DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Sharing Economy International Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on June 24, 1987 under the name of Malex, Inc. On December 18, 2007, the Company's corporate name was changed to China Wind Systems, Inc. and on June 13, 2011, the Company changed its corporate name to Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. On August 7, 2012, the Company was converted into a Nevada corporation. On January 8, 2018, the Company changed its corporate name to Sharing Economy International Inc. 

Through its affiliated companies, the Company manufactures and sells textile dyeing and finishing machines. The Company is the sole owner of Fulland Limited ("Fulland"), a Cayman Island limited liability company, which was organized on May 9, 2007. Fulland owns 100% of the capital stock of Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("Green Power") and, until December 30, 2016, Fulland owned 100% of Wuxi Fulland Wind Energy Equipment Co., Ltd. ("Fulland Wind"). Green Power is and Fulland Wind was a wholly foreign-owned enterprise ("WFOE") organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC" or "China"). Green Power is a party to a series of contractual arrangements, as fully described below, dated October 12, 2007 with Wuxi Huayang Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. ("Heavy Industries"), formerly known as Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd., and Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. ("Dyeing"), both of which are limited liability companies organized under the laws of, and based in, the PRC. Heavy Industries and Dyeing are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Huayang Companies."

Dyeing, which was formed on August 17, 1995, produces and sells a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery for the textile industry. The Company refers to this segment as the dyeing and finishing equipment segment. On December 26, 2016, Dyeing and an unrelated individual formed Wuxi Shengxin New Energy Engineering Co., Ltd. ("Shengxin"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC in which Dyeing has a 30% equity interest and the unrelated third party holds a 70% interest, pursuant to an agreement dated December 23, 2016. Shengxin intends to develop, construct and maintain photovoltaic power generation projects, known as solar farms, in China, mainly in the provinces of GuiZhou and YunNan. In April 2018, Shengxin secured and invested in a large solar PV project in GuiZhou province. Shengxin paid RMB40 million for the project rights and also engaged a local contractor to proceed with building the project. However, on June 1, 2018, the Chinese government halted installation of new solar farms for the remainder of the year and reduced subsidies for projects already under construction. In September 2018, due to significant doubt about the status of this project and recoverability of the Company's investment, the Company fully impaired the value of its investment in Shengxin (see Note 5).

Fulland Wind was formed on August 27, 2008. In 2009, the Company began to produce and sell forged products through Fulland Wind. Through Fulland Wind, the Company manufactured and sold forged products, including wind products such as shafts, rolled rings, gear rims, gearboxes, bearings and other components and finished products and assemblies for the wind power and other industries, including large-scale equipment used in the manufacturing process for the various industries. The Company referred to this segment of its business as the forged rolled rings and related components segment. On December 30, 2016, Fulland sold the stock of Fulland Wind.

Beginning in February 2015, Heavy Industries began to produce equipment for the petroleum and chemical industries. The Company referred to this segment of its business as the petroleum and chemical equipment segment. Because of a significant decline in revenues from this segment, the Company determined it would not continue to operate in this segment and accordingly, the petroleum and chemical equipment segment is reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented (See Note 5). As a result of the discontinuation of the petroleum and chemical equipment business, the Company's business primarily consists of the dyeing and finishing equipment business as its primary continuing operations since December 31, 2016.
