Introduction
China Shianyun Group Corp., Ltd, a Nevada Corporation, was
incorporated on August 17, 2006, with a fiscal year end of June 30
under the name of Glance, Inc. Until December 2008, the
Company was involved in development and production of organic
body-care lotions. At that time, the Company had a change in
ownership via a private stock sale of a majority of the common
stock of the Company. We changed our name to China Green Creative
on January 21, 2009 and changed our fiscal year end to December 31
in 2009. On July 26, 2013, we purchased one
hundred shares of common stock of China Shianyun Group Corp.,
Ltd, a Nevada corporation, representing all of its authorized
shares, for $1,354, causing China Shianyun Group Corp., Ltd to
become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub").
Immediately following the acquisition, Merger Sub was merged with
and into us, effective as of July 26, 2013. As a result of the
merger, our corporate name was changed to "China Shianyun Group
Corp., Ltd." Prior to the merger, Merger Sub had no
liabilities and nominal assets and, as a result of the merger, the
separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. We are the
surviving corporation in the merger and, except for the name
change, there was no change in our directors, officers, capital
structure or business.
We are currently formulating and distributing consumer goods such
as herbal teas and beverage, health liquors, meal replacement
products, eggs and cured meat produced by ecologically breeding
methods in China. In order to satisfy our customer demands for high
quality products, we enter into contracts with factories in China
to produce the products with our design, formula, standards and
distribute those products under our registered brand
names. All our registered brands have obtained
nation-wide product certifications. During the past fiscal year, we
mainly used "GEN + ME" for our own product lines and used various
sub brands under "GEN+ME" for our different product lines. We sell
products under our registered brand name primarily through our
regional independent third-party distributors in the PRC to
customers.
To keep up in such a competitive industry, we constantly adjust our
manufacture and distribution strategies in China according to
current economic conditions, consumer preference, government policy
and social climate in the marketplace. With the improved living
condition in China, people pay more and more attention to healthy
and natural products. In 2015, our top sale products include red
wine using grape grown in original ecological environment in
Xinjiang province. We also established our new Internet of Things
system to provide supply chain management services to the
customers.
We sell products under our registered brand name primarily through
our regional independent third-party distributors in the PRC to
customers mainly in Zhejiang, Beijing, Shandong, Fujian and
Guangdong Provinces. In addition to the sales of consumer products
through distributors, we grant regional distribution rights for the
use of our trademarks and provide continuing support services to
our distributors.
In an effort to stay competitive, as an adjustment of our
distribution strategy, we started developing direct sales via
internet and other electronic mediums in 2012. We granted each of
our regional distributors an online distribution right with an
online shop at our online platform.
We expect to continue to invest in marketing, primarily in
recruiting new regional distributors. We believe this will not only
expand our regional distribution network, but increase our market
acceptance and customer satisfaction.

The Internet of Things, or IoT, emerged as the third wave of
internet development and is gradually merging the physical and
online worlds. The Internet of Things is the network of
physical objects or
"things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors,
and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with the
manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices based on the
infrastructure of International Telecommunication Union's
Global Standards Initiative.
( Source: "Internet of Things Global Standards
Initiative". ITU. Retrieved 26 June 2015. )
The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and
controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure (
Source:
https://hbr.org/resources/pdfs/comm/verizon/18980_HBR_Verizon_IoT_Nov_14.pdf
) creating opportunities for more direct integration between
the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in
improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. (

) Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its
embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the
existing Internet infrastructure. Experts estimate that
the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.(S
ource: Philip N. Howard (8 June 2015). "How big is the
Internet of Things and how big will it get?". The Brookings
Institution. Retrieved 26 June 2015 .)
Seeing the prospect of the Chinese IoT market, from the second
quarter of 2015, we concentrate all our resources on the research
of IoT market and devices. We plan to develop our IoT business
based on the "GEN + ME" chips and the accompanying IoT system. In
the second half year of 2015, our new IoT system is completed, it
can be connected to the internet, mobile internet and optical
subnetwork, and fall across all areas of peoples' lives, including
food, smart home devices, shopping, entertainment, travelling,
microfinance services, delivery and storages services, smart
communities and even starting own business etc. We also updated the
existing "Shianyun" platform to embed the new IoT system, which
provided the information and logistic management services to the
customers using the "Shianyun" platform.
We expect the design of our new IoT system will be continually
developed and rapidly distributed to the communities in next year.
The sales of "GEN + ME" chips and the accompanying IoT system with
the related supporting services will be our core business in the
future. We believe that our IoT system is the link in an
evolutionary chain that began with the ability to "connect" online,
developing since then to the point where people can use that
connectedness to innovate and do business more efficiently. We
expect that the The revenue and market share from IoT business will
be expanding, notching up high growth rates.. As we only just
completed our innovation of our IoT system and at an early stage of
promoting and distributing our new product and technology, we
cannot assure you that this new business model will be successful
and profitable and when we will be able to generate revenue from
this model if any at all.
General Description of Business
The Company is principally engaged in the production and
distribution of consumer goods in the PRC.
Business Overview
We source our selected products from factories in China and
distribute them through our regional independent third-party
distributors according to market demand. Further, in an
effort to stay competitive, we adjust our product portfolio and
distribution strategies in China annually according to economic
conditions, consumer preference, government policy and social
climate in the marketplace. During 2015, our core competencies
consist of red wine using grape grown in original ecological
environment in Xinjiang province, natural eggs, cured meat.
To keep up in such a competitive industry and to satisfy our
customer demands for high quality, safe and healthy products, as
part of our marketing strategy, we register various sub brand names
for our products under our general brand name. All these registered
brands have obtained nation-wide product
certifications. Our general brand is "GEN +ME" and we
currently have approximately 100 sub brands under "GEN + ME" for
our products.
Product Supplies
Due to high demand for healthy food and products in the Chinese
marketplace, we focus our distribution on consumer products to gain
market share and achieve favorable profit margins. Product
selection is made only after our market research team conducts
appropriate due diligence related to market demand and, after
working with our regional independent third-party distributors,
determines the best strategy for moving forward. Upon selection of
each product type, we source each product from the respective
producers within the region. Criteria for choosing producers
include, but are not limited to the following: reputation, product
quality, price, trustworthiness, business track record, and
expertise related to their production of the chosen product. We
also impose a quality control metric that ensures product safety in
accordance with all required government standards. Further, as an
integral part of our products department, our product design team
works to ensure the highest innovation and quality in our
packaging, logos and product descriptions. For example, we
introduced red wine made by grape produced in our Xinjiang farm
base, eggs and cured meat raised using ecological breeding methods,
which were popular among our customers.
Regional Independent Third-party Distributors
Regional independent third-party distributors are the downstream
component in our value chain. They act as our buyers and
resell our products directly to the consumer. We value our
relationship with our distributors as they have their fingers on
the pulse of the market, and best understand the consumer.
However, while the distributors are our clients, we also work
closely with them as partners in an effort to obtain valuable
market information that assists us in our supply chain management.
In our expansion efforts, we are constantly seeking out new
distributors who can help us break into untapped markets that are
sound business opportunities. We rely heavily on our research
department, vendors, business associates, customers and friends to
locate and invite regional independent third-party distributors to
build our distribution network. Further, we choose our
regional independent third-party distributors based on a number of
criteria, including:
· |
The size of the distributor's network in their immediate
market, |
· |
The distributor's ability to market new brands and products within
that market, |
· |
The distributor's operating and logistical strength within the
market, |
· |
The distributor's core competencies and types of products they are
already distributing, |
· |
The distributor's financial strength. |
Product Delivery
To save time, transportation and storage costs, we instruct our
suppliers to ship most of our products directly to our regional
independent third-party distributors. Through negotiation
with our suppliers and the consignment agreements with our
distributors, we hold legal title to these inventories as these
inventories are considered to be in our physical possession. In a
case where there is a product return or defect, the regional
distributors return the goods upon our confirmation and approval.
Meanwhile, we also keep some level of raw materials and
finished goods on hand to meet urgent demand. For
revenue recognition policy, we recognize gross revenue instead of
net revenues based on the following analysis:
· |
Products are designed by the Company, |
· |
We provide product specifications to suppliers for their
production, |
· |
The Company negotiates the price with customers and bears all
credit risks. |
We are in the process of building our own delivery system to
handle shipping and since 2013, we have been shipping partial
products from our logistics center to our regional distributor
directly ourselves.
Marketing and Sales
We rely heavily on our regional independent third-party
distributors to market and promote both our brands and our
products. Our distributors deliver our products directly to
the local retail shops, and we monitor our sales performance and
market information through our distributor's activities. We
typically conduct focused promotion activities when we introduce
our new product to the market. Occasionally, we conduct our
regional product advertising and promotional campaigns directly
through our distributors.
Online platform for customer and regional distributor
Online shopping, as one mode of E-commerce, is accepted by more and
more customers in China, especially by younger people. Observing
the potential opportunity of the huge market for online shopping in
China, as a part of our new business strategies, we established the
"Shianyun" platform based on our existing internet platform to
develop the online-to-offline commerce, link up the online sales
and offline stores and embed our internal production system and
logistics management. The application of the new platform greatly
optimizes our online sales and delivery system.
"GEN +ME" chips and IoT system
The Internet of Things (IoT) starts with the things—the things that
matter most to the business. IoT is about making the things and the
data come together in new ways. We designed the "GEN +ME" chips and
developed our IoT system, which will integrated the IoT data with
the existing business systems such as CRM, ERP, and supply chain.
We will gather related information from the things using our "GEN
+ME" chips and the IoT system will send the solutions to the
customers on their needs. The IoT system can increase reliability
and uptime of the processes as well as decrease costly outages and
expensive repairs with prescriptive maintenance.
Production facilities
In 2009, Jiangxi Jien acquired the land use rights to a parcel of
land (6.3 acres) up to year 2069, on which we expect to develop a
manufacturing base in Anyi County, Jiangxi Province, China. In
consideration of the surrounding environment of the land and lack
of funds, we revised our plan to develop a storage and logistic
base in 2011. Our storage and logistic base mainly comprises
warehouse areas, an administration office, a reconstructed
processing workshop and a wine cellar. We are planning to improve
our site environment and introduce some advanced facilities to our
storage and logistic base. Currently, two warehouses have been in
service and the remaining construction of the base has been
temporarily suspended. The completion of the project, however,
relies on our obtaining sufficient funds in the future, of which
there can be no guarantee. Jiangxi Jien currently sells locally
grown farm products, mainly meat and vegetables, to explore the
local food market.
Competition
We are in a highly competitive industry. We compete with other
distributors in our region, and also complete with vendors who sell
similar products direct in China.
We compete with other distributors and vendors in following
areas:
Product Quality and Cost
The Chinese consumer products market is a very price sensitive
market. As products are similar and information flow is efficient,
product quality and associated costs often dictate the lifespan of
a product. We compete with our competitors in sourcing good and
cost efficient suppliers, quality control, keeping costs to a
minimum, and in the safety precautions taken to keep employees and
customers safe. In order to increase market share, we are
cultivating our distributors to promote our products through online
stores and real stores.
We compete with other players in the industry for the number of
retail shops and for market share within the distribution network.
The larger the number of retail shops, the higher the penetration
of the market and brand awareness. We need to ensure our regional
independent third-party distributors have a sizeable distribution
network in each region so we can maintain our market share,
penetration and exposure. Further, we work with our distributors to
ensure adequate and timely delivery to each region in which we are
selling our products in order to maintain a competitive market
position.
The Chinese consumer is a brand-name consumer. As such, we are
constantly competing primarily on a brand recognition basis.
Maintaining brand recognition and awareness is vital to our short
term strategy and long term survival. We have produced various
advertising videos (including anime) to enhance the reputation
through the enormous influence of mass media. Our current online
platform enables us to sell products directly to end customers and
to expand our customer base. With nationally recognized
distributors joining our online platform in 2013, we use combined
brand "GEN+ME+ third part brand" to further improve our brand
awareness.
Growth Strategies
We are selling our prodcuts through our distributors to customers
mainly in Beijing, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian and Guangdong
Provinces of the PRC. In addition to our traditional distribution
network, we established the "Shianyun" platform based on our
existing internet platform to develop the online-to-offline
commerce, link up the online sales and offline stores and embed our
internal production system and logistics management.
Seeing the prospect of the Chinese IoT market, we concentrated all
our resources on the research of IoT market and devices in 2015.
Our newly developed IoT system can be connected to the internet,
mobile internet and optical subnetwork, and fall across all areas
of peoples' lives. It will connect any asset from robotics to
low-power devices, across any platform or operating system, which
is easily scale from a few devices to millions. We also updated the
existing "Shianyun" platform to embed the new IoT system, which
provided the information and logistic management services to the
customers using the "Shianyun" platform.
Intellectual Property
We are in possession of registered trademark "GEN+ME" for our
products and various registered sub trademarks for our different
products lines under "GEN+ME".
Government Regulation
Regarding distribution of consumer goods, the Chinese government
and PRC laws do not require any special and/or additional
approvals, permissions or any other qualifications except for the
relevant business license.
However, for some of our product offerings, the Chinese government
may impose certain regulations on the production, distribution and
sales. As such, we will only select suppliers and distributors who
are in compliance with all laws and regulations as required by the
Chinese government, and who possess all required licenses, permits
and approvals as is necessary and required to do business in
China.
Foreign Investment in PRC Operating Companies
The
Foreign Investment Industrial Catalogue jointly issued by
China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) and NDRC in 2007 classified
various industries/businesses into three different categories: (i)
encouraged for foreign investment; (ii) restricted to foreign
investment; and (iii) prohibited from foreign investment. For any
industry/business not covered by any of these three categories,
they will be deemed industries/businesses permitted for foreign
investment. Except for those expressly provided with restrictions,
encouraged and permitted industries/businesses are usually 100%
open to foreign investment and ownership. With regard to those
industries/businesses restricted to foreign investment, there is
always a limitation on foreign investment and ownership. Foreign
investment is prohibited in prohibited industries/business. The PRC
subsidiary's business does not fall under the industry categories
that are restricted to, or prohibited from foreign investment and
is not subject to limitation on foreign investment and
ownership.
Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange
Foreign currency exchange in the PRC is governed by a series of
regulations, including the
Foreign Currency Administrative Rules (1996), as amended,
and the
Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment
of Foreign Exchange (1996), as amended. Under these
regulations, the Renminbi is freely convertible for trade and
service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not for direct
investment, loans or investments in securities outside the PRC
without the prior approval of State Administration of Foreign
Exchange (SAFE). Pursuant to the
Administrative Regulations Regarding Settlement, Sale and Payment
of Foreign Exchange (1996), foreign investment enterprises,
or FIEs may purchase foreign exchange without the approval of SAFE
for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions by
providing commercial documents evidencing these transactions. They
may also retain foreign exchange, subject to a cap approved by
SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends.
However, the relevant Chinese government authorities may limit or
eliminate the ability of FIEs to purchase and retain foreign
currencies in the future. In addition, foreign exchange
transactions for direct investment, loan and investment in
securities outside the PRC are still subject to limitations and
require approvals from SAFE.
Regulation of FIEs' Dividend Distribution
The principal laws and regulations in the PRC governing
distribution of dividends by FIEs include:
(i)
|
The
Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law (1979), as amended,
and the
Regulations for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign Equity Joint
Venture Law (1983), as amended;
|
(ii)
|
The
Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprise Law (1988), as amended,
and the
Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Sino-foreign
Cooperative Enterprise Law (1995), as amended;
|
(iii)
|
The
Foreign Investment Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, and
the
Regulations of Implementation of the Foreign Investment Enterprise
Law (1990), as amended.
|
Under these regulations, FIEs in the PRC may pay dividends only out
of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with
Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the
wholly-owned foreign enterprises in the PRC are required to set
aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each
year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds unless such reserve
funds have reached 50% of their respective registered capital.
These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.
Regulation of a Foreign Currency's Conversion into RMB and
Investment by FIEs
On August 29, 2008, SAFE issued a
Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues
concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and
Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested
Enterprises or Notice 142, to further regulate the foreign
exchange of FIEs. According to Notice 142, FIEs shall obtain a
verification report from a local accounting firm before converting
its registered capital in foreign currency into Renminbi, and the
converted Renminbi shall be used for the business within its
permitted business scope. Notice 142 explicitly prohibits FIEs from
using RMB converted from foreign capital to make equity investments
in the PRC, unless the domestic equity investment is within the
approved business scope of the FIE and has been approved by SAFE in
advance. In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight over the flow
and use of Renminbi funds converted from the foreign
currency-dominated capital of a FIE. The use of such Renminbi may
not be changed without approval from SAFE, and may not be used to
repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not yet
been used. Violations of Notice 142 may result in severe penalties,
including substantial fines as set forth in the SAFE rules.
Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore
Transactions
In October 2005, SAFE issued the
Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange
in Fund-raising and Return Investment Activities of Domestic
Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies ,
or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005.
SAFE has also issued implemented rules to SAFE Notice
75. SAFE Notice 75 and its implementation rules require
PRC residents (including both corporate entities and natural
persons) to register with SAFE or its competent local branch in
connection with their direct or indirect shareholding in any
company outside of China referred to as an "offshore special
purpose company" established for the purpose of raising fund from
overseas to acquire assets of, or equity interests in, PRC
companies. Under SAFE Notice 75, a "special purpose vehicle", or
SPV, refers to an offshore entity established or controlled,
directly or indirectly, by PRC residents for the purpose of seeking
offshore equity financing using assets or interests owned by such
PRC residents in onshore companies. In addition, any PRC resident
that is the shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is
required to amend his or her SAFE registration with the SAFE or its
competent local branch, with respect to that offshore special
purpose company in connection with any of its increase or decrease
of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equity investment
or creation of any security interest over any assets located in
China. The SAFE regulations require retroactive approval and
registration of direct or indirect investments previously made by
PRC residents in offshore special purpose companies. PRC
subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to
coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the
offshore holding company's shareholders who are PRC residents in a
timely manner. In the event that a PRC resident shareholder with a
direct or indirect investment in an offshore parent company fails
to obtain the required SAFE approval and make the required
registration, the PRC subsidiaries of such offshore parent company
may be prohibited from making distributions of profit to the
offshore parent and from paying the offshore parent proceeds from
any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation in respect
of the PRC subsidiaries. Further, failure to comply with the
various SAFE approval and registration requirements described
above, as currently drafted, could result in liability under PRC
law for foreign exchange evasion.
There still remain uncertainties as to how certain procedures and
requirements under the aforesaid SAFE regulations will be enforced,
and it remains unclear how these existing regulations, and any
future legislation concerning offshore or cross-border
transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the
relevant government authorities. Although we have requested PRC
residents who, to our knowledge, hold direct or indirect
interests in our Company to make the necessary
applications, filings and amendments as required under the SAFE
Notice 75 and other related rules, our PRC resident beneficial
holders have not completed such approvals and registrations
required by the SAFE regulations. We will attempt to comply, and
attempt to ensure that all of our shareholders subject to these
rules comply with the relevant requirements. We cannot, however,
assure the compliance of all of our China-resident shareholders.
Any current or future failure to comply with the relevant
requirements could subject us to fines or sanctions imposed by the
Chinese government, including restrictions on certain of our
subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or hinder our investment in
those subsidiaries or affect our ownership structure, which could
adversely affect our business and prospects.
Regulations on Employee Stock Option Plans
In December 2006, the People's Bank of China promulgated the
Administrative Measures of Foreign Exchange Matters for
Individuals, which set forth the respective requirements for
foreign exchange transactions by individuals (both PRC or
non-PRC citizens) under either the current account or the capital
account. In January 2007, SAFE issued implementing rules for the
Administrative Measures of Foreign Exchange Matters for
Individuals, which, among other things, specified approval
requirements for certain capital account transactions such as a PRC
citizen's participation in the employee stock ownership plans or
stock option plans of an overseas publicly-listed company. In March
2007, SAFE promulgated the Application Procedures of Foreign
Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in
Employee Stock Ownership Plan or Stock Option Plan of
Overseas-Listed Company, or the Stock Option Rules. Under these
rules, PRC citizens who participate in an employee stock ownership
plan or a stock option plan in an overseas publicly-listed company
are required to register with SAFE or its local branch and complete
certain other procedures. For participants of an employee stock
ownership plan, an overseas custodian bank should be retained by
the PRC agent, which could be the PRC subsidiary of such overseas
publicly-listed company, to hold on trusteeship all overseas assets
held by such participants under the employee share ownership plan.
In the case of a stock option plan, the PRC agent is required to
retain a financial institution with stock brokerage qualification
at the place where the overseas publicly-listed company is listed
or a qualified institution designated by the overseas
publicly-listed company to handle matters in connection with the
exercise or sale of stock options for the stock option plan
participants. For participants who had already participated in an
employee stock ownership plan or stock option plan before the date
of the Stock Option Rules, the Stock Option Rules require their PRC
employers or PRC agents to complete the relevant formalities within
three months of the date of this rule.
Further, a notice concerning the individual income tax on earnings
from employee share options jointly issued by Ministry of Finance,
or the MOF, and the State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT,
and its implementing rules, provide that domestic companies that
implement employee share option programs shall (a) file the
employee share option plans and other relevant documents to the
local tax authorities having jurisdiction over them before
implementing such employee share option plans; (b) file share
option exercise notices and other relevant documents with the local
tax authorities having jurisdiction over them before exercise by
the employees of the share options, and clarify whether the shares
issuable under the employee share options mentioned in the notice
are the shares of publicly listed companies; and (c) withhold taxes
from the PRC employees in connection with the PRC individual income
tax.
We and our PRC citizen employees who participate in the employee
stock incentive plan, which we adopted in 2010, will be subject to
these regulations. We and our PRC option grantees have not
completed the registrations under these regulations. We cannot
assure you that we and our PRC option grantees will be able to
complete the required registrations. Any current or future failure
to comply with the relevant requirements could subject us to fines
or sanctions imposed by the Chinese government, which could
adversely affect our business and prospects.
Government Regulations Relating to Taxation
On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress or NPC, approved
and promulgated the
PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law , which we refer to as the New
EIT Law. The New EIT Law took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the
New EIT Law, FIEs and domestic companies are subject to a uniform
tax rate of 25%. The New EIT Law provides a five-year transition
period starting from its effective date for those enterprises which
were established before the promulgation date of the New EIT Law
and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the
then-effective tax laws or regulations.
On December 26, 2007, the State Council issued a
Notice on Implementing Transitional Measures for Enterprise Income
Tax , or the Notice, providing that the enterprises that
have been approved to enjoy a low tax rate prior to the
promulgation of the New EIT Law will be eligible for a five-year
transition period beginning January 1, 2008, during which time the
tax rate will be increased step by step to the 25% unified tax rate
set out in the New EIT Law. From January 1, 2008, for the
enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 15% before the
promulgation of the New EIT Law, the tax rate will be increased to
18% for 2008, 20% for 2009, 22% for 2010, 24% for 2011, and 25% for
2012. For the enterprises whose applicable tax rate was 24%, the
tax rate will be changed to 25% from January 1, 2008.
The New EIT Law and Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law provide
that an income tax rate of 10% may be applicable to dividends
payable to non-PRC investors that are "non-resident enterprises",
which (i) do not have an establishment or place of business in the
PRC, or (ii) have such establishment or place of business in the
PRC but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the
establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends
are derived from sources within the PRC. The income tax for
non-resident enterprises shall be subject to withholding at the
income source, with the payor acting as the obligatory withholder
under the New EIT Law, and therefore such income taxes generally
called withholding tax in practice. Such income tax may be exempted
or reduced by the State Council of the PRC or pursuant to a tax
treaty between the PRC and the jurisdictions in which our non-PRC
shareholders reside. For example, the 10% withholding tax is
reduced to 5% pursuant to the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement
Between Hong Kong and Mainland China if a Hong Kong resident
enterprise owns more than 25% of the registered capital in a
company in the PRC and is determined by the competent PRC tax
authority to have satisfied the other conditions and requirements
under such Double Tax Avoidance Agreement Between Hong Kong and
Mainland China and other applicable laws. We are a U.S. holding
company and substantially all of our income is derived from
dividends we receive from our subsidiaries located in the PRC.
Thus, if Prospect is considered as a "non-resident enterprise"
under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to Prospect by our
subsidiaries in the PRC are considered income sourced within the
PRC, such dividends may be subject to a withholding tax at a rate
up to 10%.
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax
provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous
terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of
various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in the
combined Company's tax rate in the future could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.

THE FOLLOWING MATTERS MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR
BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR
PROSPECTS, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE. REFERENCE TO THIS CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF A FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT OR
STATEMENTS SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A STATEMENT THAT ANY ONE OR MORE
OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MAY CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT OR
STATEMENTS.
Risks Related to our Business
To maximize our potential for future growth and achieve our
expected revenues, we need to manage growth in our current
operations.
In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential
markets, we believe that we must expand our sourcing, market
research and marketing operations. This expansion will place a
significant strain on our management and on our operational,
accounting, and information systems. We expect that as we continue
to grow we will need to improve our financial controls, operating
procedures, and management information systems to handle increased
operations. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and
manage our employees. Failure to manage our growth could disrupt
our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the
revenues we expect.
We cannot guarantee that our organic growth strategy will be
successful.
One of our growth strategies is to grow organically by increasing
the distribution and sales of our products in new provinces and
regions within China. However, many obstacles to entering new
provinces exist, such as the costs associated with entering into
new markets, developing and implementing effective marketing
efforts, cultural differences and differences in provincial
government policies. We cannot, therefore, assure you that we will
be able to successfully overcome such obstacles and establish our
products in any additional markets. Our inability to successfully
implement our organic growth strategy may have a negative impact on
our growth strategy and on our future financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows.
We cannot assure you that our acquisition growth strategy will be
successful.
In addition to our organic growth strategy, we also expect to grow
through strategic acquisitions. We cannot assure you that our
acquisitions will be successful or that we will have the funds to
pursue any acquisitions. Further, even if we are able to complete
strategic acquisitions, as expected, we will face challenges such
as integration of systems, personnel and corporate culture that may
impact our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses
into our overall corporate structure, which would negatively impact
our business, operations and financial performance.
If we are not able to implement our strategies to achieve our
business objectives, our business operations and financial
performance may be adversely affected.
Our business plan and growth strategy is based on currently
prevailing circumstances and the assumption that certain
circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the inherent risks
and uncertainties involved in various stages of development.
However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in
implementing our strategies or that our strategies, even if
implemented, will lead to the successful achievement of our
objectives. If we are not able to successfully implement our
strategies, our business operations and financial performance may
be adversely affected.
If we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we
may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to
limit the scope of our operations.
As we implement our growth strategies, we may experience increased
capital needs and we may not have enough capital to fund future
operations without additional capital investments. Our capital
needs will depend on numerous factors, including (1) our
profitability; (2) the release of competitive products by our
competition; (3) the level of our investment in marketing research
and development; and (4) the amount of our capital expenditures. 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:
· reduce our investments in marketing
research;
· |
limit our marketing efforts; and |
· |
decrease or eliminate capital expenditures |
Such reductions could have a material adverse affect on our
business and our ability to compete. Even if we do find sources of
additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate acceptable
terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital. 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 debt securities issued by
us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and
privileges senior to our common stock. 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 depend on third parties to supply products; any adverse changes
in such supply or the costs of products may adversely affect our
operations.
We currently obtain our products from third parties. The supply of
these products can be adversely affected by any material change in
the economic and political conditions in China, which may, in turn,
result in increased costs to purchase these products.
We depend on third parties to supply products, and any failure of
our products to comply with safety requirements set by government
may adversely affect our results from operations.
We currently obtain our products from third parties. We may fail to
ensure the supplied goods to be compliance with safety regulation
and rules set by government, which may, in turn, results in losing
our customers and region distributors which would adversely affect
our revenues and stockholder value.
We rely heavily on our regional independent third-party
distributors to market and promote our brands and products, which
could negatively impact our business, operating results and
financial condition.
We rely heavily on our regional independent third-party
distributors to market and promote both our brands and our
products. Our distributors deliver our products directly to
the local retail shops, and we monitor our sales performance and
market information through our distributor's activities.
Though we have we started developing direct sales via
internet and other electronic mediums, there is no guaranty that
our direct sales via internet and other electronic mediums will be
successful in the future. Currently, we are dependent on
third-party distributors to market and promote our brands and
products.
Intense competition from existing and new entities may adversely
affect our revenues and profitability.
We compete with other companies, many of whom are developing, or
can be expected to develop, strategies similar to ours. Some of our
competitors are more established than we are, and have
significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other
resources than we presently possess. Some of our competitors have
greater name recognition and a larger customer base. These
competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing
opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to
undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more
attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing
policies. We intend to create greater brand awareness for our brand
name so that we can successfully compete with our competitors. We
cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively with
current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we
face will not harm our business.
We depend on our key management personnel and the loss of their
services could adversely affect our business.
Our future success is dependent upon the continued service of our
management. We rely on their industry expertise and experience in
our business operations, and in particular, their business vision,
management skills, and working relationships with our employees,
many of our regional distributors and suppliers in our network. We
do not maintain key-man life insurance for our management. If
our management is unable or unwilling to continue in their present
positions or if they join a competitor or form a competing company,
we may not be able to replace them easily or at all. As a result,
our business and growth prospects may be severely disrupted if we
lose any of our management's services.
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S.
corporate governance and accounting requirements.
We may 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
Securities and Exchange Commission and the OTCBB. We expect all of
these applicable rules and regulations to 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
and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors
or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and
monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable
rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional
costs we may incur or the timing of such costs
We may be exposed to risks relating to our disclosure controls and
our internal controls, and may need to incur significant costs to
comply with applicable requirements.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide
reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We
maintain a system of internal controls over financial reporting,
which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision
of, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by
our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have identified certain material weakness during the 12 months
ended December 31, 2015. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis, please refer to Item 9A Controls and Procedures
herein after. In order to correct the foregoing material
weakness, we engaged consultants and added in additional accounting
staff who are familiar with PRC GAAP and US GAAP to assist us in
the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP,
and, once our cash flows from operations improve to a level where
we are able to, we intend to recruit experienced professionals to
augment our financial staff with regard to US GAAP and financial
reporting, which would improve our controls and procedures, with
the regard to the financial statements preparation; and improve the
knowledge of U.S. accounting standards for our current accounting
staff.
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties
may not always be possible and may not be economically
feasible. However, to the extent possible, we intend to
implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions,
the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be
performed by separate individuals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing corrective actions, we cannot
currently ensure that our controls and procedures will be effective
at any time in the immediate future. Moreover, in order to
improve our controls and procedures we anticipate that we will
continue to incur significant costs. Failure to properly
improve our controls and procedures could result in our failure to
meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our
past financial statements, cause harm to our operating
results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause
investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information
and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our
common stock, all of which present significant risk to our
investors.
Insurance coverage for some of our operations may be insufficient
to cover losses.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of its
development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business
insurance products or offer them at a high price. We do not
maintain insurance coverage for various risks. A significant
uninsured claim against us would have a material adverse effect on
our financial position and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Regulation of Our Business
Uncertainties with respect to the governing regulations could have
a material and adverse effect on us.
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation
and application of the PRC laws and regulations, including, but not
limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business and our
ownership of the equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries, both of
which are wholly foreign owned enterprise under the PRC laws. These
laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to
change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may
involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted
laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in
detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations
that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be
applied retroactively.
The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations
of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business
permits and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for
compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted
to the PRC subsidiary by relevant governmental bodies may be
revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot
predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC
laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that
our current ownership and operating structure would not be found to
be in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations.
As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and
could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide
certain services. In addition, any litigation in China may be
protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of
resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions
could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us
from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations,
which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our PRC subsidiaries will be subject to restrictions on dividend
payments.
We conduct all of our business through our consolidated
subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC. We rely on dividends paid by
these consolidated subsidiaries for our cash needs, including the
funds necessary to pay any dividends and other cash distributions
to our stockholders, to service any debt we may incur and to pay
our operating expenses. The payment of dividends by entities
established in the PRC is subject to
limitations. Current regulations in the PRC would permit
the PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to us only out of its
accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance
with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our
PRC subsidiaries will be required to set aside at least 10% (up to
an aggregate amount equal to half of its registered capital) of its
accumulated profits each year. Such cash reserve may not be
distributed as cash dividends. In addition, if the PRC subsidiary
incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments
governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or
make other payments to us. Under U.S. GAAP (Financial Accounting
Standard Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC")
Topic 740-30), no deferred tax expense is required to be recorded
on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries when the parent company
establishes that the earnings will be permanently reinvested
outside the U.S. If dividend payments are made by our
subsidiaries to the US parent, additional U.S. tax could become due
in future years. At the time of the repatriation or
investment in U.S. property, the U.S. will tax the foreign earnings
as a dividend and will allow a foreign tax credit for any foreign
taxes previously paid on the earnings. To the extent
that dividend payments are made by our PRC subsidiaries to our US
Parent additional tax may be due.
PRC regulations on loans and direct investments by overseas holding
companies in PRC entities may delay or prevent us to make overseas
loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC
subsidiary.
Under the PRC laws, foreign investors may make loans to their PRC
subsidiaries or foreign investors may make additional capital
contributions to their PRC subsidiaries. Any loans to such PRC
subsidiaries are subject to the PRC regulations and foreign
exchange loan registrations, i.e. loans by foreign investors to
their PRC subsidiaries to finance their activities cannot exceed
statutory limits and must be registered with the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange (the "SAFE"), or its local
branch. Foreign investors may also decide to finance their PRC
subsidiaries by means of additional capital contributions. These
capital contributions must be examined and approved by the Ministry
of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (the "MOFCOM"), or
its local branch in advance.
Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a
"resident enterprise" of China, and such classification would
likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC
stockholders.
On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress (the "NPC"),
approved and promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (herein
referred as the "New EIT Law"). The New EIT Law took effect on
January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, Foreign Investment
Enterprises ("FIEs"), and domestic companies are subject to a
uniform tax rate of 25%. In addition, an enterprise established
outside of China with "de facto management bodies" within China is
considered a "resident enterprise" which means that we may be
treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise
income tax purposes.
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. On April 22, 2009, the State
Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, issued a circular, or SAT
Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for
determining whether the "de facto management body" of a
PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located
in China, which include all of the following conditions: (a) the
location where senior management members responsible for an
enterprise's daily operations discharge their duties; (b) the
location where financial and human resource decisions are made or
approved by organizations or persons; (c) the location where the
major assets and corporate documents are kept; and (d) the location
where more than half (inclusive) of all directors with voting
rights or senior management have their habitual residence. Although
the SAT Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled
by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled
by PRC individuals or foreigners, the determining criteria set
forth in the SAT Circular 82 may reflect the SAT's general position
on how the "de facto management body" text should be applied in
determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises,
regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises or
individuals. Due to the short history of the New EIT Law and
lack of applicable legal precedents, it remains unclear how the PRC
tax authorities will determine the PRC tax resident treatment of a
foreign company controlled by individuals like us.
If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are "resident
enterprises" for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of
unfavorable PRC tax consequences could 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. In our case, this would 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 subsidiaries would qualify as
"tax-exempt income," we cannot guarantee that such dividends will
not be subject to a 10% withholding tax Finally, it is possible
that "resident enterprise" classification could result in a
situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we
pay to our non-PRC enterprise stockholders and with respect to
gains derived by our non-PRC enterprise stockholders from
transferring our shares and a 20% withholding tax is imposed on
dividends we pay to our non-PRC individual stockholders and with
respect to gains derived by our non-PRC individual stockholders
from transferring our shares.. We are actively monitoring the
possibility of "resident enterprise" treatment for the applicable
tax years and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to
avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.
If we were treated as a "resident enterprise" by PRC tax
authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S. and
China, and our PRC tax may not be credited against our U.S.
tax.
If we receive any dividends from our PRC subsidiaries in the
future, the dividends may be subject to PRC withholding tax.
The New EIT Law and the Implementation Rules of the New EIT Law
provides that an income tax rate of 10% may be applicable to
dividends payable to non-PRC investors that are "non-resident
enterprises", which (i) do not have an establishment or place of
business in the PRC, or (ii) have such establishment or place of
business in the PRC but the relevant income is not effectively
connected with the establishment or place of business, to the
extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. The
income tax for non-resident enterprises shall be subject to
withholding at the income source, with the payer acting as the
obligatory withholder under the New EIT Law, and therefore such
income taxes are generally called withholding tax in practice. It
is currently unclear in what circumstances a source will be
considered as located within the PRC. We are an offshore holding
company. Thus, if Prospect is considered as a "non-resident
enterprise" under the New EIT Law and the dividends paid to us by
our subsidiaries in the PRC are considered income sourced within
the PRC, such dividends may be subject to a withholding tax at a
rate up to 10%.
In January 2009, the State Administration of Taxation, or SAT,
promulgated the Provisional Measures for the Administration of
Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Non-resident Enterprises
("Measures"), pursuant to which, the entities which have the direct
obligation to make the following payment to a non-resident
enterprise shall be the relevant tax withholders for such
non-resident enterprise, and such payment includes: incomes from
equity investment (including dividends and other return on
investment), interests, rents, royalties, and incomes from
assignment of property as well as other incomes subject to
enterprise income tax received by non-resident enterprises in
China. Given these Measures, our PRC subsidiaries have an
obligation to withhold income tax in respect of the dividends paid
to non-resident enterprise investors.
The new tax law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax
provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous
terms as well as the interpretation and specific applications of
various provisions unclear and unspecified. Any increase in the
combined company's tax rate in the future could have a material
adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of
operations.
We face uncertainty from China's Circular on Strengthening the
Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-Resident
Enterprises' Share Transfer (Circular 698 that was released in
December 2009 with retroactive effect from January 1, 2008.)
The Chinese State Administration of Taxation released a circular
("Circular 698") on December 10, 2009 that addresses the transfer
of shares by nonresident companies. Circular 698, which is
effective retroactively to January 1, 2008, may have a significant
impact on many companies that use offshore holding companies to
invest in China. Pursuant to Circular 698, where the withholding
agent does not withhold in accordance with laws or can't perform
the withholding obligation, the non-resident enterprises shall file
a tax declaration with the PRC tax authority located at the place
of the resident enterprise whose equity has been transferred,
within seven days agree the date of the equity transfer provided
under the contracts.
Where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a
Chinese resident enterprise by selling the shares in an offshore
holding company, and the latter is located in a country or
jurisdiction where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5% or
where the offshore income of his, her, or its residents is not
taxable, the foreign investor is required to provide the tax
authority in charge of that Chinese resident enterprise with the
relevant information within 30 days of the transfers. Moreover,
where a foreign investor indirectly transfers equity interests in a
Chinese resident enterprise through an abuse of form of
organization and there are no reasonable commercial purposes such
that the corporate income tax liability is avoided, the PRC tax
authority will have the power to re-assess the nature of the equity
transfer in accordance with PRC's "substance-over-form" principle
and deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used
for tax planning purposes.
There is uncertainty as to the application of Circular 698. For
example, while the term "indirectly transfer" is not defined, it is
understood that the relevant PRC tax authorities have jurisdiction
regarding requests for information over a wide range of foreign
entities having no direct contact with China. Moreover, the
relevant authority has not yet promulgated any formal provisions or
formally declared or stated how to calculate the effective tax in
the country or jurisdiction and to what extent and the process of
the disclosure to the tax authority in charge of that Chinese
resident enterprise. In addition, there are no formal declarations
with regard to how to decide abuse of form of organization and
reasonable commercial purpose, which can be utilized by us to
balance if our company complies with the Circular 698. As a result,
we may become at risk of being taxed under Circular 698 and we may
be required to expend valuable resources to comply with Circular
698 or to establish that we should not be taxed under Circular 698,
which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
Our PRC subsidiaries are obligated to withhold and pay PRC
individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are subject to
PRC individual income tax. If we fail to withhold or pay such
individual income tax in accordance with applicable PRC
regulations, we may be subject to certain sanctions and other
penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.
Under PRC laws, our PRC subsidiaries are obligated to withhold and
pay individual income tax on behalf of our employees who are
subject to PRC individual income tax. If any PRC subsidiary fails
to withhold and/or pay such individual income tax in accordance
with PRC laws, it may be subject to certain sanctions and other
penalties and may become subject to liability under PRC laws.
In addition, the SAT has issued several circulars concerning
employee stock options. Under these circulars, our employees
working in the PRC (which could include both PRC employees and
expatriate employees subject to PRC individual income tax) who
exercise stock options will be subject to PRC individual income
tax. Our PRC subsidiaries have obligations to file documents
related to employee stock options with relevant tax authorities and
withhold and pay individual income taxes for those employees who
exercise their stock options. While tax authorities may advise us
that our policy is compliant, they may change their policy, and we
could be subject to sanctions
Risks Associated With Doing Business in China
There are substantial risks associated with doing business in
China, as set forth in the following risk factors.
Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant
political and economic uncertainties.
Changes in PRC laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or
the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency
conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency
or the nationalization or other expropriation of private
enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Under its current
leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic
reform policies that encourage private economic activity and
greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however,
that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies,
or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to
time without notice.
We derive all of our sales from China.
Substantially all of our sales are generated from China. We
anticipate that sales of our products in China will continue to
represent a substantial proportion of our total sales in the near
future. Any significant decline in the condition of the PRC economy
could adversely affect consumer demand of our products, among other
things, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our
business and financial condition.
Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may
adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to
convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign currencies and, if Chinese
Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in U.S.
dollar terms.
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in
China use their local currency as their functional currencies.
Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in Chinese
Renminbi. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate
fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. For example,
the value of the Renminbi depends to a large extent on Chinese
government policies and China's domestic and international economic
and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the
local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the
conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable
and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar.
However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its
policy of pegging the value of Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar.
Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may fluctuate within a
narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign
currencies.
The statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars
at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the
extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the
translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions
could result in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income
for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the U.S.
dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these
foreign currency denominated transactions could result in increased
revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international
operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate
fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign
subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a
change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the
foreign subsidiaries' financial statements into U.S. dollars will
lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component
of other comprehensive income. In addition, we have certain assets
and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the
relevant entity's functional currency. Changes in the functional
currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations
that will lead to a transaction gain or loss. We have not entered
into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate
risks, although we may do so in the future. The availability and
effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited and we may
not be able to successfully hedge our exchange rate risks.
Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to
allow the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi into foreign currency
for current account items, conversion of Chinese Renminbi into
foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct
investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of SAFE
which is under the authority of the People's Bank of China. These
approvals, however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign
currency conversion. We cannot be sure that we will be able to
obtain all required conversion approvals for our operations or that
Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions
on the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi in the future. Because a
significant amount of our future revenue may be in the form of
Chinese Renminbi, our inability to obtain the requisite approvals
or any future restrictions on currency exchanges could limit our
ability to utilize revenue generated in Chinese Renminbi to fund
our business activities outside of China, or to repay foreign
currency obligations, including our debt obligations, which would
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
We may have limited legal recourse under PRC laws if disputes arise
under our contracts with third parties.
The Chinese government has enacted laws and regulations dealing
with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign
investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, their experience
in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and
regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial
claims or to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. If our
new business ventures are unsuccessful, or other adverse
circumstances arise from these transactions, we face the risk that
the parties to these ventures may seek ways to terminate the
transactions, or, may hinder or prevent us from accessing important
information regarding the financial and business operations of
these acquired companies. The resolution of these matters may be
subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of
the Chinese government, and forces unrelated to the legal merits of
a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination.
Any rights we may have to specific performance, or to seek an
injunction under PRC law, in either of these cases, are severely
limited, and without a means of recourse by virtue of the Chinese
legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from
occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Because our funds are held in banks in uninsured PRC bank accounts,
the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect
our ability to continue our business.
Funds on deposit at banks and other financial institutions in the
PRC are often uninsured. A significant portion of our assets are in
the form of cash deposited with banks in the PRC, and in the event
of a bank failure, we may not have access to our funds on deposit.
Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that
fails, our inability to have access to our cash could 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 in business.
Our business could be severely harmed if the Chinese government
changes its policies, laws, regulations, tax structure or its
current interpretations of its laws, rules and regulations,
relating to our operations in China.
Our business is located in China and virtually all of our assets
are located in China. We generate our sales revenue only from
customers located in China. Our results of operations, financial
state of affairs and future growth are, to a significant degree,
subject to China's economic, political and legal development and
related uncertainties. Our operations and results could be
materially affected by a number of factors, including, but not
limited to:
•
|
Changes in policies by the Chinese government resulting in changes
in laws or regulations or the interpretation of laws or
regulations,
|
•
|
changes in taxation,
|
•
|
changes in employment restrictions,
|
•
|
import duties, and
|
•
|
currency revaluation.
|
Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued
economic reform policies including the encouragement of private
economic activities and greater economic decentralization. If the
Chinese government does not continue to pursue its present policies
that encourage foreign investment and operations in China, or if
these policies are either not successful or are significantly
altered, then our business could be harmed. Following the Chinese
government's policy of privatizing many state-owned enterprises,
the Chinese government has attempted to augment its revenues
through increased tax collection. It also exercises significant
control over China'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. Continued efforts
to increase tax revenues could result in increased taxation
expenses being incurred by us. Economic development may be limited
as well by the imposition of austerity measures intended to reduce
inflation, the inadequate development of infrastructure and the
potential unavailability of adequate power and water supplies,
transportation and communications. In addition, the Chinese
government continues to play a significant role in regulating
industry by imposing industrial policies.
Failure to comply with the U.S. foreign corrupt practices act and
Chinese anti-corruption laws could subject us to penalties and
other adverse consequences.
Our executive officers, employees and other agents are subject to
anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws including China's
anti-corruption laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or
the FCPA, which generally prohibits United States companies from
engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign
officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In
addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and
fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of
internal accounting controls. Foreign companies, including some
that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions,
and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. The PRC
also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. However,
corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other
fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC.
While we intend to implement measures to ensure compliance with the
FCPA and China's anti-corruption laws by all individuals involved
with our company, our employees or other agents may engage in such
conduct for which we might be held responsible. Since we became a
U.S. public company, we have implemented strict requirements to
preclude payments to government officials and limits on the amount
employees can spend on gifts and entertaining
clients. Although prior to our becoming a U.S public
company we had given culturally traditional gifts to government
officials during Spring Festival and other Chinese traditional
holidays, we believe the amounts of such gifts are below the
amounts that generally trigger criminal liability under PRC law.
The gifts were not made with the intent to bribe or wrongfully
influence any such officials. However, if our
employees or other agents are found to have engaged in practices
that violate either U.S or PRC laws, we could suffer severe
penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, our brand and reputation, our sales
activities or our stock price could be adversely affected if we
become the target of any negative publicity as a result of actions
taken by our employees or other agents.
Changes in foreign exchange regulations in the PRC may affect our
ability to pay dividends in foreign currency or conduct other
foreign exchange business.
The Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency currently, and
the restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use
revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities
outside the PRC or to make dividends or other payments in United
States dollars. The PRC government strictly regulates conversion of
Renminbi into foreign currencies. Over the years, foreign exchange
regulations in the PRC have significantly reduced the government's
control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current
accounts. In the PRC, SAFE regulates the conversion of the Renminbi
into foreign currencies. Pursuant to applicable PRC laws and
regulations, foreign invested enterprises incorporated in the PRC
are required to apply for "Foreign Exchange Registration
Certificates." Currently, conversion within the scope of the
"current account" (e.g. remittance of foreign currencies for
payment of dividends, etc.) can be effected without requiring the
approval of SAFE. However, conversion of currency in the "capital
account" (e.g. for capital items such as direct investments, loans,
securities, etc.) still requires the approval of SAFE.
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner
in which we must conduct our business activities.
China has only recently permitted provincial and local economic
autonomy and private economic activities, and, as a result, we are
dependent on our relationship with the local government in the
province in which we operate our business. 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 our 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.
PRC employment contract law and increases in the labor costs in
China may hurt our business and profitability.
A Chinese employment contract law that became effective on January
1, 2008, imposes more stringent requirements on employers in
relation to entry into fixed-term employment contracts, recruitment
of temporary employees and dismissal of employees. In addition,
under the Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees, which
also became effective on January 1, 2008, employees who have worked
continuously for more than one year are entitled to a paid vacation
ranging from 5 to 15 days, depending on the length of the
employee's service. Employees who waive such vacation entitlements
at the request of the employer will be compensated for three times
their normal daily salaries for each vacation day so waived. As a
result of the new law and regulations, our labor costs may
increase. There is no assurance that disputes, work stoppages or
strikes will not arise in the future.
Increases in the labor costs or future disputes with our employees
could damage our business, financial condition or operating
results. According to PRC labor laws, the employer shall be
responsible to deal with and pay social insurances and housing
funds for all of its employees based on the actual salary of the
employees. In addition, as required by PRC regulations, we
participate in various employee benefit plans that are organized by
municipal and provincial governments, including pension,
work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical and
unemployment benefit plans. We are required under PRC laws to make
contributions to the employee benefit plans at specified
percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of our
employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government
from time to time. Members of the retirement plan are entitled to a
pension equal to a fixed proportion of the salary prevailing at the
member's retirement date. There is no guarantee that we and our
subsidiaries will be able to comply with the relevant requirements.
Failure to comply with the various PRC Labor Laws and regulation
requirements described above could result in liability under PRC
law.
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. These factors have led
to the adoption by the 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 the 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.
We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and
financial controls in the PRC.
We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number
of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result, we may
experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and
financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing
financial statements, books of account and corporate records and
instituting business practices that meet Western standards. We may
have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and
financial controls in the PRC. Please refer to Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures on page 44 for additional information on
this matter.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal
process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions
in China based on United States or other foreign laws, against us
and our management.
We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and
substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition,
some of our directors and executive officers reside within China.
As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process
within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon some of
our directors and senior executive officers, including with respect
to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable
state securities laws. It would also be difficult for investors to
bring an original lawsuit against us or our directors or executive
officers before a Chinese court based on U.S. federal securities
laws or otherwise. Moreover, China does not have treaties with the
United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal
recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.
Because Chinese laws govern almost all of our business' material
agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within the PRC
or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business,
business opportunities or capital.
The Chinese legal system is similar to a civil law system based on
written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in
which decided legal cases have little precedential value. Although
legislation in the PRC over the past 26 years has significantly
improved the protection afforded to various forms of foreign
investment and contractual arrangements in the PRC, these laws,
regulations and legal requirements are relatively new. Due to the
limited volume of published judicial decisions, their non-binding
nature, the short history since their enactments, the discrete
understanding of the judges or government agencies of the same
legal provision, inconsistent professional abilities of the
judicators, and the inclination to protect local interest in the
court room, interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and
regulations involve uncertainties, which could limit the legal
protection available to us, and foreign investors, including you.
The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future
agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business
opportunities or capital and could have a material adverse impact
on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of
operations. 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 some time after the violation. In
addition, any litigation in the PRC, regardless of outcome, may be
protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of
resources and management attention.
Risks Related to Corporate and Stock Matters
Insiders have substantial control over us, and they could delay or
prevent a change in our corporate control even if our other
stockholders wanted it to occur.
On September 19, 2012, we issued a total of 150,350,000 shares of
our common stock at a total consideration of $1,503,500 in the Reg.
S Offering. The investors in this Reg. S Offering except Han Sing
are individuals and regional independent third-party distributors
of the Company. None of these individual distributors held any
shares of the Company prior to the closing of Reg. S Offering or
was issued more than 5% of the shares of the Company in the Reg. S
offering. Han Sing is a Cayman company wholly owned by Mr. Chen
Xinghua. Mr. Chen is a director of the Company and is actively
involved in the Company's daily operation and management. Prior to
the Reg. S. Offering, Han Sing held approximately 245,417 shares of
our Common Stock, representing 4.9% of the shares of issued and
outstand Common Stock before the closing of Reg. S offering on
September 19, 2012. Han Sing purchased 88,450,000 shares of our
Common Stock in the Reg. S Offering, resulting in its holding of
approximately 57.1% of our Common Stock. Through his ownership of
Han Sing, Mr. Chen became a controlling shareholder of the Company.
Accordingly, Mr. Chen is able to control all matters requiring
stockholder approval, including the election of directors and
approval of significant corporate transactions. This could delay or
prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us even if
our other stockers wanted it to occur.
There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our
securities in order for investors to sell their securities.
There is currently only a limited public market for our common
stock and there can be no assurance that a trading market will
develop further or be maintained in the future.
The limited trading volume in our stock may cause volatility in the
market price of our common stock.
Our common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on
the OTCBB and the OTCQB under the symbol
"SAYC". The quotation of our common stock on the OTC
does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading
market currently exists, and in recent years, such market has
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies
like us. Our common stock is thus subject to volatility. In the
absence of an active trading market:
· |
investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining
market quotations; |
· |
market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and |
· |
a lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive
effect on the market for our common stock. |
Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not
be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
Since we became public through a "reverse merger," the newly-issued
common shares issued in connection with the "reverse merger" and
the private placement are restricted shares. As a result, our
common stock will continue to be very thinly traded after the
reverse merger, until a considerable number of such shares are
registered in an effective registration statement or become
sellable under Rule 144 if all of the conditions in Rule 144(i)(2)
are satisfied at the time of the proposed sale. Therefore,
securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide
coverage of our Company since there is little incentive to
brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No
assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct
any secondary offerings on behalf of the Company in the
future.
We may have difficulty raising necessary capital to fund operations
as a result of market price volatility of our shares of common
stock.
If our growth strategies are successful, we may require additional
financing to continue to develop and to expand into new markets.
Our growth, therefore, may be dependent upon our ability to obtain
equity financing through debt and equity or other means. In recent
years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced
a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price
of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations
that have not necessarily been related to the operations,
performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such
companies.
For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected
to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces
over which we will have no control. Such volatility may make it
more difficult to find investors willing to invest in our common
stock, or to negotiate equity financing on terms that are
acceptable to us.

Overview and Recent Developments
We are currently formulating and distributing consumer goods and
acting as a service provider for building of sales platform and
distribution channels in China. We enter into contracts with
factories in China to produce the products with our design,
formula, and standards to satisfy our customer needs and demands,
and distribute those products under our registered brand names. All
our registered brands have obtained nation-wide product
certifications. We monitor the trends of market needs for healthy
products in China and adjust our product portfolio on a yearly
basis. During the past fiscal year, we used general brand "GEN +
ME" for our own product and used various sub brands under "GEN+ME"
for our different product lines. In 2015, our top sale products
include red wine using grape grown in original ecological
environment in Xinjiang province, natural eggs and cured meat. We
sell products under our registered brand name primarily through our
regional independent third-party distributors in the PRC to
customers mainly in Beijing, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian and
Guangdong Provinces. To keep up in such a competitive industry, we
constantly adjust our manufacture and distribution strategies in
China according to current economic conditions, consumer
preference, government policy and social climate in the
marketplace.
In addition to the sales of consumer products, we also grant
regional distribution rights for the use of our trademarks and
provide continuing support services to our distributors.
Observing the potential opportunity of the huge market for online
shopping in China, as a part of our new business strategies, we
established the "Shianyun" online shopping platform based on our
existing internet platform to develop the online-to-offline
commerce, link up the online sales and offline stores and embed our
internal production system and logistics management. The
application of the new platform greatly optimizes our online sales
and delivery system.
Recent Developments—New Business Focus
The Internet of Things, or IoT, emerged as the third wave of
internet development and is gradually merging the physical and
online worlds. The Internet of Things is the network of
physical objects or
"things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors,
and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with the
manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices based on the
infrastructure of International Telecommunication Union's
Global Standards Initiative.
(Source: "Internet of Things Global Standards
Initiative". ITU. Retrieved 26 June 2015. )
The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and
controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure (
Source:
https://hbr.org/resources/pdfs/comm/verizon/18980_HBR_Verizon_IoT_Nov_14.pdf
) creating opportunities for more direct integration between
the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in
improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. (

http://www.internet-of-things-research.eu/pdf/Converging_Technologies_for_Smart_Environments_and_Integrated_Ecosystems_IERC_Book_Open_Access_2013.pdf;http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/trends/iot/introduction_to_IoT_november.pdf; http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/enet/documents/publications/iot-between-the-internet-revolution.pdf;
) Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its
embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the
existing Internet infrastructure. Experts estimate that
the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.(S
ource: Philip N. Howard (8 June 2015). "How big is the
Internet of Things and how big will it get?". The Brookings
Institution. Retrieved 26 June 2015 .)
Seeing the prospect of the Chinese IoT market, since the second
quarter of 2015, we concentrated all our resources on the research
of IoT market and devices. We plan to develop our IoT business
based on the "GEN + ME" chips and the accompanying IoT system. In
the third quarter of 2015, our new IoT system was completed;
it can be connected to the internet, mobile internet and
optical subnetwork, and fall across all areas of peoples' lives,
including food, smart home devices, shopping, entertainment,
travelling, microfinance services, delivery and storages services,
smart communities and even starting own business etc. We also
updated the existing "Shianyun" platform to embed the new IoT
system, which provides the information and logistic management
services to the customers using the "Shianyun" platform.
As of December 31, 2015, the sale of newly introduced IoT system
and "GEN + ME" chips generated revenue of $330,583.
We expect the design of our new IoT system to be continually
developed and rapidly distributed to the communities in 2016. The
sales of "GEN + ME" chips and the accompanying IoT system with the
related supporting services will be our core business in the
future. We believe that our IoT system is the link in an
evolutionary chain that began with the ability to "connect" online,
developing since then to the point where people can use that
connectedness to innovate and do business more efficiently. We
expect that the revenue and market share from IoT
business will be expanding at high growth rates.. As we only just
completed our innovation of our IoT system and at an early stage of
promoting and distributing our new product and technology, we
cannot assure you that this new business model will be successful
and profitable and when we will be able to generate revenue from
this model if any at all.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and related public financial information
are based on the application of accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (
"US GAAP" ). US GAAP requires the use of estimates;
assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting
principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses amounts reported. These estimates can also affect
supplemental information contained in our external disclosures
including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial
condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying
accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and
conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
materially from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made
during the preparation of our financial statements.
We believe the following is among the most critical accounting
policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We
suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in
our consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
The Company generates revenues mainly from sale of consumer
products and also revenue from regional distribution rights.
The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered and
customers take ownership and assume risk of loss, collection of the
relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists and selling price is fixed or
determinable.
Revenues from regional distribution rights include initial fees and
continuing management fee income. All moneys received will be
initially recognized as receipt in advance, and will be recognized
as revenues when the following criteria are met:
(i) Initial admission fee income is generally recorded upon
completion of admission procedures, when the rights to use the
"GEN+ME"
trademarks are granted to the users, and when collectability is
reasonably assured.
(ii) Continuing management fee income represent regular contractual
payments received for our supporting services, which are recognized
as revenue when earned, generally on a straight line basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities issued
new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting
guidance during the period. Management has carefully
considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted
accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or
modified principles will have a material impact on the Company's
reported financial position or operations in the near term.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new
standards had any material effect on these financial statements.
The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of
these financial statements that were considered significant by
management were evaluated for the potential effect on these
consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any
of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on
these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not
anticipate the need for any future restatement of these
consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active
application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to
March 31, 2015 through the date these financial statements were
issued.

(a) |
Sales of consumer products |
Our sales of consumer products consist of sales of red wine,
natural eggs and cured meat , which are all produced by
ecologically breeding methods. After adjusting our
product portfolio in accordance with consumers' preference in 2015
and clearing out of our inventories for new IoT business, the sales
of consumer products amounted to $814,038 during 2015.
Observing the fast growth of the IoT market in China, we have been
focusing on designing "GEN+Me"chip and accompanying IoT
system. We have completed our research on IoT system in the
third quarter of 2015, which have been widely introduced to the
market. We provided supply chain management and solution
services to the customers based on the logistic information
gathering from our "GEN+Me"chips and the newly developed IoT
system, which generated revenue of $330,583 during 2015. We
believed the Iot system, "GEN+Me"chips and "Shianyun" platform
create immense growth potential for our operation.
(b)
Regional distribution rights
Since the third quarter of 2010, the Company has granted regional
distribution rights in the PRC for using "GEN+Me" trademark.
Revenues from regional distribution rights include initial fees and
continuing management fee income. All amounts received are
initially recognized as receipt in advance, and recognized as
revenues when the following criteria are met:
(i) Initial admission fee income is generally recorded upon
completion of admission procedures, when the rights to use the
"GEN+Me"
trademarks are granted to the users, and when collectability is
reasonably assured.
(ii) Continuing management fee income represent regular contractual
payments received for our supporting services, which are recognized
as revenue when earned, generally on a straight line basis.
The continuing supporting services included adverting campaign,
band promotion activities and training services provided to the
distributor for the next three years after distribution rights
granted. The continuing management fee will be recognized on a
yearly basis. During 2015, we did not recruit any new distributor
or provide any supporting services to our existing distributors as
we were experiencing a transitional period to clearing out our
inventories and developing the IoT business.
Cost of sales and services
Cost of sales and services represents cost of consumer products
sold and operation cost incurred for the cost of regional
distribution rights business. The operation cost for services
mainly include the expenses for recruiting new distributors,
maintaining the relations with regional distributors, and research
and development cost for our on-line nationwide platform which
links up the whole custom chain including producer, distributors
and end-users.
Cost of sales mainly represents the cost from subcontractors, which
increased significantly by $ 558,407
or 5,314.6
% from $ 10,507
for the year ended December 31, 2014 to $ 568,914
for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease of cost of sales
and services reflected that we sold the
remaining inventories at cost for the new IoT business
in 2015.
Selling and distribution expenses
Selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
amounted to $22,281 and $85,732, respectively. The substantial
decrease in selling and distribution expenses of $63,451 or 74% is
mainly attributable to less advertising campaigns and product
promotions in 2015 as the emerging of IoT business, which has
changed the traditional marketing strategies.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $645,204 or 44.2%
from $
1,458,277 for the year 2014 to $813,073 for the year ended
December 31, 2015. The reduction of general and administrative
expenses was mainly due to additional cost incurred in 2014, which
represented the travelling expenses and conference fee for group
meeting amounted to approximately $460,000 and disposal loss on
equipment amounting to $41,862. In addition, the new IoT business
also led to a reduction in traditional office expenses.
Recovery of bad debt
During 2015, Beijing Shanghan International Trading Limited repaid
the outstanding receivables of $
2,010,854 , which had previously been provided as a part of
our allowance for bad debts. The amount was reversed from the
allowance of bad debt and recorded as other income.
Income/(loss) before income taxes and provision for income
taxes
The Company recorded a pretax income of $
1,764,735 for the year of 2015, compared to a pretax loss of
$
1,338,555 for the 2014. The substantial change was mainly
attributable to the recovery of bad debts amounted to $
2,010,854 and our new revenue sourcing from the IoT business
during the period.
There was no PRC income tax provision for the year ended December
31, 2015 as substantial amount of taxable income were absorbed by
accumulated losses incurred in previous years. The
Company did not recognize deferred tax assets in 2014 for net
operating loss based on that no sufficient future taxable profits
will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to
be utilized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a total cash and cash
equivalents of $
194,481 compared to $35,324 as of December 31, 2014. The
cash was mainly used to fund our operations. The Company's cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are analyzed
as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we had net cash provided
by operating activities of $
1,723,542 , as compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $
539,792 for the same period in 2014. The change in cash
inflow from operating activities was primarily due to the cash
inflow from the collection of long outstanding balances and
substantial increase in sales revenue during the period.
Our net cash flow used in investing activities for the year ended
December31, 2015 amounted to $
799,875 as compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $
213,455 for year ended December 31, 2014. The net cash used
in investing activities mainly represented purchase of equipment
and machinery amounted to$170,796 and increasing structured
deposits in bank of $629,079. The net cash provided by investing
actives in the year ended December 31, 2014 mainly contributed by
the proceeds from disposal of equipment.
Our cash flows used in financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2015 amounted to $
797,919 , as compared to net cash provided by financing
activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $
163,439 . The cash used in financing activities in 2015
mainly represented the repayment of temporary advances to a
director.
Working Capital
As of December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a working capital
deficit of $2,739,133, compared to a deficit of $4,485,669 as of
December 31, 2014. The increase in working capital was mainly due
to our new profit point of growth from IoT business and the
recovery of bad debts in the year ended December 31, 2015. We are
exploring sources of additional financing, including short-term
financing from our distributors and other parties. In addition, we
are closely monitoring cash balances, cash needs and expense
levels.
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2015, the Company has accumulated deficits of
$3,934,768, a negative working capital of $2,739,133. The
Company may need additional cash resources to operate during the
upcoming 12 months, and the continuation of the Company may be
dependent upon the continuing financial support of investors,
directors and/or stockholders of the Company. However, there is no
assurance that equity or debt offerings will be successful in
raising sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of
the Company. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot
continue in existence.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of December 31,
2015 of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer have concluded that during the period
covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures, due to significant deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting, which in the aggregate,
represented a material weakness, including 1) insufficient
accounting staff which results in a lack of segregation of duties
necessary for an efficient internal control system; and 2)
insufficient documentation with our existing risk assessment and
internal controls, which existed as of December 31, 2015.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or
under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and
principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of
directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
includes those policies and procedures that:
·
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the Company;
|
·
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
Company; and
|
·
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2015. In making this assessment, the Company's
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). The COSO
framework is based upon five integrated components of control:
control environment, risk assessment, control activities,
information and communications and ongoing monitoring.
Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have identified significant deficiencies, what we
believe in the aggregate, represented a material weakness, which is
discussed below. Therefore, our management concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
December 31, 2015. A material weakness is a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In
assessment of effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2015, our management identified a
material weakness over financial reporting consisting of 1)
insufficient accounting staff which results in a lack of
segregation of duties necessary for an efficient internal control
system; and 2) insufficient documentation with our existing risk
assessment and internal controls, existed as of December 31,
2015.
In order to remediate the material weakness discussed above, we
hired additional accounting staff who are familiar with PRC GAAP
and US GAAP in the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with US GAAP, and, once our cash flows from operations
improves to a level where we are able to, we intend to recruit
experienced professionals to augment our financial staff for
sufficient US GAAP, financial reporting, which would improve our
controls and procedures with the regard to financial statements
preparation and improve the knowledge of U.S. accounting standards
for our current accounting staff.
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties
may not always be possible and may not be economically
feasible. However, to the extent possible, we intend to
implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions,
the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be
performed by separate individuals.
We believe that the foregoing steps, if effectively implemented and
maintained, will remediate the material weakness identified above,
and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps
and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there have been no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter
of 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding
beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of April 7, 2016 by (i)
each person (or group of affiliated persons) who is known by us to
own more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of our
Common Stock, (ii) each director, executive officer and director
nominee, and (iii) all of our directors, executive officers and
director nominees as a group. As of April 7, 2016, we had 776,837
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and
generally includes voting or investment power with respect to
securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of
persons is deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of any shares of
common stock that such person has the right to acquire within 60
days of April 7, 2016. For purposes of computing the percentage of
outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group
of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has
the right to acquire within 60 days of April 7, 2016 is deemed to
be outstanding for such person, but is not deemed to be outstanding
for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially
owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial
ownership.
Accordingly, we calculate beneficial ownership for purposes of this
table as follows:
Where:
A = individual's current holders of common stock
B = number of shares of common stock individual may own within 60
days
X= number of common stock currently outstanding
Unless otherwise noted, the principal address of each of the
stockholders, directors and officers listed below is 18/F,
Development Centre Buidling, South of Renmin Rd, LuoHu District,

To: The board of directors and stockholders of
China Shianyun Group Corp., Ltd.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
China Shianyun Group Corp., Ltd. and its
subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2014
and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income, stockholders' 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 audit in accordance with 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 financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes 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.
We were not engaged to examine management's assertion about the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2015 included in the Company's Item 9A
"Controls and Procedures" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and,
accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Company
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.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has a significant accumulated deficits and
negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 include the accounts of the
Company and the Company's subsidiaries (see Note 1). The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States
of America, and all significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency for the
majority of the Company's operations is the Renminbi ("RMB"), while
the reporting currency is the US Dollar.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
(a) |
Economic and Political Risk |
The Company's major operations are conducted in China. Accordingly,
the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well
as the general state of the PRC's economy may influence the
Company's business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
The Company's major operations in the PRC are subject to special
considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks
associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal
environment. The Company's results may be adversely affected by
changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of
taxation, among other things.
(b) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains bank accounts in Hong Kong and China.
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original
invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An
estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full
amount is no longer probable. Allowance for doubtful accounts is
primarily determined by review of specific accounts receivable.
Those accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the
allowance. An additional allowance has been established based on a
percentage of receivables outstanding. These provisions are
reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts. Accounts receivables are charged off when there is
certainty as to their being uncollectible.
Inventories consisting of trading goods, packing and other
materials are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Inventory costs are calculated using a weighted average method of
accounting.
|
(e) |
Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the
statement of income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and
betterments are capitalized. The cost and the related accumulated
depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated
from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement
of income.
According to the law of PRC, the government owns all the land in
the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use
the land only through land use right granted by the PRC government
for 50 to 60 years.
(g) |
Other Intangible Assets with Definite Lives |
Other long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives,
including cost of setting up information systems, are tested for
recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying
amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the
sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount is
deemed to not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded as the
amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds
its fair value.
(h) |
Depreciation and Amortization |
The Company provides for depreciation of plant and equipment
principally by use of the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes.
Amortization of definite lived intangible assets is recorded on a
straight-line basis over their estimated lives.
(i)
Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is
reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a
result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of
recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the
carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows
to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount
by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value
of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower
of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
(j)
Income
Tax
Income taxes are based on pre-tax financial accounting income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company
periodically assesses the need to establish valuation allowances
against its deferred tax assets to the extent the Company no longer
believes it is more likely than not that the tax assets will be
fully utilized.
The Company evaluates a tax position to determine whether it is
more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon
examination, based upon the technical merits of the position. A tax
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold
is subject to a measurement assessment to determine the amount of
benefit to recognize and the appropriate reserve to establish, if
any. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold, no benefit is recognized
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of PRC,
the applicable corporation income tax rate was 25% for the years
ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At times generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Company to recognize
certain income and expenses that do not conform to the timing and
conditions allowed by the PRC.
(k)
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other
receivables, amount due from/(to) directors, receipt in advance,
debts, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, and
taxes payable.
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the
Company, using available market information or other appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required
in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value.
Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the
amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market
exchange.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the
financial instruments were not materially different from their
carrying values as presented, due to the short maturities of these
instruments and the fact that the interest rates on the borrowings
approximate those that would have been available for loans of
similar remaining maturity and risk profiles at respective year
ends.
(l)
Revenue
Recognition
The Company generates revenues mainly from sale of consumer
products and also revenue from regional distribution rights.
The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered and
customers take ownership and assume risk of loss, collection of the
relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists and selling price is fixed or
determinable.
Revenues from regional distribution rights include brand usage fee
and continuing management fee income. All amounts received will be
initially recognized as receipt in advance, and will be recognized
as revenues when the following criteria are met:
|
(i) |
Initial admission fee income is generally recorded upon completion
of admission procedures, when the rights to use the "GEN+Me"
trademarks are granted to the users, and when collectability is
reasonably assured. |
|
(ii) |
Continuing management fee income represent regular contractual
payments received for our supporting services, which are recognized
as revenue when earned, generally on a straight line basis. |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available
to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the
denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common
shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no dilutive
securities outstanding.
(n)
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
(o)
Retirement
Benefits
The country of PRC mandates companies to contribute funds into the
national retirement system, which benefits qualified employees
based on where they were born within the country. The Company pays
the required payment for qualified employees of the Company as a
payroll tax expense. Very few employees in the Company fall under
the mandatory conditions requiring the Company to pay as a payroll
tax expense into the retirement system of the PRC.
The Company's PRC subsidiaries are required to make appropriations
to staff welfare fund, based on after-tax net income determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the
People's Republic of China (the "PRC GAAP"). Appropriations to the
staff welfare fund are made at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. The staff welfare fund is established for the purpose of
providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the
employees and is non-distributable other than in liquidation.
The Company provides no other retirement benefits to its
employees.
(p)
Comprehensive
Income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity
except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions
to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to
be recognized under current accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial
statement that is presented with the same prominence as other
financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and
the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.
(q)
Foreign
Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in
United States Dollars (US$). The functional currency of the Company
is the Renminbi (RMB). Capital accounts of the consolidated
financial statements are translated into United States dollars from
RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital
transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures
are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The
translation rates are as follows:
|
|
2015
|
|
|
2014
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Year end RMB : US$ exchange rate

|
On July 21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange
policy from a fixed RMB/US$ exchange rate into a flexible rate
under the control of the PRC's government.
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all
foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized
institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could
have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in
translation.
(r)
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities issued
new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting
guidance during the period. Management has carefully considered the
new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting
principles and does not believe that any other new or modified
principles will have a material impact on the Company's reported
financial position or operations in the near term.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new
standards had any material effect on these financial statements.
The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of
these financial statements that were considered significant by
management were evaluated for the potential effect on these
consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any
of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on
these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not
anticipate the need for any future restatement of these
consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active
application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to
March 31, 2015 through the date these financial statements were
issued.

Beijing Shanghan was a related party at initial recognition because
one of its director held more than 5% of shares of issued and
outstanding Common Stock during 2008 and 2009. However, during the
year ended 31 December 2012, such shareholder's holding was
decreased to less than 5%. As a result, we no longer consider
Beijing Shanghan as a related party for the period ended September
30, 2015. The Company collected certain outstanding receivables
amounting to $2,010,854 from Beijing Shanghan and recognized as a
recovery of bad debts in other income during 2015.

NOTE 17 – GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 2015, the Company has accumulated deficits of $
3,934,768 , a negative working capital of $
2,739,133 . The Company may need additional cash resources
to operate during the upcoming 12 months, and the continuation of
the Company may be dependent upon the continuing financial support
of investors, directors and/or stockholders of the Company.
However, there is no assurance that equity or debt offerings will
be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure the eventual
profitability of the Company. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event
the Company cannot continue in existence.
