NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Sharing Economy International Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 24, 1987 under the name of Malex, Inc. On December 18, 2007, the Company’s corporate name was changed to China Wind Systems, Inc. and on June 13, 2011, the Company changed its corporate name to Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. On August 7, 2012, the Company was converted into a Nevada corporation. On January 8, 2018, the Company changed its corporate name to Sharing Economy International Inc. 

Through its affiliated companies, the Company manufactures and sells textile dyeing and finishing machines. The Company is the sole owner of Fulland Limited (“Fulland”), a Cayman Island limited liability company, which was organized on May 9, 2007. Fulland owns 100% of the capital stock of Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Green Power”) and, until December 30, 2016, Fulland owned 100% of Wuxi Fulland Wind Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Fulland Wind”). Green Power is and Fulland Wind was a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Green Power is a party to a series of contractual arrangements, as fully described below, dated October 12, 2007 with Wuxi Huayang Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. (“Heavy Industries”), formerly known as Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd., and Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dyeing”), both of which are limited liability companies organized under the laws of, and based in, the PRC. Heavy Industries and Dyeing are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Huayang Companies.”

Dyeing, which was formed on August 17, 1995, produces and sells a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery for the textile industry. The Company refers to this segment as the dyeing and finishing equipment segment. On December 26, 2016, Dyeing and an unrelated individual formed Wuxi Shengxin New Energy Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Shengxin”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC in which Dyeing has a 30% equity interest and the unrelated third party holds a 70% interest, pursuant to an agreement dated December 23, 2016. Shengxin intends to develop, construct and maintain photovoltaic power generation projects, known as solar farms, in China, mainly in the provinces of GuiZhou and YunNan. In April 2018, Shengxin secured and invested in a large solar PV project in GuiZhou province. Shengxin paid RMB40.0 million for the project rights and also engaged a local contractor to proceed with building the project. However, on June 1, 2018, the Chinese government halted installation of new solar farms for the remainder of the year and reduced subsidies for projects already under construction. In September 2018, due to significance doubt about the status of this project and recoverability of the Company’s investment, the Company fully impaired the value of its investment in Shengxin (see Note 5).

Fulland Wind was formed on August 27, 2008. In 2009, the Company began to produce and sell forged products through Fulland Wind. Through Fulland Wind, the Company manufactured and sold forged products, including wind products such as shafts, rolled rings, gear rims, gearboxes, bearings and other components and finished products and assemblies for the wind power and other industries, including large-scale equipment used in the manufacturing process for the various industries. The Company referred to this segment of its business as the forged rolled rings and related components segment. On December 30, 2016, Fulland sold the stock of Fulland Wind.

Beginning in February 2015, Heavy Industries began to produce equipment for the petroleum and chemical industries. The Company referred to this segment of its business as the petroleum and chemical equipment segment. Because of a significant decline in revenues from this segment, the Company determined it would not continue to operate in this segment and accordingly, the petroleum and chemical equipment segment is reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented (See Note 2). As a result of the discontinuation of the petroleum and chemical equipment business, the Company’s business primarily consists of the dyeing and finishing equipment business as its primary continuing operations since December 31, 2016.

The Company’s latest business initiatives are focused on targeting the technology and global sharing economy markets, by developing online platforms and rental business partnerships that will drive the global development of sharing through economical rental business models. In connection with the new business initiatives, the Company formed or acquired the following subsidiaries:

● Vantage Ultimate Limited (“Vantage”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on February 1, 2017 and is wholly-owned by the Company.

● Sharing Economy Investment Limited (“Sharing Economy”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on May 18, 2017 and is wholly-owned by Vantage.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of approximately $25,049,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The net cash used in operations were approximately $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, revenues, substantially all of which are derived from the manufacture and sales of textile dyeing and finishing equipment, decreased by 26.4% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Management believes that its capital resources are not currently adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy for twelve months from the date of this report. The Company may seek to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of equity and from bank loans, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail or cease operations.

Management believes that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Listing status

On November 26, 2018, Sharing Economy International Inc. (the “Company”) received a staff determination notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that as a result of its failure to comply with Nasdaq’s shareholder approval requirements set forth in Listing Rule 5635(c) (the “Rule”), the staff determined to deny the Company’s request for continued listing based on a plan of compliance submitted on October 26, 2018. The Company’s common stock was delisted from Nasdaq at the open of trading on December 5, 2018. The Company’s common stock is currently trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol “SEII”.

Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, but does not include all disclosures required by the generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries, as well as the financial statements of the Huayang Companies, including Dyeing, which conducts the Company’s continuing operations, and Heavy Industries, which operated discontinued operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On December 30, 2016, the Company sold and transferred its 100% interest in Fulland Wind to an unrelated party. Additionally, the Company’s management decided to discontinue its petroleum and chemical equipment segment due to significant declines in revenues and the loss of its major customer. As such, petroleum and chemical segment’s assets and liabilities have been classified on the consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The operating results of the petroleum and chemical segments have been classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, all disclosures and amounts in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are related to the Company’s continuing operations.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, the Huayang Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s relationships with the Huayang Companies and their shareholders are governed by a series of contractual arrangements between Green Power, the Company’s wholly foreign-owned enterprise in the PRC, and each of the Huayang Companies, which are the operating companies of the Company in the PRC. Under PRC laws, each of Green Power, Dyeing and Heavy Industries is an independent legal entity and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC.

Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company has a pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that requires the Company to consolidate the Huayang Companies in its financial statements as if they are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 include the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts and other receivables, the allowance for inventory reserve, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the value of stock-based compensation.

7

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC, Hong Kong and the U.S. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cash balances held in PRC and Hong Kong banks of $224,828 and $774,316, respectively, are uninsured.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advances to suppliers, receivable from sale of subsidiary, prepaid expenses and other, short-term bank loans, bank acceptance notes payable, note payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances from customers, amount due to related parties, and income taxes payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments .

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.

Concentrations of credit risk

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC and Hong Kong. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC and Hong Kong, and by the general state of the economies in the PRC and Hong Kong. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC and Hong Kong, and none of these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s cash balances by geographic area were as follows:

Country:	March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
United States	$	91,361	28.89	%	$	7,424	0.95	%
Hong Kong		97,626	30.88	%		182,800	23.38	%
China		127,202	40.23	%		591,516	75.67	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	316,189	100.00	%	$	781,740	100.00	%

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $11,305,983 and $9,527,060, respectively. 

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company recorded an inventory reserve of $4,929,768 and $1,212,706 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statements of operations in the year of disposition. The Company examines 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. Impairment loss has been recorded in current period (see note 6).

Equity method investment

Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in the long term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Under this method of accounting, the Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of the investee is presented under other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates its equity method investment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of such investment may be impaired. A loss would be recorded if a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary (see Note 5).

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the vesting period or immediately if fully vested and non-forfeitable. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Additionally, effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 permits the election of an accounting policy for forfeitures of share-based payment awards, either to recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate forfeitures over the vesting period of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur and the cumulative impact of this change did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

9

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption.

Employee benefits

The Company’s operations and employees are all located in the PRC and Hong Kong. The Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC and Hong Kong governments’ health, retirement benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with the relevant Chinese social security laws and law of Mandatory Provident Fund in Hong Kong. The costs of these payments are charged to the same accounts as the related salary costs in the same period as the related salary costs incurred. Employee benefit costs totaled $68,365 and $71,503 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

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”) or Hong Kong dollars (HKD). For the subsidiaries and affiliates, whose functional currencies are the RMB or HKD, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $22,513 and $20,335, respectively.

The Company did not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

For operating subsidiaries and VIE’s located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), asset and liability accounts as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were translated at 6.7112 RMB to $1.00 and at 6.8778 to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. For operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong, asset and liability accounts as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were translated at 7.8498 and 7.8305 HKD to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet date. For operating subsidiaries and VIE’s located in the PRC, the average translation rates applied to the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 6.7447 RMB and 6.3594 RMB to $1.00, respectively. For operating subsidiaries located in Hong Kong, the average translation rates applied to the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 7.8 HKD to $1.00. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate.

Loss per share of common stock

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company did not have any common stock equivalents or potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Net Loss for basic and diluted attributable to common shareholders	$	(24,846,674	)	$	(4,780,414	)
From continuing operations		(24,846,674	)		(4,797,313	)
From discontinued operations	$	-		$	16,899
Weighted average common stock outstanding – basic and diluted		8,118,610			2,992,879
Net loss per share of common stock
From continuing operations – basic and diluted	$	(3.06	)	$	(1.60	)
From discontinued operations – basic and diluted		0.00			0.00
Net loss per common share – basic and diluted	$	(3.06	)	$	(1.60	)

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 income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 included net loss and unrealized gain from foreign currency translation adjustments. 

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s financial presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. In December 2017, January 2018, July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 & 11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, respectively, which contain modifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under the Optional 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. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach and elected to utilize the Optional Transition Method. In addition, the Company elected the land easement transition practical expedient and did not reassess whether an existing or expired land easement is a lease or contains a lease if it has not historically been accounted for as a lease. The adoption did not impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment. ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share based payments granted to non-employees with that of share based payments granted to employees. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Pursuant to an agreement dated December 23, 2016, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Fulland, sold the stock of Fulland Wind to a third party for a sales price of RMB 48 million (approximately $6.9 million). The Company’s forging and related components business was conducted through Fulland Wind. The purchase price is payable in three installments. The Company received the first installment of RMB 14,400,000 (approximately $2.1 million) on December 28, 2016, and received the second installment of RMB14,400,000 (approximately $2.1 million) on April 10, 2017. The Company delivered Fulland Wind’s business license, seals, books and records, business contracts and personnel roster to the third party buyer on December 30, 2016, effectively the sale date. If the equity transfer registration formalities are completed within one year without any third party claims on the equity transfer, a final payment of RMB 19,200,000 (approximately $2.7 million) was due 25 working days after the expiration of such period.  Pursuant to extension agreement dated December 31, 2018, the Company agreed the above third party buyer could paid off the final payment of RMB 19,200,000 (approximately $2.7 million) by December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 2019, the Company believed that the final payment of RMB 19,200,000 (approximately $2.7 million) is uncollectible and the write off of such receivable is included in bad debt expense.

Additionally, in December 2016, the Company’s management decided to discontinue its petroleum and chemical equipment segment under Heavy Industries due to significant decline in revenues and the loss of its major customers. Accordingly, the petroleum and chemical equipment segment business is treated as a discontinued operation.

The results of operations from chemical equipment segment of Heavy Industries for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been classified to the loss from discontinued operations line on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss presented herein.

The assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is set forth below.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, accounts receivable consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Accounts receivable	$	14,436,421		$	13,855,040
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts		(11,305,983	)		(9,527,060	)
	$	3,130,438		$	4,327,980

The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, bad debt expense amounted to $1,534,761 and $1,318,204, respectively.

NOTE 4 – INVENTORIES

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, inventories consisted of the following: 

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Raw materials	$	1,030,504		$	1,207,334
Work-in-process		774,260			872,376
Finished goods		5,676,673			5,547,301
		7,481,437			7,627,011
Less: inventory reserve		(4,929,768	)		(1,212,706	)
	$	2,551,669		$	6,414,305

The Company establishes a reserve to mark down its inventories for estimated unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about the usability of the inventories, future demand and market conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company increased its inventory reserve for $3,672,019 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT

On December 26, 2016, Dyeing and Xue Miao, an unrelated individual, formed Shengxin pursuant to an agreement dated December 23, 2016. The agreement sets forth general terms relating to the proposed business, but does not set forth specific funding obligations for either party. Dyeing has agreed to invest RMB 60,000,000 (approximately $8.9 million) and had invested RMB 59.8 million (approximately $8.9 million as of March 31, 2019), for which it received a 30% interest, and Mr. Xue has a commitment to invest RMB 140,000,000 (approximately $20.9 million), of which Mr. Xue has contributed RMB 60,000,000 (approximately $8.9 million), for which Mr. Xue received a 70% interest in Shengxin. Shengxin’s registered capital is RMB 200 million (approximately $29.8 million). Mr. Xue had advised Dyeing that he anticipated that he will fund the remaining RMB 80,000,000 (approximately $11.9 million) of his commitment during 2018. Since Mr. Xue did not make this payment by the end of 2017, Dyeing has the right to amend the contract, and both parties may adjust each side’s equity interest to reflect the amount of capital each side has actually invested.

In April 2018, Shengxin secured and invested in a large solar PV project in GuiZhou province. Shengxin paid RMB40.0 million for the project rights and also engaged a local contractor to proceed with building the project. However, on June 1, 2018, the Chinese government halted installation of new solar farms for the remainder of the year and reduced subsidies for projects already under construction. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Chinese government will invest in new solar farm or provide the subsidies needed to fund projects. In September 2018, due to significance doubt about the status of this project and recoverability of our investment, the Company fully impaired the value of the investment in Shengxin.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a loss on equity method investment of $0 and $72,412, respectively.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

Securities purchase agreement and related convertible note and warrants

On May 2, 2018, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, the Company closed a private placement of securities with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor purchased a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Iliad Note”) in the original principal amount of $900,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Iliad Note, and a two year Warrant to purchase 134,328 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.18 per share (the “Warrant”). In connection with the Iliad Note, the Company paid an original issue discount of $150,000 and paid issuance costs of $45,018 which will be reflected as a debt discount and amortized over the Iliad Note term. The Iliad Note bears interest at 10% per annum, is unsecured, and is due on the date that is fifteen months from May 2, 2018. The warrants shall expire on the last calendar day of the month in which the second anniversary of the Issue Date occurs. On November 8, 2018, the Company converted an aggregate of $27,811 and $47,189 outstanding principal and interest of the Iliad Note, respectively, into a total of 36,621 shares of its common stock. On January 11, 2019, the Company converted an aggregate of $34,103 and $15,897 outstanding principal and interest of the Iliad Note, respectively, into 266,667 shares of its common stock.

The Investor has the right at any time after May 2, 2018 until the outstanding balance has been paid in full to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares of common stock of the Company at conversion price of $6.70 per share (the “Lender Conversion Price”). The Lender Conversion Price is subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Iliad Note. The conversion price for each Redemption Conversion (the “Redemption Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) the Lender Conversion Price, and (b) the Market Price; provided, however, in no event shall the Redemption Conversion Price be less than $2.00 per share (“Conversion Price Floor”) unless the Company waive the Conversion Price Floor.

This debt instrument includes embedded components including a put option. The Company evaluated these embedded components to determine whether they are embedded derivatives within the scope of ASC 815 that should be separately carried at fair value. ASC 815-15-25-1 provides guidance on when an embedded component should be separated from its host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative. Based on this analysis, the Company believes that the put option is clearly and closely related to the debt instrument and does not meet the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, in connection with this Iliad Note, the Company recorded a debt discount for (a) the original issue discount of $150,000 (b) the relative fair value of the warrants issued of $152,490 and (c) legal fees and other fees paid in connection with the Iliad Note aggregating $45,018. There is no beneficial conversion feature on this Iliad Note. The debt discount shall be accreted on a straight line basis over the term of this Iliad Note.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Historically, our primary operations involved the design, manufacture and distribution of a line of proprietary high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery to the textile industry. Our products feature a high degree of both automation and mechanical-electrical integration. Our products are used in dyeing yarns such as pure cotton, cotton-polyester, terylene, polyester wool, poly-acrylic fiber, nylon, cotton ramie, and wool yarn. We are continuing to seek to utilize our expertise in manufacturing precision products to meet demand in new and existing end markets.

We design and produce airflow dyeing machines, which use air instead of water. Water is used in the traditional dyeing process. We believe that our air-flow technology, which is designed to enable users to meet the stricter environmental standards, results in reduced input costs, fewer wrinkles, less damage to the textile, and reduced emissions. Historically, the Chinese government’s mandate to phase out older machinery in China’s textile industry that does not meet the new environmental standards has benefitted us. However, in recent years, challenging economic conditions, increases in raw materials prices and the Chinese government’s more aggressive stance toward shutting down factories, including textile manufacturers, that are not compliant with emission standards, have adversely impacted our dyeing and finishing businesses. Due to rising production costs, many other textile manufacturers are closing or relocating to other countries outside of China in Southeast Asia.

In an effort to improve our product offering and appeal to textile manufacturers outside of our current customer base in China, we have developed prototypes of next generation dyeing and finishing equipment utilizing a patent we purchased in August 2016 that covers ozone-ultrasonic textile dyeing equipment. Due to the challenging conditions facing our customers, increasing raw materials prices and labor costs, we have not recorded any revenues from this patent and believe it is unlikely to yield significant value to the Company. As a result, we recorded a $1.9 million impairment loss on this asset during the third quarter of 2018.

We are also diversifying our manufacturing operations to target other industries outside of the textile industry and are constructing a mobile phone cover production line. As of the date of this annual report, the line is nearly completed and we expect to begin production in the first half of 2019. We are actively exploring other new ventures and opportunities that could contribute to our business in the future. We expect our revenue from dyeing and finishing equipment segment will remain at or about its current quarterly level in the near future, although declines are possible.

On December 26, 2016, Dyeing and Xue Miao, an unrelated individual, formed Shengxin, in which Dyeing has a 30% equity interest and the unrelated third party holds a 70% interest, pursuant to an agreement dated December 23, 2016. Shengxin intends to develop, construct and maintain photovoltaic power generation projects, known as solar farms, in China, mainly in the provinces of GuiZhou and YunNan. In April 2018, Shengxin secured and invested in a large solar PV project in GuiZhou province. Shengxin paid RMB40.0 million for the project rights and also engaged a local contractor to proceed with building the project. However, on June 1, 2018, the Chinese government halted installation of new solar farms for the remainder of the year and reduced subsidies for projects already under construction. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Chinese government will invest in new solar farm or provide the subsidies needed to fund projects.

Our investment in Shengxin is subject to a high degree of risk. We cannot give any assurance that Shengxin will be able to obtain any permits, raise any required funding, develop and operate or sell any solar farms or operate profitably or that Dyeing will have the resources to provide any funds that may be required in order to fund any solar farm projects for which Shengxin may obtain permits. There may be a significant delay between the time funds are advanced for any project and the realization of revenue or cash flow from any project. In September 2018, due to significance doubt about the status of this project and recoverability of the Company’s investment, we fully impaired the value of its investment in Shengxin in the amount of approximately $8,7 million (equivalent to RMB59.8 million).

Through December 30, 2016, we operated in the forged rolled rings and related components segment, in which we manufactured and sold precision forged rolled rings, shafts, flanges, and other forged components for the energy industry including wind power and other industries, On December 30, 2016, we sold the stock in Fulland Wind, the subsidiary that operated our forged rolled rings and related components business, to a non-affiliated third party.

Additionally, during 2016, we operated a petroleum and chemical equipment segment, in which we manufactured and sold petroleum and chemical equipment. Because of a significant decline in revenues from this segment, we determined that we would not continue to operate in this segment and accordingly, the petroleum and chemical equipment segment is reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Recently, difficult economic conditions, limited availability of credit in China and trade tensions with the US presented numerous challenges for our business. As a result, we experienced softer demand for our low-emission airflow dyeing machines as many of our potential customers already upgraded to newer models and we believe that much of our remaining potential customer base does not have the ability to make significant capital expenditures at this time. As a result, if we are to sell our products to the smaller textile manufacturers, it may be necessary for us to design and market a cheaper machine that meets the Chinese government requirements or reduce prices which would impact both revenues and gross margin.

Our ability to expand our operations and increase our revenue is largely affected by the PRC government’s policy on such matters as the availability of credit, which affects all of our operations, and its policies relating to the textile industry, environmental issues and alternative energy as well as the competitiveness of Chinese textile manufacturers at a time when consumers are looking for lower prices and manufacturers are looking to produce in a country that has lower labor costs than China, all of which affects the market for our dyeing and finishing equipment. Our business is also affected by general economic conditions and we cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our revenues in the near future, if at all. For example, tariffs levied on Chinese textile manufacturers by the US have a negative impact on our customers and limit their ability to purchase equipment from us. Because of the nature of our products, our customers’ projections of future economic conditions are an integral part of their decisions as to whether to purchase capital equipment at this time or defer such purchases until a future date.

Given the headwinds affecting our manufacturing business, we continued to pursue what we believe are high growth opportunities for the Company, particularly our new business divisions focused on the development of sharing economy platforms and related rental businesses within the company. These initiatives are still in an early stage and are dependent in large part on availability of capital to fund their future growth. We did not generate significant revenues from our sharing economy business initiatives in 2018 or during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

AnyWorkspace Limited

Anyworkspace, our coworking business unit, is focused on enlarging its exposure to the general public. AnyWorkspace started showing positive traction in India as space providers from New Delhi and Gurgaon have signed partnership agreements with us. We are currently revamping AnyWorkspace’s corporate website, www.anyworkspace.com. AnyWorkspace will also focus on digital marketing activities for its market expansion plans when there is available cash flow or funds from investors. 

Given the existing coworking spaces providers marketing their available spaces and managing individual online business platform themselves, we expect our current global online platform will take years to materialize its worldwide customer base. Therefore, the intangible asset amounted to $0.6 million (equivalent to HK$4.97 million) representing the online platform acquired has been fully impaired in the last quarter of 2018.

3D Discovery Co. Limited

3D Discovery, an IT service provider that develops virtual tours for the real estate, hospitality and interior design industries. 3D Discovery’s space capturing and modeling technology is already used by some of Hong Kong’s leading property agencies to provide their clients with a truly immersive, first-hand experience of a physical space while saving them time and money. According to Goldman Sachs, the Real Estate virtual reality (“VR”) industry is predicted to reach $2.6 billion in 2025, supported by a potential user base of over 1.4 million registered real estate agents in some of the world’s largest markets. Apart from its existing profitable operations, 3D Discovery is developing a mobile app, Autocap, which allows users to create an interactive virtual tour of a physical space by using a mobile phone camera.

3D Discovery successfully completed a number of projects during the year. First, its “3D Virtual Tours in Hong Kong” generated about 1,371,000 impressions in 2018. In addition, 3D Discovery partnered with Midland Realty, one of the largest real estate agencies in Hong Kong, to establish the “Creation 200 3D Virtual Tours.”.

EC Advertising Limited

Following the acquisition of BuddiGo, AnyWorkspace and 3D Discovery by the Company during the period between late 2017 and the first half year of 2018, EC Advertising Limited (“EC Advertising”) has been developing opportunities for these three platforms to attract advertisers.

During the period, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Xiamen, Fujian Province of Mainland China, which is intended to cover our advertising business in this region. We started meeting with a number of potential clients there and anticipate that this advertising company will confirm with them several marketing campaigns. In order to maximize our exposure to the potential clients in Mainland China, we are developing a strategic media plan which will cover major cities in Mainland China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Major banks, real estate developers and consumer products manufacturers and retailers are our target clients. More importantly, our presence in Mainland China can facilitate the rollout of franchise programs of our business units, which is one of the revenue drivers for the Company.

ECrent Platform Business 

Asia Region:

In 2018, our subsidiary SEIL entered into a license agreement with ECRENT, regarding the grant of an exclusive and sublicensable license from ECRENT to SEII to utilize certain software and trademarks in order to develop, launch, operate, commercialize, and maintain an online website platform in Taiwan, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, and Korea. According to the latest amendment, ECRENT will guarantee that the operation of its related websites, mobile applications and business services will contribute revenue of $13,000,000 (increased from $10,000,000 according to the previously amended agreement) and gross profit of $2,522,000 (up from $1,940,000 as stated on the previously amended agreement) from the closing date of the License Agreement through December 31, 2019 (extended from June 30, 2019 per the previously amended agreement).

In August 2018, SEIL has entered into a License Agreement with PTI Corporation (“PTI”), that sublicenses SEIL’s exclusive license with ECRENT to utilize certain software and trademarks in order to develop, launch, operate, commercialize, and maintain an online website platform in South Korea. In return, PTI shall pay to SEIL $230,000 (“Consideration”). The License Agreement will be effective on September 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. In addition, if the aggregate revenue during the period exceeds the Consideration, SEIL shall receive 30% of the difference between the aggregate revenue and the Consideration. During the third quarter of 2018, PTI commenced prelaunch activities to develop the platform.

Europe Region:

In August 2018, our subsidiary SEIL entered into a License Agreement with ECRENT regarding the grant of an exclusive and sublicensable license from ECRENT to SEII to utilize certain software and trademarks in order to develop, launch, operate, commercialize, and maintain an online website platform in United Kingdom, Germany, France, Poland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Denmark, Russia, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. In return, SEII shall issue to ECRENT 360,000 shares of restricted common stock. Closing of this transaction was conditioned on various conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

Going forward, we will continue targeting the technology and global sharing economy markets, by developing online platforms and rental business partnerships that will drive the global development of sharing through economical rental business models.

Inventory and Raw Materials

A major element of our cost of revenues is raw materials, principally steel as well as other metals. These metals are subject to price fluctuations, and recently these fluctuations have been significant. In times of increasing prices, we need to try to establish the price at which we purchase raw materials in order to avoid increases in costs which we cannot recoup through increases in sales prices. Similarly, in times of decreasing prices, we may have purchased metals at prices which are high in terms of the price at which we can sell our products, which also can impair our margins. Two major suppliers provided approximately 45% of our purchases of inventories for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Four major suppliers provided 74% of our purchases of inventories for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes and the valuation of equity transactions.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

24

Variable Interest Entities

Pursuant to ASC Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The accounting standards require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity.

Dyeing and Heavy Industries are considered VIEs, and we are the primary beneficiary. On November 13, 2007, we entered into agreements with the Dyeing pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of Dyeing’s net income. In accordance with these agreements, Dyeing shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Power, and Green Power shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service Dyeing.

The accounts of the Dyeing and Heavy Industries are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. As a VIE, Dyeing and Heavy Industries’s sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of the Huayang Companies’ net income, and their assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets. The VIEs do not have any non-controlling interest and, accordingly, we did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in Dyeing that require consolidation of the Dyeing’s financial statements with our financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

As a basis for estimating the likelihood of collection has been established, we consider a number of factors when determining reserves for uncollectable accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably reliable methodology to estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable. We review our allowances for doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We also consider whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers or other parties that we have business relations with were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record additional reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. We review inventory quantities on hand and on order and record, on a quarterly basis, a provision for excess and obsolete inventory, if necessary. If the results of the review determine that a write-down is necessary, we recognize a loss in the period in which the loss is identified, whether or not the inventory is retained. Our inventory reserves establish a new cost basis for inventory and are not reversed until we sell or dispose of the related inventory. Such provisions are established based on historical usage, adjusted for known changes in demands for such products, or the estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements.

25

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

	Useful Life
Building and building improvements	5 – 20 Years
Manufacturing equipment	5 – 10 Years
Office equipment and furniture	5 Years
Vehicles	5 Years

The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statements of income and comprehensive income in the year of disposition.

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. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. 

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the vesting period or immediately if the award is non-forfeitable. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Additionally, effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 permits the election of an accounting policy for forfeitures of share-based payment awards, either to recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate forfeitures over the vesting period of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur and the cumulative impact of this change did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Through September 30, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 – “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions are expected to be met. The Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee share based payments until service conditions are met, which generally aligns with the vesting period of the equity instrument, and the Company adjusts the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption.

26

Currency Exchange Rates

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and VIEs is the RMB and Hong Kong Dollar. Substantially all of our sales are denominated in RMB. As a result, changes in the relative values of U.S. dollars and RMB affect our reported levels of revenues and profitability as the results of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial stability due to a mismatch among various foreign currency-denominated sales and costs. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and RMB affect our gross and net profit margins and could result in foreign exchange and operating losses.

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our operating subsidiary. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders’ equity. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future.

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of our parent company. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB and the Hong Kong dollar. To the extent we hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB or HKD against the U.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB or HKD against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. In December 2017, January 2018, July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 & 11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, respectively, which contain modifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under the Optional 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. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach and elected to utilize the Optional Transition Method. In addition, the Company elected the land easement transition practical expedient and did not reassess whether an existing or expired land easement is a lease or contains a lease if it has not historically been accounted for as a lease. The adoption did not impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment. ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share based payments granted to non-employees with that of share based payments granted to employees. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

Three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 indicated as a percentage of revenues (dollars in thousands):

Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment decreased by $650,000, or 25.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. We experienced an anticipated slowdown in sales of our low-emission airflow dyeing machines as many customers had replaced older dyeing equipment with our low-emission airflow dyeing machine, and we believe that orders for new low-emission airflow dyeing machines have slowed down in 2018 and 2017 because the remaining potential customer base included many companies that did not have the ability to make the significant capital expenditures necessary to upgrade their equipment. Additionally, the textile industry in China has been facing significant headwinds recently. Difficult economic conditions, a continuing decline in oil prices and limited availability of credit in China, presented numerous challenges for our dyeing machine business. Additionally, apparel factories and other factories have been shut down throughout the last year by China’s environmental bureau, which has been cutting electricity and gas supply to determine compliance with China’s environmental laws. Accordingly, our revenues decreased in the 2019 period as compared to the 2018 period. We expect that our revenues from dyeing and finishing equipment segment will remain at or about its’ current level in the near future, although declines are possible.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized revenues from our sharing economy business of $3,789 compared to $31,021 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues includes the cost of raw materials, labor, depreciation and other fixed and variable overhead costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, cost of revenues was approximately $5,587,000 as compared to approximately $2,928,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $2,959,000, or 101.1%.

Gross loss and gross margin. Our gross loss was approximately $3,995,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to gross loss of approximately $359,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, representing gross margins of (211.3%) and (14.0%), respectively, a decrease period over period. The decrease in our gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily attributed to the reduced scale of operations resulting from lower revenues, which is reflected in the allocation of fixed costs, mainly consisting of depreciation, to cost of revenues, an increase in labor and raw material costs, and the increase in impairment loss on inventory.

Operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, operating expenses were approximately $20,918,000 as compared to approximately $4,422,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of approximately $16,497,000, or 373.1%, and consisted of the following:

Depreciation. Depreciation was approximately $694,000 and $1,052,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was included in the following categories (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Cost of revenues	$	417	$	809
Operating expenses		277		243
Total	$	694	$	1,052

28

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2,580,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to approximately $2,747,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of approximately $167,000, or 6.1%. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Professional fees	$	1,838	$	2,065
Payroll and related benefits		222		291
Travel and entertainment		69		68
Shipping		13		17
Other		438		306
Total	$	2,580	$	2,747

● Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $227,000, or 11.0%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based consulting and service fees of approximately $274,000 incurred and paid to individuals and companies which performed consulting and service.

● Payroll and related benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by approximately $69,000, or 23.7%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in employee salaries and related benefits due to the decrease in executive management in Hong Kong during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the comparable period in 2018.

● Travel and entertainment expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by approximately $1,000, or 2.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to the increase in travel and entertainment activities related to our new business initiatives.

● Shipping expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by approximately $3,000, or 19.8%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was mainly attributable to the decrease in our revenues resulting in a decrease in shipping, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

● Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by approximately $132,000, or 43.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to an increase in share-based donation of approximately $260,000.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to approximately $113,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of approximately $20,000, or 17.7%.

Bad debt expense. Bad debt expense was approximately $4,381,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to approximately $1,318,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of approximately $3,063,000. Based on our periodic review of accounts receivable balances, we adjusted the allowance for doubtful accounts after considering management’s evaluation of the collectability of individual receivable balances, including the analysis of subsequent collections, the customers’ collection history, the write off of uncollectible receivables against the existing reserve, and recent economic events. The increase in bad debt expense, was primarily attributable to the write off of receivable from sale of subsidiary.

29

Impairment expense. At March 31, 2019, the Company conducted an impairment assessment on property and equipment based on the guidelines established in ASC Topic 360. Upon completion of the impairment analysis, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $13,586,000 for the three ended March 31, 2019.

Loss from operations. As a result of the factors described above, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, loss from operations amounted to approximately $24,914,000, as compared to approximately $4,781,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), loss on equity method investment, and other income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, total other expense, net, amounted to approximately $135,000 as compared to approximately $103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of approximately $32,000, or 31.6%. The increase in other expense, net, was primarily attributable to losses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to interest expense of approximately $133,000.

Income tax provision. Income tax expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Loss from continuing operations. As a result of the foregoing, our loss from continuing operations was approximately $25,049,000, or $(3.06) per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared with loss from continuing operations of approximately $4,884,000, or $(1.60) per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a change of approximately $20,165,000, or 412.9%.

Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes. Our loss from discontinued operations was $0, or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared with a gain from discontinued operations of approximately $17,000, or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a change of approximately $17,000.

Foreign currency translation gain. The functional currency of our subsidiaries and variable interest entities operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of our subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange (for the period) for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of approximately $682,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to a foreign currency translation gain of approximately $2,050,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This non-cash loss had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive loss.

Comprehensive loss. As a result of our foreign currency translation loss, we had comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $ approximately 24,366,000, compared to comprehensive loss of approximately $2,817,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had cash balances of approximately $316,000 and $782,000, respectively. These funds are located in financial institutions located as follows (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
Country:
United States	$	91	28.8	%	$	7	0.9	%
Hong Kong		98	31.0	%		183	23.4	%
China (PRC)		127	40.2	%		592	75.7	%
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	316	100.0	%	$	782	100.0	%

* Less than 0.1%

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018		Change in Working Capital			Percentage Change
Working capital:
Total current assets	$	10,415		$	21,217	$	(10,802	)		(50.9	)%
Total current liabilities		10,671			10,661		10			0.1	%
Working capital	$	(256	)	$	10,556	$	(10,812	)		(102.4	)%

Our working capital decreased by approximately $10,812,000 to ($256,000) at March 31, 2019 from approximately $10,556,000 at December 31, 2018. This decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to:

● An increase in restricted cash of approximately $1,000;

● An increase in assets of discontinued operations related to the sale of our subsidiary of approximately $8,000;

● A decrease in short-term loan of approximately $116,000;

● A decrease in account payable of approximately $267,000; and

● A decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $436,000.

31

Offset by:

● An increase in due to related party of approximately $125,000;

● An increase in income taxes payable of approximately $1,000;

● An Increase in bank acceptance notes payable of approximately $2,000;

● A decrease in prepaid license fee – related party, of approximately $166,000; and

● A decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $2,180,000.

Because the exchange rate conversion is different for the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows, the changes in assets and liabilities reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows are not necessarily identical with the comparable changes reflected on the consolidated balance sheets.

Net cash flow used by operating activities was approximately $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $536,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of approximately $1,139,000.

● Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily reflected our net loss of approximately $25,049,000, and add-back of non-cash items primarily consisting of depreciation of approximately $694,000, amortization of intangible assets of approximately $89,000, allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $4,381,000, impairment loss of property and equipment of approximately 13,586,000, stock-based compensation and fees of approximately $1,355,000, stock-base donation of approximately $260,000, amortization of debt discount of approximately $70,000, amortization of license fee of approximately $166,000, inventory reserve of approximately $3,672,000 and changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of an increase in advances from customer of approximately $584,000, an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $238,000, a decrease in advances to suppliers of approximately $84,000, an increase in assets of discontinued operations of approximately $3,000, and a decrease in prepaid and other current assets of approximately $90,000, offset by a decrease in note receivable of approximately $80,000, a decrease in inventories of approximately $330,000, a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $362,000, a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $436,000, and an increase in liabilities of discontinued operations of approximately $45,000.

● Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily reflected our net loss of approximately 4,867,000, and add-back of non-cash items primarily consisting of depreciation of approximately $1,052,000, amortization of intangible assets of approximately $98,000, stock-based compensation and fees of approximately $1,643,000, a non-cash bad debt allowance of approximately $1,318,000, and a non-cash bad debt recovery of approximately $17,000, loss on equity method investment of approximately $72,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly consisting of an increase in advances from customer of approximately $772,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $1,672,000, a decrease in advances to suppliers of approximately $182,000, a decrease in assets of discontinued operations of approximately $139,000, and an increase in prepaid and other current assets of $130, offset by an increase in note receivable of $269,000, an increase in inventories of approximately $486,000, a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $635,000, a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $3,000, and a decrease in liabilities of discontinued operations of approximately $136,000, and our net loss of approximately $4,867,000.

32

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to approximately $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 net cash flow used in investing activities reflects the purchase of property and equipment of approximately $55,000, offset by cash received from the purchase subsidiary operations of approximately $2,000.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was approximately $116,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to approximately $310,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received proceeds from bank loans of approximately $445,000, advanced from related party of approximately $157,000 and received proceeds from sale of common stock of approximately $200,100, offset by repayments for bank loans of approximately $654,000 and payments for the decrease in related party advances of approximately $32,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we received proceeds from bank loans of approximately $707,000, advanced from related party of approximately $367,000 and received proceeds from sale of common stock approximately of $256,000, offset by repayments for bank loans approximately of $708,000 and payments for the decrease in bank acceptance notes payable of approximately $314,000.

We have historically funded our capital expenditures through cash flow provided by operations and bank loans. We intend to fund the cost by obtaining financing mainly from local banking institutions with which we have done business in the past. We believe that the relationships with local banks are in good standing and we have not encountered difficulties in obtaining needed borrowings from local banks.  

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual obligations:	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		5+ years
Bank loans (1)	$	2,278	$	2,067	$	211	$	-	$	-
Bank acceptance notes payable		75		75		-		-		-
Total	$	2,352	$	2,141	$	211	$	-	$	-

(1) Bank loans consisted of short term bank loans. Historically, we have refinanced these bank loans for an additional term of six months to one year and we expect to continue to refinance these loans upon expiration.

33

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We produce and sell almost all of our products in China. Thus, most of our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and US dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately $682,000 and unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately $2,050,000, respectively, because of changes in the exchange rate. 

Inflation

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Jianhua Wu, our chief executive officer, and Wanfen Xu, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019.

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Wu and Ms. Xu concluded that, because our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Our management identified material weaknesses related to (i) Lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions, (ii) Lack of accounting expertise in US GAAP, and (iii) Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines. Our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at March 31, 2019.

34

We currently have no plans to expand our company-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system during 2019 and have not implemented further ERP modules to manage inventory and to expand existing ERP systems to other areas of our factory. Due to our working capital requirements and the lack of local professionals with the necessary experience in implementing the ERP system, we postponed the hiring of professional staff to implement ERP system. We have found that engaging professionals who are based outside of Wuxi is very costly and we have not been able to find qualified personnel in the Wuxi area.

Due to our size and nature, particularly in view of the reduced scope of our operations, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible, and we continue to rely on third parties for a significant portion of the preparation of our financial statements. As a result, we have not been able to take steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
