Management Discussion and Analysis
Sales Sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $4,276,255, compared to the sales of $16,838,764 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $ 12,562,509 or approximately 74.6% for the year ended December 31, 2014. The primary reasons for the decrease in sales is that the Company engaged in purchase and sale transactions during 2013 that had features of high turnover and low margin, with increased sales as a result. The Company did not pursue that kind of transaction during 2014, which has resulted in reduced sales but improved margins.
Net income/loss We recorded net loss of $4,037,269 and $2,518,130 for the years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was the result of netting our loss from continuing operations against the gain of $613,218 that we realized on the sale of our discontinued operation.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Results of Operations Sales Sales for the years ended December 31, 2013 were $16,838,764, compared to the sales of $4,082,303 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $ 12,756,461 or approximately 312.5% for the year. The primary reasons for the increase in sales were: ·Sales orders increased due to more incentives for sales people as a result of the reform enforced in the purchase department and sales department since last year.
·The special trading business we started this April has the features of high turnover , although it yields a low profit margin.
·Compared to 2013, the market in 2012 was rather depressed.
Net income/loss We recorded net loss of $2,518,130 and $5,227,750 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was the result of netting our loss from continuing operations against the gain of $613,218 that we realized on the sale of our discontinued operation. The decrease in net loss during December 31, 2013 was mainly because of the significant improvement in revenue and gross profit, resulted in a reduction of $2,709,620 in our net loss.

Liquidity Requirements
We have accumulated significant net losses from our inception through December 31, 2010 and we may be unable to generate significant revenue or any net income in the future. We cannot predict when, or if, we will become profitable in the future. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it. We have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity and debt securities to investors and may not be able to generate a positive cash flow in the future.
