Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2015
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization, Nature of Business and Trade Name
HK Battery Technology Inc., a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 16, 2004 as Nano Holdings International, Inc., and subsequently changed its name to Nevada Gold Holdings, Inc. Nevada Gold Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 2, 2008. On December 31, 2008, Nevada Gold Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nevada Gold Holdings, Inc., merged with and into Nevada Gold Enterprises, Inc. Nevada Gold Enterprises, Inc. was the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result of the Merger, Nevada Gold Enterprises, Inc., became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nevada Gold Holdings, Inc. The Merger was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization for financial accounting purposes. As a result of the Merger, the Company recorded an aggregate stock issuance of 2,626,263 shares of common stock, with a net value of $(180,978). The negative recapitalization net value recognized was the result of the Company restating the equity structure of the legal subsidiary using the exchange ratio established in the definitive Merger agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent issued in the Merger. Nevada Gold Enterprises, Inc. was considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and Nevada Gold Holdings, Inc. was considered the surviving company for legal purposes. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present the historical financial statements of Nevada Gold Enterprises, Inc., as the historical financial statements of Nevada Gold Holdings, Inc., i.e. a reverse merger. The Company was previously engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold mining claims in Nevada. In February 2013, the Company withdrew from the gold exploration business to explore opportunities in the battery technology field. On August 7, 2013, the Company was approved to change its name to HK Battery Technology Inc. As of November 23, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Gold Enterprises, Inc., was dissolved.
On June 21, 2015, we formed HK Battery Technology LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary, managed by Jianguo Xu, and HK System Integration LLC, a Nevada limited liability and our wholly-owned subsidiary, managed by Junwen Hou. As of December 31, 2015, neither these subsidiaries conducted any business, had any income or expenses nor had any bank accounts.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. A change in managements estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HK Battery Technology LLC and HK System Integration LLC. The wholly-owned subsidiaries have not conducted any business, have not had an income nor incurred any expenses, and do not have any employees or bank accounts.
Cash
Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company's cash is held with local and national banking institutions and subjected to current insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) of $250,000 per banking institution. As of December 31, 2015, the Company bank balances in these bank accounts exceeded the insured amount by $38,906,512. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this concentration of risk
.
There are no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015.
F-9
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. We calculated the loss per share as $0.11 as of December 31, 2015. No Diluted earnings per share have been calculated for the reported period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information previously required by Topic 915.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their perspective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
As a result of the implementation of certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax position, as defined, ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspect of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of October 2, 2008, and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and Delaware as our major tax jurisdictions and generally, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service examination of our 2007 through 2014 U.S. federal income tax returns. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes. We have no interest or penalties as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company sustained operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and incurred negative cash flows of $7,481,662 from operations in 2015. The companys continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtain additional financing, as may be required.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to do so. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
During the next year, the Companys foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with research and development. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
F-10
Through future public or private offerings of the Companys stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Companys failure to do so could have a material adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.
