2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include those of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the VIE, Guangdong Gewang. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of May 31, 2015, and for the three and six month periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which apply to interim financial statements.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 21, 2015. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the year ending November 30, 2015.

 

All consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”).

 

Variable Interest Entity

 

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), the Company is required to include in its consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of its variable interest entities (“VIEs”).  ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.  VIEs are those entities in which a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

 

Under ASC 810, a reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the reporting entity has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  The reporting entity’s determination of whether it has this power is not affected by the existence of kick-out rights or participating rights, unless a single enterprise, including its related parties and de facto agents, have the unilateral ability to exercise those rights.  Guangdong Gewang’s actual stockholders do not hold any kick-out rights that affect the consolidation determination.

 

Through the VIE agreements disclosed in Note 1, the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Gewang. Accordingly, the results of Guangdong Gewang have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Guangdong Gewang has no assets that are collateral for or restricted solely to settle their obligations. The creditors of Guangdong Gewang do not have recourse to the Company’s general credit.

 

The following financial statement amounts and balances of Guangdong Gewang have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company believes that Gewang Selenium’s contractual agreements with Guangdong Gewang are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable.  The stockholders of Guangdong Gewang are also the senior management of the Company and therefore the Company believes that they have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements.  However, Guangdong Gewang and its stockholders may fail to take certain actions required for the Company’s business or to follow the Company’s instructions despite their contractual obligations to do so.  Furthermore, if Guangdong Gewang or its stockholders do not act in the best interests of the Company under the contractual arrangements and any dispute relating to these contractual arrangements remains unresolved, the Company will have to enforce its rights under these contractual arrangements through PRC law and courts and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system.  All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC.  Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures.  As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements, which may make it difficult to exert effective control over Guangdong Gewang, and its ability to conduct the Company’s business may be adversely affected. 

 

Use of Estimates 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign Currency Translations

 

All Company assets are located in the PRC. The functional currency for the Company’s operations is the Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company uses the United States Dollar (“US Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes.  The financial statements of the Company have been translated into US dollars in accordance with Financial FASB ASC Section 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.”

 

 

All asset and liability accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Equity accounts have been translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.  Statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows have been translated using the average exchange rate for the periods presented. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as other comprehensive income.

 

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US dollars for the purposes of preparing the financial statements are as follows:

For the three months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, foreign currency translation adjustments of $25,735 and $(18,709), respectively, and for the six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, foreign currency translation adjustment of $5,558 and $ (17,581), respectively, have been reported as other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) of the Company consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Although government regulations now allow convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain. Hence, such translations should not be construed as representations that the RMB could be converted into US dollars at that rate or any other rate.

 

The value of the RMB against the US dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions.

 

Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US dollar reporting.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Before January 2014 revenues were primarily derived from selling selenium related products to contract distributors. Since January 2014 revenues also include revenue from the Company's  retail stores. The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with FASB ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. The Company recognizes product revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price paid by the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue for product sales upon transfer of title to the customer. Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and the completion of any customer acceptance requirements, when applicable, are used to verify product delivery. The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.  The Company has no product returns or sales discounts and allowances because goods delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable.

 

The Company’s revenues are comprised as follows:

Shipping Costs

 

Shipping costs incurred by the Company are recorded in selling expenses.  Shipping costs for the three months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 were $10,160 and $5,969, respectively; for the six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 were $19,480 and $13,659, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs  

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.  For the three months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, advertising expense was $22,019 and $14,607, respectively; for the six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 were $39,096 and $40,750, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable  

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the contract amount after deduction of trade discounts and allowances, if any, and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts, when necessary, is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses of accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.

 

Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. 

 

The Company required a 30% advance from customers through December 31, 2014. Commencing in January 2015, an advance from customers is no longer required.  As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, accounts receivable was $222,905 and $0, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, comprised principally of boxed Selenium Capsules, Selenium-glossy ganoderma Capsules and selenium powder, are valued at the lower of cost or market.  The value of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

 

The Company periodically estimates an inventory allowance for estimated unmarketable inventories. Inventory amounts are reported net of such allowances, if any. There were no allowances for inventory as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on valuation techniques that are both unobservable and

significant to the overall fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements.  When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented at fair value on a recurring basis. Carrying values of non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accrued expenses, and other payables, and stockholder loans, approximated their fair values due to the short maturity of these financial instruments. There were no changes in methods or assumptions during the periods presented.

           

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses primarily consist of rent, consulting fees and licensing fees.

 

On January 5, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement for the technology utilized for the manufacture of products from a third party. Under the terms, the Company is required to pay a fee of $97,740 (RMB 600,000) in advance each year for five years from January 2011 to December 2015. The related prepaid licensing fees of $57,155 and $8,155 were included in prepaid expenses on the balance sheets as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, respectively. The license provides for renewal options. Since this agreement requires the advance payment of the annual licensing fee, there are no minimum payments remaining under this agreement.

 

Advance from Customers

 

There are no advances from customers as of May 31, 2015.  For the year ended November 30, 2014, the advance from customers consists of a payment received from an unrelated third party on a sales contract entered into in November 30, 2014.  The contract was completed upon delivery of products to the customer in December 2014.

 

Impairment of Long-Live Assets

 

The Company applies FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets.  In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company will recognize the impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to those assets.  No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Statutory Reserve Fund

 

Pursuant to corporate law of the PRC, the Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital.  The statutory reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or used to increase registered capital, provided that the remaining reserve balance after use is not less than 25% of registered capital.  The required statutory reserve fund was $215,737 and $144,454 as of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, respectively.

           

Vulnerability Due to Operations in PRC

 

The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC.  Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than twenty years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions.  There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

 

The Company believes that Gewang Consulting’s contractual agreements with Guangdong Gewang are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable.  The stockholders of Guangdong Gewang are also the senior management of the Company and therefore the Company believes that they have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual agreements.  However, Guangdong Gewang and its stockholders may fail to take certain actions required for the Company’s business or to follow the Company’s instructions despite their contractual obligations to do so.  Furthermore, if Guangdong Gewang or its stockholders do not act in the best interests of the Company under the contractual agreements or any dispute relating to these contractual agreements remains unresolved, the Company will have to enforce its rights through the operations of PRC law and courts and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system. 

 

All of these contractual agreements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures.  As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual agreements, which could make it difficult to exert effective control over Guangdong Gewang, and its ability to conduct the Company’s business may be adversely affected.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  As of May 31, 2015, and November 30, 2014, the Company has no deferred tax assets or liabilities.

 

ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions.  As of May 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014, the Company does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s tax filings are subject to examination by the tax authorities.  The tax years of 2013 to 2014 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the PRC.
