1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Yangtze River Development Limited (the “Company” or “Yangtze River”) and its subsidiaries, Energetic Mind Limited (“Energetic Mind”), Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Limited (“Ricofeliz Capital”), and Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Newport”).

The Company, formerly named as Kirin International Holding, Inc., and Ciglarette, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 23, 2009. The Company was a development stage company and has not generated significant revenue since inception to March 1, 2011.

On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement that Kirin China Holding Limited (“Kirin China”) became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Kirin China engaged in the development and sales of residential and commercial real estate properties, and development of land lots in People’s Republic of China (“China”, or the “PRC”).

On December 19, 2015, the Company completed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Energetic Mind and all the shareholders of Energetic Mind, whereby Yangtze River acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Energetic Mind, in exchange for 151,000,000 shares of Yangtze River’s common stock, which constituted approximately 88% of its issued and outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis of Yangtze River immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange, and an 8% convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $150,000,000. As a result of the Share Exchange, Energetic Mind became Yangtze River’s wholly-owned subsidiary and Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (“Jasper”), the former shareholder of Energetic Mind, became Yangtze River’s controlling stockholder. The Share Exchange transaction with Energetic Mind was treated as an acquisition, with Energetic Mind as the accounting acquirer and Yangtze River as the acquired party. The financial statements before the date of the Share Exchange are those of Energetic Mind with the results of the Company being consolidated from the date of the Share Exchange.

Energetic Mind owns 100% of Ricofeliz Capital and operates its business through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport.

Wuhan Newport was a wholly owned subsidiary of Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd. (the “Wuhan Renhe”), a company incorporated in the PRC as at September 23, 2002. On July 13, 2015, Wuhan Renhe transferred all of the equity interests of the Company to Ricofeliz Capital, a company incorporated in Hong Kong on March 25, 2015. Ricofeliz Capital was incorporated by Energetic Mind, a company incorporated in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Energetic Mind was incorporated by Mr. Liu Xiangyao on January 2, 2015, and was subsequently purchased by various companies incorporated in BVI or the United States of America (“USA”), among whom Jasper became its 64% owner. Jasper was 100% owned by Mr. Liu Xiangyao, a Hong Kong citizen.

The major assets of Wuhan Newport include land lots for developing commercial buildings that are in line with the principal activities of Kirin China.

On December 31, 2015, the Company entered into certain stock purchase and business sale agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kirin Global Enterprises, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a California corporation and an entity controlled by a former officer and director of the Company whereby the Company sold its interest in certain subsidiaries (see note 11) for an aggregate of $75,000,002. (the “Sale”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, Jasper agreed to finance the Sale by reducing Company’s financial obligations of the Note by an aggregate of $75,000,000. In addition, the Purchaser agreed to pay the remaining two dollars in cash.

Upon completion of the Sale, the Company operates its business solely through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport, primarily engaging in the business as a port logistic center located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the PRC.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

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

The condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented unclassified because the time required to complete real estate projects and the Company’s working capital considerations usually stretch for more than one-year period.

2.2 Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; and (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds and compensation payables.

2.3 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

2.4 Property and equipment

The property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated in Note 7.

The Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

2.5 Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(ASC 360- 10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

2.6 Fair values of financial instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company. 

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

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

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

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables, other receivables, short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities. 

2.7 Convertible notes 

In accordance with ASC subtopic 470-20, the convertible notes are initially carried at the principal amount of the convertible notes. Debt premium or discounts, which are the differences between the carrying value and the principal amount of convertible notes at the issuance date, together with related debts issuance cost, are subsequently amortized using effective interest method as adjustments to interest expense from the debt issuance date to its first redemption date. Convertible notes are classified as a current liability if they are or will be callable by the Company or puttable by the debt holders within one year from the balance sheet date, even though liquidation may not be expected within that period. 

2.8 Foreign currency translation and transactions 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting currency. Yangtze River, Energetic Mind, and Ricofeliz Capital uses US$ as its functional currency. Wuhan Newport uses Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of operations. 

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

2.9 Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from steel trading when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. 

Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales. 

Revenue from the sales of completed properties and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability. 

Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a) construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated. 

The Company has not generated any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. 

2.10 Real estate capitalization and cost allocation

Real estate property completed and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction and units completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost capitalization of development and redevelopment activities begins during the predevelopment period, which we define as the activities that are necessary to begin the development of the property. We cease capitalization upon substantial completion of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We also cease capitalization when activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use have been suspended. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms of 40 years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value.

2.11 Capitalization of interest

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under development. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, $nil and $nil were capitalized as properties under development, respectively.

2.12 Advertising expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $1,469 and $nil, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the company recorded advertising expenses of $nil and $nil, respectively.

2.13 Share-based compensation

The Company grants restricted shares to its non-employee consultants. Awards granted to non-employees are measured at fair value at the earlier of the commitment date or the date the services are completed, and are recognized using graded vesting method over the period the service is provided.

2.14 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 condensed consolidated 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. 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, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any uncertain tax position.

2.15 Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)

In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold. The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations. LAT would be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

2.16 Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for convertible notes 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.

2.17 Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss includes net income (loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

2.18 Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

2.19 Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2016-13, if currently adopted, would have a material effect of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

3. Risks

(a) Liquidity risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures.

(b) Foreign currency risk

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

4. OTHER assets and receivables

Other assets and receivables as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of:

Business tax and LAT are payable each year at 5% and 1% - 2% respectively of customer deposits received. The Company recognizes sales related business tax and LAT in the income statement to the extent that they are proportionate to the revenue recognized each period. Any excessive amounts of business and LAT liabilities recognized at period-end pursuant to tax laws and regulations over the amounts recognized in the income statement are capitalized in prepayments and will be expensed in subsequent periods.

The Company received deposits and considerations from the purchasers as required by the agreements. The construction commenced in the 2010, which was originally expected to be delivered to customers in late of 2012. No revenue was recognized from the sales of the commercial offices due to the reason stated below.

Owing to commercial reasons, the Company decided to terminate the agreements made for the sale of the real estate properties in relation to the project of Wuhan Centre China Grand Market.

On December 19, 2015, the Company issued an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $150,000,000 to Jasper, a related party, in the Share Exchange (see note 1). The holder of the Note may convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share.

On December 31, 2015, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreements, Jasper, financed the Purchaser for the Sale by reducing Company’s financial obligations under the Note by an aggregate of $75,000,000 (see note 1). As a result of the Sale, the outstanding balance due to Jasper under the Note was $75,000,000 plus any accrued interest.

There was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to the Note as the set conversion price of the Note was greater than the fair value of the common share price at the date of issuance.

Overview

Yangtze River Development Limited is a Nevada corporation that operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Energetic Mind Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, which holds 100% capital stock of Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Ltd., a Hong Kong company that holds 100% capital stock of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China that primarily engages in the business of real estate and infrastructural development with a port logistics center located in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. Situated in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuhan Newport is a large infrastructure development project implemented under China's latest "One Belt One Road" initiative and is believed to be strategically positioned in the anticipated "Pilot Free Trade Zone" of the Wuhan Port, a crucial trading window among China, the Middle East and Europe. To be fully developed upon completion, within the logistics center, there will be six operating zones: including port operation area, warehouse and distribution area, cold chain logistics area, rail cargo loading area, exhibition area and business related area. The logistics center is also expected to provide a number of shipping berths for cargo ships of various sizes. Wuhan Newport is expected to provide domestic and foreign businesses a direct access to the anticipated Free Trade Zone in Wuhan. The project will include commercial buildings, professional logistic supply chain centers, direct access to the Yangtze River, Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe Railway and ground transportation, storage and processing centers, IT supporting services, among others.

Our Logistics Center is an extensive complex located in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province of China, a major transportation hub city with access to numerous railways, roads and expressways passing through the city and connecting to major cities in China, as well as other international centers of commerce and business.  

The Logistics Center is expected to occupy approximately 1,918,000 square meters, for which the construction and development are expected to be completed in five years while the total anticipated investment have been divided into three phases – 40% of the total in the first year and 30% respectively in the second and third year. The following table illustrates the timeframe of our investment and construction progress.

The Logistics Center is located within the Wuhan Newport Yangluo Port, on the upper stream of the Yangtze River, and close to the northern base of Wu Iron and Steel, China's first mega-sized iron and steel production complex. The Logistics Center is expected to include a port terminal that will be located approximately 26.5km from the Wuhan Guan and 5.5km from the Yangluo Yangtze River Bridge. The operation area of the port is expected to consist of a riverbank of 1,039 meters with eight 5,000-to-10,000-ton berths, two of which are multi-purpose berths and the other six are general cargo berths. It is designed to be able to handle up to 5,000,000 tons of cargo annually, including up to 100,000 TEU for annual container throughput (including 20,000 TEU in freezers areas), 1,000,000 tons of iron and steel and 3,000,000 tons of general cargo.

Within the Logistics Center, functional areas will be divided into six operating zones: a port operation area, a warehouse and distribution area, a cold chain supply logistics area, a rail cargo loading area, an exhibition area and a business related area. The Logistics Center will also be complemented with container storage areas, multi-functional areas, general storage areas, multi-functional warehouse and infrastructural development, including new roads, gas stations, parking areas, gas and water pipes, electricity lines and all other facilities and equipment to operate the Logistics Center.

Aside from being situated in the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Yangluo development area is amongst the third group of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ) applicants to submit FTZ applications to the State Council. As of the date of this prospectus, approvals have been granted to Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Enterprises within the approved free-trade zones are typically entitled to a series of favorable regulations and policies that could help the businesses grow and succeed. However, we can provide no assurance at this point that the FTZ application will in fact be approved.

Wuhan Newport has signed a twenty-year lease agreement, maximum number of years permitted by the applicable PRC laws, and with rights to renew at its sole discretion effective April 27, 2015 to lease approximately 1,200,000 square meters of land for building logistics warehouses in support of the Logistics Center. The warehouses are expected to comprise of port terminal zones, warehouse logistics zones, cold chain supply zones and railroad loading and unloading zones. The warehouses will connect the port terminal along the Yangtze River and the railway leading to Europe, satisfying the requirement of China’s latest “One Belt, One Road” initiative. It will also be able to support large logistics companies in Wuhan and other nearby provinces which will rent the warehouses, terminals and offices within the Logistics Center. 

Factors Affecting our Operating Results

Growth of China’s Economy. We operate and derive all of our revenue from operations in China. Economic conditions in China, therefore, affect our operations, including the demand for our properties and services and the availability and prices of land maintenance among other expenses. China has experienced significant economic growth with recorded Gross Domestic Product growth rates at 7.7% in 2013, 7.4% in 2014 and 6.9% in 2015. China is expected to experience continued growth in all areas of investment and consumption.  However, if the Chinese economy were to become significantly affected by a negative stimulus, China’s growth rate would likely to fall and our revenue could correspondingly decline.

Government Regulations. Our business and results of operations are subject to PRC government policies and regulations regarding the following:

Interest Rate and Inflation Challenges. We are subject to market risks due to fluctuations in interest rates and refinancing of mid-term debt. Higher interest rates may also affect our revenues, gross profits and our ability to raise and service debt and to finance our developments. Inflation could result in increases in the price of raw materials and labor costs.  We do not believe that inflation or deflation has affected our business materially.

Acquisitions of Land Use Rights and Associated Costs. We acquire land use rights for development through the governmental auction process and by obtaining land use rights permits from third parties through negotiation, acquisition of entities, co-development or other joint venture arrangements. Our ability to secure sufficient financing for land use rights acquisitions and property development depends on internal cash flows in addition to lenders’ perceptions of our credit reliability, market conditions in the capital markets, investors’ perception of our securities, the PRC economy and the PRC government regulations that affect the availability and cost of financing real estate companies or property purchasers.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we consider our estimates on revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, and real estate property refunds and compensation payables to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to these estimates in the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the periods indicated in U.S. dollars

Revenue.

We did not generate any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. In addition, since our Logistics Center is still in its development stage and therefore is not yet in operation, we have not started providing any logistics service within our port terminal and have not generated any sales from providing such services.

General and administrative expenses.

Our general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, office expenses, utilities, business travel, amortization expenses (including legal expenses, accounting expenses and other professional service expenses) and stock compensation. General and administrative expenses were $1,839,247 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $502,024 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $1,337,223 or 266%.  The significant increase is mainly because of the increase of expenses related to professional services.

Loss from operations.

As a result of the factors described above, operating loss was $1,840,716 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to operating loss of $506,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of operating loss of $1,334,406, or approximately 264%. The significant increase is mainly because of the increase of expenses relating to general and administrative expenses.

Other expenses.

We had other expenses totaling $2,156,393 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to other expense totaling $786,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The significant increase in expenses is mainly attributable to the interest of convertible bond issued on December 19, 2015, which was described elsewhere in the Quarterly Report. Our interest income and expenses were $56 and $2,159,276, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to interest income and expenses of $9 and $786,558, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Income tax.

We received an income tax benefit of $291,997 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $323,214 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The slight decrease is mainly due to the decrease of net loss incurred from Wuhan Newport.

Net loss.

Foreign currency translation.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB.

Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the financial statements denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Our foreign currency translation loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $8,732,803, compared to a foreign currency gain of $42,895 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $8,775,698. The significant decrease is mainly attributable to the depreciation of RMB against U.S. dollars.

Net loss available to common stockholders.

Net loss available to our common stockholders was $0.02 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net loss of $0.01 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Our interest income and expenses were $132 and $4,317,961, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to interest income and expenses of $26 and $1,595,846, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

We received an income tax benefit of $598,924 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $645,682 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is primary attributable to the decrease of net loss incurred from Wuhan Newport.

Net loss available to common stockholders.

Net loss available to our common stockholders was $0.04 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net loss of $0.01 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the six months indicated:

We had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $44,751 as of June 30, 2016. We have historically funded our working capital needs through advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from stockholders. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the state and level of our operations, and the timing of capital needed for projects.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,105,786 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,066,683 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $960,897. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily contributed by the following factors:

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,851 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing an increase of $1,851 in cash outflow. The increase was primarily because of the increase of cash used for purpose of purchasing equipment. 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $640,151 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net cash of $2,018,398 provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing a decrease of $1,378,247 in cash inflow. The decrease was primarily because we had advances of $716,661 from related parties in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $2,181,658 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

As shown in our financial statements, we have negative cash flows from operations, sustained recurring losses for a number of years and currently we are not generating revenues. Over the past years, the Company has been funded through a combination of bank loans and advances from shareholders. On January 29, 2016, we received an undertaking commitment letter provided by our majority shareholder who is willing to provide sufficient funding on an as-needed basis. In addition, the Company plans to dispose of the existing developed real estate properties with market value of approximately $42 million when the Company needs cash flows. The Company believes that, as a result of these, it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements for a reasonable period of time.

Contractual Obligations

Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (“Jasper”), a related party, holds an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $75,000,000 with a maturity date of December 19, 2018. Upon maturity, Jasper may convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On January 29, 2016, we received an undertaking commitment letter provided by the our majority shareholder who is willing to provide sufficient funding on an as-needed basis. We believe that the financial commitment provided by our majority shareholder could provide our company with sufficient capital resources to meet our capital needs for a reasonable period of time.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

As described in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we not believe recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2016-13, if currently adopted, would have a material effect of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls 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. 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 the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
