TMSR HOLDING COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 – Nature of business and organization

 

TMSR Holding Company Limited (the “Company” or “TMSR”), formerly known as JM Global Holding Company (“JM Global”), was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 2015. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets (“Business Combination”). On June 20, 2018, TMSR completed a reincorporation and as a result, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of TMSR Nevada became the governing instruments of the Company, resulting in a 2-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Forward Split). The Reincorporation and Forward Split were approved by shareholders holding the majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of TMSR Delaware on June 1, 2018 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

On February 6, 2018, China Sunlong Environmental Technology Inc. (“China Sunlong”) consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) with JM Global pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated as of August 28, 2017 by and among (i) JM Global; (ii) Zhong Hui Holding Limited; (iii) China Sunlong; (iv) each of the shareholders of China Sunlong named on Annex I of the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Sellers”); and (v) Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the Chief Executive Officer and director of China Sunlong, in the capacity as the representative for the Sellers. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, JM Global acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China Sunlong in exchange for 17,990,856 newly-issued shares of common stock of JM Global to the Sellers. 1,799,088 of these newly-issued shares are held in escrow for 18 months from the closing date of the Business Combination as a security for China Sunlong and the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement. This transaction is accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of China Sunlong owns the majority of the outstanding shares of JM Global immediately following the completion of the transaction and JM Global’s operations was the operations of China Sunlong following the transaction. Accordingly, China Sunlong was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of China Sunlong. The financial statements of China Sunlong prior to February 6, 2018 are prepared on the basis as if the reorganization became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of JM Global.

 

China Sunlong is a holding company incorporated on August 31, 2015, under the laws of the Cayman Islands. China Sunlong has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding share capital of Shengrong Environmental Protection Holding Company Limited (“Shengrong BVI”). Shengrong BVI is a holding company incorporated on June 30, 2015, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Shengrong BVI has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding share capital of Hong Kong Shengrong Environmental Technology Limited (“Shengrong HK”). Shengrong HK is also a holding company holding all of the outstanding equity of Shengrong Environmental Protection Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. (“Shengrong WFOE”).

 

The Company focuses on the industrial solid waste recycling and comprehensive utilization. The Company’s main products are high efficiency permanent magnetic separators and comprehensive utilization systems for industrial solid wastes. The Company’s headquarter is located in Hubei Province, in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). All of the Company’s business activities are carried out by the wholly owned operating Chinese company, Hubei Shengrong Environmental Protection Energy-Saving Science and Technology Ltd. (“Hubei Shengrong”) prior to May 1, 2018.

 

On April 11, 2018, the Company, Shengrong WFOE and Hubei Shengrong, both of which are the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Purchasers”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Long Liao, Chunyong Zheng, Wuhan Modern Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Hubei Zhonggong Materials Group Co., Ltd. (collectively “Sellers” ) and Wuhan HOST Coating Materials Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan HOST”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the research, development, production and sale of coating materials. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Wuhan Host (the “Acquisition”). In exchange for the transfer of 100% equity interest of Wuhan Host, Purchasers shall pay a total consideration of $11.2 million (“Total Consideration”), of which $5.2 million or RMB equivalent shall be paid in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and $6.0 million shall be paid in shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001, of TMSR (“Share Consideration”).

On August 16, 2018, The Purchasers and the Sellers entered into a supplement agreement (“Supplement Agreement”), which modified the terms of consideration set forth in the Purchase Agreement entered between Purchasers and Sellers on April 11, 2018. Pursuant to the Supplement Agreement, in exchange for the transfer of 100% equity interest of Wuhan Host, Purchasers shall pay a total consideration of $11.2 million (“Total Consideration”), of which $6.5 million or RMB equivalent shall be paid in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and $4.7 million shall be paid in shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001, of TMSR (“Share Consideration”). In the Supplement Agreement, both Purchasers and Sellers also agreed to delete the section 3.3 of the Share Purchase Agreement, a section that stipulates the Share Consideration shall be issued in three equal installments.

 

On March 31, 2017, China Sunlong completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity in TJComex International Group Corporation (“TJComex BVI”). At the closing of such acquisition, the selling shareholders of TJComex BVI received 5,935 shares (“Payment Shares”) of China Sunlong Common Stock valued at $926.71 per share for 100% of their equity in TJComex BVI. TJComex BVI owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TJComex Hong Kong Company Limited (“TJComex HK”), a Hong Kong limited liability company, which owns 100% equity interest of Tianjin Corro Technological Consulting Co., Ltd. (“TJComex WFOE”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated under the laws of the PRC. Pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, TJComex WFOE controls Tianjin Commodity Exchange Co., Ltd. (“TJComex Tianjin”), a limited liability company incorporated under the law of the PRC. TJComex Tianjin is engaged in general merchandise trading business and related consulting services, and its headquarter is located in the city of Tianjin, PRC.

 

On April 2, 2018, the Company disposed of its subsidiary, TJComex BVI in consideration of (i) its minimum contribution to the Company’s results of operation and (ii) the unsatisfactory synergy between the TJComex BVI business and the rest of the Company’s business. The Company’s decision to dispose of TJComex BVI is to (i) improve the Company’s overall financial condition and results of operations, (ii) reduce the complexity of the Company’s business, (iii) focus the Company’s resources on the solid waste recycling business as well as developing environmental control business opportunities; and (iv) make it possible for the Company to pursue acquisition opportunities for more compatible businesses. TJComex BVI was disposed to Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the director of China Sunlong.

 

As of April 2, 2018, the net assets of TJComex BVI were $16,598 and is being recorded as a loss from disposal of subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2018. As TJComex BVI operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s revenue and the disposal did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for TJComex BVI were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

 

On October 10, 2017, Hubei Shengrong established a wholly owned subsidiary, Fujian Shengrong Environmental Protection Energy-Saving Science and Technology Ltd. (“Fujian Shengrong”), with registered capital of RMB 10,000,000 (approximately USD 1,518,120). Fujian Shengrong has no operations prior to May 30, 2018. On May 30, 2018, Hubei Shengrong and two unrelated entities entered into certain Capital Transfer and Contribution Agreement pursuant to which these two entities shall contribute cash of approximately USD 5.0 million (RMB 32.0 million) into Fujian Shengrong and Hubei Shengrong shall contribute approximately USD 1.3 million (RMB 8.0 million) which is the consideration for certain technology consulting services to be provided by Hubei Shengrong to the two entities. Upon completion of the contribution, the total registered capital of Fujian Shengrong increased to RMB 40.0 million (approximately USD 6.3 million) and Hubai Shengrong owns 20% and the two entities collectively own 80% of the equity interest of Fujian Shengrong. In August, 2018, Hubei Shengrong transferred 20% equity interest of Fujian Shengrong to Shengrong WFOE. The Company will account for the investment in Fujian Shengrong using the cost method. Since Shengrong WFOE did not provide any cash contribution to Fujian Shengrong or technology services, the investment balance under the cost method investment on March 31, 2019 is $0.

On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Jirong Huang and Qihuang Wang (collectively “Sellers”) and Jiangsu Rong Hai Electric Power Fuel Co., Ltd. (“Rong Hai”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the sale of fuel materials and harbor cargo handling services. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, TMSR shall issue an aggregate of 4,630,000 shares of TMSR’s common stock to the Rong Hai Shareholders, in exchange for Rong Hai Shareholders’ agreement to enter into, and their agreement to cause Rong Hai to enter into, certain VIE Agreements (the “Rong Hai VIE Agreements”) with Shengrong WFOE, through which Shengrong WFOE shall have the right to control, manage and operate Rong Hai in return for a service fee approximately equal to 100% of Rong Hai’s net income (“Acquisition”). On November 30, 2018, Shengrong WFOE, the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiary, entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Rong Hai and the Rong Hai Shareholders. The VIE Agreements are designed to provide Shengrong WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Rong Hai, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Rong Hai. Rong Hai has the necessary license to carry out coal trading business in China. The Acquisition closed on November 30, 2018. Starting on November 30, 2018, the Company’s business activities added coal wholesales and sales of coke, steels, construction materials, mechanical equipment and steel scrap, of which business activities are carried out in Nantong, Jiang Su Province, PRC.

 

On December 27, 2018, the Company, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) with Hopeway International Enterprises Limited., a private limited company duly organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (the “Hopeway” or “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the EPA, Shengrong WOFE shall sell 100% equity interests in Hubei Shengrong to the Purchaser in exchange for the Purchaser’s agreement (“Consideration”) to irrevocably forfeit and cancel 8,523,320 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), constituting all the shares owned by the Purchaser. The transaction contemplated by the EPA is hereby referred as Disposition. The Company’s decision to dispose of Hubei Shengrong is due to the planning mandates of Wuhan Municipal Government 2018 which manufactures should move away from city’s downtown area. Therefore, due to the policy change, Hubei Shengrong is forced to close the existing facility, relocate and build a new facility, which is expected to take approximately 7-8 years. As a result, Hubei Shengrong will not be able to keep the production running and will generate no income in the foreseeable future. Management believed it is very difficult, if possible at all, to continue manufacturing of solid waste recycling systems. As such, the Company has been actively seeking to dispose Hubei Shengrong while retaining the research and development and sale of solid waste recycling systems business. Upon closing of the Disposition, the Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Hubei Shengrong and as a result, assume all assets and obligations of Hubei Shengrong except the research and development team and intellectual property rights in connection with the solid waste recycling systems business shall be assigned to Shengrong WFOE as part of the Disposition. As Shengrong WFOE has significant continuing involvement in the sale of solid waste recycling systems business and the processed industrial waste materials trading business, this restructuring did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Therefore, the results of operations for Hubei Shengrong were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

Contractual Arrangements

 

Rong Hai is controlled through contractual agreements in lieu of direct equity ownership by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Such contractual arrangements consist of a series of five agreements, consulting services agreement, equity pledge agreement, call option agreement, voting rights proxy agreement, and operating agreement (collectively the “Contractual Arrangements”, which were signed on November 30, 2018).

 

Material terms of each of the Rong Hai VIE Agreements are described below:

 

Consulting Services Agreement  

 

Pursuant to the consulting services agreement between Rong Hai and Shengrong WFOE dated November 30, 2018, Shengrong WFOE has the exclusive right to provide consulting services to Rong Hai relating to Rong Hai’s business, including but not limited to business consulting services, human resources development, and business development. Shengrong WFOE exclusively owns any intellectual property rights arising from the performance of this agreement. Shengrong WFOE has the right to determine the service fees based on Rong Hai’s actual operation on a quarterly basis.

 

This consulting services agreement shall take effect on the date of execution of this consulting services agreement and this consulting services agreement shall be in full force and effective until Rong Hai’s valid operation term expires. Shengrong WFOE may, at its discretion, decide to renew or terminate this consulting services agreement.

In addition, the shareholders of Rong Hai have completed the registration of the equity pledge under the agreement with the competent local authority. If Rong Hai breaches its obligation under the consulting services agreement, Shengrong WFOE, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests.

 

This equity pledge agreement shall take effect on the date of execution of this equity pledge agreement and this equity pledge agreement shall be in full force and effective until Rong Hai and Shengrong WFOE’s satisfaction of all contractual obligations and settlement of all secured indebtedness.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2019.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company include the accounts of TMSR and its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIE. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of intangible assets, deferred revenues and plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of receivables, inventory valuation allowance, present value of lease liabilities and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation and transaction

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company in China conducts its businesses in the local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period. The statement of income accounts are translated at the average translation rates and the equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

10

 

 

Translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to $768,098 and $720,693 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were translated at 6.87 RMB and 6.88 RMB to $1.00, respectively. The shareholders’ equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to statement of income accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were 6.78 RMB and 6.37 RMB, respectively. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Company because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.

 

Accounts receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts may be established and recorded based on management’s assessment of potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $776,445 and $732,846 were recorded for allowance for doubtful accounts, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are comprised of raw materials and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in-first-out method in Shengrong WFOE and weighted average method in Wuhan HOST and Rong Hai. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value at least annually and records a reserve against the inventory when the carrying value exceeds net realizable value. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value were recorded for allowance.

 

Prepayments

 

Prepayments are funds deposited or advanced to outside vendors for future inventory or services purchases. As a standard practice in China, many of the Company’s vendors require a certain amount to be deposited with them as a guarantee that the Company will complete its purchases on a timely basis. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. The Company has legally binding contracts with its vendors, which require any outstanding prepayments to be returned to the Company when the contract ends.

  

Plant and equipment, net

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method after consideration of the estimated useful lives of the assets and estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives and residual value are as follows:

 

    Useful Life   Estimated Residual Value  
Building   5 – 20 years     5 %
Office equipment and furnishing   5 years     5 %
Production equipment   3-10 years     5 %
Automobile   5 years     5 %
Leasehold improvements   Shorter of the remaining lease terms or estimated useful lives     0 %

 

11

 

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

 

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets (right of use) and lease obligations (lease liability) for leases previously classified as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles on the balance sheet for leases with terms in excess of 12 months. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of the adoption on January 1, 2019 increased the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by approximately $317,000.

 

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets represent land use rights and patents, and they are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Research and development costs associated with internally developed patents are expensed when incurred. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. All land in the PRC is owned by the government; however, the government grants “land use rights.” The Company has obtained the rights to use various parcels of land. The patents have finite useful lives and are amortized using a straight-line method that reflects the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are to be consumed. The Company amortizes the cost of the land use rights and patents, over their useful life using the straight-line method. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

    Useful Life
Land use rights   50 years
Patents   10 - 20 years

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no impairment of goodwill was recognized.

 

Impairment for long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, including plant, equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

 

12

 

 

Fair value measurement

 

The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, short term loans and taxes payable to approximate their fair values because of their short term nature.

 

The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. 
     
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. 
     
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

 

Customer deposits 

 

In Shengrong WFOE, customer deposits represent amounts advanced by customers on product orders. Generally, the Company requires 3% to 10% advanced deposits from the customers upon the signing of the sales contracts. At various stages of the sales contract execution, the Company generally collects certain amounts of advanced deposits from the customers based on the approximate amount of cash flows needed at each stage. Customer deposits are reduced when the related sale is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

 

In Wuhan HOST, customer deposits represent amounts advanced by customers on product orders. Generally, the Company requires 95% to 100% advanced deposits from the customers upon signing of the sales contracts. A few customers with good credit history are not required to make any deposit. Customer deposits are reduced when the related sale is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

 

Revenue recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  This did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue, other than retainage revenues, was recognized based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations. However, the impact of the Company’s retainage revenue was not material as of the date of adoption, and as a result, did not result in an adjustment.

 

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.  The Company’s revenue streams are primarily recognized at a point in time except for the retainage revenues where the retainage periods are recognized over the retainage period, usually is a period of twelve months.

 

13

 

 

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition except its retainage revenues.

 

An entity will also be required to determine if it controls the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine if it should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. Principal arrangements, where the entity controls the goods or services provided, will result in the recognition of the gross amount of consideration expected in the exchange. Agent arrangements, where the entity simply arranges but does not control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, will result in the recognition of the net amount the entity is entitled to retain in the exchange.

 

Revenue from equipment and systems, revenue from coating and fuel materials, and revenue from trading and others are recognized at the date of goods delivered and title passed to customers, when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the Company has no other significant obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied under the new five-step model. In addition, training service revenues are recognized when the services are rendered and the Company has no other obligations, and collectability is reasonably assured. These revenues are recognized at a point in time.

 

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company allowed its customers to retain 5% to 10% of the contract price as warranty retainage during the retainage period of 12 months to guarantee product quality. Retainage is considered as a payment term included as a part of the contract price, and was recognized as revenue upon the shipment of products. Due to nature of the retainage, the Company’s policy is to record revenue the full value of the contract without VAT, including any retainage, since the Company has experienced insignificant warranty retainage claims historically. Due to the infrequent and insignificant amount of warranty retainage claims, the ability to collect retainage was reasonably assured and was recognized at the time of shipment. On January 1, 2018, upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09 (ASC 606), revenues from product warranty retainage are recognized over the retainage period over 12 months. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, less than 5% of our retainage revenues were recognized in our consolidated revenues and included in the Company’s equipment and systems revenues in the accompanying statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits.

 

The Company’s disaggregate revenue streams are summarized as follows:

Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting

 

Starting from July 2016, in the normal course of the Company’s trading of industrial waste materials business, the Company directly purchases the processed industrial waste materials from the Company’s suppliers under the Company’s specifications and drop ships the materials directly to the Company’s customers. The Company would inspect the materials at its customers’ site, during which inspection it temporarily assumes legal title to the materials, and after which inspection legal title is transferred to its customers. In these situations, the Company generally collects the sales proceed directly from the Company’s customers and pay for the inventory purchases to the Company’s suppliers separately. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on the Company’s assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction. In determining whether the Company is the principal or an agent, the Company follows the new accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations. Since the Company is the primary obligor and is responsible for (i) fulfilling the processed industrial waste materials delivery, (ii) controlling the inventory by temporarily assume legal title to the materials after inspecting the products from our vendors before passing the materials to our customers, and (iii) bearing the back-end risk of inventory loss with respect to any product return from the Company’s customers, the Company has concluded that it is the principal in these arrangements, and therefore report revenues and cost of revenues on a gross basis.

 

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses

 

Research and development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses paid to the Company’s research and product development personnel while they are working on R&D projects, as well as raw materials used for the R&D projects. R&D expenses incurred by the Company are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $219,675 and $129,821 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred taxes is accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

 

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company incurred no such penalties and interest for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s PRC tax returns filed for 2015, 2016 and 2017 remain subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

 

Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares. 9,079,348 and 10,500,000 of outstanding warrants which is equivalent to convertible of 4,539,674 and 5,250,000 common shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to its antidilutive effect for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 824,000 of outstanding options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to its antidilutive effect for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

 

Note 3 – Business combination and restructuring

 

TJ Comex BVI

 

On April 2, 2018, the Company disposed of its subsidiary, TJComex BVI, in consideration of (i) its minimum contribution to the Company’s results of operation and (ii) the unsatisfactory synergy between the TJComex BVI business and the rest of the Company’s business. The Company’s decision to dispose TJComex BVI is to (i) improve the Company’s overall financial condition and results of operations, (ii) reduce the complexity of the Company’s business, (iii) focus the Company’s resources on the solid waste recycling business as well as developing environmental control business opportunities; and (iv) make it possible for the Company to pursue acquisition opportunities for more compatible business. TJComex BVI was disposed to Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the Chief Executive Officer and director of China Sunlong, for no consideration.

 

As of April 2, 2018, the net assets of TJComex BVI were $16,598 and will be recorded as a loss from disposal of subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. As TJComex BVI operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s revenue and the disposal did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for TJComex BVI were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

 

Wuhan HOST

 

On April 11, 2018, the Company, Shengrong WFOE and Hubei Shengrong, both of which are the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Purchasers”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Long Liao, Chunyong Zheng, Wuhan Modern Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Hubei Zhonggong Materials Group Co., Ltd. (collectively “Sellers” ) and Wuhan HOST Coating Materials Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan HOST”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the research, development, production and sale of coating materials. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Wuhan Host (the “Acquisition”). In exchange for the transfer of 100% equity interest of Wuhan Host, Purchasers shall pay a total consideration of $11.2 million (“Total Consideration”), of which $ 5.2 million or RMB equivalent shall be paid in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and $6.0 million shall be paid in shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001, of TMSR (“Share Consideration”). The Parties agree the Share Consideration shall be an aggregate of 1,293,104 shares of common stock of which is based on the closing price of US$4.64 on March 27, 2018. The Share Consideration shall be issued in three equal installments, which shall be subject to lock-up of 12, 24 and 36 months, respectively. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for acquisitions of this type. The Acquisition closed on May 1, 2018.

 

16

 

 

On August 16, 2018, The Purchasers and the Sellers entered into a supplement agreement (“Supplement Agreement”), which modified the terms of consideration set forth in the Purchase Agreement entered between Purchasers and Sellers on April 11, 2018. Pursuant to the Supplement Agreement, in exchange for the transfer of 100% equity interest of Wuhan Host, Purchasers shall pay a total consideration of $11.2 million (“Total Consideration”), of which $6.5 million or RMB equivalent shall be paid in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and $4.7 million shall be paid in shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001, of TMSR (“Share Consideration”). In the Supplement Agreement, both Purchasers and Sellers also agreed to delete the section 3.3 of the Share Purchase Agreement, a section that stipulates the Share Consideration shall be issued in three equal installments.

 

The Company’s acquisition of Wuhan HOST was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has allocated the purchase price of Wuhan HOST based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Other current assets and current liabilities were valued using the cost approach. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, plant and equipment, and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from independent appraisers. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which represents the net purchase price allocation at the date of the acquisition of Wuhan HOST based on a valuation performed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company:

 

Total consideration at fair value  $11,200,000 

 

   Fair Value 
Cash  $276,626 
Other current assets   6,763,767 
Plant and equipment   6,499,268 
Other noncurrent assets   2,139,987 
Goodwill   7,544,008 
Total asset   23,223,656 
Total liabilities   (12,023,656)
Net asset acquired  $11,200,000 

 

Approximately $7.5 million of goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of synergies expected from combining the operations of the Company and Wuhan HOST. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

Rong Hai

 

On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Jirong Huang and Qihuang Wang (collectively “Sellers”) and Jiangsu Rong Hai Electric Power Fuel Co., Ltd. (“Rong Hai”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the sale of fuel materials and harbor cargo handling services. Pursuant to the SPA, TMSR shall issue an aggregate of 4,630,000 shares of TMSR’s common stock to the Rong Hai Shareholders, in exchange for Rong Hai Shareholders’ agreement to enter into, and their agreement to cause Rong Hai to enter into, certain VIE Agreements (the “Rong Hai VIE Agreements”) with Shengrong WFOE, through which Shengrong WFOE shall have the right to control, manage and operate Rong Hai in return for a service fee approximately equal to 100% of Rong Hai’s net income (“Acquisition”). On November 30, 2018, Shengrong WFOE, the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiary, entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Rong Hai and the Rong Hai Shareholders. The VIE Agreements are designed to provide WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Rong Hai, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Rong Hai. Rong Hai has the necessary license to carry out coal trading business in China. The Acquisition closed on November 30, 2018.

The Company’s acquisition of Rong Hai was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has allocated the purchase price of Rong Hai based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Other current assets and current liabilities were valued using the cost approach. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, plant and equipment, and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from independent appraisers. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which represents the net purchase price allocation at the date of the acquisition of Rong Hai based on a valuation performed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company:

 

Total consideration at fair value  $9,260,000 

 

   Fair Value 
Cash  $717,056 
Other current assets   5,980,230 
Plant and equipment   28,875 
Other noncurrent assets   116,655 
Goodwill   7,307,470 
Total asset   14,150,286 
Total liabilities   (4,890,286)
Net asset acquired  $9,260,000

Hubei Shengrong

 

On December 27, 2018, the Company, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) with Hopeway International Enterprises Limited., a private limited company duly organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (the “Hopeway” or “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the EPA, Shengrong WOFE shall sell 100% equity interests in Hubei Shengrong to the Purchaser in exchange for the Purchaser’s agreement (“Consideration”) to irrevocably forfeit and cancel 8,523,320 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), constituting all the shares owned by the Purchaser. The transaction contemplated by the EPA is hereby referred as Disposition. The Company’s decision to dispose of Hubei Shengrong is due to the planning mandates of Wuhan Municipal Government 2018 which manufactures should move away from city’s downtown area. Therefore, due to the policy change, Hubei Shengrong is forced to close the existing facility, relocate and build a new facility, which is expected to take approximately 7-8 years. As a result, Hubei Shengrong will not be able to keep the production running and will generate no income in the foreseeable future. Management believed it is very difficult, if possible at all, to continue manufacturing of solid waste recycling systems. As such, the Company has been actively seeking to dispose Hubei Shengrong while retaining the research and development and sale of solid waste recycling systems business. Upon closing of the Disposition, the Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Hubei Shengrong and as a result, assume all assets and obligations of Hubei Shengrong except the research and development team and intellectual property rights in connection with the solid waste recycling systems business shall be assigned to Shengrong WFOE as part of the Disposition. As Shengrong WFOE has significant continuing involvement in the sale of solid waste recycling systems business and the processed industrial waste materials trading business, the results of operations for Hubei Shengrong were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

Hopeway is jointly owned by Ms. Jiazhen Li, the Company’s chief executive officer, and Mr. Xiaonian Zhang, the Company’s president and director. As Hopeway is a related party under common control with the Company under Ms. Li and Mr. Zhang, no gain or loss are recognized in this disposition and the net consideration of the transaction are recognized as addition to capital as opposed to a gain. Total fair value of the consideration of the cancelled 8,523,320 shares of common stock was determined by using the average closing stock price of the Company held by Hopeway during the period from February 6, 2018 to December 27, 2018 at $3.56 per share.

 

As of December 27, 2018, the net assets of Hubei Shengrong and reconciliation of reduction of capital are as follows:

Note 4 – Variable interest entity

 

On November 30, 2018, Shengrong WFOE entered into Contractual Arrangements with Rong Hai and its shareholders upon executing of the “Purchase Agreement”. The significant terms of these Contractual Arrangements are summarized in “Note 1 - Nature of business and organization” above. As a result, the Company classifies Rong Hai as VIE.

 

A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Shengrong WFOE is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Rong Hai because it has both of the following characteristics:

 

(1) The power to direct activities at Hong Hai that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and

 

(2) The obligation to absorb losses of, and the right to receive benefits from Hong Hai that could potentially be significant to such entity.

 

Accordingly, the accounts of Hong Hai are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10, Consolidation. In addition, their financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on November 30, 2018.

 

The carrying amount of the VIE’s assets and liabilities are as follows: 

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2019   2018

Note 12 – Taxes

 

Income tax

 

United States

 

TMSR was organized in the state of Delaware in April 2015 and re-incorporated in the state of Nevada in June 2018. TMSR’s U.S. net operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to approximately $651,000. As of June 30, 2019, TMSR’s net operating loss carry forward for United States income taxes was approximately $700,000. The net operating loss carry forwards are available to reduce future years’ taxable income through year 2038. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s operating history and continued losses in the United States. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to zero. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes changes accordingly.

 

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“The 2017 Tax Act”) was enacted in the United States. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 34% to 21%. The 2017 Tax Act imposed a global intangible low-taxed income tax (“GILTI”), which is a new tax on certain off-shore earnings at an effective rate of 10.5% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 (increasing to 13.125% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025) with a partial offset for foreign tax credits. The Company determined that there are no impact of GILTI for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, which the Company believes that it will be imposed a minimum tax rate of 10.5% and to the extent foreign tax credits are available to reduce its US corporate tax, which may result in no additional US federal income tax being due.

 

Cayman Islands

 

China Sunlong is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and are not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current Cayman Islands law. In addition, upon payments of dividends by China Sunlong to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

The applicable tax rate is 16.5% in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax law, Shengrong HK is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

Note 13 – Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the package of practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. The impact of the adoption on January 1, 2019 increased the right-of-uses and lease liabilities by approximately $310,000.

 

The Company had an office lease agreement with a 5-year lease term starting in December 2016 until December 2021 and another office lease agreement with a 5-year lease term starting in January 2018 until January 2023. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized lease labilities of approximately $310,000, with corresponding Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of the same amount based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of the new lease, using an effective interest rate of 4.75%, which is determined using an incremental borrowing rate.

 

The weighted average remaining lease term of its existing leases is 3.22 years.

 

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, rent expenses amounted to $ 24,941 and $ 46,510, respectively.

Note 14 – Concentration of risk

 

Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.

While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

 

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, thereby exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

Note 15 – Equity

 

Restricted net assets

 

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by Shengrong WFOE only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of Shengrong WFOE.

 

Shengrong WFOE, Wuhan HOST, Rong Hai are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, Shengrong WFOE may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund at its discretion. Wuhan HOST and Rong Hai may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

 

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Shengrong WFOE, Wuhan HOST, and Rong Hai, collectively attributed $0 of retained earnings for their statutory reserves as they have accumulated losses.

 

As a result of the foregoing restrictions, Shengrong WFOE, Wuhan Host and Rong Hai are restricted in their ability to transfer their net assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulation in the PRC may further restrict Shengrong WFOE, Wuhan Host and Rong Hai from transferring funds to China Sunlong in the form of dividends, loans and advances. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, amounts restricted are the net assets of Shengrong WFOE, Wuhan Host and Rong Hai which amounted to $3,148,877 and $2,347,967, respectively.

The net proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $2.9 million. 

 

Warrants and options

 

On July 29, 2015, the Company sold 10,000,000 units at a purchase price of $5.00 per unit (“Public Units”) in its initial public offering. Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one-half of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.88 per half share ($5.75 per whole share). Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants will become exercisable on 30 days after the consummation of its initial Business Combination with China Sunlong on February 6, 2018. The warrants will expire February 5, 2023. The warrants will be redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon 30 days prior written notice after the warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.

 

The sponsor of the Company purchased, simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering on July 29, 2015, 500,000 units at $5.00 per unit in a private placement for an aggregate price of $2,500,000. Each unit purchased is substantially identical to the units sold in the Public Offering.

 

The Company sold to the underwriter (and/or its designees), for $100, as additional compensation, an option to purchase up to a total of 800,000 units exercisable at $5.00 per unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $4,000,000) upon the closing of the Public Offering. Since the option is not exercisable until the earliest on the closing the initial Business Combination, the option will effectively represent the right to purchase up to 800,000 shares of common stock and 800,000 warrants to purchase 400,000 shares at $5.75 per full share for an aggregate maximum amount of $6,300,000. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those issued in the Public Offering.

 

In July 2016, the board of directors of the Company appointed two new directors. In August 2016, the sponsor of the Company granted an option to each of the two new directors to acquire 12,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.90 per share vested immediately and exercisable commencing six months after closing of the initial Business Combination and expiring five years from the closing of the initial Business Combination.

 

The aforementioned warrants and options are deemed to be effective on February 6, 2018, the date of the consummation of its initial business combination with China Sunlong, as the Company was deemed to be the accounting acquiree in the transaction and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of China Sunlong.

All monetary figures are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; change in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; the risk of foreign currency exchange rate; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Overview

 

TMSR Holding Company Limited (the “Company” or “TMSR”), formerly known as JM Global Holding Company (“JM Global”), was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 2015. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets (“Business Combination”). On June 20, 2018, TMSR consummated the reincorporation. As a result, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada, and implemented a 2-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Forward Split). The reincorporation and Forward Split were approved by shareholders holding the majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of TMSR on June 1, 2018 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

China Sunlong Environmental Technology Inc. (“China Sunlong”) is a holding company incorporated on August 31, 2015, under the laws of the Cayman Islands. China Sunlong has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding share capital of Shengrong Environmental Protection Holding Company Limited (“Shengrong BVI”). Shengrong BVI, a business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on June 30, 2015, is a holding company for Hong Kong Shengrong Environmental Technology Limited, a Hong Kong registered company (“Shengrong HK”) incorporated on September 25, 2015, which in turn owns 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Shengrong Environmental Protection Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd., a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise registered in Hubei, China (“Shengrong WFOE”), which in turn, since March 2016, has owned 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Hubei Shengrong Environmental Protection Energy-Saving Science and Technology Co. Ltd., a registered company in Hubei, China (“Hubei Shengrong”). We refer to Shengrong BVI and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively as “China Sunlong” or the “Company”.

 

Hubei Shengrong was formed in 2009. Since inception, the company has been focused on the research, development, production and sale of an array of solid waste recycling systems for the mining and industrial sectors in the PRC. Hubei Shengrong’s waste recycling systems provide end users in these markets with a cleaner alternative to traditional waste disposal by significantly reducing solid waste disposed into the environment, and enables end users to extract value from valuable metals and other industrial waste materials in waste disposals.

On February 6, 2018, China Sunlong Environmental Technology Inc. (“China Sunlong”) consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) with JM Global pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated as August 28, 2017 by and among (i) JM Global; (ii) Zhong Hui Holding Limited; (iii) China Sunlong; (iv) each of the shareholders of China Sunlong named on Annex I of the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Sellers”); and (v) Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who was the Chief Executive Officer and director of China Sunlong, in the capacity as the representative for the Sellers. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, JM Global acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China Sunlong in exchange for 8,995,428 newly-issued shares of common stock of JM Global to the Sellers. The 899,544 shares of these newly-issued shares would be held in escrow for 18 months from the closing date of the Business Combination as a security for China Sunlong and the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement. This transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of China Sunlong owned the majority of the outstanding shares of JM Global immediately following the completion of the transaction and JM Global’s operations became the operations of China Sunlong following the transaction. Accordingly, China Sunlong was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of China Sunlong.

 

On October 10, 2017, Hubei Shengrong established a fully owned subsidiary, Fujian Shengrong Environmental Protection Energy-Saving Science and Technology Ltd. (“Fujian Shengrong”), with registered capital of approximately USD 1,518,120 (RMB 10,000,000), to be fully funded by October 10, 2019. Prior to the Company executing the ownership transfer and capital contribution agreement (“Agreement”) on May 30, 2018, Fujian Shengrong had no operations prior to May 30, 2018. Fujian Shengrong was a shell company. On May 30, 2018, Hubei Shengrong signed an Agreement with two unrelated entities for which Hubei Shengrong transferred 80% ownership interest in Fujian Shengrong to these two entities. In return, these two entities were required to contribute cash of approximately USD 5.0 million (RMB 32.0 million) into Fujian Shengrong to acquire the 80% ownership interest and Hubei Shengrong was required to provide approximately USD 1.3 million (RMB 8.0 million) worth of technology services for the Company as a contribution, or 20% of investment, for a total of USD 6.3 million (RMB 40.0 million). As a result, the total investment was changed to 20%, the Company accounted for the investment in Fujian Shengrong using the cost method. Due to that Hubei Shengrong did not provide any cash contribution or technology services to Fujian Shengrong, the investment balance under the cost method investment on December 31, 2018 was $0.

 

On April 2, 2018, the Company disposed of its subsidiary, TJComex International Group Corporation (“TJComex BVI”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, in consideration of (i) its minimum contribution to the Company’s results of operation, and (ii) the unsatisfactory synergy between the TJComex BVI business and the rest of the Company’s business. The Company’s made the decision to dispose TJComex BVI to (i) improve the Company’s overall financial condition and results of operations, (ii) reduce the complexity of the Company’s business, (iii) focus the Company’s resources on the solid waste recycling business as well as developing environmental control business opportunities; and (iv) make it possible for the Company to pursue acquisition opportunities for more compatible business. TJComex BVI was transferred to Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the director of China Sunlong. As of April 2, 2018, the net assets of TJComex BVI were valued at $16,598, which was recorded as a loss from the disposal of a subsidiary in the December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements. As TJComex BVI’s operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s revenue and the disposal did not constitute a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for TJComex BVI were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

 

On April 11, 2018, the Company, Shengrong WFOE and Hubei Shengrong, both of which are the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Purchasers”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Long Liao, Chunyong Zheng, Wuhan Modern Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Hubei Zhonggong Materials Group Co., Ltd. (collectively “Sellers” ) and Wuhan HOST Coating Materials Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan HOST”), a company incorporated in China engaged in the research and development, production and sale of coating materials. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Wuhan Host (the “Acquisition”). In exchange for the transfer of 100% equity interest of Wuhan Host, Purchasers paid a total consideration of $11.2 million (“Total Consideration”), of which $ 5.2 million or RMB equivalent was paid in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and $6.0 million was paid in shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001, of TMSR (“Share Consideration”). The Parties agreed the Share Consideration was 1,293,104 shares of common stock based on the closing price of US$4.64 on March 27, 2018. The Share Consideration would be issued in three equal installments, and subject to lock-ups of 12, 24 and 36 months, respectively. The acquisition was closed on May 1, 2018, since when the Company’s business activities added research, development, production and sale of coating materials. 

 

On August 16, 2018, the Company, Shengrong WFOE and Hubei Shengrong, both of which are the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Purchasers”), and Long Liao, Chunyong Zheng, Wuhan Modern Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Hubei Zhonggong Materials Group Co., Ltd. and Wuhan HOST Coating Materials Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan HOST”) (collectively “Sellers” ), entered into a supplement agreement (“Supplement Agreement”), which modified the terms of consideration set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement entered between Purchasers and Sellers on April 11, 2018. Pursuant to the Supplement Agreement, in exchange for the transfer of 100% equity interest of Wuhan Host, Purchasers shall pay a total consideration of $11.2 million (“Total Consideration”), of which $ 6.5 million or RMB equivalent shall be paid in cash (“Cash Consideration”) and $4.7 million shall be paid in shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001, of TMSR (“Share Consideration”). In the Supplement Agreement, both Purchasers and Sellers also agreed to delete the section 3.3 of the Share Purchase Agreement, a section that stipulates the Share Consideration shall be issued in three equal installments.

On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Jirong Huang and Qihuang Wang (collectively “Sellers”) and Jiangsu Rong Hai Electric Power Fuel Co., Ltd. (“Rong Hai”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the sale of fuel materials and harbor cargo handling services. Pursuant to the SPA, TMSR shall issue an aggregate of 4,630,000 shares of TMSR’s common stock to the Rong Hai Shareholders, in exchange for Rong Hai Shareholders’ agreement to enter into, and their agreement to cause Rong Hai to enter into, certain VIE Agreements (the “Rong Hai VIE Agreements”) with Shengrong WFOE, through which WFOE shall have the right to control, manage and operate Rong Hai in return for a service fee approximately equal to 100% of Rong Hai’s net income (“Acquisition”). On November 30, 2018, Shengrong WFOE, the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiary, entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Rong Hai and the Rong Hai Shareholders. The VIE Agreements are designed to provide WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Rong Hai, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Rong Hai. Rong Hai has the necessary license to carry out coal trading business in China. The Acquisition closed on November 30, 2018. Starting on November 30, 2018, the Company’s business activities added coal wholesales and sales of coke, steels, construction materials, mechanical equipment and steel scrap, of which business activities are carried out in Nantong, Jiang Su Province, PRC.

 

On December 27, 2018, the Company, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) with Hopeway International Enterprises Limited., a private limited company duly organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (the “Hopeway” or “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the EPA, Shengrong WOFE shall sell 100% equity interests in Hubei Shengrong to the Purchaser in exchange for the Purchaser’s agreement (“Consideration”) to irrevocably forfeit and cancel 8,523,320 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), constituting all the shares owned by the Purchaser. The transaction contemplated by the EPA is hereby referred as Disposition. The Company’s decision to dispose of Hubei Shengrong is due to the Wuhan Municipal Government’s policy change that Hubei Shengrong is forced to close the existing facility, relocate and build a new facility, which is expected to take approximately 7-8 years. As a result, Hubei Shengrong will not be able to keep the production running and will generate no income in the foreseeable future. Management believed it is very difficult, if possible at all, to continue manufacturing of solid waste recycling systems. As such, the Company has been actively seeking to dispose Hubei Shengrong while retaining the research and development and sale of solid waste recycling systems business. Upon closing of the Disposition, the Purchaser will become the sole shareholder of Hubei Shengrong and as a result, assume all assets and obligations of Hubei Shengrong except the research and development team and intellectual property rights in connection with the solid waste recycling systems business shall be assigned to Shengrong WFOE as part of the Disposition. As Shengrong WFOE has significant continuing involvement in the sale of solid waste recycling systems business and the processed industrial waste materials trading business, the results of operations for Hubei Shengrong were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

 

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

 

Management has observed the trends and uncertainties of government efforts to control the industrial solid wastes discharge, which we believe may have a direct impact on our operations in the near future.

 

Although the PRC economy has grown in recent years, the pace of growth has slowed, and even that rate of growth may not continue. According to the National Bureau of Statistics in China (“NBS”), the annual rate of growth in the PRC declined from 7.7% in 2013 to 7.4% in 2014, 6.9% in 2015, 6.7% in 2016, and 6.9% in 2017 and dropped to 6.6% in 2018. The expected growth rate in 2019 will be 6.2%. A further slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC may materially reduce the demand for the combined company’s selling of coating and fuel materials and may have a materially adverse effect on its business.

  

Our operating subsidiaries are incorporated, and our operations and assets are primarily located, in China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are affected by China’s economic and regulation conditions in the following factors: (a) an economic downturn in China or any regional market in China; (b) economic policies and initiatives undertaken by the Chinese government; (c) changes in the Chinese or regional business or regulatory environment affecting our customers; and (e) Changes in the Chinese government policy on industrial solid waste. Unfavorable changes could affect demand for services that we provide and could materially and adversely affect the results of operations. Although the Company has generally benefited from China’s economic growth and the policies to encourage the improvement of reducing of solid waste discharge, the Company is also affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in the Chinese economic conditions and regulations governing the mining industry.

 

Our recycling systems and equipment operations are largely affected by the testing result of installed solid waste recycling systems and equipment. If an installed solid waste recycling system or equipment cannot meet the acceptance standards stated on the sales contract, which usually include the outlook of the systems and equipment, the recycled rate of low magnetic catalysts and the physical and chemical index of low magnetic catalysts, then we need to adjust the systems and equipment until their performance meets the acceptance standards. Only after the testing results meet the standards, the products can be considered delivered and title passed to customers, and we can recognize sales.

 

34

 

 

Our fuel materials, mainly coal, operations are largely affected by the following aspects. First, the PRC’s macroeconomic growth is not as fast as expected; the slowdown of economic growth will affect the demand of the market, and the reduction of coal consumption by enterprises will affect the sales of coal and directly affect our earnings. Second, the coal market price fluctuation will also affect our sales revenue; because Jiangsu Rong Hai has long-term and stable customers, the price fluctuations will affect the cost of purchasing coal and thus affect our revenue. Third, the risk of price fluctuation in the shipping industry. The fluctuation of shipping price will also directly affect the fluctuation of coal market price, thus affecting our income. Fourth, we have long-term and stable customers and continues to rely on a small number of customers from 2009 to 2018. Losing our major customers will have a significant impact on our results of operations. In addition, the payment situation of these customers will be affected by abnormal market changes, which will have a negative impact on our business recovery accounts and cash flow.

Revenues

 

The Company’s revenue consists of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue, coating and fuel materials revenue, and trading and others revenue. Total revenues increased by approximately $3.5 million, or approximately 37.2%, to approximately $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The overall increase in total revenue was attributable to the increased sales of coating materials after the acquisition of Wuhan HOST and increased sales of fuel materials after the acquisition of Rong Hai and offset by the decreased sales of solid waste recycling systems and equipment and trading industrial waste materials.

 

Equipment and Systems Revenue

 

Revenue of solid waste recycling systems and equipment decreased by approximately $4.8 million, or 61.9%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in revenues was due to the decrease of solid waste recycling equipment and systems orders. As we restructured Shengrong WFOE, we were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business. As a result, Shengrong WFOE did not generate any new equipment and systems revenue in the first two quarters of 2019. Once the suitable vendors are located, we expect our revenues will be on a rise again. Our revenues from solid waste recycling systems and equipment on numbers of units sold and built and its average selling price are summarized as follows:

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 5 units of solid waste recycling equipment with an average selling price of $ 594,308 per unit as compared to 4 units sold with an average selling price of $522,915 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in units sold of 1 units or 25.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 were mainly due to that Shengrong WFOE were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business after the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan.

  

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we did not sell any solid waste recycling system infrastructure as compared to 1 units sold with an average selling price of $5,713,196 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in units sold of 1 units or 100.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 were mainly due to that Shengrong WFOE were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business after the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan.

 

Coating and Fuel Revenue

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 774,747 kilograms of coating materials with an average selling price of approximately $2.49 per kilogram and sold 88,960 tons of coal with an average selling price of approximately $ 88.71 per ton. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 490,535 kilograms of coating materials with an average selling price of approximately $2.26 per kilogram .We had not yet acquired Rong Hai by June 30, 2018, so no coal business operations during the second quarter in 2018.

 

Trading and Others Revenue

 

Revenues of trading of industrial waste materials and other general merchandises increased by approximately $60,000 or 14.4%, to approximately $473,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $413,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenues was attributable to the increased amount of industrial waste materials traded and we included three month harbor cargo handling revenue after the acquisition of Rong Hai during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Our revenues from trading of industrial waste materials and others revenues are summarized as follows:

Starting from July 2016, we commenced our industrial waste materials trading business, pursuant to which we directly order the processed industrial waste materials from our suppliers of industrial waste materials, then under our specifications per contract, drop ship the processed industrial waste materials directly to our customers. We inspect the materials at our industrial waste materials customers’ site, during which inspection we temporarily assume legal title to the materials, and after which inspection legal title is transferred to the customers. In these situations, we generally collect the sales proceed directly from our customers and pay for the inventory purchases to our suppliers separately.

  

We started our trading of industrial waste materials business mainly due to the opportunity that existed in the marketplace, as the end users of our solid waste recycling equipment, also referred to as our equipment end users, while in the process of using our solid waste recycling equipment to clean and extract waste from mines and job sites, may also extract and separate certain valuable metals from other industrial waste materials. We recognize that there is a market for these metals and waste materials and as a result, we connect our equipment end users who sell the byproduct of materials they produce to our industrial waste materials suppliers who have the capability of processing such solid waste materials into powder and directly ship such products to our industrial waste materials customers. This type of trading business is related to our solid waste recycling systems and equipment business because the end users of our solid waste recycling equipment only use our equipment to extract the valuable metals and chemicals for their needs. These end users do not need the residual materials generated as a byproduct of extraction and considered to be industrial waste materials. As a result, we believe our industrial waste material trading business is sustainable as long as our solid waste recycling system and equipment business is sustainable. We strongly believe our solid waste recycling system and equipment business is sustainable because of upcoming favorable energy conservation and emission reduction target-setting policies mandated by the PRC government. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this is a new line of our business that is still in the development stage.

 

Approximately two to three weeks prior to shipment, our suppliers of industrial waste materials will physically process the industrial waste materials at the locations of the equipment end users. These end users are located in different provinces of China, such as Hubei, Sichuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After our industrial waste material suppliers have processed the industrial waste materials per our specifications, they will drop ship the materials by truck, which takes approximately 1 to 5 days, directly to our industrial waste materials customers in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, for our inspection before being inspected and accepted by our customers.

  

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the decrease of revenues from trading industrial waste materials was due to the fact that we did not generate any revenues from trading industrial waste materials as compared to an aggregate of 400 tons of Ilmenite Tailings and Copper Smelting Tailings during the same period in 2018. Our trading of industrial waste materials are dependent on the progress of our recycling equipment end users and when they are able to sell those industrial waste materials to our suppliers to process the waste. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had less resources to trade the aforementioned industrial waste materials as compared to the same period in 2018 as the enterprises who has the resources of the industrial waste materials were closed for production during the year ended December 31, 2018 and during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to inspection from the environment group of the Chinese government until the enterprises were able to pass the environmental inspection, which reduced the resource for our trading of industrial waste material. In addition, Shengrong WFOE were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business after the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan, which we currently do not have new resource to acquire the industrial waste material. . As a result, we did not generate any trading revenue in the second quarter of 2019. Once the suitable vendors are located, we expect our revenues will be on a rise again.

 

We do not believe that we have any competitors to compete with us in the trading of industrial waste materials as their equipment are not as sophisticated as our equipment to extract value from valuable metals and other industrial waste materials. As a result, we do not believe that other potential competitors will have the source of obtaining the industrial waste materials to compete in this business.

 

Our customers who order the industrial waste materials from us are able to manufacture from these processed industrial waste materials and turned them into variety of materials used for decoration, such as plastic wood, interior wall decorative panels and stone plastic imitation wood flooring. The decoration materials made from these processed industrial waste materials are much cheaper than using other environmental friendly raw materials, and generally have better qualities. We evaluate prices of similar raw materials for construction and then set a price with these two customers. We believe our customers might be able to obtain government support and grant for using these industrial waste materials products.

 

In addition, environment risk does not appears to be applied to us since we are assisting the end users of our solid waste recycling equipment to reduce their solid waste discharge and we did not create any environment effect or risk.

 

Our other revenues increased by approximately $473,468, or 100.0%, to approximately $473,468 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the fact that we included three month harbor cargo handling revenue after the acquisition of Rong Hai and the revenue is more than TJComex’s other revenue made during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Cost of Revenues

 

The Company’s cost of revenues consists of cost of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue, cost of coating and fuel materials revenue, and cost of trading and others revenue. Total cost of revenues increased by approximately $2.9 million, or approximately 38.5% to approximately $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $7.6 million for the same period in 2018. Our total cost of revenues increased was because coating and fuel materials generally have a lower profit margin than solid waste recycling equipment and systems.

 

Cost of Equipment and Systems Revenue

 

Cost of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue decreased by approximately $5.4 million, or 81.7% to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $6.6 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in cost of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue was in line with the decreased sales volume of solid waste recycling equipment and systems. Shengrong WFOE did not generate any equipment and systems revenue in the first quarter of 2019, which reduced the cost of such revenue to $0.

 

Cost of Coating and Fuel Materials Revenue

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 774,747 kilograms of coating materials with an average unit cost of approximately $2.1 per kilogram and sold 88,960 tons of coal with an average unit cost of approximately $83.3 per ton. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 490,535 kilograms of coating materials with an average unit cost of approximately $1.36 per kilogram .We had not yet acquired Rong Hai by June 30, 2018, as a result, no coal business operations during the second quarter in 2018.

 

Cost of Trading and Others Revenue

 

Cost of trading of industrial waste materials and others revenue decreased by approximately $39,000 or 13.1%, to approximately $257,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $296,000 for the same period in 2018. The decrease was in line with the decrease in revenues of trading of industrial waste materials and other general merchandises. Our cost of revenues from trading of industrial waste materials and others revenues are summarized as follows:

Gross Profit

 

The Company’s gross profit increased by approximately $0.6 million, or 31.4%, to approximately $2.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, from approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s gross margin was approximately 17.9% and 18.7%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the increase of sales volume of coating and fuel materials as they have a smaller gross margin than solid waste recycling equipment and systems, which in turn, decreased our gross margin percentage from 18.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 17.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The gross margin of coating and fuel materials was approximately 3.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross margin was offset by the newly added business of harbor cargo handling services after our acquisition of Rong Hai in December 2018 and the gross margin of the services was about45.8%.

 

Operating Expenses (Income)

 

The Company’s operating expenses (income) include selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, and recovery of doubtful accounts.

 

SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $0.6 million, by approximately 64.9%, from approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was attributable to the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan. 

 

We provided a provision for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. At the beginning of 2017, we were trying to expand our trading of industrial waste materials business and gaining market shares by granting a 30 days credit term of the revenue to our customers. We did not collect our accounts receivable per credit term as expected. As a result, we started to assess the potential losses and provide provision of allowances on the accounts receivable during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Income (loss) from Operations

 

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $1.6 million, a decrease of approximately $0.7 million, or approximately 31.6%, from approximately $2.3 million income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a percentage of total revenues, income from operations changed to approximately 12.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from approximately 24.6% income from operations during the same period in 2018. The decrease was mostly driven by the increase of revenues from the lower profit margin products, coating and fuel materials and the decrease of revenues from the higher profit margin products, solid waste recycling equipment and systems as discussed above.

 

Other Expense

 

The Company’s other expense consists of interest income, interest expense and other income expense, net. The Company’s other expense was approximately $13,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, an decrease of approximately $59,000, or approximately 81.9%, as compared to other expense of approximately $72,000 during the same period in 2018. The increase of other expense was mainly attributable to the decrease of interest expense of approximately $37,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 after the restructuring of Shengrong WFOE where our bank loans were held.

 

39

 

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company’s provision for income tax was approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $0.4 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in provision for income taxes is in line with the decrease in income before income taxes. Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, companies are generally subject to income tax at a rate of 25%. However, the Company’s 100% subsidiary, Wuhan Host obtained the same status in 2016, which reduced their statutory income tax rate to 15%. Wuhan Host’s “high-tech enterprise” status can reduce its statutory income rate to 15% from 2016 to 2019. We have incurred the acquisition of Wuhan Host lowered the income tax rate, as a result the effective tax rate decreased from 16.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 12.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 26.3%, to approximately $1.3 million net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from approximately $1.8 million net income for the same period in 2018.

Revenues

 

The Company’s revenue consists of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue, coating and fuel materials revenue, and trading and others revenue. Total revenues increased by approximately $3.2 million, or approximately 19.2%, to approximately $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The overall increase in total revenue was attributable to the increased sales of coating materials after the acquisition of Wuhan HOST and increased sales of fuel materials after the acquisition of Rong Hai and offset by the decreased sales of solid waste recycling systems and equipment and trading industrial waste materials.

 

Equipment and Systems Revenue

 

Revenue of solid waste recycling systems and equipment decreased by approximately $11.9 million, or 80.0%, to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in revenues was due to the decrease of solid waste recycling equipment and systems orders. As we restructured Shengrong Wuhan, we were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business. As a result, Shengrong WFOE did not generate any new equipment and systems revenue in the first two quarters of 2019. Our revenues from solid waste recycling systems and equipment on numbers of units sold and built and its average selling price are summarized as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 5 units of solid waste recycling equipment with an average selling price of $ 594,308 per unit as compared to 6 units sold with an average selling price of $513,808 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in units sold of 1 units or 16.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 were mainly due to that Shengrong WFOE were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business after the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan.

  

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we did not sell any solid waste recycling system infrastructure as compared to 3 units sold with an average selling price of $3,934,597 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in units sold of 3 units or 100.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 were mainly due to that Shengrong WFOE were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business after the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan.

 

Coating and Fuel Revenue

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 1,675,268 kilograms of coating materials with an average selling price of approximately $2.49 per kilogram and sold 150,734 tons of coal with an average selling price of approximately $81.50 per ton. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 490,535 kilograms of coating materials with an average selling price of approximately $2.26 per kilogram. We had not yet acquired Rong Hai by June 30, 2018, so no coal business operations during the second quarter in 2018.

 

Trading and Others Revenue

 

Revenues of trading of industrial waste materials and other general merchandises decreased by approximately $191,000 or 23.0%, to approximately $639,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $830,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in revenues was attributable to the decreased amount of industrial waste materials traded during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Our revenues from trading of industrial waste materials and others revenues are summarized as follows:

Starting from July 2016, we commenced our industrial waste materials trading business, pursuant to which we directly order the processed industrial waste materials from our suppliers of industrial waste materials, then under our specifications per contract, drop ship the processed industrial waste materials directly to our customers. We inspect the materials at our industrial waste materials customers’ site, during which inspection we temporarily assume legal title to the materials, and after which inspection legal title is transferred to the customers. In these situations, we generally collect the sales proceed directly from our customers and pay for the inventory purchases to our suppliers separately.

  

We started our trading of industrial waste materials business mainly due to the opportunity that existed in the marketplace, as the end users of our solid waste recycling equipment, also referred to as our equipment end users, while in the process of using our solid waste recycling equipment to clean and extract waste from mines and job sites, may also extract and separate certain valuable metals from other industrial waste materials.

As a result, we believe our industrial waste material trading business is sustainable as long as our solid waste recycling system and equipment business is sustainable. We strongly believe our solid waste recycling system and equipment business is sustainable because of upcoming favorable energy conservation and emission reduction target-setting policies mandated by the PRC government. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this is a new line of our business that is still in the development stage.

 

Approximately two to three weeks prior to shipment, our suppliers of industrial waste materials will physically process the industrial waste materials at the locations of the equipment end users. These end users are located in different provinces of China, such as Hubei, Sichuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After our industrial waste material suppliers have processed the industrial waste materials per our specifications, they will drop ship the materials by truck, which takes approximately 1 to 5 days, directly to our industrial waste materials customers in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, for our inspection before being inspected and accepted by our customers.

  

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the decrease of revenues from trading industrial waste materials was due to the fact that we did not generate any revenues from trading industrial waste materials as compared to an aggregate of 800 tons of Ilmenite Tailings and Copper Smelting Tailings during the same period in 2018. Our trading of industrial waste materials are dependent on the progress of our recycling equipment end users and when they are able to sell those industrial waste materials to our suppliers to process the waste. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had less resources to trade the aforementioned industrial waste materials as compared to the same period in 2018 as the enterprises who has the resources of the industrial waste materials were closed for production during the year ended December 31, 2018 and during the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to inspection from the environment group of the Chinese government until the enterprises were able to pass the environmental inspection, which reduced the resource for our trading of industrial waste material. In addition, Shengrong WFOE were in the process of searching for the suitable vendors to produce our products in 2019 and to continue on our solid waste recycling equipment and systems business after the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan, which we currently do not have new resource to acquire the industrial waste material.

We do not believe that we have any competitors to compete with us in the trading of industrial waste materials as their equipment are not as sophisticated as our equipment to extract value from valuable metals and other industrial waste materials. As a result, we do not believe that other potential competitors will have the source of obtaining the industrial waste materials to compete in this business.

 

Our customers who order the industrial waste materials from us are able to manufacture from these processed industrial waste materials and turned them into variety of materials used for decoration, such as plastic wood, interior wall decorative panels and stone plastic imitation wood flooring. The decoration materials made from these processed industrial waste materials are much cheaper than using other environmental friendly raw materials, and generally have better qualities. We evaluate prices of similar raw materials for construction and then set a price with these two customers.

In addition, environment risk does not appears to be applied to us since we are assisting the end users of our solid waste recycling equipment to reduce their solid waste discharge and we did not create any environment effect or risk.

 

Our other revenues increased by approximately $638,647, or 98,253.4%, to approximately $639,297 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $650 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the fact that we included six month harbor cargo handling revenue after the acquisition of Rong Hai and the revenue is more than TJComex’s other revenue made during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Cost of Revenues

 

The Company’s cost of revenues consists of cost of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue, cost of coating and fuel materials revenue, and cost of trading and others revenue. Total cost of revenues increased by approximately $3.2 million, or approximately 22.2% to approximately $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $14.3 million for the same period in 2018. Our total cost of revenues increased was because coating and fuel materials generally have a lower profit margin than solid waste recycling equipment and systems.

 

Cost of Equipment and Systems Revenue

 

Cost of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue decreased by approximately $11.9 million, or 90.7% to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $13.1 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in cost of solid waste recycling systems and equipment revenue was in line with the decreased sales volume of solid waste recycling equipment and systems.

 

Cost of Coating and Fuel Materials Revenue

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 1,675,268 kilograms of coating materials with an average unit cost of approximately $2.19 per kilogram and sold 150,734 tons of coal with an average unit cost of approximately $81.5 per ton. The average unit cost of coal higher than the selling price during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was because that many coal trading companies stored more coal before the New Year and caused the supply to be more than the demand of coal, so the market selling price of coal dropped sharply in January. We had to sell off our inventory immediately to prevent us from a bigger loss as we are foreseeing a further price drop in the near future. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 490,535 kilograms of coating materials with an average unit cost of approximately $1.36 per kilogram . We had not yet acquired Rong Hai by June 30, 2018, as a result, no coal business operations during the second quarter in 2018.

 

Cost of Trading and Others Revenue

 

Cost of trading of industrial waste materials and others revenue decreased by approximately $276,000 or 46.6%, to approximately $316,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $592,000 for the same period in 2018. The decrease was in line with the decrease in revenues of trading of industrial waste materials and other general merchandises. Our cost of revenues from trading of industrial waste materials and others revenues are summarized as follows:

Gross Profit

 

The Company’s gross profit increased by approximately $55,000, or 2.2%, to approximately $2.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, from approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s gross margin was approximately 12.7% and 14.9%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the increase of sales volume of coating and fuel materials as they have a smaller gross margin than solid waste recycling equipment and systems, which in turn, decreased our gross margin percentage from 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 12.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The gross margin of coating and fuel materials was approximately 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross margin was offset by the newly added business of harbor cargo handling services after our acquisition of Rong Hai in December 2018 and the gross margin of the services was about 50.6%.

 

Operating Expenses (Income)

 

The Company’s operating expenses (income) include selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, and recovery of doubtful accounts.

 

SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million, by approximately 22.9%, from approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was attributable to the restructuring of Shengrong Wuhan.

 

We provided a provision for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. At the beginning of 2017, we were trying to expand our trading of industrial waste materials business and gaining market shares by granting a 30 days credit term of the revenue to our customers. We did not collect our accounts receivable per credit term as expected. As a result, we started to assess the potential losses and provide provision of allowances on the accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

   

Income (loss) from Operations

 

As a result of the foregoing, income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $0.9 million, a decrease of approximately $2.6 million, or approximately 75.7%, from approximately $3.5 million income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As a percentage of total revenues, income from operations changed to approximately 4.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from approximately 20.9% income from operations during the same period in 2018. The decrease was mostly driven by the increase of revenues from the lower profit margin products, coating and fuel materials and the decrease of revenues from the higher profit margin products, solid waste recycling equipment and systems as discussed above.

Other Income (Expense)

 

The Company’s other income (expense) consists of interest income, interest expense and other income (expense), net. The Company’s other income was approximately $20,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $93,000, or approximately 126.5%, as compared to other expense of approximately $73,000 during the same period in 2018. The increase of other income was mainly attributable to the decrease of interest expense of approximately $77,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 after the restructuring of Shengrong WFOE where our bank loans were held.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company’s provision for income tax was approximately $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $0.6 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in provision for income taxes is in line with the decrease in income before income taxes. Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, companies are generally subject to income tax at a rate of 25%. However, the Company’s 100% subsidiary, Wuhan Host obtained the same status in 2016, which reduced their statutory income tax rate to 15%. Wuhan Host’s “high-tech enterprise” status can reduce its statutory income rate to 15% from 2016 to 2019. However, we have incurred approximately $0.7 million of non-deductible expenses for income tax purpose, as a result the effective tax rate increased from 19.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 28.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Net Income

 

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by approximately $2.1 million, or 77.3%, to approximately $0.6 million net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from approximately $2.7 million net income for the same period in 2018.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts may be established and recorded based on management’s assessment of potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

  

Inventories

 

Inventories are comprised of raw materials and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in-first-out method in Shengrong WFOE and weighted average method in Wuhan HOST and Rong Hai. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value at least annually and records a reserve against the inventory when the carrying value exceeds net realizable value.

 

Prepayments

 

Prepayments are funds deposited or advanced to outside vendors for future inventory purchases. As a standard practice in China, many of the Company’s vendors require a certain amount to be deposited with them as a guarantee that the Company will complete its purchases on a timely basis. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. The Company has legally binding contracts with its vendors, which require any outstanding prepayments to be returned to the Company when the contract ends.

 

45

 

 

Fair value measurement

 

The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by us. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, short term loans and taxes payable to approximate their fair values because of their short term nature.

 

The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

 

Revenue recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.  This did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue, other than warranty revenues, was recognized based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations. However, the impact of the Company’s warranty revenue was not material as of the date of adoption, and as a result, did not result in an adjustment.

 

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.  The Company’s revenue streams are primarily recognized at a point in time except for the warranty revenues where the warranty periods are recognized over the warranty period, usually is a period of twelve months.

  

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition except its warranty revenues.

 

An entity will also be required to determine if it controls the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine if it should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. Principal arrangements, where the entity controls the goods or services provided, will result in the recognition of the gross amount of consideration expected in the exchange. Agent arrangements, where the entity simply arranges but does not control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, will result in the recognition of the net amount the entity is entitled to retain in the exchange.

 

Revenue from equipment and systems, revenue from coating and fuel materials, and revenue from trading and others are recognized at the date of goods delivered and title passed to customers, when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the Company has no other significant obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied under the new five-step model. In addition, training service revenues are recognized when the services are rendered and the Company has no other obligations, and collectability is reasonably assured. These revenues are recognized at a point in time. 

 

46

 

 

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company allowed its customers to retain 5% to 10% of the contract price as retainage during the warranty period of 12 months to guarantee product quality. Retainage is considered as a payment term included as a part of the contract price, and was recognized as revenue upon the shipment of products. Due to nature of the retainage, the Company’s policy is to record revenue the full value of the contract without VAT, including any retainage, since the Company has experienced insignificant warranty claims historically. Due to the infrequent and insignificant amount of warranty claims, the ability to collect retainage was reasonably assured and was recognized at the time of shipment. On January 1, 2018, upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09 (ASC 606), revenues from product warranty are recognized over the warranty period over 12 months.

 

Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits.

 

Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting

 

Starting from July 2016, in the normal course of the Company’s trading of industrial waste materials business, the Company directly purchases the processed industrial waste materials from the Company’s suppliers under the Company’s specifications and drop ships the materials directly to the Company’s customers. The Company would inspect the materials at its customers’ site, during which inspection it temporarily assumes legal title to the materials, and after which inspection legal title is transferred to its customers. In these situations, the Company generally collects the sales proceed directly from the Company’s customers and pay for the inventory purchases to the Company’s suppliers separately. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on the Company’s assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction. In determining whether the Company is the principal or an agent, the Company follows the new accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations. Since the Company is the primary obligor and is responsible for (i) fulfilling the processed industrial waste materials delivery, (ii) controlling the inventory by temporarily assume legal title to the materials after inspecting the products from our vendors before passing the materials to our customers, and (iii) bearing the back-end risk of inventory loss with respect to any product return from the Company’s customers, the Company has concluded that it is the principal in these arrangements, and therefore report revenues and cost of revenues on a gross basis.

  

Recently Issue Accounting Pronouncements

  

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. We do not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

We do not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has funded working capital and other capital requirements primarily by equity contributions, loans from shareholders, cash flow from operations, short term bank loans, loans from third parties and cash received from JM Global Holding Company through the reverse capitalization. Cash is required to repay debts and pay salaries, office expenses, income taxes and other operating expenses. As of June 30, 2019, our net working capital was approximately $0.7 million, over 34% of the Company’s current liabilities was from other payables – related parties due to major shareholders. Removing these liabilities, the Company had net working capital of $5.1 million and is expected to continuing generate cash flow from operations in the twelve months period.

 

We believe that current levels of cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements to be issued. However, it may need additional cash resources in the future if it experiences changed business conditions or other developments, and may also need additional cash resources in the future if it wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation or other similar actions. If it is determined that the cash requirements exceed the Company’s amounts of cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company may seek to issue debt or equity securities or obtain additional credit facility. 

 

47

 

 

The following summarizes the key components of the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

  

For the

Six Months ended

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to approximately $0.9 million net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Net cash used in operating activities was mainly due to approximately $0.3 million of depreciation expense of plant and equipment and amortization expense of intangible assets, the increase of approximately $0.6 million accounts payable, the increase of approximately $0.5 million taxes payable, the decrease of approximately $1.8 million other payables and accrued liabilities, and the increase of approximately $0.5 million of customer deposits. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was mainly offset by approximately $0.6 million of net income from our operations, the increase of approximately $0.6 million of notes receivable as our customers used more notes receivable for payment which we needs to wait approximately 3 to 6 months to deposit the notes, the increase of approximately $2.6 million of accounts receivable as we granted more receivables to customers with good credit history, the increase of approximately $0.2 million of other receivables, the increase of approximately $0.3 million of prepayments , and the decrease of approximately $0.6 million of inventories.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is one of the most significant risks for the Company’s business.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash held at major financial institutions located in the PRC are not insured by the government. While we believe that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

 

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, thereby exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Company manages credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the Chinese economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. To minimize credit risk, the Company normally require prepayment from the customers prior to begin production or delivery products. The Company identifies credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. This information is monitored regularly by management.

 

48

 

 

In measuring the credit risk of our sales to our customers, the Company mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the customer and the exposures to the customer and its likely future development.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

 

Inflation Risk

 

The Company is also exposed to inflation risk. Inflationary factors, such as increases in raw material and overhead costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase with such increased costs.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

A majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. 

  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective. 

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
