NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. “SRRE” was incorporated in Texas on October 10, 1996 under the name of Parallax Entertainment, Inc. SRRE together with its subsidiaries and equity investment described below is collectively referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”. The Company is primarily engaged in the provision of property brokerage services, which include property marketing, leasing and management services; and real estate development in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has the following major subsidiaries and equity investment.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations and the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of Sunrise Real Estate as of June 30, 2020 and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Sunrise Real Estate Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Investments in business entities, in which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of SRRE, CY-SRRE and LRY is U.S. dollars (“$”) and their financial records and the financial statements are maintained and prepared in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliate in China is Renminbi (“RMB”) and their financial records and statements are maintained and prepared in RMB.

Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into each company’s denominated currency at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into each company’s denominated currency at period-end exchange rates. All exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statements of operations.

The financial statements of the Company’s operations based outside of the United States have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC830. Management has determined that the functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign operations is its applicable local currency. When translating functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars, period-end exchange rates are applied to the condensed consolidated balance sheets, while average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses are applied to consolidated statements of operations. The effect of foreign currency translation adjustments is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

The exchange rates as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $1: RMB7.0795 and $1: RMB6.9762, respectively.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transaction must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rate used in translation.

Real Estate Property under Development

Real estate property under development, which consists of residential unit sites and commercial and residential unit sites under development, is stated at the lower of carrying amounts or fair value less selling costs.

Expenditures for land development, including cost of land use rights, deed tax, pre-development costs and engineering costs, are capitalized and allocated to development projects by the specific identification method. Costs are allocated to specific units within a project based on the ratio of the sales value of units to the estimated total sales value times the total project costs.

Costs of amenities transferred to buyers are allocated as common costs of the project that are allocated to specific units as a component of total construction costs. For amenities retained by the Company, costs in excess of the related fair value of the amenity are also treated as common costs. Results of operations of amenities retained by the Company are included in current operating results.

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), real estate property under development is subject to valuation adjustments when the carrying amount exceeds fair value. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.

In October 2018, we established HATX for the purpose of for real estate development in Huai’an through HAZB of which we have 78.46% ownership. HAZB purchased the property in Qingjiang Pu District, Huai’an City, Jiangsu Province, with an area of 78,030 square meters and the Company, through HATX, invested 78.46% shares in HAZB. The Huaian project, named Tianxi Times, started its first phase development in early 2019 with a gross floor area (“GFA”) of 82,218 sqm totaling 679 units. As of November 30, 2020, the Company pre-sold 672 out of 679 units.

In September 2020, LYSY had purchased a land area of 54,314 square meters for RMB228,120,000 (approximately USD32,197,146), which is south to our developed land

Long Term Investments

The Company accounts for long term investments in equities as follows:

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Affiliates are entities over which the Company has significant influence, but which it does not control. The Company generally considers an ownership interest of 20% or higher to represent significant influence. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of affiliates is recognized in the income statement and its shares of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its affiliates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the affiliates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company did not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

The Company is required to perform an impairment assessment of its investments whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when there has been a loss in the value of the investment that is not temporary. The Company did not record any impairment losses in any of the periods reported.

Other Investments

Where the Company has no significant influence, the investment is classified as other assets in the balance sheet and is carried under the measurement alternative which is measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Investment income is recognized by the Company when the investee declares a dividend and the Company believes it is collectible. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investment under the measurement alternative method in the case of the investment in SHDEW and any decline in value is included in impairment of cost of the investment.

Government Subsidies

Government subsidies include cash subsidies received by the Company’s subsidiaries from local governments in the People's Republic of China (“PRC”).

In recognizing the benefit of government subsidies in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company considers intended use of and restrictions of the subsidy, the requirements for the receipt of funds, and whether or not the incentive is given for immediate financial support, or to encourage activities such as land development in specified area. Each grant is evaluated to determine the propriety of classification on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets. Those grants that are substantively reimbursements of specified costs are matched with those costs and recorded as a reduction in costs. Those benefits that are more general in nature or driven by business performance measures are classified as revenue.

Government subsidy was received in 2012 and the company recorded it as deferred government subsidy in balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the deferred government subsidy amounted to $ 4,681,887 and $4,751,214, respectively. The subsidy was used to reimburse the land acquisition costs and certain construction costs incurred for the Company’s property development project in Linyi, and are repayable if the Company fails to complete the subsidized property development project by the agreed date.

Revenue Recognition

Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from real estate sales in the PRC. The majority of the Company’s contracts contain a single performance obligation involving significant real estate development activities that are performed together to deliver a real estate property to customers. Revenues arising from real estate sales are recognized when or as the control of the asset is transferred to the customer. The control of the asset may transfer over time or at a point in time. For the sales of individual condominium units in a real estate development project, the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset.

All revenues represent gross revenues less sales and business tax.

ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. ASC 606 also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, ASC 606 requires extensive disclosures.

The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of comparative periods and no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings recognized as of the date of adoption. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from development and sales of condominium real estate property in the PRC, with revenue previously recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the new standard, to recognize revenue over time similar to the percentage of completion method, contractual provisions need to provide the Company with an enforceable right to payment and the Company has no alternative use of the asset. Historically, all contracts executed contained an enforceable right to home purchase payments and the Company had no alternative use of assets, therefore, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share recognizes common stock equivalents, however; potential common stock in the diluted EPS computation is excluded in net loss periods, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that amends the guidance for measuring and recording credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost by replacing the incurred-loss model with an expected-loss model. Accordingly, these financial assets are now presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This new standard also requires that credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities be recorded as an allowance through net income rather than reducing the carrying amount under the former other-than-temporary-impairment model. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020, using a modified-retrospective approach. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and introduces a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this new accounting standard on January 1, 2020, using the prospective method, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-18 “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606” (“ASU 2018-18”). ASU 2018-18 clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, the update precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as customer revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this standard and applied it retrospectively to January 1, 2018 when we initially adopted Topic 606. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss new accounting pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 3 – RESTRICTED CASH

The Company is required to maintain certain deposits with the bank for those home buyers that has applied for a housing loan from their bank. This deposit is a percentage to each home buyer’s bank loan for the purpose of purchasing in our project. Once we complete the handover to the buyer, these deposits become unrestricted. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company held cash deposits of $ 38,346,579 and $8,383,359, respectively.

NOTE 4 – TRANSACTIONAL FINANCIAL ASSETS

As of June 30, 2020, we have $ 26,705,794 invested in bank wealth management investment products. The investments are short termed with maturity periods and can be rolled into a maturity date of our choosing or automatically rolled into subsequent maturity period. The annualized rate of return may range from 3.15% to 4.4% depending on the amount and time period invested.

NOTE 5 – REAL ESTATE PROPERTY UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Real estate property under development represents the Company’s real estate development project in Linyi, the PRC (“Linyi Project”), which is located at the junction of Xiamen Road and Hong Kong Road in Linyi City Economic Development Zone, Shandong Province, PRC. This project covers a site area of approximately 103,385 square meters for the development of villa-style residential housing buildings. The Company acquired the site and commenced construction of this project during the fiscal year of 2012. We pre-sold 1 18 of 121 Phase 1 villas and pre-sold 82 of 84 Phase 2 villas as of November 30, 2020.

On March 13, 2014, the Company signed a joint development agreement with Zhongji Pufa Real Estate Co. According to this agreement, the Company has obtained a right to develop the Guangxinglu (“GXL”) project, which located on 182 lane Guangxinglu, Putuo district, Shanghai, PRC. This project covers a site area of approximately 2,502 square meters for the development of one building of apartment. In 2016 the government issued a regulation prohibiting the by-unit sale of commercial-use buildings. The apartment unit sale for the GXL project was put on hold until the government reviewed our project’s status. Since then, rented out the unsold apartment units while not recognizing the units previously sold before the regulation. In March 2019, we received government confirmation that our project cannot be sold on a unit-by-unit basis going forward. The Company decided to continue operating the project by renting out the units. These unsold units are recognized as investment in properties in Note 9. We also recognized all the units that were sold before the regulation in our financial statement for the period ended Q2, 2019.

In the first quarter of 2019, we purchased the property of HATX with the land use rights. As of June 30, 2020, land use rights included in real estate property under development totaled $ 93,071,511.

In October 2018 we established HATX for the purpose of real estate development in Huaian through HAZB of which we have 78.46% ownership. HAZB purchased the property in Huaian, Qingjiang Pu district with an area of 78,030 square meters and the Company, through HATX, purchased 78.46% of the shares in HAZB. The Huaian project, named Tianxi Times, started its first phase development in early 2019 with a GFA of 82,218 sqm totaling 679 units.

NOTE 19 – STATUTORY RESERVE

According to the relevant corporation laws in the PRC, a PRC company is required to transfer at least 10% of its profit after taxes, as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC, to the statutory reserve until the balance reaches 50% of its registered capital. The statutory reserve can be used to make good on losses or to increase the capital of the relevant company.

According to the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Wholly-Owned Foreign Investment, the Company PRC’s subsidiaries are required to make appropriations from after-tax profits as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) to non-distributable reserves. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion reserve and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. A wholly-owned PRC subsidiary is not required to make appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve but annual appropriations to the general reserve are required to be made at 10% of the profit after tax as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end, until such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve is determined by the board of directors. The general reserve is used to offset future losses. The subsidiary may, upon a resolution passed by the stockholders, convert the general reserve into capital. The staff welfare and bonus reserve are used for the collective welfare of the employees of the subsidiary. The enterprise expansion reserve is for the expansion of the subsidiary operations and can be converted to capital subject to approval by the relevant authorities. These reserves represent appropriations of the retained earnings determined in accordance with Chinese law.

In addition to the general reserve, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain approval from the local PRC government prior to distributing any registered share capital. Accordingly, both the appropriations to general reserve and the registered share capital of the Company’s PRC subsidiary are considered as restricted net assets and are not distributable as cash dividends. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company’s statutory reserve fund was $3,194,604 and $3,194,604, respectively.
