HENGSHUI JINGZHEN ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

Hengshui Jingzhen Environmental Technology Company Limited (the “Company” or “Hengshui Jingzhen”) was formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on July 31, 2015. Hengshui Jingzhen provides integrated hazardous waste management services, including collecting, transferring, disposing, and recycling of hazardous waste, primarily in Hebei, China

 

On July 25, 2020, the Company, Shenzhen Biological Technology Company Ltd. (“Shenzhen Biological Technology”), an unrelated party, and Guanghui Wei, a shareholder of the Company, formed Hengshui Bicheng Environmental Technology Company Limited (“Hengshui Bicheng”) under the laws of PRC. In accordance with Hengshui Bicheng’s Articles of Organization, the Company owns 59.1% of the equity interest in Hengshui Bicheng, and Shenzhen Biological Technology and Guanghui Wei own 39.4% and 1.5%, respectively, of the equity interest in Hengshui Bicheng. The Company possesses control over Hengshui Bicheng as a majority shareholder of Hengshui Bicheng, and Shenzhen Biological Technology and Guanghui Wei are the minority shareholders of Hengshui Bicheng. As a result, Hengshui Bicheng became the Company’s subsidiary and Hengshui Bicheng’s financials are consolidated by the Company. Hengshui Bicheng aims at providing sewage treatment related services in the PRC. As of December 31, 2020, Hengshui Bicheng has not commenced any of its service operations.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and information have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 8-K for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2021.

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hengshui Jingzhen and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit with banks and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. There is no insurance securing these deposits in China. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

 

Accounts receivable, net of allowance

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Receivable balances are written off when they are deemed uncollectible.

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make payments on time. We review the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and make general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.

 

 

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30 2020, we recorded $1,202,942 and $1,152,564 allowances for doubtful accounts, respectively. We recognized bad debts of $Nil and $102,955 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Notes receivable

 

Notes receivable consists bank acceptance notes provided by customers. These notes were issued or endorsed by the Company’s customers to repay their balance due to the Company. These notes were guaranteed by the banks. Notes receivables are non-interest-bearing and are generally on terms of 3 to 12 months. The Company has the right to submit request for payment to the bank earlier than the scheduled maturity date, but will incur an interest charge and a processing fee when it submits the early payment request.

 

Advances to suppliers

 

The Company makes advances to certain vendors for purchase of material or equipment. The advances to suppliers are non-interest-bearing and unsecured.

 

Property, plant, and equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal.

 

Construction in progress consists of construction expenditure, equipment procurement, relevant miscellaneous expenditures, and is recorded at costs.

 

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:

 

		Estimated Useful Life
Buildings		20 years
Machinery and equipment		3 - 10 years
Office equipment		3 - 10 years
Vehicles		4 years

 

Intangible Asset

 

The Company’s intangible asset consists of land use rights. All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. However, the government may grant a "land use right" for occupying, developing and using land. The Company records land use rights obtained as intangible assets at cost, which is amortized using the straight-line method over the grant period of 50 years.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 

Value added tax (“VAT”)

 

All China-based enterprises are subject to a VAT imposed by the PRC government on their domestic product sales and services.  The output VAT is charged to customers who purchase goods from the Company and the input VAT is paid when the Company purchases goods from its vendors. Input VAT rates are 13% for the purchasing activities conducted by the Company. Output VAT rates are 6% for the labor services and 13% for the services other than labor services. The input VAT can be offset against the output VAT.  The VAT payable will be presented on the balance sheets when input VAT is less than the output VAT.  Recoverable balance, prepaid VAT, will be presented on the balance sheets when input VAT is larger than the output VAT.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. To determine the revenue to be recognized, the Company applies the following five-step model:

 

●

identify arrangements with customers;

 

●

identify performance obligations;

 

●

determine transaction price;

 

●

allocate transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the arrangement, if more than one exists; and

 

●

recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company generates revenues mostly from fees charged for hazardous waste management services, including waste incineration, disposal, and utilization. The Company’s most service projects are short-term ones, which are governed by master service agreements that lasts from half year to more than one year. These master service agreements are typically entered with the Company's larger customers, and outline the pricing and legal frameworks for such arrangements. Services fees are determined based upon weight or unit of volume of waste. Depending upon the type of hazardous waste, it is treated by one of the Company’s business lines: waste incineration, waste disposal, and waste utilization. The service fees are generally received or due from the customer when the waste is collected from the customer and transported to the Company’s facilities in accordance with customer’s contract terms. However, revenue from and the corresponding cost for the service are not recognized until the Company’s performance obligation, incineration, or disposal, or utilization, is completed. The period between waste collection and transportation and the final processing and disposal ranges depending on type of waste, but is generally measured in days.

 

Cash payments received or due from customers before revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the Company’s performance obligation is completed.

 

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source:

 

		Three Months Ended December 31,
		2020				2019
		Amount				Amount
Waste Incineration		$	3,485,886			$	2,174,548
Waste disposal			72,211				-
Waste utilization			290,945				166,409
Transportation and others			4,094				47,886
Total revenue		$	3,853,136			$	2,388,843

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred.

 

 

Related parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions (see Note 8). Parties are related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). All asset and liability accounts were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the income statement and cash flow statements are translated at the average rate in each applicable period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

The following exchange rates were used to translate the amounts from RMB into United States dollars (“USD$”) for the respective periods:

 

		December 31,				December 31,
		2020				2019
Period End Exchange Rate (RMB/USD)			6.5249				6.9762
Average Period Exchange Rate (RMB/USD)			6.6106				7.0314

 

Fair values of financial instruments

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivables, prepaid VAT, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, other payables, tax payable, and related party advances and borrowings. As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheets. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.

 

Business combinations and noncontrolling interests

 

The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it acquires as of the respective dates of acquisition. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price of our acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

 

For the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries, a noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Consolidated net income in the consolidated income statements includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

 

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued and their potential effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management does not believe that these recent pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

NOTE 3. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT, NET

This disposal did not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and, therefore, it did not present as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 205-20-45.

 

 

Disposal of Hengshui Jingzhi Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hengshui Jingzhi”)

 

On December 19, 2018, the Company and Hengshui Xingsheng Environment Protection Co., Ltd. (“Hengshui Xingsheng”) formed Hengshui Jingzhi under the law of P.R.China.

Hengshui Jingzhi aims at providing sewage treatment services to its industrial customers in China.

 

On July 30, 2020, the Company decided to dispose its equity interest in Hengshui Jingzhi and sold all its equity shares to two of the Company’s shareholders, Xiangyang Chang and Jianwei Zhang, for consideration of approximately $142,800 (RMB one million) in cash. Up to the date of disposal, Hengshui Jingzhi did not generated any revenue and had incurred small amount of organizational expenses which was included in the general and administrative expenses account in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $5,302 in other income for the year ended September 30, 2020. This disposal did not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and, therefore, it did not present as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 205-20-45.

 

NOTE 7. INCOME TAX

 

The Company is subject to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) at a rate of 25% on its net income. However, the PRC EIT Law stipulates that companies that are designated as Resources Comprehensive Utilization Enterprises are eligible for special EIT treatment. According to such tax rules, Hengshui Jingzhen is entitled to a three-year EIT exemption beginning on the date it first generated operation revenue, and an additional 50% discount on the normal EIT rate for the next three years following the expiration of the exemption. The Company has been certified as a Resources Comprehensive Utilization Enterprise and started to take the EIC exemption since the beginning of the calendar year of 2017. Under this special EIT treatment, from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019, the Company has benefited from the EIT exemption; and from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, the Company has been subject to the EIT at a discounted rate of 12.5% on its net income before tax.

 

Accordingly, the Company recorded $229,004 tax provision and $12,594 tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Provision for income tax consisted of the following:

Total		$	229,004			$	(12,594	)

 

A reconciliation of the income tax expense (benefit) between the statutory tax rate at 25% and the effective tax rate is as follows:

 

		Three Months ended December 31,
		2020				2019
PRC EIT statutory rate (25%)		$	460,792			$	237,316
Favorable tax rate			(230,396	)			(254,760	)
Permanent difference			(1,392	)			4,850
Income tax provision (benefit)		$	229,004			$	(12,594	)

 

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company's net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 are as follows:

 

		December 31,				September 30,
		2020				2020

NOTE 9. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

A novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first identified in China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all travels had been severely curtailed to protect the health of our employees and comply with local government guidelines, and we temporarily closed our office from February to early March 2020. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns in affected areas. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on our clients’ business, and, as a result, could adversely affect our business. Although China has already begun to recover from the outbreak of COVID-19 and our business has gone back to normal, the epidemic continues to spread on a global scale and there is a risk of the epidemic returning to China in the future, thereby causing further business interruption. The full impact of the pandemic on our business, operations and financial results depends on various factors that continue to evolve, which we may not be able to accurately predict for now.

 

Regulatory Risks and Uncertainties

 

We conduct all our business operations in China and our business operations and financial condition could be significantly affected by Chinese environmental regulations and enforcement policies. As Chinese environmental regulations continue to develop and evolve rapidly, we cannot predict the extent to which our operations may be affected by future enforcement policies as applied to existing laws, by changes to current environmental laws and regulations, or by the enactment of new environmental laws and regulations. There are numerous Chinese provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and the ultimate impact of complying with such laws and regulations is not always clearly known or determinable because regulations under some of these laws have not yet been promulgated or are undergoing revision. Our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected if we were required to increase expenditures to comply with any new environmental regulations affecting our operations. We may, in the future, receive citations or notices from governmental authorities that our operations are not in compliance with our permits or certain applicable regulations, including various transportation, environmental or land use laws and regulations. Should we receive such citations or notices, we would generally seek to work with the authorities to resolve the issues raised by such citations or notices. There can be no assurance, however, that we will always be successful in this regard, and the failure to resolve a significant issue could result in adverse consequences to us. As a result, we could incur material liabilities resulting from the costs of complying with environmental laws, environmental permits or any claims concerning noncompliance, or liability from contamination.

 

We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist at our facilities or at third-party sites for which we are liable. Enactment of stricter laws or regulations, stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations or the requirement to undertake the investigation or remediation of currently unknown environmental contamination at our own or third-party sites may require us to make additional material expenditures, which would adversely affect our profitability.

 

 

In addition, the demand for our services is substantially dependent upon the public’s concern with, and the continuation and proliferation of, the laws and regulations governing the waste disposal industry. A decrease in the level of public concern, the repeal or modification of these laws, or any signification relaxation of regulations relating to waste disposal and management would significantly reduce the demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

 

NOTE 10. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s revenue from two of its customers accounted for 23.7% and 10.0% of its total revenue. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s revenue from two of its customers accounted for 13.4% and 12.3% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively.

 

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Reverse Acquisition

 

On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into a series of contractual arrangements, including Equity Pledge Agreement, Exclusive Technology Development, Consulting and Services Agreement, Exclusive Option Agreement, and Irrevocable Power of Attorney (collectively, the “VIE Agreements”) with Beijing Asian League Wins Technology Co., Ltd (“Beijing ALW”), a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in the PRC and a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Energy (HK) Limited, a Hong Kong company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Enterprises Limited, a British Virgin Islands company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit Networks Inc. Summit Networks Inc., incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 8, 2014 and under the common control of the Company’s majority shareholder, Shuhua Liu, is a public shell company whose securities are traded over-the-counter. The transactions will be accounted for as a reverse merger (“Reverse Merger”). Upon the completion of these transactions, Summit Networks Inc., together with its subsidiaries, gained control over Hengshui Jingzhen, and the Company’s business became the business of Summit Networks Inc. and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, Hengshui Jingzhen’s financials will be consolidated with the financial statements of Summit Networks Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred after the date of the balance sheet through February 16, 2021, the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements and determined that no other subsequent event requires recognition or disclosure to the consolidated financial statements.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. 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 chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

 

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2020 due to the following material weakness that our management identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020:

 

1)

We do not have an Audit Committee — While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.

 

 

We plan to take steps to remediate this material weakness as soon as practicable by implementing a plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting including, but not limited to, hiring additional staff and/or outside consultants experienced in U.S. GAAP financial reporting as well as in SEC reporting requirements.  Our management team will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements.

 

Our management does not believe that this material weakness had a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations or caused our financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020 to contain a material misstatement.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

Except for the matter described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
