Going Concern

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of approximately $2,677,655 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and suffered from the accumulated deficit of $68,575,758 at that date. The net cash used in operations were approximately $365,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Management believes that its capital resources are not currently adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy for twelve months from the date of this report. The Company may seek to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of equity and from bank loans, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail or cease operations.

 

Management believes that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Listing Status

 

On November 26, 2018, Sharing Economy International Inc. (the “Company”) received a staff determination notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that as a result of its failure to comply with Nasdaq’s shareholder approval requirements set forth in Listing Rule 5635(c) (the “Rule”), the staff determined to deny the Company’s request for continued listing based on a plan of compliance submitted on October 26, 2018. The Company’s common stock was delisted from Nasdaq at the open of trading on December 5, 2018. The Company’s common stock is currently trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol “SEII”. On January 2, 2020, the Company is trading on OTCQB.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2020. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, but does not include all disclosures required by the generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts and other receivables, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of the value of stock-based compensation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions may at times exceed insured amounts. It is believed that the Company mitigates such risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC Topic 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other receivables, short-term bank loans, convertible notes payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amount due to a related party and income taxes payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

ASC Topic 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis, nor did the Company have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s operations are carried out in Hong Kong. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in Hong Kong. The Company’s operations in Hong Kong are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with large commercial banks in Hong Kong, Singapore and China, none of these deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amounts of $0 and $48,952, respectively. 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statements of operations in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Impairment loss has been recorded in current period.

 

    Useful life
Office equipment and furniture   5 years
Vehicles   5 years
Vessels   5 years

 

Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $33,842 and $6,245, respectively.

 

Depreciation expense from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $0 and $689,286, respectively.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company conducted an impairment assessment on property, equipment and intangible asset based on the guidelines established in ASC Topic 360 to determine the estimated fair market value of property, equipment and intangible asset as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Such analysis considered future use of such equipment, consultation with equipment resellers, subsequent sales of price of equipment held for sale, and other industry factors. Upon completion of the annual impairment analysis, the Company recorded impairment charges on long-lived assets of $0 and $13,586,059, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, in relation to its discontinued operations.

 

Revenue recognition

 

In May 2014, FASB issued an update Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) (“ASU 2014-09”) establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company adopted this standard in 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Based on an evaluation of the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s sources of revenue, the Company has concluded that ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from customers.

Continuing operations

 

The Company derives its revenues from the sale of licence and advertising right and in a term of certain periods. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
  determine the transaction price;
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

  

Discontinued operations

 

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of equipment upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and, generally, a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period.

 

All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC Topic 718, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the vesting period or immediately if fully vested and non-forfeitable. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) or Hong Kong dollars (HKD). For the subsidiaries and affiliates, whose functional currencies are the RMB or HKD, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $19,919 and $169,449, respectively.

 

The Company did not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

Translation of amounts from RMB and HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

    March 31, 2020     March 31, 2019  
Period-end RMB:US$ exchange rate     7.1363       6.7112  
Period average RMB:US$ exchange rate     6.8609       6.7447  
Period-end HK$:US$ exchange rate     7.7872       7.8498  
Period average HK$:US$ exchange rate     7.8000       7.8000  

 

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company did not have any common stock equivalents or potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact. 

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

 

    Three months ended

    2020     2019  
Net Loss for basic and diluted attributable to common shareholders   $ (2,275,071 )   $ (24,720,429 )

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 included net loss, and unrealized gain from foreign currency translation adjustments. 

  

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s financial presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. In December 2017, January 2018, July 2018, December 2018 and March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 & 11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, respectively, which contain modifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under the Optional Transition Method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach and elected to utilize the Optional Transition Method. In addition, the Company elected the land easement transition practical expedient and did not reassess whether an existing or expired land easement is a lease or contains a lease if it has not historically been accounted for as a lease. The adoption did not impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. 

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment. ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share based payments granted to non-employees with that of share based payments granted to employees. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

 

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On December 30, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved to enter into a VIE Termination Agreement relating to the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement, Operating Agreement, Equity Pledge Agreement, Option Agreement, Voting Rights Proxy Agreement dated October 12, 2007 with Huayang Companies. The operations in China was closed down and fully written-off at December 31, 2019.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

 

Securities purchase agreement and related convertible note and warrants

 

On May 2, 2018, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, the Company closed a private placement of securities with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor purchased a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Iliad Note”) in the original principal amount of $900,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Iliad Note, and a two year Warrant to purchase 134,328 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.18 per share (the “Warrant”). In connection with the Iliad Note, the Company paid an original issue discount of $150,000 and paid issuance costs of $45,018 which will be reflected as a debt discount and amortized over the Iliad Note term. The Iliad Note bears interest at 10% per annum, is unsecured, and is due on the date that is fifteen months from May 2, 2018. The warrants shall expire on the last calendar day of the month in which the second anniversary of the Issue Date occurs. On November 8, 2018, the Company converted an aggregate of $27,811 and $47,189 outstanding principal and interest of the Iliad Note, respectively, into a total of 36,621 shares of its common stock. On January 11, 2019, the Company converted an aggregate of $34,103 and $15,897 outstanding principal and interest of the Iliad Note, respectively, into 266,667 shares of its common stock.

 

The Investor has the right at any time after May 2, 2018 until the outstanding balance has been paid in full to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares of common stock of the Company at conversion price of $6.70 per share (the “Lender Conversion Price”). The Lender Conversion Price is subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Iliad Note. The conversion price for each Redemption Conversion (the “Redemption Conversion Price”) shall be the lesser of (a) the Lender Conversion Price, and (b) the Market Price; provided, however, in no event shall the Redemption Conversion Price be less than $2.00 per share (“Conversion Price Floor”) unless the Company waive the Conversion Price Floor.

 

This debt instrument includes embedded components including a put option. The Company evaluated these embedded components to determine whether they are embedded derivatives within the scope of ASC 815 that should be separately carried at fair value. ASC 815-15-25-1 provides guidance on when an embedded component should be separated from its host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative. Based on this analysis, the Company believes that the put option is clearly and closely related to the debt instrument and does not meet the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, in connection with this Iliad Note, the Company recorded a debt discount for (a) the original issue discount of $150,000 (b) the relative fair value of the warrants issued of $152,490 and (c) legal fees and other fees paid in connection with the Iliad Note aggregating $45,018. There is no beneficial conversion feature on this Iliad Note. The debt discount shall be accreted on a straight line basis over the term of this Iliad Note.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, convertible debt consisted of the following:

 

    March 31,
2020
    December 31,
2019
 
    (Unaudited)     (Audited)  
Principal   $ 838,571     $ 838,571  
Unamortized discount     -       -  
Convertible debt, net   $ 838,571     $ 838,571  

 

There was no amortization of discount for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest amounted to $85,803 and $63,303, respectively.

Litigation: 

 

On April 25, 2019, ECPower (HK) Company Limited (“EC Power”), a subsidiary of SEII, filed a claim against The Dairy Farm Limited (“Dairy Farm”) in respect of the cooperation agreement between the two parties for the battery rental business at 7-Eleven outlets in Hong Kong during the period from September 2017 to February 2018. The claim is for a total compensation of HK$1,395,000 (approximately $178,846) which comprises of (i) HK$45,000 (approximately $5,769) as compensation for interest and administration cost incurred as a result of Dairy Farm’s delay in payment of EC Power’s share of the rental income, and (ii) HK$1,350,000 (approximately $173,077) as compensation for Dairy Farm’s early termination of the cooperation agreement without any valid proof of fault on the part of EC Power.

 

Legal proceedings:

 

On June 10, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, Ecrent Worldwide Company Limited (“Ecrent Worldwide”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Universal Sharing Limited (formerly known as Ecrent Holdings Limited), received a writ of summon (the “Summon”) issued by Messrs Wilkinson & Grist on behalf of Mr. Michael Andrew BERMAN and Mr. Eric Hans ISRAEL, who were the former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Ecrent (America) Company Limited (“Ecrent America”) and Ecrent (USA) Company Limited (“Ecrent USA”). Both Ecrent America and Ecrent USA were the former subsidiaries of Universal Sharing Limited. On the same day, the Summon also delivered to Mr. Chan Tin Chi, the major shareholder of SEII and his spouse, Ms. Deborah Yuen Wai Ming. Pursuant to the US Judgement dated on September 25, 2019 issued by the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Nassau, the Summon demands Ecrent Worldwide, Mr. Chan Tin Chi, and Ms. Deborah Yuen Wai Ming to fully settle an amount of approximately $241,706 and $103,841 to Mr. Berman and Mr. Israel, respectively representing the unpaid salary, benefits, expenses and incentive bonus. SEII intends to dispute these proceedings that the US Judgement is not enforceable under the Hong Kong jurisdiction.

 

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company discloses the amount of the accrual if the financial statements would be otherwise misleading.

 

When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then the Company discloses an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made or discloses that an estimate cannot be made.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

Historically, our primary operations involved the design, manufacture and distribution of a line of proprietary high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery to the textile industry, which has terminated in December, 2019.

 

With the termination of the manufacturing businesses, we are actively exploring other new ventures and opportunities that could contribute to our business in the future.

 

Given the termination of our manufacturing business, we continued to pursue what we believe are high growth opportunities for the Company, particularly our new business divisions focused on the development of sharing economy platforms and related rental businesses within the company. These initiatives are still in an early stage and are dependent in large part on availability of capital to fund their future growth. We did not generate significant revenues from our sharing economy business initiatives in 2019 or during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Recent developments

 

Inspirit Studio

 

During the period, BuddiGo, the sharing economy mobile platform developed by Inspirit Studio Limited (“Inspirit Studio”), continuously promoted its service to the local market in Hong Kong. BuddiGo offers a wide range of errand services. Currently, about 80 percent of the orders received are for on-demand urgent delivery of items such as documents, flowers and cakes. Food delivery services are also available. During the period from June 2018 to March 31, 2019, over 1,200 individuals have officially registered as sell-side buddies, who completed over 600 delivery orders from June 2018 to March 31, 2020, majority orders were happened in the third quarter of year 2018. In addition, BuddiGo has signed up with a number of local business partners to provide ongoing delivery services for these clients. BuddiGo’s goal is to connect with the community and deliver localized content featuring BuddiGo’s core features and advantages. BuddiGo is actively seeking strategic investors or collaborative parties who are enthusiastic about its business model and can help achieve its business targets and expand into different countries.

Major banks, real estate developers and consumer products manufacturers and retailers are our target clients. More importantly, our presence in Mainland China can facilitate the rollout of franchise programs of our business units, which is one of the revenue drivers for the Company.

In December 2019, we have acquired the ECrent global businesses.

 

Going forward, we will continue targeting the technology and global sharing economy markets, by developing online platforms and rental business partnerships that will drive the global development of sharing through economical rental business models.

  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated 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. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes and the valuation of equity transactions.

 

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we 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. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

  

As a basis for estimating the likelihood of collection has been established, we consider a number of factors when determining reserves for uncollectable accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably reliable methodology to estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable. We review our allowances for doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We also consider whether the historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers or other parties that we have business relations with were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

17

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 

    Useful Life
Office equipment and furniture   5 Years
Vehicles   5 Years
Vessels   5 Years

  

The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statements of income and comprehensive income in the year of disposition.

 

We examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. 

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the vesting period or immediately if the award is non-forfeitable. The Accounting Standards Codification also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Additionally, effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 permits the election of an accounting policy for forfeitures of share-based payment awards, either to recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate forfeitures over the vesting period of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur and the cumulative impact of this change did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Through September 30, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 – “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions are expected to be met. The Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee share based payments until service conditions are met, which generally aligns with the vesting period of the equity instrument, and the Company adjusts the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption.

Currency Exchange Rates

 

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries is the RMB and Hong Kong Dollar.

 

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our operating subsidiary. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders’ equity. We have not used any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future.

  

Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of our parent company. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB and the Hong Kong dollar. To the extent we hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB or HKD against the U.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB or HKD against the U.S. dollar could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. In December 2017, January 2018, July 2018, December 2018, December 2019 and March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 & 11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, respectively, which contain modifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under the Optional Transition Method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach and elected to utilize the Optional Transition Method. In addition, the Company elected the land easement transition practical expedient and did not reassess whether an existing or expired land easement is a lease or contains a lease if it has not historically been accounted for as a lease. The adoption did not impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements nor did it result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. 

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment. ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share based payments granted to non-employees with that of share based payments granted to employees. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and there was no cumulative effect of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

We believe that the relationships with local banks are in good standing and we have not encountered difficulties in obtaining needed borrowings from local banks.  

 

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

 

    Payments Due by Period  
Contractual obligations:   Total     Less than
1 year
    1-3 years     3-5 years     5+ years

At the date of filing, both parties have not reached into the mutual agreement.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Inflation

 

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including Anthony Che Chung Chan, our chief executive officer, and Ka Man Lam, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

 

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation, the management concluded that, because our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Our management identified material weaknesses related to (i) Lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions, (ii) Lack of accounting expertise in US GAAP, and (iii) Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines. Our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at March 31, 2020.

 

24

 

 

Due to the current size and nature of business, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible, and we continue to rely on third parties for a significant portion of the preparation of our financial statements. As a result, we have not been able to take steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

 

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

 

In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
