organized under the laws of the PRC. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company issued 9,388,172 shares of common stock
to Sincere in exchange for all of the outstanding on stock of Talent, and Talent became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Upon completion of the reverse merger, the Company’s business became the business of Talent, its subsidiaries and its affiliated
variable interest entities.
Talent
owns 100% of the stock of Yongle, which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC.
Acquisition
in December 2013
On
December 23, 2013, the Company acquired Golden Ivy Limited, a British Virgin Island company (“BVI Co.,”). Pursuant
to the terms of the acquisition, we issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to the
former shareholders of BVI Co. in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of BVI Co. The shares were issued on
January 16, 2014. BVI Co. then became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The
Business and the facilities related thereto are all located in the People’s Republic of China (“China”). The
Business is conducted by Royal Elite New Energy Science and Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Royal Shanghai”), a
wholly foreign owned enterprise under laws of China. Royal Shanghai is wholly owned by Royal Elite International Limited, a Hong
Kong company, (“Royal HK”), which is wholly owned by BVI Co.
Royal
Shanghai was set up in Shanghai on June 9, 2010. Royal HK was set up in Hong Kong on January 8, 2010.
The
consolidated financial statements presented herein consolidate the financial statements of China Carbon Graphite, Inc. with the
financial statements of its subsidiaries in the following structure chart.
Organizational
Structure Chart
The
following chart sets forth our organizational structure:
Liquidity
and Working Capital Deficit
As
of March 31, 2020 and as of December 31, 2019, the Company managed to operate its business with a negative working capital.
The
Company Law of the PRC applicable to Chinese companies provides that net after tax income should be allocated by the following
rules:
|
1.
|
10%
of after tax income to be allocated to a statutory surplus reserve until the reserve amounts to 50% of the company’s registered
capital.
|
|
2.
|
If
the cumulative balance of statutory surplus reserve is not enough to make up the Company’s cumulative prior years’
losses, the current year’s after tax income should be first used to make up the losses before the statutory surplus reverse
is drawn.
|
|
3.
|
Allocation
can be made to the discretionary surplus reserve, if such a reserve is approved at the meeting of the equity owners.
|
Therefore,
the Company is required to maintain a statutory reserve in China that limits any equity distributions to its shareholders. The
maximum amount of the shareholders has not been reached. The Company has never distributed earnings to shareholders and has no
intentions to do so.
The
outbreak of COVID19 coronavirus in China starting from the beginning of 2020 has resulted reduction of manufacturing hours for
our factory. The Company followed the restrictive measures implemented in China, by suspending operation and having employees
work remotely during February and March 2020. The Company gradually resumed operation and production starting in April 2020. The
demand for our products decreased in February and March 2020. The recent developments of COVID 19 are expected to result in lower
sales and gross margin in 2020. Other financial impact could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time.

Going Concern
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. As of and for the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company has incurred operating losses of $51,442,803
and working capital deficit of $2,541,129. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company
obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital,
it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management’s
Plan to Continue as a Going Concern
In
order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s
plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales
of its products, and (3) short-term or long-term borrowings from banks, stockholders or other party(ies) when needed. However,
management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The Company plans
to look for opportunities to merge with other companies in the graphite industry.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described
in the preceding paragraph and eventually to secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

Basis for Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management
acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated
financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements
included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the year ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2020
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries and variable
interest entity, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
The
Company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), but its reporting currency is U.S. dollars.
The
financial statements have been prepared in order to present the financial position and results of operations of the Company and
its subsidiaries whose financial condition consolidated with the Company pursuant to ASC Topic 810-10, Consolidation, in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(4)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as
described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the significant
estimates include values and lives assigned to acquired property and equipment, reserves for customer returns and allowances,
uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity periods of six months or less to be cash equivalents.
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. Substantially
all of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the PRC and is not protected by FDIC insurance or any other similar
insurance. The Company’s bank account in the United States is protected by FDIC insurance.
Accounts
receivable
Trade
receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance
for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance
for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically
evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments
in the allowance when it is considered necessary.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary
to complete the sale. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially
obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances
based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. Impairment of inventories is recorded in cost
of goods sold.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not made provision for inventory in regards to slow moving or
obsolete items.
Lease
The
Company used comparative method and adopted ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842) to recognize leases assets and lease liabilities on
the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease transactions. All existing leases since January 1, 2018 are reported
under this rule. After the adoption, $38,567 of operating lease right-of-use asset and $38,567 of operating lease liabilities
were retroactively reflected to December 31, 2019 financial statements. After the adoption, $28,701 of operating lease
right-of-use asset and $28,701 of operating lease liabilities were retroactively reflected to March 31, 2020 financial statements.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes
as follows:
Machinery
and equipment
|
|
|
5
years
|
|
Motor
vehicle
|
|
|
5
years
|
|
Expenditures
for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations
in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in
an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized
as an additional cost of the asset.
Upon
sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed
from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The
Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use
and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment
loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by
management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property
is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment
expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and
2019.
Stock-based
compensation
Stock-based
compensation includes (i) common stock awards granted to employees and directors for services which are accounted for under FASB
ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation” and (ii) common stock awards granted to consultants which are accounted
for under FASB ASC 505-50, Equity–Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.
All
grants of common stock awards and stock options to employees and directors are recognized in the financial statements based on
their grant date fair values. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all
common stock awards and stock options granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule, with a corresponding
charge to additional paid-in capital.
Common
stock awards are granted to directors for services provided. The vested portions of common stock awards granted but not yet issued
are recorded in common stock to be issued.
Common
stock awards issued to consultants represent common stock granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value. The
measurement dates for such awards are set at the dates that the contracts are entered into as the awards are non-forfeitable and
vest immediately. The measurement date fair value is then recognized over the service period as if the Company has paid cash for
such service.
The
Company estimates fair value of common stock awards based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
Foreign
currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is U.S. dollars. The Company
uses RMB as its functional currency. The results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the
period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and equity is translated
at the historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows
will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding accounts on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting
from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statements of stockholders’ equity. Translation
adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $6,075 and $(8,524), respectively. The cumulative translation
adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $(332) and $217,
respectively. 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.
Assets
and liabilities were translated at 7.08 RMB and 6.96 RMB to $1.00 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The equity
accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average translation rates applied to income statements for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were 6.98 RMB and 6.74 RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows are also translated at average translation
rates for the period; therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the
corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company derives revenues from distribution of graphite-based products. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue
is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect
to receive in exchange for those products. We enter into contracts that can include products, which are generally capable of being
distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes
collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Sales represent the invoiced value of goods,
net of value added tax (“VAT”), if any, and are recognized upon delivery of goods and passage of title according to
shipping terms.
The
Company is subject to VAT, which is levied on a majority of the products, at a rate ranging from 13% to 17% on the invoiced value
of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the Company in
addition to the invoiced value of purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales.
The
Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products to customers according to shipping terms. The Company
does not provide chargeback or price protection rights to the customers. The customer only places purchase orders with the Company once
it has confirmed the sale with a third party because this is a specialized business, which dictates that the Company will not
sell the products until the purchase order is received. The Company allows its customers to return products only if its products
are later determined by the Company to be defective. Based on the Company’s historical experience, product returns have
been insignificant throughout all of its product lines. Therefore, the Company does not record an allowance for sales returns.
If sales returns occur, they are taken against revenue when products are returned from customers. Sales are presented net of any
discounts given to customers. Interest income is recognized when earned. The Company experienced no returns for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
In
May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606), amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements
to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We
adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 for all revenue contracts with our customers using the modified retrospective approach.
There
is no impact of applying this ASU.
Cost
of goods sold
Cost
of goods sold consists primarily of the purchase costs of products.
Shipping
and handling costs
The
Company follows ASC 606, as amended and clarified by ASU 2016-10, to record shipping and handling cost. The Company classifies
shipping and handling costs paid on behalf of its customers in selling expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and
2019, shipping and handling costs were $20,008 and $240, respectively.
Taxation
Taxation
on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated based on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation
prevailing in the PRC after taking into account the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed
in the county of operations.
The
Company does not accrue U.S. income tax since it has no operations in the United States. Its operating subsidiaries are organized
and located in the PRC and do not conduct any business in the United States.
In
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC, 740 Income Tax, formerly known as FIN 48, which
clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining a criterion that an individual income tax position must meet for any part of
the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and provides guidance on measurement,
recognition, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
In accordance with the transition provisions, the Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.
The
Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free from some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and
policy changes by the state. The Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued
by current government officials.
Based
on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
as of March 31, 2020 is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes
that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its
effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on
current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next twelve
months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.
Enterprise
income tax
The
enterprise income tax is calculated on the basis of the statutory profit as defined in the PRC tax laws. This statutory profit
is computed differently than the Company’s net income under U.S. GAAP.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and
credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities from
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents
the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets
and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. 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.
Value
added tax
The
Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1,
1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax,
value added tax (“VAT”) is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement
services provided within the PRC.
VAT
payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the
full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the
taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of VAT included in
the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services
in the same financial year.
Contingent
liabilities and contingent assets
A
contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. It can also be a present
obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that the Company will incur a liability
or obligations as a result. A contingent liability, which might occur but is not probable, is not recorded but is disclosed in
the notes to the financial statements. The Company will recognize a liability or obligation when it is probable that the Company
will incur such liability or obligation.
A
contingent asset is an asset, which could possibly arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are not recorded
but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when it is likely that the Company will recognize an economic benefit.
When the benefit is virtually certain, the asset is recognized.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value
measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source
of the information. It establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of valuation techniques based on observable and unobservable
inputs, which may be used to measure fair value and include the following:
|
●
|
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.
|
The
carrying amount of other receivables, advance to vendors, advances from customers, other payables, accrued liabilities are reasonable
estimates of their fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
Loss
per share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding
during each period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible
debt, preferred stock and warrants. The Company uses if-converted method to calculate the dilutive preferred stock and treasury
stock method to calculate the dilutive shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.
The
following table sets forth the computation of the number of net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Accumulated
other comprehensive income
The
Company follows ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, formerly known as SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, to recognize the
elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’
equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the
Company, comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 included net income and foreign currency translation
adjustments.
Related
parties
Parties
are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control,
are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company,
its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with
which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other
to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions
with related parties are disclosed in the financial statements.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
The
Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption
of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, to increase the transparency and comparability
about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset
for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective
for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption.
The Company adopted the policy on January 1, 2019 and the impact of the adoption of this guidance is listed in Note 15.
In
October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory”,
which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when
the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-06 will be effective for the Company in its first quarter of 2019. The Company does not expect that
the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material
effect on the accompanying financial statements.
(5)
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
Most
of the Company’s bank accounts are in banks located in the PRC and are not covered by any type of protection similar to
that provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) on funds held in U.S. banks. The Company’s
bank account in the United States is covered by FDIC insurance.
Because
the Company’s operations are located in the PRC, this may give rise to significant foreign currency risks due to fluctuations
in and the volatility of foreign exchange rates between U.S. dollars and RMB.
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivables
and inventories, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company places its cash in banks located in China.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to the diversity of the Company’s
customers who are located in different regions of China. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support
financial instruments subject to credit risk.
Sales
to certain customers generated over 10% of the Company’s total net sales. Sales to one Company for the three months ended
March 31, 2020 were approximately 65% of the Company’s net sales. Sales to another Company for the three months ended March
31, 2020 were approximately 28% of the Company’s net sales.
Sales
to certain customers generated over 10% of the Company’s total net sales. Sales to one Company for the three months ended
March 31, 2019 were approximately 61% of the Company’s net sales. Sales to other Company for the three months ended March
31, 2019 were approximately 13% of the Company’s net sales. Sales to another Company for the three months ended March 31,
2019 were approximately 11% of the Company’s net sales.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2020, two suppliers accounted for approximately 92% of total purchases.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2019, three suppliers accounted for approximately 90% of total purchases.
(6)
Accounts Receivable
The
Company establishes an individualized credit and collection policy based on each individual customer’s credit history. The
Company does not have a uniform policy that applies equally to all customers. The collection period usually ranges from three
months to twelve months. The Company grants extended payment terms only when the Company believes that the payment will be collectible
at the end of the term. The Company grants extended payment terms to customers if based on the following factors: (a) whether
or not the Company views a real need, from the customer’s perspective, for the extension and (b) how critical the Company’s
relationship with the customer and is the customer the Company’s long-term business. The Company grants extended payment
terms only when the Company believes that the payment will be collectible at the end of the term. This meets the criteria of revenue
recognition under U.S. GAAP, which requires that collection of the resulting receivable be reasonably assured.
As
of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accounts receivable consisted of the following:

Company purchased approximately $0 and $2,264 property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and

The
Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual
disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized
equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing
this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects
of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property,
plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion of the results
of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, which
appear elsewhere in this report. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important factors
that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,”
“should,” “would” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties.
Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements
represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. This Annual Report should be read in its entirety and
with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law,
we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Overview
We are engaged in the research and development,
small production and sales of graphene and graphene oxide and graphite bipolar plates in the People’s Republic of China.
We have developed our own graphene prototype and produces the products by orders only, for which we sell domestically and export
internationally. We outsource the production of large orders to third parties as we have not commercialized our product prototype.
Starting in the second quarter of 2018, we have started producing our graphene products on a regular basis and standardized the
packaging for our customers’ commercial use. We also operate a business-to-business and business-to-consumers Internet portal
(www.roycarbon.com) for graphite related products.
As of and for the three months ended March
31, 2020, the Company has incurred operating losses. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on
the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain
adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among
other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1)
obtaining capital from the sale of its equity securities, (2) sales of its products, and (3) short-term or long-term borrowings
from banks, stockholders or other party(ies) when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will
be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The Company plans to look for opportunities to merge with or acquire other graphite
companies.
PRC regulations grant broad powers to the
government to adjust the price of raw materials and manufactured products. Although the government has not imposed price controls
on our raw materials or our products, it is possible that price controls may be implemented in the future, thereby affecting our
results of operations and financial condition.
Results of
Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended
March 31, 2020 and 2019
Sales.
During the
three months ended March 31, 2020, we had sales of $185,781, compared to sales of $21,316 for the three months ended March 31,
2019, an increase of $164,465, or approximately 771.56%. Significant sales increase was mainly due to increased market demand, year-end delivery delays, as well as COVID-19 and revenue recognition principles.
Cost of goods sold.
Our cost of goods sold consists of the purchase cost. During
the three months ended March 31, 2020, our cost of goods sold was $94,772, compared to $12,769 for the cost of goods sold for the
three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $82,003 or approximately 642.20%. The increase in the cost of sales
was primarily attributable to the significant increase in sales volume.
Gross profit.
Our gross profit increased from $8,547
for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $91,009 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase of the gross profit
is mainly attributed to increase in the sales.
Gross profit Margin.
Our gross profit margin increased from
40.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to 48.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to increased more profitable
products.
Operating expenses.
Operating expenses
totaled $109,404 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $103,214 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an
increase of $6,190, or approximately 6.00%.
Selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Selling expenses increased from $4,374
for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $21,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $16,679, or approximately
381.32%. The increase is mainly attributed to increased sales.
Our general and administrative
expenses consist of salaries, office expenses, utilities, business travel, amortization expenses, public company expenses
(including legal expenses, accounting expenses and investor relations expenses) and stock compensation. General and
administrative expenses were $88,351 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $98,840 for the three months
ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $10,489 or 10.61%. The decrease of general and administrative expenses is
mainly due to decreased payroll expense and decreased stock compensation.
Loss from operations.
As a result of the factors described above,
operating loss was $18,395 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to operating loss of $94,667 for the three months
ended March 31, 2019, a decrease in loss of approximately $76,272, or 80.57%.
Other income and expenses.
Our interest expense was $20,420 for the three
months ended March 31, 2020, compared to interest income of $87 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The reason is due to
more borrowings in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period 2019.
Other income of $nil and other expense
of $nil were recorded as other income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income tax.
During the three months ended March 31,
2020 and 2019, we did not incur any income tax due for these periods.
Net loss.
As a result of the factors described above, our net loss for
the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $38,815, compared to net loss of $94,754 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a
decrease in loss of $55,939, or approximately 59.04%.
Foreign currency translation.
Our consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S.
dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at
average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the
period and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating
the financial statements denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Our foreign currency
translation gain for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $6,075, compared a translation loss of $8,524 for the three months
ended March 31, 2019, a decrease in loss of $14,599.
Net loss available to common stockholders.
Net loss available to our common stockholders was $38,815, or
$(0.00) per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net loss of $94,754, or net loss
of $(0.00) per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
All of our business operations are carried
out by Royal Shanghai, and all of the cash generated by our operations has been held by that entity. In order to transfer such
cash to our parent entity, China Carbon Graphite Group, Inc., which is a Nevada corporation, we would need to rely on dividends,
loans or advances made by our PRC subsidiaries. Such transfers may be subject to certain regulations or risks. To date, our parent
entity has paid its expenses by raising capital through private placement transactions. In the future, in the event that our parent
entity is unable to raise needed funds from private investors, Royal Shanghai would have to transfer funds to our parent entity
through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Royal Hongkong and BVI. Co,
PRC regulations relating to statutory reserves
and currency conversion would impact our ability to transfer cash within our corporate structure. The Company Law of the PRC applicable
to Chinese companies provides that net after tax income should be allocated by the following rules:
|
1.
|
10% of after tax income to be allocated to a statutory surplus reserve until the reserve amounts to 50% of the company’s registered capital.
|
|
2.
|
If the accumulate balance of statutory surplus reserve is not enough to make up the Company’s cumulative prior years’ losses, the current year’s after tax income should be first used to make up the losses before the statutory surplus reverse is drawn.
|
|
3.
|
Allocation can be made to the discretionary surplus reserve, if such a reserve is approved at the meeting of the equity owners.
|
Therefore, the Company is required to maintain
a statutory reserve in China that limits any equity distributions to its shareholders. The maximum amount of the shareholders has
not been reached. The company has never distributed earnings to shareholders and has consistently stated in the Company’s
filings it has no intentions to do so.
The RMB cannot be freely exchanged into
the Dollars. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) administers foreign exchange dealings and requires
that they be conducted though designated financial institutions. Foreign Investment Enterprises, such as Royal Shanghai, may purchase
foreign currency from designated financial institutions in connection with current account transactions, including profit repatriation.
These factors will limit the amount of
funds that we can transfer from Royal Shanghai to our parent entity and may delay any such transfer. In addition, upon repatriation
of earnings of Royal Shanghai to the United States, those earnings may become subject to United States federal and state income
taxes. We have not accrued any U.S. federal or state tax liability on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiary because
those funds are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in our international operations. Accordingly, taxes imposed upon repatriation
of those earnings to the U.S. would reduce the net worth of the Company.
Our primary capital needs have been to
fund our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of financing will be cash generated from loans from banks, equity
investment from investors, and borrowings from unrelated parties.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. As of and for the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company has incurred operating losses and working
capital deficit from operating activities. The Company’s sales revenue is not sufficient to cover the company’s expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until
it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. At this point,
there can be no assurance that the Company is able to obtain such funding.
Our long-term goal is to develop our Royal
Shanghai business. During the interim, we expect that anticipated cash flows from future operations, loans and equity investment
from unrelated or related parties, provided that:
|
●
|
we generate sufficient business so that we are able to generate substantial profits, which cannot be assured;
|
|
●
|
we are able to generate savings by improving the efficiency of our operations.
|
We may require additional equity, debt
or bank funding to finance acquisitions or to allow us to develop our Royal Shanghai business, which is one of our primary growth
strategies. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to enter into any additional financing agreements on terms favorable
to us, if at all, especially considering the current global instability of the capital markets.
At March 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents
were $22,240, compared to $11,585 at December 31, 2019, an increase of $10,655. Our working capital deficit increased by $430
to a deficit of $2,541,129 at March 31, 2020 from $2,540,699 at December 31, 2019.
Accounts receivable, net of allowance, were
$13,279 and $3,781 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase was mainly due to increased sales. Accounts receivable
are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our management reviews the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful
accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and the aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates
individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the
allowance when it is considered necessary.
As of March 31, 2020, inventories were
$5,566, compared to $17,583 at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $12,017, or 68.34%. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31,
2019, the Company has not made provision for inventory in regards to slow moving or obsolete items.
The following table sets forth information
about our net cash flow for the three months indicated:

2019, an increase of $4,342. The increase in net cash flow provided by operating activities was mainly due to due to an increase
of $11,892 in inventory and an increase of $55,939 in net loss available to common shareholders, offset by a decrease of $17,212
in advance from customers, a decrease of $22,182 in lease liability and a decrease of $54,755 in other payables.

was $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $2,253for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of
$2,253, or 100%. The decrease is mainly due to decrease acquisitions of plant and equipment in the three months ended March 31,
2020.
Net cash flow used in financing activities
was $nil and nil for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Concentration of Business and Credit
Risk
Most of the Company’s bank accounts
are in banks located in the PRC and are not covered by any type of protection similar to that provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) on funds held in U.S. banks. The Company’s bank account in the United States is covered
by FDIC insurance.
Because the Company’s operations
are located in the PRC, this may give rise to significant foreign currency risks due to fluctuations in and the volatility of foreign
exchange rates between U.S. dollars and RMB.
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivables and inventories, the
balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company places its cash in banks located in China. Concentration of credit
risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to the diversity of the Company’s customers who are located
in different regions of China. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject
to credit risk.
Significant Accounting Estimates and
Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates including
the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of our products, income taxes and contingencies. We base
our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues from distribution
of graphite-based products. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue
should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has
been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Sales represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax (“VAT”), if any, and are recognized upon delivery
of goods and passage of title according to shipping terms.
The Company is subject to VAT, which is
levied on a majority of the products, at a rate ranging from 13% to 17% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by
customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the Company in addition to the invoiced value of
purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales.
The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery
of goods and passage of title according to shipping terms. The Company does not provide chargeback or price protection rights
to the customers. The customer only places purchase orders with the Company once it has confirmed the sale with a third party
because this is a specialized business, which dictates that the Company will not sell the products until the purchase order
is received. The Company allows its customers to return products only if its products are later determined by the Company to be
defective. Based on the Company’s historical experience, product returns have been insignificant throughout all of its product
lines. Therefore, the Company does not record an allowance for sales returns. If sales returns occur, they are taken against
revenue when products are returned from customers. Sales are presented net of any discounts given to customers. Interest income
is recognized when earned. The Company experienced no returns for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), amending revenue recognition
guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing,
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 for all
revenue contracts with our customers using the modified retrospective approach.
There is no impact of applying this ASU.
Comprehensive Income
We have adopted ASC 220, Comprehensive
Income, formerly known as SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and presentation
of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. We have chosen to report
comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions
of ASC 740, Income Tax, formerly known as SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial
statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the
difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Effective January 1, 2008, the new Chinese
income tax law sets unified income tax rates for domestic and foreign companies at 25%, except for a 15% corporate income tax rate
for qualified high technology and science enterprises. In accordance with this new income tax law, low preferential tax rates in
accordance with both the tax laws and administrative regulations prior to the promulgation of this law gradually become subject
to the new tax rate within five years after the implementation of this law.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance
For Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivables are recognized and
carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for allowance for doubtful accounts
is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Accounts receivable are
recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts
on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual
customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance
when it is considered necessary. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $nil as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of
cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in
the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases,
costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. For the three
months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not made provision for inventory in regards to slow moving or obsolete items.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated
at cost. Major expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized while ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are expensed
as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets
after taking into account the estimated residual value. The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment
for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated
future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows
are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and
prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.
Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the
three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed
as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of the cost of material used
and salaries paid for the development of our products and fees paid to third parties. Our research and development expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were not significant.
Value Added Tax
Pursuant to China’s VAT rules and
regulations, as an ordinary VAT taxpayer we are subject to a tax rate of 17% (“output VAT”). The output VAT is payable
after offsetting VAT paid by us on purchases (“input VAT”). Under the commercial practice of the PRC, the Company paid
VAT and business tax based on tax invoices issued.
The tax invoices may be issued subsequent
to the date on which revenue is recognized, and there may be a considerable delay between the date on which the revenue is recognized
and the date on which the tax invoice is issued. In the event that the PRC tax authorities dispute the date on which revenue is
recognized for tax purposes, the PRC tax office has the right to assess a penalty, which can range from zero to five times the
amount of the taxes that are determined to be late or deficient. In the event that a tax penalty is assessed on late or deficient
payments, the penalty will be expensed as a period expense if and when a determination has been made by the taxing authorities
that a penalty is due.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company began recording
financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurement at the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. On January 1, 2009, the Company began recording
non-recurring financial as well as all non-financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement under the same principles.
These fair value principles prioritize valuation inputs across three broad levels. The three levels are defined as follows:
|
●
|
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 liabilities, 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.
|
The carrying amounts of financial assets
and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables,
short-term bank loans, notes payable, accounts payable, advances from customers and other payables, approximate their fair values
because of the short maturity period for these instruments.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation includes (i) common
stock awards granted to employees and directors for services which are accounted for under FASB ASC 718, Compensation–Stock
Compensation, and (ii) common stock awards granted to consultants which are accounted for under FASB ASC 505-50, Equity–Equity-Based
Payments to Non-Employees.
All grants of common stock awards and stock
options to employees and directors are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The Company
has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all common stock awards and stock options granted
with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital.
Common stock awards are granted to directors
for services provided.
Common stock awards issued to consultants
represent common stock granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value. The measurement dates for such awards are
set at the dates that the contracts are entered into as the awards are non-forfeitable and vest immediately. The measurement date
fair value is then recognized over the service period as if the Company has paid cash for such service. The Company did not make
significant grants to consultants for any of the periods presented.
The Company estimates fair value of common
stock awards based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
$4,800 and $7,200 of stock compensation
expenses were amortized and recognized as general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued,
but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have
a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new
guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It
also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does
not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity
in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows”. The amendments
provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement
of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the
Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4) Proceeds
from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including
Bank-Owned; (6) Life Insurance Policies; (7) Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; (8) Beneficial Interests in Securitization
Transactions; and Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. The amendments are effective
for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition
method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments
for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company does not expect that the adoption
of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October
2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory”,
which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when
the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-06 will be effective for the Company in its first quarter of 2019. The Company does not expect that
the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17,
“Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control”. The amendments affect
reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate a variable interest entity in certain situations
involving entities under common control. Specifically, the amendments change the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity by changing how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a variable
interest entity treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting
entity. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance
will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No.
2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this ASU clarify
the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should
be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Basically these amendments provide a screen to determine
when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this ASU first, require that to be considered a business,
a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create
output and second, remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. These amendments take
effect for public businesses for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those periods, and all
other entities should apply these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial
statements.
