Due to new investors related to terminated security purchase agreements
 
In
May 2015,
the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with Beijing Jinrun Fangzhou Science & Technology Co, Ltd. (“Jinrun Fangzhou”) and Dongsys Innovation (Beijing) Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Dongsys Innovation”), public companies listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations of the PRC (the “NEEQ”), respectively, pursuant to which these companies agreed to purchase a certain number of shares of common stock of the Company. The Company had received the
10%
guarantee payment and
15%
prepayment in an aggregate amount equal to
US$806,000
from Jinrun Fangzhou, and the
10%
guarantee payment in an amount equal to
US$117,000
from Dongsys Innovation, respectively.
 
Due to certain restriction stipulated in the “Measures for Overseas Investment Management” issued by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (the “MOFCOM”), the Company and its investors experienced difficulties in obtaining approval for the transactions from the MOFCOM. As a result, on
May 12, 2016,
the Company terminated the security purchase agreements with the
two
investors, respectively. The Company did
not
make any repayment to these investors afterwards during
2016
and the
first
nine
months of
2017.
As agreed by the parties, beginning on
January 1, 2017,
the Company will bear a
12%
annualized interest rate for the unpaid amounts and the amounts shall be refunded to the investors
no
later than
December 31, 2017.
The Company expects to settle the balances with the
two
investors within
2017.
Interest expense for the unpaid amounts accrued for the
nine
and
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
was approximately
US$0.08
million and
US$0.03
million, which has been recorded in other payables account.
