Companies should disclose if they are unable to estimate the impact of a specific pronouncement, and provide disclosures including a description of the effect on accounting policies that the registrant expects to apply. These provisions apply to all pronouncements that have not yet been implemented by registrants. There are additional provisions that relate to corrections to several other prior FASB pronouncements.

Sales revenue. Our sales revenue is generated from sales of heat exchange products. Sales revenue decreased by $0.27 million, or 3.50%, to $7.54 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $7.81 million for the same period in 2016. Our sales volume in the three months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to 493 units, a decrease of 10 units, from 503 units for the same period in 2016. Such decrease was mainly due to decreased sales revenue from heat exchange unit and shell-and-tube heat exchanger, offset by increase in sales from plate heat exchanger, air-cooled heat exchanger, and other products in the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared with the same period in 2016. Sales revenue from plate heat exchangers increased by $0.28 million, or 9.06%, to $3.42 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $3.14 million for the same period in 2016. Sales revenues from heat exchange unit decreased by $0.83 million, or 29.50%, to $1.99 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $2.82 million for the same period in 2016. Sales revenues from air-cooled heat exchanger increased by $0.09 million, or 100%, to $0.09 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $nil for the same period in 2016. Sales revenues from shell-and-tube heat exchanger decreased by $0.27 million, or 100%, to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $0.27 million for the same period in 2016. Sales revenues from other products increased by $0.46 million, or 28.59%, to $2.05 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $1.59 million for the same period in 2016. We sold more heat exchange unit for the three-month period ended June 30, 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 generated more revenue from selling other products. This increase concentrates in the second quarter when production phase has begun.

The following table shows our sales revenue by product for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues decreased by $0.61 million, or 8.17%, to $6.85 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $7.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in the cost of revenues was generally in line with the decrease in our sales revenue. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales revenue were 59.35% and 62.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 3.28 percentage points. Comparing the six months ended in June 30, 2017 to same period in 2016, we sold less heat exchange unit, a product that require more material and labor to assemble compared to the rest of our products.

Gross profit. Our gross profit increased by $0.24 million, or 5.42%, to $4.69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $4.45 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 increased by 1.40% to $14,473 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 in comparison with $14,273 in the same period in 2016, and the average unit cost decreased by 3.91% to $8,590 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 in comparison with $8,940 in the same period in 2016. As a result of these factors, our gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased to 40.65% from 37.37% for the same period in 2016.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.17 million, or 6.66%, to $2.68 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $2.51 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of sales revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 21.07% for the same period in 2016.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses increased by $0.20 million, or 37.73%, to $0.73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $0.53 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in research and development expenses was mainly attributable to more product research and development due to different purchase order we have received for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to same period in 2016.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses increased by $1.07 million, or 28.88%, to $4.77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $3.70 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses increased to 41.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 31.08% for the same period in 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s effort to develop new customers, which lead to more travelling and other marketing activities.

Loss before income taxes. Loss before income taxes increased by $1.32 million, or 59.67%, to $3.54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $2.22 million for the same period in 2016. Such increase was mainly attributable to increase in selling and operating expenses.

Income tax benefits. Our income tax benefits increased to $0.47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, from $0.25 million for the same period in 2016, as a result of more net loss was generated in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Net Loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, our net loss increased by $1.10 million, or 55.99%, to $3.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $1.97 million for the same period in 2016. As a percentage of sales revenue, our net loss was 26.58% and 16.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.21 million. We anticipate that cash on hand and borrowing capacity under our bank loans will be sufficient to satisfy our ongoing obligations.

We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is appropriate. We have an installment payment arrangement with our customers. The current economic slowdown and China’s tightened credit policy led to delayed payments and delayed delivery schedules by our customers, which in turn caused us to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts from $8.18 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $8.69 million in the same period in 2017. To control inflation after a massive stimulus plan, the Chinese government tightened its credit policy. As a result, state-owned banks limited their lending to large state-owned corporations and privately held companies continue to have difficulty accessing capital. Most of our customers have been affected by the tightened credit policy and have limited access to capital. 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.

We expect that the trend of delayed customer payments and delayed delivery schedules will continue in the future. We have been taking 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; 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 PRC GAAP 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 $2.91 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2.48 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was mainly due to the increase in change in net loss of $1.10 million, outflow of inventories, net of $2.31 million, accounts payable of $1.42 million, other receivables, prepayments and deposits of $1.13 million, income taxed payable of $0.52 million, offset by increase in inflow of trade receivables from a related party of $1.13 million, and due from related parties of $4.92 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $0.83 million in the same period in 2016. The decrease of net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to increase in repayment from others of $2.11 million, offset by increase in loans made to others of $1.12 million, payments to acquire property, plant and equipment of $0.41 million, and change in restricted cash of $0.22 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.01 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with $1.16 million net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2016. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted from an increase in proceeds from related parties of $1.84 million, decrease in repayment of short-term loans of $8.06 million, offset by decrease in proceeds from short-term loan of $6.86 million and increase in repayment to related parties of $0.88 million.

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 periods indicated.

 

  Six Months Ended June 30,  

 

  2017     2016  

Construction costs

$  -   $  20,049  

Purchase of equipment

  442,333     5,971  

Total capital expenditures

$ 442,333   $  26,020  

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 second 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.

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 inadequate segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions, and our lack of: (1) sufficient and adequately trained accounting and finance personnel; (2) qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly; (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; (4) skills and understanding to operate, review, and supervise the process of bookkeeping under newly implemented ERP system; and (5) well-established procedures to identify, approve, and report related party transactions. 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 second quarter of 2017, we continued to implement these remedial procedures.

18


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 second quarter of 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition or operating results.
