RELIANCE ON SEC ORDER

Victory Commercial Management Inc., or the Company, is filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, or the Quarterly Report, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC, Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465).

As set forth in the Company’s Form 8-K furnished to the SEC on May 4, 2020, the Company was unable to file the Quarterly Report within the prescribed time period because, as a result of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, the Company was unable to mobilize fully the internal personnel necessary to complete the disclosures in its Quarterly Report. Dalian, Liaoning, China and New York City, New York, U.S., where the Company’s corporate headquarter and operations are currently located, are both adversely affected by COVID-19. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its staff for the past several weeks, including the temporary suspension of its business activities and having staff work remotely, and, as a result, the Quarterly Report was not completed by the filing deadline, due to insufficient time to facilitate the internal and external review process.

VICTORY COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Organization

Victory Commercial Management Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “VCM”, and where appropriate, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” are also referred to VCM and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries) was incorporated on July 5, 2017 under the laws of Nevada.

On July 13, 2017, VCM formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Victory Commercial Investment Ltd. (“VCI”) under the laws of British Virgin Islands.

Sino Pride Development Limited (“Sino Pride”) is a Hong Kong company, incorporated on May 26, 1989. Sino Pride is a holding company that directly owns an 80% equity interest in Dalian Victory Plaza Development Co., Ltd. (“DVPD”) and directly owns a 95% equity interest in Dalian Victory Business Management Co., Ltd. (“DVBM”).

DVPD was incorporated as a Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture on March 29, 1993 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Sino Pride owns 80% equity interest of DVPD while Dalian Victory Development Co., Limited (“DVDC”), a state-owned enterprise in China, owns a 20% equity interest in DVPD.

DVBM was incorporated as a joint venture on September 12, 2000 under the laws of the PRC. Sino Pride owns a 95% equity interest in DVBM and DVPD owns a 5% equity interest in DVBM.

Dalian Victory Property Management Co., Ltd. (“DVPM”) was incorporated on June 6, 2018 as limited liability company under the laws of the PRC. Sino Pride owns 100% of the equity of DVPM. DVPM was formed as a property management company and will play a similar role as DVBM to improve the management of Victory Plaza. DVPM has not commenced operations.

Iven International Group Limited, is a company registered in Hong Kong (“Iven”). From October 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, Alex Brown beneficially owned 100% of Iven, among which, a 70% equity interest was held directly, and a 30% equity interest was held indirectly through Dalian Yiwen New Materials Technology Development Co., Ltd, a PRC entity 80% owned by Alex Brown and 20% owned by his spouse. On June 30, 2017, Alex Brown and Dalian Yiwen New Material Technology Development Co., Ltd transferred their respective ownership of Iven to Winner Ascent Investment Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company solely owned by Alex Brown.

Victory Plaza Holding Limited, (“VP Holding”) a BVI company, is the original owner of Sino Pride. VP Holding incurred significant losses from the operations of Sino Pride and its subsidiaries DVPD and DVBM. VP Holding and Sino Pride had no relationship or affiliation with us or Alex Brown prior to the corporate restructuring.

November 30, 2016 Transaction

In November 2016, Iven entered and executed an agreement of “Assignment of Common Stock and Debt Rights” (“the Original Agreement”) with VP Holding, the former shareholder of Sino pride. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, Iven acquired all 30,000,000 shares of common stock of Sino Pride then outstanding and assumed a shareholder loan and loan interest totaling $52,750,000 (Sino Pride owed to VP Holding) for a nominal consideration of HK$1 (approximately $0.13) from VP Holding. Change of ownership in Sino Pride from VP Holding to Iven had no impact on Sino Pride’s ownership in DVPD and DVBM (operating entities).

Iven was a private shell company with no operations and with nominal assets, which is 100% directly and indirectly owned by Mr. Brown. Iven was the legal acquirer in the November 30, 2016 acquisition. At the date of acquisition, Sino Pride was a holding company of two Chinese base operating entities, DVPD and DVBM. The accounting acquirer usually is the combining entity whose relative size (measured in, for example, assets, revenues, or earnings) is significantly larger than that of the other combining entity or entities as per Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 805-10-55-13. Thus, Sino Pride and Subsidiaries were treated as the accounting acquirer in connection with the November 2016 transaction.

The November 2016 transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition or recapitalization. The accounting is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets should be recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Sino Pride and its Subsidiaries.

5

September 4, 2017 Transaction

On September 4, 2017, VCI signed an agreement of “Assignment of All Outstanding Shares and All Debt Rights Agreement” (“the Agreement”) with Iven. Pursuant to the Agreement, VCI acquired all 30,000,000 shares of common stock of Sino Pride then outstanding and assumed shareholder debt and loan rights totaling HK$ 493,807,633 (approximately $64,208,000) (Sino Pride owed to VP Holding) including an outstanding shareholder loan of HK$ 408,409,628 (approximately $53,093,000) for a nominal consideration of HK$ 1 (approximately $0.13) from Iven. The change of ownership in Sino Pride from Iven to VCI had no impact on Sino Pride’s ownership in DVPD and DVBM (operating entities).

Iven and VCI were under common control of our controlling shareholder. The transfer of ownership in Sino Pride from Iven to VCI is a part of the corporate restructuring to prepare the Company to list in the U.S. capital markets.

The Company accounted for the September 2017 transaction as a transaction between entities under common control based on guidance provided by FASB ASC 805-50-25. Following the above transactions, VCI gained control over Sino Pride and its subsidiaries, and, as a result, VCM gained control over VCI, Sino Pride and its Subsidiaries.

The Company together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, VCI, Sino Pride and majority owned subsidiaries, DVBM and DVPM were effectively controlled by the same shareholder, Mr. Brown before and after the September 2017 corporate restructuring, and is considered under common control, which has been accounted for similar to the pooling method of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the current corporate structure had been in existence at the beginning of the periods presented. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Sino Pride and its Subsidiaries.

Segment Information

The Company and its subsidiaries generate most of the income from rental and building management services. The Company manages one shopping center currently. Geographically, all income is generated from Dalian, China.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As indicated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,424,462 and $1,665,932 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively; and accumulated deficit of $205,782,751 at March 31, 2020. The Company believes that if there is no additional investment or financing, the current cash balance available to the Company or its projected cash balance for the next 18 months will be insufficient to cover the required payments of the operating expenses arising from normal business operations and to meet the required payments of buy-backs and lease-backs if settled with the claims filed by the property owners during next 18 months from the issuance date of this report.

In light of our current operating state, management cannot provide assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive in a short period of time. Management believes that with its current capital resources, it will be very difficult to continue operating and maintaining its business for the next 18 months from the issuance date of this report.

As of March 31, 2020, we had total outstanding loans payable to Harbin Bank (the “Bank”) of $65,632,141. As of the date of this report, we are in default of three loans with the Bank in the aggregate amount of approximately $7.5 million. These loans are secured by certain assets of the Company. The Company is currently in discussion with the Bank to convert the existing loans into a new loan and apply for an additional liquidity loan in RMB 50 million (collectively, the “Refinancing Loans”) and waive the penalty of late payment of related loan interest (“Penalty Waiver”). However, there is no assurance or certainty that such Refinancing Loans or Penalty Waiver will be approved by the Bank. In the event that the Bank rejects our Refinancing Loans and/or commence any legal proceeding against us, we may lose our collateralized assets which will cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Furthermore, if the collateral on those loans cannot satisfy our payment obligation, we may be forced to commence liquidation process if we do not have sufficient liquidity or cannot raise sufficient fund at that time, if any at all.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had property financing agreements payable of $74,380,091, lease liabilities payable of $480,748, expired lease-back payables of $5,422,041, and buy-back payables of $4,071,516. As of March 31, 2020, there were 566 lawsuits case against the Company in Dalian City, China. Litigants claimed that the Company did not buy back the property pursuant to the sales contract or the Company did not pay the promised lease-back rent on time. These claims amounted to $24,362,934 (RMB 172,969,527 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate). These payables were included in and reported under the caption of “Property financing agreements payable”, “Lease liabilities” and “Other payables”. In connection with the progress of these cases, the Company accrued $4,650,313 for possible extra litigation charges. The Company records attorney fees when invoiced.

These lawsuits are mostly caused by the failure of DVPD who fails to buy back the properties when requested to or to pay rents for certain lease-back stores. Subsequently, certain stores owned by DVPD have been frozen from transfer or disposition by the courts. DVPD has been prohibited from free transfer, disposal, and pledge of its equity interest in DVBM which accounts for 5% in DVBM from March 2, 2017 to March 1, 2019. The 5% equity interest in DVBM is still restricted currently as of the issuing date of this report. In addition, DVPD has been listed as a “dishonest debtor” by the local courts in the PRC. Once listed as a dishonest debtor, DVPD can be subject to certain restrictions in connection with commercial loans at the banks’ discretion; the purchase or transfer of properties and land use rights; and upgrade or renovation of properties. In addition, the bank accounts of DVPD are frozen by the courts which allow the inflow of cash to its bank accounts but prohibit the outflow of cash. The Company has been working actively to resolve these lawsuits since we acquired Sino Pride in November 2016. However, the company cannot guarantee that all litigation cases can be solved in the future or no new litigation cases will be generated.

Management believes that the recorded total property financing agreements payable, buy-backs payable, lease-back liabilities payable and expired lease payable liabilities of $89,004,709 is a reasonable estimation.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, an additional capital injection and/or additional financing and the continued forbearance of its lender not to foreclose on their loans that are in default. Management’s plans to obtain such fund for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its stock (2) short-term and long-term borrowings from banks and third-parties, and (3) short-term borrowings from stockholders or other related parties when needed.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, our DVPD operations in Dalian remained closed from January 25, 2020 until March 5, 2020, which has adversely affected our operating revenues and cash flow in the first quarter of 2020. Moreover, after reopening of the shopping mall, we have fewer shoppers and tenants in the shopping mall due to the continued effect of COVID-19, we cannot predict the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business or operating results, which is highly dependent on inherently uncertain future developments, including the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses in relation to COVID-19 containment. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operations, there can be no assurance that we could generate sufficient revenues to become profitable.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and/or classification of the recorded asset amounts and or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2020.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements for interim periods.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VCM, VCI, Sino Pride, DVPD, DVBM, and DVPM. All inter-company accounts and transactions among the consolidation group have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation.

7

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the liabilities recorded for financial agreements payable, buy-backs payable, lease back liabilities payable, expired lease payables and the estimated liability accrued for additional litigation charges related to the numerous lawsuits. Other estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts on tenant receivables and other receivables, recoverability of long-lived assets, the useful life of rental properties, property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of VCM and VCI is the U.S. dollar, the functional currency of DVPD, DVBM, and DVPM is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), and the functional currency of Sino Pride is the Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”). The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30 “Translation of Financial Statements”. The financial information is first prepared in RMB or HK$ and then is translated into the U.S. dollar at the period-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and at average exchange rates as to revenue, expenses and cash flows. Equity accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into the U.S. dollar are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $551,459 and $(2,242,729), respectively. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Pursuant to paragraph 830-20-35-1, the intra-entity (intercompany transactions) foreign currency transactions whose terms are denominated in the currency other than the Company’s functional currency and settlement is anticipated in the foreseeable future (hence not long-term investment nature), the increases or decreases in expected functional currency cash flows are included in determining net income (loss) for the period in which the exchange rate changes. The Company has an inter-company loan denominated in US dollars. The repayment of the loan is required when the Company is profitable. The loan proceeds, repayment and accrued interest were tracked in US dollars. The Company uses the bank spot exchange rate to record proceeds and repayments in RMB. By the end of the reporting period, the Company will adjust loan and interest payable balances from US dollars to RMB by using the period ending exchange rate. Any gain or loss from foreign currency exchange will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. There were $458,367 foreign currency transaction loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $542,730 gain for the three months ended 2019.

Spot exchange rates and average exchange rates published by fxtop.com were used in the translation of the consolidated financial statements.

	March 31,		March 31,		December 31,
US Exchange Rate	2020		2019		2019

Revenue Recognition

Rental Income

Our Victory Plaza currently has 3,173 rental units. Among these rental properties, the Company owned 433 units, 814 units were sold but with buy-back options, and 1,926 units were sold with no repurchase options. The Company will lease back some of these sold properties and rent them out to tenants. All contracts include a lease and contain information on rental income and payment term. Rental income is reported in the gross amount including rent income from our owned properties and lease-back properties. A predominately majority of the rental income comes from our owned properties and a very limited portion, estimated at less than 3%, from the lease-back properties. Existing lease-back expenses were recorded as amortization and interest expenses. Expired lease-back expenses were included in the lease-back expenses.

The Company recognizes the rental income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. The cumulative differences between rental income recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and contractual payment terms have been recorded as deferred rental income and presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Property Management Fee Income

We currently provide common area management services to all tenants and shop owners. Common area management services include security, cleaning, fire service, landscaping, public facilities maintenance and other traditional services provided by a property management office. The terms of the property management agreements are usually consistent with the tenants’ lease term. Property management fees are charged based on the area of property ranging from $15 to $19 per square foot per annum.

Since the performance obligations in the property management agreement are identical with the terms of property management agreement, the Company recognizes the propriety management income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the management agreement. The cumulative differences between property management income recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and contractual payment terms have been recorded as deferred income and presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Expense Recovery

The Company will pay utility, repair and insurance expenses to third party vendors in order to fulfill its management obligations. The Company will charge all or part of these expenses to tenants in addition to property management fees. The charge will depend on the size of tenant and terms of property management agreement. The Company is acting as an agent to arrange for the provision of utilities, repairs and other services by third parties. The Company will recognize the fees collected as income after the Company’s service is provided. The recovered expenses will offset the income the Company is paid and be reported net under the caption of other income in accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Rental Properties

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvements of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. Improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the respective leases, if any. When rental properties are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

The following table summarized the ownership of rental properties.

			% of Total			Financial Statement Presentation
Group		Description of Property	SQ Ft			Assets	Liabilities
	(Unaudited)
A		Owned with title by DVPD		16	%	Rental properties	N/A
B		Sold properties with buy- back options or return is in process without paying off		9	%	Rental properties	Property financing agreements payable
C*		Properties with buy- back options transferred to SML in 2017 and 2018		6	%	Rental properties	Loan payable SML
D		Sold properties		69	%	N/A	N/A
		Total properties		100	%

Group A represents property that the Company owns 100%. Group B represents property we sold to individual owners with buy-back options which are pending. Group C represents property owned by SML, but the Company is still liable for the buy-back options. Pursuant to the SML Agreement, the Company is obligated to buy back these properties plus accrued interest no later than May 15, 2020. Group D presents property we sold to various individual owners without additional rights attached. Acknowledgingthe impact of COVID-19, on January 14,2020, the Company amended its agreement with SML to extend the original repayment date from May 15, 2020 to May 15, 2023.

Sold Rental Properties with Financing Agreements (Group B and C Properties)

Pursuant to the sales contracts, the buyers’ obtained legal title to the property and also had an option to sign a separate buy-back agreement. The purchase agreement granted the buyer an option to request the Company to buy back sold properties at a stated buy-back price once the option is vested and the Company has received the payments for the sold property. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 15% of total rental spaces of Victory Plaza were sold to various unrelated individuals and entities with buy-back options. The majority of these properties were sold during the period from 1998 to 2014. The vesting dates of the buy-back options ranged from 2014 to 2018.

Pursuant to FASB ASC 360-20-40-38, if a property seller has an obligation to repurchase the property, or the terms of the transaction allow the buyer to compel the seller or give an option to request the seller to repurchase the property, the transaction shall be accounted for as financing, lease, or profit-sharing arrangement rather than as a sale. It is aligned with FASB ASC 842-40-25-3, an option for the seller-lessee to repurchase the asset would preclude accounting for the transfer of the asset as a sale of the asset. The Company’s accounting policy is to treat this type of sales as a financing agreement. The Company continues to report its ownership of the property sold as an asset (within Rental Properties) and continues to depreciate the property based on the estimated useful lives. The Company recorded sales proceeds as “property financing agreements payable” in the consolidated financial statements and accrues the interest payable during the periods of the vesting. The interest rate is determined by the price spread of each unit’s sale price and buy-back price, and the time span from the date of sale to the maturity date (last date to execute the option). The Company will derecognize the liability when the Company purchases back the properties, or the owners of these properties have settled with the Company or gave up the buy-back options, or upon the expiration of the option if not exercised. If the settlement is greater than the book amount (including principal and interest), a loss will be recognized. If the amount of settlement is less than book amount (including principal and interest), a gain will be recognized. See Note 10, Property Financing Agreement Payable for further information.

Sold Properties (Group D Properties)

As of December 31, 2019, approximately 69% of the total space of Victory Plaza was sold and owned by various unrelated individuals and entities with legal title to the respective properties. Pursuant to the sale contracts, at the date of the sales, buyers obtained integrated legal ownership to the sold properties and assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the property (had the ability to rent and sell the property at-will) while the Company received the payments of the purchase price. These sales are considered final sales.

As part of our operations, the Company may from time to from lease back properties from the owners of Group D properties and subleases these properties to un-related third parties with new lease terms. As of March 31, 2020, there was no sublease from the owner of Group D properties. Sales and lease-back are two separate business transactions. Lease-back is at the owner’s will and is not a condition of sale. Lease-back could happen immediately after the sale of property or at any time after the sale if the owner of the property is interested in rental services provided by the Company.

Under FASB ASC Topic 842, a sale and lease-back arrangement will be accounted for as a sale if all of the following conditions are met: (i) control of the underlying asset is transferred to the buyer-lessor in accordance with the revenue recognition guidelines in FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (ii) the classification of the sublease is not a finance lease from the perspective of the lessee, or a sales-type lease from the perspective of the lessor, and (iii) there is no repurchase option.

All these lease-back arrangements met the above criteria and have been accounted for as a sale. The allocated net book value and land use rights were derecognized, and a gain or loss was recognized when each of the sales was completed.

Lessee Accounting

We have elected to early adopt FASB ASC Topic 842, the recent accounting update related to leases. FASB ASC 842 requires us to determine whether a contract is a lease or contains a lease at the inception of the contract, considering all relevant facts and circumstances. A contract is a lease or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise its option to extend the lease or not exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly, optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option.

A lease is classified as a finance lease when the lease meets any of the following criteria: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all (90% or more) of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease not classified as a finance lease is classified as an operating lease.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments to be paid as of lease commencement. Lease payments should be discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is initially measured as: (i) the lease liability determined, (ii) lease payments made to the lessor at or before lease commencement, minus lease incentives received from the lessor, and (iii) initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

A lessee will measure the lease liability by (a) accreting interest expense on the carrying value of the lease liability using the effective interest rate method, and (b) reducing the carrying value of the lease liability for lease payments made. A lessee will measure the right-of-use asset by amortizing that asset over the lease term. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis. The right-of-use asset will also be tested for impairment based on the asset impairment rules that apply to property, plant and equipment in FASB ASC Topic 360.

For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying assets not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lessor Accounting

The Company currently owns 433 rental units and leased these rental properties to various tenants. Pursuant to FASB ASC 842 – 30, the Company will classify a lease as a sales – type lease if: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all (90% or more) of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. As of March 31, 2020, none of our leases, as a lessor, met the above criteria to be classified as a sales–type lease.

Pursuant to FASB ASC 842 – 30, when none of the sales-type lease classification criteria are met, a lessor would classify the lease as a direct financing lease when both of the following criteria are met: (i) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments and/or any other third party unrelated to the lessor equals or exceeds substantially all (90% or more) of the fair value of the underlying asset and (ii) it is probable that the lessor will collect the lease payments plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee. As of March 31, 2020, none of our leases, as a lessor, met the above criteria to be classified as a financing lease.

Pursuant to FASB ASC 842 – 30, a lessor would classify a lease as an operating lease when none of the sales-type lease or direct financing lease classification criteria are met. As of March 31, 2020, all leases of the Company’s rental properties were classified as operating leases. The Company will maintain the underlying asset and recognizes lease income over the lease term.

Disposition of Real Estate and Real Estate Investments

Sales of real estate include operating properties and investments in real estate joint ventures. Gains from dispositions are recognized using the full accrual or partial sale methods, provided that the Company has met various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement. If the criteria for sales recognition or gain recognition are not met because of a form of continuing involvement, the accounting for such transactions is dependent on the nature of the continuing involvement. In certain cases, a sale might not be recognized, and in others all or a portion of the gain might be deferred.

Real Estate Held for Sale

The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when management believes that a sale is probable within a year. This generally occurs when a sales contract is executed with no substantive contingencies and the prospective buyer has significant funds at risk. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. The Company evaluated its property portfolio and did not identify any properties that would meet the criteria for held for sale as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with commercial banks within the PRC, Hong Kong and United States. The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash deposits required by the bank to be used for interest and loan repayments only.

Tenant and Sundry Receivables, net of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Tenant receivables are recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses, determined by reviewing past due balances and other information. The Company makes judgments as to the collectability of tenant receivables based on historical trends and future expectations. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts and adjusts gross tenant receivables downward based on their expectation of specific tenant risks and the Company’s tenant receivable aging and collection analysis. Management considers accounts past due on a tenant-by-tenant basis. Based on its review, management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 of $679,918 and $632,768, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes any incremental costs that are directly attributable to the construction or acquisition of the item of property and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major maintenance and remodeling costs are capitalized if they extend the useful life of the asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

When properties and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily rental properties and machinery and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the anticipated holding period and measures the impairment loss based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values or third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairment losses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

12

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs related to bank loans payable consist of fees and direct costs incurred in obtaining such financings. These costs are presented as a reduction of bank loans payable and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related loan payable which approximates the effective interest rate method. Such amortization is included in “Interest – loans” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, which amounted to $13,625 and $13,940 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Per Share Amounts

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share” (EPS) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects 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 Company, if any. This is computed by dividing net earnings by the combination of basic and dilutive common share equivalents. Since the Company is in a net loss position, all common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive and are, therefore, not included in the determination of diluted loss per share. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same. There were no common stock equivalents as of March 31, 2020 and 2019.

For the Three Months Ended March 31,	2020			2019
		(Unaudited)
Numerator for earnings per share:
Net (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholder	$	(1,974,402	)	$	(1,420,929	)
Denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share:
Basic and diluted weighted average common shares*		21,711,000			20,744,933

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest is classified as a separate line item in the equity section and disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This amount represents the 20% non-controlling interest in DVPD owned by DVDC.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows ASC 220-10, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” FASB ASC 220-10 requires the reporting of comprehensive income (loss) in addition to net income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) generally represents all changes in shareholders’ equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income (loss) reflects the gain (loss) due to foreign currency translation adjustments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 825-10-65, “Financial Instruments – Transition and Open Effective Date Information”. Although the estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in current market exchanges. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

13

Income Taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC, the Special Region of Hong Kong and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset/liability method prescribed by FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also provided for net operating loss carryforwards that can be used to offset taxable income in the future. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the Company’s financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarter or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure “(ASC 820) in measuring fair value and in disclosing fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. FASB ASC 820-10-35, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Subsequent Measurement (ASC 820-10-35), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurement reflects the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.

ASC 820-10-35 discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The statement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1 Inputs – Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities identical to those to be reported at fair value. An active market is a market in which transactions occur for the item to be fair valued with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 Inputs – Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1. Level 2 inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include: (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, such as when there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially over time or in which little information is released publicly; (c) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and (d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. These inputs should be used to determine fair value only when observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include internally generated data and assumptions being used to price the asset or liability.

When determining the fair value measurements for assets or liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at and/or marked to fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets. When identical assets are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets. Nevertheless, certain assets are not actively traded in observable markets and the Company must use alternative valuation techniques to derive a fair value measurement.

Related Parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if they, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, which nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the goods have been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. The definition of the term grant date is amended to generally state the date at which a grantor and a grantee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share based payment award. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s 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 July 1, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation expense for the rental properties was $227,986 and $235,835 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 respectively. As of March 31, 2020, 1,023,519 square feet (95,088 square meters) of total rental properties (group D property), or 69% of rental properties were sold, which was the same as of December 31, 2019. These sold properties are owned by various unrelated individuals and entities. The majority of these properties were sold during the period from 1998 to 2012. Pursuant to the sale contracts, at the date of the sale, buyers obtained integrated legal ownership to the sold properties and assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the property (had the ability to rent and sell the property at-will) while the Company received the payments of the purchase prices. These sales were considered final sales. The allocated carrying cost and land use rights costs were derecognized and gains or losses were recognized when the sales were completed.

As of March 31, 2020, DVPD owned 240,455 square feet (22,339 square meters) of total rental properties (group A property) (approximately 16%) with legal title, which was the same as of December 31, 2019. Rental properties are carried at cost, which includes allocated construction costs and allocated original purchased land use right costs. These properties were recorded under the caption of “rental properties”.

Among the properties owned by the Company, 200,747 square feet (18,650 square meters) of properties were used as collateral for a 390M RMB Loan (approximately $54.9 million) and 22,098 square feet (2,053 square meters) were used as collateral for 50M RMB Loan (approximately $7.0 million) and 23M RMB Loan (approximately $3.2 million). (see Note 9, Bank Loans Payable)

Group B and Group C properties were properties sold to various unrelated individuals and entities with a buy-back option. The majority of these properties were sold during the period from 1998 to 2012. The vesting dates of the buy-back options ranged from 2014 to 2018. The Company has no legal title to these properties until the Company purchases back these properties upon the exercise of the buy-back option. The Company’s accounting policy is to treat these types of sales as a financing agreement. The cost of property sold has been measured under the caption of “rental property” in the consolidated financial statements and continue to be depreciated. The Company recorded the sales proceeds as “property financing agreements payable” in the consolidated financial statements and accrues the interest expense during the period of the lease. The interest rate is determined by the price spread of each unit’s sale price and re-purchase price, and the time span from the date of sale to the maturity date (last date to execute the option). At the date of repurchase, the amount of sales proceeds received plus interest accrued will be equal to the agreed purchase price. The Company will derecognize the liability at the earlier of (1) when the Company repurchases the property, (2) when the owner of the property and the Company reaches a settlement and the owner gives up the buy-back option, or (3) the expiration of the buy-back option. (See Note 10), Property Financing Agreement Payable for further information.

As of March 31, 2020, group B properties had 130,394 square feet (12,114 square meters), or 9% of total properties, which was the same as of December 31, 2019.

Pursuant to the SML financing agreement (see Note 10, Property Financing Agreement Payable), SML will negotiate with each individual property owner who exercised their option to request the Company to buy back the property on a case by case basis and pay an agreed upon price to the property owner. SML will acquire the title to the property and settle with the previous owner and extend the buy-back option to May 15, 2023. The Company will honor the buy-back agreements and agreed to pay the same purchase price stated in the original buy-back agreements. SML will also negotiate with lease back owners and settle the balance due that the Company owed to lease owners. The Company will pay interest at 8% per annum of the balance (buy-back price) owed to SML. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, 86,251 square feet (8,013 square meters) of properties were owned by SML.

There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The government grants a land use right that permits the holder of the land a right to use the land for a specified period. Our land use rights were granted with a term of 50 years. Any transfer of the land use right requires government approval. The acquisition cost of the land use right was allocated to each rental property and is amortized with the rental property. The land use rights expire in May 2043. Properties’ estimated life was determined by the valid life of land use rights. Rental properties are depreciated over 45 years.

NOTE 8 – RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

As part of its operations, the Company leases back sold properties in Victory Plaza and subleases the properties to un-related third parties with separate lease terms. Leases related to the property in Group B (see Note 5, Rental Properties, Net) which were sold with buy-back options are classified as financing leases. Leases related to the property in Group D (see Note 5) are classified as financing leases if the lease meets any of the following criteria: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all (90% or more) of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease will be classified as an operating lease if it is not classified as a finance lease.

Due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemics, the Company has moved out of its New York office located in 424 Madison Avenue, New York, NY (the “Premise”) on February 28 2020. The lease between the landlord (the “Landlord”) and the Company, dated June 12, 2019 (the “Lease”), will expire on August 31, 2022. On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into a surrender agreement with the Landlord to surrender possession of the premises prior to the natural expiration of the Lease term (the “Surrender Agreement”), pursuant to which, the Company shall remain liable for all obligations under the Lease until the Landlord re-rents the Premises, which the Landlord will attempt to do, in good faith. The Company also represents that the Landlord may draw down on the security deposit, which totals $85,215, to cover the rent, damages, and any other expenses. Judging by the current market condition in New York City and the ongoing stay-at-home order issued by the local government, the Company believes that the Landlord may not be able to re-rent the Premises and in such event, the Company will be liable for the remaining rent from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2022, in an estimated amount of $425,000

On March 27, 2018, Sino Pride leased office space which is to expire on March 26, 2020. Due to the cost consideration, on August 15, 2019, Sino Pride terminated its old lease and moved to a new location. The lease is classified as an operating lease. At the lease commencement date, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, which is the present value of the total lease payments discounted at 5.25% - a premium bank lending rate per annum at the date. The right-of-use asset is amortized over the term of lease.

NOTE 9 – LOAN AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE

On June 28, 2018, DVBM entered into a loan agreement to lend RMB 50,000,000 (or approximately $7.2 million) (the “Principal”) to Zhong Ke Chuang Zhan Investment, Ltd (“ZKCZ”), one of the Company’s strategic partners. The maturity date of the unsecured loan was June 30, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The interest (the “Interest”) accrued on the unpaid Principal amount of the loan from July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018 was at 2% per month and from October 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was at 0.7% per month. All computations of the Interest rate were based on the daily balance of the Principal amount of the loan. Accrued, but unpaid, interest was to be paid on the Maturity Date.

On June 30, 2019, the Company signed a new loan agreement with ZKCZ to amend the loan amount from RMB 50,000,000 to RMB 75,000,000 (or $10.8 million) and extended the Maturity Date to September 30, 2020. At the request of the Company, ZKCZ has provided the Company a Promissory Note and payment plan related to the outstanding loan. From January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020, ZKCZ has made payments of approximately RMB 6,000,000 or $845,106 back to the Company. The outstanding loan principal and accrued interest from ZKCZ was approximately $4.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has recorded a reserve allowance of RMB 18,144,100 or $2,606,349 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 20, 2014, the Company’s subsidiaries, DVPD entered into a 10-year loan agreement (the “RMB 390M Loan”) $54,931,899 (RMB 390,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate) long-term borrowing from Harbin Bank (the “Bank”). The Loan was used for “repayment of other bank loans, repayment of shareholder loans and renovations”. The Loan charges a floating rate of interest at 120% of the loan rate published by the People’s Bank of China for similar loans. Current benchmark rate for a business loan over 5 years is 4.9% per annum adjusted on October 24, 2015. The average interest rates were 5.95% and 5.88% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Originally, Loan was to mature on June 19, 2024. On August 17, 2017, the Bank agreed to the following: (i) to extend the maturity date of the Loan from July 19, 2024 to July 18, 2027; (ii) to extend the initial monthly repayment date from August 20, 2017 to July 20, 2020, however, during the extended period, the Company has to repay principal of $72,015 (RMB 500,000) per quarter plus monthly interest; and (iii) add Mr. Alex Brown, the controlling shareholder and founder of VCI, as a joint and several guarantor. The Loan agreement includes customary events of default, including DVPD’s failure to pay any principal or interest when due, becoming insolvent, or ceasing operations, or if there is a material adverse change in the assets, business, commitments, or prospects of DVPD. Upon the Bank’s declaration of an event of default under the Loan agreement, they can demand payment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest. The RMB 390M Loan balance was $54,438,920 (RMB 386,500,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate) and $55,519,644 (RMB 386,500,000 translated at December 31, 2019 exchange rate) as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Loan is secured substantially by 18,650 square meters (200,747 square feet) of rental properties owned by DVPD and guaranteed jointly by Sino Pride, DVPD, DVBM, and Mr. Alex Brown. If DVPD fails to fulfill the obligations of the relevant provisions of the RMB 390M Loan agreement, each guarantor shall be liable and pay liquidated damages to the Bank. The damages are 20% of the principal amount of the loan.

According to the loan agreement with the Bank dated August 17, 2017, the Company had paid to the Bank the quarterly principal plus monthly interest through the first quarter of 2019. The Company, however, has not made such payment since April 2019, which can be considered as an event of default. As of March 31, 2020, accrued quarterly principal and interest totaled approximately $3.6 million (the “RMB 390M Loan Balance Due”).

On March 24, 2015, DVPD entered into a loan agreement (the “RMB 50M Loan”) for a $7,042,551 (RMB50,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate) long-term borrowing from the Bank. The RMB 50M Loan was used for renovations. The RMB 50M Loan charges a floating rate of interest at 120% of the loan rate published by the People’s Bank of China. The current benchmark rate for a business loan over 5 years is 4.9% per annum adjusted on October 24, 2015. The average interest rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were 5.88% and 5.92%, respectively. The maturity date of the RMB 50M Loan is July 19, 2024. The RMB 50M Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, including DVPD’s failure to pay any principal or interest when due, becoming insolvent, or ceasing operations, or if there is a material adverse change in the assets, business, commitments, or prospects of DVPD.

The RMB 50M Loan is secured substantially by 2,053 square meters (22,098 square feet) of rental properties owned by DVPD and guaranteed jointly by Sino Pride, DVPD and DVBM. If DVPD fails to fulfill the obligations of the relevant provisions of the Loan agreement, each guarantor shall be liable and pay liquidated damages to the Bank. The damages are 20% of the principal amount of the loan. The Company is required to make the principal and interest payments from April 20, 2015 through the Maturity Date. As of March 31, 2020, the accrued principal and interest totaled approximately $1.0 million (the “RMB 50M Loan Balance Due”).

On December 21, 2017, DVPD entered into a liquidity loan agreement (the “RMB 23M Loan”) for a principal amount of $3,239,574 (RMB 23,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate) from Harbin Bank (the “Bank”) with interest at 6.5%, payable monthly. The RMB 23M Loan is used for short term liquidity needs. On December 28, 2017, DVPD borrowed $1,690,212 (RMB 12,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate). The term of the loan was one year and was due on December 20, 2018. On January 19, 2018, DVPD borrowed an additional $1,549,361 (RMB 11,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate). DVPD may choose to extend the term of the loan after obtaining prior written consent from the Bank at least 15 days prior to the maturity date. Currently, The loan agreement includes customary events of default, including DVPD’s failure to pay any principal or interest when due, becoming insolvent, or ceasing operations, or if there is a material adverse change in the assets, business, commitments, or prospects of DVPD. Upon the bank’s declaration of an event of default under the loan agreement, the Bank can demand repayment in full of principal and accrued interest. The Loan also prohibits the payment of dividends. The RMB 23M loan is secured by the same collateral as the RMB 50M loan and is guaranteed jointly by DVBM and Sino Pride.

As the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has not made the repayment and the loan is in default.

On September 27, 2018, DVPD borrowed $2,802,935 (RMB19,900,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate) in a short-term loan from Harbin Bank (the “RMB 19.9M Loan”). The loan requires interest at 6.50% per annum and expired on September 12, 2019. The use of loan proceeds is restricted to pay principal and interest amounts owed to Harbin Bank.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has not made the repayment and the loan is in default.

On March 26, 2019, DVPD borrowed $1,442,314 (RMB10,240,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate) in a short-term loan from Harbin Bank (the “RMB 10.24M Loan”, together with the RMB 23M Loan and RMB 19.9M Loan, the “Liquidity Loan Balance Due”). The loan requires interest at 6.50% per annum and expires on March 11, 2020. The use of loan proceeds is restricted to pay principal and interest amounts owed to Harbin Bank.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the RMB 10.24M Loan has been expired while the Company has not made the corresponding repayment.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the RMB 23M Loan, RMB 19. 9M Loan, and RMB 10.24M Loan have become due since the Company has not made the corresponding payment.

The weighted average interest rate for these loans was 6.50 per annum for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

For the period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, interest expense incurred for the above loans, including amortization of debt issuance costs amounted to $1,021,963 and $1,043,220, respectively.

The Bank and the Company are currently discussing potential grant to convert the principal and interests due, including the RMB 390M Loan Balance Due, the RMB 50M Loan Balance Due, and the Liquidity Loan Balance Due into a new loan and an additional liquidity loans in an amount of RMB 50 million (collectively, the “Refinancing Loans”). The collateral for the potential RMB 50 million loan will be the remaining values of same collateral for the RMB 390M Loan and RMB 50M Loan but ranking junior to the RMB 390MB Loan and RMB 50M Loan. In addition, the Company has been negotiating with the Bank for a waiver of the penalty for late payment of related loan interest (the “Penalty Waiver”). The Company has already submitted the application for the Refinancing Loans and request for the Penalty Waiver to the Bank and is awaiting the Bank’s approval. However, there is no assurance that such Refinancing Loans or Penalty Waiver will be approved by the Bank.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company is not aware that the Bank has declared an event of default or taken any legal action against it for defaulting on the RMB 23M Loan, RMB 19.9M Loan and RMB 10.24M Loan. In the event that the Bank rejects its Refinancing Loans application and/or commences legal proceeding against it regarding the loans that are in default, the Company would have to pay a penalty of approximately $567,000 to the Bank. In addition, the Company may lose its collateralized assets which will cause a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Furthermore, if the collateral on those loans cannot satisfy its payment obligation, the Company may be forced to commence liquidation process if it does not have sufficient liquidity or cannot raise sufficient fund at that time, if any at all.

As of March 31, 2020, 216,230 square feet (20,127 square meters) of total properties (15%), which are included Group B and Group C properties-the properties transferred to SML) were sold to various unrelated individuals and entities with a buy-back option. The majority of these properties were sold in the period from 1998 to 2012. The date of buy-back options ranged from 2014 to 2018.

The Company’s accounting policy is to treat these types of sales as financing agreements. The costs of properties sold were kept under the caption of “rental properties” in the consolidated financial statements and continue to depreciate the properties over their estimated life. (see Note 5, Rental Properties, Net) The Company recorded sales proceeds as “property financing agreements payable” in the consolidated financial statements and accrues interest during the period of the buy-back option. The interest rate is determined by the price spread of each unit’s sale price and buy-back price, and the time span from the date of sale to the expiration date (last date to execute the option). In the case where the buy-back price is equal to the sales price, a bank long term lending rate is used. The amount of buy-back financing agreements represents the original proceeds from the sale of the property plus accrued interest. At the date of expiration, the amount of the buy-back financing agreements will equal the buy-back price stated in the buy-back contract.

If the interest was calculated at 3.25% (March 2020 US (Fed) Prime rate) for the loan payable to shareholder, the balance for interest expense would have been approximately $0.5M and $0.5M for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Transfer of Ownership of Sino Pride

Iven International Group Limited, is a company registered in Hong Kong (“Iven”). From October 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, Alex Brown beneficially owned 100% of Iven, among which, a 70% equity interest was held directly, and a 30% equity interest was held indirectly through Dalian Yiwen New Materials Technology Development Co., Ltd, a PRC entity 80% owned by Alex Brown and 20% owned by his spouse. On June 30, 2017, Alex Brown and Dalian Yiwen New Material Technology Development Co., Ltd transferred their respective ownership of Iven to Winner Ascent Investment Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company solely owned by Alex Brown.

On November 2016, Iven entered and executed an agreement of “Assignment of Common Stock and Debt Rights” (“the Original Agreement”) from VP Holding. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, Iven acquired all 30,000,000 shares of common stocks of Sino Pride then outstanding and assumed debt rights (Sino Pride owned to VP Holding) for a nominal consideration of HK$ 1 (approximately $0.13) from VP Holding.

On September 4, 2017, VCI signed “Assignment of All Outstanding Shares and All Debt Right Agreement” (“the Agreement”) with Iven. Pursuant to the Agreement, VCI acquired all 30,000,000 shares of common stock of Sino Pride then outstanding and assumed shareholder debt and loan rights of HK$493,807,633 (approximately $64,208,000) (Sino Pride owed to VP Holding) included outstanding shareholder loan of HK$ 408,409,628 (approximately $53,093,000) for nominal consideration of HK$ 1 (approximately $0.13) from Iven. The transfer was part of the restructuring to prepare the Company for listing in the U.S. capital market.

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. Additionally, the accounting standards require the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the U.S. net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes as compared to financial statement purposes, are dependent upon future taxable income and timing of reversals of future taxable differences along with any other positive and negative evidence during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized.

DVPD and DVBM are located in China and governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC. Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese companies are generally subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. DVPD and DVBM are subject to these statutory rates. Operating losses can be carried forward for five years.

Sino Pride is located in Hong Kong and governed by the Tax Laws of Hong Kong. Assessable profits of corporations are taxed at the corporate tax rate of 16.5%. Tax losses can be carried forward to offset profits in future years until fully absorbed but cannot be carried back.

VCM was incorporated in the U.S. on July 5, 2017 and is governed by the U.S. Federal tax laws and the State of Nevada (Incorporation State).

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), which significantly modified U.S. corporate income tax law, was signed into law by President Trump. The TCJA contains significant changes to corporate income taxation, including but not limited to the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of earnings (except for certain small businesses), limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of the current year’s taxable income and generally eliminating net operating loss carrybacks, allowing net operating losses to be carryforward without expiration, one-time taxation of offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated, elimination of U.S. tax on foreign earnings (subject to certain important exceptions), immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits. Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of the new federal tax law is uncertain, including to what extent various states will conform to the newly enacted federal tax law.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, DVPD, DVBM and Sino Pride had a combined net foreign operating loss carry forwards of approximately $10.0M, translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate, and $7.8M, translated at December 31, 2019 exchange rate, respectively that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These foreign losses may not offset US income taxes in the future. Management believes that it appears more likely than not that the Company will not realize these tax benefits.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, VCM had approximately $3.4M and $2.7M net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. In the U.S net operating losses incurred prior to December 31, 2017, can be carried forward 20 years. Under the TCJA, net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Act (CARES Act), was signed into law, which made significant changes to the Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryback rules, for both individuals and businesses. Under the TCJA, for tax years beginning in 2018 and thereafter, NOL carrybacks are not allowed. Rather, NOLs are carried forward indefinitely but limited to 80 percent of taxable income.

The CARES Act temporarily suspends these provisions. Under the CARES Act, NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 (i.e., 2018, 2019 and 2020 for calendar year taxpayers), can be carried back five years and carried forward indefinitely with no limitation.  

The Company has no operating income in the US as of the date of reporting. Management believes that it appears more likely than not that the Company will not realize these tax benefits. VCM’s tax return for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 are open to IRS inspection.

Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of net operating losses have not been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as their realization has not been determined likely to occur. Also, due to the change in control, there are annual limitations on future net operating loss carryforward deductions. As future earnings are uncertain, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the deferred tax asset. The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority “More likely than not” is defined as greater than a 50% chance.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred tax assets consisted of:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2020			2019
	(Unaudited)

Foreign operations	$	16,237,591		$	13,366,178

The valuation allowance was increased by $2,934,779 and $37,557 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 17– STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue up to 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. On November 13, 2017, the Company issued 20,700,000 shares of its common stock to Alex Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and received consideration of $2,070 in cash.

NOTE 18 - STATUTORY RESERVE

Pursuant to the PRC law, entities must make appropriations from after-tax profits to a 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 such appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) at each yearend). DVPD and DVBM have not made any appropriations to the statutory reserve as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, as DVPD and DVBM have not yet generated any after-tax profits.

NOTE 19 – NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Noncontrolling interest represents DVDC’s 20% equity ownership interest in DVPD and DVPD’s operating results including its 5% equity ownership interest in DVBM. Non-controlling interest consisted of the following as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2019

NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Country Risk

Our PRC subsidiaries are subject to laws and regulations applicable to various laws and regulations generally applicable to companies in China. As the Company’s principal operations are conducted currently in the PRC, it is subject to contingencies and risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These risks include, among others, risks associated with the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange limitations encountered in the PRC. The Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, among other things.

In addition, all the Company’s transactions in the PRC are denominated in RMB, which must be converted into other currencies before remittance from the PRC. Both conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and remittance of foreign currencies abroad require approval of the PRC government.

Legal Proceedings

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had property financing agreements payable of $74,380,091, lease liabilities payable of $480,748, lease-back payables past due of $5,422,041, unpaid balances in connection with property buy-backs of $4,071,516. As of March 31, 2020, there were total of 566 lawsuits against the Company in Dalian City, China. Litigants claimed that the Company did not buy back the property pursuant to the sales contract or the Company did not pay the lease-back rental payments on time. These claims amounted to $24,362,934 (RMB 172,969,527 translated at the March 31, 2020 exchange rate). These payables were included in and reported under the caption of “Property financing agreements payable”, “Lease liabilities payable” and “Other payables”. In connection with the progress of these cases, the Company accrued $4,650,313 for possible extra litigation charges. The Company records the related attorney fees when invoiced. The attorney fees in connection with these cases was $11,233 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The nature of these lawsuits is to demand the Company buy-back property per agreements or to pay unpaid rent per lease-back agreements. The Company has been accruing the interest and included in property financing agreements payable and lease liabilities payable based on the lease agreements. The Company records the expired lease-back payables and unpaid buy-back payables in other payables and accrues additional estimated liabilities. The management believes that current recorded liabilities were reasonable estimates of the total final buy-back payments and total final lease-back payables. Should the ultimate settlement of these liabilities to exceed the amount already recognized, the Company will accrue additional estimated liabilities when known.

To deal with the litigation issues, the Company has worked with the plaintiffs and other owners of the lease-back property. At the same time, SML has helped to resolve the litigation cases. The progress, however, has been very slow. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company’s task group and SML have collectively resolved a total of 561 cases out of which 1 case was resolved during the three months ended March 31, 2020

Collateral of Company’s Asset to Three Individuals

On May 18, 2017, 140 square meters (1,507 square feet), owned by the Company was used as collateral to help on unrelated individual borrow $770,000 (RMB5,000,000) under a one-year bank loan. There was no profit or gain for the Company to provide this collateral. The one-year period is now past due. The Company is exposed to the loss of this property if the individual is insolvent and fails to settle the bank loan.

On May 18, 2017, the Company allowed one of its board members of DVPD to use 7 units of rental properties, totaling 138 square meters (1,485 square feet), owned by the Company as collateral to borrow $770,000 (RMB5,000,000) under one-year bank loan. There was no profit or gain for the Company to provide this collateral. The one-year loan is now past due. The Company is exposed to the loss of this property if the individual is insolvent and fails to repay the bank loan.

On May 18, 2017, the Company allowed one of its board members of DVPD to use 2 units of rental properties, totaling 15 square meters (161 square feet), owned by the Company as collateral to borrow $770,000 (RMB 5,000,000) under a one-year bank loan. There was no profit or gain for the Company to provide this collateral. The one-year period is past due. The Company exposed to the loss of these properties if the individual is insolvent and fails to settle the bank loan.

These individuals have not yet returned the loans back to Harbin Bank, which exposes the Company to a loss if the individuals are insolvent and fail to repay the bank loans. On December 30, 2019, the Company entered into three separate Repayment Agreements with these individuals. The agreements stipulate that these three individuals have to either pay back the loan of RMB 5M to the bank or provide their own collaterals so as to release the Company’s property by December 31, 2020. In addition, the agreements require these three individuals pay RMB 50,000 to the Company by May 31, 2020 along with other penalty clauses if these three individuals fail to abide by the agreements. The Company has a risk of losing these properties if these individuals are not able to repay these bank loans.

NOTE 21 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances in various banks in China and the Special Region of Hong Kong. Per regulation of PRC, the maximum insured bank deposit amount is approximately $72,700 (RMB 500,000) for each financial institution. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s uninsured cash balance was approximately $136,000.

The Company receives rental and management fee income from approximately 700 tenants. Revenue from the top ten tenants accounted for 10.43% and 20.09% of total revenue, for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, no individual tenant’s revenue accounts for more than 10% of the total revenue in the above periods. Accounts receivable from the top ten tenants accounts was 12.7% and 12.6% as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively.

To deal with the litigation issues, the Company has worked with the plaintiffs and other owners of the lease-back property. At the same time, SML has helped to resolve the litigation cases. The progress, however, has been very slow. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company’s task group and SML have collectively resolved a total of 561 cases.

Outstanding Bank Loans

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has 5 outstanding loans due from Harbin Bank (the “Bank”) in an aggregate amount of approximately $66.9 million. Pursuant to the loan agreements for the RMB 390M Loan and RMB 50M Loan, the Company shall pay the Bank the monthly interest in addition to the quarterly principal. The Company, however, has failed to make such payments since April 2019. As of March 31, 2020, the accrued principal and interest totaled approximately $3.6 million for the RMB 390M Loan (the “RMB 390M Loan Balance Due”) and approximately $1.0 million for the RMB 50M Loan (the “RMB 50M Loan Balance Due”), respectively. Upon the Bank’s declaration of an event of default under the corresponding loan agreements, the Bank can demand the full payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest.

In additional to the RMB 390M Loan and RMB 50M Loan, the Company has failed to make payments to three short-term loans, including the RMB 23M Loan, the RMB 19.9M Loan, and the RMB 10.24M Loan (collectively, the “Liquidity Loan Balance Due”). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Short-Terms Loans have been expired while the Company has not made the corresponding payment.

The Bank and the Company are currently discussing potential grant to convert the principal and interests due, including the RMB 390M Loan Balance Due, the RMB 50M Loan Balance Due, and the Liquidity Loan Balance Due into a new loan and an additional liquidity loans in an amount of RMB 50 million (collectively, the “Refinancing Loans”). The collateral for the potential RMB 50 million loan will be the remaining values of same collateral for the RMB 390M Loan and RMB 50M Loan but ranking junior to the RMB 390MB Loan and RMB 50M Loan. In addition, the Company has been negotiating with the Bank for a waiver of the penalty for late payment of related loan interest (the “Penalty Waiver”). The Company has already submitted the application for the Refinancing Loans and request for the Penalty Waiver to the Bank and is awaiting the Bank’s approval. However, there is no assurance that such Refinancing Loans or Penalty Waiver will be approved by the Bank.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company is not aware that the Bank has taken any legal action against it for defaulting on the RMB 23M Loan, RMB 19.9M Loan and RMB 10.24M Loan. In the event that the Bank rejects its Refinancing Loans application and/or commences legal proceeding against it regarding the loans that are in default, the Company would have to pay a penalty of approximately $567,000 to the Bank. In addition, the Company may lose its collateralized assets which will cause a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Furthermore, if the collateral on those loans cannot satisfy its payment obligation, the Company may be forced to commence liquidation process if it does not have sufficient liquidity or cannot raise sufficient fund at that time, if any at all.

Impact of COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

Many uncertainties remain regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is impossible at this time to predict the full economic impact and the impact on our business. Since the Company primarily engages in the business of the multi-functional shopping center are located in Dalian, Liaoning, China, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to lead to a significant impact on our business operations. In late January 2020, the Dalian government released a stop order on all activities that involved gathering, including a temporary suspension of shopping malls. As a result, all retailors and service providers of our shopping center were shut down until further notice, subject to the containment of the COVID-19. The Company’s Dalian office resumes business since March 5, 2020. However, our business was and has continued to be adversely impacted by COVID-19. We have much less traffic in our shopping mall and less tenants after the reopening due to the concern of the virus. In wake of the impact on local market conditions and the economic environment by COVID-19, the Company temporarily suspended the Renovation. Consequently, the pandemics has negatively impacted our operating revenue during the first quarter of 2020, and the Company believe the negative impact on revenue will continue throughout year 2020. We continue to monitor and evaluate these and other developments with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, though we cannot guarantee that any measures we take in response thereto will be entirely effective or effective at all. In addition, the continued negative impact of the pandemic could cause the Company to incur future impairment charges to the value of its properties.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” (“CARES ACT”). The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, that the CARES Act may have on the Company’s future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.

As of the date hereof, the Company is still closely monitoring the fluid and rapidly evolving situation of COVID-19 and manages to maintain the operation of its business.

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

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. See “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” on page ii.

Overview

Victory Commercial Management Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “VCM”) was incorporated on July 5, 2017 under the laws of Nevada. On July 13, 2017, VCM formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Victory Commercial Investment Ltd. (“VCI”) under the laws of British Virgin Islands. VCI owns 100% of Sino Pride Development Co., Ltd (“Sino Pride”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on May 26, 1989.

Dalian Victory Plaza Development Co. Ltd. (“DVPD”) was incorporated on March 29, 1993 as a joint venture under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), of which a 80% equity interest in DVPD is owned by Sino Pride and 20% is owned by Dalian Victory Development Co., Ltd (“DVDC”), a stated owned enterprise in China. Dalian Victory Business Management Co. Ltd. (“DVBM”) was incorporated on September 12, 2000 as a joint venture under the laws of PRC. A 95% of equity interest in DVBM is owned by Sino Pride and 5% is owned by DVPD. Dalian Victory Property Management Co. Ltd. (“DVPM”) is 100% owned by Sino Pride. VCM controls DVPD, DVBM and DVPM via ownership structures.

VCM and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the business of commercial real estate rental and management in the PRC. DVPD and DVBM manage Dalian Victory Plaza Shopping Center (“Victory Plaza”), a multi-functional underground shopping center, located at Dalian City, Liaoning Province of China. Victory Plaza has approximately 137,577 square meters (1,480,619 square feet) rental space. DVPD was the developer of Victory Plaza.

The following table summarizes ownership of Dalian Victory Plaza Shopping Center as of March 31, 2020:

Group	Description of Property	% of Total SQ Ft			Financial Statement Presentation
					Assets	Liabilities
		(Unaudited)
A	Owned with title by DVPD		16	%	Rental properties	N/A
B	Sold properties with buy- back options or return is in process without paying off		9	%	Rental properties	Property financing agreements payable
C *	Properties with buy- back options transferred to SML in 2017 and 2018**		6	%	Rental properties	Loan payable SML
D	Sold properties		69	%	N/A	N/A
	Total properties		100	%

* In the filing of Form S-1/A dated February 12, 2019, the Company had a C-2 property group category, “Third party has title acquired from previous owner”. The purchase and sale transactions between the previous owner and new owner - “third party” will not remove the burden of the Company to buy back the property per the buy-back option. The nature of the C-2 group was the same as Group B. Therefore, we removed Group C-2 (approximately 1%) and combined it with Group B in current filing.

**On December 29, 2017, the Company executed the SML Agreement, pursuant to which, SML has bought certain properties from the individual property owners and the Company has agreed to buy back those properties from SML at the original purchase price under the buy-back options plus annual interest of 8% commencing on January 1, 2018 to be paid later than May 15, 2020. Acknowledging the impact by outbreak of COVID-19, on January 15, 2020, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement with SML to extend the original repayment date from May 15, 2020 to May 15, 2023.

Group A represents property that the Company owns 100% ownership. Group B represents property we sold to individual owners with buy-back options which are pending. Group C represents property owned by SML, but the Company is still liable under the buy-back options. Pursuant to the SML Agreement, the Company is required to buy back the properties plus interest at 8%, no later than May 15, 2023. Group D represents property we sold to various individual owners without additional rights attached.

35

As part of our business operations, the Company may lease back properties from the owners of Group B, C and D properties and sublease these properties to un-related third parties with a new lease term. Our rental income is generated from leasing of our owned properties and lease-back properties. Rental income is reported including rent income from our owned properties and lease-back properties. Lease-back expenses are recorded as amortization, interest and lease-back expenses separately.

We currently also provide common area management services to all tenants and shop owners. Common area management services include utilities, security, cleaning, fire service, landscaping, public facilities maintenance and other traditional services provided by our property management office. Management fees range from $17 to $20 per square foot per annum. The management fee income is recognized over the term of the lease. Utility charges collected from tenants will offset our utility expenses paid to utility companies. We report the net amount of utility charges as other income.

Temporary Suspension of the Renovation of Victory Plaza (the “Renovation”)

We initially planned to renovate and upgrade Victory Plaza to become a large-sized multifunctional shopping center, which would differ significantly from a traditional retail shopping center. Under the Renovation Plan, the direct renovation cost including the construction, regulatory approval, labor and administration & miscellaneous is estimated at $11.2 million. We would need an additional $83.9 million to buy back the properties that we sold to third parties with the buy-back option in order to conduct our Renovation. The total anticipated cost to complete the buy-backs and Renovation is approximately $95.1 million. As the date hereof, we have not obtained any loans to be used for direct Renovation.

However, as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, the local market condition for shopping malls have substantially changed which brings uncertainty that if such Renovation is completed, we would be able to generate sufficient revenue to pay off the costs and expenses associated with the Renovation and provide us sustainable income for future development, not to mention the negative impact by COVID-19 to our current operation and liquidity.

As of the date hereof, management is taking prudent measures to reassess the feasibility of the Renovation based on current market conditions, the Company’s liquidity and potential of future financing. Until a determination is made, the Renovation is temporarily suspended.

Factors That May Influence our Future Results

We generate our revenues primarily from rental and management fee income from tenants under existing leases at Victory Plaza. The management fee income includes the charges mainly for property management, maintenance and repair, and security, and is recognized over the terms of the leases. The amount of rental income and management fee income we receive is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates and occupancy rates of our property. Factors that could affect our rental income include (i) changes in the economic environment; (ii) local competition from other shopping facilities similar to our shopping mall; (iii) the attractiveness of rental space; (iv) the financial stability of our tenants; (v) trend of market rental rates; (vi) the development of local transportation and (vii) the outbreak of highly contagious disease like the VOCID 19 virus.

Rental income was $468,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $315,726, or 40%, compared to rental income of $784,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in rental income was primarily attributable to the reduction of the occupancy rate and lower charges per square foot. The occupancy rate was down from a 59% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to a 46% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. From a short term-perspective, the decrease in the occupancy rate was adversely impacted by the outbreak of the pandemic.

Management fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $904,146, a decrease of $359,792, or 28%, compared to management fee income of $1,263,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in management fee income was primarily due to the decrease in occupancy rate as indicated above. For DVBM, the office remained closed until March 5, 2020, driving down further the income from management fees.

Other income consisting primarily of income and costs from utilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $114,870, a decrease of $22,984, or 17%, compared to the other income of $137,854 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in other income was primarily due to the adverse effect of the coronavirus pandemic.

Selling expenses were $926,016 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $317,393 or 26%, compared to $1,243,409 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was due mainly to the coronavirus pandemic as the Company noted a decrease in cleaning fees, utilities, and office expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $285,420 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $34,555 or 11%, compared to depreciation and amortization expenses of $319,975 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses was primarily due to the expiration of leases and de-recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets during the year ended December 31, 2019 resulting in lower depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Payroll and payroll related expenses were $330,528 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $177,149, or 35%, compared to payroll and payroll related expenses of $507,677 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in payroll and payroll related expenses were primarily due to the reduction of 9 employees in our Hong Kong office and the impact of the coronavirus outbreak causing the operations of DVPD and DVBM to remain closed until March 5, 2020.

Business taxes consists of value added tax (“VAT”), taxes related to rental, property tax, land use rights tax and other surcharges and fees. Business taxes was $96,848 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $32,616, or 25%, as compared to business taxes of $129,464 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in business taxes is primarily due to the decrease in local and property taxes and tax penalties.

Lease expense from operating and financing lease includes lease-back expenses, lease payments due to settlement to the property owners, interest, amortization and rental expenses from the short-term leases. The lease expenses were $73,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $109,519, or 60%, compared to the operating lease expenses of $182,519 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in rental expense of approximately $44,000 was primarily due to the Director’s office being relocated to a cheaper place in Hong Kong. In addition, the operating lease expense decreased by approximately $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, because the Company terminated the more expensive lease in August, 2019.

37

Other general and administrative expenses were $158,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $181,708, or 53%, compared to other general and administrative expenses of $340,276 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of recruiting fees of approximately $45,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In addition, during the same period, the legal, auditing, and accounting services decreased by approximately $127,000, mainly because the Company incurred higher professional services due to its S-1 filing during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Interest income was $147,853 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $22,753, compared to interest income of $170,606 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Decrease in interest income mainly resulted from lower loan receivables because of the repayment made by ZKCZ to the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Interest – loans was $1,021,963 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an decrease of $21,257, or 2%, compared to $1,043,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Interest – ROU and other capitalized liabilities was $581,729 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $85,279 or 13%, compared to $667,008 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Decrease in interest expense mainly resulted from lower long-term liability as the Company made payments of approximately RMB 15M to SML during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Loss from foreign currency transactions was $458,367 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to a gain of $542,730 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The variance was due mainly to change in the exchange rate from RMB to USD.

The unpaid loan balance to Sino Pride Development Limited (“Sino Pride”), a related party, was approximately $12 million. This loan and related interest payable are denominated in US dollars. The Company uses the bank spot exchange rate to record proceeds and repayments in RMB on the Company’s books. By the end of the period, the loan balance and interest payable in US dollars is translated to RMB recorded on Company’s books. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. $458,367 currency exchange loss in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the change of US$/RMB rate. As of March 31, 2020, one US dollar translated to RMB 7.0997 whereas at March 31, 2019, one US dollar translated to RMB 6.2875. Exchange loss means that the Company needs more RMB to repay the loan and interest payable denominated in the US dollar due to the change of the exchange rate.

As a result of the above discussion, the Company’s net loss was $2,424,462 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $1,051,125, or 63%, compared to net loss of $1,665,932 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Cash flow generated from our operations is not sufficient to meet our daily operations, including the interest payments on bank loans. The current cash balance is not sufficient to support our Renovation plan (currently terminated) and repayment of bank loans. The Company will need to seek additional capital resources from our current shareholder, management or employees, outside sources, including through the sale of our equity securities, or from bank loans if available. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us. As explained elsewhere, DVPD has been listed as a “dishonest debtor” by the PRC courts and such designation may negatively impact our ability to obtain additional financing. In addition, we are currently in default of certain of our loans with Harbin Bank.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $181,705 and $122,884 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Most of the Company’s funds are kept in financial institutions in China. The Company is subject to the regulations of the PRC, which restrict the transfer of cash from China, except under certain circumstances. Accordingly, such funds may not be readily available to satisfy obligations which are outside the PRC.

On June 28, 2018, DVBM entered into a loan agreement to lend RMB 50,000,000 (or approximately $7.2 million) (the “Principal”) to Zhong Ke Chuang Zhan Investment, Ltd (“ZKCZ”), one of the Company’s strategic partners. The maturity date of the unsecured loan was June 30, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The interest (the “Interest”) accrued on the unpaid Principal amount of the loan from July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018 was at 2% per month and from October 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was at 0.7% per month. All computations of the Interest rate were based on the daily balance of the Principal amount of the loan. Accrued, but unpaid, interest was to be paid on the Maturity Date.

On June 30, 2019, the Company signed a new loan agreement with ZKCZ to amend the loan amount from RMB 50,000,000 to RMB 75,000,000 (or $10.8 million) and extended the Maturity Date to September 30, 2020. At the request of the Company, ZKCZ has provided the Company a Promissory Note and payment plan related to the outstanding loan. From January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020, ZKCZ has made payments of approximately RMB 6,000,000 or $845,106 back to the Company. The outstanding loan principal and accrued interest from ZKCZ was approximately $4.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has recorded a reserve allowance of RMB 18,144,100 or $2,606,349 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The RMB 390M Loan agreement includes customary events of default, including DVPD’s failure to pay any principal or interest when due, becoming insolvent, or ceasing operations, or if there is a material adverse change in the assets, business, commitments, or prospects of DVPD. Upon the Bank’s declaration of an event of default under the Loan agreement, they can demand payment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest. The RMB 390M Loan balance was $54,438,920 (RMB 386,500,000) as of March 31, 2020.

The RMB 390M Loan is secured substantially by the 18,650 square meters (200,747 square feet) of rental properties owned by DVPD and guaranteed jointly by Sino Pride, DVPD, DVBM, and Mr. Alex Brown.

The damages are 20% of the principal amount of the loan. The Company is required to make the principal and interest payments from April 20, 2015 through the Maturity Date.

According to the loan agreement with the Bank dated March 24, 2015, the Company had paid to the Bank the been making principle quarterly principal plus related monthly interest through the first quarter of 2019. The Company, however, has not paid the principle and interest since April 2019 which can be considered as an event of default. As of March 31,2020, the accrued principal and interest totaled approximately $1 million (the “RMB 50M Loan Balance Due”).

On December 21, 2017, DVPD entered into a liquidity loan agreement (the “RMB 23M Loan”) for $3,239,574 (RMB 23,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate) from the Bank with interest at 6.5%, payable monthly. The RMB 23M Loan was used for short term liquidity needs. On December 28, 2017, DVPD borrowed $1,690,212 (RMB 12,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate). The term of the loan was one year and was due on December 20, 2018. On January 19, 2018, DVPD borrowed an additional $1,549,361 (RMB 11,000,000 translated at March 31, 2020 exchange rate). The loan agreement includes customary events of default, including DVPD’s failure to pay any principal or interest when due, becoming insolvent, or ceasing operations, or if there is a material adverse change in the assets, business, commitments, or prospects of DVPD. Upon the bank’s declaration of an event of default under the loan agreement, the Bank can demand repayment in full of principal and accrued interest. The Loan also prohibits the payment of dividends. The RMB 23M loan is secured by the same collateral as the RMB 50M loan and is guaranteed jointly by DVBM and Sino Pride. The Company did not make repayment at the due date and is currently in default, DVPD is negotiating the bank to extend the term of the loan.

The RMB 23M loan is secured by the same collateral as the RMB 50M loan and is guaranteed jointly by DVBM and Sino Pride.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the RMB 23M Loan has not been paid.

On September 27, 2018, DVPD borrowed $2,802,935 (RMB 19,900,000 translated at March 31, 2020 rate), in a short-term loan from Harbin Bank (the “RMB 19.9M Loan”). The loan requires interest at 6.50% per annum and expires on September 12, 2019. The use of loan proceeds is restricted to pay principal and interest amounts owed to Harbin Bank. As of the date hereof, the RMB 19.9M Loan is due and the Company has not made the corresponding repayment.

On March 26, 2019, DVPD borrowed $1,442,314 (RMB 10,240,000) in a short-term loan from Harbin Bank (the “RMB 10.24M Loan”, together with the RMB 23M Loan and RMB 19.9M Loan, the “Liquidity Loan Balance Due”). The loan requires interest at 6.50% per annum and expires on March 11, 2020. The use of loan proceeds is restricted to pay principal and interest amounts owed to Harbin Bank. As of March 31, 2020 and as of the date of this Quarterly Report, the RMB 10.24M Loan is due and the Company has not made the corresponding repayment.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the RMB 23M Loan, RMB19.9M Loan, and RMB10,24M Loan respectively have become due and the Company has not made the corresponding payment.

The Bank and the Company are currently discussing potential grant to convert the principal and interests due, including the RMB 390M Loan Balance Due, the RMB 50M Loan Balance Due, and the Liquidity Loan Balance Due into a new loan and an additional liquidity loans in an amount of RMB 50 million (collectively, the “Refinancing Loans”). The collateral for the potential RMB 50 million loan will be the remaining values of same collateral for the RMB 390M Loan and RMB 50M Loan but ranking junior to the RMB 390MB Loan and RMB 50M Loan. In addition, the Company has been negotiating with the Bank for a waiver of the penalty for late payment of related loan interest (the “Penalty Waiver”). The Company has already submitted the application for the Refinancing Loans and request for the Penalty Waiver to the Bank and is awaiting the Bank’s approval. However, there is no assurance that such Refinancing Loans or Penalty Waiver will be approved by the Bank.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company is not aware that the Bank has taken any legal action against it for defaulting on the RMB 23M Loan, RMB 19.9M Loan and RMB 10.24M Loan. In the event that the Bank rejects its Refinancing Loans application and/or commences legal proceeding against it regarding the loans that are in default, the Company would have to pay a penalty of approximately $567,000 to the Bank. In addition, the Company may lose its collateralized assets which will cause a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Furthermore, if the collateral on those loans cannot satisfy its payment obligation, the Company may be forced to commence liquidation process if it does not have sufficient liquidity or cannot raise sufficient fund at that time, if any at all.

Sino Pride is a major cash source to the operations of DVPD and DVBM. Loan payable to Sino Pride bears interest at 8% per annum. As of March 31, 2020, remaining principal payable was $13,303,748 and interest payable was $9,880,794. Related party loan has been eliminated in accompanying consolidated financial statements. During the same period, DVPD was not profitable, and subsequently made no payment to Sino Pride.

DVDC contributed land use rights and infrastructures totaling $20,000,000 to DVPD in December 2000. Among this $20,000,000 contribution, $6,800,000 was recorded as registered capital, and $13,200,000 was recorded as loan payable by DVDC per December 2000 agreement. The loan is payable when DVPD is profitable. Loan principal $3,300,000 (25% of $13,200,000) bears interest at 8% per annum. The remaining balance of principal bears interest at benchmark bank rate of China, which was 5.88% at March 31,2020.

Due to shareholder represents the investment amount that Sino Pride received from its former shareholders, which was assigned to current shareholder Mr. Alex Brown. Loan payable to shareholder was $66,263,971 and $65,931,644, respectively at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The balance due to shareholder bears no interest. If the interest was calculated at 3.25% (March 2020 US (Fed) Prime rate) for the loan payable to shareholder, the balance for interest expense would have been approximately $0.50M and $0.50M for the three months ended March 31,2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had property financing agreements payable of $74,380,091, lease liabilities payable of $480,748, expired lease-back payables of $5,422,041, and buy-back payables of $4,071,516. As of March 31, 2020, there were total of 566 lawsuits against the Company in Dalian City, China. Litigants claimed that the Company did not buy back the property pursuant to the sales contract or the Company did not pay the promised lease-back rent on time. These claims amounted to $24,362,934 (RMB 172,969,527). These payables were included in and reported under the caption of “Property financing agreements payable”, “Lease liabilities payable” and “Other payables”. As of March 31, 2020, the Company accrued $4,650,313 for possible extra litigation charges. The Company will record attorney fees when invoiced. The attorney fees in connection with litigation cases were $11,233 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

These lawsuits are caused by our failure to buy back the properties when requested to or our failure to pay rents for certain lease-back units. Subsequently, certain units owned by DVPD have been frozen from transfer or disposition by the courts. DVPD has been restricted from free transfer, disposal and pledged its 5% equity interest in DVBM from March 2, 2017 to March 1, 2019. The 5% equity interest in DVBM is still restricted currently. In addition, DVPD has been listed as a “dishonest debtor” by the courts. Once listed as a dishonest debtor, DVPD can be imposed with certain restrictions in connection with commercial loans at the banks’ discretion; the purchase or transfer of properties and land use rights; and renovation, upgrade or renovation of properties. In addition, the bank accounts of DVPD are frozen by the courts which allows the inflow of cash to the bank accounts but prohibits the outflow of cash.

Management believes that the recorded total property financing agreements payable, buy-back payables, lease-back liabilities payable and expired lease payable liabilities of $89,004,709 is a reasonable estimation. Should the settlement of these liabilities exceed management’s estimates, additional accruals will be necessary.

To address our capital needs in 2020 and going forward, we have engaged SML to buy back certain properties and have been actively negotiating with owners to resolve the litigation cases. In addition, we plan to raise capital through an equity or debt offering and obtain loans from the banks once DVPD is removed from the dishonest debtor listing and borrow from our shareholders if necessary to implement our Renovation plan to develop Victory Plaza into a modern multi-functional shopping center and fund future operations. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations.

In addition, the PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the renminbi, or “RMB” into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations.

Capital used in or provided from these activities can vary significantly from period to period based on the volume and timing of these activities.

In the first three months of 2020, net cash provided by investing activities was $860,463, representing repayment of short-term loan receivable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.  Such officers also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, if any, including process improvements, were being undertaken. Our management concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected in a timely manner. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Therefore, any current evaluation of controls cannot and should not be projected to future periods.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of the period ended March 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework.”

Based on management’s assessment using the COSO criteria, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2020, due to the existence of the following material weaknesses:

● As of March 31, 2020, there was a lack of accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. and financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission;

● As of March 31, 2020, there were insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

● As of March 31, 2020, there was a lack of segregation of duties.

● As of March 31, 2020, there was no independent audit committee.

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going basis. Once our cash flows from operations improve to a level where we are able to hire additional personnel in financial reporting, we plan to improve our internal controls and procedures by hiring the seasoned professionals to form an accounting team with sufficient in-house expertise in internal control and US GAAP reporting. However, due to the limited cash flow, we cannot assure you when we will be able to implement those remediation methods.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,2020, that occurred during our fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of March 31, 2020, to our knowledge, there were 566 lawsuits in total filed against us 1) for unpaid rent by the lease-back owners and 2) for the failure to buy-back property from the current owners of properties that exercised their options. Total claims amounted to approximately $24,362,934. Management believes that the amount claimed by these litigants approximates the amount that the Company has already recorded under the caption of “Property financing agreements payable”, Lease liabilities payable” and “Other payables” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

We may be party from time to time to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. There can be no assurance that these matters that arise in the future, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future period.
