PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

 

History

 

Greenpower International Group Limited (the "Company" or the "Registratrant")(formerly Boxwood Acquisition Corporation) was incorporated on April 20, 2011 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. On June 2, 2011, the Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by which it registered its class of common stock pursuant to such Act.

 

On February 10, 2012, the Company effected the acquisition of Greenpower International Group Limited of the British Virgin Islands ("Greenpower BVI") through the exchange of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for all the outstanding shares of Greenpower BVI (50,000 shares) (the "Acquisition") by which Greenpower BVI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Greenpower BVI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on September 16, 2011.

 

Prior to the Acquisition, Greenpower Delaware had no ongoing business or operations and was established for the purpose of completing a business combination with a target company, such as Greenpower BVI.

 

Through contractual arrangements, Greenpower BVI has management and voting control of Shenzhen Guoning New Energy Investment Co., Ltd, an operating company formed under the laws of Guangdong, China (“Guoning”), through a variable investment entity structure. By virtue of the Acquisition, the Company has management and voting control of Guoning and the operations of the Company and its business are conducted through Guoning. The Company does not, however, own the equity of Guoning, and instead exercises its control in Guoning through the variable investment entity structure involving Greenpower BVI.

 

Other than through its relationship with Guoning, the Company has no material assets or revenues.

 

 

Business and Operations

 

At December 31, 2012, the Company had sustained operating losses of $2,071,715. The Company's auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on management's ability to develop profitable operations and/or obtain additional financial from its stockholders or third parties. The consolidated financial statements included in this Report, assume that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The Company (through Guoning with which the Company has a contractual relationship) is in the business of energy management with the primary objective of commercializing energy-saving lighting products and services, primarily in China. The Chinese government is sponsoring tax and other government incentives for companies to enter into energy management contracts (“EMC”). The Company has availed itself of these benefits beginning in 2012. The Company receives two major tax benefits: (1) For the first three years, 100% waiver of all business enterprise income taxes for income generated from the EMC business. For the following three years, this waiver will be 50% of all enterprise business income taxes for income generated from the EMC business. (2) No circulation tax (including value-added tax and business tax) in operating the EMC business line. In a typical EMC agreement, an industrial business or large user of electricity hires a company to manage their electrical use.

 

The Company presently focuses on entering into EMCs with outdoor advertising (billboard) companies, particularly pillar billboard lighting, essentially replacing the traditional lights on the outdoor advertising with LED lights. The Company (through Guoning) receives a share of the reduction in the electrical bill received by the customer. The Company (through Guoning) also sells LED lights to consumers and businesses via direct sales or wholesale to other retailers.

 

The Company’s LED business model focuses essentially on energy performance sharing via replacing customers’ current illumination equipment with energy efficient LED lights and charges based on an agreed percentage of monthly utility bills saved. The Company provides customers with LED lights free-of-charge in exchange for entering into five-year or six-year EMC contracts whereby the Company will be entitled to a percentage of the energy savings achieved by the customer on a decreasing scale year–over-year. In the first year, the Company will typically receive 85% of the energy savings, with its share thereafter decreasing by five percentage points (5%) each year over the following four or five years.

 

In addition to the EMC contract business, the Company serves as a distributor of LED bulbs and light sets. To date, the Company’s LED product sales have generated revenue for the Company and such future revenue may exceed the Company’s EMC revenue over the short term. The Company, through Greenpower BVI, may enter into additional LED sales contracts for sales outside of China.

 

 

The Company entered into its first contract for EMC services in 2011 and at the time of this Report has not completed its performance under such contract. During 2012, the Company entered into 75 EMC contracts. The Company is marketing its EMC services to smaller customers and anticipates that such market will result with continuous orders by those customers for lighting products.

 

The Company has also begun to bid on EMC contracts that are outside the billboard lighting marketplace. In addition, the Company has only recently begun to enter into LED product sales contracts. Both the EMC and the LED business lines are still unproven and the Company is a new entrant to both markets. Moreover, the EMC service model is a new concept that was just recently introduced to the marketplace, and accordingly, this market has limited history and no long-term track record. The Company is currently in the process of developing new products, such as LED lights for tunnels, street lights and fishing boat lights (underwater).

 

The Company plans to expand its presence in the market with branch offices and distributorships. The Company anticipates that additional offices will add to the direct sales of LED lights as well as promoting the EMC business.

 

Guoning has established a branch office structure in order to develop and encourage contractor partners to provide timely and comprehensive services to localized customers in order to promote Guoning.

 

The Company has 15 branch locations. The Company has entered into written agreements with 17 regional distributors to provide showrooms, six of which have set up the actual showroom locations. All distributorships and the showrooms have entered into written contractual agreements with Guoning to act in their respective capacities.

 

Based on arrangements with the showrooms (which the Company entered through Guoning), the showrooms are proposed for several core functions, including: (a) offering a unique experience of high-end technology products to customers who run businesses involved in energy conservation; and (b) product marketing (i.e. users can experience products from Guoning directly to see the effects of energy conservation). Guoning authorizes use of the Company’s logo(s) and insignia, and that the showrooms manage products from Guoning. Further, the showrooms are expected to be responsible for their own respective management, financial affairs and operations. The showroom agents are expected to purchase products from Guoning directly and then sell these products in order to make a profit and/or sell products of Guoning on a traditional commission-based arrangement. The Company undertakes comprehensive training in the showrooms.

 

Guoning opens branch offices based on marketing conditions that it perceives to be beneficial for its business combined with the need for Guoning to efficiently develop its business across China. Opening branch offices allows Guoning an efficient means to enter regional markets by working in cooperation with local individuals that are more familiar with the regional conditions (e.g. geography, marketing, etc.).

 

 

The Company plans to market directly to the customer without substantial use of traditional media or advertising campaigns. The Company plans to reach target customers directly through limited, targeted media activities. For example, recently, Guoning released a promotion in a major media magazine in China to reach significant expressway customers that are likely to read this publication. In addition, Guoning was a title sponsor of the World Miss Pageant Conference in China. The Company also plans other targeted advertising and media blitzes that are likely to directly reach target customers for the Company’s products.

 

Products

 

The primary products of the Company are LED lights, specifically for outdoor billboards. The primary service of the Company is the EMC or Energy Management Contract. The Company provides customers with energy efficient and high quality LED lighting at no cost in exchange for a contract that gives the Company a share of the Company’s energy savings.

 

The Company customizes high-power LED floodlights for the outdoor advertisement lighting market. Compared to products of the same category, the advantages of the Company’s LED projector are the following:

 

·

Better heat elimination. Al-Mg alloy heat elimination technology is used to keep working temperatures low, which could reduce heat impact on related electronics, less lumen and longer product life.

 

·

Better sealing: New sealing technologies are applied and fulfill the requirement of precision equipment.

 

·

Better lighting: latest lens technology is used to control projection range, which reduces lighting inefficiency and improves illumination and uniformity.

 

·

Better coloring: the color rendering index reaches above 80 for the Company’s advertising projector, providing better coloring.

 

·

Better stability: core equipment white LED lamp are supplied by Cree America, therefore the product performance is stable.

 

·

Better power saving: Guoning LED floodlight uses 66W to replace 400W (real power consumption 460W) lamp. Most of the LED floodlights in the market use 110W lamp, hence the Company’s LED floodlight is the best power saving projector in the market.

 

The Company’s Guoning ‘Ouruishi” series LED lighting product offers several product features. There are 9 categories and 30 types of LED lighting products from ‘Ouruishi’ series product line, such as LED sensor lamp, human sensor swift, LED scenery lamp, LED daylight lap, sensory halogen lamp, sensory scenery lamp, LED sensory night lamp, LED sensory lamp, LED high power projector.

 

 

Guoning ‘Ouruishi’ series of lighting products use imported LED lighting source, and have qualities such as no UV, no infrared, no radiation, soft lighting effect, no strobe, frequent starting, and are a green environmental friendly lighting source. In addition, such series of lighting products have qualities such as strong anti-shock, anti-dust, low power consumption, low voltage, low heat, low lighting temperature, and safe to use. The LED lighting belongs to a solid lighting source, epoxy resin sealed, fixed lighting component, without problems of filament burning, heat deposit, and declined lumen. Its lighting time could reach 30,000 to 50,000 hours, which is 30 times of normal lamp, equals to non-stoppable lighting time above 3 years.

 

The compared performance between the Company’s LED floodlight and products from same category and 400 watt metal are as follows (with same lighting effect): The time to start the LED light is only a few seconds, whereas the 400W large facility usually requires several minutes. The LED product has lower power driven, low power consumption (single tube 0.05W), higher lighting efficiency (98%). LED lamp conserves 60%-80% of energy than traditional lamp, and it is easier to install and durable. It could work under any situation and environment. Also, the lighting stays within range whereas with bigger lamps it is dispersed, wasting light.

 

The Company attempts to ensure that each product fully complies with the quality requirements before reaching the marketplace through strict testing and experiment by its laboratory specialized team and technical personnel. Guoning also sends formal listed products over to the national testing institutions (China quality authentication center) to assess various technical parameters and ensure that the applied products conform to the state standards. Guoning also ensures quality supervision of the purchasing process by conducting third party supervision – notably, Guoning asks manufacturers to provide comprehensive inspection reports issued by inspection agency, include inspection of parts, qualifications of former supply chain and quality certificates. In addition, the technical team from Guoning strictly supervises production according to the cooperation agreement in place with the third party. With respect to procurement procedures of raw materials, Guoning and manufacturers have strict quality assurance agreements, and the quality of products and its components are indentified by institution of authentication.

 

Variable Investment Entity

 

The Company employed a variable investment entity (“VIE”) structure with Guoning. The VIE structure has the benefit of decreased operational costs and more flexibility in business. Without the VIE structure, Guoning would have substantially increased operating costs. For example, the Company would need to relocate its operations to an area designated for Foreign Owned Companies and the rents in those locations are substantially more expensive. In addition, such a designation would have included Guoning’s branch office locations as well. Further, employee costs, license costs and tax costs would also be increased substantially without use of a VIE structure. The Company believes that it would simply be at a competitive disadvantage if it did not employ the VIE structure with Guoning.

 

 

Variable Investment Entity Structure

 

The Variable Investment Entity Structure (the “VIE Structure”) is commonly used by Chinese companies that encounter legal prohibitions on foreign ownership of their businesses. Currently, the Company is not aware of any prohibition under applicable PRC law that precludes the Company from using a direct ownership (e.g. as a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenpower Delaware) structure with Guoning. The Company has nevertheless elected to use and maintain the VIE Structure in organizing its business and overall corporate structure.

 

The services fees that Guoning will pay to Greenpower BVI are calculated under the following method: Guoning provides the Company a monthly financial statement which is then reviewed and verified by the Company. If Guoning shows a net income loss for the month, then no monthly service fee is paid. If Guoning shows a net income gain/profit, then that income/profit will be paid to the Company. To date, no money has been paid to the Company. For the purposes of calculating whether Guoning made a profit or a loss, US GAAP standards are being used.

 

On October 26, 2011, the shareholders of Guoning entered into a set of variable investment entity agreements (“VIE Agreements”) with Greenpower BVI. The VIE Agreements specify, among other things, that: (1) Greenpower BVI will provide Guoning with guidance and instructions on daily operations, financial management and employment issues; (2) Greenpower BVI shall have the right to appoint or remove Guoning’s directors and officers; (3) Guoning will pledge its accounts receivable and all of its assets to Greenpower BVI; (4) Guoning will not sell, assign, transfer or encumber any assets or interests value at 100 RMB or more, without the written consent of Greenpower BVI; and (5) Guoning will pay 100% of its net revenue to Greenpower BVI for each fiscal year during the term. The term of the foregoing provisions is for 100 years and may be extended at the option of Greenpower BVI for an additional 100 years. In connection with the VIE Agreements, Guoning also granted an irrevocable power of attorney to Greenpower BVI specifying that the latter shall have full authority to act as the former’s attorney in fact for any and all lawful purposes.

 

The VIE Agreements also grant an exclusive option to Greenpower BVI to purchase any or all of the equity interest in Guoning at any time in next 100 years (subject to extension for an additional 100-year term by Greenpower BVI). In addition, pursuant to the VIE Agreements, all of the shareholders of Guoning have pledged all of their equity interests in Guoning to Greenpower BVI for a term of 100 years (subject to extension for an additional 100-year term by Greenpower BVI). Further, all of the shareholders of Guoning also executed an irrevocable proxy granting Greenpower BVI the right to exercise all of the voting rights in Guoning in the place and stead of the Guoning shareholders. The term of the proxy is for 100 years, subject to extension for an additional 100 years at the option of Greenpower BVI. The pledge agreements have been registered with the proper PRC Authorities, and an “Enterprise Shares Pledge Notice” was issued by the Shenzen Market Supervisory Authority.

 

 

On February 6, 2012, in conjunction with the VIE Agreements, Greenpower BVI and Guoning entered into an exclusive business cooperation agreement that provides that Greenpower BVI shall be the exclusive service provider to Guoning and will provide complete technical support, business support and related consulting services. In consideration for such services, Greenpower BVI is entitled to receive fees equal to 100% of the net income of Guoning, such fees being due and payable on a monthly basis. Pursuant to the exclusive business cooperation agreement, Greenpower BVI also has exclusive and proprietary rights and interests in all rights, ownership, interests and intellectual properties arising out of or created during the performance of the agreement, including, but not limited to, copyrights, patents, patent applications, software, technical secrets, trade secrets and others.

 

On February 6, 2012, in conjunction with the VIE Agreements, each shareholder of Guoning entered into an exclusive option agreement that allows Greenpower BVI to purchase additional shares of Guoning. Greenpower BVI paid 10 RMB to each shareholder for the option to purchase such shareholder’s equity interest in Guoning. Subject to Chinese laws and regulations, Greenpower BVI may exercise the option upon written notice to the shareholder. Unless an appraisal is required by applicable Chinese law, the purchase price of the interests shall be RMB 1.00 or the lowest price allowed by applicable laws and regulations. Greenpower BVI may elect to make payment for any equity interest (upon option exercise) by cancelling any outstanding loan amount owed by the applicable shareholder to Greenpower BVI. The exclusive option agreement is effective for 10 years, and may be renewed at the election of Greenpower BVI.

 

On February 6, 2012, in conjunction the exclusive business cooperation agreement and the VIE Agreements, each shareholder entered into a pledge agreement to ensure that Guoning fully performs its obligations under the exclusive business cooperation agreement. Each shareholder pledged to Greenpower BVI all of the shareholders’ equity interest in Guoning as security for the performance of that agreement by Guoning.

 

On February 6, 2012, in conjunction with the above-referenced agreements, each shareholder also entered into a power of attorney granting Greenpower BVI the right to act on behalf of the shareholder as the shareholder’s agent and attorney with respect to all matters concerning the shareholder’s shares in Guoning, including (without limitation) to: attend shareholders’ meetings of Guoning, exercise all of the shareholder’s rights (including voting rights) in Guoning, and designating and appointing the executive director, supervisor, the chief executive officer and other senior management members of Guoning.

 

The Company is considering an alternate structure or amendments to the VIE Agreements based on the formation of a wholly foreign owned entity (“WFOE”) in China. This WFOE has been formed in Hong Kong and is in the process of obtaining authorization. The WFOE would be 100% equity owned by Greenpower BVI. Such alternate structure or amendments would affect Guoning and Greenpower BVI as subject entities that are involved in the VIE Agreements.

 

 

The purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to provide Greenpower BVI (which was acquired by the Company) with all of the management and control of Guoning. While Greenpower BVI does not actually own at present all of the equity and shares in Guoning, the purpose and effect of the VIE Agreements is to instill in Greenpower BVI total management and voting control of Guoning for all material purposes.

 

The Company’s structure related to Guoning was instituted as a method of containing costs and to provide the Company with options to possibly conduct business in those fields where there is foreign ownership restrictions currently or in the future. The Company has analyzed that its operating expenses (General & Administrative / Sales & Marketing) for the Company would be two to three times greater operating under a direct equity subsidiary structure verses a contractual arrangement with Guoning. The increased operating expense in a direct equity subsidiary structure was determined to represent a less favorable economic model for the Company’s overall success.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this report, the two executive officers of the Company are its only employees.

 

Guoning has approximately 70 employees across its organization, in sales and marketing, service, finance and strategic development.

All employees are provided access to Company health plans, 401(k)-type endowment plans, unemployment insurance provisions and housing allowances, as is required in each instance by applicable Chinese law. In addition, certain employees receive group life insurance benefits through the Company.

 

Key officers of Guoning also have full-time written employment agreements in effect that govern their employment relationship with Guoning.

 

Guoning also has over 15 independent distributors who have been engaged to provide services at various locations. The distributors are typically charged with sales and marketing activities and may earn commissions for their efforts.

 

Subsidiaries

 

Greenpower BVI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company has no other subsidiaries, except that Guoning has been consolidated for purposes of the Company’s accounting. Greenpower BVI has management and voting control over Guoning, which comprises the core operations of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made in this Report are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements of Greenpower International Group Limited ("we", "us", "our," or the "Company") to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions of the continuing expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately, and many of which are beyond the control of the Company.

Overview

 

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

 

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

 

The Company is in the business of energy management, with the primary objective of commercializing highly efficient energy-saving LED lighting products and services. The Chinese government is sponsoring tax and other government incentives for companies to enter into energy management contracts (“EMC”). A typical EMC is an agreement whereby an industrial business or large user of electricity hires a company to manage their electrical use. The Company presently focuses on entering into EMCs with outdoor advertising (billboard) companies, essentially replacing the traditional lights on the outdoor advertising with LED lights. The Company receives a share of the reduction in the electrical bill received by the customer. A total of 76 agreements have been entered into as of the date hereof and physical property has been purchased, designed and installed in regard to such business. Further, these contracts are delivering the contractually agreed upon lease payments and income to the Company. Furthermore, the Company also sells LED bulbs and light sets to consumers and businesses via direct sales or wholesale to other retailers and distributors.

 

 

The Company entered into its first contract for EMC services in 2011, and has started its performance under such contract. During fiscal year 2012, the Company has successfully added many other EMC contracts, and as of the date of this Report has approximately 80 EMC agreements in effect. Moreover, the Company believes that since the EMC service contract model is a new concept that was just recently introduced to the marketplace, the market has limited history and no long-term track record on which to base its performance.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

While the Company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of its financial statements under the Financial Statements section “Note 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES”, the Company believes that the following accounting policies are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating this discussion and analysis:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

Foreign currency translation - The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Guoning is the local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”). For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of Guoning are translated into United States dollars (“USD”) in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1605 and USD $0.1589, respectively. The average exchange rates for the year and the period from September 16, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1585 and USD $0.1547, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the cumulative translation adjustment of $12,635 and $31,688, respectively, was classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

 

Recent Accounting Policies

 

See Note 3 of our financial statements that describe the impact, if any, from the adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

 

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

Comparison of the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2011

 

Net revenue for the year ending December 31, 2012 was $708,913 compared with $34,483 for the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011. The increase in net revenue of approximately $674,000 or 1956% is a result of the Company’s development and expansion of its business in the market since inception in late 2011. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $233,279, compared to $14,687 for the period ended December 31, 2011. All costs are relevant to sales of light products.

 

Selling expenses for the year ending December 31, 2012 and the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011 were $713,609 and $34,801, respectively. The significant increase of approximately $679,000 or 1951% in selling expense was primarily due to the Company’s investment in expansion of the market. General and administrative expenses for the reporting period in fiscal 2012 and 2011 were $1,425,182 and $385,587, respectively, an increase of approximately $1,040,000 or 270%. The main reason for the increase was attributable to the Company’s business development and the commitment to its EMC contracts, which required an increase in personnel expenses, in addition to increased costs to maintain a public reporting company.

 

 

Net investment in direct financing leases as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $538,435 and $71,119, respectively. This increase is due to a growth in the number of EMC contracts. Inventory net of obsolescence reserve went up from $83,144 as of December 31, 2011 to $569,207 as of December 31, 2012. This change mainly came from LED bulbs and light sets inventory purchased for stock sales and the new EMC contracts initiated in 2012, and was funded primarily by the change in accounts payable, notes payable to related parties, and short term borrowings. Accounts payable as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $617,656 and $17,852, respectively; notes payable to related party and short term borrowings was $432,577 and $844,604 as of December 31, 2012, respectively, and were both zero at December 31, 2011.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $37,037 as of December 31, 2012, compared to $76,850 as of December 31, 2011, a decrease of approximately $40,000 or 52%. The main reason for the decrease was due to the increase in outflow of net cash used in operating activities during fiscal 2012. A summary of cash flows for the reporting period of fiscal 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

 

						From September 16, 2011
		For the Year Ended				(Inception) to
		December 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
Operating activities		$	(1,756,802	)		$	(1,265,155	)
Investing activities			(5,470	)			(67,410	)
Financing activities			1,721,485				(301,677	)
Effect of change in exchange rate on cash			974				(18,721	)
Net change in cash during the period		$	(39,813	)		$	(1,652,963	)

 

Cash flows used in operating activities were $1,756,802 during 2012, as compared to $1,265,155 in the prior year. The increase of approximately $492,000 or 39% in the use of cash was resulted from the increased losses from operations and changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily from the purchase of inventory and an increase in lease payment receivable and unearned income. As discussed the above, we incurred significant operating expenditures in selling and general and administrative expense since inception in 2011 for the Company’s business development and the commitment to its EMC contracts, which required an increase in personnel expenses, in addition to increased costs to maintain a public reporting company.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $5,470 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $67,410 during the period from Inception to December 31, 2011. Cash flows in investing activities came from purchase and disposal of equipment during each period.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $1,721,485 in 2012, compared to $301,677 used in the prior year. Our financing in 2012 came from capital contributions, notes payable to related parties, and short term borrowings. See Note 9 and 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

 

As of December 31, 2012, we had working capital deficit of approximately $1,519,000. Since December 31, 2011, our working capital has continued to decline as a result of continuing losses from operations. In order to maintain our current level of operations, we will require additional working capital from either cash flow from operations or from the sale of our equity or debt securities. If we are unable to acquire additional working capital, we will be required to significantly reduce our current level of operations. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 states that due to our losses from operations and lack of working capital there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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

 

Commitment – Issuance of Common Stock

 

Pursuant to a Joint Development, Customization and Equity Allocation Contract on LED Advertising Lamp (“Agreement”) with one supplier, dated September 25, 2011, the Company is obligated to grant up to 10 million shares, prorated based on the total outstanding common shares of the Company (of a 2% ratio, 10,000,000 of the 500,000,000 authorized), two officers of the supplier for all product patent rights, trademark rights, software copyright and the domestic marketing exclusivity rights applied by the supplier and subsequently granted to Guoning. In November 2012, the supplier transferred those 12 approved patents to Guoning. Since there are 21,000,000 shares of common stock currently outstanding, the Company is obligated to issue 420,000 shares to the supplier. The Chairman of the Company will transfer his existing shares to the supplier instead of the Company issuing new shares. The Company estimates that the transfer/issuance of shares would tentatively occur near the end of 2013. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Greenpower International Group Limited and Subsidiary

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greenpower International Group Limited and Subsidiary (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also include 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 2, the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 810 and related subtopics related to the consolidation of variable interest entities.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $2,071,715 from September 16, 2011 (Inception) to December 31, 2012. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2, which includes the raising of additional equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Greenpower International Group Limited AND SUBSIDIARy

NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS Organization and description

 

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

 

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

 

As a result of the Acquisition, Greenpower BVI has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company has taken over the management and control of Greenpower BVI. The Company has also taken over the operations and business plan of Greenpower BVI, which has management and voting control over Shenzhen Guoning New Energy Investment Co., Ltd, a company formed under the laws of Guangdong, China (“Guoning”), through a variable investment entity ("VIE") structure pursuant to contractual agreements dated October 26, 2011 and subsequently strengthened in February 2012.

 

Guoning was formed in January 2011 and was formerly known as Shenzhen Muren Technology Industry Co., Ltd. (“Muren”). Muren was incorporated in the Guangdong Province, Shenzhen City of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on March 4, 2004 as a limited liability company with no common shares issued or outstanding. Prior to January 4, 2011, Guoning was in the business of purchasing, assembling, and furnishing customized, made to customer order laboratory equipment, furniture and lighting instruments. On January 4, 2011, in connection with the execution of an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”), Mr. RenHua He (“He”), the vice president and one of the two shareholders, transferred his ownership to the other shareholder, Mr. Jiong Zhang (“Zhang”), who became the Chairman of a newly registered entity, Guoning. Pursuant to the Agreement, Guoning’s prior business in laboratory equipment and furniture was divested to He, leaving a focus on the LED lighting business going forward.

 

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

 

The following diagram illustrates the corporate structure of the Company as of December 31, 2012:

 

 

Contractual agreements are summarized in the following paragraphs:

 

 

Greenpower International Group Limited AND SUBSIDIARy

NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of Guoning have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, net assets included in the consolidated balance sheets total $1,468,319 and $2,408,660, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011, the consolidated VIE’s net loss was $1,096,474 and $195,531, respectively. Currently there are contractual arrangements that could require Greenpower BVI to provide additional financial support to the consolidated VIE.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

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

 

The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods.

 

 

Greenpower International Group Limited AND SUBSIDIARy

NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Reverse merger accounting

 

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

 

Principles of consolidation

 

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

 

Use of estimates

 

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

 

Concentrations of risks

 

Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade receivables and advances to suppliers. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, part of the Company's cash was held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables and advances to suppliers, the Company extends credit based on evaluations of the customers' and suppliers' financial position and business history with the Company. The Company generally is required to make advances to suppliers.

 

Currency convertibility risk

 

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

 

 

Greenpower International Group Limited AND SUBSIDIARy

NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

 

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

 

Concentration on suppliers

 

The number of our suppliers increased from one in 2011 to around ten in 2012. Among all, we are required to prepay RMB 10,000,000 (approximately USD$1,605,000) in respect of production lamps to be produced since 2011. Please see Note 7. During the reporting periods, our concentration on suppliers is as follows:

 

		Year ended December 31, 2012																Period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011
		Purchase				% of total				Accounts Payable				% of total				Purchase				% of total				Accounts Payable				% of total

Concentration on customers

 

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, all of the Company’s revenue was generated in the PRC. In the EMC business, we received our first customer in September 2011 and entered into the only contract in 2011 at such time with the first payment received in November 2011. The EMC business subsequently increased to 47 customers with total 76 contracts in 2012. During the reporting periods, our concentration on customers in EMC business is as follows:

 

		Year ended December 31, 2012																Period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011
		Revenue				% of total				Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease				% of total				Revenue				% of total				Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease				% of total
Customer A		$	79,130				34.71	%		$	102,827				19.10	%		$	9,294				100.00	%		$	71,119				100.00	%

Starting in late 2011, we sell all types of LED bulbs and light sets to the market. In this stock sales business, concentration on customers for each reporting period is as follows:

 

		Year ended December 31, 2012																Period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011
		Revenue				% of total				Accounts Receivable				% of total				Revenue				% of total				Accounts Receivable				% of total

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, all of our cash was denominated in RMB and was partially held on hand by Guoning. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company does not have any cash equivalents.

NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial positions of the customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required. For those amounts identified as doubtful after assessment, the Company makes specific provision for these doubtful amounts. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers ranging from 30 to 90 days in the normal course of business. The Company does not accrue interest on trade receivables. Allowance for doubtful accounts made as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $10,673 and zero, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. The Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory aging analyses. The Company writes down the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventory inherited from the prior entity of Guoning was fully reserved in the prior year. The amount presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is net of a valuation allowance of $72,584 and $105,207 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Equipment

 

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

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

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

 

Revenue recognition

 

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

 

Sales of products

 

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

Investment in direct financing lease

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Commission

 

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

 

Allowance for sales returns

 

On a case-by-case basis, we accept returns of products from our customers, without restocking charges, when they can demonstrate an acceptable cause for the return.  Requests by a distributor to return products purchased for its own inventory generally are not included under this policy.  We will, on a case-by-case basis, accept returns of products upon payment of a restocking fee, which is generally 10% of the net sales price.  We will not accept returns of any products that were special-ordered by a customer or that otherwise are not generally included in our inventory.  There was no allowance for sales returns reserved at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

 

Cost of revenue

 

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

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011, the amount charged to advertising expense was $2,571 and $9,309, respectively.

Income taxes

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Comprehensive loss

 

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

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Guoning is the local currency, RMB. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of Guoning are translated into United States dollars (“USD”) in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1605 and USD $0.1589, respectively. The average exchange rates for the year and the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31 2011 were RMB 1.00 for USD $0.1585 and USD $0.1547, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the cumulative translation adjustment of $12,635 and $31,688, respectively, was classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. There was no significant fluctuation in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to United States dollars after the balance sheet date.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair value accounting guidance defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” The definition is based on an exit price rather than an entry price, regardless of whether the entity plans to hold or sell the asset. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

·

Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

·

Level 2 : Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

·

Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

 

Greenpower International Group Limited AND SUBSIDIARy

NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payables, accrued liabilities, short term borrowings, and notes payable to related parties approximates their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Loss per common share

 

Basic loss per common share excludes dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Since the Company has only incurred losses, basic and diluted loss per share is the same. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no outstanding dilutive securities.

 

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

 

						From September 16, 2011
		For the Year Ended				(Inception) to
		December 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
Loss available for common shareholder		$	(1,671,122	)		$	(400,593	)
Basic and fully diluted loss per share		$	(0.08	)		$	(0.04	)
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted			19,767,760				10,000,000

 

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

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

Issuance of common stock

 

Pursuant to a Joint Development, Customization and Equity Allocation Contract on LED Advertising Lamp (“Agreement”) with one supplier, dated September 25, 2011, the Company is obligated to grant up to 10 million shares, prorated based on the total outstanding common shares of the Company (of a 2% ratio, 10,000,000 of the 500,000,000 authorized), to an officer of the supplier for all product patent rights, trademark rights, software copyright and the domestic marketing exclusivity rights applied by the supplier and subsequently granted to Guoning. In November 2012, the supplier transferred those 12 approved patents to Guoning. Since there are 21,000,000 shares of common stock currently outstanding, the Company is obligated to issue 420,000 shares to the supplier. The Chairman of the Company will transfer his existing shares to the supplier instead of the Company issuing new shares. The Company estimates that the transfer/issuance of shares would tentatively occur near the end of 2013. Please see Note 7.

 

Litigation

 

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

 

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

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

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

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Going concern

 

The Company has sustained operating losses of $2,071,715 since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations, and / or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and / or other third parties.

 

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

 

Management began a new business model after divesting the prior business component in 2011. On September 28, 2011, Guoning entered into an agreement with a new customer initiating the new business model - Energy Management Contract (“EMC”). The EMC model focuses essentially on replacing customers’ current illumination equipment with energy effective LED lights and charges based on an agreed percentage of savings on monthly utility bills. During year 2012, the Company has added 75 additional customer contracts under this new business model. The Company expects the EMC model will deliver additional customers in a systematic and orderly manner in the future. The Company is marketing this lease model to customers in a manner that will generate initial smaller contracts with follow on orders for lights that recur with the same customer over time. In addition to addressing the market with its lease model, the Company is expanding its presence in the market via branch offices and franchising. The Company expects these additional offices will add to the direct sales of LED lights in the market, as well as promoting the EMC business. The Company continues to explore combinations and/or partnerships with suppliers to become the ultimate distributor of LED lights in the commercial and other markets in China.

 

NOTE 3 – RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

 

Adopted

 

Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) of Fair Value Measurement – Topic 820 (ASU 2-11-04).” ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on fair value measurement. A variety of measures are included in the update intended to either clarify existing fair value measurement requirements, change particular principles requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend to change the application of existing requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05)”. ASU 2011-05 is intended to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of accounting guidance in this area with that of the IASB. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12).” ASU 2011-12 defers the provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of both the statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income. Amendments under ASU 2011-05 that were not deferred under ASU 2011-12 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11: Balance Sheet (topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires new disclosure requirements mandating that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-11 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02)”. This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of ASU 2013-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

 

Accounts receivable consisted of the following at December 31:

Accounts receivable		$	110,625			$	-
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts			(10,673	)			-
		$	99,952			$	-

 

The majority of the Company’s product sales are on open credit terms and in accordance with terms specified in the contracts governing the relevant transactions. The Company evaluates the need of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. There was no writing off of uncollectible accounts in either fiscal 2012 or 2011.

 

NOTE 5 – NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASE

 

Our direct financing leases include a lease of the LED advertising lights under our EMC business model. Under the terms of the contracts in force as of December 31, 2012, we are paid monthly payments. At the end of the lease terms for each contract that last either 5 or 6 years, we will convey all of our LED advertising lights installed to the lessee for no payment. In addition, the contract requires the customer to pay for installation of the LED lights and also to compensate the Company an amount of approximately RMB 2,200 (approximately USD$350) per light if the lights are stolen or damaged by the customer. The customer is also affirmatively required by the contract to maintain the LED lights in a manner so that they do not become damaged.

Inventory inherited from the prior entity of Guoning was fully reserved in the prior year. Finished goods – LED lights for lease are LED advertising lights purchased for leasing purposes. From time to time, these lights are pre-installed at customers’ sites for testing purposes, usually 15 to 30 days ahead of the official contract signing date.

 

NOTE 7 – ADVANCES TO SUPPLIER

 

On September 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Joint Development, Customization and Equity Allocation Contract on LED Advertising Lamp (“Agreement”) with one of its suppliers to develop and produce the LED lighting sets on a collaborative basis. Under the Agreement, Guoning can order product units from the supplier with pre-agreed prices on a defined timeline of anticipated product acquisitions. Guoning shall prepay RMB 10,000,000 (approximately USD$1,605,000) in respect of production lamps to be produced in two equal installments, RMB 5,000,000 (approximately USD$803,000), on each of the signing day and after the total production exceeds 2,000 units. The RMB 10,000,000 deposit remains with the supplier and can only be applied upon future LED purchases greater than the first 200,000 units ordered. The supplier is obligated to provide product maintenance for free for five years and product change service if quality issues arise. In the warranty period, if the equipment is faulty, because of product quality issues, it is to be changed by the supplier without charge. The Agreement also provides that research and development expenses are spent by the supplier, and Guoning agreed to pay a mold fee of RMB 475,600 (approximately USD$76,000), which is recorded as accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Further, the supplier invested in, and subsequently granted to, Guoning, the product patent right, trademark right, software copyright and the domestic marketing exclusivity right. In consideration, two officers on behalf of the supplier will be granted 10 million shares prorated based on the total outstanding shares of the Company when such patent rights are received by the supplier and then duly transferred to Guoning. In November 2012, the supplier has transferred those 12 approved patents to Guoning. The Company estimated that the issuance of shares would tentatively occur near the end of 2013.

The depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the period from September 16, 2011 (Inception) through December 31, 2011 was $27,673 and $7,654, respectively.

 

NOTE 9 – SHORT TERM BORROWINGS

 

During 2012, the Company obtained various short term borrowings from a private party lender. These borrowings are unsecured and bear annual interest of 1% with a maturity of one year. These borrowings are used for business expansion and general corporate liquidity. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, total outstanding short term borrowings amounted to $844,604 and $0, respectively.

 

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

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

 

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

 

Pursuant to the contractual arrangements entered into by and between Guoning and Greenpower BVI, dated October 26, 2011, Greenpower BVI will provide consulting services and daily operational guidance and instructions to Guoning. Through these contractual arrangements, Greenpower BVI will have the ability to substantially influence Guoning’s daily operations and financial affairs and will be able to appoint the senior members of management. Greenpower BVI is considered the primary beneficiary of Guoning and thus consolidates its results in its consolidated financial statements. Greenpower BVI does not have any equity interest in Guoning, but instead has the right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through its Contractual Arrangements with Guoning. As a result, the equity interest from Guoning was recognized as paid-in-capital upon consolidation in the amount of $2,572,503 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

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

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

 

United States of America

 

The Company and its subsidiary are subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdiction in which they operate. As the Company had no operation in the United States, there was no tax expense or tax liability.

 

British Virgin Island

 

Greenpower BVI is incorporated under the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands and, accordingly, is exempted from payment of British Virgin Islands’ income taxes.

 

People’s Republic of China

 

The Company’s major operating subsidiary, Guoning, is subject to PRC tax laws. Prior to January 1, 2008, PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”) was generally assessed at the rate of 33% of taxable income. In March 2007, a new enterprise income tax law (the “New EIT Law”) in the PRC was enacted which was effective on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law generally applies a uniform 25% EIT rate to both foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises.
