Overview
Zhongchai Holding, through its subsidiaries, is:
● | a leading developer and manufacturer of traditional transmission products for material handling machineries in China; and |
● | a developer of a robotic cargo carrier prototype expected to be available for commercial use in the near future in China. |
Zhongchai Holding’s transmission products are key components for forklift trucks used in manufacturing and logistic applications, such as factories, workshops, warehouses, fulfillment centers, shipyards and seaports. Forklifts play an important role in logistics systems of many enterprises across different industries in China and globally. Generally, the industries with the largest demand for forklifts include the transportation, warehousing logistics, electrical machinery and automobile industries.
Zhongchai Holding has experienced increased demand for forklifts in the manufacturing and logistics industries in the PRC, as revenues increased from approximately $49.1 million in 2017 to approximately $60.2 million in 2018, albeit with declined revenue of approximately $40.5 million in the nine months ended September 30 compared with approximately $48 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to reduction in production. Based on revenue of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, Zhongchai Holding believes that it is one of the major developers and manufacturers of transmission products for small and medium-sized forklift trucks in China.
Zhongchai Holding’s transmission products are used in 1-ton to 15-ton forklift trucks, some with mechanical shift and some with automatic shift. Zhongchai Holding sells these transmission products directly to forklift truck manufacturers. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, Zhongchai Holding sold, in the aggregate, more than 61,891 and 73,503 sets of transmission products, respectively, to over 100 forklift manufacturers in China.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Zhongchai Holding has funded working capital and other capital requirements primarily by equity contributions, cash flow from operations, short-term bank loans and bank acceptance notes, and long-term bank loans. Cash is required primarily to purchase raw materials, repay debts and pay salaries, office expenses, income taxes and other operating expenses.
Zhongchai Holding management believes that Zhongchai Holding has sufficient cash, together with expected profits and anticipated capital from existing funding sources, to operate for the next 12 months. Zhongchai Holding has generated, and is expected to continue to generate, positive cash flow from operations.
Zhongchai Holding may need additional cash resources in the future if it experiences failure in collection of receivables, changed business conditions or other developments, and may also need additional cash resources in the future if it wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation or other similar actions. If it is determined that the cash requirements exceed Zhongchai Holding’s cash and cash equivalents on hand, Zhongchai Holding may seek to issue debt or equity securities.
Zhongchai Holding has expended considerable resources to build a new factory, resulting in lower levels of available cash during such periods. However, Zhongchai Holding management anticipates that cash flow will improve in the remaining months of 2019, given that the new factory construction has been completed. Furthermore, management expects to pledge the new title deeds to banks in order to obtain additional loans and to refinance expiring loans next year, as well as to fund other working capital needs to the extent additional funds are available upon terms acceptable to Zhongchai Holding.
See “NOTE 16: Related Person Transactions” above for a description of amounts payable to, and receivable from, related parties. There is no guarantee that the amounts payable by Zhongchai Equity Holder will be repaid in whole or in part in the near future, if at all. Any such failure could have a material negative impact on Zhongchai Holding’s balance sheet.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents refers to all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of three months or less. As of September 30, 2019, Zhongchai Holding had approximately $3.86 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of approximately $0.48 million, or 14.2%, as compared to approximately $3.38 million as of September 30, 2018. The increase of cash was mainly due to the increase in positive cash flows from operating and investing activities.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for bank acceptance notes and therefore is not available for use until the bank acceptance notes have been fulfilled or expired, normally within a twelve-month period. As of September 30, 2019, Zhongchai Holding had approximately $2.13 million of restricted cash, a decrease of approximately $1.27 million, or 37.4%, as compared to approximately $3.40 million as of September 30, 2018. The decrease of restricted cash was due to maturity and settlement of bank acceptance notes that were subsequently released from escrow.
Accounts Receivable
As of September 30, 2019, Zhongchai Holding had approximately $11.79 million of accounts receivables, an increase of approximately $1.62 million or 15.9%, as compared to approximately $10.17 million as of September 30, 218. The increase in accounts receivable was due to the lower turnover on receivable.
Zhongchai Holding recorded approximately $0.9 million of provision for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2019. Zhongchai Holding conducted an aging analysis of each customer’s delinquent payments to determine whether allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, Zhongchai Holding considers historical experience, the economic environment, and the expected collectability of past due receivables. An estimate of doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. After Zhongchai Holding evaluated all the above considerations, Zhongchai Holding established a policy to provide a provision of 5% for accounts receivable aged within one year, provision of 20% for accounts receivable aged between one and two years, a provision of 50% for accounts receivable aged between two and three years, and a provision of 100% for accounts receivable aged over three years. Zhongchai Holding will continuously assess its potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with its customers on a regular basis to determine if its bad debt allowance on its accounts receivable is adequate. Zhongchai Holding believes that its collection policies are in line with the transmissions industry in China generally.
Notes Receivable
As of September 30, 2019, Zhongchai Holding had approximately $14.46 million of notes receivables. The decrease was approximately $1.88 million, or 11.5%, as compared to approximately $16.34 million as of September 30, 2018.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is one of the most significant risks for Zhongchai Holding’s business. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenues earned from customers, thereby exposing Zhongchai Holding to credit risk. Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Zhongchai Holding identifies credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. This information is monitored regularly by management. In measuring the credit risk of sales to customers, Zhongchai Holding mainly reflects the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and considers the current financial position of the customer and the exposures to the customer and its likely future development.
Liquidity Risk
Zhongchai Holding is also exposed to liquidity risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and/or business needs. Liquidity risk is managed by the application of financial position analysis to test if Zhongchai Holding is in danger of liquidity issues and also by application of monitoring procedures to constantly observing its conditions and movements. When necessary, Zhongchai Holding resorts to other financial institutions to obtain additional short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.
Inflation Risk
Zhongchai Holding is also exposed to inflation risk. Inflationary factors, such as increases in raw material and overhead costs, could impair Zhongchai Holding’s operating results. Although Zhongchai Holding does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on its ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales revenues if the selling prices of its products do not increase with such increased costs.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zhongchai Holding (Hong Kong) Limited and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are recorded in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”) and are reported as a component of equity, separate from the parent’s equity. Purchase or sale of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.
8
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$” or “$”). The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”). The consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The resulting transaction adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
For the nine months ended September 30, | ||||||||
2019 | 2018 | |||||||
Period end RMB: US$ exchange rate | 7.1477 | 6.8792 | ||||||
Period average RMB: US$ exchange rate | 6.8587 | 6.5380 |
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with the ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from the processing, distribution and sale of own products. The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which had been levied at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales until April 30, 2018, after which date the rate was reduced to 16%. VAT rate was further reduced to 13% starting from April 1, 2019. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the Company in addition to the invoiced value of purchases to the extent not refunded for export sales.
Revenues are recognized at a point in time once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Control is typically deemed to have been transferred to the customer when the performance obligation is fulfilled, usually at the time of delivery, at the net sales price (transaction price) and each of the criteria under ASC 606 have been met. Contract terms may require the Company to deliver the finished goods to the customers’ location or the customer may pick up the finished goods at the Company’s factory. International sales are recognized when shipment clears customs and leaves the port.
The Company started adoption of ASC 606 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, using the transition method of Modified-Retrospective Method (“MRM”). The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on the Company’s beginning balance of retained earnings.
The Company’s contracts are predominantly short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. Receivables are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration.
9
Contracts do not offer any chargeback or price protection. The Company experienced no product returns and recorded no reserve for sales returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The following table sets forth disaggregation of revenue:
For the nine months ended September 30, | ||||||||
Major Product | 2019 | 2018 | ||||||
Transmission boxes for Forklift | 35,600,679 | 38,144,827 | ||||||
Transmission boxes for Non-Forklift (EV, etc.) | 4,901,626 | 9,823,899 | ||||||
Total | 40,502,305 | 47,968,726 |
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, wages, employee compensation, amortization, depreciation and related costs, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or net realizable value is also recorded in cost of goods sold.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses include operating expenses such as payroll and traveling and transportation expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include management and office salaries and employee benefits, deprecation for office facility and office equipment, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, consulting fees and other office expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $1,600,890 and $1,954,090 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Research and development costs are incurred on a project specific basis.
Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under defined contribution retirement plans to the relevant authorities are charged to operations as incurred. Retirement benefits of $144,997 and $197,817 were charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes following the liability method pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
10
The Company also follows FASB ASC 740, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of September 30, 2019, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. It is unlikely that the amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change over the next 12 months. It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of other expense and interest expense, respectively, as necessary. The Company’s historical tax years will always remain open for examination by the local authorities.
Value-Added Tax
Enterprises or individuals, who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import or export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with Chinese Laws. The VAT standard rate had been 17% of the gross sale price until April 30, 2018, after which date the rate was reduced to 16%. VAT rate was further reduced to 13% starting from April 1, 2019. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products.
Statutory Reserve
In accordance with the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment, an enterprise established in the PRC with foreign investment is required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely (i) General Reserve Fund, (ii) Enterprise Expansion Fund and (iii) Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund, which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A wholly-owned foreign enterprise is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the General Reserve Fund until the balance of such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. A non-wholly-owned foreign invested enterprise is permitted to provide for the above allocation at the discretion of its board of directors. Appropriations to the Enterprise Expansion Fund and Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund are at the discretion of the board of directors for all foreign invested enterprises. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the year from transactions and other events, excluding the changes resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners, and is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit. Accumulated comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation. The Company presents comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”. ASC Topic 220 states that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in the consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains no bank account in the United States of America. The Company maintains its bank accounts in China. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within China are not covered by insurance. However, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for bank acceptance notes and therefore is not available for the Company’s use until such time as the bank acceptance notes have been fulfilled or expired, normally within a twelve-month period.
11
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to the financial instruments that are required to be carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs that prioritizes the information used to develop our assumptions regarding fair value. Fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.
● | Level 1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
● | Level 2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
● | Level 3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, short-term bank loans, and bond payable.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The estimated fair values of short-term bank loans were not materially different from their carrying value as presented due to the short maturities and that the interest rates on the borrowing approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile. As the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair value, these financial instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Earnings per share
The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential ordinary shares equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company reviews its accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s historical payment history, its current creditworthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. Balance of allowance of doubtful accounts was $932,389 and $906,138 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is based on estimated selling prices less any further costs expected to be incurred for completion and disposal. Cost of raw materials is calculated using the weighted average method and is based on purchase cost. Work-in-progress and finished goods costs are determined using the weighted average method and comprise direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had reserves for inventories of $199,607 and $178,107, respectively.
12
Advance to Suppliers
Advance to suppliers represents interest-free cash paid in advance to suppliers for purchases of parts and/or raw materials. The balance of advance to suppliers was $128,592 as of September 30, 2019, of which $128,592 aged within one year. The balance of advance to suppliers was $32,878 as of December 31, 2018, of which $31,655 aged within one year and $578 between one and two years.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditure that substantially increases the useful lives of existing assets.
Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Plant, buildings and improvements | 20 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 2~10 years | |
Motor vehicles | 4 years | |
Office Equipment | 3~5 years | |
Fixed Assets decoration | 5 years |
When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is recognized in the period of disposition as an element of other income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Land Use Rights
According to the PRC laws, the government owns all the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. The land use rights granted to the Company are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of fifty years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying amounts may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”.
In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-15. To the extent that estimated future, undiscounted cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future, undiscounted cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal, whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
No impairment loss is subsequently reversed even if facts and circumstances indicate recovery. There was no impairment loss recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Segments and Related Information
ASC 280-10-50, “Operating Segments”, define the characteristics of an operating segment as a) being engaged in business activity from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, b) being reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for decisions about resources to be allocated and assess its performance and c) having discrete financial information. Although the Company indeed looks at its products to analyze the nature of its revenues, other financial information, such as certain costs and expenses and net income are not captured or analyzed by these categories. Therefore, discrete financial information is not available by product line and the Company has no CODM to make resource allocation decisions or assess the performance of the business based on these categories, but rather in the aggregate. Based on this, management believes that the Company operates in one business segment.
13
In the analysis of product lines as potential operating segments, management also considered ASC 280-10-50-11, “Aggregation Criteria”, which allows for the aggregation of operating segments if the segments have similar economic characteristics and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:
● | the nature of the products and services; |
● | the nature of the production processes; |
● | the type or class of customer for their products and services; |
● | the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and |
● | the nature of the regulatory environment, if applicable. |
The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling various transmission boxes. The Company’s manufacturing process is essentially the same for the entire Company and is performed in-house at the Company’s facilities in China. The Company’s customers primarily consist of entities in the automotive, construction machinery or warehousing equipment industries. The distribution of the Company’s products is consistent across the entire Company. In addition, the economic characteristics of each customer arrangement are similar in that the Company maintains policies at the corporate level.
Related Party
In general, related parties exist when there is a relationship that offers the potential for transactions at less than arm’s-length, favorable treatment, or the ability to influence the outcome of events different from that which might result in the absence of that relationship. A related party may be any of the following: a) an affiliate, which is a party that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another party; b) a principle owner, owner of record or known beneficial owner of more than 10% of the voting interest of an entity; c) management, which are persons having responsibility for achieving objectives of the entity and requisite authority to make decision; d) immediate family of management or principal owners; e) a parent company and its subsidiaries; and f) other parties that have ability to significant influence the management or operating policies of the entity.
Economic and Political Risks
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Exchange Risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady. Therefore, there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and yet, because of a fluctuating exchange rates, record higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of PRC Renminbi (RMB) converted to U.S. dollars on the relevant dates. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environment without notice.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or may be required to adopt in the future are summarized below:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,” Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, to require financial assets carried at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, in April 2019. to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. The ASUs are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASUs is modified retrospective. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers Other than Inventory, which requires companies to recognize the income-tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to an outside party. The Company started adoption of ASU 2016-16 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The impact of adoption on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.
In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for a public business entity. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. As of December 31, 2018, the Company concluded its nominal “sale-leaseback” transaction does not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting in accordance with ASC 840-40-25-11 and shall record under the lease financing method. Under the lease financing method, the assets remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the proceeds from the transactions are recorded as a financing liability. The Company started adoption of ASU 2016-02 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASC 842, the Company concluded the transactions do not qualify for the sale-leaseback accounting in accordance with ASC 842-40-25-5 and shall not derecognize the transferred asset and shall account for any amounts received as a financial liability. Thus, the impact of adoption on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented is not material.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (Topic 350) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for certain modified or new disclosure requirements, and all other amendments in the standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of August 31, 2019 has been prepared using the following:
● | Zhongchai Holding’s unaudited historical consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019; and |
● | Greenland’s unaudited historical balance sheet as of August 31, 2019. |
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 has been prepared using the following:
● | Zhongchai Holding’s unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019; and |
● | Greenland’s unaudited historical statement of operations for the nine months ended August 31, 2019. |

Description of the Transaction
The Business Combination consists of a series of transactions pursuant to which Greenland will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Zhongchai Holding, in exchange for the issuance of 7,500,000 Greenland Shares to the Zhongchai Equity Holder.
Accounting for the Transaction
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger, accompanied by a recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Greenland will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Zhongchai Equity Holder controlling the majority of the relative voting rights, Zhongchai Equity Holder being expected to have the largest interest of the combined company, Zhongchai Holding’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company, the relative size of Zhongchai Holding compared to Greenland, and Zhongchai Holding’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Zhongchai Holding issuing stock for the net assets of Greenland, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Greenland will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Zhongchai Holding.
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Business Combination, are factually supportable, and as it relates to the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical financial position and results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future financial position and results that the combined company will experience. Zhongchai Holding and Greenland have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
On October 24, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Greenland consummated the business combination following a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) where the stockholders of Greenland considered and approved, among other matters, a proposal to adopt an share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), dated as of July 12, 2019, entered into by and among (i) Greenland, (ii) Zhongchai Holding (Hong Kong) Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Zhongchai Holding”), (iii) Greenland Asset Management Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company with limited liability, in the capacity as the purchaser representative (the “Purchaser Representative”), and (iv) Cenntro Holding Limited, the sole member of Zhongchai Holding (the “Zhongchai Equity Holder” or the “Seller”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Greenland shareholders exercised redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares with total of 3,794,058 shares redempted.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared assuming Redemptions of 3,794,058 Public Shares for cash at a Redemption Price of approximately $10.21 per share. The Redemption amount is derived from a minimum net tangible asset requirement of $5,000,001 required pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, after giving effect to the payments to redeeming shareholders. There could be more Public Shares redeemed as long as Greenland has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon consummation of the Business Combination.
Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma combined financial statements are 7,500,000 Greenland Shares to be issued to the Zhongchai Equity Holder.
As a result of the Business Combination and immediately following the Closing, if 3,794,058 Greenland Shares are redeemed for cash, the existing shareholder of Zhongchai Holding will own approximately 75.0%, existing Greenland shareholders will own approximately 24.5%, and an independent third party that is a China-based entity that acted as finder in connection with the Business Combination will own approximately 0.5%, of the Greenland Shares to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination (in each case, not giving effect to any shares issuable to them upon exercise of Warrants).

(1) | Represents an adjustment to eliminate direct, incremental costs of the Business Combination which are reflected in the historical consolidated financial statements of Zhongchai and Greenland in aggregated of $0.3 million, for the nine months ended August 31, 2019. There were no such amounts recorded for the year ended November 30, 2018. |
(2) | Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest income and unrealized loss on marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of the beginning of the period. |
(3) | To record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments applied at Zhongchai Holding’s normalized blended statutory income tax rate of 15.0%. |
(4) | The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes that the IPO occurred as of the earliest period presented. In addition, as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Business Combinations for the entire period. |
The following presents the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The computation of diluted income (loss) per share excludes the effect of (1) Warrants to purchase 2,341,000 Greenland Shares and (2) a unit purchase option exercisable for 240,000 Greenland Shares, Warrants to purchase 120,000 Greenland Shares and Rights that convert into 24,000 Greenland Shares, because the inclusion of these securities would be anti-dilutive.
