COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation Legal case with Beijing Bank On June 29, 2015, SkyPeople China entered into a loan agreement with Beijing Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 30 million (approximately $4.36 million) from Beijing Bank. Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue and Xiujun Wang provided guarantees for the loan and Shaanxi Boai Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. ("Shaanxi Boai") provided certain real estate property as a pledge for the loan. SkyPeople China did not repay the loan on time and Beijing Bank filed an enforcement request with Xi'an Intermediate People's Court in June 2017. The Xi'an Intermediate People's Court seized real estate properties pledged by Shaanxi Boai and Xiujun Wang. In November 2018, the Court sold the real estate property pledged by Xiujun Wang for RMB 1.17 million. Because the real estate property is Xiujun Wang's primary home, the Court allocated RMB 0.12 million to Xiujun Wang as transition home leasing fee and deducted outstanding mortgage payments, and the remaining amount was delivered to Beijing Bank as the repayment. The Court has also made inquiries to Beijing Bank as to whether it is willing to accept the pledged real estate property of Shaanxi Boai as the repayment of the outstanding loan for the amount of RMB 27.93 million but Beijing Bank has refused to take the real property as repayment of the loan and the enforcement action has been terminated by the Court on December 18, 2018. As of December 31, 2019, SkyPeople China still owe the unpaid amount. SkyPeople China was one of the subsidiaries transferred along with HeDengTang HK to New Continent International Co., Ltd. on February 27, 2020 Legal case with Ningxia Bank On March 8, 2016, SkyPeople China entered into a loan agreement with Ningxia Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 25 million (approximately $3.63 million) from Ningxia Bank. Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue, Lake Chen, Shaanxi Boai Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo provided guarantees for the loan. SkyPeople China also pledged 37 pieces of equipment and the related trademarks to Ningxia Bank for the loan. SkyPeople China has not repaid the loan and Ningxia Bank filed an enforcement action with Xi'an Intermediate people's court in August 2017. The Court has frozen the assets of SkyPeople China that were pledged as guarantee for the loan from being transferred to any third-party, but the freeze does not limit or affect the use of these properties by SkyPeople China for its business. In July 2018, Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo filed a petition to the Court and requested the termination of the enforcement action on the basis that its guarantee of the loan was not valid because the seal used on the guarantee agreement was not authentic and the guarantee was not approved by the shareholders of Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo. On November 27, 2018 Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo withdrew its petition and the Court agreed to such withdrawal and there has been no other progress of this case. As of December 31, 2019, SkyPeople China still owe the unpaid amount. SkyPeople China was one of the subsidiaries transferred along with HeDengTang HK to New Continent International Co., Ltd. on February 27, 2020. Legal case with China Construction Bank On December 23, 2015, SkyPeople China entered into two loan agreements with China Construction Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreements, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 13.90 million (approximately $2.13 million), and RMB 30 million (approximately $4.59 million) from China Construction Bank, respectively. Shaanxi Boai Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. ("Boai"), Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue, Xiujun Wang and Yingkou Trusty Fruits Co., Ltd. ("Yingkou") provided pledges for the loans. SkyPeople China has not repaid the loans and China Construction Bank filed an enforcement action with Xi'an Intermediate People's Court in March 2017. In December 2017, SkyPeople China received the enforcement notice from the Court. The Court has seized certain parking space and land use rights pledged by Xiujun Wang and Boai and sold the land use right pledged by Boai in auction for approximately RMB 24,835,790 as repayment to China Construction Bank. The Court also seized certain land use rights pledged by Yingkou Trusty Fruits Co., Ltd., but the auction sale for those rights was not successful. As of December 31, 2019, SkyPeople China still owe the unpaid amount. SkyPeople China was one of the subsidiaries transferred along with HeDengTang HK to New Continent International Co., Ltd. on February 27, 2020. On May 9, 2016, SkyPeople China entered into loan agreements with China Construction Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreements, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 22.9 million (approximately $3.50 million) from China Construction Bank. Shaanxi Province Credit Reassurance Company ("Credit Reassurance Company") provided a guarantee to China Construction Bank for the loan, Hongke Xue and Yongke Xue provided their guarantees, and SkyPeople China provided an office space that it owned to Credit Reassurance Company as a pledge. SkyPeople China has not repaid the loan and Credit Reassurance Company repaid the loan for SkyPeople China. In June 2017, Credit Reassurance filed an enforcement action request with Xi'an Intermediate People's Court (the "Court") in June 2017. In December 2017, SkyPeople China received the enforcement notice from the Court. The Court issued a verdict to seize the office space of SkyPeople China for auction sale on December 26, 2017. In February 2018, the auction sale was conducted but not successful. In June 2018, the Court decided to use the pledge property as the repayment for the outstanding loan of RMB 12.21 million (approximately $1.78 million). The Company has transferred the ownership of the pledge property to China Construction Bank and the assets were wrote off. Legal case with China Cinda Asset Management Co., Ltd In April 2015, China Cinda Asset Management Co., Ltd. Shaanxi Branch ("Cinda Shaanxi Branch") filed two enforcement proceedings with Xi'an Intermediate People's Court (the "Court") against SkyPeople China for alleged defaults pursuant to guarantees by the SkyPeople China to its suppliers for a total amount of RMB 39.60 million or approximately $5.80 million. In September 2014, two long term suppliers of pear, mulberry, and kiwi fruits to the SkyPeople China requested that the Company provide guarantees for their loans with Cinda Shaanxi Branch. Considering the long term business relationship and to ensure the timely supply of raw materials, the SkyPeople China agreed to provide guarantees on the value of the raw materials supplied to the SkyPeople China. Because Cinda Shaanxi Branch is not a bank authorized to provide loans, it eventually provided financing to the two suppliers through the purchase of accounts receivables of the two suppliers with the SkyPeople China. In July 2014, the parties entered into two agreements – an Accounts Receivables Purchase and Debt Restructure Agreement, and Guarantee Agreements for Accounts Receivables Purchase and Debt Restructure. Pursuant to the agreements, Cinda Shaanxi Branch agreed to provide a RMB 100 million credit line on a rolling basis to the two suppliers and the Company agreed to pay its accounts payables to the two suppliers directly to Cinda Shaanxi Branch and provided guarantees for the two suppliers. In April 2015, Cinda Shaanxi Branch stopped providing financing to the two suppliers and the two suppliers were unable to continue the supply of raw materials to the SkyPeople China. Consequently, the SkyPeople China stopped making any payment to Cinda Shaanxi Branch. The SkyPeople China has responded to the Court and taken the position that the financings under the agreements are essentially the loans from Cinda Shaanxi Branch to the two suppliers, and because Cinda Shaanxi Branch does not have permits to make loans in China, the agreements are invalid, void and had no legal effect from the beginning. Therefore, SkyPeople China has no obligation to repay the debts owed by the two suppliers to Cinda Shaanxi Branch. Upon the Court's suggestion, the parties agreed to a settlement discussion in April 2017. As a part of the settlement discussion, on April 18, 2017, SkyPeople China withdrew its non-enforcement request from the Court without prejudice. As SkyPeople China may is liable for this loan, SkyPeople China recorded expenses of $5.80 million in the third quarter of 2018 as the result of these two enforcement proceedings. As of December 31, 2019, SkyPeople China still have liability of $5.80 million related with these two enforcement proceedings. SkyPeople China was one of the subsidiaries transferred along with HeDengTang HK to New Continent International Co., Ltd. on February 27, 2020. Legal case with Cinda Capital Financing Co. Ltd In August 2017, Cinda Capital Financing Co. Ltd. ("Cinda") filed a lawsuit with Beijing 2nd Intermediate People's Court (the "Beijing Intermediate Court") against the Company's indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries Shaanxi Guoweimei Kiwi Deep Processing Company, Ltd. ("Guoweimei") and Hedetang Farm Products Trading Market (Mei County) Co., Ltd. ("Trading Market Mei County Co", and together with Guoweimei, "Lessees") requested that Lessees repay RMB 50 million (approximately $7.27 million) in capital lease fees, plus interest. Cinda has purchased or paid for refrigerant warehouse and trading hall to the suppliers and vendors and agreed to lease them to the Lessees for a leasing fee of RMB 50 million in December 2016. The capital leasing fee became due on its maturity date of June 2017, with certain land use rights of Lessees in Mei County and equity of Guoweimei as a pledge. The Company has disputed that the land use rights for the refrigerant warehouse and trading hall were never sold to or transferred to Cinda, therefore it is loan agreement and not capital lease agreement among the parties. Lessees have taken the position that Cinda is not a bank and does not have government permits required to make loans in China, and the agreements including pledge agreement were invalid, void and without legal effect from the beginning. Therefore, the lessees only has the obligations to repay principal but not the interest. In November 2017, Beijing Intermediate Court ruled in favor of Cinda and the Lessees appealed the case to the Beijing Supreme Court. The Beijing Supreme Court held a hearing at the end of July 2018. On December 4, 2018, the Beijing Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision. On April 8, 2019, Beijing Intermediate Court issued the verdict for enforcement of the judgment and the plaintiff has the priority rights for the repayment for the pledged land use rights of Lessees in Mei County and equity of Guoweimei. The case is under enforcement procedure and Cinda is in the process of sale the land use rights. Before the land use right is sold, the subsidiaries of SkyPeople China still owns the seized properties and the liabilities to Cinda. As of December 31, 2019, SkyPeople China has not repaid the amount. SkyPeople China was one of the subsidiaries transferred along with HeDengTang HK to New Continent International Co., Ltd. on February 27, 2020. In August 2017, Cinda filed another lawsuit with Beijing Intermediate Court against the Company's indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries Guoweimei and SkyPeople China for repayment of leasing fee of RMB 84.97 million (approximately $12.35 million) plus interest. In January 2014, Guoweimei and SkyPeople China (the "Equipment Lessees") signed an Equipment Financial Lease Purchase Agreement with Cinda and an equipment supplier pursuant to which Cinda would provide funds to purchase equipment and the Equipment Lessees would lease the equipment from Cinda. Guoweimei pledged certain land use rights in Mei County to Cinda and Xi'an Hedetang and Hedetang Holding pledged their equities in Guoweimei to Cinda to secure the repayment. Mr. Hongke Xue also provided a personal guarantee for the payment of the leasing fee. Beijing Intermediate Court had two hearings of the case and on March 21, 2018 it ruled in favor of Cinda to the effect that SkyPeople China and Guoweimei shall pay leasing fees due in the amount of RMB 21.00 million (approximately $3.05 million), as well as leasing fees not yet due in the amount of RMB 63.98 million (approximately $9.30 million), plus attorney's fees and expenses. Beijing Intermediate Court also ruled that Mr. Hongke Xue is jointly liable for the debt as the guarantor, and that Cinda has priority rights to the pledged land use rights in Mei County and the pledged equities of Guoweimei as well as the ownership of the leasing properties until the leasing fees are paid. SkyPeople China appealed the decision to the Beijing Supreme Court. The Beijing Supreme Court rejected the appeal and upheld the original verdict on September 7, 2018. The case is under enforcement procedure and Cinda is in the process of sale the seized properties. Before they are sold, the subsidiaries of SkyPeople China still owns the seized properties and the liabilities to Cinda. As of December 31, 2019, SkyPeople China has not repaid the amount.

SkyPeople China has not repaid the loan and Fangtian filed a lawsuit with Xi'an Yanta District People's Court ("Yanta District Court"). On August 10, 2017, Yanta District Court ruled against SkyPeople China and determined that SkyPeople China must repay the loan of RMB 3.50 million plus interest RMB of 0.40 million (approximately $0.59 million) Fangtian has requested that the Yanta District Court enter into enforcement procedures for the case.

Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo appealed the decision to the Xi'an Intermediate People's Court on the basis that: (x) the land use right was a capital contribution by Xi'an Shanmei for a shareholder of Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo who is also the sole shareholder of Xi'an Shanmei and the Land Lease Agreement was invalid and has no legal effect; (y) Zhouzhi Court did not schedule the hearing for the count claims filed by Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo; and (z) Zhouzhi Court violated certain civil procedures during the trial of the case.
