17. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

 

On July 15, 2013, Xi'an TCH and HYREF Fund jointly established Xi'an Zhonghong New Energy Technology ("Zhonghong") with registered capital of RMB 30 million ($4.88 million), to manage new projects. Xi'an TCH paid RMB 27 million ($4.37 million) as its contribution of the registered capital to Zhonghong. Xi'an TCH owns 90% of Zhonghong while HYREF Fund owns 10% of Zhonghong as a non-controlling interest of Zhonghong.

 

In addition, the HYREF Fund was 16.3% owned by Xi'an TCH and 1.1% owned by the Fund Management Company, and the Fund Management Company was 40% owned by Xi'an TCH as described in Note 7, which resulted in an additional indirect ownership of Xi'an TCH in Zhonghong of 1.7%; accordingly, the ultimate non-controlling interest (HYREF Fund) in Zhonghong became 8.3%. During the years ended December 31, 2018, the Company had losses of $3,203,657 and $327,147 that were attributable to the noncontrolling interest, respectively.

 

On December 29, 2018, Shanghai TCH entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with HYREF, pursuant to which HYREF agreed to transfer its 10% ownership in Xi'an Zhonghong to Shanghai TCH for RMB 3 million ($437,956). On January 22, 2019, HYREF completed the transfer of its 10% ownership in Xi'an Zhonghong to Shanghai TCH. The Company had approximately $3.98 million loss from the purchase of a 10% equity interest in Xi'an Zhonghong.
