NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunwin and all our wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented. Certain financial statement amounts relating to prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended April 30, 2021 included in our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for future periods or the full fiscal year.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2021 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2021, but do not include all disclosures required by the U.S. GAAP.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunwin and all our wholly-owned subsidiaries included in continuing operations and discontinued operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Qufu Shengwang is the subsidiary with discontinued operations and our subsidiaries for continuing operations include the following:

 

-     Qufu Natural Green;

-     Qufu Shengren;

-     Sunwin USA; and

-     Qufu Shengren Import and Export

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, and the value of stock-based compensation.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and equivalents. As of July 31, 2021, we held $489,079 of our cash and cash equivalents with commercial banking institutions in the PRC, and $181,353 with banks in the United States. As of April 30, 2021, we held $1,403,969 of our cash and cash equivalents with commercial banking institution in PRC, and $161,860 in the United States. PRC banks protect consumers against loss if their bank or thrift institution fails, and each of our PRC bank account is insured up to RMB500,000 (approximately $77,000), As a result, cash held in PRC financial institutions of $256,746 and $1,224,263 is not insured as of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, respectively. We have not experienced any losses in such bank accounts through July 31, 2021.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Accounts receivable and other receivable are reported at net realizable value. We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible after exhaustive efforts on collection. We had none of allowance for doubtful accounts as of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021.

INVENTORIES

 

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods related to our products, are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value that can be estimated utilizing the weighted moving average method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain slow-moving inventories may be sold at below book value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates.  As of July 31, 2021, the Company did not record a reserve for slow-moving inventories. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record a write down of inventories for the difference between the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. As of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, the Company wrote down inventories of $187,704 and $1,276,893, respectively. 

 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from two to thirty years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance with paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), we examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of factory improvements and machinery pending installation and included the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and or any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets if applicable. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

 

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

In accordance with ASC 360, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets, and land use rights, for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates. Based on our evaluation, we have determined certain long-lived assets that are no longer useful for our operations, and we recorded a loss on disposition of property and equipment of $394,967 and $nil on July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, respectively.

 

LAND USE RIGHTS

 

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 rights granted by the Chinese government for a specified period of time. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the periods the rights are granted.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

We adopted ASC Section 820-10-35-37 to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. ASC Section 820-10-35-37 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC Section 820-10-35-37 did not have an impact on our financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

 

ASC Section 820-10-35-37 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC Section 820-10-35-37 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1:

Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2:

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity's own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, taxes payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.  

 

TAXES PAYABLE

 

We are required to charge for and to collect value added taxes (VAT) on our sales on behalf of the PRC tax authority. We record VAT that we billed our customers as VAT payable. In addition, we are required to pay value added taxes on our primary purchases. We record VAT that is charged by our vendors as VAT receivable. We are required to file VAT return on a monthly basis with the PRC tax authority, in which we are entitled to claim the VAT that we are charged by vendors as VAT credit and these credits can be applied to our VAT payable that we billed our customers. Accordingly, these VAT payable and receivable are presented as net amounts for financial statement purposes. Taxes payable as of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021 amounted to $330,318 and $330,738, respectively, consisted primarily of VAT taxes.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 606, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 

 

In accordance with ASC 606, we recognize revenues from the sale of stevia and other productions upon shipment and transfer of title based on the trade terms. All product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the products. We report revenues net of applicable sales taxes and related surcharges. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

 

Identify the contract with a customer;

 

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

 

Determine the transaction price;

 

 

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

 

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

 

The Company is also a lessor, which is an entity that is lease underlying asset to the third party, The Company’s lease revenue is recognized under ASC Topic 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”), which was adopted on May 1, 2019. In general, the Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. The Company’s lease has been accounted for as operating lease. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease of five years. Actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may have been higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. The difference by which straight-line rental revenue exceeded rents billed in accordance with lease agreements is recorded as “accounts receivable”. The difference by which rents billed in accordance with lease agreements exceeded straight-line rental revenue is recorded as “advances from customer”. The Company does not offset lease income and lease expense.

 

GRANT INCOME

 

Grants received from PRC government agencies are recognized as deferred grant income and recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as and when they are earned for the specific research and development projects for which these grants are designated for.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10") which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that it is more likely than not be realized.

 

We file federal and state income tax returns in the United States for our corporate operations pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and file separate foreign tax returns for our Chinese subsidiaries pursuant to the China's Unified Corporate Income Tax Law.

We apply the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company's liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company's results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of July 31, 2021, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

 

BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Pursuant to ASC Section 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of ours, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Section 830-20-35 and are included in determining net income or loss.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company's operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB").  In accordance with ASC 830-20-35, the consolidated financial statements were translated into United States dollars using balance sheet date rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for the income statements and cash flows. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.  Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

 

RMB is not a fully convertible currency. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC") or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC, which are determined largely by supply and demand. Translation of amounts from RMB into United States dollars ("$") was made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

As of July 31, 2021

RMB 6.46 to $1.00

As of April 30, 2021

RMB 6.47 to $1.00

 

 

Three months ended July 31, 2021

RMB 6.44 to $1.00

COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

 

   Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 included net loss and unrealized gains from foreign currency translation adjustments. 

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Research and development costs are incurred on a project specific basis. Research and development costs were $355,713 and $361,438 for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

SHIPPING COSTS

 

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $20,161 and $16,516 for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

ADVERTISING

 

              Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling expenses and totaled $0 and $14,433 for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company uses the "management approach" in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company's chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company's reportable segments. The Company's chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer of the Company who reviews financial information of separate operating segments based on U.S. GAAP. The chief operating decision maker now reviews results analyzed by customer. This analysis is only presented at the revenue level with no allocation of direct or indirect costs. Consequently, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU provides an exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. This update also (1) requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, (2) requires an entity to evaluate when a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which goodwill was originally recognized for accounting purposes and when it should be considered a separate transaction, and (3) requires that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting company. For all other entities, the requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-13 has been amended by ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, and ASU 2019-11. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016-13, the effective dates and transition methodology for ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, and ASU 2019-11 are the same as the effective dates and transition methodology in ASU 2016-13. The Company did not adopt this standard yet due to the status of smaller reporting company. We plan to adopt this standard for the year beginning May 1, 2023. We do not expect the adoption of this standard will have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

- 10 -

 

 

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, we have not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred recurring losses with a net loss of approximately $750,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and has a significant accumulated deficit of $43.8 million as of July 31, 2021. The Company's cash balance and revenues generated are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These factors raise doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include attempting to improve its business profitability, its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet its operating needs on a timely basis, obtain additional working capital funds through debt and equity financings, and restructure on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies to raise cash balance in order to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this report. Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.  There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and raise additional capital. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amount or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
