there was a non-cash write-down and goodwill charges arising from the discontinuance of operations including Sunlong and its subsidiaries of ($16,048,048) for that period. CCNC recognized as a non-cash gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $6,951,617 in its unaudited 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2020, as filed with the SEC.

 

We consider that Wuhan, Hubei Province, China as the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic to be established fact. Accordingly, although we performed, examination of trailing multiples of comparable companies as well as recent merger and acquisition transaction multiples, we did not consider them material to our opinion given the concentration of Sunlong’s operations in Wuhan, Hubei. Moreover, given that the Seller has affirmed to us that Sunlong has no future dividend stream from operations, we were unable to perform a discounted cash flow valuation analysis to be considered within the context of this opinion. The Seller has represented to us that Sunlong and its subsidiaries were not able to recover from the loss of customers, employees and suppliers resulting from the four-month lockdown of Wuhan which ended in April 2020; however, we have not independently verified, nor can we independently verify, this representation.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Transaction pursuant to the Agreements is fair to CCNC (“Seller”), from a financial point of view as of the date of this letter given the Seller’s representations as to the effects of the COVID-19 virus on Sunlong’s operations commencing in the quarter ending December 31, 2019.

 

Sincerely yours,

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 – Nature of business and organization

 

Code Chain New Continent Limited (the “Company” or “CCNC”), formerly known as TMSR Holding Company Limited and JM Global Holding Company, was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 2015. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets. On June 20, 2018, CCNC completed a reincorporation and as a result, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada (the “Reincorporation”). The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of CCNC Nevada became the governing instruments of the Company, resulting in a 2-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Forward Split). The Reincorporation and Forward Split were approved by shareholders holding the majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCNC Delaware on June 1, 2018 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

On February 6, 2018, China Sunlong Environmental Technology Inc. (“China Sunlong”) consummated the business combination with the Company pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated as of August 28, 2017 by and among (i) the Company; (ii) Zhong Hui Holding Limited; (iii) China Sunlong; (iv) each of the shareholders of China Sunlong named on Annex I of the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Sellers”); and (v) Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the Chief Executive Officer and director of China Sunlong, in the capacity as the representative for the Sellers. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China Sunlong in exchange for 17,990,856 newly-issued shares of common stock of the Company to the Sellers. 1,799,088 of these newly-issued shares are held in escrow for 18 months from the closing date of the Business Combination as a security for China Sunlong and the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement. This transaction is accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of China Sunlong owns the majority of the outstanding shares of the Company immediately following the completion of the transaction and the Company’s operations was the operations of China Sunlong following the transaction. Accordingly, China Sunlong was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of China Sunlong. The financial statements of China Sunlong prior to February 6, 2018 are prepared on the basis as if the reorganization became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company.

As of April 2, 2018, the net assets of TJComex BVI were $16,598 and is being recorded as a loss from disposal of subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2018. As TJComex BVI operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s revenue and the disposal did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for TJComex BVI were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

On December 27, 2018, the Company, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Hopeway International Enterprises Limited., a private limited company duly organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (the “Hopeway”). Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, Shengrong WOFE shall sell 100% equity interests in Hubei Shengrong to Hopeway in exchange for Hopeway’s agreement to irrevocably forfeit and cancel 8,523,320 shares of common stock of the Company, constituting all the shares owned by Hopeway. The transaction contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement is hereby referred as Disposition. The Company’s decision to dispose of Hubei Shengrong is due to the planning mandates of Wuhan Municipal Government 2018 which manufactures should move away from city’s downtown area. Therefore, due to the policy change, Hubei Shengrong is forced to close the existing facility, relocate and build a new facility, which is expected to take approximately 7-8 years. As a result, Hubei Shengrong will not be able to keep the production running and will generate no income in the foreseeable future. Management believed it is very difficult, if possible at all, to continue manufacturing of solid waste recycling systems. As such, the Company has been actively seeking to dispose Hubei Shengrong while retaining the research and development and sale of solid waste recycling systems business. Upon closing of the Disposition, Hopeway will become the sole shareholder of Hubei Shengrong and as a result, assume all assets and obligations of Hubei Shengrong except the research and development team and intellectual property rights in connection with the solid waste recycling systems business shall be assigned to Shengrong WFOE as part of the Disposition. As Shengrong WFOE has significant continuing involvement in the sale of solid waste recycling systems business and the processed industrial waste materials trading business, this restructuring did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Therefore, the results of operations for Hubei Shengrong were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

These proforma financial statements, accompanying notes, and related disclosures have been prepared on an as-if basis assuming that the disposition transaction between the Company, Sunlong, Jiazhen Li and Long Liao has been in effect since the beginning of the period presented. The financial position and results of operations are deconsolidated using historical financial statements. Actual deconsolidated results may have differed from those presented herein. The information included in this Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2020.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of the accompanying proforma 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s proforma financial statements include the useful lives of intangible assets, deferred revenues and plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of receivables, inventory valuation allowance, present value of lease liabilities and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation and transaction

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs in China conduct businesses in the local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period. The statement of income accounts is translated at the average translation rates and the equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and 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 as incurred.

 

The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Company because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.

On March 31, 2017, China Sunlong completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity in TJComex International Group Corporation (“TJComex BVI”). At the closing of such acquisition, the selling shareholders of TJComex BVI received 5,935 shares of China Sunlong Common Stock valued at $926.71 per share for 100% of their equity in TJComex BVI. TJComex BVI owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TJComex Hong Kong Company Limited (“TJComex HK”), a Hong Kong limited liability company, which owns 100% equity interest of Tianjin Corro Technological Consulting Co., Ltd. (“TJComex WFOE”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated under the laws of the PRC. Pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, TJComex WFOE controls Tianjin Commodity Exchange Co., Ltd. (“TJComex Tianjin”), a limited liability company incorporated under the law of the PRC. TJComex Tianjin is engaged in general merchandise trading business and related consulting services, and its headquarter is located in the city of Tianjin, PRC.

 

On April 2, 2018, China Sunlong disposed of its subsidiary, TJComex BVI in consideration of (i) its minimum contribution to China Sunlong’s results of operation and (ii) the unsatisfactory synergy between the TJComex BVI business and the rest of China Sunlong’s business. China Sunlong’s decision to dispose of TJComex BVI is to (i) improve the Company’s overall financial condition and results of operations, (ii) reduce the complexity of China Sunlong’s business, (iii) focus China Sunlong’s resources on the solid waste recycling business as well as developing environmental control business opportunities; and (iv) make it possible for China Sunlong to pursue acquisition opportunities for more compatible businesses. TJComex BVI was disposed to Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the director of China Sunlong.

 

As of April 2, 2018, the net assets of TJComex BVI were $16,598 and is being recorded as a loss from disposal of subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2018. As TJComex operating revenue was less than 1% of the China Sunlong’s revenue and the disposal did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on China Sunlong’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for TJComex were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

Since Shengrong WFOE did not provide any cash contribution to Fujian Shengrong or technology services, the investment balance under the cost method investment on June 30, 2020 is $0.

On November 30, 2018, the CCNC entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Jirong Huang and Qihuang Wang (collectively “Sellers”) and Jiangsu Rong Hai Electric Power Fuel Co., Ltd. (“Rong Hai”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the sale of fuel materials and harbor cargo handling services. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, CCNC shall issue an aggregate of 4,630,000 shares of CCNC’s common stock to the Rong Hai Shareholders, in exchange for Rong Hai Shareholders’ agreement to enter into, and their agreement to cause Rong Hai to enter into, certain VIE Agreements (the “Rong Hai VIE Agreements”) with Shengrong WFOE, through which Shengrong WFOE shall have the right to control, manage and operate Rong Hai in return for a service fee approximately equal to 100% of Rong Hai’s net income (“Acquisition”). On November 30, 2018, Shengrong WFOE, entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Rong Hai and the Rong Hai Shareholders. The VIE Agreements are designed to provide Shengrong WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Rong Hai, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Rong Hai. Rong Hai has the necessary license to carry out coal trading business in China. The Acquisition closed on November 30, 2018. Starting on November 30, 2018, the Company’s business activities added coal wholesales and sales of coke, steels, construction materials, mechanical equipment and steel scrap, of which business activities are carried out in Nantong, Jiang Su Province, PRC.

 

On December 27, 2018, CCNC, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Hopeway International Enterprises Limited., a private limited company duly organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (the “Hopeway”). Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, Shengrong WOFE shall sell 100% equity interests in Hubei Shengrong to Hopeway in exchange for Hopeway’s agreement to irrevocably forfeit and cancel 8,523,320 shares of common stock of CCNC, constituting all the shares owned by Hopeway. The transaction contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement is hereby referred as Disposition. CCNC’s decision to dispose of Hubei Shengrong is due to the planning mandates of Wuhan Municipal Government 2018 which manufactures should move away from city’s downtown area. Therefore, due to the policy change, Hubei Shengrong is forced to close the existing facility, relocate and build a new facility, which is expected to take approximately 7-8 years. As a result, Hubei Shengrong will not be able to keep the production running and will generate no income in the foreseeable future. Management believed it is very difficult, if possible at all, to continue manufacturing of solid waste recycling systems. As such, CCNC has been actively seeking to dispose Hubei Shengrong while retaining the research and development and sale of solid waste recycling systems business. Upon closing of the Disposition, Hopeway will become the sole shareholder of Hubei Shengrong and as a result, assume all assets and obligations of Hubei Shengrong except the research and development team and intellectual property rights in connection with the solid waste recycling systems business shall be assigned to Shengrong WFOE as part of the Disposition. As Shengrong WFOE has significant continuing involvement in the sale of solid waste recycling systems business and the processed industrial waste materials trading business, this restructuring did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on China Sunlong’s operations and financial results. Therefore, the results of operations for Hubei Shengrong were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

 

On April 30, 2020,  Tongrong Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (“Tongrong WFOE”), an indirect subsidiary of CCNC, entered into a series of assignment agreements with Shengrong WFOE, Rong Hai and shareholders of Rong Hai, pursuant to which Shengrong WFOE assign all its rights and obligations under the Rong Hai VIE Agreements to Tongrong WFOE. The Rong Hai VIE Agreements and the Assignment Agreements grant Tongrong WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Rong Hai, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Rong Hai. 

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Method of accounting

 

Management has prepared the accompanying financial statements and these notes in accordance to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America; the Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements 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. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less, and unencumbered bank deposits to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts receivables

 

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off against allowances.

 

F-13

 

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods costs include: materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs, and allocated overhead. The Company applies the weighted average cost method to its inventory.

 

Advances and prepayments to suppliers

 

The Company makes advance payment to suppliers and vendors for the procurement of raw materials. Upon physical receipt and inspection of the raw materials from suppliers the applicable amount is reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory.

 

 

Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment

 

Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment represent direct and indirect acquisition and construction costs for plants, and costs of acquisition and installation of related equipment. Amounts classified as construction in progress and prepayments for equipment are transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Depreciation is not provided for assets classified in this account.

 

Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may be the result of becoming obsolete from a change in the industry, introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital to utilize the long-lived assets to generate the adequate profits. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its expected future undiscounted cash flows.

 

If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Statutory reserves

 

Statutory reserves are referring to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10% of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum that is equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.

  

Foreign currency translation

 

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currencies of the Company are in Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates, and its revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the year. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

 

    6/30/2020     12/31/2019     12/31/2018  
Year end RMB: US$ exchange rate     7.0795       6.9762       6.8764  
Annual average RMB: US$ exchange rate     7.0292       6.8967       6.5137  

 

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies and all foreign exchange transactions must be conducted through authorized financial institutions.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when all the following criteria have been met: it has negotiated the terms of the transaction with the customer which includes setting a fixed sales price, it has transferred of possession of the product to the customer, the customer does not have the right to return the product, the customer is able to further sell or transfer the product onto others for economic benefit without any other obligation to be fulfilled by the Company, and the Company is reasonably assured that funds have been or will be collected from the customer. The Company's the amount of revenue recognized to the books reflects the value of goods invoiced, net of any value-added tax (VAT) or excise tax.

Retirement benefits

 

Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government sponsored defined contribution plans are charged to the either expenses as incurred or allocated to inventory as part of overhead.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

 

Comprehensive income

 

The Company uses FASB ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders due to investments by stockholders.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share”. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive effects of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warrants are calculated using the treasury stock method. Securities that are potentially an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices 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.
     
  Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, determined in Step 1. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statements of this guidance.

 

In January 2017, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for business combinations. The amendments clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.

 

The Company is evaluated the timing and the impact of the aforesaid guidance on the financial statements.
