ARTICLE II

CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

2.1.           Holder’s Voluntary Conversion Rights .

 

(a)          For so long as this Note remains outstanding and not fully paid, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of Common Stock of the Borrower or its successor in interest (the “ Conversion Shares ”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II, at $10.00 per share of Company common stock (the “ Common Stock ”) (as may be adjusted as provided herein, the “ Conversion Price ”), which transaction may be referred to herein as a “ Subsequent Financing ”. The Holder may exercise such right by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.2 . For the purposes of this Note “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.

 

(b)          If an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred, then the Conversion Price shall not be reduced, but shall continue to be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3 below.

  

2.2.           Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion . In the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this Note into Common Stock the Holder shall give notice to the Borrower of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “ Notice of Conversion ”) pursuant to Section 4.2 which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount and accrued interest. Upon each conversion of the Principal Amount of this Note and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Borrower shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. No fractional Conversion Shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. Instead of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional share in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

2.3.           Adjustments to Conversion Price .

 

(a)          The number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2 shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Conversion Price.

 

(b)          The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 

i.           Merger, Sale of Assets, etc . If (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company consummates a stock Share Exchange Agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock Share Exchange Agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, or (F) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a " Fundamental Transaction "), this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction.

 

2

 

 

ii.           Reclassification, etc . If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid principal portion hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other change.

 

iii.           Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends . If the Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock by issuance of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

(d)          Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.3 , the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

2.4          Issuance of Replacement Note . Upon any loss or destruction of this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall be issued by the Company to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

 

2.5          Notice of Conversion. Notice of Conversion shall be transmitted by the Borrower’s transfer agent to the Holder by (i) crediting the account of the Holder’s broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Conversion Shares by the Holder or (B) the Conversion Shares are eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if the conditions specified in (i)(A) or (i)(B) are not satisfied, by physical delivery to the address specified by the Registered Holder in the Notice of Exercise.

Exhibit 99.1

Kirin International Holdings Inc. Completes Acquisition of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co. Limited

Xiangyao Liu Appointed New President, CEO, Secretary and Chairman of the Board

NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Kirin International Holdings Inc.,  (OTC Markets:KIRI) (the "Company") entered into certain share exchange agreements (the “Agreements”) with Energetic Mind Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Energetic Mind”) and all shareholders of Energetic Mind (collectively the “Acquiree Shareholders”, each individually an “Acquiree Shareholder”) whereby the Company effectively acquired 100% issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Energetic Mind from the Acquiree Shareholders (the “Acquisition”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, in exchange for 100% issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Energetic Mind, the Company agreed to;

1. issue to the Acquiree Shareholders an aggregate of one hundred fifty-one million (151,000,000) shares of Company’s common stock, valued at 1.51 billion U.S. Dollars ($1,510,000,000) in aggregate, and
2. issue to a certain Acquiree Shareholder an 8% convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of one hundred fifty million U.S. Dollars ($150,000,000).  The Acquiree Shareholder holding the Note may convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share.

Upon completion of the transaction, the Acquiree Shareholders collectively received a total of one hundred and fifty-one million (151,000,000) shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, representing approximately 88% of the total issued and outstanding stock of the Company. In exchange for the controlling interest of the Company, Company effectively acquired 100% interest in Energetic Mind.

Energetic Mind operates its business through its subsidiary, Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co. Limited (“Wuhan Newport”), a company formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Primarily engaging in the business as a port logistic center located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuhan Yangluo Newport is a large infrastructure project implemented under China’s latest “One Belt One Road” initiative and is believed to be strategically positioned in the anticipated “Comprehensive Bonded Zone” and “Free Trade Zone” of the Wuhan Port, a crucial trading window between China, the Middle East and Europe. To be fully built upon completion of three phases, within the logistics center, there will be six operating zones, including port operation area, warehouse and distribution area, cold chain logistics area, rail cargo loading area, exhibition area and commercial zone. The logistics center is also expected to provide a number of shipping berths for cargo ships of various sizes. Wuhan Newport is expected to provide domestic and foreign businesses a direct access to the anticipated Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Free Trade Zone in Wuhan. The project will include commercial buildings, professional logistic supply chain centers, direct access to the Yangtze River, Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe Railway and ground transportation, storage and processing centers, IT supporting services, among others.

 

The new management team will be directed by Xiangyao Liu, who will serve as President, CEO, Secretary and Chairman of the Board.  Since 2012, Mr. Liu, (44) served as the Deputy General Manager of the Wuhan Huazhing Steel Trading Center Co., Ltd., which later became the Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co. Ltd. He supervised the transition of the steel trading center to a commercial complex which supports the warehouses and docks, led projects to bring the Steel Trading Center into the Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Free Trade Area in Wuhan, supervised the feasibility study of the Wuhan Yangtze Newport Logistics Center and collaborated with the local government to develop the Yangluo Newport Project Plan, handling corporate structuring, strategic planning and operation management of the company. In 2010, Mr. Liu participated in the investment of Wuhan Renhe Group Limited, which held the Wuhan Huazhing Steel Trading Center Co., Ltd. at that time, supervising logistic and trade of steel. He also started to engage in financial and security investments in Hong Kong. From 1996 to 2003, he invested and established the Pacific Trade and Logistics in China, served as the General Manager and engaged in the trading and logistics of steel, agricultural products and other commodities. Mr. Liu received his bachelor degree in Business Management from the Hebei Institute of Finance in 1994.

Mr. Liu will be supported by an international business team of seven Directors:  James Stuart Coleman (59) , Zhanhuai Cheng (68), Yanliang Wu (50), Yu Zong (45), Harvey Leibowitz (81) , Zhixue Liu (52), and Tongmin Wang (56). Official bios are included in the Company’s Form 8-K, filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Effective immediately upon the closing of the transaction contemplated in the Agreements, Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Secretary and Chairman of the Board, Jianfeng Guo, tendered his resignation as director and from all officer positions held in the Company. In addition, Vice President and Director, Yaojun Liu, tendered his resignation as Vice President, director and from all officer positions held in the Company.  In addition, Directors, Shan Cui, Ran Liu, and Yau On Tse tendered their resignation as Directors of the Company.

In addition, Kirin International Holding, Inc., filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, on December 18, 2015 fulfilling the Company’s reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in owners’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and suffered recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

1.ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd.(“the Company” and formerly known as Wuhan Huazhong Steel Trading Center Co., Ltd) is a company established under the laws of the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) on December 30, 2005. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was engaged in the trading of steel, and development and sales of commercial real estate properties in Wuhan city, Hubei province, People’s Republic of China (“China”, or the “PRC”).Since 2015, The Company has changed the business to involve in the port development and other logistics and transportation-related business.

 

The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd., a company incorporated in the PRC as at September 23, 2002. On July 13, 2015, Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd.(the “Wuhan Renhe”) transferred all of the equity interests of the Company to Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Limited (the “Ricofeliz”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on March 25, 2015 for RMB 186 million (about $30 million). Ricofeliz was incorporated by Energetic Mind Limited (the “Energetic Mind”), a company incorporated in British Virgin Island (“BVI).Energetic was incorporated by Mr. Liu Xiangyao on January 2, 2014, and was subsequently purchased by various companies incorporated in BVI or the United States of America (“USA”),among whom Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (the “Jasper”) became its 64% owner. Jasper was is 100% owned by Mr. Liu Xiangyao, a Hong Kong citizen. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the ultimate holding company of the Company is Jasper Lake Holdings Limited, which is incorporated in British Virgin Islands on July 3, 2015.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

2.1 Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  

 

The balance sheets are presented unclassified because the time required to complete real estate projects and the Company’s working capital considerations usually stretch for more than one-year period.

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. The factor raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has changed its principal business to the port development and other logistics and transportation-related business. Management believes the new business will contribute toward achieving profitability. The management plans to raise necessary working capital by equity financing and the ultimate owners would provide any capital shortfall. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2.2 Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; and (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds and compensation payables.

 

2.3 Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2.4 Property and equipment

 

The property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated in Note 7.

 

The Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

 

2.5 Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(ASC 360- 10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

2.6 Fair values of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables, other receivables, short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

2.7 Foreign currency translation and transactions

 

The Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting currency. The Company uses Renminbi Yuan(“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of operations.

 

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period.  Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

2.8 Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from steel trading when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.

 

Revenue from the sales of completed properties and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.

 

Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has not generated any revenue from the sales of real estate property.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2.9 Real estate capitalization and cost allocation

 

Real estate property completed and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction and units completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms of40years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value.

 

2.10 Capitalization of interest

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under development. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, nil and nil were capitalized as properties under development, respectively.

 

2.11 Advertising expenses

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $47,187 and nil, respectively.

 

2.12 Income taxes

 

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

 

The Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any uncertain tax position.

 

2.13 Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)

 

In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold. The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations. LAT would be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

2.14 Comprehensive income/(loss)

 

Comprehensive income/(loss) includes net income/(loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive income/(loss) is reported in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented on the balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

2.15 Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

 

2.16 Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments cover a wide range of Topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification). The amendments generally fall into one of the types of amendments listed below.

 

1. Amendments Related to Differences between Original Guidance and the Codification. These amendments arose because of differences between original guidance (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Issues, and so forth) and the Codification. These amendments principally carry forward pre-Codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the Codification. Many times, either the writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the Codification format and style. As a result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this section may relate to guidance that was codified without some text, references, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance.

 

2. Guidance Clarification and Reference Corrections. These amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied or misinterpreted.

 

3. Simplification. These amendments streamline or simplify the Codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the Codification.

 

4. Minor Improvements. These amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

 

The amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. In addition, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification. Transition guidance varies based on the amendments. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon issuance.

3. Risks

 

(a) Liquidity risk

 

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures.

 

(b)   Foreign currency risk

 

A majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers' invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

 

(c) Concentration risk

 

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, two customers accounted for all of sales, respectively.

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd.(“the Company” and formerly known as Wuhan Huazhong Steel Trading Center Co., Ltd) is a company established under the laws of the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) on December 30, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company was engaged in the trading of steel, and development and sales of commercial real estate properties in Wuhan city, Hubei province, People’s Republic of China (“China”, or the “PRC”).Since 2015, The Company has changed the business to involve in the port development and other logistics and transportation-related business.

 

The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd., a company incorporated in the PRCas at September 23, 2002. On July 13, 2015, Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd.(the “Wuhan Renhe”) transferred all of the equity interests of the Company to Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Limited (the “Ricofeliz”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on March 25, 2015 for RMB 186 million (about $30 million). Ricofeliz was incorporated by Energetic Mind Limited (the “Energetic Mind”), a company incorporated in British Virgin Island (“BVI).Energetic was incorporated by Mr. Liu Xiangyao on January 2, 2015, and was subsequently purchased by various companies incorporated in BVI or the United States of America (“USA”),among whom Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (the “Jasper”) became its 64% owner. Jasper was is 100% owned by Mr. Liu Xiangyao, a Hong Kong citizen. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the ultimate holding company of the Company is Jasper Lake Holdings Limited, which is incorporated in British Virgin Islands on July 3, 2015.

 

On June 30, 2015, Wuhan Renhe forgave a total amount of $285,413,074 with the Company. The Company has credited the amount of $285,413,074 to additional paid-in capital in the owner’s equity. The remaining outstanding balance of the amount due to Wuhan Renhe as of September 30, 2015 was $31,129,737.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

2.1 Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  

 

The balance sheets are presented unclassified because the time required to complete real estate projects and the Company’s working capital considerations usually stretch for more than one-year period.

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. The factor raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has changed its principal business to the port development and other logistics and transportation-related business. Management believes the new business will contribute toward achieving profitability. The management plans to raise necessary working capital by equity financing and the ultimate owners would provide any capital shortfall. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2.2 Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; and (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds and compensation payables.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2.3 Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

 

2.4 Property and equipment

 

The property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated in Note 7.

 

The Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

 

2.5 Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(ASC 360- 10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

2.6 Fair values of financial instruments

 

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables, other receivables, short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

2.8 Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from steel trading when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Real estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.

 

Revenue from the sales of completed properties and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by the full accrual method when (a) sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract or agreement, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.

 

Revenue and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.

2.9 Real estate capitalization and cost allocation

 

Real estate property completed and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction and units completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease terms of 40 years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized. Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value.

 

2.10 Capitalization of interest

 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under development. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, nil and nil were capitalized as properties under development, respectively.

 

2.11 Advertising expenses

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $8,006 and nil, respectively.

 

2.12 Income taxes

 

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

 

The Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any uncertain tax position.

 

2.13 Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)

 

In accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from30% to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures, including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed and majority of the units are sold. The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant PRC laws and regulations. LAT would be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

2.14 Comprehensive income/(loss)

 

Comprehensive income/(loss) includes net income/(loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive income/(loss) is reported in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented on the balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

2.15 Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

 

2.16 Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments cover a wide range of Topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification). The amendments generally fall into one of the types of amendments listed below.

 

1. Amendments Related to Differences between Original Guidance and the Codification. These amendments arose because of differences between original guidance (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Issues, and so forth) and the Codification. These amendments principally carry forward pre-Codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the Codification. Many times, either the writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the Codification format and style. As a result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this section may relate to guidance that was codified without some text, references, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance.

 

2. Guidance Clarification and Reference Corrections. These amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied or misinterpreted.

 

3. Simplification. These amendments streamline or simplify the Codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the Codification.

 

4. Minor Improvements. These amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

 

The amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. In addition, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in the Codification. Transition guidance varies based on the amendments. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon issuance.
