This Annual Report on Form 10-K, the other reports, statements, and information that we have previously filed or that we may subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and public announcements that we have previously made or may subsequently make include, may include, incorporate by reference or may incorporate by reference certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are intended to enjoy the benefits of that act. Unless the context is otherwise, the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K and those reports, statements, information and announcements address activities, events or developments that Flurida Group, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company” or “Flurida Group”) expects or anticipates, will or may occur in the future. Any statements in this document about expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “will continue,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” and similar expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this document. All forward-looking statements concerning economic conditions, rates of growth, rates of income or values as may be included in this document are based on information available to us on the dates noted, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results may differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements due to fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, government regulations, economic conditions and competitive product and pricing pressures in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct operations, including our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Report.
 
Certain risk factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations and cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, and you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The risks and uncertainties we currently face are not the only ones we face. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. There may be additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial to our business. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. If any such risks occur, our business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition could be materially affected in an adverse manner. Under such circumstances, you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
The industry and market data contained in this report are based either on our management’s own estimates or, where indicated, independent industry publications, reports by governmental agencies or market research firms or other published independent sources and, in each case, are believed by our management to be reasonable estimates. However, industry and market data is subject to change and cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey of market shares. We have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources. In addition, consumption patterns and customer preferences can and do change. As a result, you should be aware that market share, ranking and other similar data set forth herein, and estimates and beliefs based on such data, may not be verifiable or reliable.

Business
 
Our main business is the sale of appliance parts in Asia, Europe, Australia, North and South America.
 
We started to sell new products of high efficiency motor, crush motor and damper in 2013. We also continue to sell product we were already selling as of 2013 of stove, thermostat and other electronic components in 2013.

Our Main Products

We sell the following main types of appliance parts:
 
 
·
Automatic Refrigerator Build-in Icemaker: The automatic refrigerator build-in icemaker is designed for household refrigeration products, such as refrigerator, under-counter refrigerator, freezer to make the ice cubes automatically.

 
·
Refrigerator Through-Door or In-Door Ice Water System: Refrigeration Through-Door Ice Water System is the system that stores the ice cubes harvested from the icemaker, delivered and dispensed the ice, crushed ice or water to the refrigerator door through the electronic control system at the front of the refrigerator door. The through-door ice water system normally includes the following assemblies: ice bucket assembly, motor rail assembly, module assembly, facade assembly, housing assembly. The ice bucket assembly and the motor rail assembly can be located in the freezer, in the refrigerator door and or sealed chamber in the refrigerator.

·
Shade Pole Motor and Motor Assembly for Refrigerator or Freezers: The shade pole motor and motor assembly is a key part for refrigerators or freezers. Flurida Group Inc’s motor part is designed and specified for the refrigerators or freezers made by Electrolux, an US company with headquarter in Charlotte, NC. Flurida also supplies the motors and motor assemblies to Electrolux Europe facilities in Italy and Hungary.
 
 
·
 
 
High-efficiency Stove: a wood-fuel metal stove which we believe based upon our knowledge of the industry and competitive products has higher combustion efficiency, lower fuel consumption, lower pollution than the average “rocket stoves” on the market. Those stoves are being sold to users in under-developed countries to save them time in cooking and money in fuel while reducing CO2 emission and deforestation. 
     
 
·
Damper: A damper controls the rate of airflow from freezer into the refrigerator section. Those damper sold to users in China to build refrigerators.
 
This year we have developed some new products and are making preparations for mass production in 2014, as follows:
 
 
·
High-efficiency motor
    Flurida started developing high-efficiency motor since 2010. Through numerous tests and improvements, our customers have verified that our new model performs as we stated it would. We started small trial production in 2013 and our plan is to mass produce the high efficiency motors in 2014. Compared with regular motors, the efficiency of a high-efficiency motor triples the motor’s efficiency. It can be used, for example, for defrosting in refrigerators. 
     
 
·
Crush motor
    Flurida started developing crush motor in 2009. Through large amount of testing and improvements, we satisfied all customer requirements and have verified that our Crush motor performs as we stated it would. We intend to commence mass production of crush motors in 2014. The product is used for automatic ice crushing on built-in Ice Water Dispensing systems.
     
 
·
Electronic icemaker for GE
    After 3 years of product development, the design of electronic icemaker model is finalized and approved by GE. We plan to start mass production of the electronic icemaker model for GE in 2014.
     
 
·
Automatic icemaker for Haier
    We plan to start mass production of the automatic icemaker model for Haier in 2014.
     
 
·
Module for Electrolux
    After one year of testing and verification, Flurida's newly developed module is approved by Electrolux. The module is a complete automatic ice making and dispensing system which can dispense cubed ice, crushed ice and water.

Our Suppliers

The Company’s purchase is primarily from supplier, Chuzhou Fuda Mechanical & Electronics Co., Ltd (“ChuZhouFuDa”), which is related and managed by shareholder and director Jianfeng Ding.

Chuzhou Fuda, as a Chinese local manufacturer, will record their manufacturing costs and inventories based on the Chinese accounting regulations rulings. But, when Flurida Group, Inc. purchases the parts from Chuzhou Fuda, Flurida Group will record the actual costs paid to Chuzhou Fuda as the costs for inventory of Flurida Group, Inc. There is no any relationship for Chuzhou Fuda’s manufacturing historic costs with Flurida Group’s inventory value. Specifically, Flurida’s inventory value is equal to the purchase price or actual cost of the parts purchased from Chuzhou Fuda, and the purchase price of the parts will be fair market price. Flurida Group, Inc. will adopt the first-in and first-out inventory system according to generally accepted accounting principles in USA.

Flurida Group also purchased the products from suppliers, Zhong Nan Fu Rui Mechanical Electronics Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Zhong Nan Fu Rui”). It is also related and managed by shareholder and director Jianfeng Ding, and established in 2005 specializing in home appliance components and subassemblies manufacturing, and located in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China.

Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do.
 
Our major competitor in ice maker market is Nidec Servo Corp (formal Japan Servo Co., Ltd.) and Nidec Sankyo Corp. Nidec Servo and Nidec Sankyo are both headquartered in Japan. Nidec Servo produces the aluminum tray icemaker. Nidec Sankyo produces twisted icemaker.

Our major competitors in motors for refrigerators or freezers are AO Smith in USA market, EBM in Germany, MES in Switzerland for Europe market, and Hua Yi Co., Ltd. in China market.

Dividends
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock.

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
 
 
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
 
 
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution, unless otherwise permitted under our articles of incorporation.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; change in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; the risk of foreign currency exchange rate; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Although the forward-looking statements in this Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

In summary, for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2013, the Company incurred the total gross sales of $ 25,374,242. And the Company had sales discount and return of $ 115,081, so, a total of $ 25,259,161 net sales were recorded.
 
In both fiscal year period ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 sales, more than 80% of total revenues were generated through Electrolux controlled subsidiaries in various countries. Electrolux Group operated its each subsidiary independently in each country, and all the sales orders and sales contracts were negotiated and signed independently. Accordingly, we believe that lack of one or a few subsidiaries of Electrolux sales order may have effect on our overall sales revenue, but the effects were slightly reduced in 2013 vs 2012. We signed long-term distribution agreement with various Electrolux subsidiaries, the risk of loss the contracts with Electrolux is significantly low.

Cost of Revenue
 
Our Costs of Goods Sold, as we expected will increased slightly due to increasing Chinese Yuan’s currency exchange rate, labor costs, and raw materials. We anticipate this trend to continue and may adjust our unit price upward to reduce the impact of rising costs.

At the period ended December 31, 2012, the Company had ending inventory $ 2,278,467 that was majority purchased from ChuZhou FuDa.

From the period January 1 to December 31, 2013, Flurida Group, Inc. purchased Stoves from Zhong Nan Fu Rui and Qingdao FuDa Electronic at total cost of $ 302,103 for FOB shipping point at Qingdao, China.

The Company purchased Icemakers, motors, and parts from ChuZhou FuDa at total cost of $ 21,129,471 for FOB shipping point at Nanjing, China.

To manufacture the related refrigerator appliance parts, Chu Zhou Fu Da and Qingdao Fubida Electronic., needs key parts made in USA, which were purchased through Flurida Group, Inc. in USA. The costs of purchasing the parts were $3,367,289 in the period of January to December, 2013.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had total purchase of $ 24,798,863.

At the periods ended December 31, 2013, the company had total ending inventory at a value $3,818,684.

For the period of January 1 to December 31, 2013, the company had freight cost and other related cost of $ 11,852.

Therefore, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a total cost of goods sold of $ 23,270,498 which was increased 60 % comparing to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 cost of goods sold of $14,547,943. The increase of cost of goods sold was due to the sales increase, increasing Chinese Yuan’s currency exchange rate, labor costs, and raw materials. 

The cost of goods sold in the Statements of Operations includes costs of products purchased from suppliers, shipping costs or freight in costs for the products shipping FOB port China, warehouse costs, and other costs if any directly related to the products inspection, duty and custom taxes of products, internal transfer costs if any. The selling, general and administrative expense includes operation expense such as travel, professional, office rent, telephone, certification fees, wages and salaries for management and administrative employees, and other expense related to operation. There was no allocation of portion of any selling, general and administrative expense to the cost of goods sold.

Our gross margin may not be comparable to those of other entities, since some other entities may include all or allocate portion of the costs related to their distribution network into cost of goods sold.

Currently the Company has a sales agreement with Electrolux, such agreement require the Company to supply the motors, ice makers, and other parts based on Electrolux’s needs. However, due to the consignment arrangement with Electrolux, the Company would keep certain level of consignment inventory to meet the Electrolux’s requirements. In addition, due to the consignment terms with Electrolux, the sales would be recognized when the Electrolux withdraw the products or the consignment inventory at Electrolux’s warehouse for 60 days. In our due course of business dealing with Electrolux’s consignment sales, all the sales incurred in 2012 were for the products withdrew before the 75 days terms, i.e., the products might be considered as sales automatically based on the consignment terms. After the products withdrew by Electrolux, the Company may receive the payment in 7 days with discount through DB Supplier Finance.

Our activities for generating cash flows were operating activities in 2013 and 2012. The Company entered into a promissory note secured renewal loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) in the principal amount of $ 4,000,000 with East West Bank located in El Monte, CA. The maturity date of the Note was extended to July 10, 2014 with 4% annual interest rate. The loan is secured by all company inventories, accounts, equipment and general intangibles and certain other assets of the Company. The outstanding loan amount on this Loan Agreement is $ 1,900,000 as of December 31, 2013. The Company may only draw up to $ 2,000,000 on Sight Letters of Credit with maximum expiration date of 90 days from issuance, $ 2,000,000 on Standby Letters of Credit with maximum expiration date of one year from issuance and up to $ 4,000,000 on Clean Advance for up to 365 days. The remaining terms of the original loan are unchanged.

The management will continue to improve our current business on marketing, customer services and general administrative activities effectiveness; we still continually focus on developing our new products electronic ice maker.
 
We set up a R&D center at our California location. The primary function of an R&D group is to discover and create new knowledge about scientific and technological topics for the purpose of uncovering and enabling development of valuable new products, processes, and services. We are working on various products but none are fully developed and ready to market and we cannot assure you that any of the products we are working on will ever be fully developed or that we will be able to market or sell them in the future.

Specifically, the management still believes that within the operating activities, the efforts of collecting accounts receivables and making payments of accounts payables still are the primary factors for the changes of cash flows in the year 2013 and will continue in later years.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,116,298 at December 31, 2013 and $ 2,114,879 of working capital and $ 194,265 at December 31, 2012 and $1,637,866 of working capital.

The total debt of $ 5,101,544 for December 31, 2013 included total of $ 2,326,317 for Chu Zhou Fu Da, $ 4,366 for Qingdao FuDa, $ 77,905 for Fulu Finance Management Limited, $ 234,104 for US suppliers, $ 156,796 for salary and payroll tax payable, and $ 53,823 for all other account payable, $ 134,710 income tax liabilities, and $ 138,522 unearned revenue $ 1,900,000 loan from the Bank, and $ 75,000 Other Payable.

Our independent auditor has indicated that our customer concentration may raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if the Company is unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, then the Company may be required to cease or curtail its operations. However, due to the close relationship between the Company and its supplier, Chuzhou Fu Da and Zhong Nan Fu Rui, which is closely related and directly managed by shareholder and director Jianfeng Ding. Besides, as of December 31, 2013, the cash and cash equivalent balance was $ 1,116,298, the management believes that the revenues will be generated and its cash flows will be maintained to cover its operational costs and the risk of going concern in long term is significantly low.
 
Interest Rate Risk

We do not have significant interest rate risk, as our debt obligations (i.e., notes payables to shareholders which can be converted to common stocks). The annual interest rate of notes payable is 8%, and the interest expense would be accrued if the notes were not converted to common shares, and the notes holders request the Company for repayment of principles plus the interest. Seven non-affiliated loan holders asked the Company for repayment of notes plus interest on April 1, 2008. All remaining loan holders converted their loans to common shares on April 15, 2008.

Basics and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assume that any dilutive convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options for which market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by us with the related proceeds. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
 
The Company only issued one type of shares, i.e., common shares only.  There are no other types securities were issued.  Accordingly, the diluted and basics net loss per common share are the same.

Inventory

The inventory was valued at cost of purchase from suppliers.

Income Tax

Income taxes are provided for tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences in asset and liability bases relate primarily to organization and start-up costs (use of different methods and periods to calculate deduction). Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses and tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes. The deferred tax assets and/or liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The components of the deferred tax asset and liability are classified as current and concurrent based on their characteristics. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets based on management’s projection of the sufficiency of future taxable income to realize the assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations —The new guidance on business combinations retains the underlying concepts of the previously issued standard in that the acquirer of a business is required to account for the business combination at fair value. As with previous guidance, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values are recorded as goodwill. The new pronouncement results in some changes to the method of applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in a number of significant aspects. Under the new guidance, all acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and in-process research and development costs are recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Prior to the adoption, in-process research and development costs were immediately expensed and acquisition costs were capitalized. Further, the new guidance generally requires restructuring charges associated with a business combination to be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — The pronouncements define fair value, establish guidelines for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures regarding fair value measurements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — The pronouncement requires additional disclosures about the objectives of derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on Financial Statements. The pronouncement does not change the accounting treatment for derivative instruments.

Variable Interest Entities and Transfers of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — The pronouncement on transfers of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes the exception from applying variable interest entity accounting to qualifying special-purpose entities. The new guidance on variable interest entities requires an entity to perform an ongoing analysis to determine whether the entity’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The pronouncements are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
 
Management does not anticipate that the adoption of these standards will have a material impact on the financial statements

NOTE F – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s significant customers are Electrolux and its subsidiaries located in various countries.  Because of the concentration of the customers and Company’s heavily reliance on the Electrolux and its subsidiaries, the Company’s customer concentration may raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if the Company is unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, then the Company may be required to cease or curtail its operations.

However, in the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company generated significant sales revenue of $ 25,259,161.  Electrolux and its subsidiaries are operated independently in various countries, the management assess that it is unlikely if Electrolux and its subsidiary discontinue the purchase in near future due to the Company secured a purchase order in next three years with Electrolux and its subsidiaries.  In addition, the going concern may be mitigated due to the close relationship between the Company and it’s suppliers. The Company’s purchase is primarily from supplier, Chuzhou Fuda Mechanical & Electronics Co., Ltd (“ChuZhouFuDa”), which is closely related and directly managed by shareholder and director Jianfeng Ding.  Besides, as of December 31, 2013, the cash and cash equivalent balance was $ 1,116,298 , the management believes that the revenues will be generated and its cash flows will be maintained to cover its operational costs and the risk of going concern is significantly low or none.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2013. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This conclusion by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer does not relate to reporting periods after December 31, 2013.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the framework stated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Furthermore, due to our financial situation, we will be implementing further internal controls as we become operative so as to fully comply with the standards set by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on its evaluation as of December 31, 2013, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2013. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
 
18

 
 
The material weakness relates to the following:
 
1. Accounting and Finance Personnel Weaknesses – Our current accounting staff is relatively small and we do not have the required infrastructure of meeting the higher demands of being a U.S. public company. This material weakness also relates to a lack of personnel with expertise in preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in addition to the small size of the staff.

2. Lack of Internal Audit Function – We lack sufficient resources to perform the internal audit function.
 
In order to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, all work of the CFO is reviewed by the CEO. All unexpected results are investigated. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weaknesses, it will be immediately implemented. The Company continues to study the implementation of additional internal controls over accounting and financial reporting. 
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
 
The following tables set forth the ownership, as of the date of this prospectus, of our common stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, our directors, and our executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending or anticipated arrangements that may cause a change in control.

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. The business address of the shareholders is 22 W. Washington St., Suite 1500 Chicago, IL 60602.

Cost of Goods Sold

The Company’s purchase is primarily from supplier, Chuzhou Fuda Mechanical & Electronics Co., Ltd (“ChuZhouFuDa”), which is related and managed by shareholder and director Jianfeng Ding.

ChuZhouFuda is an appliance components and sub-assemblies manufacturer established on March 18, 2008. Chuzhou Fuda is located in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, China. The plant space is around 100,000sq. ft. with 18 molding machine up to 800 metric ton and 6 assemblies lines for appliance components and assemblies.

Chuzhou Fuda, as a Chinese local manufacturer, will record their manufacturing costs and inventories based on the Chinese accounting regulations rulings. But, when Flurida Group, Inc. purchases the parts from Chuzhou Fuda, Flurida Group will record the actual costs paid to Chuzhou Fuda as the costs for inventory of Flurida Group, Inc. There is no any relationship for Chuzhou Fuda’s manufacturing historic costs with Flurida Group’s inventory value. Specifically, Flurida’s inventory value is equal to the purchase price or actual cost of the parts purchased from Chuzhou Fuda, and the purchase price of the parts will be fair market price. Flurida Group, Inc. will adopt the first-in and first-out inventory system according to generally accepted accounting principles in USA.

Flurida Group also purchased the products from suppliers, Zhong Nan Fu Rui Mechanical Electronics Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Zhong Nan Fu Rui”). It is also related and managed by shareholder and director Jianfeng Ding, and established in 2005 specializing in home appliance components and subassemblies manufacturing, and located in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China.

At the period ended December 31, 2012, the Company had ending inventory $ 2,278,467 that was majority purchased from ChuZhou FuDa.

From the period January 1 to December 31, 2013, Flurida Group, Inc. purchased Stoves from Zhong Nan Fu Rui and Qingdao FuDa Electronic at total cost of $ 302,103 for FOB shipping point at Qingdao, China.
 
 
26

 

The Company purchased Icemakers, motors, and parts from ChuZhou FuDa at total cost of $ 21,129,471 for FOB shipping point at Nanjing, China.

To manufacture the related refrigerator appliance parts, Chu Zhou Fu Da and Qingdao Fubida Electronic., needs key parts made in USA, which were purchased through Flurida Group, Inc. in USA. The costs of purchasing the parts were $3,367,289 in the period of January to December, 2013.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had total purchase of $ 24,798,863.

At the periods ended December 31, 2013, the company had total ending inventory at a value $3,818,684.

For the period of January 1 to December 31, 2013, the company had freight cost and other related cost of $ 11,852.

Therefore, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred a total cost of goods sold of $ 23,258,647.

Director Independence

Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.
 
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
 
Enterprise CPA was our independent auditors for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.
 
The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by us for the audit and other services provided by our auditor for fiscal 2012 and 2013.

   
2012
   
2013
 
             
Audit Fees
  $ 27,500     $ 31,625

Tax Fees
               
All Other Fees
               
Total
  $ 27,500     $ 31,625  
 
As defined by the SEC, (i) “audit fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-K, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services by our principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “audit fees;” (iii) “tax fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) “all other fees” are fees for products and services provided by our principal accountant, other than the services reported under “audit fees,” “audit-related fees,” and “tax fees.”
 
Under applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence. The SEC’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent auditors. Until such time as we have an Audit Committee in place, the Board of Directors will pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors.
 
Consistent with the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
