PART I

ITEM 1.                BUSINESS

General

Great China International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “Great China Holdings”), through its various indirect subsidiaries, has been engaged for more than 25 years in commercial and residential real estate investment, development, sales and/or management in the city of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).  We conduct all our operation in the People’s Republic of China through our direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries; Shenyang Maryland International Industry Company Limited and Silverstrand International Holdings Company Limited.

The Company is currently focused primarily on real estate leasing, management, and consulting activities in the city of Shenyang.  There are no development projects underway at this time and no development projects were implemented during 2014.  As a result of these circumstances, the Company focused on leasing and property management, which accounted for all of our revenue in 2014.

Recent Developments

On March 31, 2015, we completed the sale of 2,300,000 shares of our common stock at a price of US$3.28 per share, or a total of $7,544,000, to two non-US business entities.  We intend to use the funding for company operations and developments.

Our subsidiary, Shenyang Maryland International Industry Co., Ltd., is in the process of forming a subsidiary company that will engage in the wholesale and retail distribution of prepackaged foods, dietary supplement, daily necessities, disinfection supplies, hygiene products, cosmetics, cleaning products, publications, and other consumer goods and products.
 
Building Leasing and Management Services

Our leasing and management services were conducted in 2014 primarily with respect to real estate projects we developed in prior years.  The following is a description of those projects.

President Building comprises three blocks of commercial buildings, including two commercial towers, situated in Shenyang City, Heping North Street, which is the financial district of Shenyang.  While the original intention was to sell the office space, management subsequently decided to retain the majority of the property for leasing purposes.  The buildings maintain a high occupancy rate with tenants that are primarily international companies.  Great China Holdings’ head office is situated on the 26th Floors of President Building.

When the President Building was built, it was one of the few commercial buildings in Shenyang that was positioned as premium commercial building.  Over the years, a number of commercial buildings were built to fulfill an increasing demand.  The President Building maintains its competitiveness mainly with its strong location at the financial center of Shenyang.  Tenant satisfaction is closely monitored and maintained through surveys and regular networking meetings.  Though minor renovations are ongoing in the Building, we anticipate no major renovations in the near future.  The aggregate occupancy rate for the two towers at the end of 2013 and 2014 was 99.36% and 96.32%, respectively, ranked among the highest in Shenyang.  The tenants as a whole are engaged in a variety of businesses, including real estate, foreign trade, investment, insurance, e-commerce, media, advertisement, and heath care.

Chenglong Garden, situated in Shenyang Huang Gu District, comprises 12 blocks of modern apartments consisting of 865 residential apartments, a number of retail shops and ancillary facilities including basement car parking facilities and parks.  We lease the retail shops and related commercial space, which comprise approximately 3,198 square meters of commercial space.

The Maryland Building consists of 12,858 square meters, of which 11,743 have been sold and the remaining 1,115 square meters are held for leasing purposes.

City of Shenyang

Shenyang is a city of approximately 8.2 million people in Liaoning Province, located in northeastern China (Manchuria), approximately 435 miles northwest of Beijing. The largest city in northeast China, Shenyang is the economic, cultural, transportation and trade center of the region, there being eight industrial cities within a 150-kilometer radius of Shenyang. Shenyang’s Taoxian International Airport is the largest airport in northeast China, and the city also has developed railway and expressway networks.  Shenyang is comprised of the following districts: (i) Heping District, better known as “Downtown”; (ii) Shen He District, just east of Downtown; (iii) Huang Gu District, situated directly north of Downtown; (iv) Da Dong District, located northeast of Downtown; (v) Tie Xi District; (vi) Yu Hong District; (vii) Dong Ling District; (viii) Su Jia Tun District; (ix) Hun Nan New District; and (x)  Shen Bei New District.

Shenyang is rich in industrial resources. Manufactures include heavy machinery, tractors, motor vehicles, cables, machine tools (Shenyang has one of the largest machine-tool plants in China), transformers, textiles, chemicals, paper products, medicines, and cement. Copper, zinc, and lead are also smelted in the city. Shenyang is also the seat of Liaoning University, Northeastern University, China Medical University, Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and numerous other specialized institutes.  In 2014, the gross domestic product in Shenyang increased by 6% from 2013.

Shenyang has experienced rapid renovation in urbanization since the PRC Central Government launched the “Developing the North East” Policy in 2003, and priority was given to Shenyang in the Policy. Shenyang urbanization has led to rapid and steady development in both residential construction and consumption, indicating the likelihood that the Shenyang real estate market will continue to develop and expand. Various Shenyang governmental policies aimed at implementing law and regulations and developing a business law framework have attracted both domestic and overseas investors to invest in Shenyang.

During the first nine months of 2014, consumer spending in Shenyang reached RMB 257.9 billion, which represents a 12.3% increase over the same period in 2013. We believe this indicates Shenyang is a growing urban area with a consumer base that can sustain robust residential and commercial real estate development, sales, leasing and management.  Though the current global economic slowdown has had an impact on China and Shenyang, we believe Shenyang will continue to develop at a pace faster than that of the national average.

Employees

The Company currently has 138 employees, 23 of whom are engaged in administration activities, and 115 of whom are engaged in property management activities.

Results of Operations

Comparison of operations for year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

The Company incurred a net loss of $4,313,420 for 2014, which represents an increase in net loss by $2,499,022 or 137.7%, compared with a net loss of $1,814,398 in the same period of 2013.  Components resulting in this decrease are discussed below.

Revenues increased by $291,279 or 3.8% from $7,694,913 for 2013 to $7,986,192 for 2014.  This increase is mainly a result of the growth of rental income, which increased by $242,769 or 4.4% from $5,579,651 for 2013 to $5,822,420 for the same period of 2014.  Rental income increased because the Company raised rental rates.

The cost of revenue decreased by $162,309 or 2.5% from $6,451,615 for 2013 to $6,289,306 for the same period of 2014, which is attributed to the decrease of management fee cost. 

The gross margin for the rental business was 13.2% and 9.6% for 2014 and 2013 respectively.  This increase was attributable to the company realized higher rental rates, but remained very stable rental cost.  The gross margin for the management business was 43.0% and 33.6% for 2014 and 2013, respectively.  This increase is mainly attributed to the cost decrease from maintenance in 2014 compared to the same period of 2013.

Selling expenses decreased by $9,688 or 18.5% from $52,326 for 2013 to $42,638 for 2014.  This decrease mainly attributed to the decrease of bonus for employees.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $2,576,122 or 140.9% from $1,828,869 for 2013 to $4,404,991 for the same period of 2014.  The increase is mainly because the Company accrued bad debt provision of $2,764,078 on loan receivable with the consideration of uncetain collectability of such loan amount.

Depreciation and amortization was $24,137 and $18,590 for 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Interest and finance costs was $2,129,690 and $1,481,824 in 2014 and 2013 respectively. The increase is mainly because the Company recorded interest income $650,680 from loans to third parties in 2013 and there was no such amount in 2014.

The Company earned $181,295 and $136,643 from disposal of parking lots in 2014 and 2013 respectively, which increased by $44,652 or 32.7% for 2014 compared with 2013.

Other income, net increased by $222,585 from $187,270 for 2013 to $409,855 for 2014, which is mainly a result of the Company receiving a tax refund of $162,349 during the second quarter of 2014.

Cash Flow Discussion

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for 2014 and 2013 were $1,685,766 and $1,692,781, respectively.  The decrease in net cash flow amounted to $7,015 or 0.4%, which was due primarily to the below factors:

the change of advance to suppliers decreased by $164,203 in 2014 compared with the same period of 2013,and tax payable decrease by $134,417 in 2014 compared with 2013 due to the Company received tax return in 2014..

Net cash flows used in investing activities were not significant.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $162,306 and negative$626,279 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was mainly related to Beijing Sihai Estate Company loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $21,352,624 as of December 31, 2014.  The Short Term Loans amounted to $21,242,304, and accounted for about 99.5% of the working capital deficit.  Subsequently in March 2015, the Company repaid US$ 11,281,952 (RMB 70,000,000), leaving a remaining principal of US$ 9,960,352 (RMB 61,800,000), The rest of the Short Term Loan is due in October 2015, and is secured by the Company’s real estate assets.  It has become common practice in China, for banks and companies to renegotiate loan extensions on an annual basis.  This is driven by the ever changing banking regulatory environment and a situation where banks are becoming more conservative.  Under the circumstances, most lending banks have usually worked closely with borrowers for loan extension or restructuring within the administrative guidelines of the government.  As State policies are issued outside the control of the banks in China and form part of the macro and micro-economic measures, many bankers and their customers work together to deal with the situation provided the borrowers are responsible.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
 
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
This Annual Report on form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
 
Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Biographies

The following is information on the business experience of each of the officers..

Jiang Peng was appointed as a director and as Chairman of the Board in May 2008.  Prior to this appointment, he had served in the previous five years as Chairman as General Manager of Shenyang Maryland, a subsidiary of Great China Holdings, where he played a key role in the development of several of our large real estate projects, including Chenglong Garden, Qiyun New Village and the President Building.  Jiang Peng is the brother of our largest shareholder, Frank Jiang, and was formerly a Director of the Company from July 2005 to July 2006.  Mr. Jiang’s long experience with the operations of the Company, specifically, and with the real estate business in the Shengyang market, generally, makes him particularly well qualified to serve as a director and manage the present operations and future development of the Company.

Sun Dongqing has served as a Director and as Chief Financial Officer since May 2008.  She graduated from Northeast University in 1991 with a major in Accounting and began her career in 1992 with the Company’s affiliate, Maryland International Industry Co., Ltd.

Audit Committee; Financial Expert

The Board of directors has not established an audit committee, so the entire Board of Directors performs the functions associated with an audit committee, including, evaluating financial reporting matters, monitoring internal controls, compliance with internal financial policies, and engaging the registered independent accounting firm to audit the financial statements of Great China Holdings.  None of our directors are independent under the definition set forth in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.  The Board of Directors has determined that Sun Dongqing is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Director Nominations

The Board of Directors has not made any changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominee’s to our Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Chairman of the Board also performs the functions and duties normally associated with a principal executive officer.  The Board of Directors does not have a lead independent director.  In light of the Company’s level of operations at present and its status as a smaller reporting company, the Board believes the Company’s current leadership structure is appropriate.  All of our Board members are engaged directly and regularly in the operations of the Company, so we believe the Board is exposed to, or has the opportunity to discover and evaluate, all areas of meaningful risk pertaining to the Company’s operations and to manage those risks at acceptable levels for the Company.

Great China Holdings has no formal audit committee.  However, as defined in Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the entire Board of Directors is Great China International’s de facto audit committee.

In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Board obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and Great China Holdings that might bear on the auditors’ independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.”  The Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence.  The Board also discussed with management, the internal auditors, if any, and Great China International’s independent auditors the quality and adequacy of Great China Holdings’ internal controls.  The Board reviewed with the independent auditors their management letter on internal controls, if one was issued by Great China Holdings’ auditors.

The Board discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all matters required to be discussed by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees”.

The Board reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of Great China Holdings as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, with management and the independent auditors.  Management has the sole ultimate responsibility for the preparation of Great China International’s financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for their examination of those statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Great China International Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great China International Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operation, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Great China International Holdings as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficit of $21,352,624 and $28,082,034 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively. In addition, the Company has incurred net loss in each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014 of $4,313,420 and $1,814,398 respectively. These factors as discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GREAT CHINA INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014

 

1.             Description of business

Great China International Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 4, 1987, under the name of Quantus Capital, Inc. The Company, through its various subsidiaries, is engaged in commercial and residential real estate leasing, management, consulting, investment, development and sales in the city of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, in the People’ Republic of China (“PRC”).

2.             Summary of significant accounting policies
 
Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances within the Company are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation

The Company uses the United States dollar for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency - Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. All assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement and statement of cash flows items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and other receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company reserved $1,817,799 and $1,868,025 respectively, for other receivable bad debt, and $705,691 and $723,282, respectively, for accounts receivable bad debt. The Company also reserved $4,778,713 and $2,064,853 respectively for loans receivable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over useful lives as follows:

Buildings
8-26 years
Equipment
5 years
Automobile
5 years
Office furniture and fixtures
5 years

F-7
 
 
 

 
 

Repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations and other comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred. 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.

Property and equipment are evaluated annually for any impairment in value. Where the recoverable amount of any property and equipment is determined to have declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. There were no property and equipment impairments recognized as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively.

Properties held for rental

Properties include buildings held for rental and land use rights, which are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over 20-26 years. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, net property held for rental amounted to $40,281,831 and $44,738,745 respectively. Accumulated depreciation of rental properties amounted to $33,350,033 as of December 31, 2014 and $30,957,503 as of December 31, 2013.

Revenue recognition

Rental income and management fee income – The Company recognizes the rental income on the straight-line basis over the terms of the tenancy agreements. The management fee, including the service fee mainly for property management, maintenance and repair, and security, is recognized quarterly over the terms of the tenancy agreements.

Real estate sales – Revenue from the sales of development properties is recognized by the full accrual method when the sale is consummated. A sale is not considered consummated until (1) the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, (2) all consideration has been exchanged, (3) any permanent financing of which the seller is responsible has been arranged, (4) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed, (5) the seller does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property, and (6) the usual risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Sales transactions not meeting all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method, all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.

Real estate capitalization and cost allocation – Real estate held for development or sale is stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest on indebtedness, real estate taxes, insurance, construction overhead and indirect project costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total estimated costs of multi-unit developments are allocated to individual units based upon specific identification methods.
 
Impairment – If real estate is determined to be impaired, it will be written down to its fair market value. Real estate held for development or sale costs include the cost of land use rights, land development and home construction costs, engineering costs, insurance costs, wages, real estate taxes, and interest related to development and construction. All costs are accumulated by specific projects and allocated to residential and commercial units within the respective projects. The Company leases the land for the residential unit sites under land use rights with various terms from the government of the PRC. The Company evaluates the carrying value for impairment based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. Write-downs of inventory deemed impaired would be recorded as adjustments to the cost basis. No depreciation is provided for construction in progress.
 
Other income

Other income consists of land leveling income, parking lot income, cleaning income and etc. This income was recognized as the services were performed and the settled amount has been paid in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

F-8
 
 
 

 
 

As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, there were no outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as options, warrants or conversion rights, which would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share as the effect of options outstanding at that time was anti- dilutive.

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.
 
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the difference are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Concentrations of business and credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company maintains large sums of cash in two major banks in China. The aggregate balance in such accounts as of December 31, 2014 was $8,740,426. There is no insurance securing these deposits in China. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China.

The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Statement of cash flows

Cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Recent accounting pronouncements

There have been no new accounting pronouncements during the year ended December 31, 2014 that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
 
 
Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2013 financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

3.             Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficit of $21,352,624 and $28,082,034 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  In addition, the Company has incurred net loss in the period ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $4,313,420 and $1,814,398 respectively.  As the Company has limited cash flow from operations, its ability to maintain normal operations is dependent upon obtaining adequate cash to finance its overhead, sales and marketing

activities.  Additionally, in order for the Company to meet its financial obligations, including salaries, debt service and operations, it has maintained substantial short term bank loans that have historically been renewed each year.  The Company’s ability to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months largely depends on the bank loans that involve interest expense requirements that reduce the amount of cash we have for our operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company is in the process of obtaining informal assurance from our current lender that our short term loans will continue to be renewed and further opening dialog with the lender to convert the short term loans to long term loans.  Additionally, the Company is assessing its ability to increase rental rates for its leasing business in order to generate additional revenue.  Further, the Company is continuing to focus efforts on cost containment to reduce general and administrative expenses.  With its relevant hands-on expertise, the Company also plans to expand operations to include property management.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

4.             Loans receivable

The company entered into series of collateralized loan agreements with third parties from 2009, the total loan receivable is $4,029,269 and $7,127,872 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

During 2011, the Company entered into a collateralized loan agreement with Beijing Sihai Real Estate Development Ltd., pursuant to which the Company loaned $2,788,254 due on November 29, 2013, and then resigned the agreement at the same terms due on November 29, 2015.  The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period plus 10%.  As of the December 31,2012, the balance of loan receivable was $3,916,449 according to the updated loan agreement. In 2013, the Company collected $2,304,742 on the loan, and then again made a loan of $2,925,249 to Beijing Sihai Real Estate Development Ltd.  In 2014, the Company collected $161,171 on the loan. Although the loan will be due on November 29, 2015, the Company accrued bad debt provision of $2,764,078 with the consideration of uncertain collectability of the remaining loan balance. On January 19, 2015, the Company subsequently collected $1,611,707 on the loan.  The net loan receivable from Beijing Sihai Real Estate Development Ltd., was $2,764,078 and $4,650,049 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

During 2011, the Company entered into a collateralized loan agreement with Shenyang Landing Concrete Ltd., pursuant to which, the Company loaned $2,417,561, due on March 27, 2013.  The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period.  On November 30, 2011, the Company, along with Shenyang Landing Concrete Ltd., reassigned the loan amount to Kaiyuan Hongyun Concrete Admixture Ltd., with the same terms due on November 30, 2013.  In August 15, 2013, the loan agreement was extended to August 15, 2015, on the same terms. As of the March 12, 2015, the company collected all the loan receivable from Kaiyuan Hongyun Concrete Admixture Ltd.

During 2009, the Company entered into an uncollateralized loan agreement with Zhongxin Guoan Ltd., pursuant to which the Company loaned $2,014,634 due on October 30, 2011.  The loan bore interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period.  Subsequent to the issuance of the loan, the Company determined that the loan was uncollectible and recorded a reserve on the entire loan amount.  Therefore this loan is not included in the loans receivable on the balance sheet. During the fourth quarter of 2011, this loan was reassigned to Shenyang Konggang New City Investment Development Ltd., who is working on a development project with Zhongxin Guoan Ltd.  The loan remains uncollateralized and is now due on October 30, 2015.  The loan bears interest at a variable rate based on the Peoples’ Bank of China lending rate applicable to the period.

11.           Statutory reserve

As stipulated by the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:
 
i.
Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any;
   
ii.
Allocations to the “Statutory Surplus Reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company’s registered capital;
   
iii.
Allocations of 5% to 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company’s “Statutory Common Welfare Fund”, which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company’s employees; and statutory common welfare fund is no longer required per the new cooperation law executed in 2006; and
   
iv.
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the stockholders’ general meeting.

12.           Segment information

ASC 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.

Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
 
During 2014 and 2013, the Company was organized into two main business segments: (1) Property for sale, and (2) Rental income and Income of management fee of commercial buildings. The following table presents a summary of operating information and certain year-end balance sheet information as of year ended of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(b)  
The Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, or any of their respective controlling persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any claim or litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Investor) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act through no fault of the Company, (ii) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 0 or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares, (iii)  any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or approved by the Investor expressly for use therein or (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto that was delivered to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor, and will reimburse the Company and each of the Company’s directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of the Company’s directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the liability of any Investor hereunder shall not exceed the net proceeds recognized by the Investor upon the sale of the Shares.
 
12
 
 

 
 
(c)  
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and, based upon the advice of such indemnified party’s counsel, the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action, plus local counsel, if appropriate) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
 
13
 
 

 
 
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Investor from the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement and the relative fault of the Company and the Investor in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by the Investor that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount the Investor paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by the Investor from such sale.  The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Investor and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.  The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph 0; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification.  The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, no Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
