NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Country Risk

As the Company's principal operations are conducted in the PRC, the Company is subject to considerations and risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These risks include, among others, risks associated with the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange limitations encountered in the PRC. The Company's results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, among other things.

In addition, all of the Company's transactions in the PRC are denominated in RMB, which must be converted into other currencies before remittance from the PRC. Both conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and remittance of foreign currencies abroad require approval of the PRC government.

Lack of Insurance

The Company currently has no insurance for its office facilities and operations and cannot be certain it can cover the risks associated with such lack of insurance or that it will be able to obtain and/or maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums.

Corporate Finance Advisory Services Agreements

On September 8, 2008, Asia Carbon entered a Corporate Finance Advisory Services Agreement (the “Asia Carbon Advisory Agreement”) with Friedland Corporate Investor Services LLC (“Friedland LLC”).  The agreement provided Friedland LLC would provide corporate finance advisory services to Asia Carbon designed to form a Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise (“WOFE”) in China and to result in Asia Carbon’s shares becoming publicly-traded in the US.  As consideration for these services, Asia Carbon agreed to pay Friedland no less than 10% of the Company shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis at the time of commencement of trading of the Company’s shares. These services were provided during 2008 and were valued at $50,000 and recorded as consulting expense.

Pursuant to the Asia Carbon Advisory Agreement, the Company issued 4,700,000 and 360,809 shares to Friedland LLC on January 25, 2010 and May 11, 2010, respectively.  In addition, the Company paid $498,034 to Friedland LLC in connection with a private placement (PP). This amount was netted against the proceeds from the PP and reduced in additional paid in capital.
