NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

1. Organization and principal activities

QHY Group (the “Company”, or “we”), formerly named Yakun International Investment and Holding Group (“Yakun International”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 16, 2007. Prior to the acquisition of Vast Glory Holdings Limited (“Vast Glory”) on September 13, 2011, the Company was a development stage company that had not generated any revenue from operations and maintained no essential assets since inception.

On September 13, 2011, the Company consummated a Share Exchange Agreement with the shareholders of Vast Glory, pursuant to which it acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Vast Glory in exchange for 8,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which constituted approximately 68% of its issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the acquisition pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with a third party and sold all shares of Vast Glory for consideration of $1. In consequence of the agreements, Yakun International disposed of all of its operations, assets and liabilities, and became a dormant company.

In November 2017, Yakun International entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “PBG SEA”) with PBG Water Solutions International Inc. (the “PBG Water Solutions”) and its shareholders, pursuant to which Yakun International acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of PBG Water Solutions in exchange for 46,839,439 shares of common stock of the Company and 19,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (each Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock) of the Company, which constituted approximately 83% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the acquisition. PBG Water Solutions was incorporated under the law of the State of Delaware on August 4, 2016, and in October 2017, it merged into a company with the same name incorporated under the law of the State of Nevada. On January 15, 2018, all parties to the SEA agreed to amend the original agreement and consummate the transaction forthwith. Shareholders of PBG Water solutions took control of Yakun International on the same date, and completed Yakun International’s registry of new officers and directors as of the issuance of these financial statements. PBG Water Solutions has not generated revenue as of today.  

The transaction was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” since, immediately following completion of the transaction, the shareholders of PBG Water Solutions effectively controlled the post-combination Company. For accounting purposes, PBG Water Solutions was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of PBG Water Solutions (i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of shares by the Company for the shares of PBG Water Solutions). Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of PBG Water Solutions and Yakun International became the historical financial statements of Yakun International and its subsidiaries, and the Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with PBG Water Solutions beginning on the acquisition date. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill were recorded in this transaction.

On December 21, 2017, Yakun International incorporated QHY Water Solutions International Corp (“QHY Water Solutions”) under the law of State of Nevada as its wholly owned subsidiary. On March 8, 2018, QHY Water Solutions incorporated QHY Environmental Science & Technologies Oceania Limited (“QHY Oceania”) under the law of New Zealand. QHY Oceania was 51% owned by QHY Water Solutions, and 49% owned by a New Zealand company. On April 17, 2018, QHY Water Solutions incorporated QHY New Zealand LLC (“QHY NZ”) under the law of the State of Nevada as a Limited Liability Company. QHY NZ was 51% owned by QHY Water Solutions, and 49% owned by a third party. QHY Water Solutions, QHY Oceania and QHY NZ have not generated any revenue since their inception.

On July 31, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to articles of incorporation changing its corporate name to QHY Group. The amendment became effective August 31, 2018.

In October 2018, QHY Water solutions transferred all of the outstanding shares of QHY Oceania and QHY NZ it owned to a non-affiliate for $100. Since both QHY Oceania and QHY NZ had no business or assets as of the disposal date, the transaction was accounted as an asset disposal, and an investment income of $100 was recorded.

In December 2018, the Company issued 1,515,000 shares of common stock to certain consultants for services rendered or to be rendered (See Note 9).

In December 2018, the Company entered into a series of securities purchase agreements with certain non-affiliate investors for the sale of 6,655,750 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $2,196,500. Of the shares sold, 5,972,582 were issued to six investors for $1,851,500 and the remaining 683,168 shares were sold to a single investor for $345,000.

2. Going concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Successful completion of the Company’s engagement in water solutions business and its transition to attaining profitable operations, is dependent upon obtaining additional financing. The Company plans to improve its future liquidity by obtaining additional financing through the issuance of financial instruments such as equity and warrants or through credit loans. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company issues additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of existing stockholders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The unaudited consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2019 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 complete consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Form 10-K filed on April 1, 2019.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2019, its consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The consolidated interim financial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries of the Company. All accounts and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c)  Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for options and restricted shares under treasury stock method and for convertible debts under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.

(k)  Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted

The company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting standards to have a material impact on its financial statements except for:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13) (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, including (i) clarifying narrative disclosure regarding measurement uncertainty from the use of unobservable inputs, if those inputs reasonably could have been different as of the reporting date, (ii) adding certain quantitative disclosures, including (a) changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (b) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and (iii) removing certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements, including (a) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (b) the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and (c) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. Management does not plan to early adopt this guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Inventories

Inventories of $292,500 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 represented an integrated wastewater treatment module PBG Water Solutions purchased from Beijing QHY Environment S & T Co., Ltd. (“Beijing QHY”), a related party of the Company. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had not transferred title to the equipment to its customer. (See Note 8)

5. Due from a related party

Renminbi (the “RMB”) equivalent to $2,196,500 as proceeds from issuing 6,655,750 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 9) was collected by Beijing QHY on behalf of the Company. The monies are considered held by Beijing QHY for the benefit of the Company.

6. Prepaid expenses and other current assets

The balance mainly consisted of $152,913 prepaid to several consultants to the Company in form of the Company’s common stock (see Note 9) pursuant to agreements with remaining services terms of less than 12-months as of June 30, 2019.

7. Advance from a customer

$292,500 advance from a customer represented the amount QHY Water Solutions received from QHY Oceania for a portion of the full price for a wastewater treatment module QHY Oceania purchased from QHY Water Solutions.

8. Related party transactions and balances

a) Related party transactions

b) Related party payables

On May 1, 2018, PBG Water Solutions and Yakun International (subsequently renamed “QHY Group”), entered into a Credit Loan Agreement with a 20.8% shareholder of QHY Group (the “Lender”). The Lender had provided operating capital to PBG Water Solutions since its inception, and to the Company since the consummation of PBG SEA. Pursuant to the Credit Loan Agreement, the Lender will provide a loan of $500,000 to the Company for 2 years with 10% annual interest which shall be applied from the date of the Credit Loan Agreement. In compensation for the loan credit, the Company issued to the Lender a 3-year cashless warrant, which entitles the Lender to purchase 50 million (50,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01. The warrant cannot be exercised before June 1, 2019, and shall be void and non-exercisable if the Company (i) raises more than $20 million in equity or (ii) has revenue in excess of $100 million in any fiscal year. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Lender has provided $329,986 and $283,720 to the Company, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 the Lender provided $28,092 and $24,489 to the Company, respective.

In February 2018, PBG Water Solutions entered into a financial advisory agreement with Rebus Capital Group (the “Rebus”), an entity affiliated with a shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which PBG Water Solutions will pay Rebus $30,000 per quarter. The agreement has a term of five years from March 2018 but is cancellable by either party on sixty days’ notice. The service fee for the first 3 months was waived by Rebus. Professional service expense related to this agreement was $28,500 and $38,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Professional service expense related to this agreement was $28,500 and $57,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

In April 2017, PBG Water Solutions entered into a License and Supply Agreement with an individual shareholder who owned 50% of PBG Water Solutions’ common stock and the shareholder’s majority owned company Beijing QHY Environment S & T Co., Ltd. (Beijing QHY). Pursuant to the License and Supply Agreement and its Amendment entered into in June 2017, the individual shareholder and Beijing QHY (the “Licensor”) granted PBG the exclusive use of 21 patents in any area outside the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) for 20 years. A one-time fee of $1 million shall be paid before December 31, 2021, and royalties of 1% of the net revenue received by PBG from the sale, license or other distribution of the licensed products shall be paid annually. In addition, the Licensor shall supply PBG Water Solutions licensed products at prices agreed upon from time to time by the Licensor and PBG Water Solutions. During the year ended December 31, 2018, QHY Water Solutions purchased an integrated wastewater treatment equipment from Beijing QHY for $292,500. The Company, QHY Water Solutions and PBG Water Solutions didn’t generate any net revenue from the licensed equipment or products yet during the year ended December 31, 2018.

9. Stockholder’s equity

Common stock

In April 2018, the Company increased its authorized common stock from 70 million to 1 billion shares. The Company issued 46,839,439 shares of common stock and 19,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the shareholders of PBG Water Solutions pursuant to PBG SEA. The 19,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 19,000,000 shares of common stock upon increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock.

In October 2018, the Company hired certain consultants to provide services related but not limited to: general advisory services relating to the Company operating as a publicly traded enterprise, strategic planning and execution, corporate governance and financial reporting. Pursuant to each agreement, the service term is 12 months and the Company shall pay the Consultants an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which was delivered at inception of the Agreements. The shares were issued in December 2018. In November 2018, the Company hired a consultant for investor relations and strategic planning, pursuant to an agreement whereby the Company shall issue to the consultant 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock each month. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has issued 15,000 shares of common stock to the consultant. Cost for the consulting service was measured based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the consulting agreement since the common stock was vested and non-forfeitable upon the entry into the agreement. The fair value of the common stock was estimated to be $0.4075, and resulted in $617,550 for the fair value of the 1,515,000 common shares issued. $152,813 and $160,963 consulting expense was incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

In December 2018, the Company issued 6,655,750 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $2,196,500.

Warrants

On May 1, 2018, the Company issued warrants to a shareholder pursuant to the Credit Loan Agreement (See Note 8). The warrants issued by the Company are classified as equity. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as additional-paid-in-capital, and no further adjustments are made.

The fair value of the stock warrants granted was estimated at $4,540,000 on the date granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model, with the following assumptions used for the valuation: exercise price of $ 0.01 per share, average risk-free interest rate of 2.66%, expected dividend yield of zero, expected lives of 3 years and an average expected volatility of 35%.

A summary of the status of the Company’s warrants as of June 30, 2019 is presented below:

The following table summarizes information about the Company’s warrants as of June 30, 2019:

Equity Incentive Plan

In July 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock related awards and performance awards. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be subject to awards under the 2018 Plan is 10,000,000.

Following is a reconciliation of the shares available to be issued under the 2018 Plan as of June 30, 2019:

10. Income taxes

The Company did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because it has experienced operating losses. When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income, the Company must take a full valuation allowance for this future tax benefit. The Company provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carryforward period.

The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or during the prior three years applicable under FASB ASC 740. The Company did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet. All tax returns have been appropriately filed by the Company. 

The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 were 0% and 0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 21% is primarily due to the increase in valuation allowance

The Company did not pay any income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

11. Subsequent events

In accordance with FASB standards, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date it filed this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and no subsequent events occurred that required disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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 the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in our Item 1A of our 2018 Form 10-K that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

PBG Water Solutions International Inc. (“PBG”) was organized in August 2016 to explore the market in the United States for wastewater treatment solutions and subsequently expanded its focus to markets outside the United States. In November 2017, we, now known as QHY Group (f/k/a “Yakun International Investment & Holding Group”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “PBG SEA”) with PBG and its shareholders, pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of PBG in exchange for 46,839,439 shares of our common stock and 19,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (each Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been converted into 1,000 shares of our common stock), which constituted approximately 83% of QHY Group’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the PBG SEA. Except where the context otherwise requires the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the business of (i) PBG for periods ending on or prior to the consummation in January 2018 of the PBG SEA and (ii) the combined businesses of us and PBG from and after the consummation of the PBG SEA.

On April 3, 2017, we entered into a License Agreement with Beijing QHY Environment S&T Co. Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, pursuant to which we were granted the exclusive right to 21 patents and related technologies related to wastewater treatment solutions. The License was amended in June 2017.

To date, we have not been adequately capitalized and have relied upon loans from our principal shareholders to pay expenses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become cash flow positive. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

Upon receiving an order for one or more of our systems, we intend to seek to raise the necessary capital to recruit the personnel to expand our sales efforts and enter the market in the United States, and to begin performing under such contracts as we may be granted. Until such time, we will likely rely upon our principal shareholders to introduce our products to potential customers and distributors. Our revenues will be determined by the prices negotiated with those parties that choose to employ our water treatment systems and further, will be determined by the scope of the products and services agreed to be provided. Our expenses will be determined principally by the costs incurred in performing under any contract, and the amount devoted to expenses related to being a public company, such as accounting and legal expenses.

During the next 12 months, we anticipate incurring costs for sales and marketing efforts, costs related to initial performance under any contract entered into and costs incurred to file Exchange Act reports. We believe we will be able to meet these costs through amounts, as necessary, to be loaned by or invested in us by our principal stockholders or other investors. We have no specific plans, understandings or agreements with respect to the raising of such funds, except for a credit loan agreement we entered with a 20.8% shareholder for $500,000 on May 1, 2018, and we may seek to raise the required capital by the issuance of equity or debt securities or by other means. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds may have a severe negative impact on our ability to become a viable company. 

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 as compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

PBG was organized in August 2016. During the remainder of 2016, and since the end of 2016 our activities were limited to the exploration of the markets for wastewater treatment within and outside the United States. We sold no products and performed no services during such period, other than in connection with the assembly and installation of a pilot wastewater treatment unit to be installed in a facility in New Zealand and consequently, generated no revenues. The expenses incurred primarily related to those costs and expenses incurred by us in exploring the market, and meeting with prospective customers to determine their interest in using the products available pursuant to the License Agreement, and professional fees incurred in connection with our organization, initial activities, and fees and costs related to being a public company since the PBG Share Exchange. 

Total operating expenses were $356,354 and $108,793 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is attributable principally to: 1) the accrued payroll expenses of $142,500 for the 7 employees we hired in April 2019 for various positions, including directors and officers; and 2) the $152,813 consulting expense related to the consultant we have engaged since October 2018.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $3,324 interest expense and $4,540,000 for issuing warrants to a 20.8% shareholder for a 2-year $500,000 credit loan. This shareholder provided loans without any interest since the inception of PBG for its operations and to Yakun International since the PBG Share Exchange. There were no warrants issued in the three months ended June 30, 2019, and consequently, no related expense, and interest expense accrued for the period was $7.583.

Net loss for the three months ended June, 2019 was $363,937, as compared to a net loss of $4,652,117 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 as compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Total operating expenses were $563,471 and $137,556 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is attributable principally to: 1) the accrued payroll expenses of $142,500 for the 7 employees we hired in April 2019 for various positions, including directors and officers; and 2) the $313,775 consulting expense related to the consulted we have engaged since October 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $3,324 interest expense and $4,540,000 for issuing warrants to a 20.8% shareholder for a 2-year $500,000 credit loan. This shareholder provided loans without any interest since the inception of PBG for its operations and to Yakun International since the PBG Share Exchange. There was no comparable expense in 2019 as we did not issue any warrants in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and interest expense accrued for the period was $14,613.

Net loss for the six months ended June, 2019 was $578,084, as compared to a net loss of $4,680,880 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had an insignificant amount of cash. We have not generated revenues to fund our operating expenses since formation and have had to rely upon the efforts of two of our stockholders on our behalf and contributions from our stockholders and the proceeds from the sale of our securities. In all likelihood, we will remain dependent upon our management and stockholders and the proceeds from the sale of our securities to fund our cash needs until we generate meaningful revenues.

We anticipate incurring a minimum of $500,000 in expenses over the next twelve months. Further, should our marketing efforts prove successful we will require additional working capital to perform any contracts we are awarded. The absence of capital will likely be a limiting factor on our ability to grow until such time as we raise a significant amount of equity or long-term debt. Even after we raise capital, our ability to grow may still be impeded by a lack of adequate working capital to simultaneously perform under multiple contracts.

In May 2018, we entered into a Credit Loan Agreement with Dragon & Tiger Holding Limited (“D&T”), one of our shareholders, which is controlled by one of our directors. Pursuant to the agreement, D&T has agreed to lend us up to $500,000. All amounts borrowed are to bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Accrued interest through the end of 2018 and 2019 is to be paid no later than 90 days after the end of each year. All amounts borrowed are to be repaid in full on or before May 1, 2020. In addition to interest, D&T was issued warrants to purchase 50,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.01 per share. The warrants cannot be exercised before June 1, 2019, and have an expiration date of May 31, 2023 or such earlier date as the Company (i) raises more than $20 million in equity or (ii) has revenue in excess of $100 million in any fiscal year. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, D&T has advanced to us an aggregate of $329,986 and $283,720, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Going Concern Consideration

The Company’s unaudited financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Successful completion of the Company’s engagement in water solutions business and its transition to attaining profitable operations, is dependent upon obtaining additional financing. The Company plans to improve its future liquidity by obtaining additional financing through the issuance of financial instruments such as equity and warrants or through credit loans. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company issues additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of existing stockholders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the assets and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.

Functional currency and foreign currency translation and transactions

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“US$”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into prevailing functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the late date of the months the transactions occurred. The Company had no monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet dates. 

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, stockholder, or a related corporation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting standards to have a material impact on its financial statements except for:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13) (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, including (i) clarifying narrative disclosure regarding measurement uncertainty from the use of unobservable inputs, if those inputs reasonably could have been different as of the reporting date, (ii) adding certain quantitative disclosures, including (a) changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (b) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and (iii) removing certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements, including (a) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (b) the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and (c) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. Management does not plan to early adopt this guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Mao Xu, in his capacity as our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer/chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to  a lack of accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the US (“GAAP”) and the financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission; insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and a lack of segregation of duties, in that we only had one person performing all accounting-related duties.

Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our three month period ended June 30, 2019, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
