NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION

 

Greenpower International Group Limited (the "Company," “We,” or “Us.”) (formerly Boxwood Acquisition Corporation) was incorporated on April 20, 2011 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. On June 2, 2011, the Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by which it registered its class of common stock. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, and an affiliated PRC entity that is controlled through contractual arrangements.

On February 10, 2012, the Company effected the acquisition of Greenpower International Group Limited of British Virgin Islands (“Greenpower BVI”) through the exchange of 10,000,000 shares of voting common stock of the Company for all the 50,000 outstanding shares of Greenpower BVI at an exchange ratio of 200 shares of the Company for each share of Greenpower BVI (the "Acquisition"). Greenpower BVI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on September 16, 2011.

As a result of the Acquisition, Greenpower BVI has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company has taken over the management and control of Greenpower BVI. The Company has also taken over the operations and business plan of Greenpower BVI, which has management and voting control over Shenzhen Guoning New Energy Investment Co., Ltd, a company formed under the laws of Guangdong, China (“Guoning”), through a variable investment entity ("VIE") structure pursuant to contractual agreements dated October 26, 2011 and subsequently strengthened in February 2012Guoning was formed in January 2011 and was formerly known as Shenzhen Muren Technology Industry Co., Ltd. (“Muren”). Muren was incorporated in the Guangdong Province, Shenzhen City of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on March 4, 2004 as a limited liability company with no common shares issued or outstanding. Prior to January 4, 2011, Guoning was in the business of purchasing, assembling, and furnishing customized, made to customer order laboratory equipment, furniture and lighting instruments. On January 4, 2011, in connection with the execution of an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”), Mr. RenHua He (“He”), the vice president and one of the two shareholders, transferred his ownership to the other shareholder, Mr. Jiong Zhang (“Zhang”), who became the Chairman of a newly  registered entity, Guoning.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Guoning’s prior business in laboratory equipment and furniture was divested to He, leaving a focus on the LED lighting business going forward.  

 

In addition to selling LED bulbs and light sets as a distributor, management began a new business model after divesting the prior business component in January 2011. The new business model, Energy Management Contract (“EMC”), focuses on energy performance sharing via replacing customers’ current illumination equipment with energy efficient LED lights and charges based on an agreed percentage of savings on monthly utility bills.   

The following diagram illustrates the corporate structure of the Company as of June 30, 2013:

[page6to12004.gif]

Contractual agreements are summarized in the following paragraphs:

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement.  Pursuant to an exclusive business cooperation agreement, Greenpower BVI shall be the exclusive service provider to Guoning and will provide complete technical support, business support and related consulting services. In consideration for such services, Greenpower BVI is entitled to receive fees equal to 100% of the net income of Guoning, such fees being due and payable on a monthly basis. Pursuant to the exclusive business cooperation agreement, Greenpower BVI also has exclusive and proprietary rights and interests in all intellectual properties arising out of or created during the performance of the agreement, including, but not limited to, copyrights, patents, patent applications, software, technical secrets, trade secrets and others.

Exclusive Option Agreement.  Pursuant to an exclusive option agreement, each of Guoning’s shareholders have granted Greenpower BVI an exclusive option to purchase all or part of their equity interests in Guoning at any time determined by Greenpower BVI and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

 

Voting Rights Proxy Agreement.  Pursuant to a voting rights proxy agreement, the shareholders of Guoning have granted the personnel designated by Greenpower BVI the right to appoint directors and senior management of Guoning and to exercise all of their other voting rights as shareholders of Guoning. Under the voting rights proxy agreement, there are no restrictions on the number or identity of those persons we can appoint as directors and officers.

Equity Pledge Agreement.  Pursuant to an equity pledge agreement, each of the shareholders has pledged his or its equity interest in Guoning to Greenpower BVI to secure the performance of that agreement by Guoning.

 

Irrevocable Power of Attorney.  Pursuant to an irrevocable power of attorney, each of the shareholders has granted Greenpower BVI the right to act on behalf of the shareholder as the shareholder’s agent and attorney with respect to all matters concerning the shareholder’s shares in Guoning, including (without limitation) attending shareholders’ meetings of Guoning, exercising all of the shareholder’s rights (including voting rights) in Guoning, and designating and appointing the directors and officers of Guoning.

As a result of these Contractual Arrangements, under U.S. GAAP, Greenpower BVI is considered the primary beneficiary of Guoning and thus consolidates its results in our consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the Contractual Arrangements, Greenpower BVI was granted with unconstrained decision making rights and power over key operational functions within Guoning. As a result, Greenpower BVI will bear Guoning’s operating costs in exchange for 100% of the net income. There is no  income or loss of Guoning attributed to other parties. Greenpower BVI does not have any equity interest in Guoning, but instead has the right to enjoy economic benefits similar to an equity ownership through its Contractual Arrangements with Guoning.

These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing Greenpower BVI with control over Guoning as direct ownership. Due to its VIE structure, Greenpower BVI has to rely on contractual rights to effect control and management of Guoning, which exposes it to the risk of potential breach of contract by the shareholders of Guoning.

The assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of Guoning have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, net assets included in the consolidated balance sheets total $1,165,396 and $1,468,319, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the consolidated VIE’s net loss was $322,416 and $563,860, respectively. Currently there are contractual arrangements that could require Greenpower BVI to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIE.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.

Reverse merger accounting

Since former Greenpower BVI security holders owned, after the Merger, approximately 97.5% of the Company’s shares of common stock, and as a result of certain other factors, including that all members of the Company's executive management are from Greenpower BVI, Greenpower BVI is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and a recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP"). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the historical results of Greenpower BVI prior to the merger and that of the combined company following the merger, and do not include the historical financial results of the Company prior to the completion of the merger. Common stock and the corresponding capital amounts of the Company pre-merger have been retroactively restated as capital stock shares reflecting the exchange ratio in the merger.

Principles of consolidation

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, a company is required to include in its condensed consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest entities (“VIE”).  ASC Topic 810 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the variable interest entity or is entitled to receive a majority of the variable interest entity’s residual returns. Variable interest entities are those entities in which a company, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greenpower BVI and its variable interest entity, Guoning, for which Greenpower BVI is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

Use of estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of risks

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade receivables and advances to suppliers. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, part of the Company's cash was held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables and advances to suppliers, the Company extends credit based on evaluations of the customers' and suppliers' financial position and business history with the Company. The Company generally is required to make advances to suppliers.

Currency convertibility risk

Guoning transacts all of its business in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. The value of the RMB is subject to change as a result of central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market.

 

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Starting July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. The depreciation of the U.S. dollar against RMB was approximately 0.89%, 4.53%, and 2.38% during the years 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively, and 1.91% during the six months ending June 30, 2013. While the international reaction to the RMB appreciation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. As of June 30, 213 and December 31, 2012, all of our cash was denominated in RMB and was partially held on hand by Guoning.  RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company does not have any cash equivalents.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial positions of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required. For those amounts identified as doubtful after assessment, the Company makes specific provision for these doubtful amounts. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers ranging from 30 to 90 days in the normal course of business. The Company does not accrue interest on trade receivables. Allowance for doubtful accounts made as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $10,835 and $10,673, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.  The Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory aging analyses. The Company writes down the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.  Inventory inherited from the prior entity of Guoning was fully reserved in the prior year. The amount presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets is net of a valuation allowance of $73,701 and $72,584 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives with no salvage value. The useful lives are as follows: vehicles 5 years; office equipment 5 years; leasehold improvement 1 year. Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the historically recorded asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to other income/expense.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We evaluate long-lived assets 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 their net book value may not be recoverable.  When these events occur, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount.  Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue.  Either of these could result in the future impairment of long-lived assets.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605 from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Returns and exchanges require approval from senior management and are on a case-by-case basis. We review and estimate the rates of return and exchange based on historical data and customer specific experience.  Historically, returns and exchanges have been insignificant. The majority of our revenues are derived from three sources. Our revenue recognition policies vary based upon these revenue sources:

Sales of products

Most of our products are shipped directly to the customer at FOB Destination. Revenue is recognized when product is delivered to the customer, when all delivery documents have been signed by the receiving customer, and ownership has passed to the customer. We consider the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.

Investment in direct financing lease  

The Company’s leasing operations consist primarily of leasing LED lights in connection with our EMC business.  The LED lights are leased under five to six year direct finance leases. We use the direct financing method of accounting to record income from direct financing leases. At the inception of our leases, we record the net investment in leases, which consists of the sum of the minimum lease payments, initial direct costs, and unguaranteed residual value (gross investment) less the unearned income. The difference between the gross investment and the cost of the leased equipment is recorded as unearned income at the inception of the lease.

Revenue for direct financing leases is recognized as the unearned income is amortized over the life of the lease using the effective interest method. The amortization of unearned income is a component of lease revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. We review our direct financing lease arrangements for credit risk. Such review includes consideration of the credit rating and financial position of the lessee. Generally, when a lease is more than 90 days delinquent (when more than three monthly payments are owed), the lease is classified as being on non-accrual and the Company stops recognizing leasing income on that date. Payments received on leases in non-accrual status generally reduce the lease receivable. Leases on non-accrual status remain classified as such until there is sustained payment performance that, in our judgment, would indicate that all contractual amounts will be collected in full.

We defer initial direct costs incurred to originate leases in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The initial direct costs deferred are part of the investment in leasing operations and are amortized to leasing income using the interest method. Initial direct costs include commissions and costs associated with credit evaluation, recording guarantees and other security arrangements, documentation and transaction closing. Residual values reflect the estimated amounts to be received at lease termination from lease extensions, sales or other dispositions of leased equipment. The leased equipment residual values are based on management’s best estimate.

Commission

From time to time the Company facilitates the sale of products to markets both inside and outside of China.  As such, the Company recognizes contractually agreed revenue based upon the delivery of products to an end user customer.  Revenue from these types of agreements is recognized when the transaction is substantially finished and upon receipt of the commission payment, net of any related cost.

Allowance for sales returns

On a case-by-case basis, we accept returns of products from our customers, without restocking charges, when they can demonstrate an acceptable cause for the return.  Requests by a distributor to return products purchased for its own inventory generally are not included under this policy.  We will, on a case-by-case basis, accept returns of products upon payment of a restocking fee, which is generally 10% of the net sales price.  We will not accept returns of any products that were special-ordered by a customer or that otherwise are not generally included in our inventory.  There was no allowance for sales returns reserved at June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of the purchase price of light bulbs products and content sold by us, inbound shipping charges, and packaging supplies. Shipping charges to receive products from our suppliers are included in inventory cost, and recognized as “cost of revenue” upon sale of products to our customers. Payment processing and related transaction costs, including those associated with seller transactions, are classified in “selling expenses” on our consolidated statements of operations. Any write downs of inventory to lower of cost or market value are also recorded in cost of revenue.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the amount charged to advertising expense was $6,000 and $2,267, respectively.

Government subsidies

The Company records government grants as current liabilities upon reception. Government subsidy revenue is recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company has complied with all conditions attached to the grant. The Company recognized government subsidies of $242,384 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income taxes

We have implemented certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined.  ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the PRC jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  We have identified the PRC as our "major" tax jurisdiction.  Generally, we remain subject to PRC examination of our income tax returns annually.

 

11

 

We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained by an audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.  In addition, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC 740.  Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate based on rates established within the PRC and, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period.  Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.  

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC 220, Comprehensive Income requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive loss be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For the periods presented, the Company’s comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of Guoning is the local currency, RMB. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of Guoning are translated into United States dollars (“USD”) in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity.  Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The exchange rates in effect as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1629 and USD $0.1605, respectively. The average exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1616 and USD $0.1582, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cumulative translation adjustment of $19,493 and $12,635, respectively, was classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.  There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to United States dollars after the balance sheet date. 

Loss per common share

Basic loss per common share excludes dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Since the Company has only incurred losses, basic and diluted loss per share is the same.  As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no outstanding dilutive securities.

The following table represents the computation of basic and diluted losses per share:

  [page13to20002.gif]

Net loss per share is based upon the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.

Commitments and contingencies

Issuance of common stock

Pursuant to a Joint Development, Customization and Equity Allocation Contract on LED Advertising Lamp (“Agreement”) with one supplier, dated September 25, 2011, the Company is obligated to grant 10 million shares, prorated based on the total authorized common shares of the Company (2% of the total outstanding, 10,000,000 of the 500,000,000), to an officer of the supplier for all product patent rights, trademark rights, software copyright and the domestic marketing exclusivity rights applied by the supplier and subsequently granted to Guoning.  In November 2012, the supplier transferred those 12 approved patents to Guoning. Since there are 21,000,000 shares of common stock currently outstanding, the Company is obligated to arrange for the transfer of 420,000 shares to the supplier. The understanding with the supplier requires not issuance of new shares but transfer of existing shares held by the Chairman. The Company estimates that the transfer of shares would tentatively occur near the end of 2013. Please see Note 7.

 

12

Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in disputes, litigation and other legal actions.  We estimate the range of liability related to any pending litigation where the amount and range of loss can be estimated.  We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable.  Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

During the ordinary course of the Company’s business, it is subject to various claims and litigation. Management believes that the outcome of such claims or litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation.  Such reclassifications are immaterial to both current and all previously issued financial statements taken as a whole and had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

Going concern

As of June 30, 2013, the Company has sustained operating losses of approximately $2,543,000 since inception.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations, and / or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and / or other third parties.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management began a new business model after divesting the prior business component in 2011. On September 28, 2011, Guoning entered into an agreement with a new customer initiating the new business model - Energy Management Contract (“EMC”).  The EMC model focuses essentially on replacing customers’ current illumination equipment with energy effective LED lights and charges based on an agreed percentage of savings on monthly utility bills. Throughout the period ending June 30, 2013, the Company has added 99 additional customer contracts under this new business model. The Company management expects the EMC model will deliver additional customers in a systematic and orderly manner in the future. The Company is marketing this lease model to customers in a manner that will generate initial smaller contracts with the expectation of follow on orders for lights that recur with the same customer over time. In addition to addressing the market with its lease model, the Company is expanding its presence in the market via branch offices and distributorships. The Company expects these additional offices will add to the direct sales of LED lights in the market, as well as promoting the EMC business. The Company continues to explore combinations and/or partnerships with suppliers to become the ultimate distributor of LED lights in the commercial and other markets in China.

NOTE 8 – ADVANCES TO SUPPLIER

 

On September 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Joint Development, Customization and Equity Allocation Contract on LED Advertising Lamp (“Agreement”) with one of its suppliers to develop and produce the LED lighting sets on a collaborative basis. Under the Agreement, Guoning can order product units from the supplier with pre-agreed prices on a defined timeline of anticipated product acquisitions. Guoning shall prepay RMB 10,000,000 (approximately USD$1,629,000) in respect of production lamps to be produced in two equal installments, RMB 5,000,000 (approximately USD$815,000), on each of the signing day and after the total production exceeds 2,000 units. The RMB 10,000,000 deposit remains with the supplier and can only be applied upon future LED purchases greater than the first 200,000 units ordered. The supplier is obligated to provide product maintenance for free for five years and product change service if quality issues arise. In the warranty period, if the equipment is faulty, because of product quality issues, it is to be changed by the supplier without charge. The Agreement also provides that research and development expenses are spent by the supplier, and Guoning agreed to pay a mold fee of RMB 475,600 (approximately USD$77,000), which is recorded as accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Further, the supplier invested in, and subsequently granted to, Guoning, the product patent right, trademark right, software copyright and the domestic marketing exclusivity right. In consideration, an officer on behalf of the supplier will be granted 10 million shares prorated based on the total authorized shares of the Company when such patent rights are received by the supplier and then duly transferred to Guoning. In November 2012, the supplier has transferred those 12 approved patents to Guoning. The Company estimated that the transfer of shares, which will be transferred from a Company Officer out of shares the Officer owns and will not be shares issued by the Company,  would tentatively occur near the end of 2013.

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger on February 10, 2012, there were 50,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization of common stock to related parties of the Company’s founders and officers for no consideration and that was recognized as a discount on the common stock issued.  

 

On February 10, 2012, pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Merger, all of Greenpower BVI’s outstanding shares were acquired by the Company through the exchange of 10,000,000 shares of voting common stock of the Company for all the 50,000 outstanding shares of Greenpower BVI at an exchange ratio of 200 shares of the Company for each share of Greenpower BVI. After the Merger, the Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Currently, the Company has a total of 21,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

Pursuant to the contractual arrangements entered into by and between Guoning and Greenpower BVI, dated October 26, 2011, Greenpower BVI will provide consulting services and daily operational guidance and instructions to Guoning. Through these contractual arrangements, Greenpower BVI will have the ability to substantially influence Guoning’s daily operations and financial affairs and will be able to appoint the senior members of management. Greenpower BVI is considered the primary beneficiary of Guoning and thus consolidates its results in its consolidated financial statements. Greenpower BVI does not have any equity interest in Guoning, but instead has the right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through its Contractual Arrangements with Guoning.

As a result, the equity interest from Guoning was recognized as paid-in-capital upon consolidation in the amount of $2,572,503 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, a capital injection of $143,497 was received from the Chairman of Guoning for funding the Company’s operations.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with Management ’ s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Those statements in the following discussion that are not historical in nature should be considered to be forward looking statements that are inherently uncertain.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Report are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements of Greenpower International Group Limited ("we", "us", "our," or the "Company") to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions of the continuing expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately, and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, other than as required by law. In light of these assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur and actual results and events may vary significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 Overview

Greenpower International Group Limited (the "Company," “We,” or “Us.”), formerly Boxwood Acquisition Corporation, was incorporated on April 20, 2011 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company was formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has transitioned from a development stage company to a commercialized entity. The Company has developed several revenue sources and is seeking to expand upon those sources going forward.

On February 10, 2012, the Company effected the acquisition of Greenpower International Group Limited of British Virgin Islands (“Greenpower BVI”) through the exchange of 10,000,000 shares of voting common stock of Company for all the 50,000 outstanding shares of Greenpower BVI at an exchange ratio of 200 shares of the Company for each share of Greenpower BVI (the "Acquisition"). Greenpower BVI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on September 16, 2011. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has taken over the operations and business plan of Greenpower BVI, which has management and voting control over Shenzhen Guoning New Energy Investment Co., Ltd, an operating Chinese company that serves as an electrical-use manager and LED lights distributor in China (“Guoning”), through a variable investment entity ("VIE") structure pursuant to contractual agreements dated October 26, 2011 and subsequently strengthened in February 2012.

The Company is in the business of energy management, with the primary objective of commercializing highly efficient energy-saving LED lighting products and services. The Chinese government is sponsoring tax and other government incentives for companies to enter into energy management contracts (“EMC”). A typical EMC is an agreement whereby an industrial business or large user of electricity hires a company to manage their electrical use. The Company presently focuses on entering into EMCs with outdoor advertising (billboard) companies, essentially replacing the traditional lights on the outdoor advertising with LED lights. The Company receives a share of the reduction in the electrical bill received by the customer. A total of 100 agreements have been entered into as of the date hereof and physical property has been purchased, designed and installed in regard to such business. Further, these contracts are delivering the contractually agreed upon lease payments and income to the Company. Furthermore, the Company also sells LED bulbs and light sets to consumers and businesses via direct sales or wholesale to other retailers and distributors.

The Company entered into its first contract for EMC services in 2011. During fiscal year 2012, and subsequently in 2013,  the Company has successfully added many other EMC contracts, and as of the date of this Report has approximately 100 EMC agreements in effect. Because the EMC service contract model is a new concept that was just recently introduced to the marketplace, the market has limited history and there is no long-term track record upon which to project future  performance.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of our financial statements under the Financial Statements section “Note 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES”, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid an investor in fully understanding and evaluating this discussion and analysis:

Use of estimates - Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605 from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Returns and exchanges require approval from senior management and are on a case-by-case basis. We review and estimate the rates of return and exchange based on historical data and customer specific experience.  Historically, returns and exchanges have been insignificant. The majority of our revenues are derived from the following three sources. Our revenue recognition policies vary based upon these revenue sources:

Sales of products  Most of our products are shipped directly to the customer at FOB Destination. Revenue is recognized when product is delivered to the customer, when all delivery documents have been signed by the receiving customer, and ownership has passed to the customer. We consider the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.

Investment in direct financing lease  The Company’s leasing operations consist primarily of leasing LED lights in connection with our EMC business.  The LED lights are leased under five to six year direct finance leases. We use the direct financing method of accounting to record income from direct financing leases. At the inception of our leases, we record the net investment in leases, which consists of the sum of the minimum lease payments, initial direct costs, and unguaranteed residual value (gross investment) less the unearned income. The difference between the gross investment and the cost of the leased equipment is recorded as unearned income at the inception of the lease.

Revenue for direct financing leases is recognized as the unearned income is amortized over the life of the lease using the effective interest method. The amortization of unearned income is a component of lease revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. We review our direct financing lease arrangements for credit risk. Such review includes consideration of the credit rating and financial position of the lessee. Generally, when a lease is more than 90 days delinquent (when more than three monthly payments are owed), the lease is classified as being on non-accrual and the Company stops recognizing leasing income on that date. Payments received on leases in non-accrual status generally reduce the lease receivable. Leases on non-accrual status remain classified as such until there is sustained payment performance that, in our judgment, would indicate that all contractual amounts will be collected in full.

We defer initial direct costs incurred to originate leases in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The initial direct costs deferred are part of the investment in leasing operations and are amortized to leasing income using the interest method. Initial direct costs include commissions and costs associated with credit evaluation, recording guarantees and other security arrangements, documentation and transaction closing. Residual values reflect the estimated amounts to be received at lease termination from lease extensions, sales or other dispositions of leased equipment. The leased equipment residual values are based on management’s best estimate.

 

21

Commission  From time to time the Company facilitates the sale of products to markets both inside and outside of China. As such, the Company recognizes contractually agreed revenue based upon the delivery of products to an end user customer. Revenue from these types of agreements is recognized when the transaction is substantially finished and upon receipt of the commission payment, net of any related cost.  

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. The Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory aging analyses. The Company writes down the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventory inherited from the prior entity of Guoning was fully reserved in the prior year.

Foreign currency translation - The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of Guoning is the local currency, RMB. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of Guoning are translated into United States dollars (“USD”) in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity.  Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The exchange rates in effect as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1629 and USD $0.1605, respectively. The average exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1616 and USD $0.1582, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cumulative translation adjustment of $19,493 and $12,635, respectively, was classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.  There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to United States dollars after the balance sheet date.

Net revenue for the three months ending June 30, 2013 was $437,272 compared with $58,142 for the three months ending June 30, 2012. The increase in revenue is a result of the successful expansion of Company’s business in the China market. The net revenue for the period ending June 30, 2013 and 2012 includes revenue from the Company ’ s leasing services in EMC business and sales of light products.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $237,438, compared to $4,882 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. All costs are relevant to sales of light products.

The increase in selling expenses in the period ending June 30, 2013 was due to expansion of the market requiring more expenses to obtain selling opportunities. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ending June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $214,800 and $300,123, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased due to the higher cost from the initial registration filing incurred in 2012.

 Interest expense was $56,226 and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company began to obtain various short term borrowings from external sources since second half of 2012 and higher debt level in the second quarter of 2013.

The significant increase of approximately $269,000 or 99% in selling expense was primarily due to the Company’s investment in expansion of the market. General and administrative expenses for the six months ending June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $512,937 and $813,746, respectively, a decrease of approximately $301,000 or 37%. The main reason for the decrease was attributable to the higher costs from the initial registration filing incurred in 2012.

The Company recognized government grants received in the first half of 2013 as governmental subsidies revenue, amounted to $242,384, after reasonable assurance that the Company has complied with all conditions attached to the grant. No such grant was received in the same period of 2012. Interest expense was $65,107 and zero for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company began to obtain various short term borrowings from external sources since second half of 2012 and higher debt level in the first half of 2013.    

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Our cash and cash equivalents were $40,885 as of June 30, 2013, compared to $37,037 as of December 31, 2012, an increase of approximately $4,000 or 10%. The main reason for the increase was due to the significant inflow of net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2013. A summary of cash flows for the reporting period is as follows:   

[page21to32006.gif]

 

Cash flows used in operating activities were $2,202,038 during the first half of 2013, as compared to $815,952 in the prior year. The significant increase of approximately $1,386,000 or 170% in the use of cash was resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily from the increase in prepayment to suppliers for purchase of inventory, lease payment receivable and unearned income, and the decrease in accounts payable.

 

23

 

Cash used in investing activities was $437 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $7,755 in the prior year. Cash flows in investing activities came from purchase of equipment during each period.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $2,201,707 in 2013, compared to $719,415 in the prior year. In addition to proceeds from related parties, our financing in 2013 majorly came from short term borrowings obtained from various external sources. See Note 9 and 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2013, we had working capital deficit of approximately $2,201,000. Since 2011, our working capital has continued to decline as a result of continuing losses from operations. In order to maintain our current level of operations, we will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations or from the sale of our equity or debt securities. If we are unable to acquire additional working capital, we will be required to significantly reduce our current level of operations. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 states that due to our losses from operations and lack of working capital there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company expects to generate additional revenues through its EMC business model. Together with revenue from LED bulbs and light set sales, as well as commission income, the Company expects to provide increased liquidity. The Company expects to review strategic partnerships and additional sources of financing as part of the solution for increased liquidity. However, there can be no guarantees that such funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and operating results will be adversely affected.   

Commitment – Issuance of Common Stock

 

Pursuant to a Joint Development, Customization and Equity Allocation Contract on LED Advertising Lamp (“Agreement”) with one supplier, dated September 25, 2011, the Company is obligated to grant up to 10 million shares, prorated based on the total outstanding common shares of the Company (of a 2% ratio, 10,000,000 of the 500,000,000 authorized), to an officer of the supplier for all product patent rights, trademark rights, software copyright and the domestic marketing exclusivity rights applied by the supplier and subsequently granted to Guoning.  In November 2012, the supplier transferred those 12 approved patents to Guoning. Since there are 21,000,000 shares of common stock currently outstanding, the Company is obligated to issue 420,000 shares to the supplier. The understanding with the supplier requires not issuance of new shares but transfer of existing shares held by the Chairman. The Company estimates that the transfer/issuance of shares would tentatively occur near the end of 2013. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Certain Risks Related to Our Business

The Company’s revenues to date from its new LED business are still insufficient .

The Company has begun to generate increased revenues to date from its new LED business. However, the Company’s revenues are still insufficient to meet the Company’s operational and capital needs. Specifically, the Company’s EMC business model requires the Company to make a capital investment in each contract and the Company’s revenues have not to date been sufficient to meet its needs.  

 

25

 

The Company’s independent auditors have issued a report raising a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In their audited financial report, the company’s independent auditors have issued a comment that unless the Company is able to develop and market its products and thereby increase cash flow, or obtain financing from other sources, there is a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  

No assurance of commercial feasibility or success.

If the Company can successfully develop a strategy to market and sell its products or services, there can be no assurance that such products or services will have any commercial advantages. Also, there is no assurance that the products will perform as intended in the marketplace or that the Company’s sales and marketing strategy will be successful.

The Company has limited operating history since commencing its new LED business

Because the Company has limited operating history in its new LED or EMC business, it is impossible  to assess the performance of the Company or to determine whether the Company will meet its projected business plan. The Company has limited financial results upon which to judge its potential. As a development stage company, the Company may in the future experience under-capitalization, shortages, setbacks and many of the problems, delays and expenses encountered by any early stage business.

Various Risks of Deconsolidation with Guoning, No Material Assets other than Guoning

The entities comprising the Company have no material assets or revenues other than from Guoning. Aside from Guoning, the Company will not regularly maintain sizeable assets or generate consistent revenues (other than from Guoning, via the VIE Agreements with Guoning, or indirectly, as a seller of Guoning's products).  Because of the nature of this relationship and the associated risk, the Company is exposed to the uncertainties and risks that the Company may not be able to secure or  recover assets of the Company in the event of a deconsolidation with Guoning.   There is also the risk associated with Guoning’s and its shareholders’ nonperformance of the contractual agreements which tie the two companies together.

The Company has little experience in commercializing products.

The Company has little experience in commercializing products and managing a public company. Such lack of experience may result in the Company experiencing difficulty in adequately operating and growing its business. Further, the Company may be hampered by lack of experience in addressing the issues and considerations which are common to growing product companies. If the Company’s operating or management abilities consistently perform below expectations, the Company’s business is unlikely to thrive. In addition, the Company’s lack of experience may result in difficulty in managing the operations and finances of a public company.

EMC is still a new model and remains broadly untested.

While the Company believes (in its own judgment) that the EMC business and service model holds promise, the model is still not firmly established in the marketplace. It is possible that customers may not adopt this model and/or the Company’s service offering. In addition, there is an inherent customer risk involved in the EMC model, in that customers may not be able to pay on time or may go bankrupt, resulting in prolonged capital recovery times and/or the possibility of contracts being discontinued. Furthermore, changes to government policy in China (or other applicable jurisdictions) may result in losses or reductions of EMC projects and business.

 

26

 

The Company may not be able to adequately track energy usage metrics under its EMC contracts.

The long-term success and viability of the EMC programs depends to a great degree on the ability of the Company to track and monitor usage, and perform audits where necessary. If the Company is unable to perform such tracking or has systems and processes in effect that make such tracking auditing difficult, the EMC business may be difficult for the Company to effectively manage. The inability to perform reliable tracking and/or auditing may stem from inaccurate energy measurements, customer fraud or error in setting measurement counts, and calculation errors made in computing usage and/or pricing metrics.

The Company may not accurately assess baseline energy amounts or unforeseen circumstances may render baseline forecast outdated or obsolete

In its EMC customer agreements, the Company plans to derive revenues based on energy savings achieved over baseline amounts calculated by the Company. Typically, the Company uses formulas to measure energy conservation from projects. A major part of these formulas involve measuring energy data through measuring lamps by power testers and illuminometers. Testing of energy usage is conducted by Guoning and its customer in accordance with current prevailing standards of power measurement. Once the measurement is performed, both parties sign the agreement attesting the energy saving rate. If the Company improperly estimates baseline amounts or if energy costs, usage or other external factors result in a customer not achieving energy savings, the Company may not receive revenues from such customer even though the Company has attempted in good faith to perform the contract with the customer. For example, the Company and/or customer may make a calculation error in setting the baseline value amount from which the energy savings are calculated. In addition, even with accurate baseline computations, substantial fluctuations in the price of energy or in the use of energy may drive the baseline forecast to be less accurate. Also, equipment errors or inadequacies may result in the entire baseline reading being inaccurate.  

The EMC model is a contingent compensation model that links the Company’s fees and compensation to achievement of energy savings in the future.

The EMC model is a contingent compensation model in that the Company typically earns fees based on performance in future periods. If energy savings are not achieved, whether due to reasons in the Company’s control or external factors, the Company may not receive compensation (or may receive compensation less than expected) and ultimately may not be profitable even though it has entered into customer contracts in the EMC line of business.

Reliance on third party agreements and relationships is necessary for development of the Company's business.

The Company will need strategic partners and third party relationships in order to develop and grow its business. The Company will be substantially dependent on these strategic partners and third party relationships. The loss of any strategic partnership(s) or supplier(s) could materially and seriously harm the Company. For example, the loss of the relationship with the Company’s manufacturer would be a significant setback for the Company.

Unregistered Affiliates and Showrooms Create a Potential for Risk

Although currently all operational affiliate locations are registered appropriately under PRC law, if such registrations were to lapse or be invalidated, and the affiliates continue to operate in such status the Company could face potential fines or penalties under PRC law. If the showrooms were to operate without appropriate registration, the Company could face fines and penalties under PRC law.     

The Company’s executive officers and directors beneficially own and will continue to own a significant amount of the Company’s common stock and, as a result, can exercise control over stockholder and corporate actions.

 

The Company’s executive officers and directors are currently the beneficial owner of approximately 81% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  Assuming the  sale of all 11,000,000 shares offered for sale in  a concurrent registered public offering which has  been filed but is not yet effective, , the Company’s officers and directors would still  own 39% of the Company's outstanding common stock. As such, in any event they will be able to exercise significant control over most matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock or prevent stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their Shares.

 

27

 

Government regulation could negatively impact the business.

 

The Company’s products may be subject to various government regulations in the jurisdictions in which they will operate. Due to the potential wide geographic scope of the Company’s operations, the Company could be subject to regulation by political and regulatory entities throughout the PRC, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions, and various other foreign governments and political subdivisions thereof. The Company may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. The Company’s operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry..

The Company’s stock may be considered a penny stock and any investment in the Company’s stock will be considered a high-risk investment and subject to restrictions on marketability.

 

If the Shares commence trading, and there is no certainty that they will, the trading price of the Company's common stock will likely be below $5.00 per share. If the price of the common stock is below such level, trading in its common stock would be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades generally involving any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such rules require the delivery, before any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must determine the suitability of the penny stock for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transactions before sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Company’s common stock which could impact the liquidity of the Company’s common stock.

The Company may face significant competition from companies that serve its industries.

 

The Company may face competition from other companies that offer similar products, ranging from local suppliers to large multinational manufacturers and companies. Some of these potential competitors may have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger client bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company does. These advantages may enable such competitors to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer preferences. These advantages may also allow them to engage in more extensive research and development, undertake extensive far-reaching marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential customers, employees and strategic partners. It is possible that potential competitors may have or may rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margin and loss of market share. The Company may not be able to compete successfully, and competitive pressures may adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company may have limited ability to control product quality and deliver times as the manufacturing of products in controlled by a third party.

 

The Company employs an outsourced manufacturing model and is heavily dependent upon third-party manufacturers in order to produce products. Accordingly, in the event that the manufacturer encounters delay or difficulty in making products, the Company will have limited ability to control the actual ability of the manufacturing, and consequently, may be limited in its ability to set the ultimate product timelines and quality standards for its customers.

The intellectual property protection of the Company may be inadequate.

 

The Company’s intellectual property rights in its products are based on the contractual agreement between Guoning and its partner (Dongguan). Dongguan has applied for certain patents in the PRC. There can be no assurance that the Company can obtain effective protection against unauthorized duplication or the introduction of substantially similar products or that existing trade secret or other intellectual property protection (if any) adequately protects (and will continue to protect) the Company.

The Company is subject to the potential factors of obsolescence and technological change.

The business of the Company is susceptible to rapidly changing technology and the Company's market development and sales process is subject to constant change. Although the Company intends to continue to market and sell its products and services, there can be no assurance that funds for such expenditures will be available or that the Company's competition will not develop similar or superior capabilities or that the Company will be successful in its internal efforts. The future success of the Company will depend in part on its ability to respond effectively to rapidly changing technologies, industry standards and customer requirements by adapting and improving the performance features, pricing and reliability of its offered products and services. In particular, the Company may be exposed to a significant risk of novel products and technologies from competitors to address the expected growth and demand in the worldwide energy-saving sector.

 

28

 

 

The Company’s inability to obtain capital, use internally generated cash, or use shares of the Company’s common stock or debt to finance future expansion efforts could impair the growth and expansion of the Company’s business.

 

Reliance on internally generated cash or debt to finance the Company’s operations or complete business expansion efforts could substantially limit the Company’s operational and financial flexibility. The extent to which the Company will be able or willing to use shares of common stock to consummate expansions will depend on the Company’s market value from time to time and the willingness of potential sellers to accept it as full or partial payment.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary capital to finance a successful expansion program or the Company’s other cash needs. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of any expansion.

The Company’s growth and profitability depend on the level of economic conditions and other factors in China.

 

The domestic and international political environments, including military conflicts and political turmoil and social instability, may also adversely affect consumer confidence and reduce spending, which could in turn materially and adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. Any geographic expansion efforts that the Company undertake may not be successful, which, in turn, would limit the Company’s growth opportunities.

The Company’s Pledge Agreements by Guoning Shareholders Involve Risks

 

The Pledge Agreements by Guoning are now registered with the appropriate VIE approval authorities. While applicable PRC laws and regulations that apply to the validity of these agreements do not invalidate the agreements due to non-registration, there may be risks arising from the period in which these agreements were not previously registered. Although the Pledge Agreements must be registered with the proper approval authorities in order to be enforceable by PRC Court, the failure to register them does not affect the validity or the effectiveness of the underlying agreement. An inherent risk of the Pledge Agreement, even if registered and enforceable, is that if a breach occurred, the Company would be forced to resort to legal action to enforce the Pledge Agreement and would be exposed to the risk that it may not be able to successfully enforce its contractual rights. If unsuccessful, the Company assets underlying the Pledge would be submitted to the PRC Auction process and would risk being outbid at the PRC Public Auction; in such a situation, the Company’s interests may be lost completely.   

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit the Company’s ability to utilize the Company’s capital effectively.

 

All of the Company’s revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under the “current account”, which includes dividends, trade, and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans.

Currently, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries may purchase foreign exchange for settlement of “current account transactions,” and retain foreign exchange in its current account, subject to a ceiling approved by the SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. The Company cannot, however, assure you that the relevant PRC governmental authorities will not limit or eliminate the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ abilities to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future.

Since a significant amount of the Company’s future revenues will be denominated in Renminbi, the existing and any future restrictions on currency exchange may limit the Company’s ability to utilize capital generated in Renminbi to fund the Company’s business activities outside of China, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies.

 

29

 

Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account are subject to limitations and require registration with or approval by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. In particular, if the Company finances the Company’s PRC subsidiaries by foreign currency loans, those loans cannot exceed certain statutory limits and must be registered with the SAFE, and if the Company finance the Company’s PRC subsidiaries by capital contributions, then those capital contributions must be approved by the Ministry Of Commerce or its local agency. In addition, because of the regulatory issues related to foreign currency loans to, and foreign investment in, domestic PRC enterprises, the Company may not be able to finance Guoning’s operations by loans or capital contributions. The Company cannot assure you that the Company can obtain these governmental registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all. These limitations could affect the ability of these entities to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, and could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial conditions.

Fluctuation in the value of the Renminbi may reduce the value of the Company’s investment.

 

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China's political and economic conditions and China's foreign exchange policies. The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on exchange rates set by the People's Bank of China. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi solely to the U.S. dollar. Under this revised policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. Following the removal of the U.S. dollar peg, the Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. The People's Bank of China, however, regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to limit fluctuations in Renminbi exchange rates and achieve policy goals. For almost two years after July 2008, the Renminbi traded within a narrow range against the U.S. dollar. As a consequence, the Renminbi fluctuated significantly during that period against other freely traded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. In June 2010, the PRC government announced that it would increase Renminbi exchange rate flexibility. It remains unclear, though, how this flexibility might be implemented. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.

Because all of the Company’s revenues and expenditures are denominated in Renminbi, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would affect the Company’s financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in the Company’s business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend the Company issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from and the value of any U.S. dollar-denominated investments the Company make in the future.

To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends, and no cash dividends are expected to be paid in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Company’s common stock in the foreseeable future, and the Company may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if the funds are legally available for distribution, the Company may nevertheless decide not to pay any dividends. The Company intends to retain all earnings for the Company’s operations.  

 There is no trading market for the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s stockholders may be unable to liquidate their shares.

 

The Company has never had an active trading market for the Company’s common stock, and one may not develop

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Company has issued the following securities in the last three (3) years. All such securities were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, as noted below. Each of these transactions was issued as part of a private placement of securities by the Company in which (i) no general advertising or solicitation was used, and (ii) the investors purchasing securities were acquiring the same for investment purposes only, without a view to resale.
