GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,417,261 and negative working capital
of $9,344,148 as of September 30, 2019 and incurred a net loss of $1,973,382 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Since
2014 the Company has generated operating losses and has incurred cash outflows from its operations. Management believes these
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
The Company acquired Boqi Pharmacy in
the third quarter of 2019 to diversify its business improve its financial position and cash flows. While we expect to continue
making acquisitions and strategic alliances as part of our long-term business strategy, we there can be no assurance that the
Company can realize the full benefits from any acquisitions such as increased revenue or enhanced financial position. Such acquisitions,
if any, could adversely affect our consolidated financial statements.
The continuation of the Company as a going
concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from its stockholders or external
financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet with the Company’s obligations
as they become due, and (2) further implement management’s business plan to extend its operations and generate sufficient
revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales
volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be neither any assurance to that effect, nor any assurance that
the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain its operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include
any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications
of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken
to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going
concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
|
●
|
Basis
of presentation and consolidation
|
These accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflected the activities of NFEC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial information as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and
footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s
Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 previously filed with the SEC on September 6, 2019.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed
consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2019 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the fiscal year or any future periods.
In preparing these consolidated financial
statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance
sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
|
●
|
Cash
and cash equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily
of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair
value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted
as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are recorded in a restricted cash account on the Company’s
unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s restricted cash balance is related to a contract performance
guarantee bond. The balance of restricted cash was $180,525 and $179,496 as of September 30, 2019 and December 2018, respectively.
|
●
|
Accounts
receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
|
Accounts receivable are recorded at the
invoiced amount, do not bear interest and are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from shipment. Credit
is granted based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer credit-worthiness and their payment history.
Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days
are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates individual customer’s
financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts
receivables. The Company will consider the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability
of its customers to make required payments. For those receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms,
the appropriate actions are taken to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery
is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September
30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $11,017,242 and $11,327,271, respectively.
|
●
|
Retention
receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
|
Retention receivable is the amount of
receivables withheld by a customer based upon 5-10% of the contract value, until a product warranty expires. The warranty period
is usually 12 months. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $900,777 and $942,376,
respectively.
Inventories are stated at the lower of
cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor
and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company reviews historical sales activity quarterly to determine excess, slow moving items
and potentially obsolete items and also evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand. The Company provides
inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand. As of September 30, 2019
and December 31, 2018, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.
|
●
|
Property,
plant and equipment
|
Property, plant and equipment are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following
expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual
values:
|
|
Expected
useful lives
|
|

|
|
4
~ 5%
|
Furniture,
fixture and equipment
|
|
5

|
|
4
~ 13%
|
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
All lands in the PRC are owned by the
PRC government. Under applicable law, the PRC government may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus,
the Company’s land purchases in the PRC are considered to be leaseholds and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization
and any recognized impairment loss. Amortization is provided over the term of the land use right agreement on a straight-line
basis, which is 50 years and will expire in 2059.
|
●
|
Impairment
of long-lived assets
|
In accordance with the provisions of ASC
Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as property, plant and
equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison
of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts
of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods and services is transferred to the Company’s customers,
in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services,
net of value-added tax. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
|
n
|
Identify
the contract with a customer;
|
|
n
|
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract;
|
|
n
|
Determine
the transaction price;
|
|
n
|
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
|
|
n
|
Recognize
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
|
Cost of revenue consists primarily of
material costs, direct labor, depreciation, and manufacturing overhead, which are directly attributable to the manufacture of
products and the rendering of services or projects. Shipping and handling costs, associated with the distribution of finished
products to customers, are borne by the customers.
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive
Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.
Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive
income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in
unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income
tax expense or benefit.
Income taxes are determined in accordance
with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model
for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken
or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements
when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must
initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
For the nine months ended September 30,
2019 and 2018, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2019, the
Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company conducts the majority of its
business in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax
returns that are subject to examination by a foreign tax authority.
Under the terms of the contracts, the
Company offers its customers a free product warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customer, nature and
size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract value, usually 5-10% of contract
value is retained by the customer, and the warranty period is usual 12 months. The Company records this portion of project contract
value retained by the customer as retention receivable. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company reported $25,590
and $65,529, respectively, as retention receivable net of any allowance that the management estimate it was more likely can’t
be received as the expiration of the warranty period.
The Company calculates net loss per share
in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the
net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed
similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive.

Foreign
currencies translation
|
Transactions denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into
the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are
recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company
is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records
in their local currency, the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency
of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes,
assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with
ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.
Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation
of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income
within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$
has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:
|
|
September 30,
2019
|
|
|
September 30,
2018
|
|
Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate

|
|
Nine months end average RMB:US$1 exchange rate
|
|
|
6.8541
|
|
|
|
6.8032
|
|
Contributions to retirement plans (which
are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operation as the related employee service is provided.
Parties, which can be a corporation or
individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or
exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered
to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”
establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal
organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company operated in one reportable operating segment in the
PRC.
|
●
|
Fair
value of financial instruments
|
The carrying value of the Company’s
financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and convertible promissory notes): cash and cash equivalents, accounts
and retention receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amounts due to related parties
other payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current
market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of its obligation under its finance lease and short-term
bank borrowing approximate the carrying amount.
The Company also follows the guidance
of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect
to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
●
|
Level 1 :
Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
|
●
|
Level 2:
Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all
significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts
to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and
|
●
|
Level 3:
Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including
option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
|
Fair value estimates are made at a specific
point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and
involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions
could significantly affect the estimates.
|
●
|
Recent
accounting pronouncements
|
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting
Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting
for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires
a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying
value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This standard, which will be effective for the Company
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, is required to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim
or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting
Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosure requirements
on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, including, among other changes, the consideration of costs and
benefits when evaluating disclosure requirements. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company
is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements
and footnote disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard
to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses
and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We will
be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments.
Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather
than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The standard will be adopted upon the effective date for us
beginning July 1, 2020. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. We are currently
evaluating the impact of this standard in our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and
systems.
Other accounting standards that have been
issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected
to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
The majority of the Company’s sales
are on open credit terms and in accordance with terms specified in the contracts governing the relevant transactions. The Company
evaluates the need of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to
be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. Based upon the aforementioned
criteria, the Company reversed a bad debt expense of $154,109 and reported bad debt expenses of $23,557 for its doubtful accounts
for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and reported bad debt expenses of $4,745 and $2,169,687
for its doubtful accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTES AND EMBEDDED DERIVATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
|
On September 27, 2019 the Company enter
into an agreement with Power Up Lending Group Ltd (“Power Up” or the “Holder”) to sell a convertible note
(the “Note”) of the Company to Power Up (the “Agreement”). The Note was issued at par value with a term
of 12 month, carrying 6% annual interest and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. According to the Agreement,
the Holder, at its option, has the right from time to time, and at any time on or prior to the later of (i) the Maturity Date
and (ii) the date of payment of a default amount, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note to
convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of
common stock of the Company.. The conversion price shall equal 65% of the Market Price of the common stock. The Market Price means
the average of the lowest two (2) trading prices for the common stock during the fifteen (15) trading day period ending on the
last complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock
dividends and rights offerings by the Company. As of the date of this report, 500,795 shares of the Company’s common stock
had been reserved for potential conversion under the Note.
Upon evaluation, the Company determined
that the Agreement contains an embedded beneficial conversion feature which met the definition of Debt with Conversion and Other
Options under Accounting Standards Codification topic 470 (“ASC 470”). According to ASC 470, an embedded beneficial
conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the
proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. An amount of $139,942 was allocated to the
beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) at issuance date of the Note and is being amortized over the life of the Note.
In addition, $7,650 of issuance costs and $3,000 reimbursement to the Holder is being amortized over the life of the Note. During
the three months ended September 30, 2019, $1,239 was amortized to expense. The balances of the Note was represented as following:

Additionally, the Company accounted for
the embedded conversion option liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance
with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured
at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the
host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in
earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data
using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument. The initial
fair value of the embedded conversion option liability associated with the Note was valued using the Black-Scholes model. The
assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

in the fair value of the conversion option liability in the amount of $2,132 during the three months ended September 30, 2019,

For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2018, no vendor accounted for 10% of the Company’s purchases.
Financial instruments that are potentially
subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. Since the late 2018, the Company had enhanced its credit evaluation
process to monitor credit risk in its trade receivables. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The
Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends and other information. The significant drop of write-offs from 2018 to 2019 indicates the result of the enhanced
credit evaluation process.
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing
assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Company manages interest rate risk
by varying the issuance and maturity dates of fixed rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring
the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, short-term bank borrowings and
convertible promissory notes were at fixed rates.
The reporting currency of the Company
is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities
are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations
may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of RMB revenues
and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial
instruments that expose to substantial market risk.
