INFORMATION
REQUIRED BY ITEM 14 OF SCHEDULE 14A
Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Information
included or incorporated by reference in this Information Statement on Schedule 14C contains forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or future
performance of the Company and/or Wuhan Port. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements may contain the words “believes,”
“project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,”
“strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,”
“will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, and are subject to numerous known and
unknown risks and uncertainties. Additionally, statements relating to implementation of business strategy, future financial performance,
acquisition strategies, capital raising transactions, performance of contractual obligations, and similar statements may contain
forward-looking statements. In evaluating such statements, shareholders should carefully review various risks and uncertainties
identified in this Report. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from
those indicated in the forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or publicly announce revisions
to any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
Although
forward-looking statements in this Schedule 14C reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be
based on facts and factors currently known by the Company. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to
risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated
by the forward-looking statements. The Company files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
You can read and copy any materials the Company filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, 100 F. Street, NE,
Washington, D.C. 20549. You can obtain additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the
SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information
statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.
We
disclaim any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that
may arise after the date of this Information Sheet on Schedule 14C, accept as required by law. Readers are urged to carefully
review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this Schedule 14C, as well as our other public filings,
which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects.
Unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
The
accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information have been prepared to present the balance sheets and statements
of operations of the Company to indicate how the consolidated financial statements of the Company might have looked like if the
merger of Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited, the divestiture of Energetic Mind Limited and the transactions related to the
merger and divestiture had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 and statements of operations, for the three months ended
March 31, 2018, for the year ended December 31, 2017 are presented as if the merger Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited and
the divestiture of Energetic Mind Limited had occurred on January 1, 2017.
In
the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements, financial statements of Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited and the
Company are presented separately. Due to exclusion of the Company from consolidated financial statement of Wuhan Economic Development
Port Limited, financial statements presented in the pro forma do not agree to those in its corresponding 10-K or 10-Q.
These
pro forma condensed financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be indicative of
actual consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations had the purchase been in effect during the periods
presented, or of consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations that may be reported in the future.
The
pro forma adjustments contained in the pro forma combined financial statements relate to the assumptions of all prior and existing
liabilities of the Company upon consummation of the acquisition.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements,
which we refer to as the Pro Forma Financial Statements, presented below are derived from the historical consolidated financial
statements of Yangtze River Port and Logistics Limited (“YRIV”) and Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited (“Wuhan
EDP” or “WEDP”). The Pro Forma Financial Statements are prepared as a business combination reflecting YRIV’s
acquisition of Wuhan EDP as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2017 for statement of income purposes and as if
YRIV’s acquisition of Wuhan EDP had been completed on March 31, 2018, for balance sheet purposes.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements are developed from (a) the
unaudited consolidated financial statements of YRIV for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, (b) the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Wuhan EDP for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, (c) the audited consolidated financial statements
of YRIV for the year ended December 31, 2017, and (d) the audited consolidated financial statements of Wuhan EDP for the year ended
December 31, 2017.
The historical financial statements have been adjusted to give
effect to pro forma events that are related and/or directly attributable to the business combination, are factually supportable
and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments presented on the Pro Forma 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 historical financial statements of YRIV and Wuhan EDP have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”)
and presented in US Dollars. The Pro Forma Financial Statements included herein are prepared under US GAAP and presented in US
Dollars. Following the consummation of the business combination, the combined entity intends to prepare its consolidated financial
statements under US GAAP and present such consolidated financial statements in US Dollars.
The historical financial information of YRIV was derived from
the unaudited financial statements of YRIV for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018 and the audited financial statements of YRIV for the year ended December 31, 2017
included elsewhere in this Form S-3. The historical financial information of Wuhan EDP was derived from the unaudited financial
statements of Wuhan EDP for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the audited financial statements of Wuhan EDP for
the year ended December 31, 2017 included elsewhere in this Form S-3. This information should be read together with YRIV and Wuhan
EDP’s audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes, and “Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited -
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this Form
S-3.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements are for illustrative purposes
only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the Pro Forma
Financial Statements as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been
combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. YRIV and Wuhan EDP have not had any historical relationship
prior to the business combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

Notes to the Pro
Forma Financial Statements
1. Description of Transactions
On December 26, 2017, Yangtze River Port and Logistics Limited
(the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with shareholders holding 100% of
the equity interest (the “Acquiree Shareholders”) of Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited (the “Acquiree”)
to acquire all the interests of Acquiree; and the Acquiree Shareholders will acquire all the equity interest held by the Company
in Energetic Mind Limited, a BVI company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Energetic Mind Limited holds 100% interest
in Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Ltd., a Hong Kong company that holds 100% capital stock of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co.,
Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China that primarily engages in
the business of real estate and infrastructural development with a port logistics center located in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China.
The consideration of the acquisition transaction will be first
offset against both parties of the target companies leaving the balance of RMB 600 million (or approximately USD $91 million) to
be paid by the Company to the Acquiree Shareholders.

INFORMATION
WITH RESPECT TO
Yangtze
River Port and Logistics Limited
(the
“Acquiring Company”)
General
Description of Business
Yangtze
River Port and Logistics Limited is a Nevada holding corporation. We operate through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Energetic Mind
Limited (“Energetic Mind”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, which in turn operates through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Limited (“Ricofeliz Capital”), a Hong Kong corporation. Ricofeliz Capital which
operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd (“Wuhan Newport”), a
wholly foreign-owned enterprise incorporated in the People’s Republic of China that primarily engages in the business of
real estate and infrastructural development and operating a port logistics center (“Logistics Center”) located in
Wuhan, Hubei Province in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
Situated
in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuhan Newport is a large infrastructure development project implemented under China’s
latest “One Belt One Road” initiative. We believe that it is strategically positioned in the anticipated “Pilot
Free Trade Zone” of the Wuhan Port, an important trading locale for the PRC, the Middle East and Europe. To be fully developed
upon completion, the Logistics Center will comprise six operating zones: port operation area, warehouse and distribution area,
cold chain logistics area, rail cargo loading area, exhibition area and business related area. The Logistics Center is also expected
to provide a number of shipping berths for cargo ships of various sizes. Wuhan Newport expects to provide domestic and foreign
businesses direct access to the anticipated Pilot Free Trade Zone in Wuhan. The project will include commercial buildings, professional
logistic supply chain centers, direct access to the Yangtze River, Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe Railway and ground transportation, storage
and processing centers, and IT supporting services, among others.
We
anticipate that income generated from the use of the warehouses, cargo loading and unloading, railway and highway transportation
and logistics services and other logistics supporting services will comprise the main source of our income. It is also expected
that income from real estate sales and leasing will be a relatively minor portion of our expected income since we are planning
to sell or lease only a small portion of our real estate properties such as office spaces. We will begin construction on the Logistics
Center once we are able to raise funds for it.
In
the meantime, we have been developing a commercial building project called the Wuhan Centre China Grand Steel Market (Phase 1)
Commercial Building (“Phase 1 Project”) located in the south of Hans Road, Wuhan Yangluo Economic Development Zone
which covers an approximate construction area of 222,496.6 square meters. We have been financing the Phase 1 Project with bank
loans and shareholder advances. The Phase 1 Project comprises 7 buildings, four of which covering 35,350,4 square meters have
been completed and three of which covering an approximate area of 57,450.4 square meters are still under construction as of December
31, 2017. We have sold approximately 22,780 square meters of commercial building space.
We
plan to use the majority of our real estate properties for the development of our Logistics Center, from which our main source
of expected income will be derived.
Wuhan
Yangtze River Newport Logistics Center
The
Logistics Center will be an extensive complex located in Wuhan Newport Yangluo Port. Wuhan, the capital of the Hubei Province
in the People’s Republic of China is a major transportation hub city with access to numerous railways, roads and expressways
passing through the city and connecting to major cities in China, as well as other international centers of commerce and business.
The
Logistics Center will be on the upper stream of the Yangtze River, and close to the northern base of Wuhan Iron and Steel, China’s
first mega-sized iron and steel production complex. The Logistics Center is expected to include a port terminal that will be located
approximately 26.5km from the Wuhan Guan and 5.5km from the Yangluo Yangtze River Bridge. The operation area of the port is expected
to consist of a riverbank of 1,039 meters with eight 5,000-to-10,000-ton berths, two of which are multi-purpose berths and the
other six are general cargo berths. It is designed to be able to handle up to 5,000,000 tons of cargo annually, including up to
100,000 TEU for annual container throughput (including 20,000 TEU in freezer areas), 1,000,000 tons of iron and steel and 3,000,000
tons of general cargo.
Within
the Logistics Center, functional areas will be divided into six operating zones: a port operation area, a warehouse and distribution
area, a cold chain supply logistics area, a rail cargo loading area, an exhibition area and a business related area. The Logistics
Center will also be complemented with container storage areas, multi-functional areas, general storage areas, a multi-functional
warehouse and infrastructural development, including new roads, gas stations, parking areas, gas and water pipes, electricity
lines and all other facilities and equipment to operate the Logistics Center.
Aside
from being situated in the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the Yangluo development area is among the third group of China’s
Pilot Free Trade Zone (“FTZ”) applicants to submit FTZ applications to the State Council. As of the date hereof, approvals
have been granted to Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Corporations within the approved free-trade zones are typically
entitled to a series of favorable regulations and policies that could help the businesses grow and succeed.
The
Logistics Center is expected to occupy approximately 1,918,000 square meters, for which the construction and development are expected
to be completed in three phases in three years and reach its target maximum annual profit by the end of 2022 assuming the entire
funding required for construction of the Logistics Center of $1.03 billion is in place by 2021 and the Logistics Center is in
operation per our business plan. We have updated our original time-frame and the following table illustrates the anticipated timeframe
of our investment and construction progress.

Wuhan
Newport has signed a twenty-year lease agreement effective April 27, 2015, the maximum number of years permitted by the applicable
PRC laws, with rights to renew, at its sole discretion, for another twenty-years, to lease approximately 1,200,000 square meters
of land for building logistics warehouses in support of the Logistics Center. The warehouses are expected to be comprised port
terminal zones, warehouse logistics zones, cold chain supply zones and railroad loading and unloading zones. The warehouses, once
constructed, will connect the port terminal along the Yangtze River and the railway leading to Europe, satisfying the requirement
of China’s latest “One Belt, One Road” initiative. It will also be able to support large logistics companies
in Wuhan and other nearby provinces which will rent the warehouses, terminals and offices within the Logistics Center.

Property
Office
Complex Project
Taking
into consideration the Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Free Trade Zone status of the Logistic Center, Wuhan Newport has obtained
the land use rights to own approximately 500,000 square meters of commercial lands on which Wuhan Newport will build a mixed residential
and office complex of approximately 700,000 square meters. As of the date of this Annual Report, mixed-use complex totaling
approximately 100,000 square meters have been completed and there are outstanding 600,000 square meters to be constructed in three
phases within the next five (5) years.
To
support the office complex, a light railway from downtown Wuhan to the complex is undergoing construction, for which the complex
will be accessible by two stations along the light railway line. In addition, an expressway along the north shore of the Yangtze
River in Wuhan is currently under construction; the completion of the highway is also expected to provide direct ground access
between Wuhan city center and the Logistics Center and cut down the commute time to only 20 minutes.
Upon
completion of the construction of the office buildings, Wuhan Newport plans to sell half of the complex while leasing out the
remaining half for long-term income. It is Company’s goal to recover the initial investment costs through sale of half of
the complex and generate a stable return based on rent of the other half complex upon completion of the project.
Transportation
and Logistics Services
Taking
the regional advantage of the highways, railways and waterways in Yangluo area, we plan to develop a shipping hub with access
to all types of cargo transportation and offer complementary services to businesses within this logistics center. We intend to
create an efficient, reliable and comprehensive logistics service system by utilizing the third-party service providers with offices
within the Logistics Center to provide professional logistics services.
We
are currently constructing the port terminal which will be the focal point of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The Yangtze River
riverbank within our properties measures 1,039 meters, where we plan to complete eight cargo berths handling ships ranging from
5,000 to 10,000 tons.
A
cargo transportation railway invested by the government has been built next to the Logistic Center. The railway is known as the
Wuhan-Xinjiang-Europe (“WXE”) Railway in the Silk Road Economic Zone as it is in the “One Belt, One Road”
initiative introduced by the Chinese government. The WXE Freight Train sets out from Wuhan to Xinjiang and finally ends in Mainland
Europe. Wuhan Newport’s terminal is therefore an important component of the “Silk Road Economic Belt” under
the “One Belt, One Road” framework.
The
customs facility at the Yangluo Comprehensive Bonded Area allows cargo vessels ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 tons to set out from
Shanghai downstream via the Yangtze River in order to transport “Made in China” commodities to the Pacific Ocean and
further to any other ports across the Indian Ocean. In return, transporting commodities from other countries will be shipped directly
back to Wuhan and then distributed throughout rest of the Mainland China. Aside from being situated in the Wuhan Yangluo Comprehensive
Bonded Zone, the Yangluo development area is amongst the third group of China’s Free-Trade Zone applicants to submit FTZ
applications to the State Council through the Wuhan municipal government for approval. Approvals have so far been granted to Shanghai,
Tianjin, Guangdong and Fujian. Enterprises within the approved free-trade zones are typically entitled to a series of favorable
regulations and policies that could help the businesses grow and succeed.
Cold
Chain Logistics Services
A
cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain. An unbroken cold chain is an uninterrupted series of storage and distribution
activities which maintain a given temperature range. It is used to help extend and ensure the shelf life of products such as fresh
agricultural produce, seafood and frozen food.
Within
the Logistics Center, we will be able to provide extensive storage and processing services to its customers. Meanwhile, a cold
chain logistics service system will be established to better help our clients’ processing needs for their frozen foods,
meats and other products that need special processing and handling. In addition, we will offer professional services with temperature
control, sorting, processing, packaging and delivery to ensure the reliability and safety of the logistics process.
Information
Platform
To
adapt to the needs of modern logistics service and meet the standards of the industry worldwide, we will establish comprehensive
automated management systems, as well as develop an operation system, enquiry system and decision-making systems for all types
of business information such as warehouse, storage, trade, distribution and transportation, movable assets supervision and freight
forwarding. We plan to launch an integrated and information-sharing platform geared towards the demand of its targeted markets
and potential clients.
We
will establish a uniform information platform including an internet-based logistics information portal and an e-commerce platform
to provide our clients with services such as logistics services tracking, service rating, online operation, electronic transaction,
etc. We expect this information portal to be equally reliable for both service providers and their respective clients.
We
will also establish an e-commerce system based on the logistics information portal and we will provide clients with many updated
services such as online transactions, online payments, online inquiries and business information communication. This will create
a comprehensive service system and a business model with high integration of information flow, capital flow, trade flow and goods
flow.
Portside
Service
We
also plan to provide incentives for companies that specialize in IT, production of new material and high-end equipment and manufacturing
companies to station nearby the Logistics Center so that these companies can grow with the Logistics Center, leveraging each other’s
specialization to serve each other’s business needs.
Logistics
Financing
Logistics
financing is mainly based on using supplies as collateral to obtain financing for supply chains to improve its overall economic
efficiency. Developing an innovative logistics financing is significant because traditionally mortgages or loans are concentrated
in real estate and logistics financing provides a lower systematic risk for lenders.
Compared
to developed countries, we believe that logistics financing is a rather new field in China. The driving force for logistics financial
service in western countries is mainly attributable to financial institutions as opposed to third-party private logistics companies
in China who would occasionally provide financing options.
Logistics
financial services became a popular investment vehicle among these third-party lenders. However, the business of logistics financing
has become more complex for these private lenders to handle as they will need professionals to guide them through the process
and thus safeguard their investments.
Even
though the history of logistics financing has been relatively short in China, the appetite for this is expected to grow as the
Free Trade Zones in Shanghai, Tianjin and soon-to-be Wuhan will likely attract more business and international financial institutions.
Logistics financing not only provides businesses with a new alternative to meet their capital needs, but also opens a new channel
for commercial banks to reach small and mid-size businesses. While interest income generated from logistics financing transaction
is often an important source of income for many multinational logistics companies, companies who are able to provide financing
are often the industry leaders. Because logistics financing can be an effective channel for the Company to reach its targeted
market, we plan to capture this first-mover advantage when logistics financing is still in its development stage in China.
In
light of this market opportunity, we plan to establish and utilize e-commerce platforms to offer online booking, online dealing
and online exhibiting services to provide professional transaction services for electronic products, commodity, foods and metals.
We also plan to provide comprehensive support services to complement logistics financing. Maritime insurance and training services
will be offered within the Logistic Center. We plan to help our clients to raise construction capital through Build-Transfer (“BT”),
Build-Operate-Transfer (“BOT”), corporate debt and equity financing. Finally, we plan to collaborate and develop strategic
alliances with other logistics or cargo shipping centers around the world.
Sales
and Marketing
We
plan to sell our properties by forming strategic alliances with CMST Development (Hankou) Co. Ltd. (“CMST-Hankou”),
the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Hubei (“SCCH”) and the Wuhan Coal Business Association (“WCBA”).
Partnership
with CMST
CMST-Hankou
is a regional subsidiary of the CMST Development Co. Ltd, which is a state-owned enterprise that principally engages in the logistics
and import & export businesses. CMST-Hankou’s core business includes warehouse storage, sale and distribution of commodities,
and freight forwarding. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding executed with CMST-Hankou on August 20, 2015, CMST-Hankou has
agreed to transfer all of its warehouse storage and processing division, distribution service division and other existing businesses
to the premises of the Logistics Center. In addition, CMST-Hankou has agreed to move its warehouse for steel trading business
with the Shanghai Future Exchange to the Logistics Center. In consideration, we have agreed to offer CMST-Hankou a 5% discount
on all services provided within the Logistics Center, including those within the warehouses, port terminal, and railway operating
zones. In addition, CMST-Hankou has agreed to assist the Company with the establishment of an online commodity exchange platform
to provide a comprehensive support system through the supply chain and provide necessary personnel to help with the management
of the warehouse operations within the Logistics Center. Though at a slight discount, the Company is expected to receive fees
based on CMST-Hankou’s large volume of commodities that need to be stored and use of complementary services at the warehouse
facilities and operating areas, as well as rental income and/or property sales generated from the office complex. However, the
partnership is subject to the terms and conditions of a definitive agreement between CMST-Hankou and the Company. No assurances
can be provided at this point that such a definitive agreement will be executed.
Partnership
with SCCH
SCCH
is a non-profit business coalition with 252 businesses across various industries as members. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding
executed with SCCH on July 27, 2015, SCCH has agreed to move its headquarters to the office complex within the Logistics Center
by purchasing or leasing certain units. In consideration of a 7% discount to the purchase price of $2,729 per square meter of
our properties, approximately 50 businesses within the organization plan to open offices in the Logistics Center and purchase
at least 100,000 square meters of space within the office complex. SCCH, on behalf of 50 businesses, also executed a letter of
intent to purchase approximately 100,000 square meters of storefront. In addition, because we expect the 50 businesses to have
a total annual turnover of commodities of more than 5,000,000 tons, we have agreed to offer members of SCCH a 5% discount on all
services provided within the Logistics Center, including those within the warehouses, port terminal, and railway operating zones.
However, the partnership is subject to the terms and conditions of a definitive agreement between SCCH and the Company. No assurances
can be provided at this point that such a definitive agreement will be executed.
Partnership
with WCBA
WCBA
is a non-profit business coalition with more than 300 businesses within the coal mining industry as members. Pursuant to the Memorandum
of Understanding executed with WCBA on September 17, 2015, WCBA has agreed to move its headquarters to the office complex within
the Logistics Center by purchasing or leasing certain units. We have agreed to offer WCBA member businesses a 5% discount to the
purchase price of $2,729 per square meter of our properties. In addition, because we expect WCBA members to have a total annual
turnover of coal-related commodities of more than 20,000,000 tons and will use the Company’s warehouse storage for at least
3,000,000 tons, we have agreed to offer members of WCBA a 5% discount on all services provided within the Logistics Center, including
those within the warehouses, port terminal, and railway operating zones. However, the partnership is subject to the terms and
conditions of a definitive agreement between WCBA and the Company. No assurances can be provided at this point that such a definitive
agreement will be executed.

Holders
As
of March 8, 2018, there were 50 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of the Company’s common stock
are held by depositaries, brokers and other nominees, the number of beneficial holders of the Company’s shares is substantially
larger than the number of stockholders of record.
Dividends
We
have never declared or paid a cash dividend. Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our Board of Directors.
We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends.
Even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations
and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the
Board of Directors may deem relevant.

order to compensate our officers, directors, employees and/or consultants, on February 23, 2016, our Board of Directors approved
and stockholders ratified by consent the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan has a total of 10,000,000
shares reserved for issuance.
Under
the Plan, an eligible person in the Company’s service may acquire a proprietary interest in the Company in the form of shares

RIVER PORT & LOGISTICS LIMITED
NOTES
TO the Unaudited condensed FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2018 and December 31, 2017
1.
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Yangtze River Port & Logistics Limited
(the “Company” or “Yangtze River”) and its subsidiaries, Energetic Mind Limited (“Energetic Mind”),
Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Limited (“Ricofeliz Capital”), and Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan
Newport”).
The
Company, formerly named as Yangtze River Development Limited, Kirin International Holding, Inc., and Ciglarette, Inc., was incorporated
in the State of Nevada on December 23, 2009. The Company was a development stage company and has not generated significant revenue
from inception through March 1, 2011.
On
March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement where Kirin China Holding Limited (“Kirin China”)
became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Kirin China engaged in the development and sales of residential and commercial
real estate properties, and development of land lots in People’s Republic of China (“China”, or the “PRC”).
On
December 19, 2015, the Company completed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Energetic Mind and all the shareholders
of Energetic Mind, whereby Yangtze River acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Energetic Mind, in exchange
for 151,000,000 shares of Yangtze River’s common stock, which constituted approximately 88% of its issued and outstanding
shares on a fully-diluted basis of Yangtze River immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange, and an 8% convertible
note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $150,000,000. As a result of the Share Exchange, Energetic Mind became
Yangtze River’s wholly-owned subsidiary and Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (“Jasper”), the former shareholder
of Energetic Mind, became Yangtze River’s controlling stockholder. The Share Exchange transaction with Energetic Mind was
treated as an acquisition, with Energetic Mind as the accounting acquirer and Yangtze River as the acquired party. The financial
statements before the date of the Share Exchange are those of Energetic Mind with the results of the Company being condensed unaudited
condensed consolidated from the date of the Share Exchange.
Energetic
Mind owns 100% of Ricofeliz Capital and operates its business through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport.
Wuhan
Newport was a wholly owned subsidiary of Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd. (the “Wuhan Renhe”), a company incorporated in
the PRC as at September 23, 2002. On July 13, 2015, Wuhan Renhe transferred all of the equity interests of the Company to Ricofeliz
Capital, a company incorporated in Hong Kong on March 25, 2015. Ricofeliz Capital was incorporated by Energetic Mind, a company
incorporated in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Energetic Mind was incorporated by Mr. Liu Xiangyao on January 2,
2015, and was subsequently purchased by various companies incorporated in BVI or the United States of America (“USA”),
among whom Jasper became its 64% owner. Jasper was 100% owned by Mr. Liu Xiangyao, a Hong Kong citizen.
The
major assets of Wuhan Newport include land lots for developing commercial buildings that are in line with the principal activities
of Kirin China.
On
December 31, 2015, the Company entered into certain stock purchase and business sale agreements (the “Agreements”)
with Kirin Global Enterprises, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a California corporation and an entity controlled by a former
officer and director of the Company whereby the Company sold its interest in certain subsidiaries (see Note 11) for an aggregate
of $75,000,002. (the “Sale”).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreements, Jasper agreed to finance the Sale by reducing Company’s financial obligations of the Note
by an aggregate of $75,000,000. In addition, the Purchaser agreed to pay the remaining two dollars in cash.
Upon
completion of the Sale, the Company operates its business solely through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport, primarily engaging in the
business as a port logistic center located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the PRC.

TO the unaudited condensed FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EDP
Transaction
On
December 26, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with shareholders holding 100% of the equity interest of Wuhan Economic
Development Port Limited (the “Acquiree” or “EDP”) to acquire all the interests of Acquiree; and the Acquiree
shareholders will acquire all the equity interest held by the Company in Energetic Mind. Energetic Mind holds 100% interest in
Ricofeliz Capital that holds 100% capital stock of Wuhan Newport (the “Purchase Agreement”).
Upon
execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Acquiree will undergo a reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, the
Acquiree will become a limited liability company. It will be held by a Hong Kong company, which will be 100% owned by a BVI
entity.
Pursuant
to the original Purchase Agreement, the closing of the transaction, which shall be no later than June 30, 2018, is conditioned
upon satisfaction of due diligence by both parties, the completion of auditing of the financial statements of the Acquiree,
and the approval of relevant regulatory agencies.
On
March 31, 2018 and June 5, 2018, the Company entered into supplemental agreements to the Purchase Agreement with Fujian
Yuesheng Industrial Development Limited, the sole shareholder of the EDP, to extend the closing deadline from March 31, 2018
to July 31, 2018, subject to the same closing conditions.
By June 30, 2017, the transaction between the Company and the Acquiree was not
closed and effective.
The
consideration of the acquisition transaction will be first offset against both parties of the target companies leaving the balance

Spin-off
Transaction
On
January 30, 2018, the Company incorporated Yangtze River Blockchain Logistics Limited (“Blockchain Logistics”)(formerly
known as Avenal River Limited) in the British Virgin Islands. Blockchain Logistics owns all of the shares of Ricofeliz Investment
(China) Limited, a Hong Kong company, which in turn owns 100% of the equity interest of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Trading
Limited, a PRC company.
On
February 15, 2018, the majority of the Company’s shareholders and the Board of Directors resolved that
1
share of
Blockchain Logistics
will be issued for every 1 share held by Yangtze River
Port and Logistics Limited “YRIV” (the “Spin-off Transaction”).
On
April 24, 2018, due to the potential costs related to the Spin-off Transaction, the Company’s board of directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company not to proceed with
the Spin-off Transaction.

Armada
Transaction
On
October 6, 2016 and November 23, 2016 the Company, by and among Armada Enterprises GP (“Armada”) and Wight International
Construction, LLC (“Wight”), entered into (i) a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (“Contribution
Agreement”) dated October 3, 2016 and its first and second addendums and (ii) an Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement dated November 16, 2016 (collectively with the Contribution Agreement, the “Agreements” or “Transaction”),
whereby the Company acquired 100 million preferred B membership units, which will be ultimately converted into 100 million LP
units in Armada Enterprises LP and in exchange, the Company issued a $500 million convertible promissory note (“Note”)
and 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Wight. As result of the Transaction and the conversion of the Note
on November 17, 2016, Wight owns 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 36.73% of the Company’s
voting power; the Company owns 100 million preferred B membership units in Wight representing 62.5% non-voting equity interest
in Wight.
Under
the terms of the Transaction, at the first closing, Wight was required to provide an aggregate total of $200 million, consisting
$50 million in Working Capital and $150 million in Construction Funding, to the Company by January 18, 2017. Wight did not provide
the funding on January 18, 2017 and the Company gave Notice of Default and Request for Cure. Wight proposed to provide $50 million
in Working Capital on or before February 15, 2017 and secure $150 million in Construction Funding on or before March 15, 2017.
Wight failed to provide the $50 million in Working Capital as proposed by February 15, 2017. Therefore, the Company, on February
24, 2017 determined to terminate the Transaction for non-performance by Wight pursuant to the Agreements executed among the Company,
Armada and Wight. Pursuant to the Agreements, the termination of the Transaction calls for the immediate return of the 100,000,000
shares of common stock issued by the Company to Wight. On February 27, 2017, the Company issued a Notice of Termination to Wight
and demanded the return of the 100,000,000 shares of common stock according to the Agreements. The Company reserves the right
to pursue any further legal action with respect to Armada and Wight’s default.
Under
the terms of the Armada Agreement, at the first closing, Wight was required to provide an aggregate total of $200 million, $50
million in Working Capital and $150 million in Construction Funding, to us by January 18, 2017. Wight did not provide the funding
on January 18, 2017 and the Company gave Notice of Default and Request for Cure. Wight proposed to provide $50 million in Working Capital
on or before February 15, 2017 and secure $150 million in Construction Funding on or before March 15, 2017. Wight failed to provide
the $50 million in Working Capital as proposed by February 15, 2017.
On
February 24, 2017, due to Wight’s nonperformance and nonpayment of $50 million for the First Financing, the Company
decided to unwind the Armada financing. Pursuant to Armada Agreement, the termination of the Armada Agreement calls for the
immediate return of the 100,000,000 shares of common stock issued by the Company to Wight. On February 27, 2017, the Company
issued a notice of termination of contract to Wight. As at March 1, 2017, the Company cancelled the 100,000,000 shares of
common stocks issued to Wight.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2.1
Basis of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries. All transactions
and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented unclassified because the time required to complete real estate projects
and the Company’s working capital considerations usually stretch for more than one-year period.
2.2
Use of estimates
The
preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates
using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant
accounting estimates reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful
debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets;
(vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment; and (vii) real estate property refunds and compensation payables.
2.3
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of six months or less, which are unrestricted
as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.
2.4
Property and equipment
The
property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated
in Note 7.
The
Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes
any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses
as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

2.5
Impairment of long-lived assets
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”(ASC 360- 10)
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable
through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever
any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value.
The
Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least
annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater
than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent
of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its
evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected
to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows,
the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation
of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential
investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections
are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
2.6
Fair values of financial instruments
ASC
Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard,
the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be
realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets
and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying
value of the Company.
Level

|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
Level
2
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are
observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
|
Level

|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As
of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables,
other receivables, short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets,
and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.
2.7
Convertible notes
In
accordance with ASC subtopic 470-20, the convertible notes are initially carried at the principal amount of the convertible notes.
Debt premium or discounts, which are the differences between the carrying value and the principal amount of convertible notes
at the issuance date, together with related debts issuance cost, are subsequently amortized using effective interest method as
adjustments to interest expense from the debt issuance date to its first redemption date. Convertible notes are classified as
a current liability if they are or will be callable by the Company or puttable by the debt holders within one year from the balance
sheet date, even though liquidation may not be expected within that period.

Foreign currency translation and transactions
The
Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the
Company’s reporting currency. Yangtze River, Energetic Mind, and Ricofeliz Capital uses US$ as its functional currency.
Wuhan Newport uses Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are
initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially
recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of

Revenue recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue from steel trading when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price
is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Real
estate sales are reported in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment, Real Estate Sales.
Revenue
from the sales of completed properties and properties where the construction period is twelve months or less is recognized by
the full accrual method when (a) sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing involvements are adequate to
demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; (c) the receivable is not subject to future subordination; (d) the Company has
transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in a transaction that is in substance a sale and does not have
a substantial continuing involvement with the property. A sale is not considered consummated until (a) the parties are bound by
the terms of a contract or agreement, (b) all consideration has been exchanged, (c) any permanent financing for which the seller
is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments
to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting
all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method,
all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Revenue
and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the
percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond
a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the
unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales
prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not
met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.
The
Company has not generated any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018
and 2017.

2.10
Real estate capitalization and cost allocation
Real
estate property completed and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction
and units completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever
is lower. Cost capitalization of development and redevelopment activities begins during the predevelopment period, which we define
as the activities that are necessary to begin the development of the property. We cease capitalization upon substantial completion
of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We also cease capitalization when activities
necessary to prepare the property for its intended use have been suspended. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development
costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease
terms of 40 years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company
delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within
a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized.
Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales
value.
2.11
Capitalization of interest
In
accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under
development. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $nil and $nil were capitalized as properties under development,
respectively.
2.12
Advertising expenses
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $nil and $nil, respectively.
2.13
Share-based compensation
The
Company grants restricted shares to its non-employee consultants. Awards granted to non-employees are measured at fair value at
the earlier of the commitment date or the date the services are completed, and are recognized using graded vesting method over
the period the service is provided.
2.14
Income taxes
Current
income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions
in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes
are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable
income.
The
Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement
recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the
weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution
of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is
more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any
uncertain tax position.
2.15
Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)
In
accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30%
to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures,
including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each
year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed
and majority of the units are sold. The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate
of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant
PRC laws and regulations. LAT would be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss).

2.16
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during
the period for convertible notes under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Potential common shares are not included in the denominator
of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which
a net loss is recorded.
2.17
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive
loss includes net income (loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
2.18
Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out
of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance
with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when
it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
2.19
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The
Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2018-11, if currently adopted,
would have a material effect of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
3.
Risks
(a)
Liquidity risk
The
Company is exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to
meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring
procedures.
(b)
Foreign currency risk
A
majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are
denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either
through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted
by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application
form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies
and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System
market.

REAL ESTATE PROPERTY REFUND AND COMPENSATION PAYABLe
During
the years 2012 and 2011, the Company signed 443 binding agreements of sales of commercial offices of the project with floor area
of 22,790 square meters to unrelated purchasers (the transactions or the real estate sales transactions). The Company received
deposits and considerations from the purchasers as required by the agreements. The construction commenced in the 2010, which was
originally expected to be delivered to customers in late of 2012. No revenue was recognized from the sales of the commercial offices
due to the reason stated below.
Owing
to commercial reasons, the Company decided to terminate the agreements made for the sale of the real estate properties in relation
to the project of Wuhan Centre China Grand Market. According to the agreements of sales, the Company is obliged to compensate
the purchaser at a rate equal to 6% per annum or 0.05% per day on the deposits paid. In the three months ended June 30, 2018 and
2017, the Company incurred $367,101 and $356,160 respectively compensation expenses which were included in general and administrative
expenses. In the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $745,029 and $700,446 respectively compensation
expenses which were included in general and administrative expenses.
As
at June 30, 2018, 375 out of 443 agreements were cancelled, and no completed office (or real estate certificate) has been
delivered to the purchaser. The Company is still in the progress of negotiating with the purchasers for the cancellation of
the remaining agreements. The directors of the Company are of the opinion that almost all of the purchasers will accept the
cancellation. If any of the purchasers insist on the execution of the agreement, the Company will accept.
Real
estate property refund and compensation payable represent the amount of customer deposits received and the compensation calculated
in accordance with the provisions in the sales agreements. The payable consists of the followings:

to provide sufficient funding on an as-needed basis. In addition, the Company plans to dispose of the existing developed real

period of time.

and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in owners’ equity and cash flows for

In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did
not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based
on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible
for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects.
Our audits included performing procedures
to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed 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. A company’s
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
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
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide 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. Also, 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.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or
a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
Certain control deficiencies existed in
the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, including (1) lack of adequate policies and procedures in
internal audit function, which resulted in lack of communication between internal audit department and the Audit Committee and
the Board of Directors; (2) insufficient internal audit work to ensure that the Company’s policies and procedures have been
carried out as planned; (3) lack of sufficient full-time accounting staff that have experience and knowledge in identifying and
resolving complex accounting issues under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”); and (4) lack of sufficient
accounting personnel which would provide segregation of duties within the internal control procedures to support the accurate reporting
of the Company’s financial results. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent
of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2017 financial statements.

NOTES
TO the FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2017 and December, 31 2016
1.
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Yangtze River Port and Logistics Limited (the “Company”
or “Yangtze River”) and its subsidiaries, Energetic Mind Limited (“Energetic Mind”), Ricofeliz Capital
(HK) Limited (“Ricofeliz Capital”), and Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan Newport”).
The
Company, formerly named as Yangtze River Development Limited, Kirin International Holding, Inc., and Ciglarette, Inc., was incorporated
in the State of Nevada on December 23, 2009. The Company was a development stage company and has not generated significant revenue
since inception to March 1, 2011.
On
March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement that Kirin China Holding Limited (“Kirin China”)
became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Kirin China engaged in the development and sales of residential and commercial
real estate properties, and development of land lots in People’s Republic of China (“China”, or the “PRC”).
On
December 19, 2015, the Company completed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Energetic Mind and all the shareholders
of Energetic Mind, whereby Yangtze River acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Energetic Mind, in exchange
for 151,000,000 shares of Yangtze River’s common stock, which constituted approximately 88% of its issued and outstanding
shares on a fully-diluted basis of Yangtze River immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange, and an 8% convertible
note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $150,000,000. As a result of the Share Exchange, Energetic Mind became
Yangtze River’s wholly-owned subsidiary and Jasper Lake Holdings Limited (“Jasper”), the former shareholder
of Energetic Mind, became Yangtze River’s controlling stockholder. The Share Exchange transaction with Energetic Mind was
treated as an acquisition, with Energetic Mind as the accounting acquirer and Yangtze River as the acquired party. The financial
statements before the date of the Share Exchange are those of Energetic Mind with the results of the Company being condensed consolidated
from the date of the Share Exchange.
Energetic
Mind owns 100% of Ricofeliz Capital and operates its business through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport.
Wuhan
Newport was a wholly owned subsidiary of Wuhan Renhe Group Co., Ltd. (the “Wuhan Renhe”), a company incorporated in
the PRC as at September 23, 2002. On July 13, 2015, Wuhan Renhe transferred all of the equity interests of the Company to Ricofeliz
Capital, a company incorporated in Hong Kong on March 25, 2015. Ricofeliz Capital was incorporated by Energetic Mind, a company
incorporated in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Energetic Mind was incorporated by Mr. Liu Xiangyao on January 2,
2015, and was subsequently purchased by various companies incorporated in BVI or the United States of America (“USA”),
among whom Jasper became its 64% owner. Jasper was 100% owned by Mr. Liu Xiangyao, a Hong Kong citizen.
The
major assets of Wuhan Newport include land lots for developing commercial buildings that are in line with the principal activities
of Kirin China.
On
December 31, 2015, the Company entered into certain stock purchase and business sale agreements (the “Agreements”)
with Kirin Global Enterprises, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a California corporation and an entity controlled by a former
officer and director of the Company whereby the Company sold its interest in certain subsidiaries (see Note 11) for an aggregate
of $75,000,002. (the “Sale”).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreements, Jasper agreed to finance the Sale by reducing Company’s financial obligations of the Note
by an aggregate of $75,000,000. In addition, the Purchaser agreed to pay the remaining two dollars in cash.
Upon
completion of the Sale, the Company operates its business solely through its subsidiary Wuhan Newport, primarily engaging in the
business as a port logistic center located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the PRC.

1.1
Armada transaction
On
October 6, 2016 and November 23, 2016 the Company, by and among Armada Enterprises GP (“Armada”) and Wight International
Construction, LLC (“Wight”), entered into (i) a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (“Contribution
Agreement”) dated October 3, 2016 and its first and second addendums and (ii) an Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement dated November 16, 2016 (collectively with the Contribution Agreement, the “Agreements” or “Transaction”),
whereby the Company acquired 100 million preferred B membership units, which will be ultimately converted into 100 million LP
units in Armada Enterprises LP and in exchange, the Company issued a $500 million convertible promissory note (“Note”)
and 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Wight. As result of the Transaction and the conversion of the Note
on November 17, 2016, Wight owns 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 36.73% of the Company’s
voting power; the Company owns 100 million preferred B membership units in Wight representing 62.5% non-voting equity interest
in Wight.
Under
the terms of the Transaction, at the first closing, Wight was required to provide an aggregate total of $200 million, consisting
$50 million in Working Capital and $150 million in Construction Funding, to the Company by January 18, 2017. Wight did not provide
the funding on January 18, 2017 and the Company gave Notice of Default and Request for Cure. Wight proposed to provide $50 million
in Working Capital on or before February 15, 2017 and secure $150 million in Construction Funding on or before March 15, 2017.
Wight failed to provide the $50 million in Working Capital as proposed by February 15, 2017. Therefore, the Company, on February
24, 2017 determined to terminate the Transaction for non-performance by Wight pursuant to the Agreements executed among the Company,
Armada and Wight. Pursuant to the Agreements, the termination of the Transaction calls for the immediate return of the 100,000,000
shares of common stock issued by the Company to Wight. On February 27, 2017, the Company issued a Notice of Termination to Wight
and demanded the return of the 100,000,000 shares of common stock according to the Agreements. The Company reserves the right
to pursue any further legal action with respect to Armada and Wight’s default.
Under
the terms of the Armada Agreement, at the first closing, Wight was required to provide an aggregate total of $200 million, $50
million in Working Capital and $150 million in Construction Funding, to us by January 18, 2017. Wight did not provide the funding
on January 18, 2017 and we gave Notice of Default and Request for Cure. Wight proposed to provide $50 million in Working Capital
on or before February 15, 2017 and secure $150 million in Construction Funding on or before March 15, 2017. Wight failed to provide
the $50 million in Working Capital as proposed by February 15, 2017.
On
February 24, 2017, due to Wight’s nonperformance and nonpayment of $50 million for the First Financing, the Company decided
to unwind Armada Financing. Pursuant to Armada Agreement, the termination of the Armada Agreement calls for the immediate return
of the 100,000,000 shares of common stock issued by the Company to Wight. On February 27, 2017, the Company issued a notice of
termination of contract to Wight. As at March 1, 2017, the Company cancelled the 100,000,000 shares of common stocks issued to
Wight.
1.2
Wuhan EDP transaction
On
December 26, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with shareholders holding 100% of the equity interest of Wuhan Economic
Development Port Limited (the “Acquiree” or “Wuhan EDP”) to acquire all the interests of Acquiree; and
the Acquiree Shareholders will acquire all the equity interest held by the Company in Energetic Mind Limited, a BVI company and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Energetic Mind Limited holds 100% interest in Ricofeliz Capital (HK) Ltd., a Hong Kong
company that holds 100% capital stock of Wuhan Yangtze River Newport Logistics Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise formed
under the laws of the People’s Republic of China that primarily engages in the business of real estate and infrastructural
development with a port logistics center located in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China.
Upon
execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Acquiree will undergo reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, the Acquiree
has become a limited liability company. It will be held by a Hong Kong company, which will be 100% owned by a BVI entity.
The
closing of the transaction, which shall be no later than March 31, 2018, is conditioned upon satisfaction of due diligence by
both parties, the completion of auditing of the financial statements of the Acquiree, and the approval of relevant regulatory
agencies. By December 31, 2017, the deal between the Company and the acquiree was not closed and effective.
The
consideration of the acquisition transaction will be first offset against both parties of the target companies leaving the balance
of RMB 600 million (or approximately $91 million) to be paid by the Company to the Acquiree Shareholders. Refundable deposit of
RMB 30 million shall be paid to the Acquiree Shareholders upon initial due diligence and auditing. The remaining RMB 570 million
shall be paid at closing in cash or in the form of a 7% convertible note.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2.1
Basis of presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries. All transactions and balances between
the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The
consolidated balance sheets are presented unclassified because the time required to complete real estate projects and the Company’s
working capital considerations usually stretch for more than one-year period.
2.2
Use of estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information.
Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in
the consolidated financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; (iii)
contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; (vi) useful lives of property plant and equipment;
and (vii) real estate property refunds and compensation payables.
2.3
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted
as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.
2.4
Property and equipment
The
property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated
in Note 7.
The
Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes
any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses
as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.

TO the FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.5
Impairment of long-lived assets
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (ASC 360-
10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable
through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever
any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value.
The
Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least
annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater
than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent
of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its
evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected
to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows,
the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation
of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential
investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections
are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the year ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
2.6
Fair values of financial instruments
ASC
Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard,
the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be
realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets
and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying
value of the Company.
Level
1
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
Level 2
|
inputs to the valuation
methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for
the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
|
Level 3
|
inputs to the valuation
methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
|
As
of December 31, 2017 and 2016, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accrued interest receivables,
other receivables, short-term bank loans, deposits payables and accrued expenses, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets,
and carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.
2.7
Convertible notes
In
accordance with ASC subtopic 470-20, the convertible notes are initially carried at the principal amount of the convertible notes.
Debt premium or discounts, which are the differences between the carrying value and the principal amount of convertible notes
at the issuance date, together with related debts issuance cost, are subsequently amortized using effective interest method as
adjustments to interest expense from the debt issuance date to its first redemption date. Convertible notes are classified as
a current liability if they are or will be callable by the Company or puttable by the debt holders within one year from the balance
sheet date, even though liquidation may not be expected within that period.

2.8
Foreign currency translation and transactions
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting
currency. Yangtze River, Energetic Mind, and Ricofeliz Capital uses US$ as its functional currency. Wuhan Newport uses Renminbi
Yuan(“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional
currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount
are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of operations.
In
accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate
of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at
an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as
part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

is responsible has been arranged, (d) all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Fair value of buyer’s payments
to be received in future periods pursuant to sales contract is classified under accounts receivable. Sales transactions not meeting
all the conditions of the full accrual method are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. Under the deposit method,
all costs are capitalized as incurred, and payments received from the buyer are recorded as a deposit liability.
Revenue
and profit from the sale of development properties where the construction period is more than twelve months is recognized by the
percentage-of-completion method on the sale of individual units when the following conditions are met: (a)construction is beyond
a preliminary stage; (b) the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a refund except for non-delivery of the
unit; (c) sufficient units have already been sold to assure that the entire property will not revert to rental property; (d) sales
prices are collectible and (e) aggregate sales proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated. If any of these criteria are not
met, proceeds are accounted for as deposits until the criteria are met and/or the sale consummated.
The
Company has not generated any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

NOTES
TO the FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.10
Real estate capitalization and cost allocation
Real
estate property completed and real estate properties and land lots under development consist of commercial units under construction
and units completed. Properties under development or completed are stated at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever
is lower. Cost capitalization of development and redevelopment activities begins during the predevelopment period, which we define
as the activities that are necessary to begin the development of the property. We cease capitalization upon substantial completion
of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We also cease capitalization when activities
necessary to prepare the property for its intended use have been suspended. Costs include costs of land use rights, direct development
costs, interest on indebtedness, construction overhead and indirect project costs. The Company acquires land use rights with lease
terms of 40 years through government sale transaction. Land use rights are divided and transferred to customers after the Company
delivers properties. The Company capitalizes payments for obtaining the land use rights, and allocates to specific units within
a project based on units’ gross floor area. Costs of land use rights for the purpose of property development are not amortized.
Other costs are allocated to units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales
value.
2.11
Capitalization of interest
In
accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, interest incurred during construction is capitalized to properties under
development. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, $nil, $nil and $nil were capitalized as properties under development,
respectively.
2.12
Advertising expenses
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs.
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $nil, $2,348 and $7,724, respectively.
2.13
Share-based compensation
The
Company grants restricted shares to its non-employee consultants. Awards granted to non-employees are measured at fair value at
the earlier of the commitment date or the date the services are completed, and are recognized using graded vesting method over
the period the service is provided.
2.14
Income taxes
Current
income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing
consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which
it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts
in the consolidated financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.
The
Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement
recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the
weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution
of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is
more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any uncertain
tax position.
2.15
Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”)
In
accordance with the relevant taxation laws in the PRC, the Company is subject to LAT based on progressive rates ranging from 30%
to 60% on the appreciation of land value, which is calculated as the proceeds of sales of properties less deductible expenditures,
including borrowing costs and all property development expenditures. LAT is prepaid at 1% to 2% of the pre-sales proceeds each
year as required by the local tax authorities, and is settled generally after the construction of the real estate project is completed
and majority of the units are sold. The Company provides LAT as expensed when the related revenue is recognized based on estimate
of the full amount of applicable LAT for the real estate projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant
PRC laws and regulations. LAT would be included in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss).

Earnings (loss) per share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during
the period for convertible notes under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Potential common shares are not included in the denominator
of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which
a net loss is recorded.
2.17
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive
loss includes net income (loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are
the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
2.18
Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out
of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance
with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when
it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
2.19
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The
Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2018-23, if currently adopted,
would have a material effect of the consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
3.
Risks
(a)
Liquidity risk
The
Company is exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to
meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring
procedures.
(b)
Foreign currency risk
A
majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are
denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either
through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted
by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application
form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government
policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading
System market.

REAL ESTATE PROPERTY REFUND AND COMPENSATION PAYABLe
During
the years 2012 and 2011, the Company signed 443 binding agreements of sales of commercial offices of the project with floor area
of 22,790 square meters to unrelated purchasers (the transactions or the real estate sales transactions). The Company received
deposits and considerations from the purchasers as required by the agreements. The construction commenced in the 2010, which was
originally expected to be delivered to customers in late of 2012. No revenue was recognized from the sales of the commercial offices
due to the reason stated below.
Owing
to commercial reasons, the Company decided to terminate the agreements made for the sale of the real estate properties in relation
to the project of Wuhan Centre China Grand Market. According to the agreements of sales, the Company is obliged to compensate
the purchaser at a rate equal to 6% per annum or 0.05% per day on the deposits paid. In the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016
and 2015, the Company incurred $1,408,233, $1,433,737 and $1,528,126 compensation expenses which were included in general and
administrative expenses.
As
at December 31, 2017, 375 out of 443 agreements were cancelled, and no completed office (or real estate certificate) has been
delivered to the purchaser. The Company is still in the progress of negotiating with the purchasers for the cancellation of the
remaining agreements. The directors of the Company are of the opinion that almost all of the purchasers shall accept the cancellation.
If, finally the purchaser insisted on the execution of the agreement, the Company will accept.
Real
estate property refund and compensation payable represent the amount of customer deposits received and the compensation calculated
in accordance with the provisions in the sales agreements. The payable consists of the followings:

CONVERTIBLE NOTE
On
December 19, 2015, the Company issued an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $150,000,000 to Jasper, a related party,
in the Share Exchange (see Note 1). The holder of the Note may convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal
amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share. The maturity
date of the Note is December 19, 2018.

December 31, 2015, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreements, Jasper, financed the Purchaser for the Sale by reducing
Company’s financial obligations under the Note by an aggregate of $75,000,000 (see Note 1). As a result of the Sale, the
outstanding balance due to Jasper under the Note was $75,000,000 plus any accrued interest.

value of the common share price at the date of issuance. The Company has accounted for the Note in accordance with ASC 470-20,
as a single instrument as a non-current liability. The Note is initially carried at the gross cash received at the issuance date.

Revenue.
We
did not generate any revenue from the sales of real estate property for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. In addition,
since our Logistics Center is still in its development stage and therefore is not yet in operation, we have not started providing
any logistics service within our port terminal and have not generated any revenue from providing such services.
Cost
of revenue.
During
each year ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, our cost of goods sold was $nil.
Gross
profit.
Our
gross margin was $nil for each of year ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Selling
expenses.
Selling
expenses were $nil for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $2,348 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease
of $2,348 or 100.0%. Selling expenses decreased by $9,229 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the amount
of $11,577 in the year ended December 31, 2015. The decreases were mainly due to the lack of selling activities in 2017 and 2016.
General
and administrative expenses
.
Our
general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, office expenses, utilities, business travel, amortization expenses (including
legal expenses, accounting expenses and other professional service expenses) and stock compensation. General and administrative
expenses were $5,076,347 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $5,446,175 for the year ended December 31, 2016,
a decrease of $369,828 primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses for professional services. General and
administrative expenses increased by $898,529 during 2016 compared to $4,547,646 in 2015, mainly due to an increase in share-based
compensation expense for professional services.
Loss
from operations.
As
a result of the factors described above, operating loss was $5,076,347 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to operating
loss of $5,448,523 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of operating loss of $372,176, or approximately 7%. Loss from
operations increased by $889,300 during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $4,559,223 in the year ended December 31,2015.
The increase and decrease of loss from operations for each of these three years are mainly because of expenses related to share-based
compensation expense for professional services.

31, 2016, a decrease of $203,311 or 2%. Interest expenses increased by $5,225,763 during the year ended December
31, 2016 compared to $3,199,031 in the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to increase of interest on a convertible note.
Income
tax.
We
received an income tax benefit of $1,040,873 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $1,143,595 and $1,378,700 for each

2016, net loss increased by $6,344,218 compared to the net loss of $6,381,862 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Foreign
currency translation.
Our
financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars but the functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB. Results of
operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at
the unified exchange rate at the end of the period and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments
resulting from the process of translating the financial statements denominated in RMB into U.S. dollars are included in determining
comprehensive income. Our foreign currency translation gain for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $18,385,359, compared to
a foreign currency loss of $19,227,596 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The changes reflect the significant appreciation
of RMB to U.S. dollars for the year ended December 31, 2017. Foreign currency translation loss increased by $12,577,679 for the
year ended December 31, 2016 compared to loss of $6,649,917 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

We
had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $58,414 as of December 31, 2017. We have historically funded our working capital
needs through advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from stockholders. Our working capital requirements

of 2016, share-based compensation expense contributed $2,014,664 in cash inflow, which led to an increase of $229,184 in net
cash outflow. During 2016, share-based compensation expense contributed $2,014,664 in cash. In the same period
of 2015, share-based compensation expense contributed $1,808,867 cash inflow, which led to a decrease of $205,797 in net cash

of $411,151 in net cash outflow.

●
|
Changes
in other payables and accrued liabilities provided $8,388,760 cash inflow for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to
other payables and accrued liabilities contributing $8,559,773 cash inflow for the year ended December 31, 2016,

the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $4,874,761 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Changes
in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There
are not and have not been any changes in or disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting
principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market
risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and
rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Risk
The
functional currency of our operating subsidiary is RMB, and therefore our operations are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly
changes in the RMB to the U.S. dollar.
Effect
of Inflation
We
believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31,
2017. There can be no assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations
or financial condition.

in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries. All transactions and balances
between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
2.2
Use of estimates
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available
information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates
reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated
liabilities; (iii) contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; and (vi) useful lives of property
and equipment.
2.3
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted
as to withdrawal and use the Company maintains accounts at banks and has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

2.4
Inventories
Inventories
consist of materials and supplies that are stated at lower of average cost or market.
2.5
Property and equipment, net
The
property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated
in Note 6.
The
Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes
any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses
as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.
2.6
Land use rights, net
Land
use rights represent amounts paid for the Company’s leases for the use right of lands located in Hannan District Port of Wuhan
City of PRC. Amounts are charged to earnings ratably over the term of the lease of 46 years.
2.7
Port operating rights, net
Port
operating rights represent amounts paid for the Company’s right to operate the coastline located in Hannan District Port
of Wuhan City of PRC. The rights are amortized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful live
of 47 years (the period of the operating rights being available).
2.8
Other intangible assets, net
Acquired
intangible assets mainly consist of software and system for port operations and management acquired from third parties. Estimated
useful lives of other intangible assets are stated in Note 9.
2.9
Impairment of long-lived assets
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (ASC 360-
10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable
through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever
any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value.
The
Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least
annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater
than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent
of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its
evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected
to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows,
the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation
of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential
investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections
are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

2.10
Fair values of financial instruments
ASC
Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard,
the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be
realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets
and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying
value of the Company.
Level
1
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
Level
2
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are
observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
|
Level
3
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
|
As
of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accounts receivables,
note receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables and prepayments, current loans payable, accrued expenses and other current
liabilities, and due to related parties, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their
fair values because of their generally short maturities.
2.11
Foreign currency translation and transactions
The
Company’s Condensed Consolidated financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s
reporting currency. The Company and its subsidiaries use Renminbi Yuan(“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions
in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences
between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction
in the statements of operations.
In
accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate
of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at
an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’
equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

2.12
Revenue recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue from services rendered when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the
price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
2.13
Advertising expenses
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $7,815 and $2,663, respectively.
2.14
Income taxes
Current
income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing
Condensed Consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions
in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes
are recognized for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.
The
Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement
recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the
weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution
of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is
more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any
uncertain tax position.
2.15
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive
loss includes net income (loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
2.16
Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out
of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance
with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when
it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

2.17
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The
Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2018-08, if currently adopted,
would have a material effect of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
3.
Risks
(a)
Liquidity risk
The
Company is exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to
meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring
procedures.
(b)
Foreign currency risk
A
majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are
denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either
through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted
by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application
form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government
policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading
System market.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board
of Directors and Investors of Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wuhan Economic Development Port Limited (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes
in owners’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries. All transactions and balances between
the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
2.2
Use of estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information.
Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in
the consolidated financial statements include: (i) the allowance for doubtful debts; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; (iii)
contingencies; (iv) deferred tax assets; (v) impairment of long-lived assets; and (vi) useful lives of property and equipment.
2.3

2.4
Inventories
Inventories
consist of materials and supplies that are stated at lower of average cost or market.
2.5
Property and equipment, net
The
property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The depreciation is computed on a straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% salvage value. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are stated
in Note 6.
The
Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes
any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses
as incurred; major additions and betterment to equipment are capitalized.
2.6
Land use rights, net
Land
use rights represent amounts paid for the Company’s leases for the use right of lands located in Hannan District Port of Wuhan
City of PRC. Amounts are charged to earnings ratably over the term of the lease of 46 years.
2.7
Port operating rights, net
Port
operating rights represent amounts paid for the Company’s right to operate the coastline located in Hannan District Port
of Wuhan City of PRC. The rights are amortized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful live
of 47 years (the period of the operating rights being available).
2.8
Other intangible assets, net
Acquired
intangible assets mainly consist of software and system for port operations and management acquired from third parties. Estimated
useful lives of other intangible assets are stated in Note 9.
2.9
Impairment of long-lived assets
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC No. 360 Sub topic 10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (ASC 360-
10) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable
through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever
any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
value.
The
Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite lived intangible assets, for impairment at least
annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater
than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent
of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its
evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected
to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows,
the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation
of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential
investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections
are considered necessary. There were no impairment losses in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

2.10
Fair values of financial instruments
ASC
Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard,
the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be
realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets
and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying
value of the Company.
Level
1
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
Level
2
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are
observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
|
Level
3
|
inputs
to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As
of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, accounts receivables, note
receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables and prepayments, current loans payable, accrued expenses and other current
liabilities, and due to related parties, which were carried at cost on the balance sheets, and carrying amounts approximated their
fair values because of their generally short maturities.
2.11
Foreign currency translation and transactions
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting
currency. The Company and its subsidiaries use Renminbi Yuan(“RMB”) as its functional currency. Transactions in foreign
currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the
initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements
of operations.
In
accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of
exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an
average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in owners’ equity as part
of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue from services rendered when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the
price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
2.13
Advertising expenses
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred, or the first time the advertising takes place, in accordance with ASC 720-35, Advertising Costs.
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded advertising expenses of $5,493, $92,925 and $113,855,
respectively.
2.14
Income taxes
Current
income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing
consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which
it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts
in the consolidated financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.
The
Company adopts a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement
recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the
weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution
of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is
more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any uncertain
tax position.
2.15
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive
loss includes net income (loss) and foreign currency adjustments. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are
the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
2.16
Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out
of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance
with ASC No. 450 Sub topic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when
it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

2.17
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The
Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards from ASU 2018-08, if currently adopted,
would have a material effect of the consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
3.
Risks
(a)
Liquidity risk
The
Company is exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to
meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring
procedures.
(b)
Foreign currency risk
A
majority of the Company’s operating activities and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are
denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either
through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted
by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application
form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government
policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading
System market.

Acquisition:

|
●
|

our interests in Wuhan Newport and the Logistics Center and will assume the business of Wuhan Port. Conversely, if the Wuhan Port
Acquisition were to fail to be consummated, then we shall continue our plans to develop the Logistics Center.
