Through our wholly owned subsidiary,Sincerity Australia Pty Ltd. ("SAPL"), we primarily operate as a distributor and reseller of applied materials, particularly plastics, with an extensive network inChina of high quality suppliers for a wide range of both basic and high application polymer products ranging from generic construction materials to high end breathable stretch film and antibacterial sheeting. SAPL is based inMelbourne, Australia and distributes to a number of larger resellers and end users, includingVisy Industries (trading as Pratt Group America in theUSA ), one of the world's largest packaging and recycling groups. SAPL's business was commenced in 2009 byJames Zhang , our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the son of the founder of (i)Changzhou Sincerity Plastics and Chemicals Technology Ltd. ("Sincerity China"), a well-established plastics and applied materials manufacturer with a 20-year operating history, based inChangzhou, China , and (ii)Shanghai Sincerity Co. Ltd. , aShanghai, China based company through which most of the products we purchase from Sincerity China are sourced and sold to us. SAPL originally commenced operations by supplying basic extruded plastic components (moldings, auto interior components, kitchen splash backs etc.) to the Australian auto, retail and construction industries. In 2015, SAPL began importing specialty high quality plastic trays and film for use in fresh food packaging and distribution. The first major customer for this business was thePropac Group , leading supplier of plastic packaging materials to Coles, one ofAustralia's 2 dominant supermarket chains. Over the past 3 years, SAPL has refocused its marketing efforts towards larger resellers and distributors inAustralia , allowing SAPL to build strong relationships with key industry players who acquire its products for their own distribution and reseller networks. Research and investment in addressing the key fresh food issue of plastic film "breathability" has created a unique technology platform whereby air circulation in packaged foods can be adjusted according to the type of food. This has the effect of prolonging shelf life, key to building relationship metrics within the food retailing industry. SAPL recently started to supplyVisy Industries , with high technology, breathable plastic film for use inVisy Industries' packaging supply contract with the other dominant player inAustralia's supermarket industry.
Presently all of SAPL's revenue is derived from sales within the Australian market, however, due to the strong international presence of SAPL's major customers such as Visy, particularly in the US, combined with the technology metrics of SAPL's product range (breathable stretch film and antibacterial polymer products), it is expected that SAPL's products will be increasingly utilized in global markets.
SAPL will continue with the process of further vertical integration of its product range. Value adding packaging technology, such as breathable film, and ventilated stretch film, is expected to provide an innovative edge over our competition. Rapid growth in demand from fresh fruit and vegetable packaging is already reflected through increasing sales toVisy Industries and will also allow SAPL to transition these new products to the global market. SAPL supplies Australian market with a well-diversified product range, while commodity type provides a strong foundation of business grow, the value adding innovations on each product will bring SAPL to the next level and expand for beyondAustralia . 17
SAPL is fast growing, it is running at loss as a public company and needs more working capital for stronger growth.
SAPL's flag ship range in ventilated packaging are in the final stage of commercial production, and it is expected to disrupt the fresh produce packaging market with strong performance and competitive price.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. Key Estimates (i) Useful lives
The Company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortization charges for its property and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortization charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. (ii) Income tax The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Key Judgments
(i) Provision for impairment of receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgment. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors' financial position.
(ii) Impairment
The Company assessed that no indicators of impairment existed at the reporting date and as such no impairment testing was performed.
