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.

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.

PART I

 

Item 1. Description of Business

 

Overview

 

A & C United Agriculture Developing Inc., or the "Company," is a Nevada corporation formed on February 7, 2011. Our principal executive office is located at Oak Brook Pointe, Suite 500, 700 Commerce Drive, Oak Brook IL 60523. Tel: 630-288-2500.

 

In addition to the U.S. operation, the Company established a subsidiary A & C Agriculture Developing (Europe) AB in Stockholm, Sweden in October 24, 2013, which is located at Gamla Sodertaljevagen 134A, 141 70 Segeltorp, Sweden.

 

Since the inception, the Company's long-term goals have been to solve some of the major agricultural challenges in China, such as food safety issue, soil health problem and outdated farming practices, as well as to raise funds via an IPO to grow our business and to become the leader in the agriculture area. As the Company's name has suggested, the management team believes by unifying the valuable resources the Company is able to access, the above goals can be realized.

 

The Company has been and will be putting more resources in the seed business as it is still the main source of the Company's revenue. However, the Company has also been and will continue to be working to leverage the resources that it believes can be obtained via strategic alliances in the future on both sides of the Pacific Ocean in order to expand the business scope.

 

Current Operational Activities

 

The Company has enhanced the seeds business by providing value-added services to some of the major buyers. The Company has organized meetings, seminars and trainings in Europe and China, in order for buyers to learn the most advanced technologies and farming practices. Another aspect of value-added service is that the Company is spending more time and resources to conduct variety trials, so that the Company can share more experience of growing the variety and can provide more accurate characteristics about the variety.

 

The revenue of the third quarter is lower than anticipated due to delayed shipments, however the revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2016 is estimated to be higher than anticipated as it will include revenue for the delayed shipments. The management team will strive to maintain this momentum. On the other hand, the Company is focusing on increasing the profit margin by creating more value-added services.

 

The trials with CapGen are still progressing and the Company has identified a few varieties for test sales. We have invited the breeder to visit China again to better communicate the trend of the market. As of the reporting date, we have completed the meeting with CapGen. We have reviewed the trial results and communicated the popular varieties in both China market and Europe market. CapGen will provide us more varieties targeting the China market for us to trial.

 

Outside the seed business, the management team has also been working with potential investors on some of the major projects the Company has been working on. Currently, the Company is working with an investment group in Singapore on a project that is targeting overused farm lands. China central government just issued a new policy for zero increase of traditional fertilizer. It encourages organic, more eco-friendly solution for the soil health issue which we believe is serious in China. The Company believes this may create greater opportunities for the companies such as ours that have already put efforts in the field. There is no written agreement as of today and might never have one between the two parties however we have exchanged ideas and strategies of how the entire project should proceed. This project, according to the knowledge we have today, should be able to help us increase total revenue and build the foundation for what we hope one day could be an up-listing to the NASDAQ market.

 

During the next 12 months, we anticipate continuing our efforts to raise capital through follow up meetings with potential investors from Singapore, although there is no assurance we will raise capital from these or other investors as we have no contracts, agreements or commitments from this or other funding sources.

 

We believe we will have sufficient cash available (assuming we collect all our existing and anticipated sales and receivables) to fund all of our operational and SEC filing needs during the next 12 months.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

 

Currently we have sold vegetable seeds to distributors that are located Beijing and Guangdong provinces who resell these seeds throughout China. We currently sell only to distributors and not to end users. We select and test various types of seeds for different weather types at different locations. We believe that higher germination rate, high yielding, stability, relatively shorter maturity are the main criteria for most of the customers and end users. We currently offer and sell and in the future will continue to offer and sell only seeds that have not been genetically modified. GMO stands for genetically modified organism and is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. GMO vegetable seeds are not allowed to be sold in China. We do not have written contracts with our current customers and end users.

 

We primarily sell our seed through our network of distributors and dealers and brokers in China. We do not currently have or expect to have in the future formal distribution agreements with our distributors, but instead, will operate on the basis of purchase orders and invoices. The price, terms of sale, trade credit and payment terms are negotiated on a customer-by-customer basis. Our arrangements with our distributors do not include a right of return. Typical terms for customers require payment in full within 60 days of the date of shipment. In certain cases such as supply shortage, sales to our dealers will be paid in advance. Our credit policies are determined based upon the long-term nature of the relationship with our customers and end users. Credit limits are now and will continue to be established for individual customers based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer's trade accounts receivable.

 

We believe that selling through dealers and distributors will enable us to reach growers in areas where there are geographic or other constraints on direct sales efforts. We select dealers and distributors based on shared vision, technical expertise, local market knowledge and financial stability. We will limit the number of dealers with whom we have relationships in any particular area. In addition, we are building dealer/distributor loyalty through an emphasis on service, access to breeders, ongoing training and promotional material support.

 

Our best marketing tool has been and will continue to be the word of mouth. We have participated and plan to continue to participate in important national/international seed shows globally several times a year to networking and social marketing.

 

Supply and Trial Cycle

 

Based upon management's experience in the industry and our operating history to date, we believe there is an adequate supply in the United States of the types of vegetable seeds we intend to sell in China. We believe that with advanced technology and mature global seed accessibility, U.S seed companies have provided us with and will in the future continue to be able to provide us with the varieties Chinese end users are looking for. We continue to be focused on finding the right varieties. We first collect specifications from Chinese end users, then match them with the varieties available in the U.S. We ask suppliers for samples or sometimes purchase small amount of seeds. We then try them in various locations in China at different planting seasons.

 

We have identified most of the farms for potential trials from farms our management has worked with or are targeting for initial seed trials through the trial businesses run by our management. We have not encountered any significant obstacles in getting theses farms to test our seeds. These farms have their own trial areas side by side with their production farm land. We have sold and will continue to sell them our new varieties of seeds to plant in the trial areas next to the areas where they grow their vegetables with their existing seed varieties. We believe, and we have seen in operation, that this type of trial process do not significantly impact these farms current production, as it uses a small test area next to where they have traditionally grown their vegetables, and thus provides the best test results since our seeds will be used to grow vegetables in the same location and conditions as their existing vegetable production. The challenge we have is that not all the varieties we may initially select will prove to work as well as we believed in China. Some varieties we have trialed have worked and some have not. The trial cycle can be over a year in some cases.

 

We do not offering any material right of return on our product although we do reimburse buyers on a case-by-case basis if seeds we sell do not perform well for a particular grower through no fault of the grower.

Seasonality

 

Sale of vegetable seed is affected by seasonal planting patterns of farmers in the geographical areas in China which our seed varieties are currently will in the future be sold. We believe that our sales and earnings performance in North China typically will be the strongest in the autumn and South China in spring. We believe that our working capital requirements will be typically greatest in our second and third fiscal quarters since payments to growers are largely deferred until this time. We believe that our trade receivables will be at a low point in August and increase through the selling season to peak at the end of the second fiscal quarter.

 

Customers

 

We are currently selling our seeds only to wholesalers in China. We are continuing our efforts to ramp up our selling efforts in China in fiscal year 2016. Although we may source seeds and strategic agreement from the U.S. and Europe, we have not to date but might in the future plan on selling our seeds or conducting related aspects of our business other than in China.

 

Our Competition and Our Market Position

 

Competition in the vegetable seed industry in China and internationally is intense. We face direct competition by other seed companies, including small family-owned businesses, as well as subsidiaries or other affiliates of chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do. We are a small competitor in the market.

 

Our principal larger competitors are Monsanto, Syngenta, Limagrain, Bejo, China National Seed Group Co., Ltd. We compete with these larger competitors by offering more flexibility and quicker turnaround time when potential customers or distributors are asking for new seed varieties. There are about 50-60 small to mid-size local Chinese companies that are also importing foreign seeds with which we also compete. We use our management research on the American seed supplier market and contacts we have made with the American supplier market in competing with these competitors, although this may not give us any competitive advantage over our competitors.

 

However, many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater research and product development capabilities and financial, marketing and human resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may:

 

 

·

succeed in developing products that are equal to or superior to our products or potential products or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products or potential products;

 

 

 

 

·

devote greater resources to developing, marketing or selling their products;

 

 

 

 

·

respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or scientific advances which could render our products or potential products obsolete or less preferable;

 

 

 

 

·

obtain patents that block or otherwise inhibit our ability to develop and commercialize potential products we might otherwise develop;

 

 

 

 

·

withstand price competition more successfully than we can;

 

 

 

 

·

establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that enhance their ability to address the needs of our customers or prospective customers; and

 

 

 

 

·

take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than we can.

Environmental and Regulatory Matters

 

Our agricultural operations are subject to a broad range of evolving environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. These environmental laws and regulations are intended to address concerns related to air quality, storm water discharge and management and disposal of agricultural chemicals relating to seed treatment both for domestic and overseas varieties.

 

Compliance with these laws and related regulations is an ongoing process that is not expected to have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Environmental concerns are, however, inherent in most major agricultural operations, including those conducted by us, and there can be no assurance that the cost of compliance with environmental laws and regulations will not be material. Moreover, it is possible that future developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws and enforcement policies thereunder, and further restrictions on the use of agricultural chemicals, could result in increased compliance costs.

 

We also are subject to the Federal Seed Act (the "FSA"), which regulates the interstate shipment of agricultural and vegetable seed. The FSA requires that seed shipped in interstate commerce be labeled with information that allows seed buyers to make informed choices and mandates that seed labeling information and advertisements pertaining to seed must be truthful. The FSA also helps promote uniformity among state laws and fair competition within the seed industry.

 

Internationally, we are subject to various government laws and regulations (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar non-U.S. laws and regulations) and local government regulations. To help ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, we have adopted specific risk management and compliance practices and policies, including a specific policy addressing the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

 

We are also subject to numerous other laws and regulations applicable to businesses operating in China, including, without limitation, health and safety regulations. Specifically, vegetable seeds are allowed with to be imported from the U.S. into China with no Chinese taxes under an application process. For each import transaction, we need to submit the import/export application form that contains seed quantity and its Latin term to China Agriculture Department. If the seeds are not on a prohibited list, then the approval is granted. The procedure involves the following steps:

 

 

·

First, submit the import/export application form that contains seed quantity and its Latin term to China Agriculture Department. If the seeds are not on a prohibited list, then the approval is granted. We anticipate this will take approximately two weeks.

 

 

 

 

·

Second, Once we get the approval from the China Agriculture Department, we submit our request to a sub-department within China Agriculture Department to get the phytosanitary request, on which they will list all

 

 

 

 

·

the diseases China does not allow that might come with this variety we are importing. We anticipate this will take approximately two weeks.

 

 

 

 

·

Third, Once we get the list of diseases, we will send it to the seed supplier located in U.S., and the supplier will provide the phytosanitary certificate with the seed to indicate the seed does not contain any of the diseases listed in the phytosanitary request from China. We anticipate this will take approximately two weeks.

 

 

 

 

·

Finally, the original phytosanitary certificate will be sent with the seeds when we ship the seeds to the importer in China. An electronic copy will be sent to the importer as an advance notice.

  

The average total time it will take to secure all required permits for import of our seeds has been approximately five weeks, but in the future this period could be longer or shorter depending upon each particular seed variety we want to import. If we do not secure these required permits from the China Agriculture Department for each of our seed import transactions, we would not be able to import the seeds subject to that request or fill the related customers or distributors orders.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K.

 

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.

The Company has enhanced the seeds business by providing value-added services to some of the major buyers. The Company has organized meetings, seminars and trainings in Europe and China, in order for buyers to learn the most advanced technologies and farming practices. Another aspect of value-added service is that the Company is spending more time and resources to conduct variety trials, so that the Company can share more experience of growing the variety and can provide more accurate characteristics about the variety.

 

The revenue of the third quarter is lower than anticipated due to delayed shipments, however the revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2016 is estimated to be higher than anticipated as it will include revenue for the delayed shipments. The management team will strive to maintain this momentum. On the other hand, the Company is focusing on increasing the profit margin by creating more value-added services.

 

The trials with CapGen are still progressing and the Company has identified a few varieties for test sales. We have invited the breeder to visit China again to better communicate the trend of the market. As of the reporting date, we have completed the meeting with CapGen. We have reviewed the trial results and communicated the popular varieties in both China market and Europe market. CapGen will provide us more varieties targeting the China market for us to trial.

Outside the seed business, the management team has also been working with potential investors on some of the major projects the Company has been working on. Currently, the Company is working with an investment group in Singapore on a project that is targeting overused farm lands. China central government just issued a new policy for zero increase of traditional fertilizer. It encourages organic, more eco-friendly solution for the soil health issue which we believe is serious in China. The Company believes this may create greater opportunities for the companies such as ours that have already put efforts in the field. There is no written agreement as of today and might never have one between the two parties however we have exchanged ideas and strategies of how the entire project should proceed. According to the knowledge we have today, we hope that this project will be able to help us increase total revenue and build the foundation for what we hope one day could be an up-listing to the NASDAQ market.

 

During the next 12 months, we anticipate continuing our efforts to raise capital through follow up meetings with potential investors from Singapore, although there is no assurance we will raise capital from these or other investors as we have no contracts, agreements or commitments from this or other funding sources.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there was a total of $ 242,473 and $ 244,663 operating expenses respectively. The decrease was primarily in the reduction of professional fees as follows: $ 50,262 out of the total $ 242,473 was professional service fee due to Company filling with the SEC, and $ 93,036 out of the total $ 244,663 was professional service fee due to Company listing and filling with the SEC. However, this decrease was offset by increases in medical expenses, payroll and rent.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 32,745 and $ 69,501 at fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the working capital of $ 281,653 and $ 433,158 with liabilities of $ 72,974 and $ 109,316 for the same periods.

 

As of September 30, 2015, we have $ 32,745 in cash and $ 41,800 in account receivable. With general operating costs, bank service fees and those costs associated with SEC requirements associated with staying public, we anticipate an average monthly burn rate of no more than $25,000 during the next 12 months. We believe we will have sufficient cash available (assuming we collect all our existing and anticipated sales and receivables) to fund all of our operational and SEC filing needs during the next 12 months.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's Auditor's Report on the Financial Statements

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders of A & C United Agriculture Developing Inc

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of A & C United Agriculture Developing Inc as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and for the cumulative period from February 7, 2011 (date of inception) through September 30, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of A & C United Agriculture Developing Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and their cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and for the cumulative period February 7, 2011 (date of inception) through September 30, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note F to the financial statements, the Company's lack of operating history and financial resources raise substantial 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.

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

 

The Company had total revenue of $ 731,815 and $ 613,368 for the fiscal year September 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively and $ 2,489,412 for the period of February 7, 2011 to September 30, 2015.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

The Company's purchase cost is primarily from supplier, U.S seed companies. Based upon management's experience in the industry, we believe vegetable seeds supply in United State for the varieties we intend to sell is plenty. We believe that with advanced technology and mature global seed accessibility, U.S seed companies can provide the varieties Chinese end users are looking for. We are focused on finding the right variety. We first will collect specifications from Chinese end users, and then we will match them with the variety here. We ask samples or sometimes we purchase small amount of seed. We will then try them in various locations in China at different planting season. The challenge we have is that not all the varieties we may initially select will prove to work in China. The trial cycle can be over a year in some cases.

 

We do not anticipate offering any material right of return on our product although we may reimburse buyers on a case-by-case basis if seed which passed our trials does not perform well for a particular grower through no fault of the grower.

 

The Company had $ 245,525 inventory as of September 30, 2014.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Company had related cost of goods sold expense and freight cost of $ 10,614.

 

As a result, a total of $ 645,415 cost of goods sold was recorded for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015; and $ 2,242,537 cost of goods sold was recorded for the period of February 7, 2011 to September 30, 2015.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer has 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 September 30, 2015. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. This conclusion by the Company's Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer does not relate to reporting periods after September 30, 2015.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015 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 September 30, 2015, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2015 due to the material weaknesses set forth below. 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.

 

 
32
 

 

The material weaknesses 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.

 

This weakness also is due to our CEO and CFO being the same person.

 

2. Lack of Internal Audit Function – We lack sufficient resources to perform the internal audit function. This weakness also is due to our CEO and CFO being the same person.

 

In order to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, all work of the CFO is reviewed by a Director of the Company. 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. 

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended September 30, 2015, 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.

 

 
37
 

  

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 Oak Brook Pointe, Suite 500, 700 Commerce Drive, Oak Brook IL 60523.

Except as set forth above, applicable percentages are based upon 36,731,495 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 1, 2015.

 

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 

Loans from Officers/Shareholders

 

As of September 30, 2015, the officer, Yidan Liu and Jun Huang, loaned $ 46,474 to the Company for purchases and operating expenses. The outstanding balance bears no interest, is due on demand and is not the subject of a written note or agreement.

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 September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by us for the audit and other services provided by our auditor for fiscal 2015 and 2014.

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.
