Note 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

l    Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2011. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

l    Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries which require consolidation. Inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of the Company’s operations is Reminbi (“RMB”)

l    Use of Estimates

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the year reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to obsolete inventory, useful life and recoverability of long lived assets, and goodwill. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

l    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the standard “Fair Value Measurements”, codified with ASC 820 and effective January 1, 2008. The provisions of ASC 820 are to be applied prospectively.

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e. the exit price at the measurement date). Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction cost. ASC 820 provides for use of a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels:

Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2:

Input other than quoted market prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, and reasonably available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.

 

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that the Company develops based on available information about what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a variety of factors. The Company uses judgment in determining fair value of assets and liabilities and Level 3 assets and liabilities involve greater judgment than Level 1 and Level 2 assets or liabilities.

l    Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash deposits with banks are held in financial institutions in China, which has no federally insured deposit protection. Accordingly, the Company has a concentration of credit risk related to these uninsured deposits.

l    Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. Costs include direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing overhead. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to management’s estimates based on prevailing market conditions. Management writes down the inventories to market value if market value is below cost. Management also regularly evaluates the composition of the Company’s inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.

l    Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Additions and improvement that substantially extend the useful life of the property, plant and equipment are capitalized. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the standard, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, codified with ASC 360.

l    Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or acquisition incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and construction in progress is transferred to property and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed.

l    Intangible Assets

The Company periodically analyzes its intangible assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through the measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP.

l    Related Parties

The caption “Due from shareholders” represents loans receivable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, and therefore are not considered current assets.

The caption “Due to shareholders” represents loans payable that are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, and therefore are deemed payable on demand. Refer to Note 6.

l    Comprehensive Income

The standard, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, codified with ASC 220, requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income and loss on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s other comprehensive income arose from the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments.

l    Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when finished products are shipped to unaffiliated customers, both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, or services have been rendered and accepted, and collectability is reasonably assured.

l    Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed to operations as incurred.

l    Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the standard, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, codified with ASC 740. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

l    Segment Information

The standard, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, codified with ASC 280, requires certain financial and supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis for each reportable segment of an enterprise. The Company believes that it operates in one business segment (research, development, production, marketing and sales) and in one geographical segment (China), as all of the Company’s current operations are carried out in China.

l    Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses on transactions are included in earnings.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the standard, “Foreign Currency Translation”, codified with ASC 830, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency consolidated financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the cumulative translation adjustments of ($27,614) and ($20,281), respectively, were classified as items of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, other comprehensive income (loss) was ($12,022) and $991, respectively.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into U.S. dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows: As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company used the period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities of $1 to RMB6.38428 and $1 to RMB6.6023, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company used the period’s average rate of exchange to convert revenues, costs, and expenses of $1 to RMB6.49674 and $1 to RMB6.8066, respectively. The Company used historical rates for equity.

l    Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. At September 30, 2011, the Company had no common stock equivalents that could potentially dilute future earnings per share; however, if present, a separate computation of diluted loss per share would not have been presented, as these common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

l    Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

l    New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” that provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding the application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. For the Company, ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company elected to adopt the provisions of this standard prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” that reduces the types of transactions that fall within the current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions be applied to an entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or utilizing software is considered more than incidental to the product or service. As a result of the amendments included in ASU No. 2009-14, many tangible products and services that rely on software will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the ASU, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of the product, software products bundled with tangible products where the software components and non-software components function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is essential to the tangible product’s functionality. The ASU also provides guidance on how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement contains both deliverables within the scope of software revenue guidance (software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance (non-software deliverables). For the Company, ASU No. 2009-14 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company elected to adopt the provisions of this standard prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements”, that amends existing disclosure requirements under ASC 820 by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to Level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation. For the Company, this ASU is effective for the first quarter of 2010, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective beginning the first quarter of 2011. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition— a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force that recognizes the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition method for substantive milestones in research or development arrangements. This standard would require its provisions be met in order for an entity to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone as revenue in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. In addition, this ASU would require disclosure of certain information with respect to arrangements that contain milestones. For the Company, this standard would be required prospectively beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This standard clarifies guidance on how to measure fair value and is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles. The ASU also expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. For the Company, this ASU is effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard requires entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement, or in separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements do not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. Also, the earnings-per share computation does not change. However, the current option under existing standards to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity is eliminated. In addition, the previous option to disclose reclassification adjustments in the notes to the financial statements is also eliminated, as reclassification adjustments will be required to be shown on the face of the statement under the new standard. For the Company, this ASU is effective retrospectively beginning January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. Since this standard impacts disclosure requirements only, its adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Under this new standard, entities testing goodwill for impairment now have an option of performing a qualitative assessment before having to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more-likely-than-not less than the carrying amount, the existing quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. For the Company, this ASU is effective beginning January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted under certain conditions. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
