Note 18- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingent Liability from Prior Operation                  
                   
Prior to the merger with Hong Kong Merit Enterprise Limited on February 11, 2008, the Company has not been active since discontinuing its financial service operations by December 31,2007.  Management believes that there are no valid outstanding liabilities from prior operations. If a creditor were to come forward and claim a liability, the Company has committed to contest such claim to the fullest extent of the law.  No amount has been accrued in the financial statements for this contingent liability.
                   
The Company’s assets are located in PRC and revenues are derived from operations in PRC.          
                   
In terms of industry regulations and policies, the economy of PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to market oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reforms, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in PRC are still owned by the Chinese government. For example, all lands are state owned and are leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of Land Use Rights. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over PRC’s economic growth through the allocation of resources and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures.
                   
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe, since its assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein. The PRC is a developing country with an early stage market economic system, overshadowed by the state.  Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are in a state of change.  The PRC also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationships with other countries, including the United States.  Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and negatively affect the Company's performance.
