Litigation, description                 the Court sold the real estate property pledged by Xiujun Wang at RMB 1.17 million (approximately $0.17 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 the Beijing Bank as the repayment. The Court has also made inquiries to the 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 (approximately $4.06 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.   Beijing Intermediate Court had two hearings of the case and on March 21, 2018, and 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.

Line of credit, description                                 two long term suppliers of pear, mulberry, and kiwi fruits to SkyPeople China requested that SkyPeople China provide guarantees for their loans with Cinda Shaanxi Branch. Considering the long term business relationship and to ensure the timely supply of raw materials, SkyPeople China agreed to provide guarantees on the value of the raw materials supplied to 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 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 SkyPeople China 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 SkyPeople China. Consequently, SkyPeople China stopped making any payment to Cinda Shaanxi Branch.

Litigation, description                       the Suizhong Branch of Huludao Banking Co., Ltd. (“Suizhong Branch”) filed a lawsuit with Huludao Intermediate People’s Court (the “Huludao Court”) against the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary Huludao Wonder Fruit Co., Ltd. (“Wonder Fruit”) and requested that Wonder Fruit repay a RMB 40 million (approximately $5.81 million) bank loan, plus interest. The loan became due on its maturity date of December 9, 2016. On December 19, 2016, the Huludao Court accepted the case. The Company has been disputing the interest rate of the loan with Suizhong Branch, and has not repaid the loan to date. Wonder Fruit believes that the interest charged by Suizhong Branch is 100% higher than the base rate set by People’s Bank of China and is not consistent with the China People’s Bank’s base interest and floating rate. The Huludao Court has seized land use rights, buildings and equipment of Wonder Fruit that were pledged as guarantee for the loan and has organized two auction sales for these assets in January and February of 2018, but both auction sales have been unsuccessful in finding a buyer. On July 19, 2018, the Court issued a verdict ordering Huludao Wonder to transfer its land use rights, building, equipment, electronic and transportation assets to Zuizhong Branch as payment of the outstanding principal, auction and evaluation fees and some interest of the loan for RMB 42.64 million (approximately $6.22 million). As of June 30, 2020, there was RMB 11.95 million (approximately $1.74 million) in interest on the loan unpaid. Huludao Wonder was one of the subsidiaries transferred along with HeDengTang HK to New Continent International Co., Ltd. on February 27, 2020. The creditors have no recourse to the current Company. Legal case with Andrew Chien In September 2017, Andrew Chien, a former consultant of SkyPeople China, brought a lawsuit against the Company and Mr. Hongke Xue in the District Court of Connecticut (the “Court”). The complaint was not properly served and the Company learned of the litigation in December 2017. In the complaint, Mr. Chien has made several claims, most of which attempt to hold the Company liable under novel legal theories that relate back to an alleged breach of a consulting agreement between SkyPeople China and Chien from August 2006. Mr. Chien claimed approximately $257,000 damages and interest plus 2.00% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares. Mr. Chien has unsuccessfully attempted to sue the Company on the breach of the same consulting agreement several times in the courts of Connecticut and New York, and these cases have been dismissed. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss (“MTD”) and all proceedings are stayed pending determination of the MTD. On August 31, 2018, the Court granted our MTD. On September 10, 2018, Mr. Chien filed a motion for reconsideration. On September 28, 2018, the Court denied Mr. Chien’s motion for reconsideration. On October 26, 2018, Mr. Chien appealed the case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of the action on January 22, 2020, and denied Mr. Chien’s petition for en banc rehearing on March 27, 2020. Mr. Chien’s time to pursue a discretionary appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States has lapsed and the case is closed. Legal case with Luwei In 2018, Mr. Luwei, an individual, filed a claim for arbitration against SkyPeople China in Xi’an Arbitration Commission for breach of contract pursuant to a new share purchase agreement and a share redemption agreement. On April 11, 2019, Xi’an Arbitration Commission made its decision and ordered SkyPeople China to repay RMB 3 million investment to Luwei. Mr. Luwei applied with Intermediate Court of Xi’an (the “Court”) for enforcement of the arbitration award which process was terminated by the Court due to no assets for enforcement. As of June 30, 2020, 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. The creditors have no recourse to the current Company. Legal case with Shaanxi Overseas Investment Development Corp. In November 2019, Shaanxi Overseas Investment Development Corp (“Shaanxi Overseas Investment”) filed a lawsuit against SkyPeople China, Hongke Xue and Shenzhen Tian Shun Da Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Tian Shun Da”) pursuant to an investment agreement entered in March 2016. According to the agreement, Shaanxi Overseas Investment agreed to invest RMB 5 million for the preferred shares of SkyPeople China with an annual interest rate of 2.38%. Shenzhen Tian Shun Da pledged 1.17% of the shares SkyPeople China that it owned and Hongke Xue provided guarantee for the performance of agreement by SkyPeople China. SkyPeople China failed to make the interests payment and Shaanxi Overseas Investment filed the lawsuit for breach of agreement. On December 26, 2019, Yanta District Court of Xi’an City (the “Court”) ordered SkyPeople China to pay Shaanxi Overseas Investment the preferred share redemption amount of RMB 5 million plus penalty which is calculated based upon the RMB 5 million at a rate of 24% a year. The Court also ruled that Shaanxi Overseas Investment may sell the pledged shares owned by Shenzhen Tianshun Da as the repayment for SkyPeople China and Hongkong Xue shall also assume the repayment obligation as guarantor. As of June 30, 2020, 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. The creditors have no recourse to the current Company. Legal case with Shaanxi Wanyuan Construction Co., Ltd. In July 2019, Shaanxi Wanyuan Construction Co., Ltd. (“Wanyuan) filed a lawsuit with Shaanxi Baoji Municipal Intermediate People’s Court (the “Baoji Court”) against Guoweimei for repayment of construction and decoration costs of RMB 55.07 million pursuant to a Construction and Decoration Agreement entered by the parties in May 2017.
