A.
Corporate Income
Taxes
(“CIT”)
 
Prior to
January 1, 2018,
Han Feng, TT, MFD, Kirnsway, Chinesetg, NSF and BB had elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be S corporations. R&N Holdings, R&N Lexington and HG realty were formed as limited liability companies taxed as partnerships. An S corporation or partnership is considered a flow-through entity and is generally
not
subject to federal or state income tax at the entity level. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders and members of these entities are taxed on their proportionate share of the entities’ taxable income. Kirnland did
not
elect to be treated as an S corporation and was the only entity that is subject to corporate income taxes under this report.
 
Effective
January 1, 2018,
all of the above-listed S corporation and partnership entities were converted to C corporations and will be taxed at the entity level going forward. Accordingly, the Company shall account for income taxes of all these entities under ASC
740.
The Company has recognized the impact on deferred income tax assets and liabilities from the conversion of the above-mentioned S corporations and partnership entities to C corporations in the consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2018.
 
On
December 22, 2017,
the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Act lowered the Company’s U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from
35%
to
21%
effective
January 1, 2018,
while also imposing a deemed repatriation tax on deferred foreign income. The Act also created a new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings. The Company expects the new federal income tax rate will significantly lower the Company’s income tax expenses going forward. The Company does
not
expect the repatriation tax and new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings to have any impact on the Company’s operations since it currently has
no
foreign income and does
not
expect to generate any foreign income in the future.
