2. | GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,010,696 and negative working capital of $10,936,514 as of March 31, 2019, and incurred a net loss of $567,594 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 In addition, the Company continues to generate operating losses and has limited cash flow from its operations. Management believes these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet with the Company’s obligations as they become due, and (2) further implement management’s business plan to extend its operations and generate sufficient revenues to meet its obligations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be neither any assurance to that effect, nor any assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain its operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
● | Basis of presentation and consolidation |
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflected the activities of NFEC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 previously filed with the SEC on September 6, 2019.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2019 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the fiscal year or any future periods.
● | Use of estimates |
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
● | Reclassification |
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NF ENERGY SAVING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
● | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
● | Restricted cash |
Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are recorded in restricted cash account on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s restricted cash balance is related to a contract performance guarantee bond. The balance of restricted cash was $183,444 and $179,496 as of March 31, 2019 and December 2018, respectively.
● | Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts |
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest and are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from shipment. Credit is granted based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For those receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $11,579,977 and $11,327,271, respectively.
● | Retention receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts |
Retention receivable is the amount withheld by a customer based upon 5-10% of the contract value, until a product warranty expires. The warranty period is usually 12 months. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $962,381 and $942,376, respectively.
● | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company reviews historical sales activity quarterly to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.
● | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Expected useful lives | Residual value | |||
Building | 10 – 30 years | 5% | ||
Plant and machinery | 5 – 14 years | 4 ~ 5% | ||
Furniture, fixture and equipment | 5 years | 4 ~ 13% |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

NF ENERGY SAVING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
● | Land use right |
All lands in the PRC are owned by the PRC government. Under applicable law, the PRC government, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, the Company’s land purchases in the PRC are considered to be leaseholds and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreement on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2059.
● | Construction in progress |
Construction in progress is stated at cost, which includes acquisition of land use rights, cost of construction, purchases of plant and equipment and other direct costs attributable to the construction of a manufacturing facility in Yinzhou District Industrial Park, Tieling City, Liaoning Province, PRC. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time as the assets are completed and put into operational use. No capitalized interest is incurred during the period of construction.
● | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
● | Revenue recognition |
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to the beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services, net of value-added tax. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
ü | Identify the contract with a customer; |
ü | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
ü | Determine the transaction price; |
ü | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
ü | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
● | Cost of revenue |
Cost of revenue consists primarily of material costs, direct labor, depreciation, and manufacturing overhead, which are directly attributable to the manufacture of products and the rendering of services or projects. Shipping and handling costs, associated with the distribution of finished products to customers, are borne by the customers.
● | Comprehensive income |
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

NF ENERGY SAVING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
● | Income taxes |
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of March 31, 2019, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company conducts the majority of its businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by a foreign tax authority.
● | Product warranty |
Under the terms of the contracts, the Company offers its customers with a free product warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customers, nature and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of contract value) is withheld by customers from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired. The Company has not experienced any material returns or claims where it was under obligation to honor this standard warranty provision. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company reported a net reserve of $31,297 and $65,529 as retention receivable for the receivables withheld by its customers for product warranty, respectively.
● | Net loss per share |
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
● | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

● | Retirement plan costs |
Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operation as the related employee service is provided.
● | Related parties |
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
● | Segment reporting |
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment in the PRC.
● | Fair value of financial instruments |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and convertible promissory notes): cash and cash equivalents, accounts and retention receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under finance lease and short-term bank borrowing approximate the carrying amount.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets; |
Level 2: Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and |
Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. |

NF ENERGY SAVING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
● | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This standard, which will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, is required to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which supersedes ASC 505-50 and expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payments arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both employees and nonemployees. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company's adoption date of ASC 606. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2018-07 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, including, among other changes, the consideration of costs and benefits when evaluating disclosure requirements. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
4. | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE |
The majority of the Company’s sales are on open credit terms and in accordance with terms specified in the contracts governing the relevant transactions. The Company evaluates the need of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. Based upon the aforementioned criteria, the Company reported a bad debt expense of $16,344 and $0 for its doubtful accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Under the PRC Law, the Company’s subsidiaries are required to make appropriations to the statutory reserve based on after-tax net earnings and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory reserve should be at least 10% of the after-tax net income until the reserve is equal to 50% of the registered capital. The statutory reserve is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the employees and is non-distributable other than in liquidation.
15. | CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK |
The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:
(a) | Major customers |
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, two customers who represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenues and its outstanding accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date is presented as follow:

Customer F | 22,232 | 15 | % | 1,655 | ||||||||
$ | 111,539 | 76 | % | $ | 54,321 |
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the two main customers are located outside of the PRC which contributed significant increase of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, all customers are located in the PRC.
(c) | Credit risk |
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) | Interest rate risk |
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from short-term bank borrowings. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates of variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, short-term bank borrowings were at fixed rates.
(e) | Exchange rate risk |
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.
(f) | Economic and political risks |
The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations. These include 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Report.
Certain statements in this Report constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategy, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans, and (e) our anticipated needs for, and use of, working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
As used herein the terms “we”, “us”, “our,” “NFEC” and the “Company” means, NF Energy Saving Corporation, a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
OVERVIEW
In the last few years, NFEC was dedicated to energy efficiency enhancement in two fields: (1) manufacturing large diameter energy efficient intelligent flow control systems for thermal and nuclear power generation plants, major national and regional water supply projects and municipal water, gas and heat supply pipeline networks; and (2) energy saving technology consulting, optimization design services, energy saving reconstruction of pipeline networks and contractual energy management services for China’s electric power, petrochemical, coal, metallurgy, construction, and municipal infrastructure industries.
NFEC has received many awards and honors from China’s regulators, professional associations and international organizations, including the ISO 9001:2008 certification from Det Norske Veritas Management System, the Liaoning Provincial Government’s Award of Innovative Enterprise with Best Investment Return Potentials, the Special Industrial Contribution Award of the ESCO Committee of China Energy Conservation Association, and the “Contract-abiding and credit enterprise” Award by the Liaoning State Local administrative bureau for industry and commerce. NFEC was awarded of “Hi-tech enterprise” by Liaoning Technology bureau in 2013.
In 2019, we decided to shift our focus so that our business will be mainly engaged in the sale of medicines and other health-related commodities through the development of a marketing network. We intend to focus on sales of prescription drugs, explore new retail opportunities (in addition to the acquisition of Boqi Pharmacy), and enter new rural areas. Through the expansion of pharmacy stores, acquisitions of businesses in the medical industry and franchise development, we intend to continue to build core competencies such as specialized services. We are committed to the pharmaceutical retail industry and to transforming the company into a technology-driven health service platform. We also intend to continue to actively explore domestic and international financing opportunities.

GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,010,696 and negative working capital of $10,936,514 as of March 31, 2019, and incurred a net loss of $567,594 for the three month ended March 31, 2019. In addition, the Company continues to generate operating losses and has limited cash flow from its operations. Management believes these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet with the Company’s obligations as they become due, and (2) further implement management’s business plan to extend its operations and generate sufficient revenues to meet its obligations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be neither no assurances to that effect, nor no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018
REVENUES
Revenues were $578,712 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $147,079 for the corresponding period in 2018, an increase of$431,633, or 293.47%. The increase in total revenue was due to the Company’s sales to the overseas market in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 when the Company had no revenues from foreign customers.
Product Revenues
Product revenues are derived principally from the sale of self-manufactured products relating to energy- saving flow control equipment. Product revenues were $557,239, or 96.29% of total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $91,796, or 62.41% of total revenues, for the corresponding period in 2018. Product revenues increased by $465,443 or 507.04%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in product revenue was due to sales to a new foreign customer.

Service revenues were $21,473, or 3.71% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $55,283, or 37.59% of total revenues for the corresponding period in 2018. Service revenues decreased by $33,810, or 61.16% as compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in service revenue was primarily due to reduced demand in the PRC for such service.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of Revenues

The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the increase of expenses related to Company’s efforts to improve day-to-day compliance with regulatory requirements following the transition the Company is going through.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
As a result of the factors mentioned above, loss from operations was $373,480 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $416,693 for the corresponding three-month period in 2018, a decrease of $43,213 or 10.37%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $367,912. The Company reported net loss of $542,448. Except for the adjustments of non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $252,125 and allowance for doubtful accounts of $16,344 increased our cash-based net income, net operating cash inflow result from the factors: 1) a decrease in accounts and retention receivable of $705,703, , 2) an increase in other payables and accrued liabilities of $311,165. Cash inflow was mainly offset by: 1) an increase in inventories by $205,366, 2) an increase in prepayments and other receivables of $39,276, 3) a decrease in accounts payable of $84,945, and 4) a decrease of $45,390 of tax payables.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $987,872. The Company reported net loss of $505,039. Except for the adjustments of non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $249,047, net operating cash inflow result from the factors: 1) a decrease in accounts and retention receivable by $2,007,657 and an increase in other payable and accrued liabilities by $258,282.Cash inflow was mainly offset by: 1) an increase in inventories by $912,536, 2) an increase in prepayment and other receivable by $78,476, 3) a decrease in the accounts payable by $31,063.
We have followed ASC 230-10-45-28 and choose to provide information about major classes of cash flow items by the indirect method. In the statement of cash flows, we have reported the same amount for net cash flow from operating activities indirectly by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities. The reconciliation has separately reported all major classes of reconciling items, for example, changes during the period in accounts receivables pertaining to operating activities, in inventory, and in payables pertaining to operating activities.
The Company is highly aware the risk of default, and as a result, we actively monitor accounts receivable with aging above 1 year and those that account significant to the total accounts receivable, thus there is no significant credit risk. The Company will consider an allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company provided significant amount of allowance of doubtful accounts and retention receivable in the year end of 2018, considering the overdue aging, payment history, customers’ financial condition and the efforts and estimates of the Company’s management.
We offer 12 months of product warranty on a case-by-case basis without charge, depending upon the type of customers, nature and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of contract value) is withheld by a customer from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $0.
On April 11, 2019, we entered into an Agreement with LASTING WISDOM HOLDINGS LIMITED, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, PUKUNG LIMITED, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong, BEIJING XIN RONG XIN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD., a company organized under the laws of the PRC, Boqi Pharmacy and several additional individual sellers. The rationale of the Agreement is for our company to purchase the pharmacy business of Boqi Pharmacy, as part of our expansion and shift of focus from the energy sector to the pharmacy business. The aggregate purchase price for the shares of Boqi Pharmacy’s parent consists of cash consideration of RMB 40,000,000 and up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments (contingent on fair market value of the acquired companies). This transaction is anticipated to close during the third or fourth quarter of 2019. The Company plans to raise RMB 40,000,000 in equity to fund the acquisition cost.
20
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $105,060, including repayments of $5,928,772 and $105,060 for our short-term bank borrowing and financial funding from our related parties which was partially offset by proceeds of $5,928,772 from a short-term bank borrowing.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $1,032,895, including repayments of $7,393,858 and $431,682 for short-term bank borrowing and financial funding from our related parties which was partially offset by proceeds of $6,292,645 on a short-term bank borrowing and $500,000 from the issuance of new shares.
INFLATION
We believe that the relatively moderate rate of inflation over the past few years has not had a significant impact on our results of operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, receivable, inventory, and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to the beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services, net of value-added tax. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
ü | Identify the contract with a customer; |
ü | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
ü | Determine the transaction price; |
ü | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
ü | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
21
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest and are due within the contractual payment terms, generally 90 to 180 days from shipment. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer’s credit-worthiness and their payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 180 days are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates each individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivable. The Company will consider an allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law.
Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company reviews historical sales activity quarterly to determine excess, slow moving items and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which the asset becomes fully operational and after taking into account its estimated residual values:
Expected useful lives | Residual value | |||
Building | 10 – 30 years | 5% | ||
Plant and machinery | 5 – 14 years | 4 ~ 5% | ||
Furniture, fixture and equipment | 5 years | 4 ~ 13% |
Expenditure for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Land Use Right
All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, the Company’s land purchase in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreement on a straight-line basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2059.
Foreign Currencies Translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations. The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Recently Issued New Accountings Standard
We do not expect adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation and the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2019, and during the period prior were not effective.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:
● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management authorization; and |
● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Due to the Company’s limited resources, the Company does not have accounting personnel with extensive experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP which could lead to untimely identification and resolution of accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions in accordance with US GAAP .This material weakness was identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and our plans for remediation are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on September 6, 2019.
Management’s Remediation plan
While management believes that the Company’s financial statements previously filed in the Company’s SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP, based on the control deficiencies identified above, we have designed and plan to implement, or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:
The Company is currently looking for an outside consultant with considerable public company reporting experience and breadth of knowledge of US GAAP to provide more training in connection with the preparation and review of its financial statements to the employees.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
