NOTE - 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

·Use of estimates

 

In preparing these condensed 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 periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

·Basis of consolidation

 

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

 

The accounts of Sales Company are consolidated as a wholly-owned subsidiary from its inception to September 30, 2013, in which the Company holds 99%-majority equity interest and has the ability to exercise significant influence over Sales Company. The consolidation of 1% equity interest of Sales Company is not material to the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

 

·Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

 

·Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from shipment. Credit is extended 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 and over a specified amount 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 the 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.

 

·Retention receivable

 

Retention receivable is the amount withheld by a customer based upon 5-10% of the contract value, until a product warranty is expired.

 

·Inventories

 

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. Each quarter the Company reviews historical sales activity 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, 2013, the Company did not record an allowance for obsolete inventories, nor have there been any write-offs.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

(Unaudited)

 

·Construction in progress

 

Construction in progress is stated at historical cost, which includes acquisition of land use rights, cost of construction, purchases of plant and equipment and other direct costs attributable to the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Yinzhou District Industrial Park, Tieling City, Liaoning Province, the PRC. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time as the assets are completed and put into operational use. No capitalized interest is incurred during the period of construction.

 

·Land use rights

 

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, the Company’s land purchase in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is 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.

 

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $16,724 and $16,296, respectively.

 

Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $49,751 and $48,918, respectively.

 

The estimated amortization expense on the land use right in the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

 

Year ending September 30:    
2014  $67,090 
2015   67,090 
2016   67,090 
2017   67,090 
2018   67,090 
Thereafter   2,767,472 
      
Total:  $3,102,922 

 

·Plant and equipment

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, 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 life  Residual value 
Building  30 years   5%
Plant and machinery  10 – 20 years   5%
Furniture, fixture and equipment  5 – 8 years   5%

·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. There has been no impairment charge for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

·Revenue recognition

 

The Company offers a number of products and service to its customers, which are:

 

1. Sales of energy saving flow control equipment        
2. Provision of energy project management and sub-contracting services        
3. Provision of energy-saving reconstruction projects        

 

In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

(a)Sale of products

 

The Company derives a majority of its revenues from the sale of energy saving flow control equipment. Generally, these products are manufactured and configured to customer requirements. The Company typically produces and builds the energy saving flow control equipment for customers in a period from 1 to 6 months. When the Company completes the production in accordance with the customer’s specification, the customer is required to inspect the finished products for quality and product conditions, to its full satisfaction, then the Company makes delivery to the customer.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of such finished products upon delivery to the customer, whereas the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. The Company experienced no product returns and recorded no reserve for sales returns for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

(b)Service revenue

 

Service revenue is primarily derived from energy-saving technical services or project management or sub-contracting services that are not an element of an arrangement for the sale of products. These services are generally billed on a time-cost plus basis, for a period of service time from 2 to 3 months. Revenue is recognized, net of business taxes when the service is rendered and accepted by the customer.

(c)Project revenue

 

For the energy-saving reconstruction projects, the Company follows the percentage-of-completion method under ASC Topic 605-35, “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, to recognize revenues for energy-saving reconstruction projects that require significant modification or customization or installation for a term of service period exceeding 12 months. Advance payments from customers and amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as receipt in advance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not recognize any project revenue.

 

(d)Interest income

 

Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

 

·Comprehensive income

 

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

 

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company conducts the majority of its businesses 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 the foreign tax authority.

 

·Product warranty

 

Under the terms of the contracts, the Company offers its customers with a free product warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customers, nature and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5% to 10% of contract value) is withheld by a customer from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired. The Company has not experienced any material returns or claims where it was under obligation to honor this standard warranty provision. As such, no reserve for product warranty has been provided in the result of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

·Net income per share

 

The Company calculates net income 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$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:

 

   September 30, 2013   September 30, 2012 
Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate   6.1514    6.3340 
Average period RMB:US$1 exchange rate   6.2215    6.3275 

 

·Related parties

 

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.

 

·Segment reporting

 

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. The Company operates in two reportable operating segments in the PRC.

 

·Stock based compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.

·Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and note payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts and retention receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, 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 short-term bank borrowings, note payable and convertible promissory notes 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

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

(c)Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. 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.

 

(d)Interest rate risk

 

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’s interest-rate risk arises from borrowing under notes and bank borrowings. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2013, borrowings under related party notes were at fixed rates and short-term bank borrowings were at variable rates.

 

(e)Exchange rate risk

 

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 it to substantial market risk.

 

(f)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.

 

 

NOTE - 15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

(a)Unused credit facility

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company obtained a credit facility of bank demand notes with the maximum limit of $3.9 million (equal to RMB24 million), for a term of 6 months, expiring on December 13, 2013 which are collateralized by the Company’s restricted cash of $1.95 million (equal to RMB12 million) and guaranteed by a third party. As of September 30, 2013, the unused credit facility amounted to $0.86 million (equal to RMB5.26 million).

(b)Legal proceedings

 

Robert E. Dawley v. NF Energy Corp. of America, M.D. Fla. Case no. 6:10-cv-0115-Orl-22DAB. Robert Dawley (“Dawley”) commenced this action in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company, Mr. Gang Li and the Company’s litigation counsel on October 1, 2010. The allegations in this action are identical to those that Dawley raised in a prior proceeding in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit entered judgment against him and in favor of the Company.

 

The District Court, upon motion by the defendants, has dismissed Nine of Dawley’s ten claims with prejudice on the grounds that they are precluded by the Eleventh Circuit’s prior judgment. Dawley has attempted to appeal the District Court’s dismissal to the Eleventh Circuit. (Dawley v NF Energy Saving Corp. of America, U.S.C.A. 11th Cir. Appeal no. 11-10201-F.) However, that Court has questioned whether it has jurisdiction over the matter in light of the continued pendency of four of Dawley’s claims before the District Court.

 

Dawley has filed an Amended Complaint in the District Court in an effort to address the deficiencies noted by it with respect to his four remaining claims. Defendants have moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint on the grounds that it still fails to allege facts sufficient to state a claim. Whether or not the District Court agrees, the Company intends to contest Dawley’s claims on several grounds, including that he has failed to identify any basis for liability or damages.

 

In October 19, 2012, The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of Dawley’s claims.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company accrued $200,000 for this contingent liability and the Company’s directors, Mr. Gang Li and Ms. Li Hua Wang have personally agreed to guarantee all contingent liabilities and costs to be incurred in connection with this litigation claim.

 

NOTE - 16 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with this Form 10-Q.

 

On October 11, 2013, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to a consultant for investor relation services to be rendered.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies may require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. We applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, transfer of title has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company’s revenue is principally derived from three primary sources: Sales of energy saving flow control equipment, provision of energy project management and sub-contracting services, and provision of energy-saving reconstruction projects.

 

(a)Sale of products

 

The Company derives a majority of its revenues from the sale of energy saving flow control equipment. Generally, the energy saving flow control equipment is manufactured and configured to customer requirements. The Company typically produces the energy saving flow control equipment for customers over a period from one to six months. When the Company completes production in accordance with the customer’s specification, the customer is required to inspect the finished products at the Company’s plant to approve quality and conformity and make final acceptance. Once the product is accepted by the customer, the Company undertakes delivery to the customer, usually within a month.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of such finished products upon delivery to the customers, when the title and risk of loss are fully transferred to the customers. The Company records its revenues, net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The VAT rate is 17%.

 

(b)Service revenue

 

Service revenue is derived from energy-saving technical services, project management or sub-contracting services. These services are generally billed on a time-cost plus basis, for the period of service provided, which is generally from two to nine months. Revenue is recognized when the service is rendered and accepted by the customer.

 

(c)Interest income

 

Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest and are due within the contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from shipment. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the customer’s 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 and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. At the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates each individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivable. The Company will consider an allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For the 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 has 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.

 

7
 

 

For most of our contracts, our customers are generally large or stated-owned construction contractors or developers mainly engaged in government-sponsored infrastructure projects such as large hydraulic/aqua-engineering projects, power plants and urban sewage network projects in the PRC. Usually, these infrastructure projects are undertaken in a number of phases over a certain period of time. Our flow control equipment components are generally considered as major or significant components in the development phase of these infrastructure projects. As is standard in our industry practice, we are paid by these contractors and/or developers when they have been paid by the local government or state-owned enterprises after the full inspection of each milestone during each construction phrase. Given that the construction of these infrastructure projects are very large, complex, and require a high quality level at completion, the inspection process may take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, we may not collect the accounts receivable in a timely manner or only after a period longer than our agreed payment terms.

 

We have a high level of assurance on the recoverability of these accounts receivable, based on our ongoing assessment of customers’ credit-worthiness and their payment history. These customers are usually large state-owned corporations with good credit ratings. At the end of each period, we specifically evaluate the structure and collectability of accounts receivable and for receivables that are past due or not being paid according to the payment terms, we take appropriate action to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. For customers with large amounts of accounts receivable, we may take other steps, such as limiting sales and changing payment terms and requesting forms of security. We will consider an adjustment to the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.

 

Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts 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.

 

Product Warranties

 

Under the terms of its contracts, the Company offers a free 12 to 24 months of product warranty on a case-by–case basis, depending upon the type of customer, and the nature and size of the infrastructure project. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of contract value) is withheld by a customer from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired. The Company has not experienced any material returns under this warranty provision.

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), with the cost being determined on a weighted average method. Costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Quarterly, the Company reviews historical sales activity 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.

 

Plant and Equipment

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, 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 life  Residual value 
        
Building  30 years   5%
         
Plant and machinery  10 - 20 years   5%
         
Furniture, fixture and equipment  5 - 8 years   5%

 

Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is 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.

 

Land Use Rights

 

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the relevant PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, the Company’s land purchase in the PRC is considered to be leasehold land and is 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.

 

Income Taxes

 

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.

 

9
 

 

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.

 

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 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC, Nengfa Energy and Sales Company maintain their books and records in the local currency of the PRC, the Renminbi ("RMB"), which is 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:

 

   Sep 30, 2013   Sep 30, 2012 
Period-end RMB:US$1 exchange rate   6.1514    6.3340 
           
Average period RMB:US$1 exchange rate   6.2215    6.3275

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Operating activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $76,949. This was attributable primarily to net income of $36,520, adjusted by non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $621,797 , imputed interest expenses of $16,699, shares issued for services rendered of $60,660 , gain on disposal of plant and equipment of $34,548, an decrease in accounts and retention receivable by $983,163, an increase in inventories by $1,660,009, a decrease in prepayment and other receivable by $397,744, a decrease in the accounts payable by $113,068, an increase in income tax payable of $41,190, and a decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities by $273,139.

 

14
 

 

We have followed ASC 230-10-45-28 and choose to provide information about major classes of cash flow items by the indirect method. In the statement of cash flows, we have reported the same amount for net cash flow from operating activities indirectly by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities. The reconciliation has separately reported all major classes of reconciling items, for example, changes during the period in accounts receivables pertaining to operating activities, in inventory, and in payables pertaining to operating activities.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the increase of inventories was primarily derived from the market fluctuation and delay in construction of some projects such that the product could not be delivered to the customers. It is anticipated that the inventories will be delivered at the end of this year, 2013.

 

As of September 30, 2013, accounts and retention receivable was $6,767,031, 78% of which is product revenue accounts receivable, and 22% of which is service revenue accounts receivable.

 

The Company is highly aware the risk of default, and as a result, we actively monitor accounts receivable with aging above 1 year and those account for about 35% of the total accounts receivable, thus reducing the Company’s credit risk. The Company will consider an allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company’s accounts and retention receivable aging was as follows:

 

Items  Total   1-90 days   91-180 days   181-365 days   Above 365 days 
                     
Product   5,322,371    1,191,494    1,603,414    1,358,460    1,159,003 
Service   1,466,836    81,604    13,330    135,608    1,236,294 
Total   6,789,207    1,273,098    1,626,744    1,494,068    2,395,297 
                          
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts   (37,759)   -    -    -    (37,759)
Accounts and retention receivable, net   6,751,448    1,273,098    1,626,744    1,494,068    2,358,538 

 

Most of our customers make payments in accordance with the agreed payment terms in a timely manner. In rare cases, we may offer extended payment terms to certain customers for equipment sales. These customers are usually large state-owned corporations with good credit ratings. At the end of each period, we evaluate the structure and collectability of accounts receivable and for those receivables that are past due or not being paid according to the payment terms. We take appropriate actions to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law, for our collection efforts. Meanwhile, the Company also adopted strict sales polices according to the signed contracts. The Company evaluated the existing customers and potential customers; as well as reducing their credit in the sales and raising the quality of contracts and controls on the doubtful accounts.

 

15
 

 

We anticipate that the accounts receivable of five customers with aging above 365 days at September 30, 2013 will be collected at the end of November and at the end of December, respectively. The Collecting time indicated below:

 

Customer AR with aging
above 365 days
To be collected
amount by
November 2013
To be collected
amount by
December 2013
Customer “A” 866,039 519,623 346,416
Customer “B” 140,429 140,429 -
Customer “C” 501,169 422,668 -
Customer “D” 230,052 - 230,025
Customer “E” 139,470 - 139,429
Total 1,877,132 1,082,720 715,870

 

In the case of customer A and customer C, the Company will assign a specific person who will follow up the collection of accounts receivable based on the development of the project in the spot. The Company will collect accounts receivable from customer B according to the terms mutually agreed to in November, 2013.  As for the remaining customers, customers D and E, the Company will take appropriate actions to exhaust all means of collection, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law, for our collect efforts.

 

According to the plan of collection in the accounts receivable, the Company enhanced the collection in the accounts receivable and adopted strong measures in collection of accounts receivable. The Company engaged a lawyer with the relevant experience to enhance collection efforts.

 

We offer a free 12 to 24 months of product warranty on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the type of customers, nature and size of the infrastructure projects. Under such arrangements, a portion of the project contract balance (usually 5-10% of contract value) is withheld by a customer from 12 to 24 months, until the product warranty has expired.

 

Investing activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $807,391 which was primarily used in the remaining of construction of Phase II in the new manufacturing facility.

 

In 2008, the Company was approved by the local government to construct a new manufacturing facility for energy-saving products and equipment in Yinzhou District Industrial Park, Tieling City, Liaoning Province, the PRC. It covers an area of 81,561 sq. m acres. Phase I of the project was structurally completed and began its operations in December 2011. Phase II of the project was structurally completed in December 2012, but is not yet fully operational. Our invested project based upon product casting equipment has not been completed due to market conditions and was thus postponed. The cost of construction was transferred to property, plant and equipment and its depreciation expense began to be recorded in 2012. The second phase of construction project was structurally completed in 2012. As of September 30, 2013, the installation of the smelting equipment was 60% complete, hoisting equipment was fully installed and the cleaning equipment was proceeding in installation. The Company expects the facility to be fully operational by the end of this fiscal year upon the approval of fire security by the local authority.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures; as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based on that evaluation and the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to limitations as noted below, as of September 30, 2013 were not effective.

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

lPertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

lProvide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management authorization; and

 

lProvide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

18
 

 

Due to the Company’s limited resources, the Company does not have accounting personnel with extensive experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP which could lead to untimely identification and resolution of accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions in accordance with US GAAP. This material weakness was identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and our plans for remediation continue to be as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2013. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 

Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Robert E. Dawley v. NF Energy Corp. of America, M.D. Fla. Case no. 6:10-cv-0115-Orl-22DAB. Robert Dawley (“Dawley”) commenced this action in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company, Mr. Gang Li and the Company’s litigation counsel on October 1, 2010. The allegations in this action are identical to those that Dawley raised in a prior proceeding in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit entered judgment against him and in favor of the Company.

 

The District Court, upon motion by the defendants, has dismissed six of Dawley’s ten claims with prejudice on the grounds that they are precluded by the Eleventh Circuit’s prior judgment. Dawley has attempted to appeal the District Court’s dismissal to the Eleventh Circuit. (Dawley v NF Energy Saving Corp. of America, U.S.C.A. 11th Cir. Appeal no. 11-10201-F.) However, that Court has questioned whether it has jurisdiction over the matter in light of the continued pendency of four of Dawley’s claims before the District Court.

 

Dawley has filed an Amended Complaint in the District Court in an effort to address the deficiencies noted by it with respect to his four remaining claims. Defendants have moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint on the grounds that it still fails to allege facts sufficient to state a claim. Whether or not the District Court agrees, the Company intends to contest Dawley’s claims on several grounds, including that he has failed to identify any basis for liability or damages.

 

19
