Sales revenues. Our sales revenues is generated from sales of heat exchange products. Sales revenues decreased by approximately $0.09 million, or 2.30%, to $4.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $4.10 million for the same period in 2016. Our sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2017 amounted to 305 units, a decrease of 27 units, from 332 units for the same period in 2016. Such decrease was mainly due to the decreased sales revenues from heat exchanger unit, offset by increase in sales revenues from plate heat exchanger and other products in the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared with the same period in 2016. Sales revenues from plate heat exchangers increased by $0.46 million, or 23.67%, to $2.40 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $1.94 million for the same period in 2016. Sales revenues from heat exchange unit decreased by $0.67 million, or 43.77%, to $0.85 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $1.52 million for the same period in 2016. Sales revenues from other products increased by $0.11 million, or 16.90%, to $0.75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $0.64 million for the same period in 2016. The demand for heat exchange units usually peaks from May to November due to its seasonality. We sold more heat exchange unit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 because the sales of heat exchange units in this period also contains orders made in 2015, which were produced and sold in 2016. We sold more plate heat exchangers due to a rise in demand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

TOTAL REVENUES |
$ | 4,006,321 | 100 | $ | 4,100,826 | 100 |
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues is primarily comprised of the costs of our raw materials, labor and factory overhead. Our cost of revenues decreased by $0.80 million, or 27.08%, to $2.17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $2.97 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales revenues were 54.11% and 72.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 18.38 percentage points. Cost of revenues decreased in a larger scale than decrease in sales revenues due to the difference in product structure between periods. Comparing the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, we sold less heat exchange units, a product that requires more material and labor to assemble compared to the rest of our products.
Gross profit. Our gross profit is equal to the difference between our sales revenues and our cost of revenues. Our gross profit increased by $0.71 million, or 62.97%, to $1.84 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $1.13 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in our gross profit was mainly attributable to decrease in cost of revenues. The average unit selling price of our products also increased by 6.34% in the three months ended March 31, 2017 in comparison with the same period in 2016. As a result of these factors, our gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to 45.89% from 27.51% for the same period in 2016.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with staff and support personnel who manage our business activities. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.12 million, or 57.63%, to $0.82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $1.94 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of sales revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 20.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to 47.35% for the same period in 2016. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily because more allowance for doubtful accounts was reserved in the three months ended March 31, 2016 due to slow-moving economy. We reserved less allowance for doubtful accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to a healthier collection of our receivables.
Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses consist of the costs associated with research and development personnel and expenses in research and development projects. Our research and development expenses decreased by $0.10 million, or 24.26%, to $0.32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $0.42 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in research and development expenses was mainly attributable to fewer new products was ordered, which led to less research and development activities.
Selling expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales-related costs. Our selling expenses increased by $0.81 million, or 57.90%, to $2.22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $1.41 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of sales revenues, selling expenses increased to 55.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to 34.32% for the same period in 2016. The increase was mainly due to the increase of products installment expenses and the Companys effort to develop new customers.
Loss before income taxes. Loss before income taxes decreased by $1.15 million, or 43.15%, to $1.51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $2.66 million for the same period in 2016. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in operating expenses.
12
Income tax benefits. Our income tax benefits decreased to $0.15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $0.35 million for the same period in 2016, as a result of lesser net loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.
Net loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, our net loss decreased by $0.96 million, or 41.21%, to $1.36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $2.32 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of sales revenues, our net loss was 33.98 % and 56.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.18 million. We anticipate that cash on hand will be sufficient to satisfy our ongoing obligations.
We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable is appropriate. We have an installment payment arrangement with our customers. The current economic upturn and strengthen the relationship between us and our customers, which in turn caused us to decrease our allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable from $8.37 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $7.58 million in the same period in 2017. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts at a rate of 25% for receivables aged between 1 to 2 years, 50% for receivables aged between 2 to 3 years and 100% for receivables aged over 3 years.
Our allowance of obsolete inventory is also appropriate because we purchase raw materials after we receive purchase orders. Although our customers may delay their payment or delivery schedules, which increase our inventories, they do not cancel their orders so as to cause us to classify the delayed inventories as obsolete inventories.
Although the situation of delayed payments and delayed delivery schedules is getting better in this period, we will still take the following measures to mitigate the situation: 1) send the collection letters or call the customers to request payment; 2) appoint specialists to visit our customers to collect payment; and 3) file law suits.
PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our PRC subsidiaries only out of their accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiaries are also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of their annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRCGAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends. Given that the Company and the PRC subsidiaries do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, we consider the impact of restrictions on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations is not significant.
The following table provides a summary of our net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $0.22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared with $1.56 million net cash provided by for the same period in 2016. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to the decrease in change in allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.47 million, bills receivable of $0.98 million, inventories, net of $1.18 million and accounts payable of $1.19 million, partially offset by increase in change in net loss of $0.95 million, trade receivables from a related party of $1.13 million which was our revenue generated from sales activities with Jilin Tongda Heat Transfer System Integration, Co., Ltd., and other payables and accrued liabilities of $0.75 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared with $0.27 million for the same period in 2016. The increase of net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increase in loans made to others of $1.74 million, offset by the repayment from others and related parties of $0.58 million and $0.23 million, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared with $5.41 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities is due to decrease in repayment of short-term loans. We did not repay any short-term loan for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $5.47 million repayment for the same period in 2016.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures were used primarily for the purchase of equipment to expand our production capacity and deposits for land use rights. The table below sets forth the breakdown of our capital expenditures by use for the periods indicated.
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||
2017 | 2016 | |||||
Purchase of equipment | 8,096 | 1,608 | ||||
Total capital expenditures | $ | 8,096 | $ | 1,608 |
We estimate that our total capital expenditures in fiscal year 2017 will reach approximately $0.85 million to buy the equipment for necessary products used in the nuclear power industry.
Obligations Under Material Contracts
Except with respect to the loan obligations disclosed above, we have no material obligations to pay cash or deliver cash to any other party.
Seasonality
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have been subject to seasonal variations. Our revenues usually increase over each quarter of the calendar year with the first quarter usually the slowest quarter because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese spring festival.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business, and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in the Chinese economy and our industry and continually maintain effective cost controls in operations.
14
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those we believe are most important to portraying our financial conditions and results of operations and also require the greatest amount of subjective or complex judgments by management. Judgments and uncertainties regarding the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under various conditions or using different assumptions. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Guohong Zhao, and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Zhigang Xu, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2017. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Messrs. Zhao and Xu determined that because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A Controls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which we are still in the process of remediating as of March 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for the description of these weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
During its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, our management identified material weakness related to our lack of: (1) Sufficient and adequately trained accounting and finance personnel (2) qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly; and (3) an internal audit department, which renders ineffective our ability to prevent and detect control lapses and errors in the accounting of certain key areas. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the first quarter of 2017, we continued to implement these remedial procedures.
Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
