Asia Cork Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

a)  
Interim financial statements:

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Asia Cork Inc.(f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

b)  
Description of business and reverse merger:

Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) (the "Company") was incorporated on August 1, 1996, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Until August 2005, the Company had no operations and the sole purpose of the Company was to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity.

On July 11, 2008, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Asia Cork Inc., was merged into its parent, the Company, in order to change the name of the Company, after approval by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company is the surviving company of the merger and, except for the adoption of the new name its Certificate of Incorporation is otherwise unchanged. The wholly-owned subsidiary was formed in July 2008 and had no material assets.

As permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company assumed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary following the merger and now operates under the name Asia Cork Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “AKRK.OB

In August 2005, the Company, through Kushi Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub") acquired all the ownership interest in Hanxin (Cork) International Holding Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin International"), a British Virgin Islands limited liability corporation, organized in September 2004. The Company acquired Hanxin International in exchange for shares of common stock and shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company. The capitalizations are described in further detail in Note 18 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent to the merger and upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the former shareholders of Hanxin International will own 95% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the ownership interests of the former shareholders of Hanxin International, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Hanxin International deemed the accounting acquirer and Kushi deemed the accounting acquiree. Historical information of the surviving company is that of Hanxin International.

Hanxin International has no other business activities but owns 100% of Xi'An Cork Investments Consultative Management Co., Ltd. ("Xi'An"), which owns 92% of Xian Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin"), incorporated in July 2002, both Xi'An and Hanxin are People's Republic of China (“PRC”) corporations. Most of the Company’s activities are conducted through Hanxin.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, Hanxin acquired a 75% equity interest of Cork Import and Export Co. Ltd. (“CIE”), a PRC corporation engaged in the cork trading business.

Hanxin is engaged in developing, manufacturing and marketing of cork wood floor, wall and decorating materials. Its products are sold to customers in China and oversea customers in India, the United States of America, Germany and Japan through the distributors or agents.

c)  
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates in 2010 and 2009 include the estimated useful lives and fair values of the assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d)  
Revenue recognition

In accordance with the ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company's revenues from the sale of products are recognized when reception and inspection of goods are finalized by clients, the sales price to the customer is fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via purchase order from distributor, our customers, product delivery is evidenced by warehouse shipping log as well as signed bill of lading from the trucking company and no product return is allowed except defective or damaged products, the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order, there is no separate sales rebate, discounts, and volume incentives.
 
 
6

 
 
The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT which is levied on the majority of its products at the rate of 17% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales and input VAT is borne by the Company in addition to the invoiced value of purchases.

e)  
Reclassifications

Certain amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

f)  
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.  The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received.  Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.

g)  
Basic and diluted net income per share

The Company accounts for net income per common share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”). ASC 260 requires the disclosure of the potential dilution effect of exercising or converting securities or other contracts involving the issuance of common stock. Basic net income per share is determined based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income per share is determined based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised into common stock.

h)  
Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies of the Company's subsidiaries are local currencies, primarily the Chinese Renminbi. The financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

i)  
Income taxes
 
The Company and its U. S. subsidiary will file consolidated federal income taxes return and state franchise tax annual report individually. The Company's PRC subsidiaries file income tax returns under the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws. The Company's BVI subsidiary is exempt from income taxes.
 
The Company follows ASC 740 - Accounting for “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), codified in FASB ASC Topic 740, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48, and the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders equity. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.   At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording of tax related liability.

Non-Controlling Interest

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which established new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (NCIs) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability (as was previously the case), that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI was separately designated in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive income. Losses attributable to the NCI in a subsidiary may exceed the NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to the NCI is attributed to those interests. The NCI shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 20-10-17, “Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition” or ASU 2010-17. This update provides guidance on the recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades,” or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 –Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. Embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting, as clarified by recently issued FASB guidance. Other embedded credit-derivative features are required to be analyzed to determine whether they must be accounted for separately. This update provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. The guidance is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-10 –Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This update defers the effective date of the amendments to the consolidation requirements made by FASB Statement 167 to a reporting entity’s interest in certain types of entities. The deferral will mainly impact the evaluation of reporting enterprises’ interests in mutual funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate investment entities that measure their investment at fair value, real estate investment trusts, and venture capital funds. The ASU also clarifies guidance in Statement 167 that addresses whether fee arrangements represent a variable interest for all service providers and decision makers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-09 Subsequent Events Topic 855, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” effective immediately. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of US GAAP. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

The Company uses the allowance method to estimate the uncollectible portion of its account receivables. Based on the percentage of outstanding receivable approach, the Company should recorded bad debt expense in the debit and the related credit to the allowance account at closing day. The Company’s subsidiary, Hanxin maintains a reserve for uncollectible accounts of 0.5% of accounts receivable. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company increased the amount of its reserve from 0.5% to 5.0% of accounts receivable due to an increase in accounts receivable from major customers as well as new customers. Commencing the second quarter of 2010, the payment to the Company by its major customers was extended to one year in order to expand its revenues. As a result, the allowance for doubtful account increased significantly as of September 30, 2010.

INVENTORIES

The barks and wood particles are the primary raw materials utilized to manufacture cork planks. The wood particles consist of grinded barks.  During the course of manufacture, the Company makes use of reproducible oak barks. Since the growth cycle of oak barks takes long periods of time, the Company generally purchases barks and wood particles in advance in order to ensure production. Moreover, the barks are usually picked in autumn.  In order to have sufficient raw materials, the Company purchased a significant amount of barks and wood particles as of September 30, 2010.

DEPOSIT FOR PURCHASE OF FIXED ASSETS
 
Hanxin intended to purchase a factory’s fixed assets through an unrelated agent who handled the negotiations for the Company, and both parties signed the Entrust Purchase Agreement on November 10, 2005. Hanxin had paid deposits $2,021,380 (equivalent to RMB 13,800,000) as of December 31, 2009. The agency agreement has no firm commitment on the purchase but it stated a maximum price of RMB 50,000,000 that the Company is willing to pay for the fixed assets. Due to the dissension within the factory’s creditors, the agent could not close this purchase agreement on time. As a result, Hanxin had a supplementary agreement with this agent on September 27, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the agreement was extended and as a result, Hanxin would fully collect the deposit which it had paid to the agent if the purchase was not completed by June 30, 2010.  Since various issues within the factory’s creditors were not resolved during the second quarter of 2010, the agent was unable to fulfill this agreement. Therefore, the deposit was returned to Hanxin in June 2010 by the unrelated agent.

DEPOSIT FOR ACQUISITION

Hanxin intended to acquire Sichuan Hanxin Cork Merchandises Co, Ltd. (“Sichuan Hanxin”), one of its cork raw material providers located in Sichuan Province China, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sichuan Hanxin on March 26, 2007. The purchase price of Sichuan Hanxin was not to exceed RMB20 million (equivalent to $2,949,226) based upon the agreement. As of June 30, 2010, Hanxin had paid RMB9.3 million  (equivalent to $1,371,390) deposits to Sichuan Hanxin.
 
On September 20, 2009, Hanxin entered into an agreement with the two shareholders of Sichuan Hanxin, Huadong Li and Xiaojun Wu. The agreement grants Hanxin an option to acquire 100% of the shares of Sichuan Hanxin by September 20, 2010. The acquisition price shall be between 120% and 150% of the net asset value as shown in the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2009 of Sichuan Hanxin. The amount of the premium over the net asset value is subject to agreement by the parties, but shall not exceed 150%. Exercise of the option is subject to a satisfactory financing arrangement, due diligence and requisite corporate approvals. In the event that any of the closing conditions are not satisfied by September 20, 2010, the agreement will terminate except that the breaching party shall be liable to pay a penalty of RMB 10 million (equivalent to $1,474,613). According to the agreement, Hanxin shall pay 30% of the acquisition price within 10 days from the date of fulfillment of all closing conditions, 30% within 60 days from the fulfillment date, and 40% within 10 days from completing the transfer of all assets and shares of Sichuan Hanxin.  Since the Company did not acquire any financing, and none of the closing conditions were satisfied as of September 20, 2010, the acquisition agreement between the Company and Sichuan Hanxin has been terminated. In addition, the Company purchased cork floor products from Sichuan Hanxin since April 2010. It incurred a huge amount of costs due to Sichuan Hanxin.  As a result, after negotiation by both parties, the acquisition deposit of RMB9.3 million (equivalent to $1,362,234 as of December 31, 2009) has fully offset the due debt resulting from the purchase of cork floor products from Sichuan Hanxin.

NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT FOR PURCHASE OF LAND USE RIGHT

In order to ensure a sufficient raw material production base, the Company plans to purchase the right to use a parcel of land of planting oak from Shaanxi Shuta Cork Products Co., Ltd (“Shuta”)  in the Baoji district Shaanxi Province of the PRC in 2007 (oak leather is used to produce the company's main raw material).  The Company prepaid RMB10 million (equivalent to $1,494,509) to Shuta. However, the Company terminated the agreement with Shuta in August, 2008.  The deposit was refunded to the Company in August and September 2008.   In the first quarter of 2009 the Company terminated the land use right purchase deal with Shuta. In 2008, based upon Hanxin’s sale and manufacturing strategies Shuta opened cork retail chain stores exclusively selling Hanxin’s products. In 2008 Hanxin was not able to achieve its 500,000 square meters floor and board production plan and delayed purchase orders from Shuta. Accordingly, Shuta had to readjust its year 2008 sales strategies and incurred heavy losses. In order to avoid losing an important distribution channel, Hanxin loaned RMB10 million (equivalent to $1,494,509) to   Shuta for a one year term commencing October 27, 2008.  This loan is non-interest bearing and unsecured.  On October 28, 2009, Hanxin signed a new loan agreement with Shuta extending the term of the loan from October 27, 2009 to October 27, 2011.
 
 
16

 
 
Hanxin would like to purchase the land use right in Baoji District Shaanxi Providence from Shaanxi Shuta as soon as it obtains sufficient financing. Hanxin believes that the price of the land is rising and needs the land use right for Portugal type production of cork trees. Therefore, on October 20, 2009, Hanxin signed a forgiveness memo with Shuta to express its desire to acquire 7,000 Mu (equal to 4,669,000 square meters) land use rights on or before October 20, 2011 for a purchase price of RMB37.8 millions, The purchase price is the same amount as provided in the prior agreement. In the event that Hanxin does not purchase the land by October 20, 2011, Hanxin will be liable to pay Shuta all upfront operation costs approximately RMB10 million (equivalent to $1,494,509) that Shuta had paid to acquire the land use right from the Baoji District government. The parties anticipate that if Hanxin does not purchase the land by October 20, 2011, Shuta will not repay the RMB10 million loan and the parties will have no further obligation to each other. Accordingly, the Company reclassified all of these loan amounts as Non-Refundable deposits for the purchase of land use right commencing as of October 20, 2009.

Even though Shuta is one of the major customers of Hanxin, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and in year ended December 31, 2009, the total amount sold to Shuta only represented 3.12% and 2.63% of total sales of Hanxin, respectively. Shuta does not have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operational decisions. Shuta is not subject to common control or common significant influence. Accordingly, Shuta is not deemed a related party of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES – NET
 
On September 27, 2001, the Company purchased certain investment entertainment facilities called YuLerYuan Resort which included certain buildings, machinery, equipment, and the right to use a parcel of land of approximately 10,360.3 square meters for 40 years. The purchase price of the land use right is being amortized over the term of the right while other facilities are being depreciated over the estimated life of properties. The Company renovated the space and built an additional student dormitory in 2007. The construction was completed in June 2008. In order to pass the inspection from the authorities in China and obtain the ownership certificates, the Company spent additional funds to install fire-fighting equipments in the building starting the second quarter of 2010. As of September 30, 2010, the installation of fire fighting equipments had been completed. At the same time, the Company obtained the ownership certificates with respect to the dormitory. The YuLerYuan Resort including the new student dormitory was leased for $22,037 (equivalent to RMB150,000) per month to the university nearby YuLerYuan Resort and this agreement was renewed on March 1, 2010, and was extended to February 28th, 2011.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In June 2008, the Company consummated an offering of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes matured in June 2009 and bore interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Upon the successful closing of an equity or convertible debt financing for a minimum of $2,000,000 ("Financing"), the promissory notes will be convertible into shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the price per share of Common Stock sold in the Financing. Since the Financing was not achieved within the one year term of the promissory notes, each investor has the option to be paid the principal and interest due under the promissory note or convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.228 per share.

The warrants are exercisable at any time after the consummation of the Financing through the fourth anniversary of the consummation of the Financing (the "Financing Expiration Date"). Each holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to the initial principal amount of such investor's promissory note divided by the lowest cash purchase price paid for the Company's common stock (or the conversion price or exercise price if the Financing consists of convertible securities or warrants, respectively) in the Financing (the "Financing Based Conversion Price") at an exercise price equal to the Financing Based Conversion Price. Since the Financing did not occur within 12 months of the issuance of the warrant, the warrant is exercisable from and after such date and through the fourth anniversary of the issuance date of the warrant. In such event, the holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the initial principal amount of the promissory note divided by $0.228 at an exercise price equal to $0.228, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the warrant. Since the notes were not paid at maturity in June 2009, the annual interest rate payable since the maturity date increased to 24%. On July 6, 2010, the Company and those investors entered in to an amendment agreement. Pursuant to the amendment agreement, the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2010 and the interest rate under the note remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.

On October 31, 2010, a second amendment agreement was entered into between the Company and the noteholders whereby the maturity date was extended again to February 28, 2011 and the interest rate under the notes remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.  The Company has filed a registration statement with respect to a proposed public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”), with respect to certain Units consisting of Common Stock and warrants . Upon the closing of the proposed offering, the Company shall:  (1) pay the investors cash by wire transfer in an amount equal to $350,000 (50% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes) and (2) the investors shall receive, upon conversion of the balance due under the note, such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the securities that is equal to the quotient of the sum of (i) $350,000 and (ii) all accrued a unpaid interest thereon, divided by fifty percent of the offering price per share of Common Stock included in the Units. .  In the event that the closing shall not occur by February 28, 2011, the interest rate under the note shall increase to 24% per annum, accruing from the first anniversary of the issuance of the note. The interest payable has been accrued and recorded as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Since the warrants issued with convertible notes are basically long-term options to buy common stock at a fixed price, the Company allocated the proceeds from the offering of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants between the two securities utilizing the  incremental method, The difference between the market price of the common stock on the issuance date of the warrants and the warrant  exercise price of $0.228  has been carried on the balance sheet as a “discount on convertible note, and the sum also been carried on the balance sheet as an “additional paid-in capital-stock warrant” in the amount of $279,386 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
If the investors exercise the warrants, the Company will reflect the proceeds received and increase “Additional Paid-in Capital – Stock Warrant”, and “Common Stock” and “Additional Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par”. However, if the investors do not exercise the warrants, the Company will reduce “Additional Paid-in Capital –Stock Warrant” for $279,386, and increase “Additional Paid-In Capital from Expired Warrants” for a like amount.
 
The Company’s obligations under the promissory notes are secured by an aggregate of 7,630,814 shares of common stock pledged by Mr. Pengcheng Chen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Fangshe Zhang, the Company’s Chairman (the “Escrow Shares”). In the event that subsequent to the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the value of the Escrow Shares is less than 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the promissory notes for 10 consecutive trading days, then the holder of the promissory notes shall have the right to give the Company notice (the “Investor Notice”) to deposit or cause to be deposited additional Escrow Shares such that the value of the Escrow Shares based upon the volume weighted average price per share for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the Investor Notice, is equal to 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the promissory notes. The Company agreed to deposit or cause to be deposited such additional Escrow Shares within 30 days of the date of the Investor Notice. To the extent the Escrow Shares are not sufficient to meet the threshold of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the promissory notes within 30 days after the Investor Notice, the Company shall grant to investors a security interest on the Company’s tangible assets to the extent permitted under applicable law.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including footnotes, and other information presented in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2010.

Overview
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 1, 1996. The Company was formed in connection with the merger acquisition of Kushi Macrobiotics Corp. (“KMC”) with American Phoenix Group, Inc. (“APGI”) in 1996. Prior to such acquisition, KMC had operated a business of marketing a line of natural foods (the “Kushi Cuisine”). This business was not successful and management determined that it would be in the shareholder’s interest for KMC to operate a different business. In August 2005, the Company, through Kushi Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub") acquired all the ownership interest in Hanxin (Cork) International Holding Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin International"), a British Virgin Islands limited liability corporation, organized in September 2004. The Company acquired Hanxin International in exchange for 24,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, which such shares converted into 29,530,937 shares of common stock. Subsequent to the merger and upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the former shareholders of Hanxin International currently own 95% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
 
 
28

 
 
 
Kushi Sub, the surviving entity of the merger with Hanxin International, has no other business activities other than owning 100% of Xi'An Cork Investments Consultative Management Co., Ltd. ("Xi'An"), which owns 92% of Xian Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin"), incorporated in July 2002, both Xi'An and Hanxin are People's Republic of China (PRC) corporations. Most of the Company’s operating and business activities are conducted through Hanxin.

On July 11, 2008, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Asia Cork Inc. was merged into the Company as approved by the Board of Directors. The Company was the survivor of the merger and assumed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary following the merger and now operates under the name Asia Cork Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “AKRK.OB.”

Business Overview

Through our subsidiaries, we engage in developing, manufacturing and distribution of cork wood floor, wall and decorating products. The cork industry is generally regarded as environmentally friendly. The sustainability of production and the easy recycling of cork products and by –products are two of its most distinctive aspects. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we sold all our products to our clients in China, and then part of our China clients resold our products to their overseas clients.  Approximately 75% of Hanxin’s products sold in 2009 were to the end users in China by our own sales persons and domestic distributors and agents, with the remaining sales being made to customers overseas through our China clients who included unrelated distributors and sales agents. Internationally, our products have been distributed into India, the United States of America, Germany and Japan. The sales to the distributors, the sales agent and directly to clients have no difference as reflected in accounting policies, as the price and the means of delivery has no material differences. All sales revenues are recognized when reception and inspection of goods are finished by clients.  We have the right to use 17 patents developed by Fangshe Zhang, our Chairman regarding cork processing technologies. We own 3 patents, lease 3 patents, and have exclusive right to use another 11 patents for free. We believe that these 17 patents give us a competitive advantage in our product quality. With the patents we own and develop, we believe that we will be able to keep our leading status in cork production industry in China.
 
Foreign Exchange Considerations

Even though we are a U.S. company, because all of our operations are located in the PRC, we face certain risks associated with doing business in that country. These risks include risks associated with the ongoing transition from state business ownership to privatization, operating in a cash-based economy, dealing with inconsistent government policies, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers, challenges in staffing and managing operations in a communist country, differences in technology standards, employment laws and business practices, longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable, changes in currency exchange rates and currency exchange controls. We are unable to control the vast majority of these risks associated both with our operations and the country in which they are located and these risks could result in significant declines in our revenues.

Because revenues from our operations in the PRC accounted for 100% of our consolidated net revenues, how we report net revenues from our PRC-based operations is of particular importance to understanding our financial statements. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," and are included in determining comprehensive net income or loss. For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income or loss.

The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese RMB, the local currency. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material during the periods presented. Until 1994, the RMB experienced a gradual but significant devaluation against most major currencies, including U.S. dollars, and there was a significant devaluation of the RMB on January 1, 1994 in connection with the replacement of the dual exchange rate system with a unified managed floating rate foreign exchange system. Since 1994, the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. Dollar has remained stable and has appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. Countries, including the United States, have argued that the RMB is artificially undervalued due to China's current monetary policies and have pressured China to allow the RMB to float freely in world markets.

On July 21, 2005, the PRC reported that it would have its currency pegged to a basket of currencies rather than just tied to a fixed exchange rate to the dollar. It also increased the value of its currency 2% higher against the dollar, effective immediately. If any devaluation of the RMB were to occur in the future, returns on our operations in China, which are expected to be in the form of RMB, will be negatively affected upon conversion to U.S. dollars. Although we attempt to have most future payments, mainly repayments of loans and capital contributions, denominated in U.S. dollars, if any increase in the value of the RMB were to occur in the future, our product sales in China and in other countries may be negatively affected.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.
 
We record property and equipment at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from 1 to 35 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
 
Our revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped, title passes, the sales price to the customer is fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via purchase order from customer, product delivery is evidenced by warehouse shipping log as well as bill of lading from the trucking company and no product return is allowed except defective or damaged products, the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order, there is no separate sales rebate, discounts, and volume incentives.

Revenues

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our revenues were $11,002,498 as compared to $10,151,002 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $851,496 or 8.39%. The primary reason for the increase in revenues resulted from the increase of orders from our major customers in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. In the third quarter of 2010 sales of major finished goods (wood materials and boards) increased as compared to the third quarter of 2009. Despite the fact that this quantities of floors sold declined in the current period. Commencing in April 2010, we manufactured more series of products for wood materials, which caused the quantities of wood materials to increase significantly during the current period.

The increase in quantities per square meter, as reflected in the table, is relatively primarily attributable to the fact that we increased orders from our new and existing major customers. We increased sales volume of our products from 884,683 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 2,059,369 during the three months ended September 30, 2010

The decrease in average sales price per square meter, as reflected in the table, is relatively primarily attributable to the facts that we sold much more quantities of low unit sales price products of wood materials of density materials in the current period rather than a decrease in the sales price of major products of wood materials. Despite we prompted slightly unit sales price for boards commencing from October 2009. We sold more products of wood materials during the current periods. Therefore, the average sales price per square meter declined significantly for the three months ended September 30, 2010

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cost of sales amounted to $7,552,944 or 68.65% of net revenues as compared to cost of sales of $6,481,710 or 63.85% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,449,554 or 31.35% of total revenues, as compared to $3,669,292 or 36.15% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The gross margin decreased primarily as a result that we sold more products of wood materials which were low gross margin to our major customers during the current periods. In addition we raised employee salaries commencing in October 2009 and in May 2010. As a result, our unit costs increased slightly for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

Operating Expenses
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, total operating expenses were $756,666 as compared to $2,031,796 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,275,130 or 62.76%. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in selling expenses and commission costs. Despite the increase, an increase in freight costs was associated with the increase in our revenues. However the amount of the potential increase was reduced by a change in the commission rate from 10% to 2% in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to decreases professional fees in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the same quarter of 2009.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, bad debt reserve amounted to $61,897 as compared to $248,574 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $186,677 or 75.10%. The reason is primarily attributable to an increase in bad debt allowance from 0.5% to 5% of the outstanding accounts receivable commencing as of July 2009.
 
For three months ended September 30, 2010, research and development costs amounted to $309 as compared to $73,181 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $72,872 or 99.6%. The reason is primarily due to the Company engaging an unrelated party in August 2009 to develop a project focused on cork material carbonizing in order to acquire advanced technical procedures for future manufacturing.

Other Income (expense)

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, other income - net, amounted to $45,955 as compared to other expense net of $15,492 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a increase of $61,447 or 396.64%. Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is related to the income received from the leasing of our Yu Ler Yuan Resort..

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, net interest income was $13,065 as compared to net interest expense of $41,752 for three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $54,817 or 131.29%.In June 2008, the Company issued convertible notes and common stock purchase warrants resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes matured one year from the date of issuance and bore interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Since the notes were not paid at maturity, the annual interest rate increased to 24%.  On July 6, 2010, the Company and those investors entered in to an amendment agreement. Pursuant to the amendment agreement, the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2010 and the interest rate under the note remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.  On October 31, 2010, a second amendment agreement was entered into between the Company and the Selling Stockholders whereby the maturity date was extended again to February 28, 2011 and the interest rate under the notes remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.  Upon the closing of the concurrent Offering, the Company shall:  (1) pay the investors cash by wire transfer in an amount equal to $350,000 (50% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes) and (2) the investors shall receive, upon conversion of the balance due under the note, such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the securities that is equal to the quotient of the sum of (i) $350,000 and (ii) all accrued a unpaid interest thereon, divided by fifty percent of the offering price per share of Common Stock included in the Units.  In the event that the closing shall not occur by February 28, 2011, the interest rate under the note shall increase to 24% per annum, accruing from the first anniversary of the issuance of the note. As a result, the Company recalculated interest expense from 24% to 18% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, which caused the interest expense declined significantly for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Income Tax

Net income taxes expense increased by $113,357 to $407,187 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $293,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net income before income taxes in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our revenues were $22,436,245 as compared to $17,056,777 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $5,379,468 or 31.54%. The primary reason for the increase was attributable to the fact that our sales of major finished goods of boards increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. Moreover, we manufactured more series of products for wood materials commencing April 2010, which caused the quantities of wood materials to increase significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, we sold secondary raw materials in the amount of $1,189,002 to Sichuan Hanxin during the first quarter of 2010. No such sales were made in the first quarter of 2009.

The decrease in average sales price per square meter, as reflected in the table, is relatively primarily attributable to the facts that we sold much more quantities of low unit sales price products of wood materials of density materials in the current period rather than a decrease in the sales price of major products of wood materials. Despite we prompted slightly unit sales price for boards commencing from October 2009. We sold more products of wood materials during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Therefore, the average sales price per square meter declined significantly for the nine months ended September 30, 2010

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of sales amounted to $15,744,727 or 70.18% of net revenues as compared to cost of sales of $11,032,415 or 64.68% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $6,691,518 or 29.82% of revenues, as compared to $6,024,362 or 35.32% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Gross margin decreased primarily as a result of selling more products of wood materials which generated low gross margins to our major customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Moreover there was a low margin sale of secondary raw materials to Sichuan Hanxin in the first quarter of 2010.  In addition, we raised employee salaries commencing in October 2009 and in May 2010. As a result, our unit costs increased slightly for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

Because it is difficult to control the application amount of secondary raw materials in the course of manufacturing cork floor product in Sichuan Hanxin, and in order to avoid too much cash flow into the secondary raw materials, in January 2010, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Sichuan Hanxin to sell secondary raw materials without any profit. See more information in Note 4 of financial statement.

Operating Expenses
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, total operating expenses were $2,030,181 as compared to $3,223,874 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an decrease of $1,193,693 or 37.03%. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in selling expenses. The decrease in selling expenses was primary attribution to a decline in commission fees. Despite the increase, an increase in freight costs was associated with our increased revenue. However the amount of the potential increase was reduced by a change in the commission rate from 10% to 2% starting the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increases in employee salaries and professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, bad debt reserve amounted to $220,666 as compared to $253,104 for nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $32,438 or 12.82%. The reason for the decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in bad debt allowance from 0.5% to 5% of the outstanding accounts receivable commencing as of July 2009.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, research and development costs amounted to $110,187 as compared to $73,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $37,006 or 50.57%. The reason is primarily due to the Company engaging an unrelated party in August 2009 to develop a project focused on cork material carbonizing in order to acquire advanced technical procedures for future manufacturing.

Other Income (expense)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, other income net amounted to $25,865as compared to other expense net of $180,357 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a increase of $206,222 or114.34%. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is related to the income received from the leasing of our Yu Ler Yuan Resort.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net interest expense was $72,269 as compared to net interest expenses of $259,117 for nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $186,848, or 72.11%. In June 2008, the Company issued convertible notes and common stock purchase warrants resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes matured one year from the date of issuance and bore interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Since the notes were not paid at maturity, the annual interest rate increased to 24%. On July 6, 2010, the Company and those investors entered in to an amendment agreement. Pursuant to the amendment agreement, the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2010 and the interest rate under the note remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.  On October 31, 2010, a second amendment agreement was entered into between the Company and the noteholders whereby the maturity date was extended again to February 28, 2011 and the interest rate under the notes remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.  Upon the closing of the concurrent Offering, the Company shall:  (1) pay the investors cash by wire transfer in an amount equal to $350,000 (50% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes) and (2) the investors shall receive, upon conversion of the balance due under the note, such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the securities that is equal to the quotient of the sum of (i) $350,000 and (ii) all accrued a unpaid interest thereon, divided by fifty percent of the offering price per share of Common Stock included in the Units.  In the event that the closing shall not occur by February 28, 2011, the interest rate under the note shall increase to 24% per annum, accruing from the first anniversary of the issuance of the note. As a result, the Company recalculated interest expense from 24% to 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which caused the interest expense declined significantly for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Income Tax

Net income taxes expense increased by $225,033 to $702,063 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $477,030 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net income before income taxes in the first three quarters of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating working capital (cash and equivalents plus accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable and accrued expenses) increased by $8,511,502 from  $9,665,058 as of December 31, 2009 to $18,176,560 as of September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in inventories and accounts receivable in the amount of $3,360,855 and $4,335,379 during the current year, respectively. At the same time, we had an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $771,672.

Cash provided by operating activities was $441,775 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,455,045 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was a result of an increase of accounts receivable.

Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,297,319 of net cash provided as compared to $708,962 of net used for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The provision of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to proceeds from withdraw deposit for purchase of fixed assets from an unrelated agent.
 
Financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $186,026 of net cash used, as compared to $224,132 used for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The use of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were primarily attributable to repayment of a loan from an unrelated party, respectively.

In June 2008, the Company issued convertible notes and common stock purchase warrants resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes matured one year from the date of issuance and bore interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Since the notes were not paid at maturity, the annual interest rate increased to 24%. Upon the closing of a financing of at least $2,000,000, the promissory notes will be convertible into shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the price per share of common stock sold in such financing.  Each holder also has the option to either be paid the principal and interest due under the promissory note or, convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.228 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time after the consummation of such financing through the fourth anniversary of the consummation of such financing (the "Financing Expiration Date"). Since the financing  did not occur within 12 months of the issuance of the warrants, each warrant is exercisable for the number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the initial principal amount of the promissory note divided by $0.228, at an exercise price equal to $0.228, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the warrant. The interest payable regarding the convertible notes has been accrued and recorded as of September 30, 2010. On July 6, 2010, the Company and those investors entered in to an amendment agreement. Pursuant to the amendment agreement, the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2010 and the interest rate under the note remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.  On October 31, 2010, a second amendment agreement was entered into between the Company and the Noteholders whereby the maturity date was extended again to February 28, 2011 and the interest rate under the notes remained at 18% per annum from the issuance date through the maturity date.  Upon the closing of the concurrent Offering, the Company shall:  (1) pay the investors cash by wire transfer in an amount equal to $350,000 (50% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes) and (2) the investors shall receive, upon conversion of the balance due under the note, such whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the securities that is equal to the quotient of the sum of (i) $350,000 and (ii) all accrued a unpaid interest thereon, divided by fifty percent of the offering price per share of Common Stock included in the Units.  In the event that the closing shall not occur by February 28, 2011, the interest rate under the note shall increase to 24% per annum, accruing from the first anniversary of the issuance of the notes.

The promissory notes are secured by common stock pledged by Pengcheng Chen, our Chief Executive Officer and Fangshe Zhang, our Chairman. The holders have not sought to take possession of such collateral to date.  

We have approximately $17.88 million of net working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities). This increase was primarily because our accounts receivable balance increased from improvements in credit sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, despite the fact that the payment by our major customers was extended to one year commencing as of July 2010. In order to ensure that we have sufficient funds, we will actively attempt to collect the outstanding accounts receivable in the near future. As a result, we believe we have sufficient resources to finance our operations for the coming year.
 
Since the Company’s PRC operation subsidiaries, Xian Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin") and Cork Import and Export Co. Ltd (“CIE”) have not paid or declared any dividends on their common stock within the past three years and do not foresee doing so in the foreseeable future.  Hanxin and CIE intend to retain any future earnings for the operation and expansion of their business in the PRC.  Any decision as to future payment of dividends will depend on the future available earnings, the capital requirements of Hanxin and CIE, their general financial condition and other factors deemed pertinent by the Board of Directors.  In addition, as discussed below, there are restrictions on the ability of our Chinese operating subsidiaries to pay dividends due to foreign exchange control and other regulations of China. 
 
Under applicable PRC regulations, foreign-invested enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulated amount of such reserves reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a foreign-invested enterprise has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of a liquidation.

Furthermore, the ability of our Chinese operating subsidiaries to pay dividends may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balance of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. Because substantially all of our operations are conducted in China, all of our revenue and currency received are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). RMB is subject to the exchange control regulations in China, and, as a result, we may unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into U.S. Dollars. 
 
Our inability to receive dividends or other payments from our Chinese operating subsidiaries could adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business. The funds of Hanxin and CIE may not be readily available to us to satisfy obligations which have been incurred outside the PRC, which could adversely affect our business and prospects or our ability to meet our cash obligations. Accordingly, if we do not receive dividends from our Chinese operating subsidiaries, we may not have sufficient cash flow to fund our corporate overhead and regulatory obligations in the United States and may be unable to pay dividends on our shares of capital stock.
 
INFLATION

During the period under review, inflation did not have a material impact on our financial performance.
