CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance. Some discussions in this report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty.
A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this report. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. In some cases, you can also identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2019, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, without limitation:
| ● | our ability to generate revenue and profit; | |
| ● | our ability to market our synthetic fuel and related products to more customers; | |
| ● | our ability to identify and acquire access to additional facilities suitable for production of our synthetic fuel and related products; |
| ● | The effect that changes of government regulations affecting fossil fuel and renewable energy have on the solar power and synthetic fuel industry; | |
| ● | future demand for solar energy solutions; | |
| ● | fluctuations in the market price of petroleum and natural gases; | |
| ● | unexpected delays, operational difficulties, cost-overruns or failures in our production processes; | |
| ● | our ability to effectively design, launch, market, and sell new generations of our products and services; | |
| ● | our ability to manage or expand operations and to fill customers’ orders on time; | |
| ● | the effect of prices of raw materials and components and our ability to source raw materials and components at reasonable prices; | |
| ● | our ability to maintain adequate control of our expenses as we seek to grow; | |
| ● | our ability to establish or protect our intellectual property; | |
| ● | the impact of significant government regulation in China; | |
| ● | our ability to implement marketing and sales strategies and adapt and modify them as needed; and | |
| ● | our implementation of required financial, accounting and disclosure controls and procedures and related corporate governance policies. |
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
The cautions outlined made in this statement and elsewhere in this document should not be construed as complete or exhaustive. In many cases, we cannot predict factors which could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Additionally, many items or factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control. We will not undertake an obligation to further update or change any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies
Going concern
In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors
and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to
meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing from related parties
have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Company and acquisitions of businesses. As of April 30, 2020,
the Company’s working deficit was approximately $
The Company’s management has considered whether there is a going concern issue due to the Company’s recurring losses from operations. Management has determined there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to generate significant revenue, the Company may be required to cease or curtail its operations. Management is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the following sources:
| ● | the Company will continuously seek equity financing to support its working capital; | |
| ● | other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions; | |
| ● | financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s related parties. |

Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows, as applicable, have been made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s July 31, 2019 annual report on Form 10-K filed on October 15, 2019.
Principles of consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs for which the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary and the VIEs’ subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated cost used to calculate the percentage of completion recognized in the Company’s revenues, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, right-of-use assets, lease classification and liabilities, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for other accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of the assets and the liabilities of the entities acquired through its business combination, valuation of warranty reserves, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Variable interest entities
On September 30, 2018, Xiangtian Shenzhen terminated the VIE Agreements as part of its restructuring to facilitate the shift of business focus between entities controlled by the Company. After the restructuring, the Company’s headquarter is now located in the city of Xianning, Hubei Province, and Sanhe Xiangtian, the Company’s previous headquarters, located in the city of Sanhe, Hebei Province, has become the Company’s sales office. The VIE Agreements include the following:

| ● | Powers of Attorney of the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders dated July 25, 2014. |
In connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, on September 30, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian transferred its 100% equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders and the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders transferred their 100% equity interest of Sanhe Xiangtian to Xianning Xiangtian. As a result of the foregoing equity transfers, Sanhe Xiangtian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xianning Xiangtian.
On the same day, the Company, through Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, entered into the New VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Xianning Xiangtian became the Company’s new contractually controlled affiliate.
The principal terms of the New VIE Agreements entered into among Xianning Xiangtian and Xiangtian Shenzhen, the primary beneficiary, are described below:

Xiangtian Shenzhen possesses the rights licensed under this agreement through two license agreements dated September 30, 2018 with Fei Wang, Zhou Jian and Xianning Lucksky Aerodynamic Electricity (“Xianning Lucksky”), the owners of the aforesaid patents and technologies. For the sublicense contemplated under this agreement, Xianning Xiangtian will pay Xiangtian Shenzhen a quarterly royalty fee of five percent of revenue. For the nine months ended April 30, 2020, the quarterly royalty fee was waived by Xiangtian Shenzhen; and |
| ● | Power of Attorney. Pursuant to a power of attorney, each of the Xianning Xiangtian stockholders agreed to irrevocably entrust Xiangtian Shenzhen with the stockholder voting rights and other stockholder rights for representing them to exercise such rights at the stockholders’ meeting of Xianning Xiangtian in accordance with applicable laws and its Article of Association, including, but not limited to, the right to sell or transfer all or any of their equity interest in Xianning Xiangtian, and appoint and vote for the directors and Chairman of Xianning Xiangtian as the authorized representative of the Xianning Xiangtian stockholders.

In addition, in the event that any of the spouses obtains any equity interest in Xianning Xiangtian held by her respective spouse for any reason, such spouse agrees to enter into similar contractual arrangements. |
The Framework Agreement and the Exclusive Management Agreement have initial terms of ten years but each contains a renewal provision that allows Xiangtian Shenzhen to extend the term of such agreements at its sole option by written notice with no limitation as to such extensions. The Know-How Sub-License Agreement is valid for the duration of Xianning Xiangtian’s operation. The other agreements are of unlimited duration.
The Company’s total assets and liabilities presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent substantially all of total assets and liabilities of the VIE because the other entities in the consolidation are non-operating holding entities with nominal assets and liabilities.

Business Combinations
The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.
Cash
Cash
denominated in RMB with a U.S. dollar equivalent of $
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash held by banks as guarantee deposit collateralizing notes payable pending release back to unrestricted cash upon completion of administrative process.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis.
Short-term Investment
Short-term investment consists of time deposit placed with a bank, which contains a fixed or variable interest rate and has original maturity within one year. Such investment is permitted to be redeemed early without penalties prior to maturity. Given the short-term nature, the carrying value of short-term investment approximates its fair value. The Company does not intend to withdraw early. There was no other-than-temporary impairment of short-term investment for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable represents commercial notes due from various customers where the customers’ banks have guaranteed the payments. The notes are noninterest bearing and normally paid within three to six months. The Company has the ability to submit requests for payments to the customer’s banks earlier than the scheduled payments date, but will incur an interest charge and a processing fee.
14
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivables, net, are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debts determined by management are based on historical experience as well as the current economic climate and are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
Inventories, net
Inventories, net, consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. When appropriate, impairment to inventories are recorded to write down the cost of inventories to their net realizable value.
Advances to Suppliers
Contract Assets
The differences between the timing of the Company’s revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on unconditional rights to receive the consideration in the contractual terms) results in changes to the Company’s contract asset or contract liability positions. Provisions for estimated losses of contract assets on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses represent advance payments made to vendors for services such as rent, internet, consulting, maintenance and certification.
Other Receivables, net
Other
receivables, net primarily include advances to employees, receivables from sales of equipment, and other deposits. Management
regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection
of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection
are made. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $
15
Other Receivables – Related Parties
Other receivables – related parties present advances to the management of the Company for business development and travel advances.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service. Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets’ estimated residual value:
| Classification | Estimated Useful Life | Estimated Residual Value | ||||
| Plant and buildings | ||||||
| Machinery equipment | ||||||
| Computer and office equipment | ||||||
| Vehicles | ||||||
| Plant improvement and fixtures | Shorter of lease term or estimated useful live of |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized.
Construction-in-progress represents contractor and labor costs, design fees and inspection fees in connection with the construction of the Company’s synthetic fuel raw materials production line, factory plantation and fire safety equipment installation. No depreciation is provided for construction-in-progress until it is completed and placed into service.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets, net, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Classification | Estimated Useful Life | |
| Land use rights | ||
| Technology know-hows | ||
| Patents, licenses and certifications | ||
| Software |
Technology know-hows, including LSC Hand-Held Diesel Pump, CB-39 Motor Oil Pump, 0-16 MPa series hydraulic cylinder, brake cylinder and hydraulic value, and certain special operating and production licenses were acquired through the acquisition of Hubei Jinli and Tianjin Jiabaili in June 2018 with estimated finite useful lives between 4.5 years to 10 years.
Certain PV panel certifications were contributed by the Company’s noncontrolling interest shareholders as capital contribution in March 2018 with an estimated finite useful lives of 10 years.
The Company also acquired a safety production license and an accounting software with a finite useful life of 3 years in June 2018 and January 2019, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
16
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. The Company has the option to access qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step in accordance with ASC 350-20. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative carrying amount, the two-step quantities impairment test described below is required.
The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required.
If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business acquisition with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow.
If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, no impairment of goodwill was recognized.
Impairment for Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including plant and equipment and intangible with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.
For
the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020, an impairment of $
For
the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020, an impairment of $
Subscription Receivable
Subscription receivable represents unpaid capital contribution from its shareholders.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
17
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
| ● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. | |
| ● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2019:

The
Company believes the carrying amount reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash, restricted cash,
notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advance to suppliers, contract assets, prepaid expenses, other receivables,
short-term loans, accounts payable, advances from customers, other payables and accrued liabilities, tax payables and short-term
investment payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying amount of long-term
investment payable reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair
value as the rate of amortization of investment payment discount used were similar to interest rate charged by the bank in the
PRC. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, long-term investment payable balance was $

Leases
Effective
August 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does
not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for
any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months
or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company
also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease
component. On August 1, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $
Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date of August 1, 2019 or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
Discontinued operations
In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meet the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E to be classified as discontinued operations. When all of the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations are met, including management having the authority to approve the action and committing to a plan to sell the entity, the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from the balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations in accordance with ASC 205-20-45. See Note 4 – Discontinued operations.
Revenue Recognition
On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of July 31, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.
19
The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized over time for the Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems and are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of products.
The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
Sale and installation of power generation systems
Sales of power generation systems in conjunction of system installation are generally recognized based on the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, which was essentially the same as the percentage of completion method prior to August 1, 2018 for its installation project. Therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet completed. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that costs expended to date bear to anticipated final total costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. Adjustments to the original estimates of the total contract revenue, total contract costs, or the extent of progress toward completion are often required as work progresses. Such changes and refinements in estimation are reflected in reported results of operations as they occur; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate to the unit material cost, the quantity of materials to be used, the installation cost and those indirect costs related to contract performance. The estimate of unit material cost is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information available in the supply markets. The estimate of material quantity to be used for completion and the installation cost is also reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information on the progress of project execution. If the supply market conditions or the progress of project execution were different, it is likely that materially different amounts of contract costs would be used in the input method of accounting. Thus the uncertainty associated with those estimates may impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Claims for additional contract costs are recognized upon a signed change order from the customer.
If the sales of equipment is combined within the contract of the installation of power generation system with the Company performing significant service of integrating the equipment into the power generation system, the installation revenues and sales of equipment and system component are combined and considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer the equipment and system component and installation are not separately identifiable, which is evidencing by the fact that the Company provides a significant service of integrating the goods and services into a power generation system for which the customer has contracted. The Company currently does not have any modification of contract and the contract currently does not have any variable consideration.
There
was no sale and installation of power generation systems revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s
sale and installation of power generation systems revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 were $

Sales of products
Sales of products includes sales of PV panels, air compression equipment and other components, heat pumps, high-grate synthetic fuel, hydraulic parts and electronic components, wine and herbal wine. When these products are not being integrated into a service contract and being sold individually, the Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon delivery of products. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied and based on when control of goods transfer to a customer, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to August 1, 2018.
The Company’s disaggregate Revenues - sale of products information for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized as follows:

Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting
The Company’s trading segment, Xiangtian Trade, engages in trading of general merchandise, primarily consisting of tealeaves. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on its assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction in accordance with ASC 606-10-55 and depends on whether the promise to the customer is to provide the products or to facilitate a sale by a third party. The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products prior to transferring it. When the Company controls the product, the promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products, the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
In general, the Company does not have the responsibility of fulfilling the promise to provide the products as the products can be returned to its suppliers if its customers do not accept the products. Furthermore, the Company does not control the products as it has no obligation to (i) fulfill the resale products delivery, and (ii) bear any inventory risk. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has such discretion of establishing price to ensure it would generate profit for the services of the products delivery arrangements. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as an agent in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the trading segment is presented on a net basis.
21
Warranty
The
Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company
records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these
warrants are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based
on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate. There were no such reserves recorded for the three and nine months
ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. No right of return exists on sales of inventory. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, accrued
warranty expense amounted to $
Advertising Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs amounted to

Employee Benefit
The
full-time employees of the Company are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, pension benefits,
unemployment insurance and other welfare, which are government mandated defined contribution plans. The Company is required to
accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings,
in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations, and make cash contributions to the state-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued.
Total expenses for the plans were $
Research and development (“R&D”)
Research
and development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses paid to the Company’s research and product
development personnel while they are working on R&D projects, as well as raw materials used for the R&D projects. R&D
expenses amounted to $
Value Added Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. 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. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
22
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. PRC tax returns filed in 2015 to 2019 are subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company follows the provisions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive
income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. The Company had other comprehensive loss of $
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the RMB as substantially all of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ operations use this denomination. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
For
the purpose of presenting these financial statements of subsidiaries in PRC, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed
in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Loss per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.
23
Statutory Reserves
Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC,
PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable statutory surplus reserve fund.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU on August 1, 2019 and determined the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework —Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
24
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on February 1, 2023 assuming the Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under ASC 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ASC 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC 815. With respect to the interactions between ASC 321 and ASC 323, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting when applying the measurement alternative in ASC 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method of accounting. With respect to forward contracts or purchased options to purchase securities, the amendments clarify that when applying the guidance in ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
If applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other Income (Expense)” in the statement of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and Administrative Expenses” in the statement of operations. The Company stayed current and filed its July 31, 2019 before the deadline. No interest or penalty on unpaid tax was recorded during both the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next quarter.

The majority of these claims and proceedings related to or arise from, being guarantor of a third party and employment contract dispute.

In determining whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is possible to estimate the potential litigation losses, in those situations, the Company discloses an estimate of the probable losses or a range of possible losses, if such estimates can be made.
As of April 30, 2020, the type of complaints and disputes and their potential claims that the Company does not accrue costs for potential litigation losses as the probability of repaying these claims are remote. These potential claims are summarized as follows:

Shimen Government Inquiry
On June 10, 2019, Xianning Xiangtian received an inquiry from Shimen County Market Supervision Bureau (the “Bureau”) with respect to a formal investigation it initiated against Xianning Xiangtian on May 10, 2019. The Bureau stated it is investigating that Xianning Xiangtian was selling its shares to the public in anticipation of a Nasdaq listing in the near future as part of a multi-level marketing scheme. On June 14, 2019, Xianning Xiangtian issued a Letter of Statement in response to the inquiry and stated Xianning Xiangtian never issued any shares to the unspecified public since its incorporation and that all of the Company’s shares are registered with the Company’s Transfer Agent. Following Xianning Xiangtian’s delivery of its Letter of Statement, it has not received any further inquiries from the Bureau. After the Bureau’s investigation, it has reached an administrative penalty decision to another business entity with similar name and confirmed that Xianning Xiangtian has no relation with the penalized business entity.
Variable interest entity structure
In the opinion of management, (i) the corporate structure of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the New VIE Agreements are valid and binding, and do not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the business operations of Xiangtian Shenzhen and the VIE are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.
However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to the foregoing opinion of its management. If the current corporate structure of the Company or the New VIE Agreements is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its corporate structure and operations in the PRC to comply with changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current corporate structure or the New VIE Agreements is remote based on current facts and circumstances.
Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, surfaced and it has spread rapidly to many parts of China and other parts of the world, including the United States. The epidemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in China and elsewhere. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is concentrated in China. Consequently, the COVID-19 outbreak may materially adversely affect the Company’s business operations, financial condition and operating results for 2020, including but not limited to material negative impact on the Company’s total revenues, slower collection of accounts receivables and additional allowance for doubtful accounts, slower usage of inventories and additional allowance for inventories obsolescence. The Company has resume its operation in April 2020. Because of the significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the extent of the business disruption and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As of the date of this report, the Company’s operation has been adversely affected which resulted in significant decrease in quarter ended April 30, 2020 as well as May and June of 2020 compared with the same periods of prior year. There is no guarantee that the Company’s revenues will grow or remain at a similar level year over year in the remainder of 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) filed with SEC. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our financial statements and the financial information included in this report reflect our organizational transactions and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods.
Overview
We are engaged in a variety of energy-related businesses through our subsidiaries and controlled entities in China. One of the businesses is in the field of compressed air energy storage in China and produces electricity generation systems that combine its compressed air storage technology with photovoltaic (“PV”) panels to achieve a continuous supply of power under weather conditions that are unfavorable to the generation of electricity from PV panels alone. The sales and installation of power generation systems and PV systems and the sales of PV panels, air compression equipment and heat pump products have been carried out through the Company’s variable interest entities (“VIEs”), formerly Sanhe Luck Sky Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Sanhe Xiangtian”) and currently Xianning Xiangtian Energy Holding Group Co. Ltd. (“Xianning Xiangtian”), formerly known as Xianning Sanhe Power Equipment Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
In March 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed Xiangtian Zhongdian (Hubei) New Energy Co. Ltd. (“Xiangtian Zhongdian”), a joint venture in China, in which Xianning Xiangtian holds a 70% ownership interest with the remaining 30% ownership held by Nanjing Zhongdian Photovoltaic Co. Ltd. Xiangtian Zhongdian is in the business of manufacturing and sales of PV panels.
In April 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Jingshan Sanhe Xiangtian New Energy Technology Co. Ltd. (“Jingshan Sanhe”), which is engaged in the business of researching, manufacturing and sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products.
In June 2018, Xianning Xiangtian acquired Hubei Jinli Hydraulic Co., Ltd. (“Hubei Jinli”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of hydraulic parts and electronic components, and acquired Tianjin Jiabaili Petroleum Products Co. Ltd. (“Tianjin Jiabaili”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of petroleum products (Note 3 – Business combinations). In August 2018, Xianning Xiangtian formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Xianning Xiangtian Trade Co. Ltd. (“Xiangtian Trade”), which engaged in trading general merchandise.
In December 2018, Xianning Xiangtian acquired Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. (“Wine Co.”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of wine, and acquired Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd. (“Herbal Wine Co.”), which is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of herbal wine products.
In September and October 2018, January 2019 and March 2019, Mr. Jian Zhou, our former Chairman and current principal shareholder as well as a shareholder of Xianning Xiangtian, and Zhou Deng Rong, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and director, injected an aggregate of RMB 209,260,000 (approximately $30.8 million) as capital contribution to Xianning Xiangtian.
On November 5, 2018, we changed our name to XT Energy Group, Inc. through a merger with and into our newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of affecting the name change.
On May 24, 2019, our Board of Directors (the “Board”), discussed a plan to pursue the potential sale of all its ownership interest in Herbal Wine Co. and Wine Co. in order to shift its business focus on its energy related business.
On December 16, 2019, the board of directors of Xiangtian Zhongdian made a decision to suspend its current operations temporally and will further make determination on its future sales plan of PV Panels in Xiangtian Zhongdian. In May, 2020, we acquired the remaining 30% ownership held by Nanjing Zhongdian Photovoltaic Co. Ltd. in Xiangtian Zhongdian and Xiangtian Zhongdian became our wholly owned subsidiary. However, our sales from PV panels are expected to decrease as compared to the prior period due to the non-controlling shareholder in Xiangtian Zhongdian having retained their marketing team and left Xiangtian Zhongdian. We are starting to develop our own PV panels market with our internal marketing sources. Our PV panels operations is expected to resume back to the normal level once we developed our own PV panels market.

On January 6, 2020, we entered into an equity transfer agreement with Kairui Tong and Hao Huang (the “Buyers”), which we agreed to sell its 90% ownership in Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. to the Buyers for approximately $9.6 million (RMB 67.5 million), of which, 54% ownership are sold to Kairui Tong, the legal representative and general manager of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co, and 36% ownership are sold to Hao Huang, an unrelated third party. The result of operations of Rongentang was presented as discontinued operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On May 1, 2020, we acquired the remaining 30% ownership held by Nanjing Zhongdian Photovoltaic Co. Ltd. in Xiangtian Zhongdian and Xiangtian Zhongdian became our wholly owned subsidiary.
On June 28, 2020, we entered into two equity transfer agreements with Xubin Zhang and Jian Zheng (the “Buyers”), which we agreed to sell its 100% ownership in Hubei Jinli to the Buyers for approximately $21.3 million (RMB 150.0 million), of which, 60% ownership are sold to Xubin Zhang, an unrelated third party, and 40% ownership are sold to Jian Zheng, an unrelated third party. The result of operations of Hubei Jinli was presented as discontinued operations for three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On June 29, 2020, we entered into two equity transfer agreements with Xue Wang and Chao Feng (the “Buyers”), which we agreed to sell its 100% ownership in Jingshan Sanhe to the Buyers for approximately $4.3 million (RMB 30.0 million), of which, 60% ownership are sold to Xue Wang, an unrelated third party, and 40% ownership are sold to Chao Feng, an unrelated third party. The result of operations of Jingshan Sanhe was presented as discontinued operations for three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reorganization
On September 30, 2018, Xiangtian Shenzhen terminated its variable interest entity agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) as part of its restructuring to facilitate the shift of business focus between entities controlled by the Company. After the restructuring, the Company’s headquarter is located in the city of Xianning, Hubei Province, and Sanhe Xiangtian, the Company’s previous headquarter, located in the city of Sanhe, Hebei Province, is restructured as our sales office. The VIE Agreements include the following:
| ● | Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian; |
| ● | Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian; |
| ● | Exclusive Option Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Sanhe Xiangtian and all the shareholders of Sanhe Xiangtian (“Shanhe Xiangtian Shareholders”); |
| ● | Equity Pledge Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Sanhe Xiangtian and the Shanhe Xiangtian Shareholders; |
| ● | Know-How Sub-License Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, by and between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Sanhe Xiangtian; and |
| ● | Powers of Attorney of the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders dated July 25, 2014. |
In connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, on September 30, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian transferred its 100% equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders and the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders transferred their 100% equity interest of Sanhe Xiangtian to Xianning Xiangtian. As a result of the foregoing equity transfers, Sanhe Xiangtian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xianning Xiangtian.
On the same day, the Company, through Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, entered into a new series of variable interest entity agreements (“New VIE Agreements”), pursuant to which Xianning Xiangtian became the Company’s new contractually controlled affiliate. The New VIE Agreements allow us to:
| ● | exercise effective control over Xianning Xiangtian; |
| ● | receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Xianning Xiangtian; and |
| ● | have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Xianning Xiangtian when and to the extent permitted by the laws of the PRC. |
The New VIE Agreements include the following:
| ● | Framework Agreement on Business Cooperation, entered between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xianning Xiangtian. |
| ● | Agreement of Exclusive Management, Consulting and Training and Technical Service, entered between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xianning Xiangtian,. |
| ● | Exclusive Option Agreement, entered among Xiangtian HK, Xiangtian Shenzhen, Fei Wang, Zhou Jian and Xianning Xiangtian, |
| ● | Equity Pledge Agreement, entered among Xiangtian Shenzhen, Fei Wang, Zhou Jian, and Xianning Xiangtian,. |
| ● | Know-How Sub-License Agreement, entered between Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xianning Xiangtian, pursuant to which Xiangtian Shenzhen; and |
| ● | Powers of Attorney of the Xianning Xiangtian stockholders. |
| ● | Spousal Consent Letters of each of the spouses of the Xianning Xiangtian Shareholders |
52
As a result of the New VIE Agreements, we have become the primary beneficiary of Xianning Xiangtian, and it treats Xianning Xiangtian as its variable interest entity under U.S. GAAP. We will continue to consolidate the financial results of Xianning Xiangtian in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above reorganization has no effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the current period and thereafter.
Key Factors that Affect Operating Results
Our ability to build our brand and expand our sales distribution channel
We market our products through third-party distributors in China and through employees for direct sales. The distributors sell our products and receive commissions based on the value of the contracts. We utilize three classes of distributors based on the size of their territory – province, city and town. The distributors target factories and power plants, as well as local governments which may encourage local industry to utilize alternative energy sources, for our power generation products. The distributors also target gas stations and automobile repair shops for our synthetic fuel products. Our revenue growth will be affected by our ability to effectively execute our marketing strategies to build our brand and to expand our sales distribution channel through other sources other than through our distributors.
PRC economy
Although the PRC economy has grown in recent years, the pace of growth has slowed, and growth rates may continue to decline. According to the PRC National Bureau of Statistics of China, the annual rate of growth in the PRC declined from 7.6% in 2014, to 7.0% in 2015, 6.8% in 2016, 6.9% in 2017, 6.8% in 2018 and 6.3% in 2019. A further slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn, a recession or other adverse economic development in the PRC may materially reduce the purchasing power of Chinese consumers and thus lead to a decrease in the demand for our products. Such a decrease in demand may have a materially adverse effect on our business.
Seasonality
Our financial results for quarters ended January 31 and April 30 in each year might fluctuate, depending upon the date of the Chinese New Year in the period of which it will fall into as the Chinese New Year normally would fall in between January and February. Immediately before the Chinese New Year, our operating results and revenues tend to be higher as our customers might push us to deliver our products before the Chinese New Year holiday and our operating results and revenues tend to be lower during the month after the Chinese New Year.
In addition, our operating results and revenues in our heat pump product line tend to be higher during the fall and winter seasons and lower during the spring and summer seasons.
Natural disaster or health epidemics
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, surfaced and it has spread rapidly to many parts of China and other parts of the world, including the United States. The epidemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in China and elsewhere. Substantially all of our revenue is concentrated in China. Consequently, the COVID-19 outbreak may materially adversely affect our business operations, financial condition and operating results for 2020. In March 2020, the temporary closure of stores and facilities, or the ‘shelter in place’ order, in China was lifted and many businesses have resumed normal operations. We believe the epidemic may have a short-term negative effect on our business as our revenues has decreased in our three and nine months Ended April 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. However, because of the significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the extent of the business disruption and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time in the long run. There is no guarantee that our total revenues will grow or remain at a similar level in the second half of calendar year of 2020 as compared to 2019.
53
PRC governmental regulations
We are subject to a variety of governmental regulations related to the storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials. The major environmental regulations applicable to us include the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC, the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution and its implementation rules, the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution and its implementation rules, the Law of PRC on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution and the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution and the PRC Law on Appraising Environment Impacts. In addition, under the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC, the Ministry of Environmental Protection sets national pollutant emission standards. However, provincial governments may set stricter local standards, which are required to be registered at the State Administration for Environmental Protection. Enterprises are required to comply with the stricter of the two standards. Unfavorable changes could affect the delivery timing of our services and products that we provide and could materially and adversely affect the results of operations.
In addition, we are subject to a variety of licenses and permits, laws and regulations in the People’s Republic of China related to our operations.
| ● | Safety Production License, according to Regulation on Work Safety Permits (2014), the state applies a work safety licensing system to enterprises engaged in mining, construction, and the production of dangerous chemicals, fireworks and crackers, and civil explosives. |
| ● | Hazardous Chemicals Business License, according to Measures for the Administration of Dangerous Chemicals Business License (2012), the state implements a licensing system for the operation of hazardous chemicals.

| ● | Industrial Product Production License, according to Regulation of the People’s Republic of China on the Production License of Industrial Products (2005), the State implements a production license system for enterprises that produce the industrial products that affect production safety and public safety such as hazardous chemicals. It is prohibited to produce such products listed without obtaining such license. |
| ● | Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) Certificate. A pharmaceutical manufacturer must meet the Good Manufacturing Practice standards for each of its production facilities in China in respect of each form of pharmaceutical product it produces. GMP standards include staff qualifications, production premises and facilities, equipment, raw materials, environmental hygiene, production management, quality control and customer complaint administration. If a manufacturer meets the GMP standards, the CFDA will issue to the manufacturer a GMP certificate with a five-year validity period. |
| ● | Secrecy Qualification, according to Circular 8 issued by the National Defense Science and Technology Bureau of PRC, entities engaged in the research and production of classified weapons and equipment are required to implement a confidentiality qualification examination and certification system and obtain the corresponding Secrecy Qualification. |

Pursuant to the Product Quality Law of China, where a defective product causes physical injury to a person or damage to such person’s property, the victim may claim for damages against the manufacturer or the seller of the product. If the seller pays the damages and it is the manufacturer that should bear the liability, the seller has a right of recourse against the manufacturer. Similarly, if the manufacturer pays damages and it is the seller that should bear the liability, the manufacturer has a right of recourse against the seller. Violations of the Product Quality Law of China could result in various penalties, including the imposition of fines, suspension of business operations, revocation of business licenses and criminal liabilities. |
| ● | Pursuant to the Tort Liability Law of China, which was promulgated by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee on December 30, 2009 and became effective on July 1, 2010, producers are liable for damages caused by defects in their products and sellers are liable for damages attributable to their fault. If the defects are caused by the fault of third parties such as the transporter or storekeeper, producers and sellers have the right to claim for compensation from these third parties after paying the damages. The producers and sellers are obligated to take remedial measures such as issuing warnings or recalling the products in a timely manner if defects are found in products that are in circulation. If a party knowingly manufactured and sold defective products that cause death or severe personal injuries, the injured person has the right to claim punitive damages. |

Continuing Operations
Revenue
Our revenue was derived from the sales of heat pump products for the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Total revenues decreased by $1,044,809 or 81.9%, to $230,459 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 as compared to $1,275,268 for the same period in 2019. The overall decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease of revenue generated from sales of PV panels and other products and heat pump products. See the table below for a detailed analysis of the decrease in our revenue.
Our revenue from our revenue categories is summarized as follows:

Sales of PV panels and others products were $849,720 during the three months ended April 30, 2019, but we did not sell any PV panels and others products during the same period in 2020. The decrease in sales of PV panels and others due to the fact that we did not generate any sales from our PV panels business in Xiangtian Zhongdian. We were operating under certain disagreements with our non-controlling shareholder in Xiangtian Zhongdian, which led to Xiangtian Zhongdian to put the PV panels sales orders on hold. As a result, we did not sell any PV panels and others products during the three months ended April 30, 2020. In May, 2020, we acquired the remaining 30% ownership held by Nanjing Zhongdian Photovoltaic Co. Ltd. in Xiangtian Zhongdian and Xiangtian Zhongdian became our wholly owned subsidiary. However, our sales from PV panels are expected to decrease as compared to the prior period due to the non-controlling shareholder in Xiangtian Zhongdian having retained their marketing team and left Xiangtian Zhongdian. We will start developing our own PV panels market with our internal marketing sources. Our PV panels operations is expected to resume back to the normal level once we developed our own PV panels market.
Sales of heat pumps decreased by $186,687 or 44.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was attributable to the temporary closure of our and our customers’ operations under the influence of COVID-19 during the three months ended April 30, 2020 which resulted in much lesser sales orders in the current period as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was also due to the decrease of selling prices. There were more competitions in the market while we recently did not put a lot of research and development activities to keep up with the latest technology of our heat pumps product to stay competitive, for which we need to lower our selling price to stay competitive.
Sales of high-grade synthetic fuel decreased by $8,402 or 100.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2019, and we did not sell any high-grade synthetic fuel products during the three months ended April 30, 2019 mainly due to significant decrease in sales from Sanhe Xiangtian. Prior to the establishment of Jingshan Sanhe, we sold our high-grade synthetic fuel products in Sanhe Xiangtian. We expected there will be no sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products as our continuing operation because we are no longer expected to sell high-grade synthetic fuel products in Sanhe Xiangtian going forward.

Our gross profit (loss) decreased by $3,249,209, or 2,768.0%, to $(3,131,824) during the three months ended April 30, 2020 from $117,385 for the same period in 2019. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the significant increase in cost of revenue as we provided allowance for aged inventories which attributed to gross loss.
For the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, our overall gross (loss) profit percentage was (1,359.0%) and 9.2%, respectively. The decrease of 1,368.2% was primarily due to the increase in cost of revenue as we provided more allowance for aging inventories due to slow moving of our inventories and the increase of cost of revenue of our heat pump components products.
Gross (loss) profit percentage for our PV panels and others revenue was (100.0)% and 8.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We did not sell any PV panels and others products during the three months ended April 30, 2020 and provided more allowance for aging inventories due to slow moving of our inventories which resulted to the decrease of gross profit percentage.

Gross (loss) profit percentage for heat pumps revenue was (1,165.9%) and 10.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to we provided significant allowance for aged inventories due to slow moving of our inventories and lack of sales as discussed above. In addition, the decrease of gross profit percentage also due to the decrease of selling prices. There were more competitions in the market while we recently did not put a lot of research and development activities to keep up with the latest technology of our heat pumps product to stay competitive, for which we need to lower our selling price to stay competitive.
Gross profit percentage for our high-grade synthetic fuel revenue was 65.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2019. We did not sold any high-grade synthetic fuel products during the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by $392,380 or 42.7% from $919,919 during the three months ended April 30, 2019 to $527,539 during the same period in 2020. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in selling expenses of $89,410 and (ii) the decrease in general and administrative expenses of $481,573. This decrease was offset by (i) the decrease in recovery for doubtful accounts of $1,421 and (ii) the change in estimated contingent liabilities of $177,182 as we incurred a gain of contingent estimated payment during the three months ended April 30, 2019 and we did not have such contingent payment during the three months ended April 30, 2020.
The decrease in selling expenses of approximately $89,000 was mainly attributable to the decrease in salaries, social insurance and commission expenses of approximately $63,000 to our sales representatives, the decrease in shipping expenses of approximately $16,000 resulted from decreased in sales, and the decrease in travel expenses of approximately $5,000 due to COVID-19 travel restriction.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $482,000 was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in salaries, social insurance expenses, and benefits expenses of approximately $109,000 mainly due to the COVID-19 restriction as our operations and offices were closed with limited operations during the quarter ended April 30, 2020, (ii) the decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $111,000 due to the impairment of long-lived assets adjustments that we provided in prior quarters, which we resulted in lesser depreciation and amortization expenses as there were no depreciation and amortization expenses on the impaired assets in the current quarter, (iii) the decrease in other general and administrative expenses including office expenses, supplies and travel and transportation expenses of approximately $83,000 due to the COVID-19 restriction as our operations and offices were closed with limited operations during the quarter ended April 30, 2020, and (iv) approximately $326,000 decrease in professional fees including legal fees, audit fees and consulting fees, as we incurred significant professional fees in relation to the acquisition of Rongentang as well as incurring more up-listing cost during the three months ended April 30, 2019 and we did not incur such professional fees in the same period in 2020 as we currently put our up-listing plan on hold. The decrease was offset by the increase in rent, utilities and property management expenses of approximately $148,000 mainly due to the allocation of our leased factories and related cost into general and administrative expense as we have no production in Xiangtian Zhongdian.
Other Income (Expenses), Net
Total other expenses decreased by $491,824 or 87.3% from $563,359 during the three months ended April 30, 2019 to $71,535 during the same period in 2020. The decrease in total other expenses was mainly attributable to the decrease in other expense as we only incurred approximately $80,000 court fees from our prior legal cases during the three months ended April 30, 2020. This decrease in other expense was also due to approximately $393,000 of one-time finance expenses incurred in the three months ended April 30, 2019 resulted from the early acquisition payment of Hubei Jinli prior to the original due date and approximately $132,000 decrease in interest expense as we did not obtained any new related party loan during the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Income Tax Benefit
Our current income tax benefit was $16,482 and $36,060 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease of income tax benefit was resulted from lesser taxable losses resulted from the utilization of prior periods net operating losses from our VIEs and controlled entities for the three months ended April 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. We have also provided 100% allowance on net operating losses for our VIEs and controlled entities which incurred losses that has no prior periods of net operating losses for utilization in the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.

Revenue
Our revenue was derived from the sales of PV panels and others products and heat pump products for the nine months ended April 30, 2020.
Total revenues decreased by $28,845,185 or 90.1%, to $3,156,482 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 as compared to $32,001,667 for the same period in 2019. The overall decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease of revenue generated from sales of all products. See the table below for a detailed analysis of the decrease in our revenue.

Installation of power generation systems revenue decreased by $392,267 or 100.0% from $392,267 for the nine months ended April 30, 2019 to $0 for the same period in 2020 because we did not have any new installation projects performed during the nine months ended April 30, 2020 as we have not been focusing on our power generation systems business. We are no longer focusing on the installation of power generation systems but to sell the PV panels separately. As a result, we do not expect our installation of power generation systems will be generating any significant revenues.
Sales of PV panels and others decreased by $19,409,328 or 91.3% from $21,259,425 for the nine months ended April 30, 2019 to $1,850,097 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in sales of PV panels and others was primarily due to significant decrease in sales from Xiangtian Zhongdian. We were operating under certain disagreements with our non-controlling shareholder in Xiangtian Zhongdian, which led to Xiangtian Zhongdian to put the PV panels sales orders on hold. As a result, our sales of PV panels decreased during the nine months ended April 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.

Sales of air compression equipment and other components decreased by $1,391,714 or 100.0% and the sales of heat pumps decreased by $6,693,197 or 83.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was attributable to significant decrease in sales orders as we lost some large air compression equipment and heat pump customers and temporary closure of our and our customer’s operations under the influence of COVID-19 during the nine months ended April 30, 2020 which resulted in lesser sales orders in the current period as compared to the same period in 2019. Our sales from air compression equipment and heat pumps are expected to be decreased as compared to the prior period going forward as we recently did not put a lot of research and development activities to keep up with the latest technology of the air compression and heat pumps products. We anticipate a decrease in future sales of heat pumps and air compression, and as a result our competitors will, in all likelihood gain a greater market share in this industry.
Sales of high-grade synthetic fuel decreased by $958,679 or 100.0% for the nine months ended April 30, 2020, and we did not sell any high-grade synthetic fuel products during the nine months ended April 30, 2020 mainly due to significant decrease in sales from Sanhe Xiangtian. Prior to the establishment of Jingshan Sanhe, we sold our high-grade synthetic fuel products in Sanhe Xiangtian. We expected there will be no sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products as our continuing operation because we are no longer expected to sell high-grade synthetic fuel products in Sanhe Xiangtian going forward.

Our gross (loss) profit decreased by $9,268,886, or 198.0%, to (4,588,496) during the nine months ended April 30, 2020 from $4,680,390 for the same period in 2019. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the significant decrease in revenues from sales of PV panels and other products, air compression equipment, heat pumps, and high-grade synthetic fuel products as discussed above and the increase in cost of revenue as we provided allowance for aged inventories which attributed to gross loss.
For the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, our overall gross (loss) profit percentage was (145.4%) and 14.6%, respectively. The decrease of 160.0% was primarily due to increase in cost of revenue as we provided allowance for aged inventories.
Gross profit percentage for our installation of power generation systems revenue was 8.2% for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. We did not have any installation project performed during the nine months ended April 30, 2020.
Gross (loss) profit percentage for PV panels and others revenue was (58.9%) and 10.0% for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease of gross profit percentage was due to the increase in cost of revenue as we provided allowance for aged inventories due to slow moving of our inventories and lack of sales as discussed above.
Gross profit percentage for air compression equipment and other components revenue was 34.5% for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. We did not sell any air compression equipment and other components during the nine months ended April 30, 2020.
Gross (loss) profit percentage for heat pumps revenue was (267.8%) and 17.8% for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The significant decrease was mainly due to increase in cost of revenue as we provided allowance for aged inventories due to slow moving of our inventories.
Gross profit percentage for high-grade synthetic fuel revenue was 63.5% for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. We did not sold any high-grade synthetic fuel products during the nine months ended April 30, 2020.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased by $4,933,165 or 118.1% from $4,176,418 during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 to $9,109,583 during the same period in 2020. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in provision for doubtful accounts of $854,559 as we have more aged receivables, (ii) the increase in impairment of advances to suppliers of $538,809 and (iii) the increase in impairment loss of long-lived assets of $4,999,504. The increase in operating expenses was offset by (iv) the decrease in selling expenses of $602,561 and (v) the decrease in general and administrative expenses of $878,584.
The decrease in selling expenses of approximately $603,000 was mainly attributable to the decrease in salaries and benefits and commission expenses of approximately $564,000 to our sales representatives as we determined adding sales representatives is not an effective way to promote our products and the decrease of shipping expenses of approximately $35,000 resulted from decreased in sales.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $879,000 was mainly attributable to (i) approximately $968,000 decrease in professional fees including legal fees, audit fees and consulting fees, as we incurred significant professional fees in relation to the acquisition of Hubei Jinli, Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. as well as incurring more up-listing cost during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 and we did not incur such professional fees in the same period in 2020 as we currently put our up-listing plan on hold, (ii) the decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $193,000 due to the impairment of long-lived assets adjustments that we provided in the year ended July 31, 2019, which we resulted in lesser depreciation and amortization expenses as there were no depreciation and amortization expenses on the impaired assets in the current period and (iii) the decrease in other general and administrative expenses including office expenses, meals and entertainment, training and supply expenses of approximately $123,000 mainly due to the COVID-19 restriction as our operations and offices were closed with limited operations during the quarter ended April 30, 2020. The decrease was offset by the increase in rent, utilities and property management expenses of approximately $405,000 mainly due to the allocation of our leased factories and related cost into general and administrative expense as we have no production in Xiangtian Zhongdian.
The increase of impairment of advances to suppliers of approximately $539,000 was mainly due to Xiangtian Zhongdian lacked of productions, we provided impairments on advances to suppliers.
The increase of impairment loss of long-lived assets of approximately $5,000,000 was mainly due to Sanhe Xiangtian and Xiangtian Zhongdian lacked of productions, we provided impairments on production equipment and relevant patents.
Other (Expenses) Income, Net
Total other expenses decreased by $840,001 or 81.4% from total other expenses of $1,032,359 during the nine months ended April 30, 2019 to $192,358 during the same period in 2020. The decrease in total other expenses was mainly attributable approximately $685,000 decrease in interest expense as we did not obtained any new related party loan during the nine months ended April 30, 2020. This decrease was also due to the decrease in other expense of approximately $160,000. During the nine months ended April 30, 2019, we incurred approximately $393,000 of one-time finance expenses resulted from the early acquisition payment of Hubei Jinli prior to the original due date and we did not incur such costs during the same period in 2020. During the nine months ended April 30, 2020, we made approximately $285,000 donation to the Red Cross Society of Hubei province and Xianning City for helping current COVID-19 patients and we also incurred approximately $80,000 court fees offset by the increase in other income of approximately $176,000, as we received more government grants for technological transformation.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
Our current income tax benefit (expense) was $4,498 and $(473,471) for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase of income tax benefit is due to the fact that we utilized the income tax benefit from our VIEs and controlled entities which we incurred losses in current period while incurring income tax expenses in prior periods for the nine months ended April 30, 2020. We have also provided 100% allowance on net operating losses for our VIEs and controlled entities which incurred losses in the nine months ended April 30, 2020. In the nine months ended April 30, 2019, our income tax expense was incurred by our profitable VIEs and controlled entities in both periods and we have provided 100% allowance on net operating losses for our VIEs and controlled entities which incurred losses.

Loss from Continuing Operations
Our net loss from continuing operations increased by $12,884,081, or 1,286.0%, to net loss of $13,885,939 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020, from a net loss of $1,001,858 for the same period in 2019. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.
Discontinued Operations
Net Loss from Discontinued Operations
Our net loss from discontinued operations increased by $6,410,217 or 143.7%, to net loss of $1,950,581 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020, from a net income of $4,459,636 for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. The increase in loss from discontinued operations was predominantly due to the expenses generated by Jingshan Sanhe and Hubei Jinli, which considered as discontinued operations. We were generating income from Jingshan Sanhe and Hubei Jinli in the same period in 2019. The increase in loss from discontinued operations was also due to the expenses generated by Herbal Wine Co. and Wine Co. which also considered as discontinued operations. We were generating income from the Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. in the same period in 2019. See Note 4 – Discontinued operations.
Net loss on Sale of Discontinued Operations
Our net loss from discontinued operations was $454,067 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020, which was due to the sales of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. as we entered into an equity transfer agreement with Kairui Tong and Hao Huang (the “Buyers”) on January 6, 2020, which we agreed to sell its 90% ownership in Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. to the Buyers for approximately $9.6 million (RMB 67.5 million), of which, 54% ownership are sold to Kairui Tong, the legal representative and general manager of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co, and 36% ownership are sold to Hao Huang, an unrelated third party. We did not sell any operations during the nine months ended April 30, 2019.
Net (Loss) Income
Our net loss increased by $19,748,365, or 571.1%, to net loss of $16,290,587 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 from a net income of $3,457,778 for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing from related parties has been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Company and acquisitions of businesses. As of April 30, 2020, the Company’s working deficit was approximately $7.4 million and the Company had cash of approximately $1.5 million. Excluding other payable to related parties and director of approximately $7.0 million, the Company’s working deficit was approximately $0.4 million. Although we believe that we can realize our current assets in the normal course of business, our ability to repay our current obligations will depend on the future realization of our current assets and the future operating revenues generated from our operations.
Our management has considered whether there is a going concern issue due to our recurring losses from operations. Management has determined there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate significant revenue, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations. Our management is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the following sources:
| ● | we will continuously seek equity financing to support our working capital; |
| ● | other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions; |
| ● | financial support and credit guarantee commitments from our related parties. |

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
66
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated cost used to calculate the percentage of completion recognized in the Company’s revenues, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, right-of-use assets, lease classification and liabilities, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for other accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of the assets and the liabilities of the entities acquired through its business combination, valuation of warranty reserves, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of July 31, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.
The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized over time for the Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems and are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of products.
The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
Sale and installation of power generation systems
Sales of power generation systems in conjunction of system installation are generally recognized based on the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, which was essentially the same as the percentage of completion method prior to August 1, 2018 for its installation project. Therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet completed. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that costs expended to date bear to anticipated final total costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. Adjustments to the original estimates of the total contract revenue, total contract costs, or the extent of progress toward completion are often required as work progresses. Such changes and refinements in estimation are reflected in reported results of operations as they occur; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
67
The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate to the unit material cost, the quantity of materials to be used, the installation cost and those indirect costs related to contract performance. The estimate of unit material cost is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information available in the supply markets. The estimate of material quantity to be used for completion and the installation cost is also reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information on the progress of project execution. If the supply market conditions or the progress of project execution were different, it is likely that materially different amounts of contract costs would be used in the input method of accounting. Thus the uncertainty associated with those estimates may impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Claims for additional contract costs are recognized upon a signed change order from the customer.
If the sales of equipment is combined within the contract of the installation of power generation system with the Company performing significant service of integrating the equipment into the power generation system, the installation revenues and sales of equipment and system component are combined and considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer the equipment and system component and installation are not separately identifiable, which is evidencing by the fact that the Company provides a significant service of integrating the goods and services into a power generation system for which the customer has contracted. The Company currently does not have any modification of contract and the contract currently does not have any variable consideration.
The Company did not generate any installation of power generation systems revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0 and $392,267, respectively.
Sales of products
Sales of products includes sales of PV panels, air compression equipment and other components, heat pumps, high-grate synthetic fuel, hydraulic parts and electronic components, wine and herbal wine. When these products are not being integrated into a service contract and being sold individually, the Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon delivery of products. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied and based on when control of goods transfer to a customer, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to August 1, 2018.
Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting
The Company’s trading segment, Xiangtian Trade, engages in trading of general merchandise, primarily consisting of tealeaves. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on its assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction in accordance with ASC 606-10-55 and depends on whether the promise to the customer is to provide the products or to facilitate a sale by a third party. The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products prior to transferring it. When the Company controls the product, the promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products, the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. We consider this guidance in conjunction with the terms in our arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
In general, the Company does not have the responsibility of fulfilling the promise to provide the products as the products can be returned to its suppliers if its customers do not accept the products. Furthermore, the Company does not control the products as it has no obligation to (i) fulfill the resale products delivery, and (ii) bear any inventory risk. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has such discretion of establishing price to ensure it would generate profit for the services of the products delivery arrangements. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as an agent in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the trading segment is presented on a net basis.
68
Warranty
We generally provide limited warranties for work performed under our contracts. At the time a sale is recognized, we record estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warrants are not service warranties separately sold by us. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or our best estimate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, as defined by §229.10(f)(1), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of April 30, 2020.
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2020 were not effective.
Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
| ● | Ineffective control environment. We did not maintain an effective control environment, which is the foundation necessary for effective internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we (i) had an insufficient number of personnel appropriately qualified to perform control design, execution and monitoring activities; (ii) had an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience; (iii) did not establish the authorization approval matrix; and (iv) did not implement a budget system, which makes management and other personnel unable to carry out their internal control responsibilities including the lack of budget-to-actual analyses, balance sheet variation analysis, pro forma financial statements, and the usage of key spreadsheets for monitoring. |
| ● | Ineffective controls over our financial statement close and reporting process. We did not maintain effective controls over our financial statement close and reporting process. Specifically, we did not have effective controls over the completeness, existence and accuracy of related party disclosures. |
| ● | Inadequate controls over production plan. Our manufacturing department did not maintain effective controls over the accuracy of raw materials. The amount of raw materials mentioned in the production plan is inconsistent with the actual amount of raw materials delivered (Jingshan Sanhe). |
| ● | Inadequate controls over information technology. We had inadequate controls over information technology. Specifically, (i) the system permissions on approval process of account opening and ERP system were not one-to-one matched; and (ii) a formal test environment wasn’t established. |
69
Remediation Plans
Our management have taken and are implementing the following measures to address the material weaknesses in internal control over financing reporting, include:
| (i) | We are setting up a key monitoring mechanism including independent directors, an audit compliance committee, a risk management committee and a strategic planning committee to oversee and monitor our risk management, business strategies and financial reporting procedure. |
| a. | We plan to formulate delegation of authorities and job description to clarify authorities and responsibilities of each position. |
| b. | We are in the process of formalizing policies and controls, such as financial management regulations, budget management system, narrative and risk control management, to enable management and other personnel to understand their internal control responsibilities including budget-to-actual analyses, balance sheet variation analysis, pro forma financial statements, and the usage of key spreadsheets for monitoring. |
| (ii) | We are in the process of designing employees’ key performance indicators to monitor and assess employees’ performance. |
| (iii) | We have prepared a list of interest expenses and established a documented process to accrue interest. |
| (iv) | We are in the process of updating the production policy, especially focusing on production plan and usages of raw materials. |
| (v) | We have set up a key strategies mechanism including an investment decision committee to oversee business acquisitions and investments. We have established a formal policy and procedures on business acquisitions and investments. |
| (vi) | We have kept the price comparison records of purchasing battery slices. |
| (vii) | We have engaged tax consultants to prepare and file our US tax returns since January 2019. |
| (viii) | We have established formal policy regarding user management and system backup strategy in the information system safety management regulations to regulate approval process of account opening, periodic account review on financial system, access rule of administrator account, operation log review on financial system and password policy. |
| (ix) | We plan to establish a formal test environment and test before system changes come online. |
Our management believes that the measures described above and others to be implemented will remediate the material weaknesses identified and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. Management is committed to continuous improvement of our internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our generating more revenue to cover the costs of implementing the changes required.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as discussed above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months period ended April 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

The Plaintiffs claimed damage amounting to RMB 2,000,000 (approximately $0.3 million) for breach of contract and demanded immediate payment on the unpaid equity transfer balance of RMB 1,720,000 (approximately $0.3 million). A hearing was held on April 23, 2019 and the court approved the request of the Plaintiffs to freeze Xianning Xiangtian’s assets worth of RMB 3,720,000 (approximately $0.6 million) before a judgement is rendered. As of the date of this report, the freeze order has not been enforced and the Company has not received the list of assets subject to this order. On April 20, 2020, the People’s Court of Jizhou District, Tianjin City reached a verdict in favor of the Plaintiffs. Xianning Xiangtian filed an appeal and the case is under review. Management currently cannot estimate the outcome of the litigation. The Company does not believe the litigation will have a material impact on its current operations and financial statements as the acquisition payment amount has been properly accrued.
On April 15, 2019, Xianning Xiangtian filed a lawsuit against Wenhe Han and Guifen Wang, former shareholders of Tianjin Jiabaili, for the same dispute over the equity transfer of Tianjin Jiabaili in the People’s Court of Jizhou District, Tianjin City. Xianning Xiangtian claimed damage amounting to RMB 2,000,000 (approximately $0.3 million) and demanded immediate refund of RMB 5,080,000 (approximately $0.8 million) plus six percent (6%) annual interest starting from April 15, 2019 due to misrepresentation of the production facility of Tianjin Jiabaili from the former shareholders of Tianjin Jiabiali. A hearing was held June 11, 2019 and the court approved the request of the Company to freeze Wenhe Han and Guifen Wang’s personal assets worth of RMB 7,080,000 (approximately $1.0 million). On October 8, 2019, the People’s Court of Jizhou District, Tianjin City reached a verdict and rejected the Xianning Xiangtian’s claim. Xianning Xiangtian filed an appeal and the case is under review by the People’s Court of Jizhou District, Tianjin City. Management currently cannot estimate the outcome of the litigation.

Going concern
In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing from related parties have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Company and acquisitions of businesses. As of April 30, 2020, the Company’s working deficit was approximately $7.4 million and the Company had cash of approximately $1.5 million. Excluding other payables to related parties and director of approximately $7.0 million, the Company’s working deficit was approximately $0.4 million. Although the Company believes that it can realize its current assets in the normal course of business, the Company’s ability to repay its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets and the future operating revenues generated from its operations.
The Company’s management has considered whether there is a going concern issue due to the Company’s recurring losses from operations. Management has determined there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to generate significant revenue, the Company may be required to cease or curtail its operations. Management is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the following sources:
Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows, as applicable, have been made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s July 31, 2019 annual report on Form 10-K filed on October 15, 2019.
Principles of consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs for which the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary and the VIEs’ subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated cost used to calculate the percentage of completion recognized in the Company’s revenues, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, right-of-use assets, lease classification and liabilities, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for other accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of the assets and the liabilities of the entities acquired through its business combination, valuation of warranty reserves, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Variable interest entities
On September 30, 2018, Xiangtian Shenzhen terminated the VIE Agreements as part of its restructuring to facilitate the shift of business focus between entities controlled by the Company. After the restructuring, the Company’s headquarter is now located in the city of Xianning, Hubei Province, and Sanhe Xiangtian, the Company’s previous headquarters, located in the city of Sanhe, Hebei Province, has become the Company’s sales office. The VIE Agreements include the following:
In connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, on September 30, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian transferred its 100% equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders and the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders transferred their 100% equity interest of Sanhe Xiangtian to Xianning Xiangtian. As a result of the foregoing equity transfers, Sanhe Xiangtian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xianning Xiangtian.
On the same day, the Company, through Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, entered into the New VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Xianning Xiangtian became the Company’s new contractually controlled affiliate.
The principal terms of the New VIE Agreements entered into among Xianning Xiangtian and Xiangtian Shenzhen, the primary beneficiary, are described below:
The Framework Agreement and the Exclusive Management Agreement have initial terms of ten years but each contains a renewal provision that allows Xiangtian Shenzhen to extend the term of such agreements at its sole option by written notice with no limitation as to such extensions. The Know-How Sub-License Agreement is valid for the duration of Xianning Xiangtian’s operation. The other agreements are of unlimited duration.
The Company’s total assets and liabilities presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent substantially all of total assets and liabilities of the VIE because the other entities in the consolidation are non-operating holding entities with nominal assets and liabilities. The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIE were included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively:
Business Combinations
The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.
Cash
Cash denominated in RMB with a U.S. dollar equivalent of $1,193,540 and $2,071,210 at April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, respectively, were held in accounts at financial institutions located in the PRC‚ which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. $711,695 and $1,373,562 of these balances are not covered by insurance as the deposit insurance system in China only insured each depositor per bank for a maximum of approximately $71,000 (RMB500,000). While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness. The Company, its subsidiaries and VIE have not experienced any losses in such accounts and do not believe the cash is exposed to any significant risk. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, cash balance of $284,647 and $177,107, respectively, were maintained at U.S. financial institutions. $24,720 and $0 of these balance were not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs subject to certain limitations up to $250,000 per depositor. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, cash balance of $28,840 and $26,288, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong, and all were insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board up to a limit of HK $500,000 (approximately $64,000).
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash held by banks as guarantee deposit collateralizing notes payable pending release back to unrestricted cash upon completion of administrative process.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis.
Short-term Investment
Short-term investment consists of time deposit placed with a bank, which contains a fixed or variable interest rate and has original maturity within one year. Such investment is permitted to be redeemed early without penalties prior to maturity. Given the short-term nature, the carrying value of short-term investment approximates its fair value. The Company does not intend to withdraw early. There was no other-than-temporary impairment of short-term investment for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable represents commercial notes due from various customers where the customers’ banks have guaranteed the payments. The notes are noninterest bearing and normally paid within three to six months. The Company has the ability to submit requests for payments to the customer’s banks earlier than the scheduled payments date, but will incur an interest charge and a processing fee.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivables, net, are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debts determined by management are based on historical experience as well as the current economic climate and are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
Inventories, net
Inventories, net, consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. When appropriate, impairment to inventories are recorded to write down the cost of inventories to their net realizable value.
Advances to Suppliers
Advances to suppliers are cash deposited or advanced to outside vendors or services providers for future inventory purchases or future services. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. For any advances to suppliers determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories or refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management reviews its advances to suppliers on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020, $0 and $538,809 impairment of advances to suppliers was recognized, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019, no impairment of advances to suppliers was recognized.
Contract Assets
The differences between the timing of the Company’s revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on unconditional rights to receive the consideration in the contractual terms) results in changes to the Company’s contract asset or contract liability positions. Provisions for estimated losses of contract assets on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses represent advance payments made to vendors for services such as rent, internet, consulting, maintenance and certification.
Other Receivables, net
Other receivables, net primarily include advances to employees, receivables from sales of equipment, and other deposits. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $292,362 and $0 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Other Receivables – Related Parties
Other receivables – related parties present advances to the management of the Company for business development and travel advances.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service. Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets’ estimated residual value:
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized.
Construction-in-progress represents contractor and labor costs, design fees and inspection fees in connection with the construction of the Company’s synthetic fuel raw materials production line, factory plantation and fire safety equipment installation. No depreciation is provided for construction-in-progress until it is completed and placed into service.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets, net, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
All land in the PRC is owned by the government; however, the government grants “land use rights.” The Company has obtained rights to use various parcels of land for 50 years through the acquisition of Hubei Jinli in June 2018.
Technology know-hows, including LSC Hand-Held Diesel Pump, CB-39 Motor Oil Pump, 0-16 MPa series hydraulic cylinder, brake cylinder and hydraulic value, and certain special operating and production licenses were acquired through the acquisition of Hubei Jinli and Tianjin Jiabaili in June 2018 with estimated finite useful lives between 4.5 years to 10 years.
Certain PV panel certifications were contributed by the Company’s noncontrolling interest shareholders as capital contribution in March 2018 with an estimated finite useful lives of 10 years.
The Company also acquired a safety production license and an accounting software with a finite useful life of 3 years in June 2018 and January 2019, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. The Company has the option to access qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step in accordance with ASC 350-20. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative carrying amount, the two-step quantities impairment test described below is required.
The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required.
If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business acquisition with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow.
If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, no impairment of goodwill was recognized.
Impairment for Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including plant and equipment and intangible with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.
For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020, an impairment of $0 and $4,353,609 of equipment were recognized, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019, no impairment was recognized for equipment.
For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020, an impairment of $0 and $645,895 were recorded for intangible assets, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019, no impairment was recognized for intangible assets.
Subscription Receivable
Subscription receivable represents unpaid capital contribution from its shareholders.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2019:
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on level 3 measurements for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and for the year ended July 31, 2019:
The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advance to suppliers, contract assets, prepaid expenses, other receivables, short-term loans, accounts payable, advances from customers, other payables and accrued liabilities, tax payables and short-term investment payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying amount of long-term investment payable reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value as the rate of amortization of investment payment discount used were similar to interest rate charged by the bank in the PRC. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, long-term investment payable balance was $0 and $279,764, net of discount of $25,999, respectively.
Leases
Effective August 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. On August 1, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $2.7 million right of use (“ROU”) assets and approximately $2.1 million lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using incremental borrowing rate of 4.75% and 4.90% based on duration of lease terms.
Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date of August 1, 2019 or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
Discontinued operations
In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meet the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E to be classified as discontinued operations. When all of the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations are met, including management having the authority to approve the action and committing to a plan to sell the entity, the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from the balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations in accordance with ASC 205-20-45. See Note 4 – Discontinued operations.
Revenue Recognition
On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of July 31, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.
The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized over time for the Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems and are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of products.
The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
Sale and installation of power generation systems
Sales of power generation systems in conjunction of system installation are generally recognized based on the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, which was essentially the same as the percentage of completion method prior to August 1, 2018 for its installation project. Therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet completed. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that costs expended to date bear to anticipated final total costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. Adjustments to the original estimates of the total contract revenue, total contract costs, or the extent of progress toward completion are often required as work progresses. Such changes and refinements in estimation are reflected in reported results of operations as they occur; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate to the unit material cost, the quantity of materials to be used, the installation cost and those indirect costs related to contract performance. The estimate of unit material cost is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information available in the supply markets. The estimate of material quantity to be used for completion and the installation cost is also reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information on the progress of project execution. If the supply market conditions or the progress of project execution were different, it is likely that materially different amounts of contract costs would be used in the input method of accounting. Thus the uncertainty associated with those estimates may impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Claims for additional contract costs are recognized upon a signed change order from the customer.
If the sales of equipment is combined within the contract of the installation of power generation system with the Company performing significant service of integrating the equipment into the power generation system, the installation revenues and sales of equipment and system component are combined and considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer the equipment and system component and installation are not separately identifiable, which is evidencing by the fact that the Company provides a significant service of integrating the goods and services into a power generation system for which the customer has contracted. The Company currently does not have any modification of contract and the contract currently does not have any variable consideration.
There was no sale and installation of power generation systems revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0 and $392,267, respectively.
Sales of products
Sales of products includes sales of PV panels, air compression equipment and other components, heat pumps, high-grate synthetic fuel, hydraulic parts and electronic components, wine and herbal wine. When these products are not being integrated into a service contract and being sold individually, the Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon delivery of products. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied and based on when control of goods transfer to a customer, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to August 1, 2018.
The Company’s disaggregate Revenues - sale of products information for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized as follows:
Gross versus Net Revenue Reporting
The Company’s trading segment, Xiangtian Trade, engages in trading of general merchandise, primarily consisting of tealeaves. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on its assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction in accordance with ASC 606-10-55 and depends on whether the promise to the customer is to provide the products or to facilitate a sale by a third party. The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products prior to transferring it. When the Company controls the product, the promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products, the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
In general, the Company does not have the responsibility of fulfilling the promise to provide the products as the products can be returned to its suppliers if its customers do not accept the products. Furthermore, the Company does not control the products as it has no obligation to (i) fulfill the resale products delivery, and (ii) bear any inventory risk. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has such discretion of establishing price to ensure it would generate profit for the services of the products delivery arrangements. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as an agent in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the trading segment is presented on a net basis.
Warranty
The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warrants are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate. There were no such reserves recorded for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. No right of return exists on sales of inventory. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, accrued warranty expense amounted to $63,584 and $65,182, respectively, and classified in the caption “other payables and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs amounted to $0 and $17,971 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Advertising costs amounted to $31,594 and $55,489 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Employee Benefit
The full-time employees of the Company are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, pension benefits, unemployment insurance and other welfare, which are government mandated defined contribution plans. The Company is required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations, and make cash contributions to the state-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued. Total expenses for the plans were $15,041 and $39,484 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total expenses for the plans were $107,792 and $125,157 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Research and development (“R&D”)
Research and development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses paid to the Company’s research and product development personnel while they are working on R&D projects, as well as raw materials used for the R&D projects. R&D expenses amounted to $0 for the three months and the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019.
Value Added Taxes
The Company is subject to value added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from sales of goods purchased from other entities is generally subject to VAT at the rate of 13% starting in April 2019, 16% starting in April 2018 and 17% prior to April 2018 and prior for all of its products except Herbal Wine which is at the rate of 3%. The Company is entitled to a refund for VAT already paid on goods purchased. The VAT balance is recorded in other payables on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenues are presented net of applicable VAT.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. 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. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. PRC tax returns filed in 2015 to 2019 are subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) ASC 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company had other comprehensive loss of $610,642 and $229,348 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, from foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company had other comprehensive (loss) income of $(859,811) and $436,071 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, from foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the RMB as substantially all of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ operations use this denomination. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of subsidiaries in PRC, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.0571 and 6.8841 as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, respectively; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period, which is 7.0245 and 6.7233 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Weighted average exchange rate is 7.0230 and 6.8265 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of the subsidiary in Hong Kong, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.7514 and 7.8275 as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, respectively; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period, which is 7.7634 and 7.8473 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Weighted average exchange rate is 7.8016 and 7.8397 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Loss per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Statutory Reserves
Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable statutory surplus reserve fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the statutory surplus reserve fund requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the reserve fund. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the reserve fund cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). If the Company has accumulated loss from prior periods, the Company is able to use the current period net income after tax to offset against the accumulated loss. For the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has contributed $21,679 and $469,902, respectively, to the statutory reserves.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU on August 1, 2019 and determined the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework —Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on February 1, 2023 assuming the Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under ASC 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ASC 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC 815. With respect to the interactions between ASC 321 and ASC 323, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting when applying the measurement alternative in ASC 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method of accounting. With respect to forward contracts or purchased options to purchase securities, the amendments clarify that when applying the guidance in ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. |

Acquisition of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co.
On December 21, 2018, Xianning Xiangtian completed its acquisition (the “Transaction”) of 90% of the equity interests in each of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co., each a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC, pursuant to an equity investment agreement dated December 14, 2018 (the “Agreement”), by and between Xianning Xiangtian and the Rongentang Shareholders, who are unrelated to the Company or Xianning Xiangtian.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Xianning Xiangtian paid a total cash consideration of RMB67.5 million (approximately $9.7 million) (“Total Consideration”) to be contributed into Wine Co. as registered capital. RMB60 million (approximately $8.7 million) of the Total Consideration was deposited into an escrow account held by Xianning Wenquan Branch of Agricultural Bank of China as escrow agent on December 14, 2018. As of December 21, 2018, the Rongentang Shareholders completed the equity interest transfer registration with relevant PRC government authorities and the fund in the escrow was released.
In addition, Rongentang Shareholders completed the title transfer procedures with the PRC government authorities for all the real property and land use rights possessed by Rongentang to Wine Co. (“Title Transfer”) from the owner of such real property and land use rights, Xianning Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. (“Xianning Rongentang”), an entity controlled by the Rongentang Shareholders, in February 2019. Rongentang also obtained a three-year royalty-free license from Xianning Rongentang, the owner of the trademark “Rongentang,” to use such trademark, in January 2019. The Company paid the remaining RMB7.5 million (approximately $1.1 million) of the Total Consideration to Wine Co. as registered capital in March 2019.
Rongentang Shareholders were responsible for taxes and undisclosed liabilities of Rongentang prior to the closing, including but not limited to, the guarantee liability of Wine Co. under certain loan agreement, pursuant to which a security interest in the real property possessed by Rongentang was granted to secure the repayment of a loan of a party related to Rongentang Shareholders of up to RMB10 million (approximately $1.5 million) to a PRC commercial bank. RMB10 million (approximately $1.5 million) of the funds received by the Rongentang Shareholders in connection with the Transaction was used to pay off this loan on January 18, 2019.
Upon closing of the Transaction, Rongentang became majority owned subsidiaries of Xianning Xiangtian and the Company began in business of the production and sales of compound wine and herbal wine products through Rongentang.
The Company’s acquisition of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has allocated the purchase price of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date.

Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from independent appraisers. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, which represents the net purchase price allocation on the date of the acquisition of Wine Co. and Herbal Wine Co. based on a valuation performed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company:

Income tax
United States
Under the provisions of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Act”), the U.S. corporate tax rate is enacted at 21%.
British Virgin Islands
Xiangtian BVI is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current British Virgin Islands law. In addition, upon payments of dividends by these entities to their shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.
Hong Kong
Xiangtian HK is incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5% in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax law, Xiangtian HK is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.
PRC
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs and their controlled entities are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are subject to income tax at a rate of 25% after appropriate tax adjustments.
Significant components of the income tax (benefit) expense consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended April 30:
Significant components of the continuing operations of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019 are approximately as follows:
As of April 30, 2020, the Company had U.S. federal Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $5,887,000 that expire beginning in 2029 to 2038 with deferred tax assets of approximately $1,236,000. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $30,000 of NOLs related to its Hong Kong holding companies that can be carried forward indefinitely with deferred tax assets of approximately $5,000. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $7,951,000 of NOLs related to its PRC subsidiaries and VIEs that expire in years 2020 through 2023 with deferred tax assets of approximately $1,988,000. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future generation for taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance as of April 30, 2020.
Significant components of the discontinued operations of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019 are approximately as follows:
The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
If applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other Income (Expense)” in the statement of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and Administrative Expenses” in the statement of operations. The Company stayed current and filed its July 31, 2019 before the deadline. No interest or penalty on unpaid tax was recorded during both the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next quarter. |

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments.

Debt financing from related parties have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Company and acquisitions of businesses.

Management has determined there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

| Use of estimates and assumptions | Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated cost used to calculate the percentage of completion recognized in the Company’s revenues, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, right-of-use assets, lease classification and liabilities, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for other accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence reserve, allowance for deferred tax assets, fair value of the assets and the liabilities of the entities acquired through its business combination, valuation of warranty reserves, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On September 30, 2018, Xiangtian Shenzhen terminated the VIE Agreements as part of its restructuring to facilitate the shift of business focus between entities controlled by the Company. After the restructuring, the Company’s headquarter is now located in the city of Xianning, Hubei Province, and Sanhe Xiangtian, the Company’s previous headquarters, located in the city of Sanhe, Hebei Province, has become the Company’s sales office. The VIE Agreements include the following:
In connection with the termination of the VIE Agreements, on September 30, 2018, Sanhe Xiangtian transferred its 100% equity interest of Xianning Xiangtian to the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders and the Sanhe Xiangtian Shareholders transferred their 100% equity interest of Sanhe Xiangtian to Xianning Xiangtian. As a result of the foregoing equity transfers, Sanhe Xiangtian became a wholly owned subsidiary of Xianning Xiangtian.
On the same day, the Company, through Xiangtian Shenzhen and Xiangtian HK, entered into the New VIE Agreements, pursuant to which Xianning Xiangtian became the Company’s new contractually controlled affiliate.
The principal terms of the New VIE Agreements entered into among Xianning Xiangtian and Xiangtian Shenzhen, the primary beneficiary, are described below:
The Framework Agreement and the Exclusive Management Agreement have initial terms of ten years but each contains a renewal provision that allows Xiangtian Shenzhen to extend the term of such agreements at its sole option by written notice with no limitation as to such extensions. The Know-How Sub-License Agreement is valid for the duration of Xianning Xiangtian’s operation. The other agreements are of unlimited duration.
The Company’s total assets and liabilities presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent substantially all of total assets and liabilities of the VIE because the other entities in the consolidation are non-operating holding entities with nominal assets and liabilities. The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIE were included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

| Accounts Receivable, net | Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivables, net, are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debts determined by management are based on historical experience as well as the current economic climate and are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
Inventories, net
Inventories, net, consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. When appropriate, impairment to inventories are recorded to write down the cost of inventories to their net realizable value.
Advances to Suppliers Advances to suppliers are cash deposited or advanced to outside vendors or services providers for future inventory purchases or future services. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. For any advances to suppliers determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories or refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management reviews its advances to suppliers on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service. Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets’ estimated residual value:
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized.
Construction-in-progress represents contractor and labor costs, design fees and inspection fees in connection with the construction of the Company’s synthetic fuel raw materials production line, factory plantation and fire safety equipment installation.

| Goodwill | Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. The Company has the option to access qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step in accordance with ASC 350-20. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative carrying amount, the two-step quantities impairment test described below is required.
The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required.
If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business acquisition with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow.
If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, no impairment of goodwill was recognized.

Long-lived assets, including plant and equipment and intangible with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.
For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020, an impairment of $0 and $4,353,609 of equipment were recognized, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019, no impairment was recognized for equipment.
For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020, an impairment of $0 and $645,895 were recorded for intangible assets, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019, no impairment was recognized for intangible assets.

| Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2019:
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on level 3 measurements for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and for the year ended July 31, 2019:
The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash, restricted cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, inventories, advance to suppliers, contract assets, prepaid expenses, other receivables, short-term loans, accounts payable, advances from customers, other payables and accrued liabilities, tax payables and short-term investment payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying amount of long-term investment payable reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value as the rate of amortization of investment payment discount used were similar to interest rate charged by the bank in the PRC. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, long-term investment payable balance was $0 and $279,764, net of discount of $25,999, respectively.

| Leases | Leases
Effective August 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. On August 1, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $2.7 million right of use (“ROU”) assets and approximately $2.1 million lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using incremental borrowing rate of 4.75% and 4.90% based on duration of lease terms.
Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date of August 1, 2019 or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
On August 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of July 31, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.
The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized over time for the Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems and are recognized at a point in time for the Company’s sale of products.
The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
Sale and installation of power generation systems
Sales of power generation systems in conjunction of system installation are generally recognized based on the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation using an input measure method, which was essentially the same as the percentage of completion method prior to August 1, 2018 for its installation project. Therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet completed. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that costs expended to date bear to anticipated final total costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. Adjustments to the original estimates of the total contract revenue, total contract costs, or the extent of progress toward completion are often required as work progresses. Such changes and refinements in estimation are reflected in reported results of operations as they occur; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate to the unit material cost, the quantity of materials to be used, the installation cost and those indirect costs related to contract performance. The estimate of unit material cost is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information available in the supply markets. The estimate of material quantity to be used for completion and the installation cost is also reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis, based on the updated information on the progress of project execution. If the supply market conditions or the progress of project execution were different, it is likely that materially different amounts of contract costs would be used in the input method of accounting. Thus the uncertainty associated with those estimates may impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Claims for additional contract costs are recognized upon a signed change order from the customer.
If the sales of equipment is combined within the contract of the installation of power generation system with the Company performing significant service of integrating the equipment into the power generation system, the installation revenues and sales of equipment and system component are combined and considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer the equipment and system component and installation are not separately identifiable, which is evidencing by the fact that the Company provides a significant service of integrating the goods and services into a power generation system for which the customer has contracted. The Company currently does not have any modification of contract and the contract currently does not have any variable consideration.
There was no sale and installation of power generation systems revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s sale and installation of power generation systems revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0 and $392,267, respectively.
Sales of products
Sales of products includes sales of PV panels, air compression equipment and other components, heat pumps, high-grate synthetic fuel, hydraulic parts and electronic components, wine and herbal wine. When these products are not being integrated into a service contract and being sold individually, the Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon delivery of products. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied and based on when control of goods transfer to a customer, which is generally similar to when its delivery has occurred prior to August 1, 2018.
The Company’s disaggregate Revenues - sale of products information for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized as follows:

The Company’s trading segment, Xiangtian Trade, engages in trading of general merchandise, primarily consisting of tealeaves. The determination of whether revenues should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on its assessment of whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction in accordance with ASC 606-10-55 and depends on whether the promise to the customer is to provide the products or to facilitate a sale by a third party. The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products prior to transferring it. When the Company controls the product, the promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products, the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
In general, the Company does not have the responsibility of fulfilling the promise to provide the products as the products can be returned to its suppliers if its customers do not accept the products. Furthermore, the Company does not control the products as it has no obligation to (i) fulfill the resale products delivery, and (ii) bear any inventory risk. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has such discretion of establishing price to ensure it would generate profit for the services of the products delivery arrangements. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as an agent in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the trading segment is presented on a net basis.

| Warranty | Warranty
The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warrants are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate. There were no such reserves recorded for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019. No right of return exists on sales of inventory. As of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, accrued warranty expense amounted to $63,584 and $65,182, respectively, and classified in the caption “other payables and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. 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. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. PRC tax returns filed in 2015 to 2019 are subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

| Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the RMB as substantially all of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ operations use this denomination. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of subsidiaries in PRC, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.0571 and 6.8841 as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, respectively; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period, which is 7.0245 and 6.7233 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Weighted average exchange rate is 7.0230 and 6.8265 for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements of the subsidiary in Hong Kong, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 7.7514 and 7.8275 as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2019, respectively; stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period, which is 7.7634 and 7.8473 for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

| Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Loss per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.

| Statutory Reserves | Statutory Reserves
Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable statutory surplus reserve fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the statutory surplus reserve fund requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the reserve fund. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the reserve fund cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). If the Company has accumulated loss from prior periods, the Company is able to use the current period net income after tax to offset against the accumulated loss. For the nine months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has contributed $21,679 and $469,902, respectively, to the statutory reserves.

| Contingencies | Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

| Recently issued accounting pronouncements | Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU on August 1, 2019 and determined the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework —Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on February 1, 2023 assuming the Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under ASC 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ASC 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC 815. With respect to the interactions between ASC 321 and ASC 323, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting when applying the measurement alternative in ASC 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method of accounting. With respect to forward contracts or purchased options to purchase securities, the amendments clarify that when applying the guidance in ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. |
