1. Corporate information

THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc. (the “Company” or “THT” or the “Surviving Corporation”) is a Nevada corporation with major operations in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC").

2. Description of business

The Company is a holding company whose primary business are conducted through its subsidiaries, namely Siping Juyuan which is located in the Jilin Province and Beijing Juyuan which is located in Beijing City of the PRC. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and trading of plate heat exchangers and various related products.

Siping Juyuan was established in the PRC on May 31, 2006 following the division (the “Division”) of Siping City Juyuan Heat Exchange Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Old Juyuan Company”) into three companies, namely Siping Juyuan, Siping City Juyuan Heat Exchange Equipment Co., Ltd. (“New Juyuan Company”) and Siping City JuyuanHanyang Pressure Vessels Co., Ltd (“JuyuanHanyang Pressure Vessels”).

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation and consolidation and going concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC in the Company’s Form 10-K on April 17, 2018.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the nine-month period have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Company has suffered from recurring losses from operations since 2017. The Company needs to secure additional funds to meet future cash flow requirements given the Company’s current cash position and amount of short-term borrowings outstanding. The Company has taken various actions to conserve cash, procure additional financing and improve the liquidity, including reducing capital spending. The Company’s ability in meeting future cash flow requirements is dependent on many events outside of its direct control, including, among other things, successful renewal of bank borrowings and additional financing from banks and related parties.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Certain amounts from prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification has resulted in no change to the Company’s retained earnings or net income presented.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Fair value of financial instruments

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximated their fair values due to short maturities or the applicable interest rates approximated the current market rates.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements”, which affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. These amendments represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Codification, eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications in current guidance. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance. However, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”. These amendments affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02 including those regarding residual value guarantees, rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase option, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, investment tax credits, lease term and purchase option, transition guidance for amounts previously recognized in business combinations, certain transition adjustments, transition guidance for leases previously classified as capital leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for modifications to leases previously classified as direct financing or sales-type leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for sale and leaseback transactions, impairment of net investment in the lease, unguaranteed residual asset, effect of initial direct costs on rate implicit in the lease, and failed sale and leaseback transactions. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of ASU 2018-10, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-10 on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which is not yet effective. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments also provide lessors with a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component in certain circumstances. For the entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date for this ASU are the same as those for ASU 2016-02, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-11 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with the movement amongst or hierarchy associated with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of ASU 2018-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)” and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance or implementation guidance between August 2015 and November 2017 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2017-13, and ASU 2017-14 (collectively, including ASU 2014-09, “ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method, which result in an immaterial impact. See Note – 4 Revenue Recognition for further details.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (ASC 230): Restricted Cash” update on the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance requires an entity to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, and an entity will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this new accounting standard retrospectively during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As a result of the adoption, net cash provided by investing activities was adjusted to exclude the changes in restricted cash, resulting in a decrease of $189,999 in net cash used in investing activities in the previously-reported amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company's restricted cash represents cash deposits in bank to pledge the performance bonds issued by the banks when requested by the Company’s customers under their sales contracts, separately from cash and cash equivalents.

4. Revenue Recognition

Adoption of ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)"

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed or substantially complete as of January 1, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historic accounting under Topic 605.

Management has determined that the impact of the transition to the new standard is immaterial to the Company’s revenue recognition model since the Company’s revenue recognition is based on point in time transfer of control. Accordingly, the Company has not made any adjustment to the opening retained earnings.

Revenue for sale of products is derived from contracts with customers, which primarily include the sale of heat exchanger products. The Company’s sales arrangements do not contain variable consideration and are short-term in nature. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time based on management’s evaluation of when all performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied and control of the products has been transferred to the customer. For vast majority of the Company’s product sales, the performance obligations and control of the products transfer to the customer when products are delivered and customer acceptance is made.

Management has determined after-sale expense was immaterial to the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the Company does not establish provision for estimated warranty liabilities.

Disaggregation of Revenue

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by products. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories meets the disclosure objective in ASC 606 which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors. Refer to Note 11 for information regarding revenue disaggregation by product.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The effective tax rate was -32% and 2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate was 29% and -4% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company assesses the need for any deferred tax asset valuation allowance at the end of each reporting period. The determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed is subject to considerable judgment and requires an evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence. The Company’s assessment concluded that maintaining valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was appropriate, as the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets resulted from net operating losses will not be realized.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company adopted a new tax regulation released by the State Administration of Taxation and Ministry of Finance of the PRC on May 7, 2018, pursuant to which the Company is allowed to deduct the proceeds spent on property, plant and equipment, excluding building, purchased from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 for tax purpose, given the value of each qualified purchase is below RMB5 million. As a result, the Company recorded $147,909 of deferred tax liability under the new tax regulation for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

For the purpose of presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, certain deferred income tax assets and liability have been offset. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the balance of deferred tax assets was $3,297 and $159,574, respectively.

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected the Company, including, among others, a reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, and a recognition of the U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company upon enactment of the 2017 Act. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the 2017 Act in the period of enactment. In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the 2017 Act, which allows the Company to recognize the provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date.

The Company’s management is in the process of gathering information and evaluating the amount of the one-time transition tax mandated by the 2017 Act, and a reasonable estimate cannot be determined at this point in time. The Company expects to finalize its calculation of the one-time transition tax in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Tax Contingencies

Our research and development expenses decreased by $0.10 million, or 24.04%, to $0.31 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $0.41 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease in research and development expenses was mainly attributable to less product research and development to accommodate purchase orders for different products we have received for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to same period in 2017.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses include sales commissions, travel cost, the cost of advertising and promotional materials, salaries and fringe benefits of sales personnel, after-sale support services and other sales-related costs.

Income before income taxes increased by $5.32 million, to $0.32 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from loss before income taxes of $5.00 million for the same period in 2017. Such increase was mainly attributable to the decrease in cost of revenue.

Income tax expense. Our income taxes expense decreased to $0.10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $0.11 million for the same period in 2017.

Net income (loss) attributable to THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc. common shareholders: As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, our net income attributable to THT Heat Transfer, Inc. common shareholders increased by $5.25 million, to $0.21 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from net loss attributable to THT Heat Transfer, Inc. common shareholders of $5.04 million for the same period in 2017.

Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest represents the ownership interests the Center holds in SipingJuyuan and the amount recorded as non-controlling interest in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive loss is computed by multiplying after-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 by the percentage ownership in SipingJuyuan not directly attributable to us.

Sales revenue. Our sales revenue increased by $7.76 million, or 31.19%, to $32.63 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $24.87 million for the same period in 2017. Our sales volume in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 amounted to 2,176 units, an increase of 533 units, from 1,643 units for the same period in 2017. Such increase was mainly due to increased sales revenue from plate heat exchanger, heat exchange unit, and other products in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared with the same period in 2017. Sales revenue from plate heat exchangers increased by $5.05 million, or 47.21%, to $15.74 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $10.69 million for the same period in 2017. Sales revenues from heat exchange unit increased by $1.78 million, or 23.91%, to $9.25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $7.46 million for the same period in 2017. Sales revenues from other products increased by $0.99 million, or 15.45%, to $7.38 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $6.39 million for the same period in 2017. We sold more plate heat exchanger, heat exchange unit and other products for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 due to a rise in demand and market expansion as a result of our marketing effort in the year ended December 31, 2017.

The following table shows our sales revenue by product for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

		Nine Months Ended September 30,

Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased by $1.37 million, or 6.64%, to $21.94 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $20.57 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales revenue were 67.24% and 82.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of 15.48 percentage points. Our increase in sales has led to a corresponding increase in cost of revenues. On the other hand, we did not record as much inventory write-down in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as opposed to the same period in 2017, resulting an overall increase in cost of revenue in a smaller scale as compared to increase in revenues.

Gross profit. Our gross profit increased by $6.39 million, or 148.74%, to $10.69 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $4.30 million for the same period in 2017. The average unit selling price of our products decreased by 0.94%, to $14,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in comparison with $15,136 for the same period of 2017. The average unit cost decreased by 19.48%, to $10,082 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in comparison with $12,521 for the same period of 2017. As a result of these factors, our gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased to 32.76% from 17.28% for the same period in 2017.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.46 million, or 9.11%, to $5.51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $5.05 million for the same period in 2017. As a percentage of sales revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 16.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to 20.30% for the same period in 2017.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses increased by $0.14 million, or 12.07%, to $1.28 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $1.14 million for the same period in 2017. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to same period in 2017.

Selling expenses. Our selling expenses decreased by $1.77 million, or 28.85%, to $4.37 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $6.14 million for the same period in 2017. As a percentage of sales revenue, selling expenses decreased to 13.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to 24.68% for the same period in 2017. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased marketing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.

Loss before income taxes. Loss before income taxes decreased by $7.66 million, or 89.71%, to $0.88 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $8.54 million for the same period in 2017. Such decrease was mainly attributable to increase in revenue and decrease of cost of revenues

Income tax benefit (expense). Our income tax expense increased to $0.25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from income tax benefits of $0.36 million for the same period in 2017. The increase of income tax expense was mainly attributable to the recognition of income taxes expense in relation to deferred tax liability from tax deduction of property, plant and equipment purchases pursuant to the new tax regulation released by the State Administration of Taxation and Ministry of Finance of the PRC on May 7, 2018.

Net Loss attributable to THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc. common shareholders. As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, our net loss attributable to THT Heat Transfer, Inc. common shareholders decreased by $6.99 million, or 86.17%, to $1.12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from net loss attributable to THT Heat Transfer, Inc. common shareholders of $8.11 million for the same period in 2017. As a percentage of sales revenues, our net loss attributable to THT Heat Transfer, Inc. common shareholders was 3.44% and 32.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest represents the ownership interests the Center holds in SipingJuyuan and the amount recorded as non-controlling interest in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) is computed by multiplying after-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 by the percentage ownership in SipingJuyuan not directly attributable to us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the weighted average non-controlling interest attributable to ownership interests in SipingJuyuan not directly attributable to us was 1.18% and 0.29%, respectively.

Uncertainties

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.24 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 $10.42 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $13.36 million in the same period in 2018. 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.

Cash Flow

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2018			2017
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	1,853,582		$	(10,672,908	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		963,652			(354,086	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(5,593,411	)		7,109,096
Effect of foreign currency translation on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash		(326,507	)		198,611
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash		(3,102,684	)		(3,719,287	)
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of the period	$	7,981,872		$	8,098,630
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of the period	$	4,879,188		$	4,379,343

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.85 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to cash used in operating activities $10.67 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to the decrease in net loss of $7.04 million, outflow of other receivables, prepayments and deposits of $2.35 million, inventories, net of $5.55 million, and increase in cash inflow in advance from customers - related parties of $4.93 million and retention receivable of $1.20 million, offset by the decrease of inventory write-down of $4.54 million and inflow of accounts payable of $3.97 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.96 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with net cash used in by investing activities of $0.35 million in the same period in 2017. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to increase in proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment of $1.31 million, decrease in loans made to others of $1.74 million and loans made to related party of $0.63 million, offset by decrease in repayment from others of $2.11 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $5.59 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with $7.11 million net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2017. The increase in net cash used in financing resulted from a decrease in proceeds from bank loans of $6.62 million, proceeds from related parties of $5.75 million, and increase in repayment to related parties of $4.67 million and contribution from non-controlling investor, offset by decrease in repayment to bank loans of $4.79 million and increase in proceeds from long-term loan of $0.89 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.

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2018		2017
		(Unaudited)
Purchase of equipment	$	887,135	$	483,803
Total capital expenditures	$	887,135	$	483,803

We estimate that our total capital expenditures in fiscal year 2018 will reach approximately $0.91 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, 2017.

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 September 30, 2018. 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, 2017, which we are still in the process of remediating as of September 30, 2018, 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, 2017 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, 2017, our management identified material weakness related to our lack of: (1) sufficient and adequately trained accounting and finance personnel; (2) qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly; and (3) an internal audit department which renders ineffective our ability to prevent and detect control lapses and errors in the accounting of certain key areas. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the third quarter of 2018, we continued to implement these remedial procedures.

Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
