Corporate History

The principal activities of Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. (“SRRE”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) are real estate development and property brokerage services, including real estate marketing services, property leasing services; and property management services in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Our current ownership interests in our various subsidiaries and other entities is set forth in the below organizational chart.

Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc. (“CY-SRRE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SRRE, was established in the Cayman Islands on April 30, 2004 as a limited liability company. Shanghai Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SHXJY”) was established in the PRC on August 20, 2001 as a limited liability company. SHXJY was originally owned by a Taiwanese company, of which the principal and controlling shareholder was Lin Chi-Jung. On June 8, 2004, all the fully paid up capital of SHXJY was transferred to CY-SRRE. On June 25, 2004, SHXJY and two individuals established a subsidiary, namely, Suzhou Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZXJY”) in the PRC, at which point in time, SHXJY held a 90% equity interest in SZXJY.

On August 9, 2005, SHXJY sold a 10% equity interest in SZXJY to a company owned by a director of SZXJY, and transferred a 5% equity interest in SZXJY to CY-SRRE. Following the disposal and the transfer, CY-SRRE effectively held an 80% equity interest in SZXJY. On November 24, 2006, CY-SRRE, SHXJY, a director of SZXJY and a third party established a subsidiary, namely, Suzhou Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZSY”) in the PRC, with CY-SRRE holding a 12.5% equity interest, SHXJY holding a 26% equity interest and the director of SZXJY holding a 12.5% equity interest in SZSY. At the date of incorporation, SRRE and the director of SZXJY entered into a voting agreement that provided that SRRE is entitled to exercise the voting right in respect of his 12.5% equity interest in SZSY. As a result of the voting agreement, SRRE effectively holds has 51% of the voting power of SZSY. On September 24, 2007, CY-SRRE sold a 5% equity interest in SZXJY to a company owned by a director of SZXJY. Following the disposal, CY-SRRE effectively holds a 75% equity interest in SZXJY.

In October 2011, SHXJY purchased a 24% interest in Linyi Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“LYSY”) and acquired approximately 103,385 square meters of land for the purpose of developing the land into villa-style residential housing. On March 6, 2012, SHXJY established a wholly-owned subsidiary, namely Linyi Rui Lin Construction and Design Company Limited (“LYRL”). SHXJY’s 24% equity interest in LYSY was then transferred to LYRL. In agreement with Zhang Shu Qin, who owns 51% of LYSY, we have the right to vote 51% interest and thus have 75% of the voting power of LYSY.

LIN RAY YANG Enterprise Ltd. (“LRY”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SRRE, was established in the British Virgin Islands on November 13, 2003 as a limited liability company. On February 5, 2004, LRY established a wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai Shang Yang Investment Management and Consulting Company Limited (“SHSY”) in the PRC as a limited liability company.

On May 8, 2006, LRY acquired 20% of the equity interest in SZGFH from the third party. Following the acquisition, LRY effectively held 100% of the equity interest in SZGFH. The Company sold SZGFH in 2017.

In 2011, we acquired a 49% ownership of Wuhan Yuan Yu Long Property Development Company Limited (“WHYYL”); the purpose of this project company was for a development project in Wuhan.

SRRE was initially incorporated in Texas on October 10, 1996, under the name of Parallax Entertainment, Inc. (“Parallax”). On December 12, 2003, Parallax changed its name to Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc.

On August 31, 2004, SRRE, CY-SRRE and Lin Chi-Jung, an individual and agent for the beneficial shareholder of CY-SRRE, i.e., Ace Develop, entered into an exchange agreement under which SRRE issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the beneficial shareholder or its designees, in exchange for all outstanding capital stock of CY-SRRE. The transaction closed on October 5, 2004. Lin Chi-Jung is Chairman of the Board of Directors of SRRE, the President of CY-SRRE and the principal and controlling shareholder of Ace Develop.

Also on August 31, 2004, SRRE, LRY and Lin Chi-Jung, an individual and agent for beneficial shareholders of LRY, i.e., Ace Develop, Planet Tech and Systems Tech, entered into an exchange agreement under which SRRE issued 10 million shares of common stock to the beneficial shareholders, or their designees, in exchange for all outstanding capital stock of LRY. The transaction was closed on October 5, 2004. Lin Chi-Jung is Chairman of the Board of Directors of SRRE, the President of LRY and the principal and controlling shareholder of Ace Develop. Regarding the 10 million shares of common stock of SRRE issued in this transaction, SRRE issued 8.5 million shares to Ace Develop, 750,000 shares to Planet Tech and 750,000 shares to Systems Tech.

On May 23, 2006, Sunrise Estate Development Group, Inc. changed its name to Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc.

General Business Description

SRRE has gone through a series of transactions leading to the completion of a reverse merger on October 5, 2004. Prior to the closing of the exchange agreements described in “Corporate History” above, SRRE was an inactive "shell" company. Following the closing, SRRE, through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, CY-SRRE and LRY, has engaged in the property brokerage services, real estate marketing services, property leasing services and property management services in the PRC.

The Company recognizes that in order to differentiate itself from the market, it should avoid direct competition with large-scale property developers who have their own marketing departments. Our objective is to develop a niche position with marketing alliances with medium size and smaller developers and become their outsourcing marketing and sales agents. This strategic plan is designed to expand our activities beyond our existing revenue base, enabling us to assume higher investment risk and giving us flexibility in collaborating with partnering developers. The plan is aimed at improving our capital structure, diversifying our revenue base, creating higher values and equity returns.

SRRE operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, CY-SRRE and LRY. Neither CY-SRRE nor LRY have operations but conduct operations in Mainland China through their respective subsidiaries that are based in the PRC. CY-SRRE operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, SHXJY. LRY operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, SHSY. SHXJY and SHSY are property agency business earning commission revenue from marketing and sales services to developers. Our company organization chart is as follows:

Figure 1: Company Organization Chart

It was previously known as Shanghai Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Co., Limited. The company changed its name to Shanghai Shang Yang Investment Management and Consulting Company Limited on May 28, 2013.

SHGXL is consolidated into the Company’s financials because the Company has control of the development rights and are beneficiary of the revenue SHGXL generates.

Our major business is agency sales and real estate development. Additionally, we expand our business to the field of financial activities such as entity investment, fund management, financial services and so on.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, 4% of our net revenues of $1,233,006 were generated from our brokerage operations. For these services we earned a commission fee calculated as a percentage of the sales prices. We have focused our sales on the whole China market, especially in secondary cities. To expand our business agencies, we have established subsidiaries and branches in Shanghai, Suzhou, Quanjiao, Shangqiu, and Wuhan.

Since we started our agency sales operations in 2001, we have established a reputation as a sales and marketing agency for new projects. With our accumulated expertise and experience, we intend to take a more aggressive role by participating in property investments. We plan to select property developers with outstanding qualifications as our strategic partners, and continue to build strength in design, planning, positioning and marketing services. Beginning in 2012, we commenced our first development project in Wuhan and Linyi and started the initial construction in the first quarter of 2012. In Wuhan, we commenced the construction of Phase 1 of the project in the third quarter of 2012.There are a total of eight buildings. The eight buildings that are open for sale currently have a 90% sales rate. As of April, 2018 , the project has sold 726 apartment units with an area of 81,221 square meters. All apartment units have been sold and only store fronts on the first floor and parking lots remain on sale.

Since October 20, 2014, the Linyi project has constructed 121 units, which encompasses approximately 40% of the gross sales area. Proceeds from sales will be used to finance the constructions of the subsequent phases of the project. We are applying for bank loans and other forms of funding, however, there are no assurances we will be able to obtain future financings. As of April 2018, the Linyi project has sold 108 units with a sales area of 41,094 square meters and we have started phase two construction of about 17,000 square meters.

SHDEW was established in June 2013 as a skincare and cosmetic company. We own 23.08% of the common stock of SHDEW. The company has made progress in its operation. Its WeChat store had a membership of over a million members as of December 31, 2017. SHDEW is developing its own skincare products as well as solidifying its position in the ecommerce platform.

Business Activities

Our main operating subsidiaries, SHXJY and SHSY, have engaged in sales and marketing agency work for newly built property units. We also have developed a network of landowners and developers, allowing us to explore opportunities in property investments.

In order to build a cushion against the cyclical nature of the real estate industry and have a more diversified revenue base, we established another operating subsidiary, SZGFH, in 2005 for property management and rental operations.

Additionally, we expanded into real estate development in 2011 by establishing LYSY and investing in WHYYL, an unconsolidated affiliate. LYSY has a real estate development project located in Linyi City Economic Development Zone, Shandong Province, PRC, which covers a site area of approximately 103,385 square meters for development of villa-style residential housing buildings. WHYYL is developing a real estate project in Wuhan, with a site area of approximately 27,950 square meters for development of eight high-rise residential buildings.

We added a new business line in 2015 and categorize it as our service sales. The business is mainly to provide business consulting services.

Commission Based Services

Commission based services refer to marketing and sales agency operations, which provide the following services:

a. Integrated Marketing Planning

b. Advertising Planning & Execution

c. Sales Planning and Execution

In this business, we sign a marketing and sales agency agreement with property developers to undertake the marketing and sales activities of a specific project. The scope of service varies according to clients' needs; it could be a full package of all the above services, a combination of any two of the above services or any single service.

Two thirds of our revenue in 2016 was from commission-based services. We secure these projects via bidding or direct appointments. As a result of our relationships with existing clients and our sales track record, we have secured a number of cases from prior clients on subsequent phases of projects.

Normally, before a developer retains us, we evaluate and determine the Average Sales Value of a project. This value will be proposed to the developer, and the parties agree on an Average Sales Value as the basis of our agency agreement. The actual sales price of the project is generally priced higher than the Average Sales Value depending on market conditions. On average, we have been to sell the property at a small premium over Average Sales Value.

Our normal commission structure is a combination of the following:

a) Base Commission of 1.0% - 1.5% based on the Average sales value.

b) Surplus Commission of 10% - 30% based on the difference between Average Sales Value and actual sales price.

Our wholly owned subsidiaries, SHXJY and SHSY, engage in this sales and marketing phase of our business.

Real Estate Development

In mid-2011, we established a project company in Wuhan of which we own 49%. We commenced the construction of phase one of the project in the third quarter of 2012 and the pre-sale of the phase one in the first quarter of 2013. There are a total of 8 buildings. As of November 2017, all resident units have been sold excepted of commercial shops and underground park units.

In October 2011, we established LYSY and own 24% of the company. During the first quarter of 2012, we acquired approximately 103,385 square meters for the purpose of developing villa-style residential housing. We began construction in mid-2012 and as of December 31, 2016 have constructed 121 units, which encompasses all units in phase 1. The phase 1 has completed construction in May 2015. The sales started in November 2013; we have made sales of 104 units at the end of November 2017. Proceeds from sales will be used to finance the constructions of the subsequent phases of the project. The phase 2 has begun construction of 17,000 square meters (“sqm”) in October 2017.

On March 13, 2014, the Company has signed a joint development agreement with Zhongji Pufa Real Estate Co. According to this agreement, the Company obtained a right to develop the Guangxing Lu (“GXL”) project, which located in the Putuo district, Shanghai, PRC. This project covers a site area of approximately 2,502 square meters for the development of one building of apartment. Presale began on March 2016, and construction was completed on March of 2017. As of December 31, 2017 , the project has sold 79 units with a sales area of 3,967 square meters. There have been 18 units subject to presale contract termination out of maximum presale of 97 units. The project is preparing for the final acceptance of construction by the government authorities. Regulation issued in 2017 require all commercial and office buildings be used in accordance to what it was originally intended when the project registered its plans. Our GXL project was inspected by the government and was found to be in accordance with our originally registered plan. However, as of May 10, 2018, we were waiting for the proper authority to allow continued selling of the units.

We are applying for bank loans and other forms of funding; however, there are no assurances we will be able to obtain future financings.

Mainland China's Property Sector

The industry's macro environment is improving, and the property sector is gradually developing to be a more regulated market. Stable economic growth provides a solid and secure base for investment returns in the property sector.

Government regulation

In 2017, the Shanghai Municipal Construction and Construction Commission issued the Opinions on the Clarification of Commercial and Office Project (Document 2017 No. 400). This new regulation requires all commercial and office buildings be used in accordance to what it was originally intended when the project registered its plans.

The State Taxation Administration issued the Regulation of Land Value-added Tax Clearing and Administrating in May 2009, effective on June 1, 2009. It requires developers to clear the land value-added tax, which have completed development projects and have finished sale, or have sold development projects under constructed, or have transferred the land use right to others.

In December 2009, the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Supervision, the Central Government, and five other agencies announced in “Notice Regarding to Improve Upon Land Sale and Receivable Management,” to increase the initial payment of land purchases to 50% of the purchase price and the entire purchase price must be paid in full within the year. Prior to the announcement, initial payment was around 20% to 30%.

On January 1, 2010, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation re-imposed the business tax on total proceeds from the resale of certain residential properties held for less than five years. The China Banking Regulatory Authority withdrew its earlier policy and emphasized the minimum 40% down payment requirement for mortgages for second properties. On March 8, 2010, the Ministry of Land and Resources issued a circular to further strengthen the supervision on land supply, requiring a real estate developer to pay at least 50% of the land premium within one month and 100% within one year after the land use right contract is executed. On April 17, 2010, the State Council issued the Circular on Firmly Restraining Soaring Housing Prices in Certain Cities. According to this circular,

•

A down payment must be no less than 30% of the purchase price for first self-use housing unit purchases by a family with a gross construction area of more than 90 square meters.;

•

The minimum down payment for the second housing unit purchased by a family is increased from 40% to 50% and the loan interest rate must be no less than 110% of benchmark lending interest rate;

•

Down payment for the third or more housing unit purchased by any family and the loan interest rate must be further increased significantly based on the rate for the first and second housing units, as determined by commercial banks based on their assessment of the risks;

•

Commercial banks may suspend extending loans to families for their purchases of the third or more housing units in regions where commercial housing unit prices are too high or have risen too fast or supply of housing units is insufficient. The banks may also suspend extending loans to individuals for their purchase of housing units outside of their registered residence if they cannot furnish evidence of their tax or social insurance premium payment for at least one year locally in the region where the subject housing units are located; and

•

Local governments are allowed to limit the total number of housing units one can purchase in certain period in light of the local situation.

On January 10, 2010, the government established 11 measures to strengthen management of the real estate market to address rising real estate prices. The measures called for an increasing supply of low-cost houses for low-income families and common residential houses, encouraging reasonably priced house buying while limiting purchases for speculation and investment, strengthening real estate project loan risk management and market supervision, speeding up construction of residential housing projects for low-income households, and specifying responsibilities of local governments.

In January 2011, the State Council released an additional eight new measures to put downward pressure on property prices by:

Requiring local governments to set housing price targets in proportion with local income levels for 2011;

Requiring a business tax for housing sales within 5 years of purchase must be levied on total sales value;

Strengthening the management of land supply for housing;

Imposing purchase restrictions in all large- & medium-sized cities. Families already owning a residential property are restricted to buy only one more, while those already owning two or more properties are prohibited to purchase additional properties;

Accelerating the construction of social security residential housings;

Providing that the down payment ratio for second-home purchases must not be less than 60%, up from 50%, with an interest rate at least 1.1 times of the benchmark rate;

Improving guidance for the media's housing market coverage;

Providing for implementation & accountability for local governments over the housing price control targets.

In May 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) began the “one house, one price” policy which requires developers to enhance its disclosure of the residential properties’ offering prices and available supply volume. This policy is designed to prevent developers from posting false supply volume and prices to fuel speculative price volatility.

In July 2011, the China’s State Council declared that it will continue to implement tightening policies and expand the housing purchase restrictions to second and third-tier cities.

In late February and March 2013, the PRC government issued the “New Five Policies” for administration of the housing market and detailed implementation rules, which revealed the PRC government’s strong determination on curbing the increase of housing prices by requiring more stringent implementation of the housing price control measures. For example, in the cities where there are existing restrictions on housing sale, if the housing prices are rising fast due to insufficient local housing supply, the local governments are required to take more stringent measures to restrict housing units from being sold to those households that own more than one housing unit. In these cities, the minimum down payment for the second housing unit purchased by a household may be further increased from 60% and the loan interest rate may be raised to be more than 110% of benchmark lending interest rate, as the local housing price control measures require. The New Five Policies also reiterated and emphasized the implementation of the 20% income tax on capital gain generated from housing unit sale. Following the request of the central government, Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities in China have announced detailed regulations to implement the New Five Policies in late March 2013, to further cool down the local real estate markets.

In July 2012, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly issued a notice to further tighten the land use administration and seek stricter enforcement of the existing real estate market regulations, which include, in particular, enhanced control over the floor area and plot ratio of land for housing purpose, closer scrutiny on the qualification of land bidders, and strengthened investigation and punishment on land bidding winners who leave land idle for more than one year.

Such measures and policies by the government have negatively affected the real estate market and caused a reduction in transactions in the real estate market. While these measures and policies remain in effect, they may continue to depress the real estate market, dissuade would-be buyers from making purchases, reduce transaction volume, cause a decline in average selling prices, and prevent developers from raising the capital they need and increase developers’ costs to start new projects.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS

SRRE has identified a number of risk factors faced by the Company. These factors, among others, may cause actual results, events or performance to differ materially from those expressed in this 10-K or in press releases or other public disclosures. You should be aware of the existence of these factors.

RISKS RELATING TO THE GROUP

SRRE is a holding company and depends on its subsidiaries’ cash flows to meet its obligations.

SRRE is a holding company, and it conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries. As a result, its ability to meet any obligations depends upon its subsidiaries’ cash flows and payment of funds as dividends, loans, advances or other payments. In addition, the payment of dividends or the making of loans, advances or other payments to SRRE may be subject to regulatory or contractual restrictions.

Our invoicing for commissions may be delayed.

Generally, we recognize our commission revenues after the contracts signed with developers are completed and confirmations are received from the developers. However, sometimes we do not recognize income even when we have rendered our services for any of the following reasons:

The developers have not received payments from potential purchasers who have promised to pay the outstanding sum by cash;

The purchasers, who need to obtain mortgage financing to pay the outstanding balance due, are unable to obtain the necessary financing from their banks;

Banks are sometimes unwilling to grant the necessary bridge loan to the developers in time due to the developers’ relatively low credit rating;

The developers tend to be in arrears with sales commissions; therefore, do not grant confirmation to us to be able to invoice them accordingly.

Development of new business may stretch our cash flow and strain our operation efficiency.

Business expansion and the need to integrate operations arising from the expansion may place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources, and will further contribute to a need to increase in our financial needs.

Our acquisition of new property may involve risks.

These acquisitions involve several risks including, but not limited to, the following:

a. The acquired properties may not perform as well as we expected or ever become profitable.

b. Improvements to the properties may ultimately cost significantly more than we had originally estimated.

Additional acquisitions might harm our business.

As part of our business strategy, we may seek to acquire or invest in additional businesses, products, services or technologies that we think could complement or expand our business. If we identify an appropriate acquisition opportunity, we might be unable to negotiate the terms of that acquisition successfully, finance it, or integrate it into our existing business and operations. We may also be unable to select, manage or absorb any future acquisitions successfully. Furthermore, the negotiation of potential acquisitions, as well as the integration of an acquired business, would divert management time and other resources. We may have to use a substantial portion of our available cash to consummate an acquisition. If we complete acquisitions through exchange of our securities, our shareholders could suffer significant dilution. In addition, we cannot assure you that any particular acquisition, even if successfully completed, will ultimately benefit our business.

Our real estate investments are subject to numerous risks.

We are subject to risks that generally relate to investments in real estate. The investment returns available from equity investments in real estate depend in large part on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the related properties, as well as the expenses incurred. In addition, a variety of other factors affect income from properties and real estate values, including governmental regulations, insurance, zoning, tax and eminent domain laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. For example, new or existing real estate zoning or tax laws can make it more expensive and/or time-consuming to develop real property or expand, modify or renovate properties. When interest rates increase, the cost of acquiring, developing, expanding or renovating real property increases and real property values may decrease as the number of potential buyers decrease. Similarly, as financing becomes less available, it becomes more difficult both to acquire and to sell real property. Finally, governments can, under eminent domain laws, take real property. Sometimes this taking is for less compensation than the owner believes the property is worth. Any of these factors could have a material adverse impact on results of our operations or financial condition. In addition, equity real estate investments, such as the investments we hold and any additional properties that we may acquire, are relatively difficult to sell quickly. If our properties do not generate sufficient revenue to meet operating expenses, including debt servicing and capital expenditures, our income will be reduced.

Competition, economic conditions and similar factors affecting us, and the real estate industry in general, could affect our performance.

Our properties and business are subject to all operating risks common to the real estate industry. These risks include:

Adverse effects of general and local economic conditions;

Increases in operating costs attributable to inflation and other factors; and

Overbuilding in certain property sectors.

These factors could adversely affect our revenues, profitability and results of operations.

Our business is susceptible to fluctuations in the real estate market of China, especially in certain areas of eastern China where a significant portion of our operations are concentrated, which may adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

We conduct our real estate services business in China. Our business depends substantially on the conditions of the PRC real estate market. Demand for private residential real estate in China has grown rapidly in the recent decade but such growth is often coupled with volatility in market conditions and fluctuation in real estate prices. Fluctuations of supply and demand in China’s real estate market are caused by economic, social, political and other factors. To the extent fluctuations in the real estate market adversely affect real estate transaction volumes or prices, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

As a significant portion of our operations is concentrated in Shanghai and Jiangsu Province, any decrease in demand or real estate prices or any other adverse developments in these regions may materially and adversely affect our total real estate transaction volumes and average selling prices, which may in turn adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. These economic uncertainties involve, among other things, conditions of supply and demand in local markets and changes in consumer confidence and income, employment levels, increase in mortgage interest rates and government regulations. These risks and uncertainties could periodically have an adverse effect on consumer demand for and the pricing of our homes, which could cause our operating revenues to decline. In addition, builders are subject to various risks, many of them outside the control of the homebuilder including competitive overbuilding, availability and cost of building lots, materials and labor, adverse weather conditions, cost overruns, changes in government regulations, and increases in real estate taxes and other local government fees. A reduction in our revenues could in turn negatively affect the market price of our securities.

Our net income is generated primarily from an investment in one of our unconsolidated affiliates, and we are dependent upon advances and expected distributions from such affiliate to operate and grow our business and satisfy our liabilities.

We are dependent upon our investment in SHDEW, an unconsolidated affiliate, to generate our net income and expect such investment to generate the majority of our cash receipts thought the payment of dividends and advances over the next few years. Any material decline in the business of SHDEW or in its expected ability to pay dividends would materially and adversely affect our business, our ability to service liabilities and to pay dividends on our common stock, unless we obtain other sources of financing, of which there can be no assurance. In 2017, SHDEW generated $79,128,172 in equity income, compared to $62,866,782 in total net income for the Company. As of December 31, 2017, we own 23.08% of SHDEW, but we do not control the payment by SHDEW of dividends or other distributions to us. In addition, the payment of dividends or other distributions from SHDEW could be subject to restrictions on, or taxation of, dividends or repatriation of earnings under applicable law, monetary transfer restrictions, currency exchange regulations in jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate or any other restrictions imposed by current or future agreements to which SHDEW may be a party, including debt instruments. Events beyond our control, including changes in general business and economic conditions, could adversely impact the value of our investment and the ability of SHDEW to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

In addition, a significant portion of our assets consist of ownership interests in SHDEW. If we were required to liquidate any of such securities in order to generate funds to satisfy our liabilities, we may be required to sell such securities at a time or times at which we would not be able to realize what we believe to be the long-term value of such assets and there might be a very limited market for such securities.

Our business may be materially and adversely affected by government measures aimed at China’s real estate industry.

The real estate industry in China is subject to government regulations. Until 2009, the real estate markets in a number of major cities in China had experienced rapid and significant growth. Before the global economic crisis hit all the major economies worldwide in 2009, the PRC government had adopted a series of measures to restrain what it perceived as unsustainable growth in the real estate market. From 2003 to 2013, the PRC government introduced a series of specific administrative and credit-control measures including, but not limited to, setting minimum down payment requirements for residential and commercial real estate transactions, limiting availability of mortgage loans, and tightening governmental approval process for certain real estate transactions.

In cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, we have seen the effects of such policies and regulatory measures. The sales volumes for real properties in Beijing and Shanghai decreased significantly after the policy change. The sale prices for certain properties in such cities are also weakened. The PRC government’s policy and regulatory measures on the PRC real estate sector could adversely affect the property purchasers’ ability to obtain mortgage financing or significantly increase the cost of mortgage financing and reduce market demand for properties. These factors may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Despite the recent government measures aimed at maintaining the long-term stability of the real estate market, there is no assurance that the PRC government will not continue to adopt new measures in the future that may result in short-term downward adjustments and uncertainty in the real estate market.

Our business may be materially and adversely affected as a result of decreased transaction volumes or real estate prices that may follow these adjustments or market uncertainty.

We operate in a highly competitive environment.

Our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in customer needs or to devote greater resources than we can to developing and expanding our services. Such competitors could also attempt to increase their presence in our markets by forming strategic alliances with other competitors, by offering new or improved services or by increasing their efforts to gain and retain market share through competitive pricing. As the market for our services matures, price competition and penetration into the market will intensify. Such competition may adversely affect our gross profits, margins and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors.

We may be unable to effectively manage our growth.

We will need to manage our growth effectively, which may entail devising and effectively implementing business and integration plans, training and managing our growing workforce, managing our costs, and implementing adequate control and reporting systems in a timely manner. We may not be able to successfully manage our growth or to integrate and assimilate any acquired business operations. Our failure to do so could affect our success in executing our business plan and adversely affect our revenues, profitability and results of operations.

If we fail to successfully manage our planned expansion of operations, our growth prospects will be diminished and our operating expenses could exceed budgeted amounts.

Our ability to offer our services in an evolving market requires an effective planning and management process. We have expanded our operations rapidly since inception, and we intend to continue to expand them in the foreseeable future. This rapid growth places significant demand on our managerial and operational resources and our internal training capabilities. In addition, we have hired a significant number of employees and plan to further increase our total work force. This growth will continue to substantially burden our management team. To manage growth effectively, we must:

a. Implement and improve our operational, financial and other systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis.

b. Expand, train and manage our workforce, particularly our sales and marketing and support organizations.

We cannot be certain that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our current or future operations or that our management will be able to handle such expansion and still achieve the execution necessary to meet our growth expectations. Failure to manage our growth effectively could diminish our growth prospects and could result in lost opportunities as well as operating expenses exceeding the amount budgeted.

We may be unable to maintain internal funds or obtain financing or renew credit facilities in the future.

Adequate financing is one of the major factors, which can affect our ability to execute our business plan in this regard. We finance our business mainly through internal funds, bank loans or raising equity funds. There is no guarantee that we will always have internal funds available for future developments or we will not experience difficulties in obtaining financing and renewing credit facilities granted by financial institutions in the future. In addition, there may be a delay in equity fundraising activities. Although in August and November 2014 we issued 40,000,000 shares of stock of the Company in aggregate for cash of approximately $3,400,000 to Ace Develop, with Lin Chi-Jung, our CEO, President and Chairman, the sole shareholder of Ace Develop, our access to obtain debt or equity financing depends on the bank’s willingness to lend and on conditions in the capital markets, and we may not be able to secure additional sources of financing on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise additional capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. To fully realize our business objectives and potential, we may require additional financing. If we are unable to obtain any necessary additional financing, we will be required to substantially curtail our approach to implementing our business objectives. Additional financing may be debt, equity or a combination of debt and equity. If equity is used, it could result in significant dilution to our shareholders.

We require substantial capital resources to fund our land use rights acquisition and property developments, which may not be available.

Property development is capital intensive. Our ability to secure sufficient financing for land use rights acquisition and property development depends on a number of factors that are beyond our control, including market conditions in the capital markets, the PRC economy and the PRC government regulations that affect the availability and cost of financing for real estate companies.

In order to strengthen liquidity management and regulate money and credit supply, the People’s Bank of China raised the RMB reserve requirement ratio for depository financial institutions. Prior to December 2011, the People’s Bank of China raised the reserve requirement ratio by an additional 1.5%. Effective on December 5, 2011, the People’s Bank of China reduced the RMB reserve requirement ratio by 0.5%. Effective on February 24, 2012 and May 18, 2012, People’s Bank of China decided to further cut the RMB reserve requirement ratio by 0.5% twice. The reserve requirement ratio refers to the amount of funds that banks must hold in reserve against deposits made by their customers. These increases in the reserve requirement ratio have reduced the amount of commercial bank credit available to businesses in China, including us.

Our operations and growth prospects may be significantly impeded if we are unable to retain our key personnel or attract additional key personnel, particularly since experienced personnel and new skilled personnel are in short supply.

Competition for key personnel is intense. As a small company, our success depends on the service of our executive officers, and other skilled managerial and technical personnel, and our ability to attract, hire, train and retain personnel. There is always the possibility that certain of our key personnel may terminate their employment with us to work for one of our competitors at any time for any reason. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining key personnel. The loss of services of one or more key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us and would materially impede the operation and growth of our business.

If our partnering developers experience financial or other difficulties, our business and revenues could be adversely affected.

As a service-based company, we greatly depend on the working relationships and agency contracts with its partnering developers. We are exposed to the risks that our partnering developers may experience financial or other difficulties, which may affect their ability or will to carry out any existing development projects or resell contracts, thus delaying or canceling the fulfillment of their agency contracts with us. Any of these factors could adversely affect our revenues, profitability and results of operations.

Our partnering developers are subject to extensive government regulation which could make it difficult for them to obtain adequate funding or additional funding. Various PRC regulations restrict developers’ ability to raise capital through external financings and other methods, including, but not limited to, the following:

	·	developers cannot pre-sell uncompleted residential units in a project prior to achieving certain development milestones specified in related regulations;

	·	PRC banks are prohibited from extending loans to real estate companies to fund the purchase of land use rights;
	·	developers cannot borrow from a PRC bank for a particular project unless we fund at least 35% of the total investment amount of that project using our own capital;

	·	developers cannot borrow from a PRC bank for a particular project if we do not obtain the land use right certificate for that project;

	·	property developers are strictly prohibited from using the proceeds from a loan obtained from a local bank to fund property developments outside of the region where the bank is located; and

	·	PRC banks are prohibited from accepting properties that have been vacant for more than three years as collateral for a loan.

We may fail to obtain, or may experience material delays in obtaining necessary government approvals for any major property development, which will adversely affect our business.

The real estate industry is strictly regulated by the PRC government. Property developers in China must abide by various laws and regulations, including implementation rules promulgated by local governments to enforce these laws and regulations. Before commencing, and during the course of, development of a property project, we need to apply for various licenses, permits, certificates and approvals, including land use rights certificates, construction site planning permits, construction work planning permits, construction permits, pre-sale permits and completion acceptance certificates. We need to satisfy various requirements to obtain these certificates and permits. To date, we have not encountered serious delays or difficulties in the process of applying for these certificates and permits, but we cannot guarantee that we will not encounter serious delays or difficulties in the future. In the event that we fail to obtain the necessary governmental approvals for any of our major property projects, or a serious delay occurs in the government’s examination and approval progress, we may not be able to maintain our development schedule and our business and cash flows may be adversely affected.

We may be unable to complete our property developments on time or at all.

The progress and costs for a development project can be adversely affected by many factors, including, without limitation:

·	delays in obtaining necessary licenses, permits or approvals from government agencies or authorities;
·	shortages of materials, equipment, contractors and skilled labor;
·	disputes with our third-party contractors;
·	failure by our third-party contractors to comply with our designs, specifications or standards;
·	difficult geological situations or other geotechnical issues;
·	on-site labor disputes or work accidents; and natural catastrophes or adverse weather conditions.

Any construction delays, or failure to complete a project according to our planned specifications or budget, may delay our property sales, which could harm our revenues, cash flows and our reputation.

If we fail to establish and maintain strategic relationships, the market acceptance of our services, and our profitability, may suffer.

To offer services to a larger customer base, our direct sales force depends on strategic partnerships, marketing alliances, and partnering developers to obtain customer leads and referrals. If we are unable to maintain our existing strategic relationships or fail to enter into additional strategic relationships, we will have to devote substantially more resources to the marketing of our services. We would also lose anticipated customer introductions and co-marketing benefits. Our success depends in part on the success of our strategic partners and their ability to market our services successfully. In addition, our strategic partners may not regard us as significant for their own businesses. Therefore, they could reduce their commitment to us or terminate their respective relationships with us, pursue other partnerships or relationships, or attempt to develop or acquire services that compete with our services. Even if we succeed in establishing these relationships, they may not result in additional customers or revenues.

We are subject to the risks associated with projects operated through joint ventures.

Some of our projects are operated through joint ventures in which we have controlling interests. We may enter into similar joint ventures in the future. Any joint venture investment involves risks such as the possibility that the joint venture partner may seek relief under Chinese insolvency laws, or have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals. While the bankruptcy or insolvency of our joint venture partner generally should not disrupt the operations of the joint venture, we could be forced to purchase the partner’s interest in the joint venture, or the interest could be sold to a third party. Additionally, we may enter into joint ventures in the future in which we have non-controlling interests. If we do not have control over a joint venture, the value of our investment may be affected adversely by a third party that may have different goals and capabilities than ours. It may also be difficult for us to exit a joint venture that we do not control after an impasse. In addition, a joint venture partner may be unable to meet its economic or other obligations, and we may be required to fulfill those obligations.

We are subject to the risks associated with projects operated through joint ventures.

Some of our projects are operated through joint ventures in which we have controlling interests. We may enter into similar joint ventures in the future. Any joint venture investment involves risks such as the possibility that the joint venture partner may seek relief under federal or state insolvency laws or have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals. While the bankruptcy or insolvency of our joint venture partner generally should not disrupt the operations of the joint venture, we could be forced to purchase the partner’s interest in the joint venture, or the interest could be sold to a third party. Additionally, we may enter into joint ventures in the future in which we have non-controlling interests. If we do not have control over a joint venture, the value of our investment may be affected adversely by a third party that may have different goals and capabilities than ours. It may also be difficult for us to exit a joint venture that we do not control after an impasse. In addition, a joint venture partner may be unable to meet its economic or other obligations, and we may be required to fulfill those obligations.

We are subject to risks relating to acts of God, terrorist activity and war.

Our operating income may be reduced by acts of God, such as natural disasters or acts of terror, in locations where we own and/or operate significant properties and areas from which we draw customers and partnering developers. Some types of losses, such as from earthquake, hurricane, terrorism and environmental hazards, may be either uninsurable or too expensive to justify insuring against. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in any particular property, as well as any anticipated future revenue from such property. In that event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. Similarly, wars (including the potential for war), terrorist activity (including threats of terrorist activity), political unrest and other forms of civil strife as well as geopolitical uncertainty have caused in the past, and may cause in the future, our results to differ materially from anticipated results.

We have limited business insurance coverage in China.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. As a result, we do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in China. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

We may be affected by global climate change or by legal, regulatory, or market responses to such change.

There is a growing concern in regards to the global warming issues affecting the world. The changing weather patterns and abnormal conditions may affect the construction and logistics of developers and this may indirectly cause inverse effect to our operation. Extreme weather conditions may delay in construction of properties; this then may delay the sale of these properties and therefore delaying our future revenue stream. There may be regulations in manufacturing materials for property construction and new building codes in response to global warming that may delay construction and/or create further expenses to the developers. These possible changes may indirectly affect our business.

Our real estate development operating results may not achieve our goals.

As there are many variables to developing a real estate project, we face the risk of running out of funds mid construction and may have to delay or be unable to continue developing the project. We may also run into market downturn and not be able to sell any of the housings we’ve developed. If any of the above happens, we may face an extreme cash shortage and will directly affect our business.

The staff of our accounting department lack training and experience in the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which may result in accounting errors in the financial statements that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Our executive offices are located in the PRC. Our entire bookkeeping and accounting staff is located there. Our books and records are maintained in Chinese, using Chinese accounting principles. Chinese accounting principles vary in many important respects from U.S. GAAP. To file our Company’s financial statements with the SEC, our accounting staff must convert the financial statements from Chinese accounting principles to U.S. accounting principles. However, none of the members of our accounting staff has extensive experience or training in the preparation of financial statements under U.S. accounting principles. Neither do we have any employee who has previous experience in accounting for a U.S. public company. This situation creates a risk that the financial statements we file with the SEC will fail to present our financial condition and/or results of operations as required by SEC rules and U.S. GAAP.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results and prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial statements, which would harm the trading price of our common stock.

Companies that file reports with the SEC, including us, are subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404. SOX 404 requires management to establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting and annual reports on Form 10-K filed under the Exchange Act to contain a report from management assessing the effectiveness of a company’s internal control over financial reporting. A report of our management is included under Item 9A.“Controls and Procedures” of this report. We are a smaller reporting company and, consequently, are not required to include an attestation report of our auditor in this annual report. However, if and when we become subject to the auditor attestation requirements under SOX 404, we can provide no assurance that we will receive an unqualified report from our independent auditors.

During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, management identified a material weakness relating to our lack of sufficient accounting personnel with an appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.

We are undertaking remedial measures, which measures will take time to implement and test, to address the material weakness. There can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to remedy the material weakness identified or that additional material weaknesses or other control or significant deficiencies will not be identified in the future. If we continue to experience material weaknesses in our internal controls or fail to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, such circumstances could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements, or adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and, if required, annual auditor attestation reports. Each of the foregoing results could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and lead to a decline in our stock price. See Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” for more information.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR SECURITIES

Our controlling shareholders could take actions that are not in the public shareholders’ best interests.

As of May 10, 2018, Ace Develop directly controls 64.80% of our outstanding common stock and Lin Chi-Jung, our Chairman, is the sole shareholder of Ace Develop. As of May 10, 2018, Robert Lin Investments directly controls 0.22% of our outstanding common stock and Lin Chao Chun, one of our directors, is the principal and controlling shareholder of Robert Lin Investments. Accordingly, pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, Ace Develop and Lin Chi-Jung, and Robert Lin Investments and Lin Chao Chun, by virtue of their controlling ownership of share interests, will be able to exercise substantial influence over our business by directly or indirectly voting at either shareholders meetings or the board of directors meetings in matters of significance to us and our public shareholders, including matters relating to:

a. Election of directors and officers;

b. The amount and timing of dividends and other distributions;

c. Acquisition of or merger with another company; and

d. Any proposed amendments to our Articles of Incorporation.

Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect our stock price.

If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, the sale of these shares could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

We are traded on the OTCQB, which can be a volatile market.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB a quotation system for equity securities. It is a more limited trading market than the Nasdaq Capital Market, and timely and accurate quotations of the price of our common stock may not always be available. Investors may expect trading volume to be low in such a market. Consequently, the activity of only a few shares may affect the market and may result in wide swings in price and in volume.

We may be subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

A majority of our revenues are received, and a majority of our operating costs are incurred, in Renminbi. Because our financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, any significant fluctuation in the currency exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. Dollar will affect our reported results of operations. We do not currently engage in currency-hedging transactions.

Trading of our common stock is limited, which may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares at times and prices that investors feel are appropriate.

Trading of our common stock has been extremely limited. This adversely effects the liquidity of our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of us. This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our common stock.

There is a limited market for our common stock and an active trading market for our common stock may never develop.

Trading in our common stock has been limited and has been characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects.

Because it may be a “penny stock,” it will be more difficult for shareholders to sell shares of our common stock.

In addition, our common stock may be considered a “penny stock” under SEC rules because it has been trading on the OTC Bulletin Board at prices lower than $1.00. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. This document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny-stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement for the purchaser. Broker-dealers also must provide customers that hold penny stocks in their accounts with such broker-dealers a monthly statement containing price and market information relating to the penny stock. If a penny stock is sold to investors in violation of the penny stock rules, investors may be able to cancel the purchase and get the money back. The penny stock rules may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares of our stock, and because of these rules, there is less trading in penny stocks. Moreover, many brokers simply choose not to participate in penny-stock transactions. Accordingly, investors may not always be able to resell shares of our common stock publicly at times and at prices that investors feel are appropriate.

Our stock price is, and we expect it to remain, volatile, which could limit investors’ ability to sell stock at a profit.

Since the completion of the SRRE /CY-SRRE/LRY share exchange transactions the market price of our common stock has ranged from a high of $0.11 per share to a low of $0.01 per share in 2017. The volatile price of our stock makes it difficult for investors to predict the value of our investment, to sell shares at a profit at any given time, or to plan purchases and sales in advance. A variety of factors may affect the market price of our common stock. These include, but are not limited to:

a. Announcements of new technological innovations or new commercial services by our competitors or us;

b. Developments concerning proprietary rights;

c. Regulatory developments in Mainland China and foreign countries;

d. Period-to-period fluctuations in our revenues and other results of operations;

e. Economic or other crises and other external factors;

f. Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and

g. Sales of our common stock.

We will not be able to control many of these factors, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results will not necessarily be indicative of our future performance.

The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that may have been unrelated and disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

Because we have not paid and do not plan to pay cash dividends, investors will not realize any income from an investment in our common stock unless and until investors sell their shares at profit.

We did not pay cash dividends on our common stock in 2017, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. Investors should not rely on an investment in our stock if they require dividend income. Further, investors will only realize income on an investment in our stock in the event they sell or otherwise dispose of their shares at a price higher than the price they paid for their shares. Such a gain would result only from an increase in the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable.

We intend to retain all of our earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future.

The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, the success of our business activities, general financial condition, future prospects, general business conditions and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

RISKS RELATING TO THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY IN YANGTZE DELTA AND OTHER AREAS OF THE PRC

The real estate market in Yangtze Delta and other areas of the PRC is at an early stage of development.

We are subject to real estate market conditions in the PRC generally and Yangtze Delta in particular. Private ownership of property in the PRC is still at an early stage of development. Although there is a perception that economic growth in the PRC and the higher standard of living resulting from such growth will lead to a greater demand for private properties in the PRC, it is not possible to predict with certainty that such a correlation exists as many social, political, economic, legal and other factors may affect the development of the property market. The level of uncertainty is increased by the limited availability of accurate financial and market information as well as the overall low level of transparency in the PRC.

The PRC property market, including the Yangtze Delta property market, is volatile and may experience oversupply and property price fluctuations. The central and local governments frequently adjust monetary and other economic policies to prevent and curtail the overheating of the PRC and local economies, and such economic adjustments may affect the real estate market in Yangtze Delta and other parts of China. Furthermore, the central and local governments from time to time make policy adjustments and adopt new regulatory measures in a direct effort to control the over development of the real estate market in China, including Yangtze Delta. Such policies may lead to changes in market conditions, including price instability and an imbalance of supply and demand of residential properties, which may materially adversely affect our business and financial conditions. Also, there is no assurance that there will not be over development in the property sector in Yangtze Delta and other parts of China in the future. Any future over development in the property sector in Yangtze Delta and other parts of China may result in an oversupply of properties and a fall of property prices in Yangtze Delta or any of our other markets, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. The lack of a liquid secondary market for residential property may discourage investors from acquiring new properties. The limited amount of property mortgage financing available to PRC individuals may further inhibit demand for residential developments.

Local government may issue further restrictive measures in the future.

In January 2011, the Shanghai municipal government put forward a local restrictive policy. The policy prohibits residential housing purchases for 1) non-local residents, who are not able to provide a local tax payment or social security payment certificate over one year within the most recent two years, 2) local resident, who is already in possession of two residential units. The policy also limits residential housing purchases for 1) non-local residents, who are able to provide local tax payment certificate over one year, to only one unit, 2) local residents, who are already in possession of only one residential unit, to one additional residential unit.

We cannot assure you that the local government in Shanghai or Jiangsu Province will not issue further restrictive measures in the future. The local government’s restrictive regulations and measures could increase our operating costs in adapting to these regulations and measures, limit our access to capital resources or even restrict our business operations, which could further adversely affect our business and prospects.

We face increasing competition, which may adversely affect our revenues, profitability and results of operations.

In recent years, a large number of property companies have begun undertaking property sales and investment projects in Yangtze Delta and elsewhere in the PRC. Some of these property companies may have better track records and greater financial and other resources than we do. The intensity of the competition may adversely affect our business and financial position. In addition, the real estate market in Yangtze Delta and elsewhere in the PRC is rapidly changing. If we cannot respond to the changes in the market conditions more swiftly or effectively than our competitors do, our business and financial position will be adversely affected.

If the availability or attractiveness of mortgage financing were significantly limited, many of our prospective customers would not be able to purchase the properties, thus adversely affecting our business and financial position.

Mortgages are becoming increasingly popular as a means of financing property purchases in the PRC. An increase in interest rates may significantly increase the cost of mortgage financing, thus reducing the affordability of mortgages as a source of financing for residential property purchases. The PRC government has increased the down payment requirements and imposed certain other conditions that make mortgage financing unavailable or unattractive for some potential property purchasers. There is no assurance that the down payment requirements and other conditions will not be further revised. If the availability or attractiveness of mortgage financing is further significantly limited, many of our prospective customers would not be able to purchase the properties and, as a result, our business and future prospects would be adversely affected.

Our future prospects are heavily dependent on the performance of property sectors in specific geographical areas.

The properties we resell and intend to invest in are mainly based in Yangtze Delta. Our future prospects are, therefore, heavily dependent on the continued growth of the property sector around Yangtze Delta, and our business may be affected by any adverse developments in the supply and demand or housing prices in the property sector around Yangtze Delta.

The current level of property development and investment activity in Yangtze Delta and other markets is substantial. However, there is no assurance that such property resale and investment activity in Yangtze Delta or any of our other markets will continue at this level in the future or that we will be able to benefit from the future growth of these property markets.

Our revenues and operating income could be reduced by adverse conditions specific to our property locations.

The properties we resell and intend to invest in are concentrated geographically and are located predominately in Yangtze Delta. As a result, our business and our financial operating results may be materially affected by adverse economic, weather or business conditions in this area. Adverse conditions that affect these areas such as economic recession, changes in extreme weather conditions and natural disasters, may have an adverse impact on our operations.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA

All of our current prospects and deals are generated in Mainland China; thus all of our revenues are derived from our operations in the PRC. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political and legal developments in the PRC.

PRC economic, political policies and social conditions could adversely affect our business.

The economy of PRC differs from the economies of most developed countries in a number of respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate and control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources.

The PRC Government has been reforming the PRC economic system from planned economy to market oriented economy for more than 20 years, and has also begun reforming the government structure in recent years. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress. Although we believe these reforms will have a positive effect on our overall and long-term development, we cannot predict whether any future changes in PRC’s political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies will have any adverse effect on our current or future business, results of operations or financial condition.

Changes in foreign exchange regulations may adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Renminbi. Conversion of Renminbi is under strict government regulation in the PRC. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under the "current account", including trade and service related foreign exchange transactions and payment of dividends, but not under the "capital account", which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Under the existing foreign exchange regulations in the PRC, we will be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration for Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, there is no assurance that the above foreign policies regarding payment of dividends in foreign currencies will continue in the future.

Fluctuation of the Renminbi could materially affect the value of, and dividends payable on, the common stock.

The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in the PRC Government’s policies and depends to a large extent on China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. Dollars has generally been stable, and in 2005 the official exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Renminbi had a little fluctuation. However, we cannot give any assurance that the value of the Renminbi will continue to remain stable against the U.S. Dollar or any other foreign currency. Since our income and profit are denominated in Renminbi, any devaluation of the Renminbi would adversely affect the value of, and dividends, if any, payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms.

Our operations could be adversely affected by changes in the political and economic conditions in the PRC. The PRC is our main market and accounted for all of our revenue. Therefore, we face risks related to conducting business in the PRC. Changes in the social, economic and political conditions of the PRC may adversely affect our business. Unfavorable changes in government policies, political unrest and economic developments may also have a negative impact on our operations.

Since the adoption of the “open door policy” in 1978 and the “socialist market economy” in 1993, the PRC government has been reforming and is expected to continue to reform its economic and political systems. Any changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government may lead to changes in the laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same, as well as changes in the foreign exchange regulations, taxation and import and export restrictions, which may, in turn, adversely affect our financial performance. While the current policy of the PRC government seems to be one of imposing economic reform policies to encourage foreign investments and greater economic decentralization, we cannot assure that such a policy will continue to prevail in the future.

The PRC Legal System Embodies Uncertainties

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC Government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past 28 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in Mainland China. Our PRC operating subsidiaries, wholly foreign-owned enterprises (“WFOEs”), are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in the PRC in general and laws and regulations applicable to WFOEs in particular. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are constantly changing, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us and other foreign investors. In addition, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws.

Our shareholders may not be able to enforce U.S. civil liabilities claims.

Our assets are located outside the United States and are held through subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and the PRC. Our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, our directors and officers are residents of the PRC. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders to implement service of process on these individuals. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against the Company or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in these countries against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTY

Our headquarter office space is located at 638 Hengfeng Road, 5A11 Floor, Shanghai, PRC. In February 2016, the office property at 25^th floor of the same building was sold to SHDEW, an affiliate corporation. We have also rented regional field support offices in various cities in Mainland China, including Shanghai, Suzhou, Weihai, Quanjiao, Linyi and Wuhan. We lease the facilities that house our regional field support offices. The terms of the leases do not contain rent escalation, or contingent rent, renewal, or purchase options.

The Company also owns two floors and four units of the Sovereign Building in Suzhou, PRC. One floor is held for the Company’s own use, and the remaining properties are held for long term investment purposes.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Currently we are not a party to any legal proceeding that could reasonably be expected to have material impact on our operations or finances. However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in any such matter may harm our business.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

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

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. (“SRRE”). MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes.

OVERVIEW

In October 2004, the former shareholders of Sunrise Real Estate Development Group, Inc. (Cayman Islands) (“CY-SRRE”) and LIN RAY YANG Enterprise Ltd. (“LRY”) acquired a majority of our voting interests in a share exchange. Before the completion of the share exchange, SRRE had no continuing operations, and its historical results would not be meaningful if combined with the historical results of CY-SRRE, LRY and their subsidiaries.

As a result of the acquisition, the former owners of CY-SRRE and LRY hold a majority interest in the combined entity. Generally accepted accounting principles require in certain circumstances that a company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” arrangement whereby CY-SRRE and LRY are deemed to have purchased SRRE. However, SRRE remains the legal entity and the Registrant for Securities and Exchange Commission reporting purposes. The historical financial statements prior to October 5, 2004 are those of CY-SRRE and LRY and their subsidiaries. All equity information and per share data prior to the acquisition have been restated to reflect the stock issuance as a recapitalization of CY-SRRE and LRY.

SRRE and its subsidiaries, namely, CY-SRRE, LRY, Shanghai Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SHXJY”), Shanghai Shang Yang Investment Management and Consulting Company Limited (“SHSY”), Suzhou Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZSY”), Suzhou Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SZXJY”), Linyi Rui Lin Construction and Design Company Limited (“LYRL”), Linyi Shang Yang Real Estate Development Company Limited (“LYSY”), Shangqiu Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SQSY”), Wuhan Gao Feng Hui Consultation Company Limited (“WHGFH”), Sanya Shang Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“SYSY”), Shanghai Rui Jian Design Company Limited (“SHRJ”), Putian Xin Ji Yang Real Estate Consultation Company Limited (“PTXJY”), and its equity investments in affiliates, namely Wuhan Yuan Yu Long Real Estate Development Company Limited (“WHYYL”), Shanghai Xin Xing Yang Real Estate Brokerage Company Limited (“SHXXY”) and Xin Guang Investment Management and Consulting Company Limited (“XG”) are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Company,” “our” or “us”.

The principal activities of the Company are real estate agency sales, real estate marketing services, real estate investments, property leasing services and property management services in the PRC.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-K

In addition to historical information, this Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations, information currently available to us, estimates and projections about our industry, and certain assumptions made by our management. These statements are not historical facts. We use words such as "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", and similar expressions to identify our forward-looking statements, which include, among other things, our anticipated revenue and cost of our agency and investment business.

Because we are unable to control or predict many of the factors that will determine our future performance and financial results, including future economic, competitive, and market conditions, our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to risks, uncertainties, and errors in assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. We believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, the investor should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. They only reflect our view and expectations as of the date of this Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement in light of new information, future events, or other occurrences.

There are several risks and uncertainties, including those relating to our ability to raise money and grow our business and potential difficulties in integrating new acquisitions with our current operations, especially as they pertain to foreign markets and market conditions. These risks and uncertainties can materially affect the results predicted. The Company’s future operating results over both the short and long term will be subject to annual and quarterly fluctuations due to several factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include but are not limited to fluctuating market demand for our services, and general economic conditions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires restricted cash to be presented with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and disclosure of how the statement of cash flows reconciles to the balance sheet if restricted cash is shown separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

In August, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice in the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments by providing guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted, including adoption during an interim period. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions include the collection of accounts receivable, and the useful lives and impairment of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets and inventories and the provisions for income taxes. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed in this Form 10-K reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We believe there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition

Agency commission revenue from property brokerage is recognized when the property developer and the buyer complete a property sales transaction, and the property developer grants confirmation to us to be able to invoice them accordingly. The time when we receive the commission is normally at the time when the property developer receives from the buyer a portion of the sales proceeds in accordance with the terms of the relevant property sales agreement, or the balance of the bank loan to the buyer has been funded, or recognized under the sales schedule or other specific items of agency sales agreement with developer. At no point does the Company handle any monetary transactions nor act as an escrow intermediary between the developer and the buyer.

Revenue from marketing consultancy services is recognized when services are provided to clients, fees associated to services are fixed or determinable, and collection of the fees is assured.

Rental revenue from property management and rental business is recognized on a straight-line basis according to the time pattern of the leasing agreements.

The Company accounts for underwriting sales in accordance with the ASC 976-605, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (Formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66) (“ASC 976-605”). The commission revenue on underwriting sales is recognized when the sales have been consummated, generally when title is transferred and the Company no longer has substantial continuing involvement with the real estate asset sold. If the Company provides certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, it defers the related commission income and expenses by applying the deposit method. In future periods, the commission income and related expenses are recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of income deferred.

The Company accounts for real estate development sales in accordance with the ASC 976-605, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (Formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66) (“ASC 976-605”). A real estate development sale is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the individual unit sites are being sold separately and all the following criteria are met as below:

a. Construction is beyond a preliminary stage.

b. The buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for no 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.

e. Aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated.

If any of the above criteria is not met, proceeds shall be accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met.

All revenues represent gross revenues less sales and business tax.

Real Estate Property Under Development

Real estate property under development, which consists of residential unit sites and commercial and residential unit sites under development, is stated at the lower of carrying amounts or fair value less selling costs.

Expenditures for land development, including cost of land use rights, deed tax, pre-development costs and engineering costs, are capitalized and allocated to development projects by the specific identification method. Costs are allocated to specific units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value times the total project costs.

Costs of amenities transferred to buyers are allocated as common costs of the project that are allocated to specific units as a component of total construction costs. For amenities retained by the Company, costs in excess of the related fair value of the amenity are also treated as common costs. Results of operations of amenities retained by the Company are included in current operating results.

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), real estate property under development is subject to valuation adjustments when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.

There is no impairment of real estate property under development during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company is required to review its long-lived assets 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, investment properties and other assets, for recoverability when events or 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 determined by using the asset's expected future discounted cash flows or market value. The Company estimates fair value of the assets based on certain assumptions such as budgets, internal projections, and other available information as considered necessary. There is no impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

We had a dispute with the construction contractor, Hubei Fifth Construction Company, (“HFCC”) that was settled in August 2017. We have begun the handover process and we will have no new impairments on the Wuhan project.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company recognizes tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold and provides for the estimated impact of interest and penalties for such tax benefits. The Company did not incur any interest or penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies include cash subsidies received by the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC from local governments.

In recognizing the benefit of government subsidies in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company considers intended use of and restrictions of the subsidy, the requirements for the receipt of funds, and whether or not the incentive is given for immediate financial support, or to encourage activities such as land development in specified area. Each grant is evaluated to determine the propriety of classification on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets. Those grants that are substantively reimbursements of specified costs are matched with those costs and recorded as a reduction in costs. Those benefits that are more general in nature or driven by business performance measures are classified as revenue.

As of December 31, 2017, the balance of deferred government subsidy was $5,072,605 (2016: $4,782,387). The subsidy is given to reimburse the land acquisition costs and certain construction costs incurred for the Company’s property development project and are repayable if the Company fails to complete the subsidized property development project by the agreed date. The Company recorded the subsidy received as a deferred government subsidy

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We provide the following discussion and analyses of our changes in financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 with comparisons to the historical year ended December 31, 2016.

Net Revenues

The following table shows the detail for net revenues by line of business:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2017		% to total		2016		% to total		% change
Agency sales		1,233,006		4		3,303,154		63		(62	)
Property management		714,621		3		1,558,767		30		(54	)

The net revenue for 2017 was $27,555,845, an increase of 429% from $5,200,859 in 2016. In 2017, agency sales represented 4%, property management represented 3%, house sales represented 85% and service sales represented 8% of total net revenue. The increase in 2017 is mainly due to the recognizing of net revenue of Linyi project at a certain proportion.

Agency Sales

In 2017, 4% of our net revenue was derived from agency sales, which was primarily from the business activities of SHXJY, SHSY and their subsidiaries and branches. As compared with 2016, net revenue of agency sales in 2017 decreased by 62%. The decrease is mainly due to less sales collection of projects during this year.

Government policies enacted in 2017 as well as similar subsequent policies aiming to stabilize real estate prices affected many businesses in the real estate industry. These restrictive policies had a substantial effect in our agency sales revenue. We are continually seeking stable growth in our agency sales business in 2018. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Property Management

Property management represented 3% of our revenue in year of 2017 and revenue from property management decreased by 54% compared with same period in 2016.

House Sales

House sales represented 95% of our revenue in year of 2017. The company has recognized its net revenue from Linyi project at a certain proportion.

The cost of revenues for 2017 was $22,574,152 this was increase of 662% from $2,959,757 for 2016. In 2017, agency sales represented 3% of total cost of revenues, property management represented 2%, house sales represented 95% and service sales represented 0%. The increase of cost of revenues is mainly due to the increase of recognizing of cost of revenue of house sales from Linyi project at a certain proportion.

Agency Sales

As compared with 2016, cost of agency sales in 2017 decreased by 49%. The decrease is mainly due to less sales project operation of projects during this year.

Property Management

The cost of revenue from property management for 2017 was $495,124, which decreased from $1,341,472 during the year of 2016.

Operating Expenses

The following table shows operating expenses detailed by line of business:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2017		% to total		2016		% to total		% change
Agency sales		449,455		38		358,738		15		25
Property management		250,078		21		247,826		10		1
House sales		485,170		41		1,774,197		74		(72	)
Service Sales		374		0		29,676		1		(98	)
Operating expenses		1,185,078		100		2,410,437		100		(50	)

The operating expenses for 2017 were $1,185,078, which decrease from $2,410,437 in 2016. In 2017, the expenses pertaining to house sales represented 41% of the total operating expenses, agency sales represented 38%, property management represented 21% and service sales represented 0%.

Agency Sales

When compared to 2016, the operating expenses for agency sales increased 25% in 2017. The primary reason for the increase in 2017 was the increase in staff costs and service expense.

Property Management

When compared to 2016, the operating expenses for property management very close to the amount in 2017.

House sales

The operating expenses related to our house sales business decreased 72% as compared to the previous year. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease activities of our sales promotion activities in GXL project.

General and Administrative Expenses

The general and administrative expenses in 2017 were $3,654,667, a 6% decrease from $3,463,677 in 2016. The primary reason for the decrease was a decrease in staff costs and consulting service expenses.

Operating Gain

In 2017, we had an operating gain of $141,948, representing a increased profit from an operating loss of $3,633,012 in 2016. The increase in profit was mainly due to the recognizing of net revenue and cost of revenue from Linyi project at a certain proportion compared to 2016.

Interest Expense

When compared to 2016, the interest expense in 2017 decreased 81% to $423,864, the decrease of interest expense is mainly due to repayment of bank loan and promissory notes.

The amount due to JXSY, in the amount of $539,959 and SHXG, in the amount of $18,977 were intercompany transfers for day to day operation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In 2017, our principal sources of cash were revenues from our agency sales, receipts in advance from real estate development projects and property management business, as well as the dividend distribution, advances and intercompany transfers from our affiliates. Most of our cash resources were used to fund our property development investment and revenue related expenses, such as salaries and commissions paid to the sales force, daily administrative expenses and the maintenance of regional offices.

We ended the period with a cash position of $5,869,944.

Net cash used in the Company’s operating activities in 2017 was $2,765,946, representing a decreased receipts in cash in the amount of $25,834,531 as compared to the cash receive for 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in cash used in receipts in advance in the amount of $15,642,207.

Net cash provided in the Company’s investing activities was $34,992,201, representing an increase of $27,483,757 as compared to the cash received in investing activities for 2016. The increase in cash provided in investing activities was primarily attributable to the increase in cash provided in dividend distribution from SHDEW, an affiliate, of $57,445,961 in 2017. The Company also invested in a total amount of $22,438,037 in short term bank wealth management products with varying terms and rates of return.

Net cash used by the Company’s financing activities was $37,440,984, representing an increase from $23,436,791 in 2016. This decrease was primarily attributable to repayments to affiliate in the amount of $65,231,905 and no new bank loans in 2017.

The cash needs for 2018 were for the funds required to finance the Company’s future projects in property agency and real estate developments.

If our business otherwise grows more rapidly than we currently predict, we plan to raise funds through the issuance of additional shares of our equity securities in one or more public or private offerings. We will also consider raising funds through credit facilities obtained with lending institutions and affiliates, as we have done previously, but there can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such funds through the issuance of debt or equity that are with terms satisfactory to management and our board of directors.

Management believes that the Company will generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations and to meet its obligations on timely basis for the next twelve months by successful implementation of its business plans, obtaining continued support from its lenders to rollover debts when they became due, and securing additional financing as needed. Based upon the equity income generated by SHDEW in 2017, we expect a substantial cash dividend from SHDEW in 2018, which will be our principal source of liquidity. We have been able to secure new bank lines of credit and secure additional loans from affiliates to fund our operations to date. However, if events or circumstances occur that the Company is unable to successfully implement its business plans, fails to obtain continued supports from its lenders or to secure additional financing, the Company may be required to suspend operations or cease business entirely.

The company’s indebtedness is described under “Note 12-Bank Loans”, “Note 13-Promissory Notes Payable”, “Note 14- Amounts Due to Directors” and “Note 20-Long Term Borrowings” to the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in Item 8.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017. Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company and a shareholder of LYSY, which holds 51% equity interest in LYSY, entered into a voting agreement that the Company is entitled to exercise the voting rights in respect of her 51% equity interest in LYSY. The Company effectively holds 75% voting rights in LYSY and therefore considers LYSY as a subsidiary of the Company.

On January 28, 2013, CY-SRRE, SZXJY and an unrelated party established a subsidiary in the PRC, SHXJYB, with CY-SRRE holding a 15% equity interest and SZXJY holding a 60% equity interest in SHXYJB.

CY-SRRE was established in the Cayman Islands on April 30, 2004 as a limited liability company. CY-SRRE was wholly owned by Ace Develop Properties Limited (“Ace Develop”), a corporation, of which Lin Chi-Jung, an individual, is the principal and controlling shareholder. SHXJY was established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on August 20, 2001 as a limited liability company. SHXJY was originally owned by a Taiwanese company, of which the principal and controlling shareholder was Lin Chi-Jung. On June 8, 2004, all the fully paid up capital of SHXJY was transferred to CY-SRRE. On June 25, 2004SHXJY and two individuals established a subsidiary, SZXJY in the PRC, at which point in time, SHXJY held a 90% equity interest in SZXJY. On August 9, 2005, SHXJY sold a 10% equity interest in SZXJY to a company owned by a director of SZXJY and transferred a 5% equity interest in SZXJY to CY-SRRE. Following the disposal and the transfer, CY-SRRE effectively held an 80% equity interest in SZXJY.

LRY was established in the British Virgin Islands on November 13, 2003 as a limited liability company. LRY was owned by Ace Develop, Planet Technology Corporation (“Planet Tech”) and Systems & Technology Corporation (“Systems Tech”). On February 5, 2004, LRY established a wholly owned subsidiary, SHSY in the PRC as a limited liability company.

Also on August 31, 2004, SRRE, LRY and Lin Chi-Jung, an individual and agent for beneficial shareholders of LRY, i.e., Ace Develop, Planet Tech and SystemsTech, entered into an exchange agreement under which SRRE issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to the beneficial shareholders, or their designees, in exchange for all outstanding capital stock of LRY.

As a result of the acquisition, the former owners of CY-SRRE and LRY hold a majority interest in the combined entity. Generally accepted accounting principles require in certain circumstances that a company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” arrangement whereby CY-SRRE and LRY are deemed to have purchased SRRE. However, SRRE remains the legal entity and the Registrant for Securities and Exchange Commission reporting purposes. All shares and per share data prior to the acquisition have been restated to reflect the stock issuance as a recapitalization of CY-SRRE and LRY.

Following that, SRRE effectively holds 51% voting rights in SZSY.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Investments in business entities, in which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). It 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 Company values its investments in wealth management products using alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs, and accordingly the Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2.

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, promissory deposits, amount due from an unconsolidated affiliate, other receivables and deposits, deferred tax assets, bank loans, promissory notes payable, accounts payable, customer deposits, amounts due to directors, other payables and accrued expenses, other taxes payable and income taxes payable approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables and deposits, and amount due from an unconsolidated affiliate. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions with high credit ratings.

The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors relevant to determining the credit risk of specific customers. The amount of receivables ultimately not collected by the Company has generally been consistent with management's expectations and the allowance established for doubtful accounts.

Major Customers

During the year ended December 31, 2017, there was no single customer that represented more than 10% of our net revenues separately.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, there were two customers that accounted for 27% and 13% of our net revenues separately, and there are $0 and $188,408 accounts receivable from these two customers separately as of December 31, 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various banks in the PRC which are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any of these banks holding the Company’s cash deposits become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds for any reason, the Company could lose the cash on deposit with that particular bank.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of SRRE, CY-SRRE and LRY is U.S. dollars (“$”) and their financial records are maintained and the financial statements prepared in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates in China is Renminbi (“RMB”) and their financial records and statements are maintained and prepared in RMB.

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into each company’s denominated currency at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Gain and loss resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into each company’s denominated currency at year-end exchange rates. All exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statements of operations.

The financial statements of the Company’s operations based outside of the United States have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC830. Management has determined that the functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign operations is its applicable local currency. When translating functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars, year-end exchange rates are applied to the consolidated balance sheets, while average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses are applied to consolidated statements of operations. The effect of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

The exchange rates as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are $1: RMB6.5342 and $1: RMB6.9370 respectively.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transaction must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rate used in translation.

Real Estate Property under Development

Real estate property under development, which consists of residential unit sites and commercial and residential unit sites under development, is stated at the lower of carrying amounts or fair value

Expenditures for land development, including cost of land use rights, deed tax, and pre-development costs and engineering costs, are capitalized and allocated to development projects by the specific identification method. Costs are allocated to specific units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value times the total project costs.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had not recognized any impairment for real estate property under development.

Capitalization of Interest

Interest incurred during and directly related to real estate development projects is capitalized to the related real estate property under development during the active development period, which generally commences when borrowings are used to acquire real estate assets and ends when the properties are substantially complete or the property becomes inactive. Interest is capitalized based on the interest rate applicable to specific borrowings or the weighted average of the rates applicable to other borrowings during the period. Interest capitalized to real estate property under development is expensed as a component of cost of real estate sales when related units are sold. All other interest is expensed as incurred.

Property and Equipment, Net

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

	Estimated Useful Life (in years)

Furniture and fixtures	5-10
Computer and office equipment	3-5
Motor vehicles	5
Properties	20

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to the statement of operations as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

Investment Properties, Net

Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over their respective estimated useful lives of 20 years.

Significant additions that extend property lives are capitalized and are depreciated over their respective estimated useful lives. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (“ASC 360”), the Company is required to review its long-lived assets 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.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits consist of amounts received from customers relating to the sale of residential units in the PRC. In the PRC, customers will generally obtain permanent financing for the purchase of their residential unit prior to the completion of the project. The lending institution will provide the funding to the Company upon the completion of the financing rather than the completion of the project. The Company receives these funds and recognizes them as a liability until the revenue can be recognized.

Long Term Investments

The Company accounts for long term investments in equities as follows.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Affiliates are entities over which the Company has significant influence, but which it does not control. The Company generally considers an ownership interest of 20% or higher to represent significant influence. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of affiliates is recognized in the income statement and its shares of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its affiliates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the affiliates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

The Company is required to perform an impairment assessment of its investments whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when there has been a loss in value of the investment that is other than temporary.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company provided an allowance for impairment loss on investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $ NIL (2016: $288,309). As of December 31, 2017, the allowance for impairment loss on investments in unconsolidated affiliates amounted to $ 236,028 (2016: $1,428,156).

Other Investments

Where the Company has no significant influence, the investment is classified as other investments in the balance sheet and is carried under the cost method. Investment income is recognized by the Company when the investee declares a dividend and the Company believes it is collectible. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investment under the cost method and any decline in value is included in impairment of cost of the investment.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company provided an allowance for impairment loss on other investments of $Nil (2016: $Nil). As of December 31, 2017, the allowance for impairment loss on other investments amounted to $$76,922 (2016: $76,922).

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies include cash subsidies received by the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC from local governments.

During the year of 2012, the Company received no refundable government subsidy amount of $5,108,941 (RMB33, 175,416). The subsidy is given to reimburse the land acquisition costs and certain construction cost incurred for the Company’s property development project in Linyi, and is repayable if the Company fails to complete the subsidized property development project before the agreed date. The Company recorded the subsidy received as a deferred government subsidy. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s deferred government subsidy amounted to $5,072,605 (2016: $4,782,387).

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from marketing consultancy services is recognized when services are provided to clients, fees associated to services are fixed or determinable, and collection of the fees is assured.

Rental revenue from property management and rental business is recognized on a straight-line basis according to the time pattern of the leasing agreements.

The Company accounts for underwriting sales in accordance with ASC 976-605 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (Formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66) (“ASC 976-605”). The commission revenue on underwriting sales is recognized when sales have been consummated, generally when title is transferred and the Company no longer has substantial continuing involvement with the real estate asset sold. If the Company provides certain rent guarantees or other forms of support where the maximum exposure to loss exceeds the gain, it defers the related commission income and expenses by applying the deposit method. In future periods, the commission income and related expenses are recognized when the remaining maximum exposure to loss is reduced below the amount of income deferred.

a. Construction is beyond a preliminary stage.

b. The buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for no 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.

e. Aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated.

If any of the above criteria is not met, proceeds shall be accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met.

All revenues represent gross revenues less sales and business tax.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

In accordance with ASC 220-10-55, comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company’s only components of comprehensive loss during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share recognizes common stock equivalents, however; potential common stock in the diluted EPS computation is excluded in net loss periods, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 19 - INCOME TAXES PAYABLE

The 2017 Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. Due to the complexities involved in the accounting for the 2017 Tax Act, the SEC issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on the application of US GAAP for income taxes in the period of enactment. SAB 118 requires companies to include in their financial statements a reasonable estimate of the impact of the 2017 Tax Act, to the extent such an estimate has been determined. As a result, our financial results reflect the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act for which the accounting is complete, as well as provisional amounts for those impacts for which the accounting is incomplete but a reasonable estimate could be determined.

The Tax Legislation significantly revises the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate to 21%, implementing a modified territorial tax system and imposing a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings and profits of U.S.-owned foreign subsidiaries (the Toll Charge). As a fiscal-year taxpayer, certain provisions of the Tax Legislation impacted the Company in fiscal 2018, including the change in the corporate income tax rate and the Toll Charge, while other provisions will be effective starting at the beginning of fiscal 2019, including the implementation of a modified territorial tax system. The U.S. federal income tax rate reduction was effective as of January 1, 2018.

The Company’s management is still evaluating the effect of the U.S. Tax Reform on the Company. Management may update its judgment of that effect based on its continuing evaluation and on future regulations or guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and specific actions the Company may take in the future.

Total income tax expense	$	4,144,726		$	37,395

In 2017, of the $168,963 income tax benefit, was for PRC tax, mainly attributable to the non- U.S. subsidiaries of the Company’s business operations and $4,313,689 was for U.S. corporate income tax, resulting primarily from a one-time transition tax recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017 that represented management’s estimate of the amount of U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company mandated by the U.S. Tax Reform. The Company may make an election to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years commencing in April 2019 or pay in a single lump sum.

Effective Tax Rate

The following is reconciliation between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate:


	2017			2016
PRC Statutory rate		25	%		25	%
Effect of the U.S. Transition Tax under the 2017 TCJA		6.4	%		0.0	%

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

	As of December 31,
	2017		2016

Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss from operations	$	591,300	$	337,536
Total deferred tax assets		591,300		337,536
Less: Valuation allowance		-		-

Net deferred tax assets	$	591,300	$	337,536

In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon an assessment of the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are tested whether they are deductible or can be utilized, the Company recorded the deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry forwards of $591,300 as of December 31, 2017 (2016: $248,784).

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and such adoption did not have any material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. Tax regulations are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. All tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, continue to be more likely than not ultimately settled at the full amount claimed. The Company’s tax filings are subject to the PRC tax bureau’s examination for a period up to 5 years. The Company is not currently under any examination by the PRC tax bureau.

NOTE 21- DEFERRED GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY

Deferred government subsidy consists of the cash subsidy provided by the local government.

Government subsidies include cash subsidies received by the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC from local governments.

The Company has received refundable government subsidy of $5,072,605 as of December 31, 2017. The subsidy is given to reimburse the land acquisition costs and certain construction costs incurred for the Company’s property development project in Linyi, and are repayable if the Company fails to complete the subsidized property development project according to the agreed schedules. The Company recorded the subsidy received as a deferred government subsidy.

NOTE 22- STATUTORY RESERVE

According to the relevant corporation laws in the PRC, a PRC company is required to transfer at least 10% of its profit after taxes, as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC, to the statutory reserve until the balance reaches 50% of its registered capital. The statutory reserve can be used to make good on losses or to increase the capital of the relevant company.

According to the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Wholly-Owned Foreign Investment, the Company PRC’s subsidiaries are required to make appropriations from after-tax profits as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) to non-distributable reserves. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion reserve and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. A wholly-owned PRC subsidiary is not required to make appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve but annual appropriations to the general reserve are required to be made at 10% of the profit after tax as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end, until such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve is determined by the board of directors. The general reserve is used to offset future losses. The subsidiary may, upon a resolution passed by the stockholders, convert the general reserve into capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve are used for the collective welfare of the employees of the subsidiary. The enterprise expansion reserve is for the expansion of the subsidiary operations and can be converted to capital subject to approval by the relevant authorities. These reserves represent appropriations of the retained earnings determined in accordance with Chinese law.

In addition to the general reserve, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain approval from the local PRC government prior to distributing any registered share capital. Accordingly, both the appropriations to general reserve and the registered share capital of the Company’s PRC subsidiary are considered as restricted net assets and are not distributable as cash dividends. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s statutory reserve fund was $931,510 (2016: 938,128).

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or 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. Further, 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 are instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also 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. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017, the end of the annual period covered by this report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company had a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 because the Company’s accounting department personnel had limited knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.

Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2017.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

During this evaluation, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has identified one material weakness in the control environment of the Company. The material weakness is related to the Company’s accounting department personnel having limited knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of the material weakness identified above, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2017.

To remediate the material weakness identified in internal control over financial reporting of the Company, we have begun to:

recruit additional personnel with sufficient knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; and

provide ongoing training courses in U.S. GAAP to existing personnel, including our Chief Financial Officer and our Financial Controller.

The Company believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, notwithstanding the material weakness we identified.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During our fiscal year 2017, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Information Concerning our Board and Committees of our Board

The Company’s Board has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee, and a Compensation Committee. We have a written Audit Committee Charter, Governance and Nominating Committee Charter and Compensation Committee Charter. Except for Lin Chao-Chin, all of our directors serving on our committees are “independent” within the meaning of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., which is the independence standard that we have chosen to report under.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board established the Audit Committee on August 23, 2005. The Audit Committee consists of two members, Fu Xuan-Jie, Li Xiao-Gang, all of whom are “independent” within the meaning of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., which is the independence standard that we have chosen to report under. With the resignation of Mr. Zhang Xi on April 14, 2014, our Audit Committee currently does not have a financial expert, as that term is used under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-B. The Company is in process of replacing Mr. Zhang Xi.

Governance and Nominating Committee

The Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board consists of Mr. Lin Chao-Chin, Mr. Li Xiao-Gang and Mr. Fu Xuan-Jie. The primary duties of the Governance and Nominating Committee are to identify and review candidates for the Board and recommend candidates for election to the Board, periodically review the skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the current Board, and periodically review the Company’s corporate governance policies and recommend modifications to the Board as appropriate. The Governance and Nominating Committee operates pursuant to a charter that was approved by our Board, a current copy of which is available on our website at www.sunrise.sh under the heading “Investor” and subheading “Corporate Governance.”

Our shareholders may recommend director nominees, and the Governance and Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. We anticipate that nominees recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as nominees recommended by anyone else, although the Governance and Nominating Committee may prefer nominees who are personally known to the existing directors and whose reputations are highly regarded. The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider all relevant qualifications as well as the needs of the company in terms of compliance with SEC rules.

While the selection of qualified directors is a complex, subjective process that requires consideration of many intangible factors, the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board takes into account the following criteria, among others, in considering directors and candidates for the board: judgment, experience, skills and personal character of the candidate, and the needs of the Board.

The Governance and Nominating Committee conducts a process of making a preliminary assessment of each proposed nominee based upon the resume and biographical information, an indication of the individual’s willingness to serve and other background information. This information is evaluated against the criteria set forth above and our specific needs at that time. Based upon a preliminary assessment of the candidate(s), those who appear best suited to meet our needs may be invited to participate in a series of interviews, which are used as a further means of evaluating potential candidates. On the basis of information learned during this process, the Governance and Nominating Committee determines which nominee(s) to recommend to the Board to submit for election at the next annual meeting. The Governance and Nominating Committee uses the same process for evaluating all nominees, regardless of the original source of the nomination.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board consists of Mr. Lin Chao-Chin, Mr. Li Xiao-Gang and Mr. Fu Xuan-Jie. The primary duties of the Compensation Committee are to annually review and approve the Company’s compensation strategy to ensure that employees are rewarded appropriately; review annually and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive compensation; annually review and determine elements of compensation of the CEO and other officers; and review and recommend compensation for non-employee members of our Board.
