Overview

 

China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd. (the "Company") is currently in the development stage with the goal of becoming a turnkey developer and Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contractor of photovoltaic ("PV") solar energy facilities ("SEF"). We intend to design, engineer, construct, market and sell high-quality PV SEFs for commercial and utility applications to local markets.

 

Before June 1, 2012, we were engaged in exploration for commercially recoverable metal-bearing mineral deposits. On June 1, 2012, we entered into an agreement with Xunyang Yongjin Mining Co., Ltd. to transfer our mining exploration rights for a cash payment of $2,380,612 (RMB 15,000,000). Further, on December 30, 2013, our subsidiary, Shaanxi Changjiang Mining & New Energy Co., Ltd ("Shaanxi Changjiang"), entered into Equity Transfer Agreements with each of Zhang Hong Jun, a director of the Company and owner of a controlling interest in the Company (holding 54.42% as of December 31, 2016), and Wang Sheng Li, a director and shareholder of the Company (holding 2.36% as of December 31, 2016), to sell Shaanxi Changjiang's entire 60% interest in Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd., ("East Mining" and formerly referred to as "Dongfang Mining") for a total consideration of $885,696 (RMB5,400,000). The consideration payable to the Company was used to offset amounts owed to each of the acquirers. Each of the acquirers obtained 30% equity in this transaction.

 

Together with Mr. Zhang Hong Jun, a director of the Company and owner of a controlling interest in the Company, the Company established a subsidiary, named Shaanxi Weinan Changjiang Solar Photovoltaic Energy Applied Science and Technology Co., Ltd ("Changjiang PV"), to develop the new solar energy business in April 2012. We hold an indirect 51% interest in Changjiang PV. We and Mr. Zhang Hong Jun have invested in new energy industry for several years. With close relations with government departments and extensive personal connections, we devoted our major efforts to the solar photovoltaic downstream market after signing the mines disposing agreement in June 2012.

 

Our subsidiary, Changjiang PV, concentrates on the development and operation of EPC projects. Our first EPC project, the Weinan Hechuan 137KWp solar PV building applications did not generate any revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

We also hold land use rights in a land parcel and we lease a portion of the land use rights on the 5.7 square kilometer parcel to Shaanxi Huanghe Bay Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd (previously Shaanxi Huanghe Bay Spring Lake Park Co., Ltd.), a company with a common control person. The term of the lease agreement is from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2029 and the annual rent is approximately $1.2 million (RMB 7,500,000). As of December 31, 2016, we had only received rent payments for 2011 and no payments thereafter. Due to the uncertain collectability, we decided to write off all the receivable related to land lease of $3,618,818 (equivalent to RMB 22,500,000) in FY 2015 and decided not to recognize any revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016.

 

Our Corporate History and Background

 

The Company is the result of a 2008 share exchange transaction among: (i) North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("North American"); (ii) Shaanxi Changjiang Petroleum & Energy Development Stock Co., Ltd. ("CJP"), a limited liability company established and existing under the law of People's Republic of China; and (iii) the shareholders of CJP, among whom the predominant shareholder, holding 97.2% of CJP's shares, was a Hong Kong company, Hong Kong Wah Bon Enterprise Limited ("Wah Bon"). After completion of the share exchange transaction, the Company entered into a reverse merger with North American.

At the time of the share exchange transaction, CJP owned 60%, and the Company continues to control, Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd., ("East Mining") which held the Chinese exploration license through which we pursued our exploration activity.

 

The share exchange was completed on February 4, 2008, resulting in the shareholders of CJP controlling approximately 96% of the equity ownership of North American. At the time of the closing of the share exchange, North American was a shell company domiciled in Delaware which filed reports under the Exchange Act and whose shares traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market. Wah Bon caused its subsidiary, CJP, to pay $370,000 in cash, and Wah Bon delivered shares constituting 97.2% of the outstanding equity of CJP, in exchange for 3,800,000 shares of North American common stock and 500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of North American, which originally were entitled to 1,218 votes per share. Two U.S. individuals, through their advisory company, Capital Advisory Services, Inc., were paid in the aggregate 4,500,000 shares of North American. In June 2008, CJP changed its name to "Shaanxi Changjiang Mining &New Energy Co., Ltd ("Shaanxi Changjiang")."

 

Following the share exchange transaction, Wah Bon replaced North American's Board of Directors.

 

China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 19, 2008 for the purposes of re-domesticating the Company from Delaware to Nevada, adopting the Company's current name, and to serve as the surviving company of a reverse merger with North American.

 

Pursuant to Articles of Merger filed with the Secretary of the State of the State of Nevada on December 4, 2008 and the Secretary of the State of Delaware on April 2, 2009, North American was merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity.

 

On February 9, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock, subject to FINRA approval. The 1-for-10 reverse split was approved by FINRA on July 30, 2010, effective August 2, 2010.

 

On September 15, 2010, the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation and a Certificate of Conversion and Elimination of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to which: (i) all shares of our Series C Preferred Stock were converted into shares of common stock at a rate of 1,218 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock; and (ii) we canceled and eliminated the Series C Preferred Stock. In the aggregate, the outstanding shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock were converted into 609 million shares of common stock.

 

As a result of these transactions, we currently have 250,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 64,629,559 shares are issued and outstanding on the date of this annual report, and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, of which no shares are presently issued and outstanding. At the time our share exchange transaction was completed, approximately 96% of the outstanding shares of North American were owned by Wah Bon. See Item 12, "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters."

 

We established a subsidiary, named Shaanxi Weinan Changjiang Solar Photovoltaic Energy Applied Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Changjiang PV"), in April 2012 to develop the new solar energy business. Our subsidiary, Shaanxi Changjiang, owns 51% of Changjiang PV, and Mr. Zhang Hong Jun, the actual controller, owns the other 49%.

 

On December 30, 2013, we transferred all of the 60% equity of East Mining to our common control person, Mr. Zhang Hong Jun and one of the shareholders, Mr. Wang Sheng Li with a consideration of $885,696 (RMB 5,400,000). Each of the acquirers obtained 30% equity of East Mining in this transaction.

 

Shaanxi Changjiang held 20% equity of Shaanxi Changjiang Electricity & New Energy Co., Ltd from 2008, with an investment cost of $315,658 (RMB 2, 000,000) and impairment of $183,429 was provided at the year ended December 31, 2013. On December 31, 2014 Shaanxi Changjiang disclaimed this 20% equity interest in exchange for a waiver of the debt of $201,899 owed to Shaanxi Changjiang Electricity & New Energy Co., Ltd.

Industry overview

 

Solar photovoltaic energy is an emerging, clean energy industry with a growing market share. The global solar PV market has grown from 6.1 Gigawatt ("GW") in 2008 to an estimated 49.7GW in 2014 but with imbalanced development. Application of solar energy in developed countries such as Germany and Japan, are relatively comprehensive and mature. At the present time, the Chinese PV downstream market is still in the initial stages of development, though most of the PV modules are manufactured in China.

 

In the past year, China's solar PV module manufacturers were hit by the European Union and the United States anti-dumping sanctions. Businesses and governments are trying to find better alternative applications market to absorb the huge domestic surplus solar PV capacity. The untapped domestic PV downstream market is one of the best ways to absorb the surplus production capacity.

 

The Chinese government is encouraging the construction of a large PV base and the development of distributed photovoltaic. Currently, we mainly focus on the development of distributed photovoltaic power generation projects.

 

It was estimated that, by 2020, if the Building Integrated PV ("BIPV") would be applied for 10% of the roof area and 15% of the facade area in the existing and new buildings in China, the potential market of BIPV applications would reach 1000GW, equivalent to 45 new installed capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station.

 

Since the first half of 2012, the supply and demand of silicon in the international market has undergone great changes, resulting in obvious decline in the cost of solar modules. With the declining cost of solar modules from RMB 15 to RMB 6 per watt, the cost of PV power generation was significantly reduced.

 

We believe the next few years will show protracted continued growth in the PV solar market. Government policies, in the form of both regulation and incentives, have accelerated the adoption of solar technologies by businesses and consumers and have provided opportunities for developers to construct PV systems as an alternative to more traditional forms of power generation.

Our Industry and Principal Market

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We have established a sales and marketing department which is focused on identifying and establishing relationships with entities that are likely to have a need for our products and services.

 

Our products and services are expected to be largely represented through our Company's sales force located in Xi'an City and Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, China.

 

Current Business Operations

 

At the present time, our focus is on serving the local solar PV generation market.

 

According to the national policy and because of the favorable market conditions, Weinan City is to develop photovoltaic power generation demonstration area. Weinan city is a prosperous city, adjacent to the capital of Shaanxi province, Xian city. With rich solar radiation and developed business in the Northwest, Weinan city took advantage to accelerate the development of the distributed solar PV.

 

We established a subsidiary, named Shaanxi Weinan Changjiang Solar Photovoltaic Energy Applied Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Changjiang PV"), in April 2012 to develop the local distributed solar PV business.

 

The following chart illustrates our distributed solar PV business model.

 

 

 

In September 2012, Changjiang PV entered into an agreement with Shaanxi Changling Solar Energy & Electric Co., Ltd ("Changling") to outsource the construction of a solar energy project located in Huanghe Bay Springs Lake Theme Park. The project, with a total contract amount of $310,548, was completed by the year end of 2012.

 

The project was designed to generate electricity preferentially for Huanghe, and sell the surplus power to the grid company. We have received the subsidy funds of $159,096 (RMB 1,000,000) from the local government for the project in December, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Huanghe Bay Project did not generate any revenue.

 

We also hold land use rights in a 5.7 square kilometer parcel located in Huanghe Nantan, Heyang County, in the Shaanxi Province of China. And we lease a portion of the land use rights on the 5.7 square kilometer parcel to Shaanxi Huanghe Bay Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd (previously Shaanxi Huanghe Bay Spring Lake Park Co., Ltd.), a company with a common control person. The term of the lease agreement is from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2029 and the annual rent is approximately $1.2 million (RMB 7,500,000). As of December 31, 2016, we had only received rent payments for 2011 and no payments thereafter. Due to the uncertain collectability, we decided to write off all the receivable related to land lease of $3,618,818 (equivalent to RMB 22,500,000) in FY 2015 and decided not to recognize any revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016.

Solar PV Industry

 

General

 

Though we may be a new participant in solar PV industry, we also realized that the local downstream market of solar PV industry was as new as we are. Experience in some developed countries has shown that there should be a business opportunity in China's PV downstream market in the near future.

 

Each of our EPC projects is a strategic long-term investment, with relatively low risk, a stable cash inflow can be generated and little ongoing maintenance costs would be incurred once the project begins operations.

 

Competition

 

We anticipate that our competitors in the solar PV markets will be local and regional EPC contractors and developers. Other companies in China that engage in solar PV power generation that we consider to be likely competitors, include: Xi'an Huanghe Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Tuori New Energy Technology Limited, and Shaanxi Changling Electric Co., Ltd., etc. These competitors have more experience in the operation of solar PV energy and have superior financial resources than we do.

 

The entire solar industry also faces competition from other power generation sources, both conventional sources as well as other emerging technologies. Solar power has certain advantages and disadvantages when compared to other power generating technologies. The advantages include the ability to deploy products in many sizes and configurations, provide reliable power for many applications, serve as both a power generator and the skin of a building and eliminate air, water and noise emissions. The disadvantages mainly came from the relatively high cost of power generation.

 

The cost of electricity generated by PV products currently is very close to the cost of electricity generated from conventional power such as coal and hydropower in Chinese markets. A significant reduction in the scope or discontinuation of government incentive programs could cause demand for our products and our revenue to decline, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

As an emerging industry, the rapid growth of the solar PV could reduce the intensity of competition from alternative products and services.

 

In the near term, mature government subsidy roadmaps from the government have led developers to be aggressive with their solar installations so that they can enjoy better economic returns. Cost reductions of solar installations have proven to be viable and have also led to aggressive solar installation. In the long run, we believe that solar energy continues to have significant future growth potential and that demand for our products and services will continue to grow significantly for the following reasons:

 

 

·

increasing demand for renewable energies, including solar energy, due to the finiteness of fossil fuels and concerns over nuclear power;

 

 

 

 

·

increasing environmental awareness leading to regulations and taxes aimed at limiting emissions from fossil fuels;

 

 

 

 

·

continued adoption or maintenance of government incentives for solar energy at all level of Chinese government;

 

 

 

 

·

narrowing cost differentials between solar energy and conventional energy sources due to market-wide decreases in the average selling prices for PV products driven by lower raw materials costs and increased production efficiencies; and

 

 

 

 

·

continued improvements in the conversion efficiency of PV products leading to lower costs per watt of electricity generated, making solar energy more efficient and cost-effective.

Government Regulation

 

This section sets forth a summary of the most significant regulations or requirements that affect our business activities in China.

 

Regulations issued or implemented by the State Council, China's National Development and Reform Commission ("NDRC"), and other relevant government authorities cover many aspects of new energy industry, including, but not limited to the following principal regulations:

 

Renewable Energy Law

 

On December 26, 2009, China revised its Renewable Energy Law, which originally became effective on January 1, 2006. The revised Renewable Energy Law became effective on April 1, 2010 and has laid the legal foundation for developing renewable energy in China.

 

Renewable Energy Law clearly stipulates the following principles for the development of new energy:

 

 

·

To encourage and support the use of solar and other renewable energy and the use of on-grid generation.

 

 

 

 

·

To encourage the installation and use of solar energy water-heating systems, solar energy heating and cooling systems, solar PV systems and other solar energy utilization systems.

 

 

 

 

·

To authorize the relevant pricing authorities to set favorable prices for the purchase of electricity generated by solar and other renewable power generation systems.

 

 

 

 

·

To provide financial incentives, such as national funding, preferential loans and tax preferences for the development of renewable energy projects.

 

Government Directives

 

In January 2006, the NDRC promulgated two implementation directives of the Renewable Energy Law. These directives set forth specific measures in setting prices for electricity generated by solar and other renewal power generation systems and in sharing additional expenses occurred. The directives further allocate the administrative and supervisory authorities among different government agencies at the national and provincial levels and stipulate responsibilities of electricity grid companies and power generation companies with respect to the implementation of the Renewable Energy Law.

 

China's Ministry of Construction issued a directive in June of 2005, which seeks to expand the use of solar energy in residential and commercial buildings and encourages the increased application of solar energy in townships. In addition, China's State Council promulgated a directive in June of 2005, which sets forth specific measures to conserve energy resources and encourage exploration, development and use of solar energy in China's western areas, which are not fully connected to electricity transmission grids, and other rural areas.

 

In July 2007, the PRC State Electricity Regulatory Commission issued the Supervision Regulations on the Purchase of All Renewable Energy by Power Grid Enterprises which became effective on September 1, 2007. To promote the use of renewable energy for power generation, the regulations require that electricity grid enterprises must in a timely manner set up connections between the grids and renewable power generation systems and purchase all the electricity generated by renewable power generation systems. The regulations also provide that power dispatch institutions shall give priority to renewable power generation companies in respect of power dispatch services provision.

On September 4, 2006, China's Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Construction jointly promulgated the Interim Measures for Administration of Special Funds for Application of Renewable Energy in Building Construction, which provides that the Ministry of Finance will arrange special funds to support the application of renewable energy in building construction in order to enhance building energy efficiency, protect the ecological environment and reduce the consumption of fossil energy. These special funds provide significant support for the application of solar energy in hot water supply, refrigeration and heating, PV technology and lighting integrated into building construction materials.

 

On October 28, 2007, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress adopted amendments to the PRC Energy-saving Law, which sets forth policies to encourage the conservation of energy in manufacturing, civic buildings, transportation, government agents and utilities sectors. The amendments also seek to expand the use of the solar energy in construction areas.

 

In March 2009, China's Ministry of Finance promulgated the Interim Measures for Administration of Government Subsidy Funds for Application of Solar Photovoltaic Technology in Building Construction, or the Interim Measures, to support the demonstration and the promotion of solar PV applications in China. Local governments are encouraged to issue and implement supporting policies for the development of solar PV technology. These Interim Measures set forth subsidy funds set at RMB 20 per watt for 2009 to cover solar PV systems integrated into building construction that have a minimum capacity of 50 kilowatt peak.

 

In April 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly issued the "Guidelines for Declaration of Demonstration Project of Solar Photovoltaic Building Applications." These guidelines created a subsidy of up to RMB 20 per watt for building integrated PV or BIPV projects using solar-integrated building materials and components and up to RMB 15 per watt for BIPV projects using solar-integrated materials for rooftops or walls.

 

In July 2010, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "City Illumination Administration Provisions" or the Illumination Provision. The Illumination Provisions encourage the installation and use of renewable energy system such as PV systems in the process of construction and re-construction of city illumination projects.

 

On March 8, 2011, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly promulgated the Notice on Further Application of Renewable Energy in Building Construction, which aims to raise the percentage of renewable energy used in buildings.

 

On March 27, 2011, the NDRC promulgated the revised Guideline Catalogue for Industrial Restructuring which categorizes the solar power industry as an encouraged item.

 

On March 14, 2012, the Ministry of Finance, the NDRC and the National Energy Bureau jointly issued the interim measures for the management of additional subsidies for renewable-energy power prices, according to which relevant renewable-energy power generation enterprises are entitled to apply for subsidies for their renewable power generation projects that satisfy relevant requirements set forth in the measures.

 

On March 1, 2013, China's State Council issued the "Twelfth Five Year Plan." The plan supports the promotion and development of renewable energy, including the solar energy. The plan also encourages the development of solar PV power stations in the areas with abundant solar power resource.

 

On November 18, 2013, the National Energy Bureau issued "The Interim Measures for the management of distributed photovoltaic power generation projects". The regulation contributes to promote the application of distributed photovoltaic power and regulate the projects management.

 

On November 26, 2013, the Ministry of Finance announced that the power generated by its own distributed PV power generation project could be exempted from imposing government fee, such as renewable energy surcharges, fee for major national water conservancy construction, etc.

 

In January, 2014, the National Energy Administration of China announced the PV installation target for 2014 to be 14GW, which includes 8GW for distributed PV systems and 6GW for large scale PV power plants.

In the same month, the National Energy Administration of China released a list of 81 "New Energy Demonstration Cities" and eight "industrial demonstration parks" in 28 and 8 provinces respectively. These cities and zones are required to achieve their respective mandatory targets in terms of solar PV installations and the percentage of installed renewable energy power generation capacities by the end of 2015, or the end of the 12th Five-Year-Plan.

 

In February 2014, the Certification and Accreditation Administration and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Testing and Certification of PV Products." The implementation opinions provide that only certified PV products may be connected to the public grid or receive government subsidies. The institutions that certify PV products must be approved by the Certification and Accreditation Administration. According to the implementation opinions, PV products that are subject to certification include PV battery parts, inverters, control devices, confluence devices, energy storage devices and independent PV systems.

 

In December, 2014, the National Energy Administration of China released a list of 30 "distributed solar photovoltaic industrial application demonstration zone" to encourage the development of distributed solar PV industry.

 

On January 28, 2015, the NEA of China announced the target for national solar installations in 2015 to be 15GW, 8GW of which would be targeted for utility scale, 7GW for distributed generation.

 

On December 24, 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission promulgated the Notice on the improvement of photovoltaic electricity price, which announced a new standard on-grid price implemented from January 1, 2016 for solar PV electricity.

 

On December 15, 2015, the National Energy Bureau announced the annual plan for the development of solar PV. The solar power installed capacity will reach 160GW, and total annual investment will reach 200 billion RMB for 2016, in the light of the plan.

 

Restrictions on Foreign Businesses and Investments

 

The principal regulation governing foreign ownership of photovoltaic businesses in the PRC is the Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalogue, updated and effective as of January 30, 2012. Under this regulation, industrial activity is categorized as "permitted," "restricted," or "prohibited." and the solar photovoltaic business is listed as an industry of "permitted" where foreign investments are encouraged.

 

Enterprise Income Tax

 

On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress passed the Enterprise Income Tax Law ("the China EIT Law"), which was effective as of January 1, 2008.

 

The China EIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of foreign countries or regions but whose "de facto management body" is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purpose and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its worldwide income. The Implementing Rules of the new EIT Law merely defines the location of the "de facto management body" as "the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., of a non-PRC company is located." On April 22, 2009, the PRC State Administration of Taxation further issued a notice entitled "Notice regarding Recognizing Offshore-Established Enterprises Controlled by PRC Shareholders as Resident Enterprises Based on Their place of Effective Management." Under this notice, a foreign company controlled by a PRC company or a group of PRC companies shall be deemed as a PRC resident enterprise, if (i) the senior management and the core management departments in charge of its daily operations mainly function in the PRC; (ii) its financial decisions and human resource decisions are subject to decisions or approvals of persons or institutions in the PRC; (iii) its major assets, accounting books, company sales, minutes and files of board meetings and shareholders' meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and (iv) more than half of the directors or senior management personnel with voting rights reside in the PRC. Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe that it is likely that its operations outside of the PRC should be considered a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, due to limited guidance and implementation history of the China EIT Law, should the Company be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, the Company will be subject to PRC tax on worldwide income at a uniform tax rate of 25% retroactive to September 19, 2008.

The China EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding company's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Such withholding income tax was exempted under the previous income tax regulations. The United States of America, where the Company is incorporated, has such tax treaty with China.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose part or all of your investment. You should read the section entitled "Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

WE HAVE TRANSITIONED OUR BUSINESS FROM MINING TO NEW CLEAN ENERGY BUSINESS, WHICH INVOLVED SIGNIFICANT TRANSITION AND INTEGRATION RISK

 

We disposed of our mining business sector in 2013, and currently we are developing our new clean energy solar business. This change involves significant transition and integration risks, both because we are required to end our participation in mining operations and wind down our existing relationships prior to our being able to participate in a new energy business and because we may incur costs and/or a loss of revenue (or a delay in anticipated increased revenue from the new business) in connection with these changes. The significant transition and integration risks include:

 

 

·

an inability to transition our business to clean energy due to a lack of applicable approvals or difficulty in satisfying entrance requirements;

 

 

 

 

·

significant revenue dilution as we terminate our participation in mining operations and/or insufficient, or delay in receipt of, revenue from our participation in current operations, including an inability to maintain our key customer and business relationships as we transition to new energy; and

 

 

 

 

·

difficulties integrating our technology processes, and

 

 

 

 

·

lack of experience in EPC project management.

 

If any of these risks or costs materializes, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY IN CLEAN NEW ENERGY INDUSTRY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS.

 

We are a company engaged in the business of local clean solar energy development with two EPC projects under construction and several potential projects. We also hold land use rights in a 5.7 square kilometer parcel located in Huanghe Nantan (Huanghe Bay), Heyang County, in the Shaanxi Province of China, which is held for leasing purpose.

 

Though we commenced the biomass incineration power business in 2009 by cooperation with our strategic partner, our business change in 2012 was our first time to enter the solar photovoltaic industry and determine the strategy of mainly focusing on PV EPC developing in the future.

 

We have generated revenue in solar PV business for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 in the amounts of $12,356 and $16,718, respectively. However, our limited operating history makes the prediction of future results of operations difficult, and in addition, we cannot assure that the existing management model is suitable for the EPC project development.

 

We will devote more resources in our marketing promotion, and attempt to adapt our management to a more flexible operation environment as we have to deal with a variety of competitors due to the relatively lower entrance barrier for solar PV downstream industry.

 

WE DEPEND ON OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES, THE LOSS OF WHOM COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.

 

Our success will depend to a large degree upon our ability to identify, hire, and retain personnel, particularly persons familiar with the marketing, manufacturing and administrative processes associated with the solar energy business. We depend on the skills of our management team and current key employees, such as Mr. Chen Wei Dong, our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. We may be unable to retain our existing key personnel or attract and retain additional key personnel.

 

The loss of any of our key employees or the failure to attract, and retain experienced or additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

 

WE ACT AS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR FOR OUR CUSTOMERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE INSTALLATION OF OUR SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS AND ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION, BONDING, COST OVERRUNS, DELAYS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

We act as the general contractor for our customers in connection with the installation of our solar power systems. All essential costs are estimated at the time of entering into the sales contract for a particular project, and these are reflected in the overall price that we charge our customers for the project. These cost estimates are preliminary and may or may not be covered by contracts between us or the other project developers, subcontractors, suppliers and other parties to the project. In addition, we require qualified, licensed subcontractors to install most of our systems. Shortages of such skilled labor could significantly delay a project or otherwise increase our costs. Should miscalculations in planning a project or defective or late execution occur, we may not achieve our expected margins or cover our costs. Additionally, many systems customers require performance bonds issued by a bonding agency. Due to the general performance risk inherent in construction activities, it is sometimes difficult to secure suitable bonding agencies willing to provide performance bonding. In the event we are unable to obtain bonding, we will be unable to bid on, or enter into sales contracts requiring such bonding.

Table of Contents

 

Delays in solar panel or other supply shipments, other construction delays, unexpected performance problems in electricity generation or other events could cause us to fail to meet these performance criteria, resulting in unanticipated and severe revenue and earnings losses and financial penalties. Construction delays are often caused by inclement weather, failure to timely receive necessary approvals and permits, or delays in obtaining necessary solar panels, inverters or other materials. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

WE ARE A PRIVATE COMPANY MAINLY OPERATING IN CHINA, WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MORE DIFFICULT BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT FOR US, COMPAIRED WITH THE STATE OWNED COMPANY IN PV INDUSTRY

 

We are a private company operating in China in PV industry, which may incur more cost in obtaining administrative permit, acquiring EPC project, etc., while many competitors are state-owned Companies and operate in a preferable business environment. The PV developer must apply for the PV demonstration project for financial subsidy. Usually the relevant government agencies give priority to the state-owned company under equal conditions.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR PV INDUSTRY

 

A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN OUR DISCONTINUATION OF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES AND ECONOMIC INCENTIVES MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Demand for our products and services substantially depends on government incentives aimed to promote greater use of solar power. The PV application markets would not be commercially viable without government incentives. This is because the cost of generating electricity from solar power currently exceeds the cost of generating electricity from conventional or non-solar renewable energy sources.

 

Usually, the local government bears the financial subsidy. If the local finance is too tight to offer the subsidy, the change of incentive policy may be the only choice. Though we don't think the national incentive policy shall be significant changed in the near future, the local financial subsidy policy adjustment could have a material effect on our business directly.

 

The scope of the government incentives for solar power depends, to a large extent, on political and policy developments in China related to environmental, economic or other concerns, which could lead to a significant reduction in or a discontinuation of the support for renewable energy sources.

 

Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our solar power products may result in significant additional expenses to us, our resellers, and our customers and as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar power products.

 

BECAUSE THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE COMPETE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE GREATER RESOURCES THAN US, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY AND WE MAY LOSE OR BE UNABLE TO GAIN MARKET SHARE.

 

We mainly focus on the local solar PV downstream market. Our competitors include Xi'an Huanghe Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Tuori New Energy Technology Limited, and Shaanxi Changling Electric Co., Ltd., etc. Most of them have a stronger market position than ours, more sophisticated technologies greater resources and better name recognition than we do.

 

The barriers to entry are relatively low in the PV consumer market. Financial strength and social relations resource were the key barriers to entry for the EPC project acquisition. Because of government's continuous efforts to encourage the PV consumer market, more and more companies with strong financial support commenced their solar PV energy business. It is a challenge for us to establish our competitive market position in the industry. In order to acquire more market share, we must respond more quickly to changing customer demands or market conditions or to devote greater resources to the marketing promotion.

 

New competitors or alliances among existing competitors could emerge and rapidly acquire a significant market share, which would harm our business. If we fail to compete successfully, our business would suffer and we may lose or be unable to gain market share.

RISKS RELATED TO THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

 

THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT OWNS ALL LAND IN CHINA, AND CHINA ISSUES LAND USE RIGHTS INSTEAD OF LEGAL TITLE TO THE PROPERTIES. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR RIGHTS TO THE PROPERTIES WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT OR LOSS.

 

In China, all property is owned by the central government. Unlike deeds or other evidence of a fee simple ownership interest, land use rights are always subject to fixed periods and permitted land use, usually for long periods of time. These periods are frequently 50 years. Disputes over land use right are common. A loss of our property rights would cause material damage to the Company and the price of its securities and could result in the loss of the entire value of our Company.

 

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

 

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR INTENDED BUSINESS.

 

All of our assets and operations are in the PRC. As a result, our operating results and financial performance as well as the value of our securities could be affected by adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions in China.

 

The Chinese government adopted a policy to transition from a planned economy to a market driven economy in 1978. Since then, the economy of the PRC has undergone rapid modernization, although the Chinese government still exerts a dominant force in the nation's economy. This continues to include reservation to the state of land use rights, and includes controls on foreign exchange rates and restrictions or prohibitions on foreign ownership in various industries. All lands in China are state owned and only limited "land use rights" are conveyed to business enterprises or individuals.

 

All of our intended exploration and mining activities require approvals from the local government authorities in China. Obtaining governmental approval is typically a lengthy and difficult process with no guaranty of success. Since the lands where our activities are located were acquired through the grant of a land use right, changes in government policy could adversely affect our business.

 

The Chinese government operates the economy in many industries through various five-year plans and even annual plans. A large degree of uncertainty is associated with potential changes in these plans. Since China's economic reforms have no precedent, there can be no assurance that future changes will not create materially adverse conditions for our business.

 

FLUCTUATION OF THE CHINESE CURRENCY COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

We expect that our future revenues and expenses will be generated in China, but our reporting currency is US dollars and reported results will be affected by exchange rate fluctuations between the RMB and the US dollar. We cannot give any assurance that the value of the RMB will continue to appreciate, or even remain stable against the US dollar or any other foreign currency. Accordingly, we may experience economic losses and negative impacts, as reported in U.S. Dollars, as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

 

The RMB is currently not a fully convertible currency. The Chinese government may restrict future access to foreign currencies for current account transactions. This may make it difficult for us to transfer money from China to other countries on an economically advantageous basis or even at all. It may also make it difficult for us to pay cash returns on the investment of foreign capital.

THERE ARE RISKS INHERENT IN DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL.

 

The political and economic systems of the PRC are very different from those of the United States and other western countries. China remains volatile with respect to certain social, economic and political issues which could lead to revocation or adjustment of reforms. There are also issues between China and the United States that could result in disputes or instabilities. The role of China and its government remain in flux both domestically and internationally, and could cause shocks or setbacks that may adversely affect our business.

 

THE CHINESE LEGAL SYSTEM DIFFERS FROM THAT OF THE UNITED STATES, PROVIDING LESS PROTECTION FOR INVESTORS, AND IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SEEK LEGAL REDRESS AGAINST US OR OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT ARE BASED UPON U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

 

All of our current operations are conducted in China. All of our current directors and officers are nationals or residents of China. All of the assets of these persons are located in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. Differences in interpretations and rulings can occur with limited opportunity for redress or appeal.

 

It may not be possible to effect service of process within the U.S. or elsewhere outside China upon our officers and directors. Even if service of process were successful, considerable uncertainty exists as to whether Chinese courts would recognize and enforce U. S. laws or judgments obtained in the U.S. federal and state securities laws as the U. S. laws confer substantial rights to investors and shareholders that have no equivalent in China. Therefore a claim against us or our officers and/or directors or even a final judgment in the U. S. may not be recognized or enforced by Chinese courts.

 

In 1979, the PRC began to reform its legal system and has enacted numerous laws regulating economic and business development, including those related to foreign investment. Currently many of the approvals required for our business may be obtained at local or provincial level. We believe that it is relatively easier and faster to obtain provincial approval than central government approval. Changes to existing laws that repeal or alter local regulatory authority and preempt it with national laws could negatively affect our business and the value of our securities.

 

China's regulations and policies regarding investments, including investment in the PV business, are subject to continued reformation and revisions. They may change in a manner adverse to us and our stockholders.

 

CHINESE LAWS COULD RESTRICT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS FROM ANY PROCEEDS OBTAINED FROM LIQUIDATION OF OUR ASSETS.

 

All of our assets are located in China. Chinese law governs the distributions that can be made in the event of liquidation of assets of foreign invested enterprises. While dividend distribution is allowed, some distributions are subject to the approval from the foreign exchange authority in China. Liquidation proceeds would also be subject to foreign exchange control. We are unable to predict the outcome in the event of liquidation insofar as it affects payment to non-Chinese nationals.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

THERE IS CURRENTLY A LARGE MARKET OVERHANG IN OUR COMMON STOCK AND FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE AND DIMINISH THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

 

On February 9, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse split of our common stock, after which all shares of our Series C Preferred Stock were converted into an aggregate of 609 million shares of our common stock. This effectively eliminated the ability of our other common stock holders to have a significant role in the election of directors and other corporate changes. Future sales of shares of our common stock or securities that are convertible into our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If any of our principal stockholders sells a large number of shares or if we issue a large number of shares, the market price of our common stock could significantly decline. Moreover, the perception in the public market that our principal stockholders might sell shares of common stock could further depress the market for our common stock.

 

 
16
 
Table of Contents

 

BECAUSE OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS CONTROL THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTING POWER OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS IN OUR COMMON STOCK WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF STOCKHOLDER VOTES.

 

Our officers and directors currently control approximately 85% of our common stock. So long as they continue to hold, directly or indirectly, shares of common stock representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of our common stock, they will be able to direct the election of all of the members of our board of directors who will determine our strategic plans and financing decisions and appoint top management. They will also be able to determine the outcome of substantially all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including matters involving mergers, acquisitions and other transactions resulting in a change of control of us, and our pursuit of corporate opportunities. They may seek to cause us to take courses of action that, in their judgment, could enhance their investment in us, but which might involve risks to holders of our common stock or adversely affect us or other investors.

 

THE MARKET FOR SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN LIMITED AND SPORADIC, AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT A MARKET WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

 

Shares of our common stock are not listed on any exchange but have been sporadically traded in over the counter transactions or in inter-dealer quotations. There is no assurance that any market makers will in the future post bid and ask prices for our shares of common stock. Our stock has been very thinly traded and there were many days or weeks that the shares did not trade at all. There is no assurance that any market will exist at the time that a shareholder wishes to sell his or her shares and there is no assurance that any market will continue.

 

OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE IS VOLATILE AND MAY NOT APPRECIATE IN VALUE.

 

The market price of shares of our common stock fluctuated and is likely to continue to fluctuate significantly. Fluctuations could be rapid and severe and may provide investors little opportunity to react. Factors such as changes in commodity prices, conversion of our preferred shares, results of operations, and a variety of other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets in penny stock shares tend to have extreme price and volume volatility. The market prices of the securities of many smaller public companies are subject to volatility for reasons that frequently are unrelated to operating performance, earnings or other recognized measurements of value. This volatility may cause declines, including very sudden and sharp declines, in the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure investors that the stock price will appreciate in value, that a market will be available to resell your securities or that the shares will retain any value at all.

 

WE DO NOT FORESEE PAYING CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

 

We have not paid cash dividends on our stock and we do not plan to pay cash dividends on our stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings to help fund operations. Therefore an investment in our common stock is not appropriate for investors who require regular and periodic returns on their investments.

 

OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND THE FINRA'S SALES PRACTICES, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

 

Our stock is a penny stock currently. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker- dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors", as defined. Rule 15g-2 requires a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form required by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market, and cautions investors against making a hurried investment decision. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with the current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction. The broker-dealer must also send a confirmation of these prices after the trade. After a purchase of penny stock, the broker-dealer must send a monthly account statement that gives an estimate of the value of each penny stock purchased.

 

 
17
 
Table of Contents

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.

 

Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

 

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the SEC, the FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker- dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as filed with the SEC and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

We have transitioned our business from mining to clean new energy, and mainly focus on the solar photovoltaic, or "PV", downstream market at present stage. We are currently in the development stage with the goal of becoming a turnkey developer and Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor of solar PV energy facilities. We intend to design, engineer, construct, market and sell high-quality PV energy facilities for commercial and utility applications to local markets. The Company decided not to recognize the revenue of electricity supply for the year ended December 31, 2016 due to the uncertain collectability.

 

Before June 1, 2012, we were engaged in exploration for commercially recoverable metal-bearing mineral deposits. On June 1, 2012, we entered into an agreement with Xunyang Yongjin Mining Co., Ltd to transfer our mining exploration rights for a cash payment of $2,380,612 (RMB 15,000,000). Further, on December 30, 2013, our subsidiary, Shaanxi Changjiang Mining &New Energy Co., Ltd. ("Shaanxi Changjiang"), entered into Equity Transfer Agreements with each of Zhang Hong Jun, a director of the Company and owner of a controlling interest in the Company (holding 54.43% as of December 31, 2013), and Wang Sheng Li, a director and shareholder of the Company (holding 11.52% as of December 31, 2013), to sell Shaanxi Changjiang's entire 60% interest in Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd., ("East Mining" and formerly referred to as "Dongfang Mining") for a total consideration of $885,696 (RMB 5,400,000). The consideration payable to the Company was used to offset amounts owed to each of the acquirers. Each of the acquirers obtained 30% equity in this transaction.

 

We also hold land use rights in a land parcel and we lease a portion of the land use rights on the 5.7 square kilometer parcel to Shaanxi Huanghe Bay Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd (previously Shaanxi Huanghe Bay Spring Lake Park Co., Ltd.),, a company with Zhang Hong Jun, a director of the Company and owner of a controlling interest in the Company. The term of the lease agreement is from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2029. Our land use rights are amortized over their 50 year term. The Land use right was our largest asset, with an annual rent of approximately $1.2 million (RMB 7, 500,000).

 

As of December 31, 2016, we only received rent payment of 2011 and no any collection afterwards. Due to the uncertain collectability, we decided to write off all the receivable related to land lease of $3,618,818 (equivalent to RMB 22,500,000) during the year of 2015 and decided not to recognize any revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016.

 

Our land use rights are amortized over 50-year term. The following is a summary of the book value of our land use rights as of December 31, 2016:

 

Cost

 

$ 18,432,882

 

Less: Accumulated amortization

 

 

4,721,760

 

Land use rights, net

 

$ 13,711,122

 

 

The amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $385,345 and $411,717, respectively.

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,926,913 as of December 31, 2016, which includes net loss of $562,860 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company's operations used cash was $120,988 in 2016.

 

In the past, the Company relied on the loan received from the related parties, and cash generated from operations to meet its operating requirements. Although the Company was successful in the past in obtaining financing, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financings will still be favorable. However in the event that we have insufficient cash to meet our operating requirements, our related companies and shareholders will commit to provide loan to maintain liquidity.

 

We believe that we have adequate capital to assure that we will be able to meet our obligations or obtain sufficient capital to complete our plan of operations for the next twelve (12) months.

We generated $12,356 of revenue from sales of solar PV energy for the year ended December 31, 2016, comparing to revenue of $16,718 for the year ended December 31, 2015. However, due to the collectability is not reasonably assured, we decided to write off the revenue from the fourth quarter of 2016 in the amount of $3,038.

The operating expenses decreased significantly because we wrote off a total balance of $3,897,124 due from related parties and total balance of $71,820 receivable from third parties due to uncertain collectability at the year end of 2015. And the depreciation expense decreased to $30,725, from comparable figure of $53,174. The amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 slightly decreased by $26,372, or 6.41%, due to the depreciation of RMB to USD, and no addition or disposal occurred for Land use rights.

 

Net Loss

 

Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $562,741, as compared to a net loss of $4,655,722 for year ended December 31, 2015. The significant improvement in our operating results was mainly attributable to the bad debt expense of $3,968,944 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Our comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1,301,939 compared with comprehensive loss of $5,321,924 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The other comprehensive income (loss) for each period only referred to the foreign currencies translation gain (loss), between U.S. Dollar and Chinese Yuan RMB (or Hong Kong Dollar for Wah Bon). The exchange rate of RMB against USD depreciated from 6.4907 as of December 31, 2015 to 6.9437 as of December 31, 2016, resulting in the other comprehensive loss of $739,198 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared with the other comprehensive loss of $666,202 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The significant decrease was primarily due to the net loss 562,741 the other comprehensive loss of $739,198, and offset by an increase in additional paid-in capital of $61,956 for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

 

The increase in additional paid in capital was due to an exemption from the loan of RMB367,464 (approximately $55,316) owed to Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd, a related party of the Company, as Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd had been officially cancelled in business on April 29, 2016, and an exemption from the salary payable of RMB 44,111(approximately $6,640) that had been paid by Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group, a related party.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $111,087 for the year ended December 31, 2016 was the proceeds from related parties.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $68,426 for the year ended December 31, 2015 was the proceeds from related parties.

 

General

 

As in previous year, we have access to short and long term loans of cash from our directors or other related parties.

 

The Company borrowed $111,087 from related parties for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

 

The Company borrowed $68,426 from related parties for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Our current assets decreased by $1,703 and total assets decreased by $2,574,758 respectively. The increased current assets were resulted from our increase in other current asset and prepayment and the decreased total assets were mainly due to the writing off receivables due from related parties and depreciation of RMB to USD.

 

We have cash of $12,512 and $13,550 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively. The decrease of cash balance was mainly due to the fact that we did not receive any cash for our business for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

However, we believe that we have sufficient cash to fund operations for the next twelve months.

 

Financing

 

We anticipated that cash generated from operating activities will be sufficient to sustain our daily operations for the next twelve months. 

 

Inflation

 

Our management believes that inflation did not have a material effect on our results of operations in 2016.

 

Going Concern

 

We had a working capital deficit of $1,191,997 as of December 31, 2016 and had a negative cash flow from operating activities amounted to $115,183 for the year ended December 31, 2016. If we cannot generate enough cash flow from its operating activities, we will need to consider other financing methods such as borrowing from banking institutions or raising additional capital through new equity issuance. There are no assurances that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We plan to continue to control our administrative expenses in the coming periods as well as further develop our sales from our main business.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

 

This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC ("PRC GAAP"), the accounting standards used in the places of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company to present them in conformity with US GAAP.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial conditions and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to comply with generally accepted accounting principles. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from our estimates, which would affect the related amounts reported in our financial statements.

 

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and assumptions which are used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, both significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred or services have been rendered and accepted, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

We are currently leasing the land use right to Shaanxi Huanghe Bay Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd., a related company with the same controlling person, for the development and operation of a theme park. We generally collect the annual rent every year, and then recognize land use right leasing revenue over the beneficial period described by the agreement, as the revenue is realized or realizable and earned.

 

We also supply electricity power by the solar PV energy segment. The electricity revenue is earned and recognized upon transmission of electricity to Heyang County Huanghe Bay Resort Hotel Co., Ltd., a related company with the same controlling person.

A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form10-K, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2016. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ( COSO – 2013 framework ) in Internal Control–Integrated Framework and Internal Control over Financial Reporting-Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. As a result of this assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

We note the following deficiencies that management believes to be material weaknesses:

 

 

a)

Various members of the Company's executive management are also members of its board of directors, including the board's chairman. This situation prevents a truly independent review of the actions of the Company's management. 

 

 

 

 

b)

The Company does not have an independent audit committee to oversee the external financial reporting process and the internal control over financial reporting as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This, in combination with the lack of an independent board of directors, creates a material weakness in the oversight of the Company's management, its internal control and its financial reporting process.

 

 

 

 

c)

The Company does not have sufficient knowledge of all the necessary financial statement disclosures that are required to be made in accordance with US GAAP.

 

 

 

 

d)

The Company failed to provide adequate supervision on recognizing revenue from related parties in accordance with US GAAP. Additionally, the Company does not have well-established procedures to authorize and approve related party transactions.

 

 
26
 
Table of Contents

 

Based on the material weakness described above, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in internal control - Integrated framework issued by the COSO.

 

The Company intends to take the following steps as soon as practicable to remediate the material weakness we identified as follows:

 

 

1.

We intend to recruit independent directors such that at least a majority of our Board is independent.

 

 

 

 

2.

We intend to constitute audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised entirely of independent directors and to adopt committee charters for those committees, in accordance with the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange. We intend that at least one member of our Audit Committee will qualify as an "Audit Committee financial expert."

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)- 15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In April 2015, Shaanxi Changjiang moved to a new office that is owned by Shaanxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd., a related company. Shaanxi Changjiang is allowed to occupy the space for free.

 

At the year end of 2015, the Company decided to write off total balances of $1,628,468 (equivalent to RMB 10,125,000) due from related parties due to the uncertain collectability. Those receivable balances consist of $454,363 receivable from Zhongke Aerospace & Agriculture Development Stock Co., Ltd., $804,182 receivable from Shaanxi Jiuzu Shaokang Liquor Co., Ltd. and $369,924 receivable from Shaanxi Changfa Industrial Co., Ltd. As Shaanxi Jiuzu Shaokang Liquor Co., Ltd. is owned by Zhang Hongjun (95% ownership), Shaanxi Changfa Industrial Co., Ltd. is owned by Zhang Hongjun (39% ownership) and Shaanxi Changjiang (13% ownership), the write-offs of $1,174,105 related to those companies are accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and recorded as an adjustment to stockholder's equity (additional paid-in capital).

 

On April 29, 2016, Shaanxi Industrial and Commercial Bureau officially approved East Mining's Cancellation of Registration.

In other words, East Mining has balance of RMB 367,464 (approximately $55,316) due from China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Co., Ltd as of June 30, 2016. Since East Mining was controlled by Zhang Hongjun (largest shareholder), the director and principal shareholder of Changjiang, Zhang Hongjun declared to forgive this debt from Changjiang on behalf of all shareholders of East Mining.

 

At the year end of 2016, the Company decided to write off balances of $5,007 due from Shaanxi Tangrenjie Advertising Media Co., Ltd. (Previously Shaanxi Changjiang Zhongxiayou Investment Company, Ltd.) due to the uncertain collectability.

 

On December 26, 2016, Changjiang PV had RMB 7,900,000 (approximately $1,137,525) due from Dukang and Shaanxi Changjiang had RMB 11,033,888 (approximately $1,589,050) due to Wang Shengli. To simplify the obligatory relationship, the four parties agreed that the Company offset the amount due from Dukang with the same amount due to Wang Shengli, leaving Shaanxi Changjiang with amount of RMB 3,133,888 (approximately $451,328) due to Wang Shengli as of December 31, 2016.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Trading Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd. made salary payment of RMB 592,119 (approximately $95,234) on behalf of Shaanxi Changjiang. During the year of 2016, Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd. paid RMB 44,111 (approximately $6,640) to Ping Li on behalf of Shanxi Changjiang and later agreed to waive the repayment. Since Shannxi Dukang Liquor Trading Co., Ltd. is owned by Zhang Hongjun (40% ownership) and Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd. (40% ownership) and Zhang Hongjun is the principal owner of Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd., the exemption of $95,234 and $6,640 are accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and recorded as an adjustment to stockholder's equity (additional paid - in capital). Additionally, Shaanxi Xi Deng Hui Development Stock Co., Ltd. made salary payment of RMB 73,980 (approximately $11,898) on behalf of the Company and later agreed to waive the repayment.

As both Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd and the Company are under common control of Zhang Hongjun and Wang Shengli, the extinguishment of related party loan is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control with $1,572,451 recorded as an adjustment to stockholders' equity (additional paid-in capital).

CHINA CHANGJIANG MINING & NEW ENERGY COMPANY, LTD.

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd. ("China Changjiang", "we", the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1969.

 

Hong Kong Wah Bon Enterprise Limited ("Wah Bon") was incorporated in Hong Kong on July 7, 2006 as an investment holding company.

 

Shaanxi Pacific New Energy Development Company Limited ("Shaanxi Pacific") was incorporated as a limited liability company in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") on July 20, 2007 as an investment holding company.

 

Shaanxi Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd ("Shaanxi Changjiang") (formerly Weinan Industrial and Commercial Company Limited) was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on March 19, 1999. The Company became a joint stock company in January 2006 with its business activities in investment holding and the development of a theme park in Xi'An, PRC.

 

In August 2005, Shaanxi Changjiang contributed land use rights valued at $7,928,532 in lieu of cash to the registered capital of Huanghe representing 92.93% of the equity of Huanghe. Huanghe was incorporated as a limited liability company in the PRC on August 9, 2005 as Shaanxi Changjiang Petroleum and Energy Development Co., Limited and is engaged in the development of a theme park in Huanghe Bay (Huanghe Nantan), Heyang County, Shaanxi Province, PRC.

 

On February 5, 2007, Shaanxi Changjiang entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire 40% of the equity interest in East Mining Company Limited ("East Mining") for $3,117,267 in cash. East Mining is engaged in exploration for lead, zinc and gold for mining in Xunyan County, Shaanxi Province, PRC.

 

On March 22, 2007, Shaanxi Changjiang entered into an agreement with the majority shareholder of Shaanxi Changjiang to exchange its 92.93% interest in Huanghe for a 20% equity interest in East Mining owned by this related party.

 

On August 15, 2007, 97.2% of the shareholders of Shaanxi Changjiang entered into a definitive agreement with Shaanxi Pacific and the stockholders of Shaanxi Pacific in which they disposed their ownership in Shaanxi Changjiang to Shaanxi Pacific for 98% of ownership in Shaanxi Pacific and cash of $1,328,940 payable on or before December 31, 2007.

 

On September 2, 2007, Wah Bon acquired 100% ownership of Shaanxi Pacific for a cash consideration of $128,205.

 

On May 30, 2007, amended to July 5, 2007, North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation ("North American") entered into a Material Definitive Agreement, pursuant to which the shareholders of Shaanxi Changjiang exchanged all their shares in Shaanxi Changjiang for 500,000 shares of series C convertible preferred stock ("series C shares") in North American which carried the right of 1,218 votes per share and was convertible to 609,000,000 common shares. In connection with the exchange, Shaanxi Changjiang also delivered $370,000 to North American and certain non-affiliates of North American will transfer to North American or its designee a total of 3,800,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, of North American which had been held for longer than 2 years by such non-affiliates, in exchange for the issuance by North American to each of such non-affiliates of 2,250,000 shares of common stock of North American. Issued and outstanding share of series C preferred stock were automatically converted into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock based upon the conversion rate upon the filing by the Company of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock to 800,000,000 shares, changing the Company's name to China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company Ltd. and implementing a one for ten reverse stock split. The transaction was closed on February 4, 2008 and Wah Bon became a wholly owned subsidiary of North American.

 

There was a 10 to 1 reverse stock split for the Company's common stock during December 2009 and all the shares information are retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. The preferred stock holders will not convert their C convertible preferred stock until after the completion of the reverse stock split.

 

 
F-6
 
Table of Contents

 

On February 9, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock. The 1-for-10 reverse split was approved by FINRA on July 30, 2010, effective August 2, 2010.

 

The Company was reincorporated from the state of Delaware to the state of Nevada with the intent to effect a statutory merger of the Delaware corporation "North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation" into China Changjiang and to swap all issued and outstanding shares in the Delaware corporation for comparable shares in China Changjiang and dissolve the Delaware corporation.

 

The merger of North American and Wah Bon was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Wah Bon ("the accounting acquirer") and re-organization by North American ("the accounting acquiree"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.

 

On February 4, 2008, we acquired Wah Bon and its three subsidiaries: Shaanxi Pacific; Shaanxi Changjiang and East Mining. Wah Bon owns 100% of Shaanxi Pacific. Shaanxi Pacific owns 97.2% of Shaanxi Changjiang; and Shaanxi Changjiang owns 60% of East Mining. The minority interests represent the minority shareholders' 2.8% and 40% share of the results of Shaanxi Changjiang and East Mining respectively.

 

The Company established a subsidiary, named Shaanxi Weinan Changjiang Solar Photovoltaic Energy Applied Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Changjiang PV") in April 2012. The Company's subsidiary, Shaanxi Changjiang accounted for 51% shares of Changjiang PV, and Mr. Zhang Hong Jun, the director and principal shareholder of the Company, accounted for the other 49% shares.

 

On December 30, 2013, the Company transferred all of its 60% equity of East Mining to its director and principal shareholder, Mr. Zhang Hong Jun and one of its shareholders, Mr. Wang Sheng Li with a consideration of $885,696 (RMB 5,400,000). Each of the acquirers obtained 30% equity of East Mining in this transaction. There is no gain or loss recognized because this is a transaction between entities under common control.

 

China Changjiang, Wah Bon, Shaanxi Pacific, Shaanxi Changjiang and Changjiang PV are hereafter referred to collectively as "the Company".

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)

Method of Accounting

 

The Company maintains its accounts and prepares its financial statements using the accrual method accounting. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied.

 

(b)

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 consolidate the financial statements of China Changjiang and its 100% owned subsidiary Wah Bon, 100% owned subsidiary Shaanxi Pacific, 97.2% owned subsidiary Shaanxi Changjiang and 51% owned subsidiary Changjiang PV. The minority interests represent the minority shareholders' 2.8% shares of the results of Shaanxi Changjiang and 49% shares of the results of Changjiang PV. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

(c)

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

 

This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in the PRC ("PRC GAAP"), the accounting standards used in the places of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company to present them in conformity with US GAAP.

 

 
F-7
 
Table of Contents

 

(d)

Going Concern 

 

Other than recurring losses over the years, the Company had working capital deficit of $1,191,997 as of December 31, 2016, and negative cash flow from operating activities amounted to $115,183, for the year ended December 31, 2016. If the Company cannot generate enough cash flow from its operating activities, it will need to consider other financing methods such as borrowing from banking institutions or raising additional capital through new equity issuance. There are no assurances that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. The Company plans to continue to control its administrative expenses in the coming periods as well as further developing its sales from its main business.

 

(e)

Economic and Political Risks

 

The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC and involve risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

(f)

Use of Estimates 

 

In preparing of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(g)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and amounts due from a related party. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. In addition, the Company conducts periodic reviews of the related party financial conditions and payment practices.

 

(h)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

(i)

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment, are stated at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated based on cost, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Machinery

 

5 years

 

Motor vehicles

 

10 years

 

Furniture and office equipment

 

5 years

(j)

Intangible assets

 

All land belongs to the government in PRC. Enterprises and individuals can pay the government a fee to obtain a right to use a piece of land for commercial purpose or residential purpose for an initial period of 50 years or 70 years, respectively. The land use right can be sold, purchased, and exchanged in the market. The successor owner of the land use right will reduce the amount of time which has been consumed by the predecessor owner.

 

We acquired the 5.71 sq.km land use right parcel, located in Heyang Country, Shaanxi Province in 2005. Our land use rights are amortized over their fifty-year term from October 2001 to October 2051.

 

(k)

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company accounts for impairment of property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", which requires the Company to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is event or circumstance that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset's (or asset group's) fair value.

 

(l)

Fair value of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a three level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. 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 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.

 

It is management's opinion that the estimated fair values of the financial instruments including other current assets and prepayments and other payables and accrued liabilities are not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, freemarket dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company maintains its consolidated financial statements in the functional currency. The functional currency of China Changjiang is US dollar ("USD"), the functional currency of "Wah Bon" is Hong Kong dollar ("HKD"), and the functional currency of "Shaanxi Pacific", "Shaanxi Changjiang" and "Changjiang PV" are the Renminbi ("RMB"). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Table of Contents

 

For financial reporting purposes, the consolidated financial statements of the Company, "Wah Bon", "Shaanxi Pacific", "Shaanxi Changjiang" and "Changjiang PV" which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars ("USD"). Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income (loss) but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), the accumulated amount of which is a component of stockholders' equity.

 

Exchange rates applied for the foreign currency translation during the period are as follows:

 

USD to RMB 

 

 

 

December 31,
2016

 

 

December 31,
2015

 

Period end US$ : RMB exchange rate

 

 

6.9437

 

 

 

6.4907

 

Average periodic US$ : RMB exchange rate

 

 

6.6430

 

 

 

6.2175

Period end US$ : UHK exchange rate

 

 

7.7543

 

 

 

7.7504

 

Average periodic US$ : UHK exchange rate

 

 

7.7617

 

 

 

7.7521

 

 

HK$ is pegged to US$ and hence there is no significant translation adjustment impact on these consolidated financial statements.

 

RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

 

(n)

Related Party

 

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, member 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 party might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

(o)

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, both significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred or services have been rendered and accepted, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company supplied electricity power by its solar PV energy segment. The electricity revenue is earned and recognized upon transmission of electricity to Heyang County Huanghe Bay Resort Hotel Co., Ltd., a related company.

Income Taxes

 

ASC 740 requires the 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. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets 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.

 

ASC 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions and requires that an entity recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.

 

(q)

Comprehensive Income/Loss

 

Comprehensive income/loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a consolidated financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. At present, the only component of other comprehensive income/loss is the Company's foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

(r)

Earnings/Loss per Share

 

Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing earnings/loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/loss per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings/loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ”. The amendments add further guidance on identifying performance obligations and also to improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ”. The amendments, among other things: (1) clarify the objective of the collectability criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. The effective date of these amendments is at the same date that Topic 606 is effective. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” . These amendments provide cash flow statement classification guidance for: 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 Life Insurance Policies; 6. Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; 7. Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and 8. Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption 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” . These 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. If a reporting entity satisfies the first characteristic of a primary beneficiary (such that it is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity), the amendments require that reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, to include all of its direct variable interests in a variable interest entity and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a variable interest entity held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The amendments in this ASU 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, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity adopts the pending content that links to this paragraph in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” . [JW4] These amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this ASU 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. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” . The amendments in ASU 2016-20 affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 including Loan Guarantee Fees, Contract Costs, Provisions for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, Disclosure of Remaining Performance Obligations, Disclosure of Prior Period Performance Obligations, Contract Modifications, Contract Asset vs. Receivable, Refund Liabilities, Advertising Costs, Fixed Odds Wagering Contracts in the Casino Industry, and Costs Capitalized for Advisors to Private Funds and Public Funds. The effective date of these amendments are at the same date that Topic 606 is effective. Topic 606 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

At the year end of 2015, the Company decided to write off total balances of $1,628,468 (equivalent to RMB 10,125,000) due from related parties due to the uncertain collectability.

As Shaanxi Jiuzu Shaokang Liquor Co., Ltd. is owned by Zhang Hongjun (95% ownership), Shaanxi Changfa Industrial Co., Ltd. is owned by Zhang Hongjun (39% ownership) and Shaanxi Changjiang (13% ownership), the write-offs of $1,174,105 related to those companies are accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity (additional paid-in capital).

 

At the year end of 2016, the Company decided to write off balance of $5,007 due from Shaanxi Tangrenjie Advertising Media Co., Ltd. (Previously Shaanxi Changjiang Zhongxiayou Investment Co., Ltd.) due to the uncertain collectability.

 

On December 26, 2016, Changjiang PV had RMB 7,900,000 (approximately $1,137,525) due from Du Kang and Shaanxi Changjiang had RMB 11,033,888 (approximately $1,589,050) due to Wang Shengli. The four parties agreed that the Company offset the amount due from Du Kang with the same amount due to Wang Shengli, leaving Shaanxi Changjiang with RMB 3,133,888 (approximately $451,328) due to Wang Shengli as of December 31, 2016.

In April 2015, Shaanxi Jiuzu Shaokang Liquor Co., Ltd. made rent payment of RMB 12,000 (approximately $1,930) on behalf of Shaanxi Changjiang and agreed to waive the repayment. Since Shaanxi Jiuzu Shaokang Liquor Co., Ltd. is owed by Zhang Hongjun (95% ownership), the exemption of $1,930 is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and recorded as an adjustment to stockholder's equity (additional paid - in capital).

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Trading Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd. made salary payment of RMB 592,119 (approximately $95,234) on behalf of Shaanxi Changjiang. During the year of 2016, Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd. paid RMB 44,111 (approximately $6,640) to Ping Li on behalf of Shanxi Changjiang and later agreed to waive the repayment. Since Shannxi Dukang Liquor Trading Co., Ltd. is owned by Zhang Hongjun (40% ownership) and Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd. (40% ownership) and Zhang Hongjun is the principal owner of Shaanxi Dukang Liquor Group Co., Ltd., the exemption of $95,234 and $6,640 are accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control and recorded as an adjustment to stockholder's equity (additional paid - in capital). Additionally, Shaanxi Xi Deng Hui Development Stock Co., Ltd. made salary payment of RMB 73,980 (approximately $11,898) on behalf of the Company and later agreed to waive the repayment. The exemption of $11,898 is recorded as other income for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

On September 15, 2015, the Company was exempt from the loan of RMB 10,000,000 (approximately $1,572,451) owed to East Mining, a company owned by Zhang Hongjun (70% ownership) and Wang Shengli (30% ownership). As both Shaanxi East Mining Co., Ltd and the Company are under common control of Zhang Hongjun and Wang Shengli, the extinguishment of related party loan is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control with $1,572,451 recorded as an adjustment to stockholders' equity (additional paid-in capital).

 

On April 29, 2016, Shaanxi Industrial and Commercial Bureau officially approved the cancellation of registration of East Mining. Zhang Hongjun, major shareholder of East Mining and director and principal shareholder of the Company, agreed to forgive the loan of $55,316 borrowed by the Company on behalf of all the shareholders of East Mining. As the Company and East Mining are under common control of Zhang Hongjun and Wang Shengli, the extinguishment of related party loan is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control with $55,316 recorded as an adjustment to stockholders' equity (additional paid-in capital).

INCOME TAX

 

China Changjiang is incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating income of nil, as for income tax purposes, both for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company's other subsidiaries are subject to income tax described below.

 

Hong Kong

 

Wah Bon is incorporated in Hong Kong and subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Wah Bon has no operating profit or tax liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

PRC

 

On March 16, 2007, the National People's Congress passed the Enterprise Income Tax Law ("the China EIT Law"), which was effective as of January 1, 2008.

 

Shaanxi Pacific, Shaanxi Changjiang and Changjiang PV are incorporated in the PRC and subject to 25% China statutory tax rate. Shaanxi Pacific did not incur any operating income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Shaanxi Changjiang incurred net loss, for income tax purpose, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Changjiang PV had net losses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The China EIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of foreign countries or regions but whose "de facto management body" is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purpose and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its worldwide income. The Implementing Rules of the China EIT Law merely defines the location of the "de facto management body" as "the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., of a non-PRC company is located." On April 22, 2009, the PRC State Administration of Taxation further issued a notice entitled "Notice regarding Recognizing Offshore-Established Enterprises Controlled by PRC Shareholders as Resident Enterprises Based on Their place of Effective Management." Under this notice, a foreign company controlled by a PRC company or a group of PRC companies shall be deemed as a PRC resident enterprise, if (i) the senior management and the core management departments in charge of its daily operations mainly function in the PRC; (ii) its financial decisions and human resource decisions are subject to decisions or approvals of persons or institutions in the PRC; (iii) its major assets, accounting books, company sales, minutes and files of board meetings and shareholders' meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and (iv) more than half of the directors or senior management personnel with voting rights reside in the PRC. Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe that it is likely that its operations outside of the PRC should be considered a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, due to limited guidance and implementation history of the China EIT Law, should the Company be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, the Company will be subject to PRC tax on worldwide income at a uniform tax rate of 25% retroactive to September 19, 2008.

The China EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding company's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Such withholding income tax was exempted under the previous income tax regulations. The United States of America, where the Company is incorporated, has such tax treaty with China.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company's PRC subsidiaries had net taxable operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,764,559. The PRC Income Tax allows the enterprises to offset their future taxable income with taxable operating losses carried forward in a 5-year period. The Management believes that the Company's cumulative losses arising from recurring business in recent years constituted significant negative evidence that most of the deferred tax assets would not be realizable and this evidence outweighed the expectations that the Company would generate future taxable income. The valuation allowance of $440,140 was recorded.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The provisions clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with the standard "Accounting for Income Taxes," and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Based on the Company's evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

 

The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions. In the event it receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.
