CHINA AUTO LOGISTICS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(1) Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, Going Concern, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “China Auto”) operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ever Auspicious International Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“HKCo.”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tianjin Seashore New District Shisheng Business Trading Group Co. Ltd. (“Shisheng”), a company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Shisheng’s wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, Tianjin Ganghui Information Technology Corp. (“Ganghui”), and Tianjin Hengjia Port Logistics Corp. (“Hengjia”).

The Company’s principal businesses include (i) sales of imported automobiles, (ii) financing services related to imported automobiles, and (iii) other services including automobile information websites and advertising services, and logistics services related to the automobile importing process and other automobile value added services, such as assistance with customs clearance, storage and nationwide delivery services.

On June 1, 2016, Shisheng entered into (i) an Equity Transfer Agreement (“Equity Transfer Agreement”) with Wuxi Huitong Automobile Sales and Service Co., Ltd. (“Huitong”) to sell 100% of the equity of Tianjin Zhonghe Automobile Sales and Service Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghe”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company prior to this transaction, and (ii) a Debt Transfer Agreement, dated June 1, 2016, by and among Shisheng, Huitong, and Hezhong (Tianjin) International Development Co., Ltd. (“Hezhong”) (the “Debt Transfer Agreement”). Zhonghe owns and operates the Airport International Automall located in the Tianjin Airport Economic Area and owns 40% of Tianjin Car King Used Car Trading Company Ltd. (“Car King Tianjin”). Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company relinquished ownership of the Airport International Automall property and its 40% of Car King Tianjin. As a result, the Airport Automall Automotive Services business has been discontinued.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations and the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of China Auto as of June 30, 2016 and the results of its operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Going Concern

The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and may continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan for 2016. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing efforts to execute its business plan will be successful and that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $477,875 and $469,783 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $665,397 and $1,132,864 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,221,910 and net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $49,291,987 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% equity interest in Zhonghe to Huitong for approximately $62.8 million and entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement which transferred the outstanding payable balance related to the Zhonghe acquisition of approximately $36.8 million to Huitong. The Company received a net cash proceed of approximately $21.9 million (net of payable to Zhonghe of approximately $4.1 million). The Company expects to use the cash proceeds for working capital.

The Company does not currently have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain its operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s plan continues to be to develop new customer relationships and substantially increase our cash flows from operations and revenue derived from our products/services. If the Company’s revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, the Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the collectibility of accounts receivable, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Auto and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% of the equity interest in Zhonghe. Accordingly, Zhonghe’s operating results have been consolidated with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements through May 31, 2016.

6

Currency Reporting

The Company’s operations in the PRC use the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currency, whereas amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures are stated in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company, unless stated otherwise. As such, the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the condensed consolidated statements of income have been translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized.

The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in determining other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s main source of income was generated through (1) sales of automobiles, (2) service fees for assisting customers to get bank financing on purchases of automobiles, (3) web-based advertising services including fees from (i) displaying graphical advertisements on the Company websites and (ii) web-based listing services that allow customers to place automobile related information on the Company’s websites, and (4) automobile value added services.

The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred upon shipment or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes sales of automobiles upon delivery and acceptance by the customers and where collectibility is reasonably assured.

Service revenue related to financing services is recognized ratably over the financing period.

Service fees for graphical advertisements on the Company’s websites are charged on a fixed fee basis. The Company recognizes the advertising revenue when the service is performed over the service term. The Company charges a monthly fee for listing services and recognizes the revenue when services are performed. The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (i) subscription exemption, (ii) discounted prices and (iii) free advertisements. The Company classifies sales incentives as a reduction of net revenues. Revenues, net of discounts and allowances, are recognized ratably over the service periods.

The Company recognizes revenue from automobile value added services when such services are performed.

Value added taxes (“VAT”) represent amounts collected on behalf of specific regulatory agencies that require remittance by a specified date. These amounts are collected at the time of sales and are detailed on invoices provided to customers. The Company accounts for VAT on a net basis. The Company recorded and paid business taxes based on a percentage of the net service revenues and reported the service revenue net of the business taxes and other sales related taxes.

Receivables Related to Financing Services

The Company records receivables related to financing services when cash is loaned to customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayment by customers, the Company records the amounts as reductions of receivables related to financing services. Receivables related to financing services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles and are considered receivables held for investment. The Company charges a fee for providing loan services and such fees are prepaid by customers. The Company amortizes these fees over the receivable term, which is typically 90 days, using the straight-line method.

The Company evaluates the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and makes estimates for potential credit losses. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company experienced difficulties in collecting the receivable from a financing service customer, but the receivable was secured by certain imported automobiles. The Company took possession of these secured automobiles and sold them during the year ended December 31, 2015. The sales proceeds were used to offset the outstanding receivable from this customer. The Company will continue to pursue collecting the remaining receivable balance. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an allowance for uncollectible account on receivable related to financing services in the amount of $2,942,770 and $3,081,331, respectively.

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market (net realizable). We continually evaluate the composition of our inventory, assessing slow-moving and ongoing products. Our products are comprised of the purchase cost of automobiles which declines in value over time. We continuously evaluate our inventory to determine the reserve amount for slow-moving inventory. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no reserve for obsolescence.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents, therefore, the basic earnings (loss) per share is the same as the diluted earnings (loss) per share.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance.  The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted as of one year prior to the current effective date. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard 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 of issuance of the entity's financial statements. Additionally, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Under ASU 2015-17, a reporting entity is required to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Current guidance requiring the offsetting of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a tax-paying component of an entity and presentation as a single noncurrent amount is not affected. The standard is effective for public entities for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Entities may apply the update prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively for all periods presented. The effects of this update on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not expected to be material.

8

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-01 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company is not aware of any recently issued accounting pronouncements that, when adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2) Sale of Zhonghe

On June 1, 2016, Shisheng entered into (i) an Equity Transfer Agreement with Huitong to sell 100% of the equity of Zhonghe, and (ii) a Debt Transfer Agreement, by and among Shisheng, Huitong, and Hezhong. Zhonghe owns and operates the Airport International Automall located in the Tianjin Airport Economic Area and owns 40% of Car King Tianjin.

Under the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the sale price for the Zhonghe equity was approximately $62.8 million (RMB 410,000,000). The sale price was payable in two parts: (i) Huitong paid Shisheng approximately $26 million (RMB 169,938,192) in cash and (ii) under the terms of the Debt Transfer Agreement, Huitong assumed Shisheng’s outstanding payment obligations to Hezhong of $36.8 million (RMB 240,061,808) under the Equity Transfer Agreement, dated November 30, 2013, by and between Hezhong and Shisheng. Upon signing, Shisheng transferred control of Zhonghe to Huitong. Failure by either party to fulfill their obligations under the Debt Transfer Agreement may result in the termination of the Equity Transfer Agreement, as well as a penalty of 10% of the total transfer price.

Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company relinquished ownership of the Airport International Automall property and its 40% ownership of Car King Tianjin.

Zhonghe operated in two segments, Sales of Automobiles and Airport Automall Automotive Services. As a result of the sale of Zhonghe, the airport automall automotive services unit has been discontinued. The details of the net assets sold by segments are shown below:

The disposal of Zhonghe and its Sales of Automobiles division is not considered a strategic shift on the Company’s Sales of Automobiles as such disposal does not impact any of the geographic coverage, line of business or any other divisions or operations of the Company. Therefore the Company concluded that the disposal of Zhonghe’s Sales of Automobiles division should not be classified as discontinued operations.

The Airport Automall Automotive Services unit was comprised of two sectors including (1) the rental of the airport automall and (2) the joint venture investment in Car King Used Cars. Huitong obtained control of Zhonghe on June 1, 2016. After the completion of the disposal, the Company is no longer involved with the rental or used car business and has no continuing cash inflows or outflows from this unit. The disposal of the Airport Automall Automotive Services unit has a material impact on the Company’s cash flow and operating results. Therefore the Company concluded that the disposal of the Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services unit should be classified as discontinued operations.

The loss from discontinued operations presented in the condensed statements of operations consists of the following for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

(10) Major Customers and Suppliers

One customer accounted for approximately 30% of the Company’s net revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2016 while two customers accounted for an aggregate of 42% of the Company’s net revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

(11) Retained earnings

According to the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Wholly-Owned Foreign Investment, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are required to make appropriations from after-tax profits as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) to nondistributable 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 stockholder, 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s statutory reserve fund was approximately $2,644,000 and $2,126,000, respectively.

(12) Related Party Balances and Transactions

Ms. Cheng Weihong (the Senior Vice President and Chairwoman of Shisheng and wife of China Auto’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tong Shiping) made non-interest bearing loans to the Company from time to time to meet working capital needs of the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company made aggregate borrowings from Ms. Cheng Weihong of $384,826 and $389,120, respectively, and made repayments of $0 and $244,990 to Ms. Cheng Weihong. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding balances due to Ms. Cheng Weihong were $1,157,071 and $722,028, respectively.

The Company’s former shareholder, Sino Peace Limited (“Sino Peace”), paid certain accrued expenses in the previous years on behalf of the Company. The amounts of $2,045,070 and $2,093,182 were outstanding as payable related to prior years’ professional fees on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In January 2015, the Company received notification from an individual who claimed to be the owner of St. George International Limited ("St. George") and made a claim that the debt owed to Sino Peace by the Company had been transferred to St. George.  However, the Company neither received any evidence to support such assignment nor any notification from the owner of Sino Peace that Sino Peace was transferring its legal right of collecting the receivable from the Company to St. George. The Company has been unable to locate the owner of Sino Peace to confirm such transfer and therefore considers such claim by St. George legally nonbinding at this time.

The balances as discussed above as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are interest-free, unsecured and have no fixed term of repayment. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there was no imputed interest charged in relation to these balances.

Mr. Tong Shiping and Ms. Cheng Weihong personally guarantee borrowings on various lines of credit related to our financing services and short-term borrowings.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Prior Operations of China Auto Logistics Inc.

China Auto Logistics Inc., formerly Fresh Ideas Media, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 22, 2005. Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. was engaged in the advertising and consulting business. In February 2005, Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. formed its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Alliance, Inc. (“Community Alliance”), an entity which marketed sub-licenses for take home school folders. Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. had only commenced limited operations and had not yet generated significant revenues, and was therefore considered a development stage company.

The Exchange and the Spin-Off

On November 10, 2008, Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. entered into the Exchange Agreement with HKCo, whereby Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of HKCo in exchange for the issuance by Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. of 1,950,000 (pre reverse split of 11,700,000) newly-issued shares of our common stock. The Closing occurred on the same day, immediately following the cancellation of an aggregate of 189,167 (pre reverse split of 1,135,000) shares of Fresh Ideas Media, Inc.’s common stock held by Phillip E. Ray and Ruth Daily, Fresh Ideas Media, Inc.’s principal stockholders immediately prior to the Closing. Prior to the Exchange, Phillip E. Ray and Ruth Daily owned approximately 23.89% and 16.58% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Fresh Ideas Media, Inc., respectively. As of the Closing, HKCo beneficially owned approximately 64.64% of the voting capital stock of Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. As a result of the Exchange, HKCo became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. and Fresh Ideas Media, Inc.’s primary business operations were those of HKCo. Shortly after the Closing, Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. changed its name from Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. to China Auto Logistics Inc.

In connection with the consummation of the Exchange, Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. agreed to consummate the spin-off of Community Alliance through a dividend of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Community Alliance to holders of Fresh Ideas Media, Inc.’s common stock as of September 9, 2008. The spin-off was approved by the Board of Directors of Fresh Ideas Media, Inc. on September 9, 2008 and was to be consummated upon the satisfactory resolution of all of the SEC’s comments to the Form 10 registration statement relating to Community Alliance’s common stock and such registration statement’s effectiveness. Upon the consummation of the spin-off, the business and operations of HKCo were the sole business and operations of Fresh Ideas Media, Inc.

HKCo was incorporated in Hong Kong on October 17, 2007. Prior to December 25, 2007, HKCo had minimal assets and no operations. On December 25, 2007, Shisheng a company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, became a wholly-owned foreign enterprise of HKCo and this arrangement was approved by relevant ministries of the PRC government.

Upon the completion of the transactions on December 25, 2007 and November 10, 2008, the Company owned 100% of HKCo which owned 100% of Shisheng, the operating entity of HKCo. For financial reporting purposes, these transactions are classified as a recapitalization of Shisheng and the historical financial statements of Shisheng are reported as the Company’s historical financial statements.

On November 1, 2010, Shisheng acquired all issued and outstanding stocks of Qizhong and completed the acquisition simultaneously. As a result, Qizhong became a wholly-owned subsidiary group of the Company and was included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On March 15, 2011, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the former owners of Qizhong and agreed that the remaining cash consideration totaling $2.09 million and the consideration share of 177,238 (pre reverse split of 1,063,427) shares of common stock of the Company should be paid to the former owners of Qizhong no later than June 30, 2011.

Pursuant to the Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding, the purchase price, net of cash acquired of $1.68 million from Qizhong, was $4.47 million for the acquisition of 100% of Qizhong’s equity interests. The purchase price of $4.47 million consisted of $1.01 million in cash ($2.69 million payable in cash less cash acquired of $1.68 million from Qizhong) and the issuance of 177,238 (pre reverse split of 1,063,427) shares of common stock valued at approximately $3.46 million. The value of common stock was determined based on $19.50 (pre reverse split of $3.25) per share, the per share price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date. The Company remitted approximately $600,000 and the remaining balance of the cash consideration in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, respectively. The 177,238 (pre reverse split of 1,063,427) shares of the Company’s common stock was to be unconditionally issued and was included in the Company’s equity as of December 31, 2010; the Company issued these shares during fiscal year 2011.

On November 22, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhonghe, entered into a Cooperation Framework Agreement with Car King China, with respect to the establishment of a joint venture that will own and operate a used car business. The establishment of this joint venture was contingent upon the successful completion by the Company of the acquisition of Zhonghe which owns and operates the Airport International Auto Mall, where the used car business will be operated. Following the Zhonghe Acquisition, on November 30, 2013, Tianjin Car King Used Car Trading Company Ltd (the “Joint Venture”) was established in accordance with the terms of the Cooperation Framework Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Articles of Association of Car King Tianjin, the Company will contribute approximately $1,303,000 (RMB8,000,000) and Car King China will contribute approximately $1,955,000 (RMB12,000,000) to form Car King Tianjin, which will have total registered capital of approximately $3,258,000 (RMB20,000,000). Prior to being acquired by the Company, Zhonghe contributed approximately $652,000 (RMB4,000,000) in November 2013. The Company is entitled to 40% of Car King Tianjin’s net profit or loss.

On November 30, 2013, Shisheng signed the Auto Mall Acquisition Agreement with Hezhong (Tianjin) International Development Ltd. Co. (“Hezhong”) to purchase 100% of the equity of Zhonghe, which owns and operates the Airport International Auto Mall. Under the terms of the Auto Mall Acquisition Agreement, Shisheng will pay RMB559,768,000 (approximately $91.4 million) to Hezhong, in four annual installments with an annualized rate of interest of 6%. The initial payment of RMB240,000,000 (approximately $39.2 million) was paid within 5 business days after the signing of the Agreement. Upon the payment by Shisheng of this first installment, Hezhong transferred control of Zhonghe to Shisheng. Failure by Shisheng to pay the remaining installments may result in the termination of the Auto Mall Acquisition Agreement, as well as a penalty of 10% of the total transfer price. We made an installment payment of approximately $16.3 million in November 2014 and $3.2 million in January 2015. On November 10, 2015, the Company entered into a Payment Extension Agreement with Hezhong to extend the due date for the second $18.6 million installment payment from November 30, 2015 to May 31, 2016. The final installment payment remains to be due on November 30, 2016. The unpaid amount bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum. As of December 31, 2015, unpaid installment payments including interest totaled approximately $36.7 million.

On September 23, 2015, the Company sold its 98% equity interest in Zhengji, which was engaged in automobile sales, to Mr. Wu Xiang Yang, an unrelated party, at a price of $3,048,483 (net of cash of $7,408 at Zhengji and amount due to Zhengji of $5,231,941). Zhengji’s assets consisted of automobile inventories of $3,422,658, other assets of $12,493 and other current liabilities of $2,329 on the disposal date resulting in a loss on sale of equity interest in subsidiary in the amount of $210,895 after consideration of the non controlling interest of $173,444 in Zhengji. Zhengji had no material operations during 2015 through the disposal date.

On June 1, 2016, Shisheng entered into (i) an Equity Transfer Agreement (“Equity Transfer Agreement”) with Wuxi Huitong Automobile Sales and Service Co., Ltd. (“Huitong”) to sell 100% of the equity of Zhonghe, and (ii) a Debt Transfer Agreement, by and among Shisheng, Huitong, and Hezhong (the “Debt Transfer Agreement”). At the time, Zhonghe was the owner and operator of the Airport International Automall located in the Tianjin Airport Economic Area and the 40%owner of Car King Tianjin.

Under the terms of the Zhonghe Equity Transfer Agreement, the sale price for the Zhonghe equity was approximately $62.8 million (RMB 410,000,000). The sale price was payable in two parts: (i) Huitong will paid Shisheng approximately $26 million (RMB 169,938,192) in cash and (ii) under the terms of the Debt Transfer Agreement, Huitong assumed Shisheng’s outstanding payment obligations to Hezhong of $36.8 million (RMB 240,061,808) under the Equity Transfer Agreement, dated November 30, 2013, by and between Hezhong and Shisheng. Upon signing, Shisheng transferred control of Zhonghe to Huitong. Failure by either party to fulfill their obligations under the Debt Transfer Agreement may result in the termination of the Equity Transfer Agreement, as well as a penalty of 10% of the total transfer price.

Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company relinquished ownership of the Airport International Automall property and its 40% ownership of Car King Tianjin.

Current Business of the Company

The Company provides individual and business customers with services in relation to automobile sales, financing services, custom clearance, storage, national transportation, quotation platform, and information relating to automotive services and products, through its websites (www.at188.com, www.at160.com). The Company also sells imported automobiles and, as the only one-stop service provider in Tianjin, provides dealer financing to our customers.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”), which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses; to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the condensed 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 valuation 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 provision 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-Q reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our condensed 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

We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred upon shipment or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes the sales of automobiles upon delivery and acceptance by the customers and where collectibility is reasonably assured.

Service revenue related to financing services is recognized ratably over the financing period.

Service fees for graphical advertisements on the Company’s websites are charged on a fixed fee basis. The Company recognizes the advertising revenue when the service is performed over the service term. The Company charges a monthly fee for listing services and recognizes the revenue when services are performed. The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (i) subscription exemptions, (ii) discounted prices, and (iii) free advertisements. The Company classifies sales incentives as a reduction of net revenues. Revenues, net of discounts and allowances, are recognized ratably over the service periods.

The Company recognizes revenue from automobile value-added services when such services are performed.

25

Receivables Related to Financing Services

We record a receivable related to financing services when cash is loaned to customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayments by customers, we record the amounts as reductions of receivables related to financing services. Receivables related to financing services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles and are considered receivables held for investment. We charge a fee for providing loan services and such fee is prepaid by customers. We amortize these fees over the receivable terms, which range between three months and six months, using the straight-line method. We record such amortized amounts as financing fee income, and the unamortized amount is classified as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We evaluate the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and make estimates for potential credit losses. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we experienced difficulties in collecting the receivable from a financing service customer, but the receivable was secured by certain imported automobiles. We took possession of these secured automobiles and sold them during the year ended December 31, 2015. The sales proceeds were used to offset the outstanding receivable from this customer. The Company will continue to pursue collecting the remaining receivable balance. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an allowance for uncollectible account on receivable related to financing services in the amount of $2,942,770 and $3,081,331, respectively

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market (net realizable). We continually evaluate the composition of our inventory, assessing slow-moving and ongoing products. Our products are comprised of the purchase cost of automobiles, which declines in value over time. We continuously evaluate our inventory to determine the reserve amount for slow-moving inventory. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no reserve for obsolescence.

Income Taxes

In the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income tax purposes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards and credits by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We conduct this analysis on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the deferred tax liabilities amounted to $0 and $9,495,559, respectively.

The Company has not provided deferred taxes on unremitted earnings attributable to its international subsidiaries as they are to be reinvested indefinitely. These earnings relate to ongoing operations and are approximately $20.5 million as of June 30, 2016. Because of the availability of US foreign tax credits, it is not practicable to determine the US income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not indefinitely reinvested.

The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2016 or unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Company classifies interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016, there are no penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance.  The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted as of one year prior to the current effective date. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard 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 of issuance of the entity's financial statements. Additionally, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Under ASU 2015-17, a reporting entity is required to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Current guidance requiring the offsetting of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a tax-paying component of an entity and presentation as a single noncurrent amount is not affected. The standard is effective for public entities for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Entities may apply the update prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively for all periods presented. The effects of this update on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not expected to be material.

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-01 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company is not aware of any recently issued accounting pronouncements that, when adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management and. The following should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and their related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

The following table sets forth certain information relating to our results of operations, and our condensed consolidated statements of operations for our continuing operations as a percentage of net revenue, for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2016			%of net revenue			Three Months Ended June 30, 2015			% of net revenue			Change in %
Net revenue	$	93,819,385			100.00	%	$	93,688,413			100.00	%		0.14	%

Income from operations		51,040			0.05	%		276,155			0.29	%		(81.52	)%
Other expenses		(506,994	)		(0.54	)%		(679,283	)		(0.73	)%		(25.36	)%

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of China Auto Logistics Inc.		(477,875	)		(0.51	)%		(469,783	)		(0.50	)%		1.72	%

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our net revenue increased 0.14% to $93,819,385 from $93,688,413 for the same period in 2015, and our cost of revenue increased 0.34% to $93,173,641 from $92,856,032 for the same period in 2015. As compared to the same period in 2015, our gross profit, income from continuing operations, net loss from continuing operations and net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of China Auto Logistics Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased 22.42% to $645,744, decreased 81.52% to $51,040, increased 1.57% to $(477,722), and increased 1.72% to $(477,875), respectively, due primarily to the decrease in fee income from financing services and increases in general and administrative expense which was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

Net Revenue

The following table sets forth a summary of our net revenue by continuing segment for the periods indicated, in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenue:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2016		% of net revenue			Three Months Ended June 30, 2015		% of net revenue			Change in %

- Other Services		17,176		0.02	%		11,808		0.01	%		45.46	%

28

Sales of Automobiles

Net revenue from Sales of Automobiles increased 0.74% to $92,774,929 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $92,096,247 for the same period in 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company sold 905 automobiles and 846 automobiles, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 7% in volume. The average unit selling price per automobile decreased to $103,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $109,000 for the same period in 2015. Our sales increased rapidly during the second half of 2015 and this trend continued during the first quarter of 2016. In early August 2015, China’s official currency Renmenbi (“RMB”) devalued by over 3% against the U.S. dollar over a 5-day period. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the RMB devaluated over 5.5% against the U.S. dollar. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, RMB declined about 3% against the U.S. dollar. As many observers and economists expect the RMB to continue to devalue against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, the Company expected many of its customers to increase their orders in anticipation of increased prices; the Company expected this trend to be temporary. The Company started to see automobile sales decline substantially in the second quarter of 2016 after strong sales in the first quarter of 2016. We expect automobile sales will stabilize in the second half of 2016. We expect some change to the overall market demand and a re-allocation of the market share between the traditional "4S" authorized dealers and auto resellers like us due to market changes (such as switch of consumers’ taste for luxury automobiles and the frequency for consumers to buy new vehicles) and the new “Parallel Imported Vehicles” scheme. However, how these changes will impact our business cannot be reasonably determined at this time.

Our gross margin dropped slightly to 0.17% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 0.18% during the same period in 2015.

In August 2014, the China Commerce and Industry Bureau authorized the “Parallel Imported Vehicles” scheme. The “Parallel Imported Vehicles” scheme permits foreign made automobiles to be imported by importers in addition to authorized automobile dealers. This policy officially opened the imported automobile market to importers like us, so that we can now be in direct competition with the authorized dealers. This is an antitrust effort by the Chinese government to address complaints about the authorized automobile dealers overcharging for foreign-made automobiles. These new rules will also officially allow imported automobiles sold by parties other than authorized dealers to be treated the same as those sold through authorized dealers (i.e., with respect to insurance coverage and the registration process). As of June 30, 2016, the PRC government has selected Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Tianjin as four experimental cities to implement “Parallel Imported Vehicles” scheme.

While we remain one of the leaders in the imported automobile market, we continue to sell our automobiles at a low gross margin in the very competitive market in order to maintain or expand our market share and maintain our market leader status. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, sales for our top three selling brands, Land Rover, Mercedes Benz and Toyota which accounted for 70% and 79%, respectively.

Sales to the Company’s top three customers, each of which are car dealers, accounted for 37% and 39% of the Company’s sales during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company will continue to maintain close working relationships with its top customers while attempting to reduce the concentration of revenues among these top customers by actively looking for new customers to enlarge its customer base. 

Financing Services

The Company provides Financing Services to its customers using the Company’s bank facility lines of credit. The Company earns a service fee from its customers for drawing its facility lines of credit related to its customers’ purchases of automobiles and payment of import taxes. Customers bear all the interest and fees charged by the banks and prepay those fees upon the execution of their service contracts with the Company.

29

Net revenue from Financing Services decreased 35% to $1,027,280 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $1,580,358 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The Company had an aggregate amount of credit lines of approximately $125 million (RMB830 million) as of June 30, 2016 and $184 million (RMB1.12 billion) as of June 30, 2015. Our Financing Services income and related cost of revenue are affected by the interest rate charged by banks. Our Financing Services revenue consists of two portions: interest income and fee income. Excluding revenue from the interest income portion of $554,735 and $925,841 in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the revenue from the fee income portion of our Financing Services decreased 27.8% to $472,545 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $654,517 for three months ended June 30, 2015. The gross margin for our Financing Services segment increased to 46% for the months ended June 30, 2016 from 41.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower interest expense incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Historically, a significant portion of our financing income has been related to fees that we charge to our customers for extending temporary credit beyond the financing terms for which these customers have contracted with banks. Because of a reutilization of our working capital following the Zhonghe Acquisition and the creation of Car King Tianjin, we had limited funds available for this service starting in the beginning of 2014. With the acquisition installment payments made in November 2014 and January 2015, our working capital available to provide this temporary credit service, which had been a significant part of our Financing Services and a major contributor to our gross margin in recent years, was limited. On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% equity interest in Zhonghe. We expect our liquidity will improve which will allow the Company to have more working capital to be used in the temporary credit extension service. We will seek to continue better managing the use of our cash flow in order to generate additional fee income in the future.

We provide Financing Services to our customers with our lines of credit with major commercial banks in the PRC, including Agricultural Bank of China, Pudong Development Bank, China Zheshang Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Minsheng Bank, and Shengjing Bank. We continue to strengthen our relationship with these banks and aim to negotiate with more banks for higher lines of credit at more favorable terms. Based on the Company’s business relationships with some financial institutions, we are able to obtain financing on an “as-needed” basis and we are in negotiations for a number of new credit lines. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had approximately $64 million and $90 million, respectively, lines of credit available to use in our Financing Services. As of August 12, 2016, the Company had aggregate credit lines of approximately $125 million (RMB 830 million). Although all of our lines of credit have maturities of less than one year and may not be renewed on the same terms, if at all, we do not expect that the expiration of our lines of credit with any one of our existing banks will have a material adverse effect on our ability to provide Financing Services. However, if the automobile market in the PRC, and in particular the market for imported automobiles, slows down in the future, our revenue from Financing Services would be materially and adversely affected by a decreased number of transactions.

Our revenue growth from Financing Services is heavily dependent on overall industry growth and the economic conditions of the market in the PRC. As discussed above, we have established credit lines with most major commercial banks in the PRC, and although an enormous decrease or the simultaneous expiration of credit lines or other bank facilities may temporarily reduce our capacity to provide financing services and affect our purchase power, we have not experienced formidable difficulties in the access of credit lines and any other bank facilities in the past. Therefore, we do not foresee any difficulty at this time in obtaining credit lines and loan facilities from our banks. However as banks in China continue to reduce their credit risk and improve the quality of their outstanding loans, we continue to experience more requirements for obtaining bank lines and loans such as requiring personal guarantees by our executives and directors, guarantees by our major customers, suppliers, and business partners.

30

Other Services

Other services include revenue generated from Web-based Advertising. We have revised our business plan and moved away from Web-based Advertising Services and Automobile Value Added Services to focus on Automobile Sales and Financing Services and any potential business opportunities. We expect that the revenue generated from this segment will continue to be low compared to other segments. Our Web-based Advertising Services revenue increased 45.46% to $17,176 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $11,808 for the same period of 2015. Revenue from Web-based Advertising Services was generated by subscription fees and advertisements.

Gross profit	$	645,744		0.69	%	$	832,381		0.89	%		(22.42	)%

Our cost of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2016 consisted primarily of the cost of automobiles purchased and certain direct labor for our the Sales of Automobiles and interest expense and line of credit fees related to our Financing Services. Our cost of revenue increased 0.34% to $93,173,641 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $92,856,032 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The Sales of automobiles accounted for 98.89% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 98.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

As our cost of revenue consists primarily of the purchase price of imported automobiles, we have limited influence on such costs. The prices of imported automobiles are determined solely by suppliers and are dependent upon the market conditions. We will continue to work on obtaining more favorable terms and discounts by strengthening our relationship with suppliers and placing more batch orders.

Gross profit decreased 22.42% to $645,744 in the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $832,381 in the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to continuing price pressure on the automobile sales during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and a decrease in the fee revenue of the financing service.

Net Revenue

The following table sets forth a summary of our net revenue by continuing segment for the periods indicated, in dollars and as a percentage of total net revenue:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2016		% of net revenue			Six Months Ended June 30, 2015		% of net revenue			Change in %
Net revenue	$	230,883,403		100.00	%	$	181,038,575		100.00	%		27.53	%

- Financing Services		2,247,882		0.97	%		2,694,121		1.49	%		(16.56	)%
- Other Services		25,100		0.01	%		34,336		0.02	%		(26.90	)%

Sales of Automobiles

Net revenue from Sales of Automobiles increased 28.21% to $228,610,421 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $178,310,118 for the same period in 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company sold 2,209 automobiles and 1,642 automobiles, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 35% in volume. The average unit selling price per automobile decreased to $104,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $109,000 for the same period in 2015.

In early August 2015, China’s official currency Renmenbi (“RMB”) devalued by over 3% against the U.S. dollar over a 5-day period. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the RMB devaluated over 5.5% against the U.S. dollar. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, RMB declined about 2.4% against the U.S. dollar. As many observers and economists expect the RMB to continue to devalue against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, the Company expected many of its customers to increase their orders in anticipation of increased prices; the Company expected this trend to be temporary. The Company started to see automobile sales decline substantially in the second quarter of 2016 after strong sales in the first quarter of 2016. We expect automobile sales will stabilize in the second half of 2016.

Our gross margin increased slightly to 0.24% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 0.21% during the same period in 2015.

While we remain one of the leaders in the imported automobile market, we continue to sell our automobiles at a low gross margin in the very competitive market in order to maintain or expand our market share and maintain our market leader status. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, sales for our top three selling brands, Land Rover, Mercedes Benz and Toyota accounted for 75% and 74%, respectively.

Sales to the Company’s top three customers, each of which are car dealers, accounted for 43% and 37% of the Company’s sales during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company will continue to maintain close working relationships with its top customers while attempting to reduce the concentration of revenues among these top customers by actively looking for new customers to enlarge its customer base. 

Financing Services

Net revenue from Financing Services decreased 16.56% to $2,247,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $2,694,121 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our Financing Services revenue consists of two portions: interest income and fee income. Excluding revenue from the interest income portion of $1,231,602 and $1,626,155 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the revenue from the fee income portion of our Financing Services decreased 4.84% to $1,016,280 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $1,067,966 for six months ended June 30, 2015. The gross margin for our Financing Services segment increased to 45.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 33.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower interest expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period of 2015. In addition, we were charged a maintenance fee during the six months ended June 30, 2015 on our line of credit with Agricultural Bank of China in the amount of $163,000, which was not charged during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

34

Other Services

Other services include revenue generated from Web-based Advertising. We have revised our business plan and moved away from Web-based Advertising Services and Automobile Value Added Services to focus on Automobile Sales and Financing Services and any potential business opportunities. We expect that the revenue generated from this segment will continue to be low compared to other segments. Our Web-based Advertising Services revenue decreased 26.9% to $25,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $34,336 for the same period of 2015. Revenue from Web-based Advertising Services was generated by subscription fees and advertisements.

Income from continuing operations increased 105.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $330,875 from $160,739 in the same period in 2015. The increase in income from continuing operations was primarily due to the increase in the sales of automobiles.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and expenses consist primarily of interest income, interest expense, gain (loss) on disposal of property and equipment.

The Company’s interest income is generated by interest earned through bank deposits.

Interest income increased 87.52% to $214,463 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $114,368 during the same period of 2015 primarily due to the increase in average restricted cash balances which earned interest at fixed deposit rates that were partially offset by the lower average prevailing interest rates.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations for the three months and six month period ended June 30, 2016. However, overall commodity inflation is an ongoing concern for our business and has been a considerable operational and financial focus for the Company. We continue to monitor commodity costs and work with our suppliers and customers to manage changes in commodity costs.

Discontinued Airport Automall Automotive Services Business Unit

On June 1, 2016, the Company discontinued the Airport Automall Automotive Services business unit as a result of the sale of Zhonghe. In connection with the sale, we recognized a gain of $6,701,350, which was excluded from the operating results of the continuing results. The operating results of Airport Automall Automotive Services business unit was included in the discontinued operations. The Company received approximately $21.9 million net cash proceeds (net of the amount owed to Zhonghe and the outstanding payable to former owner of Hezhong which was assumed by Huitong) from the sale of Zhonghe. The Company expects to use the cash proceeds from the sale for working capital.

Excluding the gain from the disposal of Zhonghe, loss from discontinued operations amounted to $1,037,246 and $1,775,580 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $1,910,641 and $3,778,940 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The loss from discontinued operations was primarily attributable to the depreciation expense on the airport automall property and interest expense related to the payable related to the Zhonghe acquisition and short term borrowings to finance the prior acquisition payments.

Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company relinquished ownership of the Airport International Automall property and its 40% ownership of Car King Tianjin.

Please refer to Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generally finance our operations through a combination of operating profit, short-term borrowing from banks and shareholder loans. During the reporting periods, we arranged a number of bank loans to satisfy our financing needs. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through bank loans, and we have not experienced any liquidity problems in settling our payables in the ordinary course of business and repaying our bank loans when they come due.

We believe that the level of financial resources is a significant factor for our future development, and accordingly, we may determine from time to time to raise capital through private debt or equity financings to strengthen the Company’s financial position, to expand our facilities and to provide the Company with additional flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising such additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Going Concern

The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and may continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan for 2016. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing efforts to execute its business plan will be successful and that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $477,875 and $469,783 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $665,397 and $1,132,864 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated a deficit of $3,221,910 and net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $49,291,987 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% of the equity interest in Zhonghe to Huitong for approximately $62.8 million and entered into an agreement to transfer the outstanding payable balance related to the Zhonghe acquisition of approximately $36.8 million to Huitong. We received a net cash proceed of approximately $21.9 million (net of payable to Zhonghe of approximately $4.1 million). The Company expects to use the cash proceeds from the sale for working capital.

The Company does not currently have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain its operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s plan continues to be to develop new customer relationships and substantially increase our cash flows from operations and revenue derived from our products/services. If the Company’s revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, the Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had net cash used in operating activities of $50,591,096 (including net cash used in operating activities of $1,299,109 from discontinued operations) as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,728,443 (including net of net cash used in operating activities of $2,836,578 from discontinued operations) during the same period of 2015. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily consisted of an increase in restricted cash of $34,912,920 due to an increase in notes payable to suppliers, which required maintaining certain levels of restricted cash, and an increase in advances to suppliers of $54,067,994 as we continue to be positive about China’s luxury automobile sales market, which was partially offset by an increase in notes payable to suppliers of $36,344,159.

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily consisted of a net loss of $4,912,781, an increase in restricted cash due to a larger balance of restricted cash required for notes payable of $14,434,440, an increase in receivables related to financing services of $11,075,069, an increase in advances to suppliers of $56,164,079 due to the building up of our inventory orders in order to increase our inventory selections for our customers and certain purchase orders being subsequently canceled as a result of our change of assessment in the market demands. The net amount of cash used in operating activities was partially offset by an increase in payables related to financing services of $30,775,774 due to larger outstanding balances on the draws on the lines of credit related to Financing Services, an increase in notes payable to suppliers of $21,221,809 due to our efforts in reserving our cash flows by deferring payments to our suppliers, and an increase in customer deposits of $33,608,269 due to increased advanced payments from our customers for future sales.

Investing Activities

We received net proceeds of $21,423,038 from the sale of Zhonghe during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We received cash proceeds of $8,563 and $9,275 related to the disposal of an automobile used by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We had net purchases of property and equipment in the amount of $336,327 and $0, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $26,175,095 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $671,921 during the same period in 2015. The net cash (used for) provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 included mainly net proceeds of $27,908,243 and net repayments of $821,004, respectively, on short-term loans from banks. Bank overdraft decreased $2,117,974 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and increased $4,953 during the same period in 2015. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we received non-interest bearing short-term advances from our Director and Senior Vice President, Ms. Cheng Weihong, in the amount of $384,826 and $389,120, respectively, and repaid $0 and $244,990, respectively.

Our total cash and cash equivalents decreased to $4,014,335 as of June 30, 2016, as compared to $5,444,674 as of June 30, 2015.

Working Capital

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had working capital of $24,861,325 compared to working capital deficit of ($30,801,730) as of December 31, 2015.

39

The Company’s cash is used to finance the purchases of inventory, payments for advances from suppliers, and restricted cash as requirements for our financing services operation, lines of credit related to financing services and short-term borrowings. As of June 30, 2016, the increase of working capital was primarily attributable to net cash received of approximately $21.9 million and the relief of the payable related to the Zhonghe acquisition of approximately $36.8 million.

The Company has aggregate outstanding balance of lines of credit related to financing services of $60,660,883 and $73,004,179 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and outstanding balances of short-term borrowings of $14,149,381 and $67,290,734 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In addition, we had a bank overdraft with a balance of $0 and $2,131,009 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

We aim to continue to improve the level of our working capital through increased net profits and cash flow and efficiently controlling costs. The Company previously adopted measures to lower holding costs of inventories and continues to develop and maintain good relationships with banks for favorable financing terms.

Indebtedness

We have entered into several banking facilities with Agricultural Bank of China, PuDong Development Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China ZheShang Bank, China Minsheng Bank, Shengjing Bank and Tianjin Binhai Rural Commercial Bank. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had aggregate credit lines of approximately $125 million (RMB833 million) and $166 million (RMB1.08 billion), respectively, and had outstanding balances under these credit lines amounted to approximately $61 million and $73 million, respectively. As of August 12, 2016, the Company had aggregate credit lines of approximately $125 million (RMB833 million) with its banks.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $14,149,381 and $67,290,734, respectively, related to certain short-term loan agreements with Agricultural Bank of China, China Zheshang Bank, and Tianjin Binhai Rural Commercial Bank. These loans carried interest at rates ranging from 4.35% to 4.79% per annum and maturity dates between six months to one year from the original loan agreement dates. These loans were used for our working capital. We continue to take advantage of the low interest rate environment and our excellent relationships with the major banks to secure loans at attractive terms. In order to expand our revenues on Sales of Automobiles, we are required to have a significant amount of working capital since our suppliers require deposits for orders. As we continue to see growth in our automobile sales business, we expect to continue to use short term loans to finance our business expansion.

We had an overdraft of $0 and $2,131,009 with Pudong Development Bank as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% equity interest in Zhonghe to Huitong for approximately $62.8 million and entered into an agreement to transfer the outstanding payable balance related to the Zhonghe acqusition of approximately $36.8 million to Huitong. We received a net cash proceed of approximately $21.9 million (net of payable to Zhonghe of approximately $4.1 million).

We believe that the level of financial resources is a significant factor for our future development and accordingly, we may determine from time to time to raise capital through private debt or equity financings to strengthen the Company’s financial position, to expand our facilities and to provide us with additional flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising such additional capital on terms acceptable to us.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

A.      Material Weaknesses

As discussed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, we identified a material weakness in the design and operation of our internal controls. The material weakness is: the Company’s accounting department personnel have limited knowledge and experience in US GAAP.

To remediate the material weakness identified in internal control over financial reporting of the Company, we have commenced to: (a) continue our efforts to recruit additional personnel with sufficient knowledge and experience in US GAAP; and (b) continue our efforts to provide ongoing training courses in US GAAP to existing personnel, including our Chief Financial Officer and the Financial Controller.

We will continue to monitor and assess our remediation initiatives to ensure that the aforementioned material weakness stated is remediated.

B.      Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation and solely due to the unremediated material weakness described above, the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the purpose for which they were designed as of the end of such period. As a result of this conclusion, the financial statements for the period covered by this report were prepared with particular attention to the unremediated material weaknesses previously disclosed. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S, notwithstanding the unremediated weaknesses.

C.      Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that was identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, Going Concern, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, Going Concern, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(1) Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, Going Concern, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “China Auto”) operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ever Auspicious International Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“HKCo.”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tianjin Seashore New District Shisheng Business Trading Group Co. Ltd. (“Shisheng”), a company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Shisheng’s wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, Tianjin Ganghui Information Technology Corp. (“Ganghui”), and Tianjin Hengjia Port Logistics Corp. (“Hengjia”).

The Company’s principal businesses include (i) sales of imported automobiles, (ii) financing services related to imported automobiles, and (iii) other services including automobile information websites and advertising services, and logistics services related to the automobile importing process and other automobile value added services, such as assistance with customs clearance, storage and nationwide delivery services.

On June 1, 2016, Shisheng entered into (i) an Equity Transfer Agreement (“Equity Transfer Agreement”) with Wuxi Huitong Automobile Sales and Service Co., Ltd. (“Huitong”) to sell 100% of the equity of Tianjin Zhonghe Automobile Sales and Service Co., Ltd. (“Zhonghe”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company prior to this transaction, and (ii) a Debt Transfer Agreement, dated June 1, 2016, by and among Shisheng, Huitong, and Hezhong (Tianjin) International Development Co., Ltd. (“Hezhong”) (the “Debt Transfer Agreement”). Zhonghe owns and operates the Airport International Automall located in the Tianjin Airport Economic Area and owns 40% of Tianjin Car King Used Car Trading Company Ltd. (“Car King Tianjin”). Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company relinquished ownership of the Airport International Automall property and its 40% of Car King Tianjin. As a result, the Airport Automall Automotive Services business has been discontinued.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations and the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of China Auto as of June 30, 2016 and the results of its operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Going Concern

The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and may continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan for 2016. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing efforts to execute its business plan will be successful and that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $477,875 and $469,783 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $665,397 and $1,132,864 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,221,910 and net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $49,291,987 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% equity interest in Zhonghe to Huitong for approximately $62.8 million and entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement which transferred the outstanding payable balance related to the Zhonghe acquisition of approximately $36.8 million to Huitong. The Company received a net cash proceed of approximately $21.9 million (net of payable to Zhonghe of approximately $4.1 million). The Company expects to use the cash proceeds for working capital.

The Company does not currently have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain its operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s plan continues to be to develop new customer relationships and substantially increase our cash flows from operations and revenue derived from our products/services. If the Company’s revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, the Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the collectibility of accounts receivable, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Auto and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% of the equity interest in Zhonghe. Accordingly, Zhonghe’s operating results have been consolidated with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements through May 31, 2016.

Currency Reporting

The Company’s operations in the PRC use the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currency, whereas amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures are stated in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company, unless stated otherwise. As such, the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the condensed consolidated statements of income have been translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized.

The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in determining other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s main source of income was generated through (1) sales of automobiles, (2) service fees for assisting customers to get bank financing on purchases of automobiles, (3) web-based advertising services including fees from (i) displaying graphical advertisements on the Company websites and (ii) web-based listing services that allow customers to place automobile related information on the Company’s websites, and (4) automobile value added services.

The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred upon shipment or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes sales of automobiles upon delivery and acceptance by the customers and where collectibility is reasonably assured.

Service revenue related to financing services is recognized ratably over the financing period.

Service fees for graphical advertisements on the Company’s websites are charged on a fixed fee basis. The Company recognizes the advertising revenue when the service is performed over the service term. The Company charges a monthly fee for listing services and recognizes the revenue when services are performed. The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (i) subscription exemption, (ii) discounted prices and (iii) free advertisements. The Company classifies sales incentives as a reduction of net revenues. Revenues, net of discounts and allowances, are recognized ratably over the service periods.

The Company recognizes revenue from automobile value added services when such services are performed.

Value added taxes (“VAT”) represent amounts collected on behalf of specific regulatory agencies that require remittance by a specified date. These amounts are collected at the time of sales and are detailed on invoices provided to customers. The Company accounts for VAT on a net basis. The Company recorded and paid business taxes based on a percentage of the net service revenues and reported the service revenue net of the business taxes and other sales related taxes.

Receivables Related to Financing Services

The Company records receivables related to financing services when cash is loaned to customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayment by customers, the Company records the amounts as reductions of receivables related to financing services. Receivables related to financing services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles and are considered receivables held for investment. The Company charges a fee for providing loan services and such fees are prepaid by customers. The Company amortizes these fees over the receivable term, which is typically 90 days, using the straight-line method. The Company records such amortized amounts as financing fee income and the unamortized amount is classified as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company evaluates the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and makes estimates for potential credit losses. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company experienced difficulties in collecting the receivable from a financing service customer, but the receivable was secured by certain imported automobiles. The Company took possession of these secured automobiles and sold them during the year ended December 31, 2015. The sales proceeds were used to offset the outstanding receivable from this customer. The Company will continue to pursue collecting the remaining receivable balance. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an allowance for uncollectible account on receivable related to financing services in the amount of $2,942,770 and $3,081,331, respectively.

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market (net realizable). We continually evaluate the composition of our inventory, assessing slow-moving and ongoing products. Our products are comprised of the purchase cost of automobiles which declines in value over time. We continuously evaluate our inventory to determine the reserve amount for slow-moving inventory. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no reserve for obsolescence.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents, therefore, the basic earnings (loss) per share is the same as the diluted earnings (loss) per share.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance.  The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted as of one year prior to the current effective date. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard 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 of issuance of the entity's financial statements. Additionally, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Under ASU 2015-17, a reporting entity is required to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Current guidance requiring the offsetting of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a tax-paying component of an entity and presentation as a single noncurrent amount is not affected. The standard is effective for public entities for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Entities may apply the update prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively for all periods presented. The effects of this update on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not expected to be material.

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-01 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company is not aware of any recently issued accounting pronouncements that, when adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Sale of Zhonghe [Abstract]

Sale of Zhonghe

(2) Sale of Zhonghe

On June 1, 2016, Shisheng entered into (i) an Equity Transfer Agreement with Huitong to sell 100% of the equity of Zhonghe, and (ii) a Debt Transfer Agreement, by and among Shisheng, Huitong, and Hezhong. Zhonghe owns and operates the Airport International Automall located in the Tianjin Airport Economic Area and owns 40% of Car King Tianjin.

Under the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the sale price for the Zhonghe equity was approximately $62.8 million (RMB 410,000,000). The sale price was payable in two parts: (i) Huitong paid Shisheng approximately $26 million (RMB 169,938,192) in cash and (ii) under the terms of the Debt Transfer Agreement, Huitong assumed Shisheng’s outstanding payment obligations to Hezhong of $36.8 million (RMB 240,061,808) under the Equity Transfer Agreement, dated November 30, 2013, by and between Hezhong and Shisheng. Upon signing, Shisheng transferred control of Zhonghe to Huitong. Failure by either party to fulfill their obligations under the Debt Transfer Agreement may result in the termination of the Equity Transfer Agreement, as well as a penalty of 10% of the total transfer price.

Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company relinquished ownership of the Airport International Automall property and its 40% ownership of Car King Tianjin.

Zhonghe operated in two segments, Sales of Automobiles and Airport Automall Automotive Services. As a result of the sale of Zhonghe, the airport automall automotive services unit has been discontinued. The details of the net assets sold by segments are shown below:

The disposal of Zhonghe and its Sales of Automobiles division is not considered a strategic shift on the Company’s Sales of Automobiles as such disposal does not impact any of the geographic coverage, line of business or any other divisions or operations of the Company. Therefore the Company concluded that the disposal of Zhonghe’s Sales of Automobiles division should not be classified as discontinued operations.

The Airport Automall Automotive Services unit was comprised of two sectors including (1) the rental of the airport automall and (2) the joint venture investment in Car King Used Cars. Huitong obtained control of Zhonghe on June 1, 2016. After the completion of the disposal, the Company is no longer involved with the rental or used car business and has no continuing cash inflows or outflows from this unit. The disposal of the Airport Automall Automotive Services unit has a material impact on the Company’s cash flow and operating results. Therefore the Company concluded that the disposal of the Airport Auto Mall Automotive Services unit should be classified as discontinued operations.

The loss from discontinued operations presented in the condensed statements of operations consists of the following for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

(11) Retained earnings

According to the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Wholly-Owned Foreign Investment, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are required to make appropriations from after-tax profits as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) to nondistributable 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 stockholder, 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s statutory reserve fund was approximately $2,644,000 and $2,126,000, respectively.

Ms. Cheng Weihong (the Senior Vice President and Chairwoman of Shisheng and wife of China Auto’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tong Shiping) made non-interest bearing loans to the Company from time to time to meet working capital needs of the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company made aggregate borrowings from Ms. Cheng Weihong of $384,826 and $389,120, respectively, and made repayments of $0 and $244,990 to Ms. Cheng Weihong. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding balances due to Ms. Cheng Weihong were $1,157,071 and $722,028, respectively.

The Company’s former shareholder, Sino Peace Limited (“Sino Peace”), paid certain accrued expenses in the previous years on behalf of the Company. The amounts of $2,045,070 and $2,093,182 were outstanding as payable related to prior years’ professional fees on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In January 2015, the Company received notification from an individual who claimed to be the owner of St. George International Limited ("St. George") and made a claim that the debt owed to Sino Peace by the Company had been transferred to St. George.  However, the Company neither received any evidence to support such assignment nor any notification from the owner of Sino Peace that Sino Peace was transferring its legal right of collecting the receivable from the Company to St. George. The Company has been unable to locate the owner of Sino Peace to confirm such transfer and therefore considers such claim by St. George legally nonbinding at this time.

The balances as discussed above as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are interest-free, unsecured and have no fixed term of repayment. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there was no imputed interest charged in relation to these balances.

Mr. Tong Shiping and Ms. Cheng Weihong personally guarantee borrowings on various lines of credit related to our financing services and short-term borrowings.

Segment Information

(13) Segment Information

The Company has three principal operating segments: (1) sales of automobiles, (2) financing services, and (3) other services. These operating segments were determined based on the nature of the services offered. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer have been identified as the chief operating decision makers. The Company’s chief operating decision makers direct the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability and cash flows of each respective segment. On June 1, 2016, the Company disposed the Airport Automall Automotive Services business unit as a result of the sale of Zhonghe. The operating results of the airport auto mall services business are classified as discontinued operations.

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, including net revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses, and income from operations. The following tables show the continuing operations of the Company’s operating segments:

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, Going Concern, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation, Going Concern, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Going Concern

Going Concern

The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and may continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan for 2016. There can be no assurance that the Company’s continuing efforts to execute its business plan will be successful and that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders was $477,875 and $469,783 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $665,397 and $1,132,864 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,221,910 and net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $49,291,987 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% equity interest in Zhonghe to Huitong for approximately $62.8 million and entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement which transferred the outstanding payable balance related to the Zhonghe acquisition of approximately $36.8 million to Huitong. The Company received a net cash proceed of approximately $21.9 million (net of payable to Zhonghe of approximately $4.1 million). The Company expects to use the cash proceeds for working capital.

The Company does not currently have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain its operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s plan continues to be to develop new customer relationships and substantially increase our cash flows from operations and revenue derived from our products/services. If the Company’s revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, the Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the collectibility of accounts receivable, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China Auto and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. On June 1, 2016, the Company sold 100% of the equity interest in Zhonghe. Accordingly, Zhonghe’s operating results have been consolidated with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements through May 31, 2016.

Currency Reporting

Currency Reporting

The Company’s operations in the PRC use the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currency, whereas amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures are stated in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company, unless stated otherwise. As such, the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the condensed consolidated statements of income have been translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average rates during the periods the transactions were recognized.

The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in determining other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s main source of income was generated through (1) sales of automobiles, (2) service fees for assisting customers to get bank financing on purchases of automobiles, (3) web-based advertising services including fees from (i) displaying graphical advertisements on the Company websites and (ii) web-based listing services that allow customers to place automobile related information on the Company’s websites, and (4) automobile value added services.

The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred upon shipment or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes sales of automobiles upon delivery and acceptance by the customers and where collectibility is reasonably assured.

Service revenue related to financing services is recognized ratably over the financing period.

Service fees for graphical advertisements on the Company’s websites are charged on a fixed fee basis. The Company recognizes the advertising revenue when the service is performed over the service term. The Company charges a monthly fee for listing services and recognizes the revenue when services are performed. The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (i) subscription exemption, (ii) discounted prices and (iii) free advertisements. The Company classifies sales incentives as a reduction of net revenues. Revenues, net of discounts and allowances, are recognized ratably over the service periods.

The Company recognizes revenue from automobile value added services when such services are performed.

Value added taxes (“VAT”) represent amounts collected on behalf of specific regulatory agencies that require remittance by a specified date. These amounts are collected at the time of sales and are detailed on invoices provided to customers. The Company accounts for VAT on a net basis. The Company recorded and paid business taxes based on a percentage of the net service revenues and reported the service revenue net of the business taxes and other sales related taxes.

Receivables related to financing services

Receivables Related to Financing Services

The Company records receivables related to financing services when cash is loaned to customers to finance their purchases of automobiles. Upon repayment by customers, the Company records the amounts as reductions of receivables related to financing services. Receivables related to financing services represent the aggregate outstanding balance of loans from customers related to their purchases of automobiles and are considered receivables held for investment. The Company charges a fee for providing loan services and such fees are prepaid by customers. The Company amortizes these fees over the receivable term, which is typically 90 days, using the straight-line method. The Company records such amortized amounts as financing fee income and the unamortized amount is classified as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company evaluates the collectibility of outstanding receivables at the end of each of the reporting periods and makes estimates for potential credit losses. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company experienced difficulties in collecting the receivable from a financing service customer, but the receivable was secured by certain imported automobiles. The Company took possession of these secured automobiles and sold them during the year ended December 31, 2015. The sales proceeds were used to offset the outstanding receivable from this customer. The Company will continue to pursue collecting the remaining receivable balance. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an allowance for uncollectible account on receivable related to financing services in the amount of $2,942,770 and $3,081,331, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market (net realizable). We continually evaluate the composition of our inventory, assessing slow-moving and ongoing products. Our products are comprised of the purchase cost of automobiles which declines in value over time. We continuously evaluate our inventory to determine the reserve amount for slow-moving inventory. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no reserve for obsolescence.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents, therefore, the basic earnings (loss) per share is the same as the diluted earnings (loss) per share.

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance.  The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted as of one year prior to the current effective date. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard 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 of issuance of the entity's financial statements. Additionally, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Under ASU 2015-17, a reporting entity is required to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Current guidance requiring the offsetting of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a tax-paying component of an entity and presentation as a single noncurrent amount is not affected. The standard is effective for public entities for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Entities may apply the update prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively for all periods presented. The effects of this update on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not expected to be material.

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-01 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company is not aware of any recently issued accounting pronouncements that, when adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
