SORL Auto Parts, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SORL Auto Parts, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” or “SORL”), a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 24, 1982, is principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of vehicle brake systems and other key safety-related components, through its 90% ownership of Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (the “Joint Venture” or “Ruian”). The Company distributes products both in China and internationally under SORL trademarks. The Company’s product range includes 140 categories and over 2,000 different specifications.
The Joint Venture was formed in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) as a Sino-Foreign joint venture on January 17, 2004, pursuant to the terms of a Joint Venture Agreement between the Ruili Group Co., Ltd. (the “Ruili Group”), a related party under common control, and Fairford Holdings Limited (“Fairford”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Ruili Group was incorporated in China in 1987 and specializes in the development, production and sale of various kinds of automotive parts. Fairford and the Ruili Group contributed 90% and 10%, respectively, of the paid-in capital of the Joint Venture.
On November 11, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairford, entered into a joint venture agreement with MGR Hong Kong Limited (“MGR”), a Hong Kong-based global auto parts distribution specialist firm and an unaffiliated Taiwanese individual investor. The joint venture was named SORL International Holding, Ltd. (“SIH”) based in Hong Kong. SORL held a 60% interest in the joint venture, MGR held a 30% interest, and the Taiwanese individual investor held a 10% interest. SIH was primarily devoted to expanding SORL's international sales network in Asia-Pacific and creating a larger footprint in Europe and Africa with a target to create a truly global distribution network. In December 2015, due to poor financial performance of SIH, Fairfold sold all of its interest in SIH to the Taiwanese investor. After this transaction, SIH ceased to be a distributor of SORL in the international market.

NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| (1) | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the consolidated audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and other reports filed with the SEC.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.
| (2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| a. | ACCOUNTING METHOD |
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting for financial statement and tax return purposes.
| b. | USE OF ESTIMATES |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 periods. Management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 8 |
| c. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, bank acceptance notes from customers, inventories, current prepayments, other current assets, accounts payable and bank acceptance notes to vendors, short term bank loans, deposits received from customers, current portion of long term loans, deferred income, income tax payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature.
| d. | RESTRICTED CASH |
Restricted cash consists of bank deposits used to pledge bank acceptance notes and short term bank loans, deposits for obtaining letters of credit from a local bank and bank deposits used as down payment secured on behalf of a related party for potential acquisition.
The Company entered into credit agreements with commercial banks in China (“endorsing banks”) which agree to provide credit within stipulated limits. Within the stipulated credit limits, the Company can issue bank acceptance notes to its suppliers as payments for the purchases. In order to issue bank acceptance notes, the Company is generally required to make initial deposits or pledge notes receivable to the endorsing banks in amounts of certain percentage of the face amount of the bank acceptance notes to be issued by the Company.

| e. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.
| f. | BANK ACCEPTANCE NOTES RECEIVABLE |
Bank acceptance notes receivable, generally due within six months and with specific payment terms and definitive due dates, are comprised of the notes issued by some customers to pay certain outstanding receivable balances to the Company, and the notes issued by the customers of related parties and transferred to the Company as loans from related parties or repayments from related parties. Bank acceptance notes do not bear interest. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, bank acceptance notes receivable in the amount of $95,528,975 and $95,914,724, respectively, were pledged to banks to issue either short term bank loans or bank acceptance notes to vendors. The banks charge discount fees if the Company chooses to discount the bank acceptance notes for cash before the maturity of the notes and such discount fees are included in interest expenses in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss).
| g. | REVENUE RECOGNITION |
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) effective as of January 1, 2018. The Company has chosen to use the full retrospective transition method, under which it is required to revise its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as well as any applicable interim periods within the year ended December 31, 2017, as if ASC 606 had been effective for those periods. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. See Note C for assessment on the impact of adopting ASC 606, and Note M for details on revenues from contracts with customers.
| 10 |
| h. | FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION |
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in RMB, the currency of the PRC. The Company’s functional currency is also RMB. The Company has adopted FASB ASC 830-30 in translating financial statement amounts from RMB to the Company’s reporting currency, United States dollars (“US$”). All assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate. The stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the appropriate historical rate. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted average rates in effect on the transaction dates.
Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
NOTE C – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606. ASC 606 outlines a single set of comprehensive principles for recognizing revenue under U.S. GAAP and supersedes the revenue recognition guidance existed at the time. The main principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the ASC and its related updates on a full retrospective basis as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. See Note M for additional information.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. These amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption, net cash used in investing activities was adjusted to exclude the change in restricted cash, resulting in an increase of $5,198,792 in net cash used in investing activities in the amount previously reported for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Restricted cash was included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements”, which affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. These amendments represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification, eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications in current guidance. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance. However, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2018-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”. These amendments affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02 including those regarding residual value guarantees, rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase option, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, investment tax credits, lease term and purchase option, transition guidance for amounts previously recognized in business combinations, certain transition adjustments, transition guidance for leases previously classified as capital leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for modifications to leases previously classified as direct financing or sales-type leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for sale and leaseback transactions, impairment of net investment in the lease, unguaranteed residual asset, effect of initial direct costs on rate implicit in the lease, and failed sale and leaseback transactions. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of ASU 2018-10, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2018-10 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is not yet effective. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments also provide lessors with a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component in certain circumstances. For the entities that have not adopted Topic 842,the effective date for this ASU are the same as those for ASU 2016-02, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2018-11 on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE D – RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings or financial position.

NOTE M – REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company accounted for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which was adopted on January 1, 2018, using full retrospective method. The adoption of the standard did not impact the Company’s revenue recognition.
The Company provides a variety of standard products to its customers. The Company’s contracts with its customers consist of a single, distinct performance obligation or promise to transfer auto parts to the customers. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. All sales are recorded net of value-added taxes. The Company does not recognize revenue related to product warranties. See Note P for details concerning the expected costs associated with the Company’s assurance warranty obligations.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by product type. See Note Q for information regarding revenue disaggregation by product type.
Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized at a point in time when the merchandises are delivered to the customer in accordance with the shipping terms stated in the contracts, which is the point when the legal title, physical possession and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customers.
Deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring goods to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a deferred revenue liability of $62,481,147 and $43,087,473, respectively, which was presented as “Deposits received from customers” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $14,254,794 and $6,617,003, respectively, of deferred revenue included in the opening balances of deposits received from customers. The amounts were included in sales on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss).
| 19 |
NOTE N - INCOME TAXES
In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected the Company, including, among others, a reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and a recognition of the U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company upon enactment of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the 2017 Tax Act in the period of enactment. In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), Income Tax Accounting Implications of the 2017 Tax Act, which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the 2017 Tax Act, however, as of the filing date, the Company was unable to determine a reasonable provision of the tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act. Therefore, no provisional amounts have been recorded on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 in accordance with SAB 118.
The Joint Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws.
In 2015, the Joint Venture was awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise" designation for a third time, which is valid for three years and it continues to be taxed at the 15% tax rate in 2015, 2016 and 2017. As the “High-Tech Enterprise” designation expired in 2018, the Joint Venture is undergoing the re-assessment by the government and the Company estimates it is highly probable that the designation will be awarded and therefore the 15% tax rate is used for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate of the Company to the statutory income tax rate in the PRC for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 | |||||||
| US statutory income tax rate | 21.00 | % | 35.00 | % | ||||
| Valuation allowance recognized with respect to the loss in the US company | -21.00 | % | -35.00 | % | ||||
| China statutory income tax rate | 25.00 | % | 25.00 | % | ||||
| Effects of income tax exemptions and reliefs | -10.00 | % | -10.0 | % | ||||
| Effects of additional deduction allowed for R&D expenses | -3.43 | % | -3.16 | % | ||||
| Effects of expenses not deductible for tax purposes | 2.18 | % | 0.51 | % | ||||
| Other items | 0.81 | % | 0.37 | % | ||||
| Effective tax rate | 14.56 | % | 12.72 | % | ||||
| 20 |
Income taxes are calculated on a separate entity basis. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no penalties and interest, which generally are recorded in the general and administrative expenses or in the tax expenses. The provisions for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are summarized as follows:
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 | |||||||
| Current | $ | 2,201,850 | $ | 2,610,023 | ||||

Income Tax
In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected the Company, including, among others, a reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and a recognition of the U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company upon enactment of the 2017 Act. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the 2017 Tax Act in the period of enactment. In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), Income Tax Accounting Implications of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. The Company is proactively evaluating the impact of the Tax Act, however, as of the filing date, the Company was unable to determine a reasonable provision of the tax effects of the Tax Act. Therefore, no provisional amounts have been recorded on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 in accordance with SAB 118.
| 29 |
The Joint Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws.
In 2015, the Joint Venture was awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise" designation for a third time, which is valid for three years and it continues to be taxed at the 15% tax rate in 2015, 2016 and 2017. As the “High-Tech Enterprise” designation expired in 2018, the Joint Venture is undergoing the re-assessment by the government and the Company estimates it is highly probable that the designation will be awarded and therefore the 15% tax rate is used for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Income tax expense was $2.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $2.6 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest in Subsidiaries
Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries represents a 10% non-controlling interest in Ruian and 40% non-controlling interest in SIH, in each case held by our joint venture partners. On December 15, 2015, the Company disposed of its entire 60% equity interest in SIH. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries amounted to $0.7 million for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries amounted to $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Net Income Attributable to Stockholders
The net income attributable to stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018, increased by $0.8 million, to $6.7 million from $5.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 due to the factors discussed above. The net income attributable to stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2018, increased by $2.2 million, to $15.0 million from $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share (“EPS”), both basic and diluted, for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, were $0.35 and $0.31, respectively. EPS, both basic and diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, were $0.78 and $0.67, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $76.4 million, as compared to cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $4.6 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company had working capital of $87.4 million at June 30, 2018, as compared to working capital of $111.4 million at December 31, 2017, reflecting current ratios of 1.2:1 and 1.3:1, respectively.
OPERATING - Net cash provided in operating activities was $66.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2018. For the same period in 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $3.2 million. Such change was primarily due to the increased cash inflow resulted by changes in accounts payable and bank acceptance notes to vendors.
INVESTING - During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company used net cash of $1.8 million in investing activities mainly for advances to related parties. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used net cash of $29.6 million in investing activities.
FINANCING - During the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the cash provided by financing activities was $9.8 million. Cash provided in financing activities was $27.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Such decrease was primarily due to the repayments to related parties and repayments of long term loans.
The Company has taken a number of steps to improve the management of our cash flow. We place more emphasis on collection of accounts receivable from our customers, and we maintain good relationships with local banks. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow generated from operations and our bank lines of credit will be sufficient to finance our working capital requirements in the foreseeable future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
According to the laws of China, the government owns all the land in China. Companies and individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. In 2007, the Company purchased the land use rights from the Ruili Group, a related party. The Company also purchased the buildings on the land in the same transaction. The purchase price of land use right and building amounted to approximately $20 million. On May 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Ruili Group through Ruian, pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange the Dongshan Facility plus RMB501 million (approximately $76.5 million) in cash for Development Zone Facility. The value of the Dongshan Facility and Development Zone Facility was appraised to be RMB 125 million (approximately $19.1 million) and RMB 626 million (approximately $95.6 million), respectively. As of June 30, 2018, total amount of RMB481 million (approximately $73.5 million) was paid to the Ruili Group in installments, and the remaining RMB20 million (approximately $3.0 million) will be paid within 10 days of completion of the required procedures for transferring the title of the facilities and the land use right as specified in the Purchase Agreement.
| 31 |
Even if the Company is unable to timely resolve obtain the land use right certificate for the land and related building, the Company believes that there will be no potential adverse implication on the Company for the following reasons.
1. The Company acquired the land use rights in a transaction between the Company and the Ruili Group, a related party. The Ruili Group, as the original land use right owner, has granted the land use right to the Company by contract which is supported by valid consideration.
2. No third party would oppose the Company’s use of the land, because no third party has any interest in the land use right or property ownership right, other than the Ruili Group and the government.
a) The Ruili Group promised that the Company has the right to use the land and related building, even before the land use certificate is transferred.
b) According to the laws of China, the government owns all the land and the buildings attached to the land in China. Once the land use right is granted to Ruili Group, Ruili Group has the right to assign its land use rights to any third parties, including the Company, without interference from the government. Therefore, it is unlikely that the government will oppose the Company’s right to use the land and related building.
c) The Company has reserved tax payables in the amount of RMB 19,007,341 (approximately US$2,872.675) on its consolidated balance sheets under the line item “accrued expenses” as if no reduction or exemption of tax is approved. This amount was determined based on a 3% tax rate on the consideration paid for the land use right in the transaction, which the Company considered as the most probable amount of tax liability. This amount also represented the maximum amount of tax the Company expects to pay if the negotiation with the local government ultimately is not successful.

| DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS SORL Auto Parts, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” or “SORL”), a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 24, 1982, is principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of vehicle brake systems and other key safety-related components, through its 90% ownership of Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (the “Joint Venture” or “Ruian”). The Company distributes products both in China and internationally under SORL trademarks. The Company’s product range includes 140 categories and over 2,000 different specifications. The Joint Venture was formed in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) as a Sino-Foreign joint venture on January 17, 2004, pursuant to the terms of a Joint Venture Agreement between the Ruili Group Co., Ltd. (the “Ruili Group”), a related party under common control, and Fairford Holdings Limited (“Fairford”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Ruili Group was incorporated in China in 1987 and specializes in the development, production and sale of various kinds of automotive parts. Fairford and the Ruili Group contributed 90% and 10%, respectively, of the paid-in capital of the Joint Venture. On November 11, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairford, entered into a joint venture agreement with MGR Hong Kong Limited (“MGR”), a Hong Kong-based global auto parts distribution specialist firm and an unaffiliated Taiwanese individual investor. The joint venture was named SORL International Holding, Ltd. (“SIH”) based in Hong Kong. SORL held a 60% interest in the joint venture, MGR held a 30% interest, and the Taiwanese individual investor held a 10% interest. SIH was primarily devoted to expanding SORL's international sales network in Asia-Pacific and creating a larger footprint in Europe and Africa with a target to create a truly global distribution network. In December 2015, due to poor financial performance of SIH, Fairfold sold all of its interest in SIH to the Taiwanese investor. After this transaction, SIH ceased to be a distributor of SORL in the international market. |

| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the consolidated audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and other reports filed with the SEC. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting for financial statement and tax return purposes.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 periods. Management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, bank acceptance notes from customers, inventories, current prepayments, other current assets, accounts payable and bank acceptance notes to vendors, short term bank loans, deposits received from customers, current portion of long term loans, deferred income, income tax payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short maturities. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature.
Restricted cash consists of bank deposits used to pledge bank acceptance notes and short term bank loans, deposits for obtaining letters of credit from a local bank and bank deposits used as down payment secured on behalf of a related party for potential acquisition. The Company entered into credit agreements with commercial banks in China (“endorsing banks”) which agree to provide credit within stipulated limits. Within the stipulated credit limits, the Company can issue bank acceptance notes to its suppliers as payments for the purchases. In order to issue bank acceptance notes, the Company is generally required to make initial deposits or pledge notes receivable to the endorsing banks in amounts of certain percentage of the face amount of the bank acceptance notes to be issued by the Company. The cash in such accounts is restricted for use over the terms of the bank acceptance notes, which are normally three to six months. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, restricted cash of $36,766,952 and $0, respectively, was used to pledge the bank acceptance notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company obtained a short term bank loan in the amount of $ 2,824,538 from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which required a pledge with bank deposits of $2,872,412. As of June 30, 2018, the bank deposits remained as the pledge for the loan. Also see Note K for details. The Company also obtained letters of credit from Industrial Bank Co., Ltd . and China Zheshang Bank, which agreed to provide guarantee that the Company would make timely payment to its suppliers for any purchases. Deposits of $3,899,284 and $275,474, respectively, were required for this purpose as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a bank deposit of $5,297,090 (RMB 35,048,725), representing an advance to Ruili Group. The Company also had a bank deposit of $3,022,700 (RMB 20,000,000) as a security deposit of loans obtained by Wenzhou Lichuang Automobile Parts Co., Ltd., a related party, from China Merchant Bank. Also see Note E for details.
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.
Bank acceptance notes receivable, generally due within six months and with specific payment terms and definitive due dates, are comprised of the notes issued by some customers to pay certain outstanding receivable balances to the Company, and the notes issued by the customers of related parties and transferred to the Company as loans from related parties or repayments from related parties. Bank acceptance notes do not bear interest. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, bank acceptance notes receivable in the amount of $ 95,528,975 and $95,914,724, respectively, were pledged to banks to issue either short term bank loans or bank acceptance notes to vendors. The banks charge discount fees if the Company chooses to discount the bank acceptance notes for cash before the maturity of the notes and such discount fees are included in interest expenses in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss).
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) effective as of January 1, 2018. The Company has chosen to use the full retrospective transition method, under which it is required to revise its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as well as any applicable interim periods within the year ended December 31, 2017, as if ASC 606 had been effective for those periods. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. See Note C for assessment on the impact of adopting ASC 606, and Note M for details on revenues from contracts with customers.
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in RMB, the currency of the PRC. The Company’s functional currency is also RMB. The Company has adopted FASB ASC 830-30 in translating financial statement amounts from RMB to the Company’s reporting currency, United States dollars (“US$”). All assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate. The stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the appropriate historical rate. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted average rates in effect on the transaction dates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. |

| Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | ||
| RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | NOTE C – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606. ASC 606 outlines a single set of comprehensive principles for recognizing revenue under U.S. GAAP and supersedes the revenue recognition guidance existed at the time. The main principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the ASC and its related updates on a full retrospective basis as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC 606 did not impact the previously reported financial statements in any prior period nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. See Note M for additional information. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. These amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption, net cash used in investing activities was adjusted to exclude the change in restricted cash, resulting in an increase of $5,198,792 in net cash used in investing activities in the amount previously reported for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Restricted cash was included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements”, which affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. These amendments represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification, eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications in current guidance. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance. However, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2018-09 on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”. These amendments affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02 including those regarding residual value guarantees, rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase option, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, investment tax credits, lease term and purchase option, transition guidance for amounts previously recognized in business combinations, certain transition adjustments, transition guidance for leases previously classified as capital leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for modifications to leases previously classified as direct financing or sales-type leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for sale and leaseback transactions, impairment of net investment in the lease, unguaranteed residual asset, effect of initial direct costs on rate implicit in the lease, and failed sale and leaseback transactions. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of ASU 2018-10, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2018-10 on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is not yet effective. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments also provide lessors with a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component in certain circumstances. For the entities that have not adopted Topic 842,the effective date for this ASU are the same as those for ASU 2016-02, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2018-11 on its consolidated financial statements. |

| REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS | NOTE M – REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The Company accounted for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which was adopted on January 1, 2018, using full retrospective method. The adoption of the standard did not impact the Company’s revenue recognition. The Company provides a variety of standard products to its customers. The Company’s contracts with its customers consist of a single, distinct performance obligation or promise to transfer auto parts to the customers. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when the customers take possession of the products, which normally occurs at the shipping point or destination depending on the terms of the contracts. All sales are recorded net of value-added taxes. The Company does not recognize revenue related to product warranties. See Note P for details concerning the expected costs associated with the Company’s assurance warranty obligations. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by product type. See Note Q for information regarding revenue disaggregation by product type. Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized at a point in time when the merchandises are delivered to the customer in accordance with the shipping terms stated in the contracts, which is the point when the legal title, physical possession and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customers. Deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring goods to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a deferred revenue liability of $62,481,147 and $43,087,473, respectively, which was presented as “Deposits received from customers” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

| INCOME TAXES | NOTE N - INCOME TAXES In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected the Company, including, among others, a reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and a recognition of the U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company upon enactment of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the 2017 Tax Act in the period of enactment. In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), Income Tax Accounting Implications of the 2017 Tax Act, which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the 2017 Tax Act, however, as of the filing date, the Company was unable to determine a reasonable provision of the tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act. Therefore, no provisional amounts have been recorded on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 in accordance with SAB 118. The Joint Venture is registered in the PRC, and is therefore subject to state and local income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on the taxable income as reported in the PRC statutory financial statements in accordance with relevant income tax laws. In 2015, the Joint Venture was awarded the Chinese government's "High-Tech Enterprise" designation for a third time, which is valid for three years and it continues to be taxed at the 15% tax rate in 2015, 2016 and 2017. As the “High-Tech Enterprise” designation expired in 2018, the Joint Venture is undergoing the re-assessment by the government and the Company estimates it is highly probable that the designation will be awarded and therefore the 15% tax rate is used for the six months ended June 30, 2018.The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate of the Company to the statutory income tax rate in the PRC for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:
Income taxes are calculated on a separate entity basis. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no penalties and interest, which generally are recorded in the general and administrative expenses or in the tax expenses. The provisions for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are summarized as follows:

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||
| ACCOUNTING METHOD |
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting for financial statement and tax return purposes. |
||||
| USE OF ESTIMATES |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 periods. Management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
||||
| FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, bank acceptance notes from customers, inventories, current prepayments, other current assets, accounts payable and bank acceptance notes to vendors, short term bank loans, deposits received from customers, current portion of long term loans, deferred income, income tax payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short maturities. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature. |
||||
| RESTRICTED CASH |
Restricted cash consists of bank deposits used to pledge bank acceptance notes and short term bank loans, deposits for obtaining letters of credit from a local bank and bank deposits used as down payment secured on behalf of a related party for potential acquisition. The Company entered into credit agreements with commercial banks in China (“endorsing banks”) which agree to provide credit within stipulated limits. Within the stipulated credit limits, the Company can issue bank acceptance notes to its suppliers as payments for the purchases. In order to issue bank acceptance notes, the Company is generally required to make initial deposits or pledge notes receivable to the endorsing banks in amounts of certain percentage of the face amount of the bank acceptance notes to be issued by the Company. The cash in such accounts is restricted for use over the terms of the bank acceptance notes, which are normally three to six months. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, restricted cash of $36,766,952 and $0, respectively, was used to pledge the bank acceptance notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company obtained a short term bank loan in the amount of $ 2,824,538 from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which required a pledge with bank deposits of $2,872,412.

The Company also obtained letters of credit from Industrial Bank Co., Ltd . and China Zheshang Bank, which agreed to provide guarantee that the Company would make timely payment to its suppliers for any purchases. Deposits of $3,899,284 and $275,474, respectively, were required for this purpose as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a bank deposit of $5,297,090 (RMB 35,048,725), representing an advance to Ruili Group. The Company also had a bank deposit of $3,022,700 (RMB 20,000,000) as a security deposit of loans obtained by Wenzhou Lichuang Automobile Parts Co., Ltd., a related party, from China Merchant Bank. Also see Note E for details. |

| RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business. |
||||
| BANK ACCEPTANCE NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM CUSTOMERS |
Bank acceptance notes receivable, generally due within six months and with specific payment terms and definitive due dates, are comprised of the notes issued by some customers to pay certain outstanding receivable balances to the Company, and the notes issued by the customers of related parties and transferred to the Company as loans from related parties or repayments from related parties. Bank acceptance notes do not bear interest. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, bank acceptance notes receivable in the amount of $ 95,528,975 and $95,914,724, respectively, were pledged to banks to issue either short term bank loans or bank acceptance notes to vendors.

The Company has chosen to use the full retrospective transition method, under which it is required to revise its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as well as any applicable interim periods within the year ended December 31, 2017, as if ASC 606 had been effective for those periods. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods it transfers to the customer. See Note C for assessment on the impact of adopting ASC 606, and Note M for details on revenues from contracts with customers. |

| FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION |
The Company maintains its books and accounting records in RMB, the currency of the PRC. The Company’s functional currency is also RMB. The Company has adopted FASB ASC 830-30 in translating financial statement amounts from RMB to the Company’s reporting currency, United States dollars (“US$”). All assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate. The stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the appropriate historical rate. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted average rates in effect on the transaction dates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. |
