PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Corporate History
Studio II Brands, INC. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 6, 1996. The Company was formed as a blank check or shell company for the purpose of seeking, investigating, and, if warranted, acquiring one or more properties or businesses. From inception to February 10, 2011, the Company remained in the development stage. The Companys only activities during this period were organizational activities, compliance with SEC reporting obligations, and seeking a suitable business acquisition.
On February 10 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hippo Lace Limited, a BVI corporation (HLL), which was incorporated in December, 2009. As a result of completion of this share exchange transaction, HLL became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Also, as more fully described below, HLLs subsidiary, Legend Sun Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (Legend Sun), which HLL acquired in February, 2010, became our operating subsidiary.
The Company completed the share exchange transaction with HLL in order to acquire the business operations carried on through its subsidiary, Legend Sun, and with the intent of focusing our business activity exclusively on those operations.
On March 29 2012, the Company acquired through its subsidiary all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sino Wish Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (Sino Wish), which was incorporated in November, 2009 and became the franchisee of the Company to operate Caffé Kenon restaurant at Tai Yau Plaza, Hong Kong since March, 2010. As a result of completion of this share exchange transaction, Sino Wish became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Corporate Structure
The Chart below depicts the Companys corporate structure as of March 31, 2012 following its acquisition of the shares of Sino Wish on March 29, 2012. As depicted below, Studio II Brands owns 100% of HLL and HLL owns 100% of Legend Sun and Sino Wish.

Current Operations
Through the Companys operating subsidiaries, Legend Sun and Sino Wish, the Company is in the business of operating coffee shop restaurants under the tradename Caffe Kenon. The Company currently owns and operates two Caffé Kenon coffee shops located in Hong Kong which have been in operation since June, 2009 and March, 2010 respectively. These shops are operated under the terms of a franchise agreement between HLL and Sizegenic Holdings Limited (Sizegenic), a British Virgin Islands corporation. On May 31, 2011, HLL terminated the subfranchise agreement for the restaurant in Beijing, PRC. Accordingly, the location is no longer operated as a Caffe Kenon restaurant. Subsequent to the share exchange transaction with shareholder of Sino Wish on March 29, 2012, on April 1, 2012, HLL terminated the subfranchise agreement for the restaurant at Tai Yau Plaza, Hong Kong.
Sizegenic entered into an International Exclusive Distribution and Promotion Agreement (the Café Centro Agreement) with Café Centro Brazil Wurzburger Vittorio &C. S.a.s., an Italian corporation (Café Centro) on June 26, 2009, pursuant to which Sizegenic has the exclusive right to distribute and sell coffee products supplied by Café Centro and the exclusive license to use the brand name and trademark Caffe Kenon in business operations for a period of ten (10) years within the region consisting of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and China. On February 10, 2010 and April 1, 2012, Sizegenic entered into franchise agreements with HLL pursuant to which HLL was granted the right to operate a Caffe Kenon restaurant at 38 Yiu Wa Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong and shop no. 208 and 209 of the 2nd floor of the Tai Yau Plaza shopping center in Wanchai, Hong Kong, respectively.
At the two restaurants they offer Italian-style espresso drinks using Kenon brand coffee imported from Italy. They also serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a moderately-priced Italian style standard menu which includes pizza, spaghetti, risotto, salads, sandwiches and desserts. In addition, Caffé Kenon Bistro serves periodic specialty meals in addition to the standard menu items. The Company seeks to establish restaurant locations in shopping and commercial areas with significant foot traffic and with easy access to underground railroad or other public transportation. Our restaurants are designed comfortably with seating areas for customers around a counter area which includes display cases for pastries and other items and a work area where staff prepare espresso drinks. The Company uses a modern stylish design for the interior with a flexible combination of tables and chairs designed to allow us to host various types of events and to accommodate a total of approximately 50 and 80 guests, respectively.
Future Plan of Operations
The Companys future plan of operations is to seek to continue to expand by adding additional Café Kenon locations in Hong Kong and in China. Some of the new locations may be Company owned and operated as franchises of Sizegenic, and some may be subfranchise operations from which the Company receives franchise and management fees. The Company also plans to search possible investment and business opportunities in different potential restaurant and catering service business segments including hotpot and traditional Chinese cuisine restaurants, and possible investment and business opportunities related to ownership and operation of a coffee farm and production of our own brand of packed coffee beans and canned coffee to be sold to wholesale and retail customers. The Company will require additional working capital in order to open new Company owned Café Kenon locations or to pursue other potential investment and business opportunities, and there is no assurance that such additional working capital funding will be available, or will be available on terms which are acceptable to the Company.

The Company currently maintains a mailing address at 16/F Honest Motors Building 9-11 Leighton Road Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, which is provided to us without charge pursuant to a verbal agreement with our President, Cheung Ming.

Competition
The retail food industry, in which the Company competes, is made up of supermarkets, convenience stores, coffee shops, snack bars, delicatessens and restaurants, and is intensely competitive with respect to food quality, price, service, convenience, location and concept. The industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes; regional or local economic conditions; currency fluctuations; demographic trends; traffic patterns; the type, number and location of competing food retailers and products; and disposable purchasing power. In Hong Kong where the Company currently operates one restaurant and have one franchised location it competes with a large number of coffee shops which primarily sell coffee drinks and have only a limited selection of food. These include large international franchise operations such as Starbucks, and many small shops which have only a single location or a limited number of locations. In addition, because of the fact that it also has a full menu and offer moderately-priced meals , it also competes with numerous cafés and coffee shops which are primarily restaurants and may or may not offer espresso style coffee drinks. Therefore, at the present time, our primary competitors vary in each location, and consist of other moderately-priced restaurants, cafés and specialty coffee shops located in the same area.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF
STUDIO II BRANDS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Studio II Brands, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2012, and for the period from February 10, 2011 to March 31, 2011 (Successor) and for the period from April 1, 2010 to February 9, 2011 (Predecessor). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Studio II Brands, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2012 and for the period from February 10, 2011 to March 31, 2011 (Successor) and for the period from April 1, 2010 to February 9, 2011 (Predecessor), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Companys minimal revenues and its dependency from continued funding from its stockholder raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENTSS PLANS
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, they do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Companys minimal revenues, its dependency from continued funding from its stockholders raise substantial double about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's business plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
(e)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Improvements to leased assets or fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease period, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense is recorded over the assets estimated useful lives or lease period, using the straight line method, at the following annual rates:-
Furniture and equipment: 10% - 20%, per annum
Computer equipment: 10%, per annum
Leasehold improvements: over the lease term
(f)
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods which include food and beverage materials and products for catering service. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition and is assigned by using a first-in first-out basis. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to managements estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.
(g)
Accounts receivables
Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts. During the period, there were no bad debts incurred and no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded at March 31, 2012. The Companys management has established an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover probable and reasonably estimable losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers a number of factors, including collection experience, current economic trends, estimates of forecasted write-offs, aging of the accounts receivable portfolios, industry norms, regulatory decisions and other factors. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes any historical bad debts, customer concentrations, and customer credit worthiness. Managements policy is to record reserve primarily on a specific identification basis. Accounts are written off after use of a collection agency is deemed to be no longer useful.
(h)
Security deposits
Security deposits mainly consist of five months rental and management fee security deposits, electricity and water meter deposits for company owned restaurant.
(i)
Cash
Cash consist of cash on hand and at banks. The Company's cash deposits are held with financial institutions located in United States and Hong Kong. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality.
F9
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
(j)
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)-350-30-50 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets requires the testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter each year. Goodwill impairment is computed using the expected present value of associated future cash flows. There was no impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2012 and 2011.
We reviewed goodwill for potential impairment as of March 31st of each year or more frequently if events or circumstances occurred that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
(k)
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are comprised of property and equipment. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC360-10, Property, plant and equipment, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable by comparing the undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets to their carrying amounts. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value.
Based on the Companys assessment, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate any impairment of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2012 and 2011.
(l)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following:
|

Fair value measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
F10
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, short-term borrowings from and lending to related party, and payable to stockholder approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
There was no asset or liability measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and 2011.
(n)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted ASC 740 which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
(o)
Other comprehensive income
The Company has adopted ASC 220 Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
F11
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
(p)
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold or services provided. Revenue is recognized when all the following criteria are met:
(i)
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
(ii)
Services had been rendered.
(iii)
The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
(iv)
Collectivity is reasonably assured.
Revenue from sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. Franchise fee income on the annual fee for sublicensing of the brand name and trademark Caffe Kenon and the 10% management fee on eligible monthly net income of subfranchiee are recognized after granting the non-exclusive rights and all contractual obligations are performed and report of net income from subfranchisee respectively.
(q)
Employee benefits
The Company operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "MPF Scheme") under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF Scheme is a defined contribution scheme, the assets of which are held in separate trustee-administered funds. The Company's contributions to the scheme are expensed as incurred and are vested in accordance with the scheme' vesting scales.
(r)
Segment information
The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Companys chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Companys operating segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue and operating results of Legend Sun, the operating subsidiary in Hong Kong. As such, management has determined that Legend Sun is the Companys only operating segment. As the Companys operations and customers are principally all located in Hong Kong, no geographic information has been presented.
(s)
Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and environmental claims arising out of the normal course of businesses that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, contracts breach liability. The Company records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter.
As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company's management has evaluated all such proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04
In May, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.
The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and the ASU does not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which is an update to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This update eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity, requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income and requires reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income to be shown on the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
All other requirements in Update 2011-05 are not affected by this Update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, (ASU 2011-08), which amends current guidance to allow a company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The amendment also improves previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-08 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
F13
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11
In December 2011, the FASB issued the FASB ASU No. 2011-11 Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). This Update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS.
The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12
In December 2011, the FASB issued the FASB ASU No. 2011-12 Comprehensive Income: Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). This Update is a deferral of the effective date pertaining to reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05. FASB is to going to reassess the costs and benefits of those provisions in ASU 2011-05 related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Due to the time required to properly make such a reassessment and to evaluate alternative presentation formats, the FASB decided that it is necessary to reinstate the requirements for the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income that were in place before the issuance of Update 2011-05.
Except for the above, there is no recently issued accounting pronouncement adopted by the Company. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hippo Lace Limited and subsidiary (the Company) as of February 9, 2011 and March 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for the periods from April 1, 2010 to February 9, 2011 and from February 24, 2010 to March 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hippo Lace Limited and subsidiary as of February 9, 2011 and March 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods from April 1, 2010 to February 9, 2011 and from February 24, 2010 to March 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Hippo Lace Limited (the Company) was incorporated on December 11, 2009 in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) with a maximum authorized share capital of 50,000 ordinary shares. On January 12, 2010, a share was issued for $1 to Mr. Gu Yao, who is the sole shareholder of the Company. The Company principally acts as an investing holding company.
In February 2010, the Company entered into and consummated an agreement with Sizegenic Holdings Limited, a BVI corporation, to acquire 100% interests of its wholly owned subsidiary, Legend Sun Limited (Legend Sun). The consideration of $182,982, pursuant to the supplementary agreement, , was paid in full on February 17, 2010 (i) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Legend Sun owned by Sizegenic, and (ii) to pay off the outstanding shareholder loan owed to Sizegenic by Legend Sun, and the share transfer was completed on February 24, 2010. Legend Sun is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong and its principal activity is to provide catering services in Hong Kong.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companys functional currency is the Hong Kong Dollar, however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars.
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
The balance sheet as of February, 9, 2011 includes the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Legend Sun. Additionally, the results of operations and cash flows includes the operations for the period from April 1, 2010 to February 9, 2011 of Legend Sun. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
(c)
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Companys significant estimates include the reserves related to receivables, the recoverability and useful lives of long lived assets and realizable values for inventories.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
(d)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Improvements to leased assets or fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease period, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense is recorded over the assets estimated useful lives or lease period, using the straight line method, at the following annual rates:-
Furniture and equipment: 10% - 20%, per annum
Computer equipment: 10%, per annum
Leasehold improvement: over the lease term
(e)
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods which include food and beverage materials and products for catering service. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition and is assigned by using a first-in first-out basis. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to managements estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.
(f)
Accounts receivables
Accounts receivable are shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts. During the period, there were no bad debts incurred and no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded at February 9, 2011. The Companys management has established an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover probable and reasonably estimable losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers a number of factors, including collection experience, current economic trends, estimates of forecasted write-offs, aging of the accounts receivable portfolios, industry norms, regulatory decisions and other factors. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes any historical bad debts, customer concentrations, and customer credit worthiness. Managements policy is to record reserve primarily on a specific identification basis. Accounts are written off after use of a collection agency is deemed to be no longer useful. The accounts receivable balance at February 9, 2011 represents the first year subfranchise annual fee from Sino Wish, the subfranchisee located in Hong Kong commenced in April 2010.
(g)
Other receivable
Other receivables mainly represent the coffee machine purchased on behalf of Sino Wish.

Cash
Cash consist of cash on hand and at banks. Substantially all of the Company's cash deposits are held with financial institutions located in Hong Kong. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality.
(i)
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)-350-30-50 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets requires the testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter each year. Goodwill impairment is computed using the expected present value of associated future cash flows. There was no impairment of goodwill as of February 9, 2011 and March 31, 2010.
(j)
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are comprised of property and equipment. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC360-10, Property, plant and equipment, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable by comparing the undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets to their carrying amounts. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value.
Based on the Companys assessment, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate any impairment of long-lived assets as of February 9, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

Fair value measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Fair value measurements ( /Contd)
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The carrying values of cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, short-term borrowings from and lending to related party, and stockholders loan approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
There was no asset or liability measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of February 9, 2011 and March 31, 2010.
(m)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
FF10
HIPPO LACE LIMITED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM APRIL 1, 2010 TO FEBRUARY 9, 2011
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted ASC 740 which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
(n)
Other comprehensive income
The Company has adopted ASC 220 Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
(o)
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold or services provided. Revenue is recognized when all the following criteria are met:
(i)
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
(ii)
Services had been rendered.
(iii)
The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
(iv)
Collectivity is reasonably assured.
Revenue from sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. Franchise fee income on the annual fee for sublicensing of the brand name and trademark Caffe Kenon and the 10% management fee on eligible monthly net income of subfranchisee are recognized after granting the non-exclusive rights and all contractual obligation are performed and report of net income from subfranchisee respectively. The franchise fee income of $22,266 recognized for the period from April 1, 2010 to February 9, 2011 represents;
| 1st annual subfranchise fee (HK$80,000) from Sino Wish Limited | $ 10,272 |
| 1st annual subfranchise fee (RMB80,000) from Beijing Kenon Catering Ltd. | 11,880 |

(p)
Employee benefits
The Company operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "MPF Scheme") under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF Scheme is a defined contribution scheme, the assets of which are held in separate trustee-administered funds. The Company's contributions to the scheme are expensed as incurred and are vested in accordance with the scheme' vesting scales.
(q)
Segment information
The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Companys chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Companys operating segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue and operating results of Legend Sun, the operating subsidiary in Hong Kong. As such, management has determined that Companys franchise operations in Hong Kong and Beijing are two operating segments and geographic information has been presented.
(r)
Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and environmental claims arising out of the normal course of businesses that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, contracts breach liability. The Company records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter.
As of February 9, 2011 and March 31, 2010, the Company's management has evaluated all such proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
(s)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 820 on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The guidance now requires a reporting entity to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. As this standard relates specifically to disclosures, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term disclosure controls and procedures to mean the company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuers management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have identified a material weakness in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31 2012 and have thus concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives. A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The identified material weakness and control deficiency primarily related to absence of a Chief Financial Officer with appropriate professional experience with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations.
We believe that the material weakness and other control deficiencies we have identified are temporary because
our management intends to hire a consultant with experience in U.S. GAAP accounting and SEC rules and regulations, but based on the current size and cashflow of the company, we are not able to do so. Our management intends to conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure control and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting in the coming months if we acquire another operating business or assets, and re-consider the need for hiring a consultant.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The management of the Company also is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A company's internal
22
control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, over time control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of the President and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012 based upon the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, and due to the identified material weakness and internal control deficiency as discussed above, our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
There were changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The changes were; (i) the restatement of the financial statements in Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2.1 to the Form 8K Amendment no. 2 filed on August 8, 2011 to respond to SEC letter of comment issued on June 17, 2011 regarding principal of consolidation from the date of acquisition of Legend Sun by Hippo Lace on February 24, 2010 and comment 40 regarding the inclusion of financial statements of Legend Sun (predecessor to Hippo Lace) for April 1, 2009 through February 23, 2010 and Hippo Lace (successor) for the period from February 24, 2010 through March 31, 2010 in bifurcated format in the Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011. The result of such restatement indicates immaterial understated net income and goodwill of $459, respectively; (ii) the restatement of the financial statements in Exhibit 99.1, 99.2.1 to the Form 8K Amendment no. 5 filed on December 13, 2011 and 99.5.1 to the Form 8K Amendment no. 4 filed on December 12, 2011 to respond to SEC letter of comment issued on February 1, 2012 regarding comment to the valuation of goodwill in the purchase price allocation for Legend Sun acquired by Hippo Lace in February, 2010. The result of such restatement indicates understated additional paid-in capital and goodwill of $86,198 respectively;

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Certain conflicts of interest exist and will continue to exist between the Company and its officers and directors due to the fact that they have other employment or business interests to which they devote substantial attention. Ultimately, our shareholders must rely on the fiduciary responsibility owed to them by the Companys officers and directors.
The Companys subsidiary, HLL has an outstanding shareholder loan in the amount of $184,226, and $184,226, as of March 31, 2012, and March 31, 2011, respectively. Prior to February 10, 2011, the loan was from Gu Yao who is the holder of 2,291,100 shares, or approximately 15.44%, of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock. The stockholders loan mainly represents amount advanced to HLL by Gu Yao for the purpose of acquiring Legend Sun as the wholly owned subsidiary, on February 24, 2010. This loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on December 11, 2011. On February 10, 2011, the Company issued a total of 2,291,100 shares of its common stock to Gu Yao as consideration (i) to acquire all of the issued and
28
outstanding shares of HLL owned by Gu Yao valued at $34,450, and (ii) to pay off the outstanding shareholder loan owed to Gu Yao by HLL. Accordingly, after completion of the transaction described above, the outstanding shareholder loan in the amount of $184,226 was owed by HLL to its sole shareholder, Studio II.
HLL also had amounts payable to and receivable from related parties as of March 31, 2012 and 2011. The amounts payable to related parties were $89,015 and $5,923, as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. They mainly represent payable to Cheung Ming and Gu Yao, shareholders of the Company and franchise fees payable to Sizegenic Holdings, Ltd., an entity which is under common control of Cheung Ming, the Companys President. As of March 31, 2012, HLL had $19,194 receivable from Beijing Kenon Bistro Catering Limited, which mainly represents the first year annual franchise fee and termination fee income. Beijing Kenon Bistro Catering Limited is under common control with Gu Yao, the holder of approximately 15.44% of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock.
The Company also had amounts payable to shareholders in the amount of $627,294 and $131,688 as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. They are amounts payable to Cheung Ming , Gu Yao and Vivian Choi who are the holders of 5,023,000 shares, or approximately 33.85%, 2,291,100 shares, or approximately 15.44%, and 2,938,492 shares, or approximately 19.8%, of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock. The amounts payable to Cheung Ming in the amount of $545,455 and 131,688 as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively mainly represent payment of legal and professional services for the Company. The payable is unsecured, non-interest bearing and no fixed repayment term. The amount payable to Gu Yao in the amount of $12,841 mainly represents the cash advance to Sino Wish for its operation need. The amount payable to Vivian Choi in the amount of $88,998 as of March 31, 2012 mainly represents the amount payable by the Companys subsidiary Sino Wish acquired in March, 2012 pursuant to the stock purchase agreement entered by HLL, Sino Wish and Vivian Choi, the former shareholder owned 100% share of Sino Wish. The payable of $88,998 will be repaid without interest, in four equal quarterly installments, with payments due as of the last day of each calendar quarter following the Closing Date on March 29, 2012, with the first such installment due on or before June 30, 2012, and with the entire unpaid balance due on or before March 31, 2013. HLL or its designees may also prepay the shareholder loan in whole or in part at any time during the fiscal year from April 1 2012 to March 31, 2013.
The law firm of Frascona, Joiner, Goodman and Greenstein, P.C., has billed the Company $56,994 and $33,376 for legal fees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and March 31, 2011, respectively. Gary Joiner, who is a shareholder of the Company, is also a shareholder, officer and director, of Frascona, Joiner, Goodman and Greenstein, P.C., a law firm which provides legal services to the Company.
There can be no assurance that members of management will resolve all conflicts of interest in our favor. The officers and directors are accountable to us and our shareholders as fiduciaries. Failure by them to conduct our business in a manner which is in our best interests may create liability for them. The area of fiduciary responsibility is a rapidly developing area of law, and persons who have questions concerning the duties of the officers and directors to us should consult their counsel.
Director Independence
The NASDAQ Stock Market has instituted director independence guidelines that have been adopted by the Securities & Exchange Commission. These guidelines provide that a director is deemed independent only if the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no relationship with the company which, in the boards opinion, would interfere with the directors exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Significant stock ownership will not, by itself, preclude a board finding of independence.
29
For NASDAQ Stock Market listed companies, the director independence rules list six types of disqualifying relationships that preclude an independence filing. The Companys board of directors may not find independent a director who:
1.
is an employee of the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;
2.
accepts, or who has a family member who accepts, more than $60,000 per year in payments from the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company other than (a) payments from board or committee services; (b) payments arising solely from investments in the companys securities; (c) compensation paid to a family member who is a non-executive employee of the company (d) benefits under a tax qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation; or (e) loans to directors and executive officers permitted under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act;
3.
is a family member of an individual who is employed as an executive officer by the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;
4.
is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services that exceed 5% of the recipients consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than (a) payments arising solely from investments in the companys securities or (b) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;
5.
is employed, or who has a family member who is employed, as an executive officer of another company whose compensation committee includes any executive officer of the listed company; or
6.
is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the companys outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the companys outside auditor who worked on the companys audit.
Based upon the foregoing criteria, our Board of Directors has determined that as of March 31, 2011, Yam Kee Cheong and Gary Joiner are independent directors.
