East and Europe. To be fully developed upon completion, within the logistics center, there will be six operating zones: port operation
area, warehouse and distribution area, cold chain logistics area, rail cargo loading area, exhibition area and business-related
area. The logistics center is also expected to provide a number of shipping berths for cargo ships of various sizes. Wuhan Newport
is expected to provide domestic and foreign businesses a direct access to the anticipated Pilot Free Trade Zone in Wuhan. The
project will include commercial buildings, professional logistic supply chain centers, direct access to the Yangtze River, Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe
Railway and ground transportation, storage and processing centers, IT supporting services, among others.
Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics
Center

The Logistics Center located
within the Wuhan Newport Yangluo Port, on the upper stream of the Yangtze River, and close to the northern base of Wu Iron and
Steel, China's first mega-sized iron and steel production complex. The Logistics Center is expected to include a port terminal
that will be located approximately 26.5km from the Wuhan Guan and 5.5km from the Yangluo Yangtze River Bridge. The operation area
of the port is expected to consist of a riverbank of 1,039 meters with eight 5,000-to-10,000-ton berths, two of which are multi-purpose
berths and the other six are general cargo berths. It is designed to be able to handle up to 5,000,000 tons of cargo annually,
including up to 100,000 TEU for annual container throughput (including 20,000 TEU in freezers areas), 1,000,000 tons of iron and
steel and 3,000,000 tons of general cargo
Within the Logistics Center,
functional areas will be divided into six operating zones: a port operation area, a warehouse and distribution area, a cold chain
supply logistics area, a rail cargo loading area, an exhibition area and a business related area. The Logistics Center will also
be complemented with container storage areas, multi-functional areas, general storage areas, multi-functional warehouse and infrastructural
development, including new roads, gas stations, parking areas, gas and water pipes, electricity lines and all other facilities
and equipment to operate the Logistics Center.
Aside from being situated in
the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Yangluo development area is amongst the third group of China’s Pilot Free Trade
Zone (FTZ) applicants to submit FTZ applications to the State Council through the Wuhan municipal government for approval. Thus
far, approvals have been granted to Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Corporations within the approved free trade zones
are typically entitled to a series of favorable regulations and policies that could help the businesses grow and succeed.
Wuhan Newport has signed a twenty-year
lease agreement, maximum number of years permitted by the applicable PRC laws, and with rights to renew at its sole discretion
effective April 27, 2015 to lease approximately 1,200,000 square meters of land for building logistics warehouses in support of
the Logistics Center. The warehouses are expected to comprise of port terminal zones, warehouse logistics zones, cold chain supply
zones and railroad loading and unloading zones. The warehouses, once constructed, will connect the port terminal along the Yangtze
River and the railways leading to Europe, satisfying the requirement of China’s latest “One Belt One Road” initiative.
It will also be able to support large logistics companies in Wuhan and other nearby provinces which will rent the warehouses,
terminals and offices within the Logistics Center.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves
a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included
in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline,
and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward
Looking Statements” below for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance
of such statements in the context of this prospectus.
Risks Relating to Our Business
MAJORITY OF OUR BUSINESS, ASSETS AND
OPERATIONS ARE LOCATED IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
Majority of our business, assets and operations
are located in the People’s Republic of China. The economy of the PRC differs from the economies of most developed countries
in many respects. The economy of the PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy. Although in
recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the
reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises,
a substantial portion of productive assets in the PRC is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues
to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over the
PRC’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations,
setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Some of these measures benefit
the overall economy of the PRC, but may have a negative effect on us.
WE DERIVE MAJORITY OF OUR REVENUES FROM
SALES IN THE PRC AND ANY DOWNTURN IN THE CHINESE ECONOMY COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Majority of our revenues are expected to
be generated from sales of our properties and services in the PRC and we anticipate that revenues from such sales will continue
to represent the substantial portion of our total revenues in the near future. Our sales and earnings can also be affected by changes
in the general economy. Our success is influenced by a number of economic factors which affect consumer income, such as employment
levels, business conditions, interest rates, oil and gas prices and taxation rates. Adverse changes in these economic factors,
among others, may restrict consumer spending, thereby negatively affecting our sales and profitability.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT
REGULATION THAT COULD CAUSE US TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES OR RESTRICT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.
Regulatory requirements could cause us
to incur significant liabilities and operating expenses and could restrict our business activities. We are subject to statutes
and rules regulating, among other things, certain developmental matters, building and site design, and matters concerning the protection
of health and the environment. Our operating expenses may be increased by governmental regulations, such as building permit allocation
ordinances and impact and other fees and taxes that may be imposed to defray the cost of providing certain governmental services
and improvements. Any delay or refusal from government agencies to grant us necessary licenses, permits, and approvals could have
an adverse effect on our operations.
OUR SALES WILL BE AFFECTED IF MORTGAGE
FINANCING BECOMES MORE COSTLY OR OTHERWISE BECOMES LESS ATTRACTIVE.
Certain purchasers of our properties are
expected to rely on mortgages to finance their purchases. An increase in interest rates may significantly increase the cost of
mortgage financing, thus affecting the affordability of our properties. The PRC government and commercial banks may also increase
the down payment requirement, impose other conditions or otherwise change the regulatory framework in a manner that would make
mortgage financing unavailable or unattractive to potential property purchasers. If the availability or attractiveness of mortgage
financing is reduced or limited, many of our prospective customers may not be able to purchase our properties and, as a result,
our business, liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected.
THE PRACTICE OF PRE-SELLING PROJECTS
MAY EXPOSE US TO SUBSTANTIAL LIABILITIES.
It is common practice by property developers
in China to pre-sell properties (while still under construction), which involves certain risks. For example, we may fail to
complete a property development that may have been fully or partially pre-sold, which would leave us liable to purchasers of pre-sold
units for losses suffered by them without adequate resources to pay the liability if funds have been used on the project. In addition,
if a pre-sold property development is not completed on time, the purchasers of pre-sold units may be entitled to compensation for
late delivery. If the delay extends beyond a certain period, the purchasers may be entitled to terminate the pre-sale agreement
and pursue a claim for damages that exceeds the amount paid and our ability to recoup the resulting liability from future sales.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THIRD-PARTY SUBCONTRACTORS,
MANUFACTURERS, AND DISTRIBUTORS FOR ALL ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. A DISCONTINUED
SUPPLY OF SUCH SERVICES AND MATERIALS WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROJECTS.
We are dependent on third-party subcontractors,
manufacturers, and distributors for all architecture, engineering and construction services, and construction materials. A discontinued
supply of such services and materials will adversely affect our construction projects and the success of the Company.
WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE
FLUCTUATION IN RAW MATERIAL PRICES AND SELLING PRICES OF OUR PROPERTIES.
The land and raw materials that are used
in our projects have experienced significant price fluctuations in the past. There is no assurance that they will not be subject
to future price fluctuations or pricing control. The land and raw materials that are used in our projects may experience price
volatility caused by events such as market fluctuations or changes in governmental programs. The market price of land and raw materials
may also experience significant upward adjustment, if, for instance, there is a material under-supply or over-demand in the market.
These price changes may ultimately result in increases in the selling prices of our properties, and may, in turn, adversely affect
our sales volume, sales, operating income, and net income.
WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION FROM OTHER
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS AND/OR LOGISTICIS COMPANIES.
Real estate and logistics industry in the
PRC are both highly competitive. Many of our competitors are well capitalized and have greater financial, marketing, and other
resources than we have. Some also have larger land banks, greater economies of scale, broader name recognition, a longer track
record, and more established relationships in certain markets. Competition among property developers may result in increased costs
for the acquisition of land for development, increased costs for raw materials, shortages of skilled contractors, oversupply of
properties, decrease in property prices in certain parts of the PRC, a slowdown in the rate at which new buildings are approved
and/or reviewed by the relevant government authorities and an increase in administrative costs for hiring or retaining qualified
personnel, any of which may adversely affect our business and financial condition. Furthermore, property developers that are better
capitalized than we are may be more competitive in acquiring land through the auction process. If we cannot respond to changes
in market conditions as promptly and effectively as our competitors or effectively compete for land acquisition through the auction
systems and acquire other factors of production, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
OVER-SUPPLY OF REAL ESTATE
PROPERTIES COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE AFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Most of our assets consist of
real estate properties within the premise of our Logistics Center. While our business will primarily revolve around the services
provided by the Logistics Center, we expect to sell and/or lease properties to other businesses to generate revenue. Although
we expect the value of our real estate properties to appreciate upon Yangluo Port’s obtaining the approval of the “Free
Trade Zone” status, risk of property over-supply is increasing in parts of China on a macro-level, where property investment,
trading and speculation have become overly active. We are exposed to the risk that in the event of actual or perceived over-supply,
property prices may fall drastically, and our revenue and profitability will be adversely affected. If we cannot sell or lease
our properties at a favorable price, we may not have the necessary capital resources to fully execute our business plan and therefore
our results of operations will be adversely affected.
WE HAVE LIMITED INSURANCE COVERAGE
AGAINST DAMAGES OR LOSS WE MIGHT SUFFER.
We do not carry business interruption insurance
and therefore any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial damages or losses to us. In addition, there
are certain types of losses (such as losses from forces of nature) that are generally not insured because either they are uninsurable
or insurance cannot be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits
occur, our business could be materially adversely affected. If we were to suffer any losses or damages to our properties, our business,
financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
OUR OPERATING COMPANIES MUST COMPLY
WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LAWS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY.
We are required to comply with the environmental
protection laws and regulations promulgated by the national and local governments of the PRC. Some of these regulations govern
the level of fees payable to government entities providing environmental protection services and the prescribed standards relating
to construction. Although construction technologies allow us to efficiently control the level of pollution resulting from our construction
process, due to the nature of our business, wastes are unavoidably generated in the processes. If we fail to comply with any of
these environmental laws and regulations in the PRC, depending on the types and seriousness of the violation, we may be subject
to, among other things, warning from relevant authorities, imposition of fines, specific performance and/or criminal liability,
forfeiture of profits made, or an order to close down our business operations and suspension of relevant permits.
THE OPERATING HISTORIES OF OUR OPERATING
COMPANIES MAY NOT SERVE AS ADEQUATE BASES TO JUDGE OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The operating histories of Wuhan Newport
may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business following consummation of the Second Share Exchange. Although
the business of our Wuhan Newport has grown rapidly since their respective inceptions, we cannot guarantee that we can achieve
profitability or that we will have net profit in the future. We will encounter risks and difficulties that companies at a similar
stage of development frequently experience, including the potential failure to:
|
·
|
obtain sufficient working capital to support
our development and construction;
|
|
·
|
manage our expanding operations and continue
to meet customers’ demands;
|
|
·
|
maintain adequate control of our expenses
allowing us to realize anticipated income growth;
|
|
·
|
implement, adapt and modify our property
development, sales, and business strategies as needed;
|
|
·
|
successfully integrate any future acquisitions;
and
|
|
·
|
anticipate and adapt to changing conditions
in the real estate industry resulting from changes in government regulations, mergers and acquisitions involving our competitors,
technological developments and other significant competitive and market dynamics.
|
If we are not successful in addressing
any or all of the foregoing risks, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTE
OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Since China is a large and diverse market,
consumer trends and demands may vary significantly by region and Wuhan Newport’s experience in the markets in which it currently
operates may not be applicable in other parts of China. As a result, we may not be able to leverage Wuhan Newport’s experience
to fully execute our business strategy and plan. When we enter new markets, we may face intense competition from companies with
greater experience or an established presence in the targeted geographical areas or from other companies with similar business
strategy. Therefore, we may not be able to adequately grow our sales due intense competitive pressures and or the substantial costs
involved.
OUR FAILURE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE GROWTH
MAY CAUSE A DISRUPTION OF OUR OPERATIONS RESULTING IN THE FAILURE TO GENERATE REVENUE AT LEVELS WE EXPECT.
In order to maximize potential growth in
Wuhan Newport’s current and potential markets, we believe that we must be able to sell our properties and obtain clients
to use the services provided by our Logistics Center to ensure the sustainable development capability of the Company and to maintain
our operations. This strategy may place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information
systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures, and management information
systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Our failure to effectively manage our operations
could prevent us from generating the revenues we expect and therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND
OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
If adequate additional financing is not
available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to undertake ongoing real estate construction or continue to develop and expand
the services of our Logistics Center, which may as a result impact our cash flow and we would have to modify our business plans
accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us.
In connection with our growth strategies,
we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without
additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the development
of competitive projects undertaken by our competition; and (iii) the level of our investment in construction and development. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
If we cannot obtain additional funding,
we may be required to: (i) limit our operation and expansion; (ii) limit our marketing efforts; and (iii) decrease or eliminate
capital expenditures. Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.
Even if we do find a source of additional
capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are favorable to us. Any
future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders.
In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges
senior to the common stock offered hereof. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to
us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES TO
MEET OUR OPEARATIONAL NEEDS.
Our future success also depends upon our
ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. We may need to additional managers and employees with industry experience
from time to time, and our success will be highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and
other employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for
skilled personnel in the real estate or logistics industry is significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive
to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees.
WE WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH UNITED STATES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS.
We will incur significant costs associated
with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including
requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules
and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming
and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to
obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially
higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract or retain qualified
individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional
costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
OUR CERTIFICATES,
PERMITS, AND LICENSES RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL AND RENEWAL, AND FAILURE TO OBTAIN OR RENEW
SUCH CERTIFICATES, PERMITS, AND LICENSES WILL CAUSE ALL OR PART OF OUR OPERATIONS TO BE TERMINATED.
Our operations
require licenses, permits and, in some cases, renewals of these licenses and permits from various governmental authorities in
the PRC. Our ability to obtain, maintain, or renew such licenses and permits on acceptable terms are subject to change, as, among
other things, the regulations and policies of applicable governmental authorities may change.
If our land use
permits are revoked or suspended or we are unable to renew the permits for any reason, we cannot assure you that our business operations
will not be stopped and, correspondingly, our financial performance would be adversely affected.
OUR FACILITIES
AND INVENTORY MAY BE AFFECTED BY FIRE OR NATURAL CALAMITIES. OUR OPERATIONS ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE RISK OF POWER OUTAGE, EQUIPMENT
FAILURE OR LABOR DISTURBANCES AND OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS. WE HAVE LIMITED INSURANCE COVERAGE AND DO NOT CARRY ANY BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION INSURANCE.
A fire, floods
or other natural calamity may result in significant damage to our production facilities and inventory. Our operations are subject
to risks of various business interruptions, including power outage, equipment failure or disturbances that resulted from labor
unrest. If we are unable to obtain timely replacements of damaged inventory or equipment, or if we are unable to find an acceptable
contract manufacturer in the event our production facilities are damaged by a catastrophic event, then major disruptions to our
production would result which would have significant adverse effect on our operations and financial results. Our property insurance
may not be sufficient to cover damages to our production facilities, and we do not carry any business interruption insurance covering
lost profits as a result of the disruption to our production.
Risks Relating to Doing Business in China
LABOR LAWS IN THE PRC MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
On June 29, 2007, the PRC government promulgated
the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, which became effective on January 1, 2008. The Labor Contract Law imposes greater liabilities
on employers and significantly affects the cost of an employer’s decision to reduce its workforce. Further, it requires certain
terminations be based upon seniority and not merit. In the event we decide to significantly change or decrease our workforce, the
Labor Contract Law could adversely affect our ability to enact such changes in a manner that is most advantageous to our business
or in a timely and cost-effective manner, thus materially and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO LIABILITIES UNDER
THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT AND CHINESE ANTI-CORRUPTION LAW.
In connection with this offering, we will
become subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or
offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the
statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We are also subject to Chinese anti-corruption laws, which strictly
prohibit the payment of bribes to government officials. We have operations, agreements with third parties, and make sales in China,
which may experience corruption. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one
of the employees, consultants or distributors of our company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. We are
in process of implementing an anticorruption program, which prohibits the offering or giving of anything of value to foreign officials,
directly or indirectly, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. The anticorruption program also requires that clauses
mandating compliance with our policy be included in all contracts with foreign sales agents, sales consultants and distributors
and that they certify their compliance with our policy annually. It further requires that all hospitality involving promotion of
sales to foreign governments and government-owned or controlled entities be in accordance with specified guidelines. In the meantime,
we believe to date we have complied in all material respects with the provisions of the FCPA and Chinese anti-corruption laws.
However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants
or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese
anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could
negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company
liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
UNCERTAINTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PRC
LEGAL SYSTEM COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT US.
We conduct a substantial amount of our
business through our subsidiary in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRC subsidiary
is generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations
applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for
reference but have limited precedential value.
Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations
have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed
a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities
in China. In particular, because some of these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published
decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties.
In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on
a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies
and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL OF CURRENCY CONVERSION
MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
The PRC government imposes controls on
the convertibility of the Renminbi, or “RMB” into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency
out of China. We receive some revenues and incur some expenses in U.S. dollars but incurs other expenses primarily in RMB. Although
our main business are based in mainland China or based in Hong Kong with Chinese operating subsidiaries, some of our business may
require us to use U.S. dollars. We choose quotations based on price competitiveness.
Under our current corporate structure,
our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from our PRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency
may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or
otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of
current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions can be
made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval
from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China
to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion
restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents
us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies
to our security-holders.
WE ARE A HOLDING COMPANY AND WE RELY
FOR FUNDING ON DIVIDEND PAYMENTS FROM OUR SUBSIDIARIES, WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS UNDER PRC LAWS.
We are a holding company incorporated in
Nevada and we operate our core businesses through our subsidiary in the PRC. Therefore, the availability of funds for us to pay
dividends to our shareholders and to service our indebtedness depends upon dividends received from these PRC subsidiary. If our
subsidiary incurs debt or losses, their ability to pay dividends or other distributions to us may be impaired. As a result, our
ability to pay dividends and to repay our indebtedness will be restricted. PRC laws require that dividends be paid only out of
the after-tax profit of our PRC subsidiary calculated according to PRC accounting principles, which differ in many aspects from
generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions. PRC laws also require enterprises established in the PRC to set
aside part of their after-tax profits as statutory reserves. These statutory reserves are not available for distribution as cash
dividends. In addition, restrictive covenants in bank credit facilities or other agreements that we or our subsidiary may enter
into in the future may also restrict the ability of our subsidiary to pay dividends to us. These restrictions on the availability
of our funding may impact our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders and to service our indebtedness.
OUR BUSINESS MAY BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY
AFFECTED IF ANY OF OUR PRC SUBSIDIARY DECLARES BANKRUPTCY OR BECOME SUBJECT TO A DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDING.
The Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the PRC,
or the Bankruptcy Law, came into effect on June 1, 2007. The Bankruptcy Law provides that an enterprise will be liquidated if the
enterprise fails to settle its debts as and when they fall due and if the enterprise’s assets are, or are demonstrably, insufficient
to clear such debts.
Our PRC subsidiary holds certain assets
that are important to our business operations. If our PRC subsidiary undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding,
unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business,
which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
According to the SAFE’s Notice of
the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies for Direct
Investment, effective on December 17, 2012, and the Provisions for Administration of Foreign Exchange Relating to Inbound Direct
Investment by Foreign Investors, effective May 13, 2013, if our PRC subsidiary undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation
proceeding, prior approval from the SAFE for remittance of foreign exchange to our shareholders abroad is no longer required, but
we still need to conduct a registration process with the SAFE local branch. It is not clear whether “registration”
is a mere formality or involves the kind of substantive review process undertaken by SAFE and its relevant branches in the past.
FLUCTUATIONS IN EXCHANGE RATES COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND THE VALUE OF OUR SECURITIES.
Changes in the value of the RMB against
the U.S. dollar, Euro and other foreign currencies are affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and
economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition,
and the value of, and any dividends payable on our shares in U.S. dollar terms. For example, to the extent that we need to convert
U.S. dollars we receive from our offering into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have
an adverse effect on RMB amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars
for the purpose of paying dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against
the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.
Since July 2005, the RMB is no longer pegged
to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant
short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar
in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in
the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.
Very limited hedging transactions are available
in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While
we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited,
and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified
by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.
IF WE BECOME DIRECTLY SUBJECT TO THE
RECENT SCRUTINY, CRITICISM AND NEGATIVE PUBLICITY INVOLVING U.S.-LISTED CHINESE COMPANIES, WE MAY HAVE TO EXPEND SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES
TO INVESTIGATE AND RESOLVE THE MATTER WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, THIS OFFERING AND OUR REPUTATION AND COULD RESULT
IN A LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES, ESPECIALLY IF SUCH MATTER CANNOT BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED FAVORABLY.
Recently, U.S. public companies that have
substantially all of their operations in China, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by
investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity
has centered around financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate
corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in some cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny,
criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value
and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement
actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide
scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our company, our business and this offering. If we become the subject of
any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources
to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. This situation may be a major distraction to our management. If such
allegations are not proven to be groundless, our company and business operations will be severely hampered and your investment
in our shares could be rendered worthless.
CERTAIN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
RELATING TO THE PRC COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR COMPANY.
While the PRC government has pursued economic
reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under five-year
plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and
restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct
and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented or experimental,
and are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment
of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future
business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions
as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation
thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition
of restrictions on currency conversion in addition to those described below.
SINCE MOST OF OUR ASSETS ARE LOCATED
IN PRC, ANY DIVIDENDS OF PROCEEDS FROM LIQUIDATION WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE RELEVANT CHINESE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.
Our operating assets are located inside
PRC. Under the laws governing Foreign Invested Enterprise (“FIE”) in the PRC, dividend distribution and liquidation
are allowed but subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividends of proceeds from liquidation will
be paid through Wuhan Newport, our PRC subsidiary, which is subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject to foreign
exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation of a FIE is subject to the relevant commerce authority’s approval,
registration in relevant Administration for Industry and Commerce and supervision as well as the foreign exchange control. Though
the dividends of proceeds from liquidation can be remitted out of China to the investor after approved by the commerce authority
and SAFE, we cannot assure that we can always obtain such approvals. This may generate additional risk for our investors in case
of dividend payment and liquidation.
IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO EFFECT SERVICE
OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF LEGAL JUDGMENTS UPON OUR COMPANY AND OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS BECAUSE THEY RESIDE OUTSIDE THE UNITED
STATES.
As our operations are based in the PRC
and a majority of our directors and officers reside in the PRC, service of process on the Company and such foreign directors and
officers may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, our main assets are located in the PRC and any judgment obtained
in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT EXERTS SUBSTANTIAL
INFLUENCE OVER THE MANNER IN WHICH WE MUST CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.
We are dependent on our relationship with
the local government in the provinces in which we operate our business. The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise
substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate
in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations,
land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that Wuhan Newport’s operations in China are in material compliance
with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose
new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on
our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including
any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or
local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or
particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.
Future inflation in China may inhibit our
ability to conduct business in China. In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high
rates of inflation. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our properties
rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on profitability.
These factors have led to the adoption by Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict
the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause Chinese government
to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby
harm the market for our products.
IF OUR LAND USE RIGHTS ARE REVOKED,
WE WOULD HAVE NO OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES.
Under PRC law, land is owned by the state
or rural collective economic organizations. The state issues to tenants the rights to use property. Use rights can be revoked
and the tenants may be forced to vacate at any time when redevelopment of the land is in the public interest. The public interest
rationale is interpreted quite broadly and the process of land appropriation may be less than transparent. The Company relies
on these land use rights as the cornerstone of their operations, and the loss of such rights would have a material adverse effect
on our Company.
OUR SALES
AND OPERATING REVENUES COULD DECLINE DUE TO MACRO-ECONOMIC AND OTHER FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL, SUCH AS CHANGES IN CLIENT
CONFIDENCE AND DECLINES IN EMPLOYMENT LEVELS.
The real estate and logistics market in
China is susceptible to fluctuations in economic conditions. Our business substantially depends on the prevailing economic conditions
in China. Changes in national and regional economic conditions, as well as local economic conditions where the Company conducts
its operations and where prospective purchasers of its homes live, may result in more caution on the part of market participants
and consequently fewer purchases. These economic uncertainties involve, among other things, conditions of supply and demand in
local markets and changes in client confidence and income, employment levels, and government regulations. These risks and uncertainties
could periodically have an adverse effect on consumer demand for and the pricing of our homes, which could cause our operating
revenues to decline. A reduction in our revenues could in turn negatively affect the market price of our securities.
LIMITATIONS
ON CHINESE ECONOMIC MARKET REFORMS MAY DISCOURAGE FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN CHINESE BUSINESSES.
The value of investments
in Chinese businesses could be adversely affected by political, economic and social uncertainties in China. The economic reforms
introduced in China in recent years are regarded by China’s national government as a way to introduce economic market forces
into China. Given the overriding desire of the national government leadership to maintain stability in China amid rapid social
and economic changes in the country, the economic market reforms of recent years could be slowed, or even reversed.
PRC REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF OFFSHORE SPECIAL PURPOSE COMPANIES BY PRC RESIDENTS MAY SUBJECT OUR PRC RESIDENT SHAREHOLDERS TO PENALTIES AND LIMIT OUR ABILITY
TO INJECT CAPITAL INTO OUR PRC SUBSIDIARIES, LIMIT OUR PRC SUBSIDIARIES’ ABILITY TO DISTRIBUTE PROFITS TO US, OR OTHERWISE
ADVERSELY AFFECT US.
The SAFE promulgated the Notice on Relevant
Issues Relating to Domestic Resident’s Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles,
or Notice 37, in July 2014 that requires PRC residents or entities to register with SAFE or its local branch in connection with
their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing. In addition,
such PRC residents or entities must update their SAFE registrations when the offshore special purpose vehicle undergoes material
events relating to material change of capitalization or structure of the PRC resident itself (such as capital increase, capital
reduction, share transfer or exchange, merger or spin off). As of October 16, 2015, the 9 of our 10 shareholders who are Chinese
residents have completed the registration with SAFE under this Notice.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE INDIVIDUAL
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RULES RELATING TO THE OVERSEAS DIRECT INVESTMENT OR THE ENGAGEMENT IN THE ISSUANCE OR TRADING OF SECURITIES OVERSEAS
BY OUR PRC RESIDENT STOCKHOLDERS MAY SUBJECT SUCH STOCKHOLDERS TO FINES OR OTHER LIABILITIES.
Other than Notice 37, our ability to
conduct foreign exchange activities in the PRC may be subject to the interpretation and enforcement of the Implementation Rules
of the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange promulgated by SAFE in January 2007 (as amended and supplemented,
the
“
Individual Foreign
Exchange Rules
”). Under the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules, any PRC individual seeking to make a direct investment
overseas or engage in the issuance or trading of negotiable securities or derivatives overseas must make the appropriate registrations
in accordance with SAFE provisions. PRC individuals who fail to make such registrations may be subject to warnings, fines or other
liabilities.
We may not be fully informed of the identities
of all our beneficial owners who are PRC residents. For example, because the investment in or trading of our shares will happen
in an overseas public or secondary market where shares are often held with brokers in brokerage accounts, it is unlikely that we
will know the identity of all of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents. Furthermore, we have no control over any of our future
beneficial owners and we cannot assure you that such PRC residents will be able to complete the necessary approval and registration
procedures required by the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules.
It is uncertain how the Individual Foreign
Exchange Rules will be interpreted or enforced and whether such interpretation or enforcement will affect our ability to conduct
foreign exchange transactions. Because of this uncertainty, we cannot be sure whether the failure by any of our PRC resident stockholders
to make the required registration will subject our PRC subsidiaries to fines or legal sanctions on their operations, delay or restriction
on repatriation of proceeds of this offering into the PRC, restriction on remittance of dividends or other punitive actions that
would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
PRC REGULATIONS
RELATING TO ACQUISITIONS OF PRC COMPANIES BY FOREIGN ENTITIES MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO ACQUIRE PRC COMPANIES AND ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY AS WELL AS OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS.
The PRC State
Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a public notice in January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on
mergers and acquisitions in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company controlled by PRC residents intends to
acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The
public notice also states that the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale or transfer by
the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or
assets of the foreign entities.
In April 2005,
SAFE issued another public notice further explaining the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an acquisition
of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents has been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate
prior to the promulgation of the January notice, the PRC residents must each submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch
with respect to their respective ownership interests in the offshore company, and must also file an amendment to such registration
if the offshore company experiences material events, such as changes in the share capital, share transfer, mergers and acquisitions,
spin-off transactions or use of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations.
On May 31, 2007,
SAFE issued another official notice known as “Circular 106,” which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain
SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure to facilitate foreign financing or subsequent
acquisitions in China.
If we decide to
acquire a company organized under the laws of the PRC, we cannot assure investors that we or the owners of such company, as the
case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals, filings and registrations for the acquisition. This may restrict our
ability to implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business and prospects.
CAPITAL OUTFLOW POLICIES IN CHINA MAY
HAMPER OUR ABILITY TO REMIT INCOME TO THE UNITED STATES AND RESTRICTIONS ON CURRENCY EXCHANGE MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO UTILIZE
OUR REVENUES EFFECTIVELY.
The PRC government imposes controls on
the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive
all of our revenue in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our U.S. holding company may rely on dividend payments from our
PRC subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments
of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions,
can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”)
by complying with certain procedural requirements. Therefore, our PRC subsidiary is able to pay dividends in foreign currencies
to us without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from or registration
with appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into a foreign currency and remitted out of China
to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. This could affect the ability of our
PRC subsidiary to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financings, including by means of loans or capital contributions
from us. In the future, the PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account
transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign
currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our stockholders.
The majority of our revenues and operating
expenses are denominated in RMB. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and,
in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Rules, promulgated on
January 29, 1996 and amended on January 14, 1997, and various regulations issued by SAFE and other relevant PRC government authorities,
RMB is freely convertible only to the extent of current account items, such as trade-related receipts and payments, interest and
dividends. Capital account items, such as direct equity investments, loans and repatriation of investments, require the prior approval
from SAFE or its local branch for conversion of RMB into a foreign currency such as U.S. dollars, and remittance of the foreign
currency outside the PRC. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary to remit
sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy its foreign currency-denominated obligations.
Currently, each of our PRC subsidiary and affiliates may purchase foreign exchange for settlement of “current account transactions,”
including payment of dividends to us and payment of license fees and service fees to foreign licensors and service providers, without
the approval of SAFE. However, approval from the SAFE or its local branch is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign
currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.
BECAUSE OUR
FUNDS ARE HELD IN BANKS THAT DO NOT PROVIDE INSURANCE, THE FAILURE OF ANY BANK IN WHICH WE DEPOSIT OUR FUNDS MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY
TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE.
Banks and other
financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. As a result, in the event of a bank failure,
we may not have access to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability
to have access to our cash may impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and
other creditors, we may be unable to continue to operate.
IF WE ARE UNABLE
TO OBTAIN BUSINESS INSURANCE IN THE PRC, WE MAY NOT BE PROTECTED FROM RISKS THAT ARE CUSTOMARILY COVERED BY INSURANCE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
Business insurance
is not readily available in the PRC. To the extent that we suffer a loss of a type that would normally be covered by insurance
in the United States, such as product liability and general liability insurance, we would incur significant expenses in both defending
any action and in paying any claims that result from a settlement or judgment. We have not obtained fire, casualty and theft insurance,
and there is no insurance coverage for our raw materials, goods and merchandise, furniture and buildings in China. Any losses incurred
by us will have to be borne by us without any assistance, and we may not have sufficient capital to cover material damage to, or
the loss of, our production facility due to fire, severe weather, flood or other cause, and such damage or loss may have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects.
UNDER THE NEW
ENTERPRISE INCOME TAX LAW, WE MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS A “RESIDENT ENTERPRISE” OF CHINA. SUCH CLASSIFICATION MAY RESULT
IN UNFAVORABLE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO US AND OUR NON-PRC SHAREHOLDERS.
China passed a
New Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise
established outside of China with de facto management bodies within China is considered a resident enterprise, meaning that it
can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the New
EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations,
personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. In addition, a circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation
on April 22, 2009 clarified that dividends and other income paid by such resident enterprises will be considered to be PRC source
income and subject to PRC withholding tax. This recent circular also subjects such resident enterprises to various reporting requirements
with the PRC tax authorities.
Although substantially
all of our management is currently located in the PRC, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would require or permit
our overseas registered entities to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. We do not currently consider our company to be a PRC
resident enterprise. However, if the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income
tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences may follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at
a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. This would also mean
that income such as interest on offering proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at
a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiary would
qualify as tax-exempt income, we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC
authorities responsible for enforcing the withholding tax have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound
remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, dividends paid
to stockholders with respect to their shares of our common stock or any gains realized from transfer of such shares may generally
be subject to PRC withholding taxes on such dividends or gains at a rate of 10% if the shareholders are deemed to be a non-resident
enterprise or at a rate of 20% if the shareholders are deemed to be a non-resident individual.
PRICE INFLATION
IN CHINA COULD AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATION IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PASS ALONG RAW MATERIAL PRICE INCREASES TO OUR CUSTOMERS.
Inflation in China
has continued to rise over the last few years. Because we purchase raw materials from suppliers in China, price inflation has caused
an increase in the cost of our raw materials. Price inflation may affect the results of our operations if we are unable
to pass along the price increases to our customers. Similarly, the cost of constructing our new facility and the installation
of equipment may increase as a result of these recent inflationary trends, which are expected to continue in the near future. In
addition, if inflation continues to rise in China, China could lose its competitive advantage as a low-cost manufacturing venue,
which may in turn lessen the competitive advantages of our being based in China. Accordingly, inflation in China may weaken our
competitiveness domestically and in international markets.
WE MAY RELY PRINCIPALLY ON DIVIDENDS
AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS ON EQUITY PAID BY OUR PRC SUBSIDIARY TO FUND ANY CASH AND FINANCING REQUIREMENTS WE MAY HAVE, AND ANY LIMITATION
ON THE ABILITY OF OUR PRC SUBSIDIARY TO PAY DIVIDENDS TO US COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR ABILITY TO CONDUCT OUR
BUSINESS.
We are a holding company, and we may rely
principally on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiary for our cash and financing requirements,
which include the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our stockholders and to service any debt we
may incur. In the future, if our PRC subsidiary incurs debt on their own behalf, the instruments governing the debt may restrict
their abilities to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.
Under PRC laws and regulations, our PRC
subsidiary, as foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC, may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits as determined in
accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise is required to set aside at
least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds, until the aggregate
amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. At its discretion, it may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits
based on PRC accounting standards to staff welfare and bonus funds. These reserve funds and staff welfare and bonus funds are not
distributable as cash dividends.
Any limitation on the ability of our PRC
subsidiary to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments
or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.
THE PRC GOVERNMENT MAY ISSUE FURTHER
RESTRICTIVE MEASURES IN THE FUTURE.
We cannot assure you that the PRC government
will not issue further restrictive measures in the future. The PRC government’s restrictive regulations and measures could
increase our operating costs in adapting to these regulations and measures, limit our access to capital resources or even restrict
our business operations, which could further adversely affect our business and prospects.
THE COMPANY’S PRC SUBSIDIARY HAS
TAKEN THE POSITION THAT IT IS COMPLIANT WITH THE TAXATION, ENVIRONMENTAL, EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL SECURITY RULES OF CHINA, AND IF
THAT POSITION TURNS OUT TO BE WRONG, THEY MAY FACE PENALTIES IMPOSED BY THE PRC GOVERNMENT.
While the Company believes its PRC subsidiary
have been in compliance with PRC taxation, environmental, employment and social security rules during their operations in China,
the Company has not obtained letters from the PRC government authorities confirming such compliance. If any PRC government authority
takes the position that there is non-compliance with the taxation, environmental protection, employment and social security rules
by any of the Company’s PRC subsidiary, they may be exposed to penalties from such PRC government authority, in which case
the operation of the Company’s PRC subsidiary in question may be adversely affected.
IF RELATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND CHINA WORSEN, OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECREASE AND WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY ACCESSING THE U.S. CAPITAL MARKETS.
At various times during recent years, the
United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between
these two countries. Any political or trade conflicts between the United States and China could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.
INTERPRETATION OF PRC LAWS AND REGULATIONS
INVOLVES UNCERTAINTY
.
Our core business is conducted within China
and is governed by PRC laws and regulations. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions can only
be used as a reference. Since 1979, the PRC government has promulgated laws and regulations in relation to economic matters such
as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, with a view to developing a comprehensive
system of commercial law, including laws relating to property ownership and development. However, due to the fact that these laws
and regulations have not been fully developed, and because of the limited volume of published cases and the non-binding nature
of prior court decisions, interpretation of PRC laws and regulations involves a degree of uncertainty. Some of these laws may be
changed without being immediate publication or may be amended with retroactive effect. Depending on the government agency or how
an application or case is presented to such agency, we may receive less favorable interpretations of laws and regulations than
our competitors, particularly if a competitor has long been established in the locality of, and has developed a relationship with
such agency. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and a diversion of resources
and management attention. All of these uncertainties may cause difficulties in the enforcement of our land use rights, entitlements
under our permits and other statutory and contractual rights and interests.
Risks Related to Our offering and Ownership
of Our Common stock
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
MAY BE VOLATILE OR MAY DECLINE REGARDLESS OF OUR OPERATING PERFORMANCE, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE
THE OFFERING PRICE.
The offering price for our common stock
will be determined through negotiations between the Placement Agent and us and may vary from the market price of our common stock
following our offering. If you purchase our common stock in our offering, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above
the offering price. We cannot assure you that the offering price of our common stock, or the market price following our offering,
will equal or exceed prices in privately negotiated transactions of our shares that have occurred from time to time prior to our
offering. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including:
|
·
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in
our revenue and other operating results;
|
|
·
|
the financial projections we may provide
to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;
|
|
·
|
actions of securities analysts who initiate
or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to
meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
|
|
·
|
announcements by us or our competitors
of significant products or features, technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments;
|
|
·
|
price and volume fluctuations in the overall
stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;
|
|
·
|
lawsuits threatened or filed against us;
and
|
|
·
|
other events or factors, including those
resulting from war or incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events.
|
In addition, the stock markets have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many
companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance
of those companies. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility.
If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention
of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.
WE HAVE BROAD DISCRETION IN THE USE
OF THE NET PROCEEDS FROM OUR OFFERING AND MAY NOT USE THEM EFFECTIVELY.
To the extent (i) we raise more money than
required for the purposes explained in the section titled “Use of Proceeds” or (ii) we determine that the proposed
uses set forth in that section are not no longer in the best interests of our Company, we cannot specify with any certainty the
particular uses of such net proceeds that we will receive from our offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application
of such net proceeds, including working capital, possible acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes, and we may spend
or invest these proceeds in a way with which our stockholders disagree. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively
could harm our business and financial condition. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from our offering in a manner
that does not produce income or that loses value.
WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR
THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We currently intend to retain any future
earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable
future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our common stock if the market price of our common stock
increases.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AS THE FUTURE SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK IN
THE PUBLIC MARKETPLACE COULD REDUCE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
The market price of our shares could
decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could
occur. In addition, these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of our common stock.
Assuming the maximum offering is sold, an aggregate of [_____] shares will be outstanding before the consummation of this offering
and [_____] shares will be outstanding immediately after this offering. All of the shares sold in the offering will be freely
transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. The remaining shares will be “restricted
securities” as defined in Rule 144. These shares may be sold in the future without registration under the Securities Act
to the extent permitted by Rule 144 or other exemptions under the Securities Act. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”
YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.
The offering price of our shares is substantially
higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Upon the completion of this offering, if you
purchase shares in this offering, you will incur immediate dilution of approximately $[_____] or approximately [_____]% in the
pro forma net tangible book value per share from the price per share that you pay for the shares. Accordingly, if you purchase
shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of your investment. See “Dilution on page 26”.
NEITHER MANAGEMENT NOR THE
PLACEMENT AGENTS HAVE PERFORMED DUE DILIGENCE ON MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA CITED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
This prospectus includes market
and industry data that has been obtained from third-party sources, including industry publications, as well as industry data prepared
by our management on the basis of its knowledge of and experience in the industries in which we operate (including our management’s
estimates and assumptions relating to such industries based on that knowledge). Management’s knowledge of such industries
has been developed through its experience and participation in these industries. Neither we nor our management have conducted
due diligence or independently verified any of the data from such sources referred to in this prospectus or ascertained the underlying
economic assumptions relied upon by such sources. Internally prepared and third-party market forecasts, in particular, are estimates
only and may be inaccurate, especially over long periods of time. In addition, the Placement Agent has not independently verified
any of the industry data prepared by management or ascertained the underlying estimates and assumptions relied upon by management.
Furthermore, references in this prospectus to any publications, reports, surveys or articles prepared by third parties should
not be construed as depicting the complete findings of the entire publication, report, survey or article. If such market and industry
data turned out to be inaccurate, management’s belief and perception of our competitive strength may need to be adjusted
and, as a result, our business strategy may need to be changed which may have a negative effect on our results of operations.
THE CONTROLLING
STOCKHOLDERS OF JASPER LAKE HOLDINGS LIMITED, OUR MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER, MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER THE OUTCOME OF MATTERS
SUBMITTED TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS FOR APPROVAL, WHICH MAY PREVENT THE COMPANY FROM ENGAGING IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.
As of March
30, 2016, Jasper Lake Holdings Limited beneficially owns 52.9
6%
of our outstanding common stock. Mr. Xiangyao Liu, CEO and President of the Company, has sole voting and dispositive power
of Jasper Lake Holdings Limited. As a result, he exercises significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval,
including the appointment of our directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. His ownership and control may
also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other
business combination that may be in the best interests of the Company.
IF WE FAIL
TO MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCURATELY REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS OR PREVENT
FRAUD.
The SEC, as required
by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on
such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment
of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
Our reporting
obligations as a public company place a significant strain on our management and operational and financial resources and systems.
Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial
reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial
reporting may result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn may harm
our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will continue to incur considerable
costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
THERE IS A
LIMITED MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO SELL THEIR STOCK.
We plan to apply
to be listed on the NYSE, but there is no assurance that we will be approved for the listing at this point. Our common stock currently
trades on the OTC Markets under the symbol “YERR”. There is a limited trading market for our common stock and at times
there is no trading in our common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop
for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be
able to sell our common stock. Further, many brokerage firms will not process transactions involving low price stocks, especially
those that come within the definition of a “penny stock.” If we cease to be quoted, holders of our common stock may
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and the market
value of our common stock would likely decline.
WE MAY BE SUBJECT
TO THE PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH WILL MAKE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL.
We may be subject
now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of common stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver
a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level
of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for
the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value
of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation
information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer
in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
In addition, the
penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny
stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The
penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common
stock. As long as our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stock may
find it more difficult to sell their securities.
IF A MORE ACTIVE
TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DEVELOPS, THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS LIKELY TO BE HIGHLY VOLATILE AND SUBJECT
TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS, AND HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE AT WHICH THEY WERE
ACQUIRED.
The market price
of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors
that are beyond our control, including:
●
|
quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
|
●
|
developments in the financial markets and worldwide economies;
|
●
|
announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;
|
●
|
announcements by the PRC government relating to regulations that govern our industry;
|
●
|
significant sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market;
|
●
|
variations in interest rates;
|
●
|
changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies; and
|
●
|
changes in accounting principles.
|
In addition, the
market for Chinese companies that went public in the U.S. through reverse mergers, such as ours, is currently extremely volatile
primarily due to recent allegations and, in some instances, findings of fraud among some of these companies. If a stockholder
were to file a class action suit against us following a period of volatility in the price of our securities, we would incur substantial
legal fees and our management’s attention and resources would be diverted from operating our business to responding to such
litigation, which may harm our business and reputation.
THE RIGHTS
OF THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE IMPAIRED BY THE POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.
Our board of directors
has the right to create new series of preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue
preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights that may adversely affect the voting power and equity
interest of the holders of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred
stock or to create any new series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.
TRANSACTIONS
ENGAGED IN BY OUR MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
We do not know what plans, if any, Jasper Lake, our majority
stockholder, has with respect to its ownership of our stock. In the event that it sells a substantial number of its shares of our
common stock, such sale may lower the price of our stock.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled “Description of Business,” “Risk
Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding future events,
our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking
statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,”
“can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,”
“may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will”
or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe
we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere
in this prospectus, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment.
New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of
all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this document are
based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements
You should not place undue reliance on
any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this prospectus. Before you invest in our securities,
you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere
in this prospectus could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price. Except as
required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of
this prospectus to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate
that our net proceeds from the sale of the common stock that we are offering will be approximately $[______], or approximately
$[_______] if the Placement Agents exercise in full their right to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments, or approximately
$[________] if the Placement Agents also exercise the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase additional shares, assuming an public
offering price of $[________] per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by us. A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed offering price of $[___________] per share would increase (decrease)
the net proceeds to us from this offering by $[_______], assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover
page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.
We
intend to use the net proceeds to us from our this offering to fund i) the construction of the facilities, including the warehouse,
cold-chain logistics area, and exhibition center; ii) the construction of rail-cargo operating area; iii) the construction of
the port terminal; and iv) general working capital to assist in the continued development of the Logistics Center.
Pending
other uses, we intend to invest the proceeds to us in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities such as money market funds,
certificates of deposit, or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government, or hold as cash. We cannot predict whether
the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds
we receive from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the
net proceeds.
After
deducting the estimated placement discount and offering expenses payable by us, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately
$[________] from this offering if the minimum offering is sold and approximately $[_________] if the maximum offering is sold
and the placement agent does not exercise its over-subscription option.
We
intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows after we complete the remittance process, and we have ordered the specific
uses of proceeds in order of priority. We do not expect that our priorities for fund allocation would change if the amount we
raise in this offering exceeds the size of the minimum offering but is less than the maximum offering. We expect to devote any
funds raised over the minimum offering amount to our working capital needs, including devoting further resources to the below
uses of proceeds.

In other to continue our project
constructions on the operating zones, we need to be able to perform more projects on different functional zones within the Logistics
Center. Due to the capital-intensive construction project and limited unrestricted cash to pay for advances to subcontractors
and third parties in different phases of various projects, we are limited to focus our attention on the major infrastructures
and facilities. We are aiming at our three-year investment plan and targeting to complete the construction in five years. We will
start constructing major infrastructures and facilities in major operating zones, such as warehouses, office buildings, loading
and unloading facilities and business centers, with the net proceeds from this offering
In addition, with the net proceeds
from this offering, we intend to develop and expand our operation administration, sales team and management team to further prepare
for the future operation of the projects in sales and management of the completed buildings, warehouses, port facilities and business
centers.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We plan to retain any earnings for the
foreseeable future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors
and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board of Directors
deems relevant. In addition, our credit facility restricts our ability to pay dividends.
CAPITALIZATION
The following tables set forth our capitalization as of December 31, 2015 on a pro forma as adjusted
basis giving effect to the sale of the minimum and maximum offering at an assumed public offering price of $[_______] per
share and to reflect the application of the proceeds after deducting the estimated placement fees. You should read this table
in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and “Use of Proceeds”

DILUTION
If you invest in our Common
Stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of Common Stock
and the pro forma net tangible book value per Common Stock after the offering. Dilution results from the fact that the per Common
Stock offering price is substantially in excess of the book value per Common Stock attributable to the existing shareholders for
our presently outstanding Common Stock. Our net tangible book value attributable to shareholders at December 31, 2015 was $[____]
or approximately $[___] per share of Common Stock, based on 172,254,446 share of Common Stocks outstanding as of December 31,
2015. Net tangible book value per share of Common Stock as December 31, 2015 represents the amount of total assets less intangible
assets and total liabilities, divided by the number of share of Common Stocks outstanding. We present such net tangible book value
per share of Common Stock based on 172,254,446 shares as of December 31, 2015.
If the minimum offering is sold,
we will have [_______] share of Common Stocks outstanding upon completion of the offering. Our post offering pro forma net
tangible book value, which gives effect to receipt of the net proceeds from the offering and issuance of additional shares in
the offering, but does not take into consideration any other changes in our net tangible book value after December 31, 2015, will
be approximately $[__________] or $[__________] per share of Common Stock. This would result in dilution to investors in
this offering of approximately $ [_________] per share of Common Stock or approximately [__________]% from the assumed offering
price of $ [_________] per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share of Common Stock would increase to the benefit
of present shareholders by $ [__________] per share attributable to the purchase of the share of Common Stocks by investors in
this offering.
If the maximum offering is sold,
we will have [_________] share of Common Stocks outstanding upon completion of the offering. Our post offering pro forma net tangible
book value, which gives effect to receipt of the net proceeds from the offering and issuance of additional shares in the offering,
but does not take into consideration any other changes in our net tangible book value after December 31, 2015, will be approximately
$ [_____________] or $ [______________] per share of Common Stock. This would result in dilution to
investors in this offering of approximately $ [__________] per share of Common Stock or approximately [_____________]
% from the assumed offering price of $[__________] per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share of Common Stock
would increase to the benefit of present shareholders by $[___________] per share attributable to the purchase of the share of
Common Stocks by investors in this offering.
Assuming the maximum offering
is sold and the Placement Agent exercises its over-subscription option in full, we will have [_________] share of Common Stocks
outstanding upon completion of the offering. Our post offering pro forma net tangible book value, which gives effect to receipt
of the net proceeds from the offering and issuance of additional shares in the offering, but does not take into consideration
any other changes in our net tangible book value after December 31, 2015, will be approximately $ [_____________] or
$ [______________] per share of Common Stock. This would result in dilution to investors in this offering of approximately
$ [__________] per share of Common Stock or approximately [_____________] % from the assumed offering price of $[__________]
per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share of Common Stock would increase to the benefit of present shareholders
by $[___________] per share attributable to the purchase of the share of Common Stocks by investors in this offering.

The Logistics Center is located within
the Wuhan Newport Yangluo Port, on the upper stream of the Yangtze River, and close to the northern base of Wu Iron and Steel,
China's first mega-sized iron and steel production complex. The Logistics Center is expected to include a port terminal that will
be located approximately 26.5km from the Wuhan Guan and 5.5km from the Yangluo Yangtze River Bridge. The operation area of the
port is expected to consist of a riverbank of 1,039 meters with eight 5,000
-to-10,000-ton
berths, two of which are multi-purpose berths and the other six are general cargo berths. It is designed to be able to handle
up to 5,000,000 tons of cargo annually, including up to 100,000 TEU for annual container throughput (including 20,000 TEU in freezers
areas), 1,000,000 tons of iron and steel and 3,000,000 tons of general cargo.
Within the Logistics Center, functional
areas will be divided into six operating zones: a port operation area, a warehouse and distribution area, a cold chain supply
logistics area, a rail cargo loading area, an exhibition area and a business related area. The Logistics Center will also be complemented
with container storage areas, multi-functional areas, general storage areas, multi-functional warehouse and infrastructural development,
including new roads, gas stations, parking areas, gas and water pipes, electricity lines and all other facilities and equipment
to operate the Logistics Center.
Aside from being situated in
the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Yangluo development area is amongst the third group of China’s Pilot Free Trade
Zone (FTZ) applicants to submit FTZ applications to the State Council. As of the date hereof, approvals have been granted to Shanghai,
Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Corporations within the approved free-trade zones are typically entitled to a series of favorable
regulations and policies that could help the businesses grow and succeed.
Wuhan Newport has signed a twenty-year
lease agreement, maximum number of years permitted by the applicable PRC laws, and with rights to renew at its sole discretion
effective April 27, 2015 to lease approximately 1,200,000 square meters of land for building logistics warehouses in support of
the Logistics Center. The warehouses are expected to comprise of port terminal zones, warehouse logistics zones, cold chain supply
zones and railroad loading and unloading zones. The warehouses, once constructed, will connect the port terminal along the Yangtze
River and the railway leading to Europe, satisfying the requirement of China’s latest “One Belt, One Road” initiative.
It will also be able to support large logistics companies in Wuhan and other nearby provinces which will rent the warehouses,
terminals and offices within the Logistics Center.

The “One Belt, One Road”
Initiative*
According to the
Vision and Actions on Jointly Building Belt and Road
issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, with State Council authorization in March 2015,
"One Belt, One Road" (the “Initiative”) is a infrastructural development concept initiated by the leaders
of the Chinese government in 2013. It refers to the New Silk Road Economic Belt, which will link China with Europe through Central
and Western Asia, and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which will connect China with Southeast Asian countries, Africa and
Europe through the Pacific and Indian Ocean. Neither the belt nor the road follows a designated route, but serves as a conceptual
roadmap for China’s plan to expand its presence commercially to the regions outside of the country and strengthen its economic
relationships with the nations in these regions.
The “Belt”
and the “Road” run through the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, connecting the vibrant East Asia economic circle
on one end and developed European economic circle on the other, and encompassing countries with huge potential for economic development.
The Silk Road Economic Belt focuses on bringing together China, Central Asia, Russia and Europe (the Baltic), linking China with
the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea through Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting China with Southeast Asia, South
Asia and the countries along the Indian Ocean. The 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road is designed to go from China's coast to Europe
through the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean in one route, and from China's coast through the South China Sea to the South
Pacific in the other.
On land, the
Initiative is expected to focus on jointly building a new Eurasian Land Bridge and developing China-Mongolia-Russia, China-Central
Asia-West Asia and China-Indochina Peninsula economic corridors by taking advantage of international transport routes, relying
on core cities along the Belt and Road and using key economic industrial parks as cooperation platforms. At sea, the Initiative
is expected to focus on jointly building smooth, secure and efficient transportation routes connecting major sea ports along the
Belt and the Road. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor are closely related
to the Belt and Road Initiative, and therefore require closer cooperation and greater progress. (Source:

Corporate History
On December 23, 2009, the Company was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name of “Ciglarette, Inc.” Our operations at the time consisted of
marketing and distributing a “smokeless” cigarette. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited
to capital formation, organization, and development of our business plan and target customer market.
On March 1, 2011,
the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Kirin China Holding, a British Virgin
Islands company (“Kirin China”), whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kirin China
in exchange for 18,547,297 shares of common stock, which represented approximately 98.4% of the total shares outstanding immediately
following the closing of this share exchange (the “First Share Exchange”). Upon consummation of the First Share
Exchange, Company changes its name to “Kirin International Holding, Inc.” and traded under the symbol “KIRI”
on OTC Markets. As a result of the First Share Exchange, Kirin China became a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company ceased the smokeless
cigarette business and became a holding company, through various controlled entities in the China, engaged in the development and
operation of real estate in China. Through Kirin China, Company engaged in private real estate development focusing on residential
and commercial real estate development in “tier-three” cities in China. Tier-three cities are provincial capital cities
with ordinary economic development and prefecture cities with relatively strong economic development.
On December 19, 2015, Company entered into
certain share exchange agreements with Energetic Mind and all the shareholders of Energetic Mind whereby the Company acquired 100%
issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Energetic Mind (the “Second Share Exchange”). Pursuant to the terms of the
agreements for the Second Share Exchange, in exchange for 100% issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Energetic Mind, the Company
agreed to issue to (i) the shareholders of Energetic Mind an aggregate of one hundred fifty-one million (151,000,000) shares of
Company’s common stock and (2) a certain related party an additional 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount
of one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000), with a conversion price of $10.00 per share.
On December 31, 2015, the Company disposed
all of its interests in i) Brookhollow Lake, LLC, ii) Newport Property Holding, LLC, iii) Kirin China, iv) Kirin Hopkins Real Estate
Group LLC, v) Archway Development Group LLC, vi) Specturm International Enterprise, LLC and vii) wholly-owned subsidiary HHC-6055
Centre Drive LLC. The sale of Kirin China also effectively terminated Company’s contractual relationship with Hebei Zhongding
Real Estate Development Co. Ltd and Xingtai Zhongding Jiye Real Estate Development Co., Ltd, both of which are companies formed
under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and were deemed Company’s variable interest entities prior to this
sale (“Subsidiaries Sale”).
As a result of the Second Share Exchange
and the Subsidiaries Sale, the Company currently operates its business solely through its wholly-owned subsidiary Energetic Mind,
which is the sole shareholder of Ricofeliz, which engages its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary Wuhan Newport.
On January 13, 2016, Company filed a Certificate
of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of the State of Nevada, changing its name from “Kirin
International Holding, Inc.” to “Yangtze River Development Limited”. Effective January 22, 2016, Company changed
its stock symbol from “KIRI” to “YERR”.
Organization & Subsidiaries
Upon completion of the Second Share Exchange
described above in “Corporate History”, Yangtze River Development Limited holds 100% ordinary shares of its wholly
owned subsidiary, Energetic Mind, which holds all of the share capital of Ricofeliz Capital. Ricofeliz Capital holds all of
the share capital of Wuhan Newport, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise located in Wuhan of Hubei Province in China.
The following diagram illustrates
our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus:
Office Complex Development
With the advantage of being in the anticipated
Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Pilot Free Trade Zone, Wuhan Newport’s Logistics Center has obtained the land use rights to
develop approximately 500,000 square meters of commercial lands for up to seventy-years with rights to renewal, on which Wuhan
Newport plans to build an office complex of approximately 700,000 square meters. As of the date of this prospectus, the complex
totaling approximately 100,000 square meters have been completed and there are outstanding 600,000 square meters to be constructed
within the next five (5) years.
The office complex will be supported by
a light railway line from downtown Wuhan that is undergoing construction. The complex will be accessible by two stations along
the light railway line. In addition, a highway along the north shore of the Yangtze River in Wuhan is currently under construction;
the completion of the highway is also expected to provide direct ground access between Wuhan city center and the Logistics Center
and cut down the commute time to only 20 minutes.
Upon completion of the construction of
the office buildings, Wuhan Newport plans to sell half of the complex while leasing out the remaining half for long-term rental
income. It is Company’s goal to recover the initial investment costs through sale of half of the complex and generate a stable
return based on rent of the other half complex upon completion of the project.
Transportation and Logistics Services
Taking advantage of the regional highways,
railways and waterways in the Yangluo area, the Company plans to develop a shipping hub with access to all types of cargo transportation
and offer complementary services to businesses within this logistics center. The Company intends to create an efficient, reliable
and comprehensive logistics service system by utilizing the third-party service providers with offices within the Logistics Center
to provide professional logistics services.
Company is currently constructing the port
terminal which will be the focal point of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The Yangtze River riverbank, within our properties,
measures 1,039 meters and will host eight cargo berths handling ships ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 tons.
As of January 1, 2016, a government sponsored
cargo transportation railway has been completed and launched leading to the premise of the Logistic Center, known as, the Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe
(“WXE”) Railway. The WXE is a part of the Silk Road Economic Zone as it is within the “One Belt, One Road”
initiative. The WXE Freight Train sets out from Wuhan to Xinjiang and finally ends in Hamburg, Germany. Wuhan Newport’s
terminal will therefore be an important component of the “Silk Road Economic Belt” under the “One Belt, One
Road” framework.

)
The custom facility at the Yangluo Comprehensive
Bonded Area allow cargo vessels ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 tons to set out from Shanghai downstream via the Yangtze River in
order to transport “Made in China” commodities to the Pacific Ocean and further to any other ports across the Indian
Ocean. This same route will also return commodities from other countries directly back to Wuhan and then distributed throughout
rest of China. Aside from being situated within the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Yangluo development area is amongst
the third group of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone applicants to submit applications to the State Council. As of the date hereof,
approvals have so far been granted to Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Enterprises within the approved pilot free-trade
zones are typically entitled to a series of favorable regulations and policies that could help businesses grow and succeed. The
Company believes that the approval will be granted within the near future.
Cold Chain Logistics Services
A cold chain is a temperature-controlled
supply chain for products that need to be kept under low temperature. An unbroken cold chain is an uninterrupted series of storage
and distribution activities which maintain a given temperature range. It is used to help extend and ensure the shelf life of products
such as fresh agricultural produce, seafood and frozen food.
Within the Logistics Center, Company plans
to provide extensive storage and processing services to its customers. Meanwhile, a cold chain logistics service system will be
established to better help the Company’s clients’ processing needs for their frozen foods, meats and other products
that need special processing and handling. In addition, Company will offer professional services with temperature control, sorting,
processing, packaging and delivery to ensure the reliability and safety of the logistics process.
Information Platform
To adapt to the needs of modern logistics
service and meet the standards of the industry worldwide, Company will establish comprehensive automated management systems, as
well as develop an operation system, enquiry system and decision-making systems for all types of business information such as warehouse,
storage, trade, distribution and transportation, movable assets supervision and freight forwarding. Company plans to launch an
integrated and information-sharing platform geared towards the demand of its targeted markets and potential clients.
Company will establish a uniform information
platform including an internet-based logistics information portal and an e-commerce platform to provide the Company’s clients
with services such as logistics services tracking, service rating, online operation, electronic transaction, and etc. Company expects
this information portal to be equally reliable for both service providers and their respective clients.
Company will also establish an e-commerce
system based on the logistics information portal and it will provide clients with many updated services such as online transactions,
online payments, online inquiries and business information communication. This will create a comprehensive service system and a
business model with high integration of information flow, capital flow, trade flow and goods flow.
Portside Service
Company also plans to provide incentives
for companies that specialize in IT, production of new material and high-end equipment and manufacturing companies to station nearby
the Logistics Center so that these companies can grow with the Logistics Center, leveraging each other’s specialization to
serve each other’s business needs.
Logistics Financing
Logistics financing is mainly based on
using supplies as collateral to obtain financing for supply chains to improve its overall economic efficiency. Developing an innovative
logistics financing is significant because traditionally mortgages or loans are concentrated in real estate and logistics financing
provides a lower systematic risk for lenders.
Compared to developed countries, logistics
financing is a rather new field in China with a huge market potential of about 7 trillion RMB. The driving force for logistics
financial service in western countries is mainly attributable to financial institutions as opposed to third-party private logistics
companies in China who would occasionally provide financing options.
Logistics financial services became a popular
investment vehicle among these third-party lenders. However, the business of logistics financing has become more complex for these
private lenders to handle as they will need professional service to guide them the process and thus safeguard their investments.
Even though the history of logistics financing
has been relatively short in China, the appetite for this is expected to grow as the Pilot Free Trade Zones in Shanghai, Tianjin
and the one expected to be granted in Wuhan will likely attract more business and international financial institutions to launch
offices or branches within these Pilot Free Trade Zones to serve the businesses in the areas. Logistics financing not only provides
the businesses with a new alternative to meet their capital needs, but also opens a new channel for commercial banks to reach small
and midsize businesses. While interest income generated from logistics financing transaction is often an important source of income
for many multinational logistics companies, companies who are able to provide financing are often the industry leaders. Because
logistics financing can be an effective channel for the Company to reach its targeted market, our Company plans to capture this
first-mover advantage when logistics financing is still in its development stage in China.
In light of this market opportunity, Company
plans to establish and utilize e-commerce platforms to offer online booking, dealing and exhibiting services for electronic products,
commodity, foods and metals. Company also plans to provide comprehensive support services to complement logistics financing. Maritime
insurance and training services will also be offered within the Logistic Center. Company plans to help its clients to raise construction
capital through Build-Transfer (BT), Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), corporate debt and equity financing. In addition, Company plans
to collaborate and develop strategic alliances with other logistics or cargo shipping centers around the world.
Sales and Marketing
Company plans to sell its properties by
forming strategic alliances with CMST Development (Hankou) Co. Ltd. (“CMST-Hankou”), Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in
Hubei (“SCCH”) and Wuhan Coal Business Association (“WCBA”).
Partnership with CMST
CMST-Hankou is a regional subsidiary of
the CMST Development Co. Ltd, which is a state-owned enterprise that principally engages in the logistics and import & export
business. CMST-Hankou’s core business includes warehouse storage, sale and distribution of commodities, and freight forwarding.
Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding executed with CMST-Hankou on August 20, 2015, CMST-Hankou has agreed to to transfer
all of its warehouse storage and processing division, distribution service division and other existing businesses to the premises
of the Logistics Center. In addition, CMST-Hankou has agreed to move its warehouse for steel trading business with the Shanghai
Future Exchange to the Logistics Center. In consideration, Company has agreed to offer CMST-Hankou a 5% discount for all services
provided within the Logistics Center, including those within the warehouses, port terminal, and railway operating zones. In addition,
CMST-Hankou has agreed to assist the Company with the establishment of an online commodity exchange platform to provide a comprehensive
support system through the supply chain and provide necessary personnel to help with the management of the warehouse operations
within the Logistics Center. Though at a slight discount, Company is expected to receive fees based on CMST-Hankou’s large
volume of commodities that need to be stored and use of complementary services at the warehouse, facilities and operating areas,
as well as rental income and/or property sales generated from the office complex. However, the partnership is subject to the terms
and conditions of the definitive agreement between CMST-Hankou and the Company. No assurance can be provided at this point that
such definitive agreement will be executed.
Partnership with SCCH
SCCH is a non-profit business coalition
with 252 businesses across various industries as members. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding executed with SCCH on July
27, 2015, SCCH has agreed to move its headquarter to the office complex within the Logistics Center by purchasing or leasing certain
units. In consideration for 7% discount to the purchase of RMB 17,000 per square meter of our properties, approximately 50 businesses
within the organization plan to open offices in the Logistics Center and purchase at least 100,000 square meters in space within
the office complex. SCCH, on behalf of 50 businesses, also executed a letter of intent to purchase approximately 100,000 square
meters of storefront. In addition, as Company expects the 50 businesses to have a total annual turnover of commodities more than
5,000,000 tons, Company has agreed to offer members of SCCH a 5% discount for all services provided within the Logistics Center,
including those within the warehouses, port terminal, and railway operating zones. However, the partnership is subject to the terms
and conditions of the definitive agreement between SCCH and the Company. No assurance can be provided at this point that such definitive
agreement will be executed.
Partnership with WCBA
WCBA is a non-profit business coalition
with more than 300 businesses within the coal mining industry as members. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding executed
with WCBA on September 17, 2015, WCBA has agreed to move its headquarter to the office complex within the Logistics Center by purchasing
or leasing certain units. Company has agreed to offer WCBA member businesses 5% discount to the purchase price of RMB 17,000 per
square meter our properties. In addition, as Company expects WCBA members to have a total annual turnover of coal-related commodities
more than 20,000,000 tons and will use Company’s warehouse storage for at least 3,000,000 tons, Company has agreed to offer
members of WCBA a 5% discount for all services provided within the Logistics Center, including those within the warehouses, port
terminal, and railway operating zones. However, the partnership is subject to the terms and conditions of the definitive agreement
between WCBA and the Company. No assurance can be provided at this point that such definitive agreement will be executed.
Market Opportunity for Logistics Finance
According to an industry review issued
by China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, with the stabilization and recovery of the economy, the logistics industry began
to rise gradually from the steady state before. According to statistics, total value of social logistics goods in 2012 is 177.3
trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 9.8%, dropping 2.5% compared with growth of 2011, dropping 0.2 percentage points
compared with the first half of the year, rebounded by 0.2 percentage points compared to the first three quarters. National logistics
added value is 3.5 trillion yuan, achieving a year-on-year growth of 9.1%. Although this figure is somewhat lower than the same
period last year, it’s still 1 percentage point higher than the tertiary industry. Logistics value added has a share of
6.8% of GDP, accounting for 15.3% of value added of service sector. Total cost of national social logistics is 9.4 trillion yuan,
with a year-on-year growth of 11.4%, dropping 7.1 % compared with growth of last year. Total costs of social logistics account
for 18% of GDP, with a year-on-year increase of 0.2 percentage points. The logistics cost of economic operation is still high.

Logistics finance provides financial services
such as financing, clearance and insurance to support the logistics industry. It evolves as the logistics industry develops. Not
only can logistics finance services improve the service capability and increase the profitability of the third party logistics
companies, it can also expand financing channels, decrease financing cost and increase the capital efficiency.
The major target client for logistics finance
service are small and medium size companies, which are an important sector of China’s economy and have a great weight in
the market. One of the biggest hurdles in the life cycle of these small and medium size companies is lack of cash flow, which can
become the “bottle neck” of their development and prevent progress. The need for logistics financing results from the
lack of available credit financing facilities and difficulty of obtaining financing on the capital markets. Therefore, logistics
finance services protect against the financing problems by allowing these small and medium companies to use its raw materials and
commodities as collateral to borrow money. Logistics financing increases the liquidity of cash flow, lowers the clearance risks
and improves the efficiency of the economic operation. Upon completion of the Logistics Center, company expects to house many small
and mid-size logistics companies. The offering of logistics financing will therefore become an important component of the business
as these businesses are expected to have financing needs as they grow their businesses.
Market Overview of Wuhan
Located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze
River, Wuhan has been regarded as the gateway to nine provinces nearby. Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the Yangtze River converge
in Wuhan and also Beijing-Jiulong Railway and Beijing-Guangzhou Railway intersect in it, thus forming a railway network linking
North China, Southwest China, Central South China and East China. Moreover, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway
converge in Wuhan and a high-speed railway along the Yangtze River will be completed in this area in the near future. A “flexible
multimodal transportation system” combining expressways, high-speed railways and water transportation on the Yangtze River
will give greater prominence to Wuhan's position of strategic importance as a junction of water and land transportation in China.
According to the statistics published
by the Wuhan government, Wuhan is largest economic city in central China with an annual GDP more than 1,000 billion RMB. In 2015,
the China State Council introduced and implemented the Midstream Yangtze River City Group Development Plan headed by Wuhan. In
fact, the city was once called “The Oriental Chicago” by the US Harper’s Magazine back in 1918. Wuhan is also
among the largest inland logistics and cargo distribution center in China, with its ability to cover approximately a 400 million
populations in the five neighboring provinces including Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan and Sichuan. At present, there are over 10,000
commercial organizations, 105,000 commodity networks, four commercial listed enterprises as well as eight comprehensive shopping
centers on the list of China Top 100 Retail Shopping Centers. (Source:

Foreign Affairs Office of Wuhan City Government
)
China is thoroughly implementing the strategy
of coordinated regional development, expanding domestic demand, innovation-driven development and new urbanization, and building
a new economic support belt relying on the Yangtze River. As a central city in the central region and the middle reach of the Yangtze
River, and the country’s major transportation hub and science and technology base, Wuhan faces multiple overlapping strategic
opportunities. Location, transportation, science, education, market and other advantages will be further enhanced and fully released
and more quickly transformed into development and competitive advantage.
Wuhan is also a major transportation hub
in Central China, situated at the midstream of the Yangtze River. Going west alongside the Yangtze, upstream include cities or
provinces such as Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan and Qinghai. Going east downstream include provinces such as Hunan, Anhui and Jiangsu,
as well as municipal city such as Shanghai, until finally entering the Pacific Ocean.. The railway runs north bound to Harbin,
westbound to Urumqi, east bound to Shanghai and south bound to the Shenzhen Highway and expressways that stretch in all directions
ensuring easy and convenient transportation to all provinces in China.
With the rapid development of inland waterway
transportation in China, logistics and port management industry has grown significantly. Wuhan is one of the major inland water
ports in China. In 2014, Wuhan government released an
Opinion On Accelerating The Establishment Of Shipping Center In The Middle
Reach Of Yangtze River
, indicating that the government will help the Wuhan shipping center to be a well-equipped, surrounding
industry developed internationally with a scaled and intelligent inland water shipping center with all port and shipping resources
highly concentrated. In the
Development Plan On Wuhan Logistics Space (2012-2020)
published by the Wuhan city government*,
Wuhan is strategically positioned as the critical joint of the global supply chain and the logistics transportation hub and information
center of China. (Source:

)
However, in Wuhan, logistics for domestic
trade operated separately from that for international trade and all resources are scattered and not concentrated to form a well-organized
and well-managed international supply chain. It becomes very difficult for Wuhan to realize the synergy of business, logistics,
money and information. In addition, a majority of the current logistics companies in Wuhan focus on traditional cargo transportation
and storage services. Therefore, there exists an opportunity for an efficient, comprehensive and modern logistics service center
like Company’s Logistics Center to facilitate the channel of both regional and global logistics.

The Logistics Center is located
within the Wuhan Newport Yangluo Port, on the upper stream of the Yangtze River, and close to the northern base of Wu Iron and
Steel, China's first mega-sized iron and steel production complex. The Logistics Center is expected to include a port terminal
that will be located approximately 26.5km from the Wuhan Guan and 5.5km from the Yangluo Yangtze River Bridge. The operation area
of the port is expected to consist of a riverbank of 1,039 meters with eight 5,000-to-10,000-ton berths, two of which are multi-purpose
berths and the other six are general cargo berths. It is designed to be able to handle up to 5,000,000 tons of cargo annually,
including up to 100,000 TEU for annual container throughput (including 20,000 TEU in freezers areas), 1,000,000 tons of iron and
steel and 3,000,000 tons of general cargo.
Within the Logistics Center,
functional areas will be divided into six operating zones: a port operation area, a warehouse and distribution area, a cold chain
supply logistics area, a rail cargo loading area, an exhibition area and a business related area. The Logistics Center will also
be complemented with container storage areas, multi-functional areas, general storage areas, multi-functional warehouse and infrastructural
development, including new roads, gas stations, parking areas, gas and water pipes, electricity lines and all other facilities
and equipment to operate the Logistics Center.
Aside from being situated in
the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Yangluo development area is amongst the third group of China’s Pilot Free Trade
Zone (FTZ) applicants to submit FTZ applications to the State Council. As of the date of this prospectus, approvals have been
granted to Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Enterprises within the approved free-trade zones are typically entitled to
a series of favorable regulations and policies that could help the businesses grow and succeed. However, we can provide no assurance
at this point that the FTZ application will in fact be approved.
Wuhan Newport has signed a twenty-year
lease agreement, maximum number of years permitted by the applicable PRC laws, and with rights to renew at its sole discretion
effective April 27, 2015 to lease approximately 1,200,000 million square meters of land for building logistics warehouses in support
of the Logistics Center. The warehouses are expected to comprise of port terminal zones, warehouse logistics zones, cold chain
supply zones and railroad loading and unloading zones. The warehouses will connect the port terminal along the Yangtze River and
the railway leading to Europe, satisfying the requirement of China’s latest “One Belt, One Road” initiative.
It will also be able to support large logistics companies in Wuhan and other nearby provinces which will rent the warehouses,
terminals and offices within the Logistics Center.
Factors Affecting our Operating Results
Growth of China’s Economy
.
We operate and derive all of our revenue from operations in China. Economic conditions in China, therefore, affect our operations,
including the demand for our properties and services and the availability and prices of land maintenance among other expenses.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China has experienced significant economic growth in the past decade.
China is expected to experience continued growth in all areas of investment and consumption, though may be at a slower rate. However,
if the Chinese economy were to become significantly affected by a negative stimulus, China’s growth rate may fall significantly
and it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Government Regulations.
Our
business and results of operations are subject to PRC government policies and regulations regarding the following:
|
●
|
Land Use Right
— According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC and Interim Regulations of the People’s Republic of China Concerning the Assignment and Transfer of the Right to the Use of the State-owned Land in the Urban Areas, individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to use urban land or land use rights for specific purposes, including residential, industrial and commercial purposes. We acquire land use rights from local governments and/or other entities for development of commercial real estate projects.
|
|
●
|
Land Development
— According to the Urban Real Estate Development and Operation Administration Regulation, the Urban Real Estate Development and Operation Administration Rules of Hebei Province promulgated by the government of the Hebei Province, and the Real Estate Development Enterprise Qualification Administration Regulation, a real estate development enterprise shall obtain a Real Estate Development Enterprise Qualification Certificate. We obtained the related certificates and seek to ensure that each phase of our projects complies with our certificates.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Project Financing
— According to the Land Administration Law and the Property Law of the PRC, the land use rights, and buildings still
in process of construction may be pledged and mortgaged. From time to time, we may pledge and mortgage our land use rights
and real properties to lenders in order to obtain project financing.
|
Interest Rate and Inflation Challenges.
We
are subject to market risks due to fluctuations in interest rates and refinancing of mid-term debt. Higher interest rates may also
affect our revenues, gross profits and our ability to raise and service debt and to finance our developments. Inflation could result
in increases in the price of raw materials and labor costs. We do not believe that inflation or deflation has affected
our business materially.
Acquisitions of Land Use Rights
and Associated Costs
.
We acquire land use rights for development through the governmental auction process and by obtaining
land use rights permits from third parties through negotiation, acquisition of entities, co-development or other joint venture
arrangements. Our ability to secure sufficient financing for land use rights acquisitions and property development depends on
internal cash flows in addition to lenders’ perceptions of our credit reliability, market conditions in the capital markets,
investors’ perception of our securities, the PRC economy and the PRC government regulations that affect the availability
and cost of financing real estate companies or property purchasers.
Significant Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an
ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances
may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements
include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets;
(v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds
and compensation payables.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether
or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices
are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair
value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate
settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from
its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, financial
instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables, other receivables, short-term bank loans,
deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their
fair values because of their generally short maturities.
Reporting
Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s consolidated financial
statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting currency. Yangtze River, Energetic Mind,
and Ricofeliz Capital uses US$ as its functional currency. Wuhan Newport uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any
differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency
transaction in the statements of operations.
In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency
Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable
balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments
resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue
Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from steel
trading when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection
is reasonably assured.
Real estate sales are reported in accordance
with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.
Revenue from the sales of completed properties
and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) sale is
consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the
property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks
and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with
the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b)
all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all
conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant
to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual
method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred,
and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Revenue and profit from the sale of development
properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the
sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is
committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already
been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate
sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits
until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.
The Company has not generated any revenue
from the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Real
Estate Capitalization and Cost Allocation
Real estate property completed
and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction and units
completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is
lower. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and
indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms of 40 years through government sale
transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers properties. The Company
capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within a project based on
units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other
costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales
value.
Capitalization
of Interest
In
accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under
development. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, nil and nil were capitalized as properties under development, respectively.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company
maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.
Property
and Equipment, Net
The property and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets with 5% salvage value.
The Company eliminates the cost and related
accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of
income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment
to equipment are capitalized.
Income Taxes
Current income taxes are provided for in
accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements,
the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for
income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements
at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable
for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company adopts a more likely than not
threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach,
the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that
it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process,
if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon
settlement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any uncertain tax position.
Land Appreciation Tax
(“LAT”)
In accordance with the relevant taxation
laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value,
which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property
development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities,
and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold. The
Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT
for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations. LAT would
be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the period for convertible notes
under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Potential common stocks are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings
per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred,
or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the years ended December 31,
2015 and 2014, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $7,724 and $47,187, respectively.
Impairment of long-lived
assets
The Company applies the provisions of ASC
No. 360 Sub topic 10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(ASC 360- 10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to
result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized
for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including
property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence
of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and
evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups
of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment
and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.
If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount
of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured
by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates
fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary.
There were no impairment losses in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted ASC 718 Stock Compensation. Stock-based
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite
service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value estimate is based on the share price and other
pertinent factors. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and to revise those estimates in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company used a mix of historical data and future assumptions to
estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and to record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
The Company does not believe recently issued
but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2014-01 to ASU 2015-01, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
of the consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

Revenue.
During the fiscal year ended December 31,
2015, we did not generate any revenue, compared to revenue of $3,458,295 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease
of $3,458,295 or approximately 100.0%. The significant decrease was mainly because we did not engage in any steel trading during
the fiscal year ended 2015.
We also did not generate any revenue from
the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Cost of Revenue.
Our cost of revenue sold consists of the
cost of purchased goods. During the year ended December 31, 2015, our cost of goods sold was $nil, compared to $3,693,783 for the
cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $3,693,783 or approximately 100.0%. The decrease in
the cost of revenue was mainly due to the lack of steel trading during the fiscal year ended 2015.
Gross Loss.
Our gross margin increased from a loss
of $235,488 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to $nil for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The increase of the
gross margin is mainly due to the lack of steel trading during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and we sold steel for less
than the cost of goods during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Operating Expenses.
Operating expenses totaled $4,559,223 for
the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $2,178,365 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $2,380,858, or approximately
109%. The significant increase is mainly because of significant increase of general and administrative expenses offset by decrease
in selling expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses
.
Selling expenses decrease from $87,866
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to $11,577 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $76,289, or approximately
86.83%. The decrease is mainly attributable to decrease in steel trading during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Our general and administrative expenses
consist of salaries, office expenses, utilities, business travel, amortization expenses (including legal expenses, accounting expenses
and other professional service expenses) and stock compensation. General and administrative expenses were $4,547,646 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $2,090,499 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $2,457,147
or 118 %. The significant increase is mainly because of the increase of expenses related to professional fees in
connection with our merger with Kirin and in preparation of this offering and application for listing to the NYSE.
Loss from Operations.
As a result of the factors described above,
operating loss was $4,559,223 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to operating loss of $2,413,853 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of operating loss of $2,145,370, or approximately 88.88%.
Other Expenses.
We had a total other expense
of $3,201,339 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to a total expense of $3,245,664 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014. Our interest income and expense were $55 and $3,199,031, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2015, compared to interest income and expenses of $10,996 and $3,256,660, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2014. Other income and expenses were $868 and $3,231 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $nil for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014.
Income Tax.
We received an income tax benefit of $1,378,700
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $1,402,421 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Net Loss.
As a result of the factors described
above, our net loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $6,381,862, compared to net loss of $4,257,096 for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, an increase in loss of $2,124,766.
Foreign Currency Translation.
Our consolidated financial statements are
expressed in U.S. dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. Results of operations and cash flows
are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate
at the end of the period and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process
of translating the financial statements denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income.
Our foreign currency translation loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $6,649,917, compared to $147,341 for the year ended
December 31, 2014, an increase of $6,502,576.
Net Loss Available to
Common Stockholders.
Net loss available to our common
stockholders was $0.04 per share (basic and diluted), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net loss of $0.03
per share (basic and diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Operating Activities
.
Net cash outflow from operating activities was $4,735,142 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, compared to net cash
outflow from operating activities of $5,277,025 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $541,883. The decrease in
net cash outflow from operating activities was primarily contributed by the following factors:

PLACEMENT AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a Placement Agreement
with [_____] (the “Placement Agent”) with respect to the Common Stock subject to this offering. The address of the
Placement Agent is [________________]. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Placement Agreement, we have agreed to sell
and the Placement Agent has agreed to sell on our behalf, at the public offering price less the placement discounts and commissions
set forth below a minimum of [__________] shares of common stock and a maximum of [__________] shares of common
stock. Once all closing conditions have been satisfied and a closing has occurred, the underwriters will have the option to sell
up to an additional [_______] shares of Common Stock for $7,500,000 of original gross proceeds in this offering, as part of its
over-subscription option.
The Placement Agent must sell
the minimum number of securities offered ([________] common shares) if any shares are sold. The Placement Agent is required to
use only its best efforts to sell the securities offered. The offering will terminate upon the earlier of: (i) a date mutually
acceptable to us and the Placement Agent after which the minimum offering is sold or (ii)[___________], 2016, subject to extension
upon agreement with the Placement Agreement (the “Offering Termination Date”). Until at least [___________] shares
of common stock are sold, all funds received in payment for securities sold in this offering will be required to be submitted
by subscribers to a non-interest bearing escrow account at [___________], as Escrow Agent, and will be held by the escrow agent
for such account. The Placement Agent and our Company shall require all investor checks for payment for the Securities to be made
payable to [___________], as Escrow Agent and delivered to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. All subscription
agreements and checks should be delivered to [______________________]. Failure to do so will result in checks being returned to
the investor who submitted the check. No investor checks shall be made payable to us, Placement Agent or any other entity until
the minimum contingency occurs. The investors will have sole claim to the proceeds held in trust prior to the receipt of the minimum
offering proceeds. The funds are held for the benefit of the investors until the minimum is reached. Prior to reaching the minimum
claims may not be reached by creditors of the Company. If the Placement Agent does not sell at least [_____________] shares of
common stock by [__________], 2016, all funds will be returned within [_] business days to subscribers without interest or deduction.
If this offering completes, then on the closing date, net proceeds will be delivered to us and we will issue the shares of common
stock to purchasers. The closing will occur, as to all subscriptions duly received and accepted by us, in one closing, and we
do not intend to hold multiple closings in the offering. Once all closing conditions have been satisfied and a closing has occurred,
the Placement Agent will have the option to sell up to an additional [________] shares of Common Stock for $7,500,000 of original
gross proceeds in this offering, as part of its over-subscription option.
The Offering will be made on
a “best-efforts, mini-max” basis such that the Placement Agent is required, subject to certain conditions, to take
and pay for only such shares as it may sell to the public. The obligations of the Placement Agent may be terminated upon the occurrence
of certain events specified in the Placement Agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the Placement Agreement, the Placement Agent’s
obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations and warranties contained in the Placement Agreement, such as
receipt by the Placement Agent of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.
Shares issued in this offering will
be delivered electronically to the accounts of those purchasers who hold accounts at the Placement Agent as soon as practical
upon the closing of the offering. Alternately, subscribers who do not carry an account at the Placement Agent may request that
the shares be held in book-entry at the Company’s transfer agent, be delivered in certificated form to the subscriber, or
may be issued in book-entry at the Company’s transfer agent and subsequently delivered electronically to the subscribers
brokerage account upon request of the subscriber.
Escrow Agent and Timing
The Placement Agents and the
Company have agreed in accordance with the provisions of SEC Rule 15c2-4 to cause all funds received by the Placement Agent
for the sale of the Common Stock to be promptly deposited in an escrow account maintained by [_______] (the “Escrow Agent”)
as escrow agent for the investors in the offering. The Escrow Agent will exercise signature control on the escrow account and
will act based on joint instructions from our Company and the Placement Agent. On the closing date for the offering, and presuming
that all conditions to closing have been attained proceeds in the escrow account maintained by the Escrow Agent will be delivered
to our company. We will not be able to use such proceeds in China, however, until we complete certain remittance procedures in
China, which may take as long as six months in the ordinary course. If we do not complete this offering before the Offering Termination
Date, all amounts will be promptly returned as described below. In the event of any dispute between our Company and the Placement
Agent, including whether and how funds are to be reimbursed, the Escrow Agent is entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to resolve any such dispute.
Investors must pay in full for
all Common Stock at the time of investment, to the Escrow Agent. Payment for the Common Stock may be made (i) by check, bank draft
or money order made payable to “[___________]” and delivered to the Placement Agent in no less than [_] business days

Agent and their dealers to the Escrow Agent by 12 pm of the following business day. The Placement Agent will inform prospective
purchasers of the anticipated date of closing. If payment is made by check, investors should make all checks payable to the Escrow
Agent.
Proceeds deposited into escrow
with the Escrow Agent may not be withdrawn by investors prior to the earlier of the closing of the offering or the Offering Termination
Date. If the offering is withdrawn or canceled or terminated and proceeds therefrom are not received by us on or prior to the
Offering Termination Date, all proceeds will be promptly returned by the Escrow Agent without interest or deduction to the persons

We expect our total cash expenses
for this offering (including cash expenses payable to our Placement Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses) to be up to $450,000
if we reach the minimum, $750,000 if we complete the maximum offering, or $862,500 if the Placement Agent exercises in full its

Discretionary Accounts.
The Placement Agent has informed us that it does not intend to make sales to any accounts over which it has discretionary authority.
Warrants.
We have agreed
to issue to the Placement Agent and to register herein warrants to purchase up to a total of up to [___________] shares of common
stock (equal to 9% of the aggregate number of common shares sold in this Offering under maximum placement) and to also register
herein such underlying shares. The warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing
365 days from the effective date of the Offering and expiring five years from the effective date of the Offering. The warrants
are exercisable at a per share price equal to 100% of the public offering price per share in the Offering. The warrants have been
deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. The Placement
Agent (or permitted assignees under FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants
or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction
that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days
from the effective date of the Offering. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be
adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization,
reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances
of shares of common stock at a price below the warrant exercise price.
Indemnification and Other
Matters.
We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act, and to contribute to payments the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect thereof. The Placement Agent and its
affiliates may also provide from time to time in the future certain financial advisory, investment banking and other services
for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they may receive customary fees and commissions.
From time to time, the Placement Agent and its affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers,
and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may
do so in the future.
Lock Up.
We, on behalf
of ourselves and any successor entity, have agreed that we will not, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective
date of the Registration Statement (the “Lock-Up Period”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option
or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise
transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of our company or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of our company; (ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement
with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of our company or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of our company or (iii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that
transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of our company, whether
any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of capital stock of our
company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
The restrictions contained in
the above paragraph shall not apply to (i) the Public Securities to be sold hereunder, (ii) the issuance by our company of Shares
upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof and disclosed in the
Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus as outstanding or (iii) the issuance by our company of an option
or shares of capital stock of our company under any stock compensation plan of our company disclosed in the Registration Statement,
the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, or upon approval of our company’s board of directors, to any officer, director,
employee or consultant of our company as compensation for services.
Stabilization.
The Placement
Agent will not take any action designed to or that constitutes or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under
the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization of the price of any security of our company to facilitate the sale or resale of the
shares sold in this offering.
We intend to apply to have our
common stock listed on the NYSE under the symbol “YERR.” However, the offering price for Common Stock offered hereby
was negotiated by us and the Placement Agent and therefore may not necessarily reflect the last reported sale price for our Common
Stock or the market price of our common stock following the Offering. In addition to recent sale prices for our Common Stock,
the following factors were considered in determining the offering price:
• the
information presented in this Prospectus and otherwise available to the Placement Agent;
• our
past and present operations;
• our
historical results of operations;
• our
current financial condition and results of operations;
• our
prospects for future business and earning potential;
• our
management;
• the
recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies;
• the
history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
• the
general condition of the securities markets at the time of this Offering;
• the
recent market prices of securities of generally comparable companies;
• the
market capitalization and stages of development of other companies which we and the representatives believe to be comparable to
us; and
• other
factors deemed to be relevant.
We cannot
offer any assurance that the offering price corresponds to the price at which the common stock will trade in the public market
subsequent to the Offering or that an active trading market for the common stock will develop and continue after the Offering.
Passive Market Making.
In connection with this Offering, the Placement Agent may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on
the NYSE in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before commencement of offers or
sales of the shares and extending through completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price
not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive
market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

has attended all meetings either in person or via telephone conference, or through written consent for special meetings. In addition
to the contact information in this prospectus, the Board has adopted procedures for communications to the officers and directors
as of January 25, 2016. Each stockholder will be given specific information on how he/she can direct communications to the officers
and directors of the Company at our annual stockholders meetings. All communications from stockholders are relayed to the members
of the Board.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board is primarily responsible for
overseeing our risk management processes. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel,
and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The Board focuses on the most significant
risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our
company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company’s risk management,
management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective
approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.
The audit committee, which was formed on
January 25, 2016, assists our Board in its general oversight of, among other things, the company’s policies, guidelines and
related practices regarding risk assessment and risk management, including the risk of fraud. As part of this endeavor, the audit
committee reviews and assesses the company’s major financial, legal, regulatory, environmental and similar risk exposures
and the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The audit committee also reviews and assesses the
quality and integrity of the company’s public reporting, the company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,
the performance and independence of the company’s independent auditors, the performance of the company’s internal audit
department, the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and the adequacy and effectiveness of
the company’s risk management policies and related practices.
Committees of the Board of Directors
On January 25, 2016, the Board formed and
adopted charters for six standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nomination Committee, Governance and Human
Resources Committee, Board Oversight Committee, Social Media Committee (collectively the “Committees”). Each Committee
consists of only independent directors of the Company. The Board also adopted charter for the Regulatory, Compliance and Government
Affairs Committee, for which the charter will be implemented once the committee is formed. The Company believes that the adoption
of these charters and formation of these Committees are necessary for the implementation of effective internal control and oversight
and a significant step towards remediating any material weakness the Company currently has.

The Board also adopted an insider trading
policy that allows insiders to sell securities of the Company pursuant to pre-arranged trading plans.

the insider trading rules in the form of an affirmative defense. Rule 10b5-1 recognizes the creation of formal programs under which
executives and other insiders may sell the securities of publicly traded companies on a regular basis pursuant to written plans
that are entered into at a time when the plan participants are not aware of material non-public information and that otherwise
comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1.
The Board also adopted a written disclosure
policy, which applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, to ensure that
communications to the investing public about the Company are timely, factual and accurate and broadly disseminated in accordance
with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
In addition, the Board adopted a whistleblower
procedure that provides the Audit Committee the responsibility to ensure proper procedure of the receipt, retention, and treatment
of complaints about the Company’s accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters. The Audit Committee must
also provide for confidential, anonymous submission by the Company’s employees of concerns about questionable accounting
or auditing matters.
Lastly, the Board adopted a corporate governance

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS,
AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
The following includes a summary of
certain transaction in the fiscal 2015, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds
$120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described
in Item 11 of this Report). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection
with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable,
in arm’s-length transactions.
Loans from a related party
On December 19, 2015, the Company entered
into certain share exchange agreements with Energetic Mind and all the shareholders of Energetic Mind whereby the Company acquired
100% issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Energetic Mind from these shareholders, including Xiangyao Liu, who was appointed
as Company’s executive officer and Chairman of the Board upon completion of the transaction. As part of the transaction,
the Company agreed to issue to Jasper Lake Holdings Limited, an entity Mr. Liu has investing and dispositive power of, an 8% convertible
promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000,000 (the “Note”).
Subsequently on December 31, 2015, the
Company entered into certain stock purchase and business sale agreements with Kirin Global Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation
and an entity controlled by a former officer and director of the Company whereby the Company sold its interest in certain subsidiaries
for an aggregate of $75,000,002.00. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement for this transaction, Jasper agreed to finance Kirin
Global $75,000,000 for a partial payment of transaction through reduction of the Note by $75,000,000. As a result of this transaction,
the outstanding balance due to Jasper under the Note is $75,000,000.00 plus any accrued interest.
The issuance of the the
Note at the closing of the transaction has been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance
on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Director Independence
The Board has adopted a formal set of Director
Independence Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) with respect to the determination of director independence, which either
conform to or are more exacting than the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards, and the full text of which will
soon to be available on our website at www.yerr.com.cn, under Investor Relations.
NYSE Corporate Governance Standard Rule
303A.02 provides that:
(a)(i) No director qualifies as "independent"
unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company (either
directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
(ii) In addition, in affirmatively determining
the independence of any director who will serve on the compensation committee of the listed company's board of directors, the board
of directors must consider all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to the listed
company which is material to that director's ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation
committee member, including, but not limited to:
(A) the source of compensation of such
director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the listed company to such director; and
(B) whether such director is affiliated
with the listed company, a subsidiary of the listed company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the listed company.
In addition, a director is not “independent”
if:
(i) The director is, or has been within
the last three years, an employee of the listed company, or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years,
an executive officer, 1 of the listed company.
(ii) The director has received, or has
an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in
direct compensation from the listed company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation
for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service).
(iii) (A) The director is a current partner
or employee of a firm that is the listed company's internal or external auditor; (B) the director has an immediate family member
who is a current partner of such a firm; (C) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm
and personally works on the listed company's audit; or (D) the director or an immediate family member was within the last three
years a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the listed company's audit within that time.
(iv) The director or an immediate family
member is, or has been with the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the listed company's
present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company's compensation committee.
(v) The director is a current employee,
or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from,
the listed company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1
million, or 2% of such other company's consolidated gross revenues.
In accordance with these Guidelines, a
director or nominee for director must be determined to have no material relationship with the Company other than as a director.
The Guidelines specify the criteria by which the independence of our directors will be determined, including strict guidelines
for directors and their immediate family members with respect to past employment or affiliation with the Company or its independent
registered public accounting firm. The Guidelines also prohibit Audit and Compensation Committee members from having any direct
or indirect financial relationship with the Company, and restrict both commercial and not-for-profit relationships of all directors
with the Company. Directors may not be given personal loans or extensions of credit by the Company, and all directors are required
to deal at arm's length with the Company and its subsidiaries, and to disclose any circumstance that might be perceived as a conflict
of interest.
As of February 18, 2016, our Board is composed
of six committees and eleven members, of which six directors are independent directors. The six independent directors are Harvey
Leibowitz, Daniel W. Heffernan, Romano Tio, Zhihong Su, Tongmin Wang and Zhixue Liu. In addition, as indicated above in “Directors
and Executive Officers”, each of our six board committee is composed entirely of independent directors, including the chairperson
of the audit committee and compensation committees. We believe that having a majority of independent directors that make up our
Board and committees exclusively of independent directors benefits the company, as well as our stockholders. Company also believes
that director independence, formation of board committees and adoption of committee charters address any material weakness the
Company has had in the past.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved
in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent
uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently
not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or operating results.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Introduction
In the discussion that follows, we have
summarized selected provisions of our articles of incorporation relating to our capital stock. This summary is not complete. This
discussion is subject to the relevant provisions of Nevada law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of
incorporation and our bylaws. You should read our articles of incorporation and our bylaws as currently in effect for provisions
that may be important to you.
Authorized Capital Stock
Our authorized share capital consists
of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001
per share. As of March 30, 2016, 172,269,446 shares of our common stock and no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding.
Common Stock
Each share of our common stock entitles
its holder to one vote in the election of each director and on all other matters voted on generally by our stockholders, other
than any matter that (1) solely relates to the terms of any outstanding series of preferred stock or the number of shares of that
series and (2) does not affect the number of authorized shares of preferred stock or the powers, privileges and rights pertaining
to the common stock. No share of our common stock affords any cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders of a majority
of the voting power of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all directors to be elected if they choose to
do so.
Holders of our common stock will be entitled
to dividends in such amounts and at such times as our Board of Directors in its discretion may declare out of funds legally available
for the payment of dividends. We currently intend to retain our entire available discretionary cash flow to finance the growth,
development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable
future. Any future dividends will be paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors,
including:
|
●
|
general business conditions;
|
|
●
|
industry practice;
|
|
●
|
our financial condition and performance;
|
|
●
|
our future prospects;
|
|
●
|
our cash needs and capital investment plans;
|
|
●
|
our obligations to holders of any preferred stock we may issue;
|
|
●
|
income tax consequences; and
|
|

the restrictions Nevada and other applicable laws and our credit arrangements then impose.
|
If we liquidate or dissolve our business,
the holders of our common stock will share ratably in all our assets that are available for distribution to our stockholders after
our creditors are paid in full and the holders of all series of our outstanding preferred stock, if any, receive their liquidation
preferences in full.
Our common stock has no preemptive rights
and is not convertible or redeemable or entitled to the benefits of any sinking or repurchase fund.
Preferred Stock
At the direction of our Board of Directors,
without any action by the holders of our common stock, we may issue one or more series of preferred stock from time to time. Our
Board of Directors can determine the number of shares of each series of preferred stock, the designation, powers, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions applicable to any
of those rights, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences,
of each series.
Undesignated preferred stock may enable
our Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a tender
offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred
stock may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. For example, any preferred stock issued may rank prior to the
common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible
into shares of common stock. As a result, the issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares
of preferred stock, may discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal or bids for our common stock or may otherwise adversely
affect the market price of our common stock or any existing preferred stock.
Warrants
There are no outstanding warrants.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The Transfer Agent for our common stock
is VStock Transfer, LLC at 18 Lafayette Pl, Woodmere, NY 11598. Its telephone number is: (212) 828-8436

INC.)
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 AND 2014
TABLE OF CONTENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Yangtze River Development Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Yangtze River Development Limited (the “Company”) (formerly known as Kirin International Holding,
Inc.) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in
owners’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.
Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Yangtze River Development Limited
as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2015 and 2014
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of Yangtze River Development Limited (the “Company” or “Yangtze River”) and its
subsidiaries, Energetic Mind Limited (“Energetic Mind”), Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Limited (“Ricofeliz Capital”),
and Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Newport”).
The Company, formerly named as Kirin International
Holding, Inc., and Ciglarette, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 23, 2009. The Company was a development
stage company and has not generated significant revenue since inception to March 1, 2011.
On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into
a share exchange agreement that Kirin China Holding Limited (“Kirin China”) became the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary. Kirin China engaged in the development and sales of residential and commercial real estate properties, and development
of land lots in People’s Republic of China (“China”, or the “PRC”).
On December 19, 2015, the Company completed
a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Energetic Mind and all the shareholders of Energetic Mind, whereby Yangtze
River acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Energetic Mind, in exchange for 151,000,000 shares of Yangtze
River’s common stock, which constituted approximately 88% of its issued and outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis of
Yangtze River immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange, and an 8% convertible note (the “Note”) in
the principal amount of $150,000,000. As a result of the Share Exchange, Energetic Mind became Yangtze River’s wholly-owned
subsidiary and Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (“Jasper”), the former shareholder of Energetic Mind, became Yangtze River’s
controlling stockholder. The Share Exchange transaction with Energetic Mind was treated as an acquisition, with Energetic Mind
as the accounting acquirer and Yangtze River as the acquired party. The financial statements before the date of the Share Exchange
are those of Energetic Mind with the results of the Company being consolidated from the date of the Share Exchange.
Energetic Mind owns 100% of Ricofeliz Capital and operates its
business through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport.
Wuhan Newport was a wholly owned subsidiary
of Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd. (the “Wuhan Renhe”), a company incorporated in the PRC as at September 23, 2002. On
July 13, 2015, Wuhan Renhe transferred all of the equity interests of the Company to Ricofeliz Capital, a company incorporated
in Hong Kong on March 25, 2015. Ricofeliz Capital was incorporated by Energetic Mind, a company incorporated in British Virgin
Islands (“BVI”). Energetic Mind was incorporated by Mr. Liu Xiangyao on January 2, 2015, and was subsequently purchased
by various companies incorporated in BVI or the United States of America (“USA”), among whom Jasper became its 64%
owner. Jasper was 100% owned by Mr. Liu Xiangyao, a Hong Kong citizen.
The major assets of Wuhan Newport include
land lots for developing commercial buildings that are in line with the principal activities of Kirin China.
On December 31, 2015, the Company entered
into certain stock purchase and business sale agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kirin Global Enterprises, Inc. (the
“Purchaser”), a California corporation and an entity controlled by a former officer and director of the Company whereby
the Company sold its interest in certain subsidiaries (see note 11) for an aggregate of $75,000,002. (the “Sale”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements,
Jasper agreed to finance the Sale by reducing Company’s financial obligations of the Note by an aggregate of $75,000,000.
In addition, the Purchaser agreed to pay the remaining two dollar in cash.
Upon completion of the Sale, the Company
operates its business solely through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport, primarily engaging in the business as a port logistic center
located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the PRC.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of all the subsidiaries. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been
eliminated upon consolidation.
The consolidated balance sheets are presented
unclassified because the time required to complete real estate projects and the Company’s working capital considerations
usually stretch for more than one-year period.
2.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing
basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause
the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements include:
(i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; and (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets;
(v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds
and compensation payables.
2.3 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company
maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.
2.4 Property
and equipment
The property and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated in Note 7.
The Company eliminates
the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss
in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major
additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.
2.5 Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company applies
the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(ASC 360- 10) issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists,
an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests
long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more
frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair
value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the
cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation
of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result
from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company
measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value
is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments.
The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are
considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
2.6 Fair values of financial instruments
ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether
or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices
are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly
affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair
value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate
settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from
its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
As of December
31, 2015 and 2014, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables, other receivables,
short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts
approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.
2.7 Convertible notes
In accordance with ASC subtopic 470-20,
the convertible notes are initially carried at the principal amount of the convertible notes. Debt premium or discounts, which
are the differences between the carrying value and the principal amount of convertible notes at the issuance date, together with
related debts issuance cost, are subsequently amortized using effective interest method as adjustments to interest expense from
the debt issuance date to its first redemption date. Convertible notes are classified as a current liability if they are or will
be callable by the Company or puttable by the debt holders within one year from the balance sheet date, even though liquidation
may not be expected within that period.
2.8 Foreign currency translation
and transactions
The Company’s consolidated financial
statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting currency. Yangtze River, Energetic Mind,
and Ricofeliz Capital uses US$ as its functional currency. Wuhan Newport uses Renminbi Yuan(“RMB”) as its functional
currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction.
Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency
transaction in the statements of operations.
In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency
Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable
balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments
resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

2.9 Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from steel
trading when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection
is reasonably assured.
Real estate sales are reported in accordance
with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.
Revenue from the sales of completed properties
and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) sale is
consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the
property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks
and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with
the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b)
all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all
conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant
to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual
method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred,
and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Revenue and profit from the sale of development
properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the
sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is
committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already
been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate
sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits
until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.
The Company has not generated any revenue
from the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2015 AND 2014
2.10 Real estate capitalization and
cost allocation
Real estate property completed and
real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction and units completed. Properties
under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost capitalization of
development and redevelopment activities begins during the predevelopment period, which we define as the activities that are necessary
to begin the development of the property. We cease capitalization upon substantial completion of the project, but no later than
one year from cessation of major construction activity. We also cease capitalization when activities necessary to prepare the
property for its intended use have been suspended. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest
on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms of 40
years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers
properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within a project
based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other
costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value.
2.11 Capitalization of interest
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant
and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under development. For the years ended December
31, 2015 and 2014, nil and nil were capitalized as properties under development, respectively.
2.12 Advertising expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred,
or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the years ended December 31,
2015 and 2014, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $7,724 and $47,187, respectively.
2.13 Share-based compensation
The Company grants restricted shares to
its non-employee consultants. Awards granted to non-employees are measured at fair value at the earlier of the commitment date
or the date the services are completed, and are recognized using graded vesting method over the period the service is provided.
2.14 Income taxes
Current income taxes are provided for in
accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements,
the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for
income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements
at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable
for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company adopts a more likely than not
threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach,
the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that
it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process,
if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon
settlement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any uncertain tax position.
2.15 Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)
In accordance with the relevant taxation
laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value,
which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property
development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities,
and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold. The
Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT
for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations. LAT would
be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

2.16 Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the
weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for convertible notes under
if-convertible method, if dilutive. Potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share
calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.
2.17 Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss includes net income
(loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustments.
2.18 Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company
is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of
matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss
Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
2.19 Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company does not believe other recently
issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2016-01, if currently adopted, would have a material effect of the consolidated
financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

3. Risks
(a) Liquidity
risk
The Company is
exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments
and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures.
(b) Foreign
currency risk
A majority of
the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated
in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the
Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC.
Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form
together with suppliers' invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and
to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.
(c) Concentration
risk
For the year ended December 31, 2014, two
customers accounted for all of sales. There were no sales for the year December 31, 2015.

9. REAL ESTATE PROPERTY
REFUND AND COMPENSATION PAYABLe
During the years 2012 and 2011, the Company
signed 443 binding agreements of sales of commercial offices of the project with floor area of 22,790 square meters to unrelated
purchasers (the transactions or the real estate sales transactions). The Company received deposits and considerations from the
purchasers as required by the agreements. The construction commenced in the 2010, which was originally expected to be delivered
to customers in late of 2012. No revenue was recognized from the sales of the commercial offices due to the reason stated below.
Owing to commercial reasons, the Company
decided to terminate the agreements made for the sale of the real estate properties in relation to the project of Wuhan Centre
China Grand Market. According to the agreements of sales, the Company is obliged to compensate the purchaser at a rate equal to
6% per annum or 0.05% per day on the deposits paid. In the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred $1,528,126
and $1,547,428 compensation expenses which were included in general and administrative expenses.
As at December 31, 2015, 375 out of 443
agreements were cancelled, and no completed office (or real estate certificate) has been delivered to the purchaser. The Company
is still in the progress of negotiating with the purchasers for the cancellation of the remaining agreements. The directors of
the Company are of the opinion that almost all of the purchasers shall accept the cancellation. If, finally the purchaser insisted
on the execution of the agreement, the Company will accept.
Real estate property refund and compensation
payable represent the amount of customer deposits received and the compensation calculated in accordance with the provisions in
the sales agreements. The payable consists of the followings:

OF SUBSIDIARIES

all of its interests in i) Brookhollow Lake, LLC, ii) Newport Property Holding, LLC, iii) wholly-owned subsidiary Kirin China,
iv) wholly-owned subsidiary Kirin Hopkins Real Estate Group, v) wholly-owned subsidiary Archway Development Group LLC, vi) wholly-owned
subsidiary Specturm International Enterprise, LLC and vii) wholly-owned subsidiary HHC-6055 Centre Drive LLC (collectively referred
to as the “Kirin Subsidiaries”). The sale of Kirin China also effectively terminated Company’s contractual relationship
with Hebei Zhongding Real Estate Development Co. Ltd and Xingtai Zhongding Jiye Real Estate Development Co., Ltd, both of which
are companies formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and were deemed Company’s variable interest entities
prior to the Sale.
The Company sold its interests in Kirin

as of disposal date and the Company recognized the differences of $11,687,098 to shareholders' equity as a capital transaction.
12. CONVERTIBLE NOTE
On December 19, 2015, the Company issued
an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $150,000,000 to Jasper, a related party, in the Share Exchange (see note 1).
The holder of the Note may convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued
and unpaid interest, into shares of Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share.
On December 31, 2015, pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Agreements, Jasper, financed the Purchaser for the Sale by reducing Company’s financial obligations
under the Note by an aggregate of $75,000,000 (see note 1). As a result of the Sale, the outstanding balance due to Jasper under
the Note was $75,000,000 plus any accrued interest.
There was no beneficial conversion feature
attributable to the Note as the set conversion price of the Note was greater than the fair value of the common share price at the
date of issuance. The Company has accounted for the Note in accordance with ASC 470-20, as a single instrument as a non-current
liability. The Note is initially carried at the gross cash received at the issuance date.
The interest expense for the convertible
note included in the consolidated statements of operations is $197,260 and nil for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Note issuance costs are immaterial.

insurance, medical insurance, work injury insurance and birth insurance. The Company recorded the contribution in the salary and
employee charges when incurred. The contributions made by the Company were $64,005 and $17,507 for the years ended December 31,
2015 and 2014, respectively.

in exchange for its legal and professional services to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
These shares were valued at $5.7 per share, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Total

year ended December 31, 2015 was $1,808,867. Total compensation expense of approximately $1,941,163 will be recognized in 2016.

18. Concentration
of Credit Risks
As of December
31, 2015 and 2014, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions
located in China and the US, which management believes are of high credit quality.
The Company’s
operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations
may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s
economy. The business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary
measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
No customer accounted for more than
10% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
19. Commitments and
Contingencies

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2015 AND 2014
20. Subsequent Event
The management evaluated all events subsequent
to the balance sheet date through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Except for the followings,
there are no significant matters to make material adjustments or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
On January 13, 2016, the Company filed
a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Nevada, changing its name from “Kirin
International Holding, Inc.” to “Yangtze River Development Limited”.
Effective January 22, 2016, upon approval
by FINRA, Yangtze River Development Limited, or formerly Kirin International Holding, Inc., changed its stock symbol from “KIRI”
to “YERR”.
On January 25, the board of directors (the
“Board”) of the Company formed and adopted charters for six standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee,
Nomination Committee, Governance and Human Resources Committee, Board Oversight Committee, Social Media Committee (collectively
the “Committees”). Each Committee consists of only independent directors of the Company. The Board also adopted charter
for the Regulatory, Compliance and Government Affairs Committee, for which the charter will be implemented once the committee is
formed. The Company believes that the adoption of these charters and formation of these Committees are necessary for the implementation
of effective internal control and oversight and a significant step towards remediating any material weakness the Company currently
has. Members of the Committees are as set forth below
●
|
Audit Committee: Harvey Leibowitz (Chair), Zhihong Su, Daniel W. Heffernan, Romano Tio, Tongmin Wang
|
●
|
Compensation Committee: Harvey Leibowitz (Chair), Zhihong Su, Zhixue Liu, Romano Tio, Daniel W. Heffernan
|
●
|
Nomination Committee: Daniel W. Heffernan (Chair), Harvey Leibowitz, Zhixue Liu, Romano Tio, Zhihong Su
|
●
|
Governance and Human Resources Committee: Zhihong Su (Chair), Harvey Leibowitz, Romano Tio, Daniel W. Heffernan, Tongmin Wang
|
●
|
Board Oversight Committee: Daniel W. Heffernan (Chair), Zhixue Liu, Harvey Leibowitz, Romano Tio, Zhihong Su
|
●
|
Social Media Committee: Romano Tio (Chair), Harvey Leibowitz, Zhihong Su, Daniel W. Heffernan, Tongmin Wang
|
The Company believes that all members of
each of the audit and compensation committees are independent and that Mr. Harvey Leibowitz qualifies as an “audit committee
financial expert,” as that term is defined in applicable regulations of the SEC.
The Audit Committee is responsible for
making such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting and external audits of the Company and its
subsidiaries; to provide to the Board the results of its examinations and recommendations derived there from; to outline to the
Board improvements made, or to be made, in internal accounting controls; to nominate independent auditor; and to provide to the
Board such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters
requiring Board attention.
The Company believes that the adoption
of these charters and formation of these Committees, specifically that of the Audit Committee, are necessary for the implementation
of effective internal control.
21. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS
PRC laws and regulations permit
payments of dividends by the Company’s subsidiary incorporated in the PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as
determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary incorporated
in the PRC are required to annually appropriate 10% of their net income to the statutory reserve prior to payment of any dividends,
unless such reserve have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. In addition, registered share capital and capital
reserve accounts are also restricted from withdrawal in the PRC, up to the amount of net assets held in each subsidiary. As a
result of the restrictions described above and elsewhere under PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s subsidiary incorporated
in the PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company in the form of dividends or
advances from PRC subsidiary. Such restriction amounted to $297,052,074 as of December 31, 2015. Except for the above, there is
no other restriction on the use of proceeds generated by the Company’s subsidiary to satisfy any obligations of the Company.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subsection 7 of Section 78.138 of the Nevada
Revised Statutes (the “Nevada Law”) provides that, subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions, a director
or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act
or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted
a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of law. The statutory standard of liability established by Section 78.138 controls even if there is
a provision in the corporation’s articles of incorporation unless a provision in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation
provides for greater individual liability.
Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the
Nevada Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (any such person, a “Covered Person”), against expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the Covered Person is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada
Law or the Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe
the Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful.
Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 of the
Nevada Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any Covered Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that such person acted in the capacity of a Covered Person against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit, if the Covered Person is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Law or the Covered Person acted
in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
However, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Covered Person shall have been
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction (after exhaustion of all appeals) to be liable to the corporation or for amounts
paid in settlement to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or
other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances the Covered Person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law further
provides that to the extent a Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to in Subsection 1 or 2, as described above, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the
corporation shall indemnify the Covered Person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by the Covered Person in connection with the defense.
Subsection 1 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada
Law provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law, unless ordered by a court or
advanced pursuant to Subsection 2 of Section 78.751, may be made by a corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon
a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances. Such determination must be made (a)
by the stockholders, (b) by the board of directors of the corporation by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (c) if a majority vote of a quorum of such non-party directors so orders, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of such non-party
directors cannot be obtained.
Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada
Law provides that a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may require
the corporation to pay as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a criminal or civil action, suit or proceeding, the
expenses of officers and directors in defending such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 further provides that its provisions
do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than officers and directors may be entitled
under contract or otherwise by law.
Subsection 3 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada
Law provides that indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered
by a court pursuant to Section 78.751 does not exclude any other rights to which the Covered Person may be entitled under the articles
of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in
his or her official capacity or in another capacity while holding his or her office. However, indemnification, unless ordered by
a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses under Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law,
may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer of the corporation if a final adjudication establishes that his or her
acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action.
Additionally, the scope of such indemnification and advancement of expenses shall continue for a Covered Person who has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors
and administrators.
Section 78.752 of the Nevada Law empowers
a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of a Covered Person for any liability
asserted against such person and liabilities and expenses incurred by such person in his or her capacity as a Covered Person or
arising out of such person’s status as a Covered Person whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such
person against such liability and expenses.
The Bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification
of Covered Persons substantially identical in scope to that permitted under the Nevada Law. Such Bylaws provide that the expenses
of directors and officers of the Company incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, must be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit
or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it
is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Company.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Placement Agents at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates
in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the Placement Agents to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as
part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of New York, New York on March 30, 2016.
