Business Development Solutions, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Corporate information
   
Business Development Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 28, 1987. On November 28, 2002, the Company effected its re-incorporation as a Delaware corporation by merging with its then wholly-owned subsidiary.
   
Before the share exchange transaction as detailed below, the Company engaged in no business operations other than the acquisition of capital for general and administrative expenses.
   
On March 30, 2009, the Company entered into and closed a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with TripMart Holding Limited (“TripMart”), a British Virgin Islands company, and its shareholders, including the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Shu Keung Chui, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TripMart in exchange for 14,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001, which constituted 88.14% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement.
   
The acquisition of TripMart was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein TripMart is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes (the “RTO”). The Company’s assets and liabilities have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized. These financial statements, issued under the name of the Company, represent the continuation of the financial statements of TripMart.
   
As a result of the RTO, the Company now owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TripMart, which in turn owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of TripMart Corporation Limited (“TripMart HK”), a company incorporated in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, which in turn owns 100% of the equity interest in Suzhou EZTripMart Business Services Co., Ltd. (“Suzhou TripMart”), a wholly foreign-owned enterprise established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). As a result of the RTO, the Company became a provider of e-commerce travel services and technology in China, specializing in developing products and services, marketing strategies and business solutions for small and medium sized travel agents, and providing other travel related products and services.
   
Current PRC laws and regulations impose substantial restrictions on foreign ownership of the air-ticketing, travel agency, and value-added telecommunications businesses in the PRC. Therefore, the Company conducts part of its operations through a series of contractual arrangements between Suzhou TripMart and Shanghai EZTripMart Travel Agency Co., Ltd (“Shanghai TripMart”), the variable interest entity (“VIE”) of the Company, which holds the licenses and approvals for conducting the air-ticketing, travel agency, and value-added telecommunications businesses in China. Shanghai TripMart was incorporated in Shanghai, China on February 12, 1999 as a travel agency offering comprehensive travel products and services. Details of the VIE arrangement are set forth in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
   
Basis of preparation
   
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
   
The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been taken from the audited consolidated balance sheet of TripMart as of that date. All other financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.
   
Basis of consolidation
   
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and a VIE. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE have been eliminated upon consolidation.
   
The Company adopted ASC 810, formerly Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51”, as amended, and considers Suzhou TripMart to be the primary beneficiary of Shanghai TripMart by virtue of several contractual agreements entered into between Suzhou TripMart, Shanghai TripMart and the sole shareholder of Shanghai TripMart, Shanghai Junli Air Services Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Junli”) on March 27, 2009. Accordingly, the financial statements of Shanghai TripMart were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements since March 27, 2009.
   
Variable interest entities
   
Suzhou TripMart entered into a Technical and Management Consulting Services Agreement, an Equity Pledge Agreement, an Intellectual Property Assignment and License Agreement (as amended and restated on August 1, 2009) and an Option Agreement with Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai Junli (collectively referred to herein as the “Commercial Agreements”), through which Suzhou TripMart conducts part of its businesses and has the exclusive right to acquire all the equity of Shanghai TripMart if and when permitted by PRC regulations.
   
Suzhou TripMart has also entered into a Proxy Agreement with Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai Junli. Through this control arrangement, the Company has Shanghai Junli’s proxy to vote on matters on which Shanghai Junli is entitled to vote, including election of directors.
   
The Company believes that the terms of these agreements are no less favorable than the terms that the Company could obtain from disinterested third parties and the Company’s conduct of business through the Commercial Agreements complies with existing PRC laws, rules and regulations.
   
The principal terms of these contractual arrangements are described below.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
   
Variable interest entities (continued)
   
Technical and Management Consulting Services Agreement
   
Pursuant to a technical and management consulting services agreement dated March 27, 2009 (the “Services Agreement”) between Suzhou TripMart, Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai Junli, Shanghai TripMart has agreed to engage Suzhou TripMart as Shanghai TripMart’s exclusive provider of certain technical, management consulting and related services.
   
In consideration for the services, Shanghai TripMart agreed to pay Suzhou TripMart a service fee each calendar quarter, equal to 50% of Shanghai TripMart’s net profit (as defined in the Services Agreement) for the quarter; provided however, that no such service fee is payable until and unless the net profit is first applied to reduce any operating losses of Shanghai TripMart carried over from previous quarters.
   
Equity Pledge Agreement
   

Pursuant to an equity pledge agreement dated March 27, 2009 (the “Pledge Agreement”) between Suzhou TripMart, Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai Junli, Shanghai Junli pledged its equity interests in Shanghai TripMart as a guarantee for Shanghai TripMart’s payment to Suzhou TripMart of service fees due and payable under the Services Agreement, the fulfillment of Shanghai TripMart’s obligations under the IP Assignment and License Agreement and the Option Agreement described below.

   
Intellectual Property Assignment and License Agreement
   

Pursuant to an intellectual property assignment and license agreement dated March 27, 2009 (as amended and restated on August 1, 2009, the “IP Assignment and License Agreement”) between Suzhou TripMart and Shanghai TripMart, Suzhou TripMart has assigned to Shanghai TripMart without a grant fee certain trademarks and domain names relating to the operation of the Company’s websites, as required for Shanghai TripMart to maintain its license to operate as a value-added telecommunications service provider, and have granted Shanghai TripMart a license to use Suzhou TripMart’s intellectual property, including the proprietary software supporting the Company’s websites, in exchange for a monthly royalty of the greater of (i) 5% of revenue of Shanghai TripMart or (ii) RMB10,000. Under the IP Assignment and License Agreement, Shanghai TripMart granted back to Suzhou TripMart an exclusive (except as to Shanghai TripMart), royalty-free, transferrable, irrevocable, worldwide license to use the assigned marks in Suzhou TripMart’s business, with the right to sublicense, to the extent not contrary to applicable PRC laws, Shanghai TripMart’s ownership of the assigned marks during the term of the agreement.

   
Option Agreement
   

Pursuant to an option agreement dated March 27, 2009 (the “Option Agreement”) between Suzhou TripMart, Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai Junli, Shanghai Junli granted Suzhou TripMart an exclusive, irrevocable option to purchase all or part of its equity interests in, or all or part of the assets of, Shanghai TripMart (the “Interests”), to the extent permitted by the then-effective PRC laws and regulations. The option may be exercised by Suzhou TripMart and/or any other person Suzhou TripMart designates. The Company intends to exercise such option at such time that applicable PRC laws and regulations remove restrictions on foreign ownership of air-ticketing, travel agencies, and value-added telecommunications businesses in China. The Option Agreement will terminate after all the Interests have been effectively transferred to Suzhou TripMart, or by Suzhou TripMart’s election with or without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other parties.

Variable interest entities (continued)
   
Proxy Agreement
   
The Company’s control arrangement with Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai Junli is pursuant to a proxy agreement dated March 27, 2009 (the “Proxy Agreement”) between Suzhou TripMart, Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai Junli, pursuant to which Shanghai Junli has irrevocably appointed a PRC individual designated by Suzhou TripMart as Shanghai Junli’s proxy and attorney-in-fact, to vote on Shanghai Junli’s behalf on all matters it is entitled to vote on at every stockholders’ meeting, and to exercise Shanghai Junli’s shareholder rights. The proxy is also entitled to elect a majority of Shanghai TripMart’s directors. The term of the Proxy Agreement continues until terminated pursuant to the parties’ mutual agreement or the expiration of the term of commercial arrangement with Shanghai TripMart.
   
As a result of these contractual arrangements, which enable the Company to substantially control Shanghai TripMart, the Company has consolidated Shanghai TripMart’s historical financial results in these financial statements commencing from the effective dates of the Commercial Agreements as a variable interest entity pursuant to U.S. GAAP. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss on the initial consolidation of Shanghai TripMart. Creditors of Shanghai TripMart do not have recourse to the Company’s general credit
   
The following is a summary of certain financial data of Shanghai TripMart:-

  Total assets $ 2,992,343   $ 1,627,103  
  Total liabilities $ 170,262   $ 1,416,802  

Concentrations of credit risk

During the current reporting period, no customer contributed 10% or more to the Company’s gross revenue from the travel agency provision businesses. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and as of September 30, 2009, there were no individual customers whose trade receivable represented 10% or more of the Company’s net trade receivables. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade and other receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade and other receivables.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2009-1)
   

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB"), approved its Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification, as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all nongovernmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.

   
As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the three months ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In these financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.
   
Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51)
   
The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
   
Recently issued accounting pronouncements (continued)
   
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))
   
This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
   
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350, previously FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”)
   
The amended topic amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
   
Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”)
   
Amended topic ASC 805 amends the requirements for the provisions for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The amended topic eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired from business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
   
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1)
   
This guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. The amended topic was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
   
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4 “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”)
   
The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (continued)
   
Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)
   
The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which the Company should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.
   
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (Included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”)
   
The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.
   
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
   
The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)

The following pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition (the “Exchange Transaction”) of TripMart Holding Limited (“TripMart”) by Business Development Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information also include the estimated effect of the series of agreements (collectively, the “Commercial Agreements”) entered into by a wholly-owned subsidiary of TripMart with Shanghai EZTripMart Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai TripMart”) and its sole shareholder, through which the subsidiary conducts part of its businesses and has the exclusive right to acquire all the equity of Shanghai TripMart if and when permitted by PRC regulations (the “VIE Arrangement”). As a result of the VIE Arrangement, Shanghai TripMart is considered as the variable interest entity of TripMart.

The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows assume the Exchange Transaction and the VIE Arrangement were consummated on January 1, 2008.

We have derived our historical financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 from our unaudited financial statements and quarterly reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, respectively. We have derived the historical financial data of TripMart and Shanghai TripMart for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 from their respective unaudited financial statements.

The information presented in the pro forma combined statements does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations and cash flows would have been had the Exchange Transaction and the VIE Arrangement occurred as of the date indicated, nor is it indicative of our future results of operations and cash flows for any period. You should not rely on this information as being indicative of the forecast and historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined companies will experience after the Exchange Transaction and the VIE Arrangement.

These pro forma condensed combined financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of the Company, TripMart and Shanghai TripMart.

Overview of Our Business

We are a holding company that operates through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Suzhou TripMart, a leading B2B e-commerce travel services company in China, specializing in developing products and services, marketing strategies and business solutions and for small and medium sized travel agents. We also provide travel management services and products to corporate clients throughout China, as well as premium travel products and services to high-net-worth individuals with discerned travel needs.

Currently PRC law imposes substantial restrictions on foreign ownership of the air-ticketing, travel agency, and value-added telecommunications business in the PRC. Therefore, we conduct part of our operations through a series of contractual arrangements between Suzhou TripMart and Shanghai TripMart, our VIE that holds the licenses and approval for conducting travel products and services and value-added telecommunications business in China. For further information regarding the agreements and arrangements among us, Suzhou TripMart, Shanghai TripMart and Shanghai TripMart’s parent company, Shanghai Junli Air Service Co., Ltd., or Shanghai Junli, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2009.

We conduct our business primarily through our websites www.zuwin.cn and www.eztripmart.com. Our travel agency marketplace at www.zuwin.cn provides for a neutral medium for air-ticketing agencies across China to post their air ticket inventory and price information online and conduct ticketing on a real-time basis. Travel agencies can browse through real-time listings of available air ticket inventory across China, which enables them to obtain favorable prices for their customers which would not be otherwise available, and maximize their efficiency and profitability. Since the launch of the trial run of the domestic air ticket marketplace in October 2008, we have experienced significant growth in our supplier and user base. We officially rolled out our air ticket marketplace for both domestic and international ticketing in March 2009 and expect to become a dominant player in the B2B e-commerce platform for air ticket sales in China in terms of ticketing volume and revenue.

27


Through our user-friendly bilingual website www.eztripmart.com, we provide organizations in China travel planning, hotel reservations, air-ticketing, rental car bookings and conference services. We also assist companies in planning, executing and streamlining their travel budgets through web-based functionalities tailored to our corporate customers. We also design and sell premium travel services and products that suit the needs of a growing number of high-net-worth individuals who have discriminating travel needs and demand more personalized services. We offer our services to users and clients through an advanced transaction and service platform consisting of centralized toll-free, 24-hour customer service center and websites.

We believe our approach is unique in the market because we have pioneered and combined innovative technologies to deliver what we believe to be the most comprehensive e-commerce solution in a traditionally inefficient and highly fragmented travel industry – one that, when considered as a whole, is competitively differentiated by its capabilities and feature set.

We will endeavor to sustain the long-term growth of our businesses and enhance our current solutions through technological innovation, selective and strategic acquisition of technology, talent and/or companies, and through a commitment to excellence in customer service. We expect to continue to make strategic investments in research and development of existing and new products. We believe that delivering innovative and high-value solutions is the key to meeting customer and partner needs and achieving our future growth.

Third Quarter Financial Performance Highlights

We continued to experience strong demand for our products and services during the third quarter of 2009, which resulted in continued growth in our revenues. Following are some financial highlights for the third quarter of 2009.

  • Net Revenues: Our net revenues were approximately $801,925 and $951,675 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, an increase from $0 and $0 for the same periods in 2008, respectively.
     

  • Net Loss: Net loss was approximately $88,899 and $746,980 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to net loss of $124,307 and $141,832 for the same periods in 2008, respectively.
     

  • Fully diluted net loss per share: Fully diluted net loss per share was $0.01 and $0.045 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to $0.01 and $0.01 for the same periods in 2008, respectively.

Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Performance

Global and Chinese Economic Environment and Demand for Travel Services

We expect that our financial results will continue to be affected by the overall growth rate of the economy and demand for travel services in China and the rest of the world. According to a 2007 report published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the gross domestic product, or GDP, of China grew from RMB11.7 trillion (approximately US$1.4 trillion) in 2003 to RMB30 trillion (approximately US$4.4 trillion) in 2008, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 10%. This growth led to a significant increase in the demand for travel services, and according to the China Tourism Statistical Bulletin 2008 published by China National Tourism Administration, or CNTA, domestic tourism spending grew from RMB344.2 billion (US$41.6 billion) in 2003 to RMB874.9 billion (US$105.7 billion) in 2008, representing a compound annual growth of 20.5% .

However, while we expect the overall demand for travel services in China to continue to increase in the foreseeable future as the economy in China continues to grow, the recent global financial crisis and economic slow-down could have a material and adverse effect on the travel industry in China, which in turn would cause a negative effect on our business. The recent global credit crunch is impacting travel spending in China. According to the China Tourism Statistical Bulletin 2008 published by CNTA, the number of inbound tourists in China and inbound tourism spending decreased by approximately 1.4% and 2.6%, respectively, in 2008 as compared to 2007, while domestic and outbound tourism remained reasonably strong due to the strength of the Chinese economy and its currency. The domestic and global economic uncertainties have led companies to increasingly rely on professional business travel management solutions to reduce travel spending, and consumers increasingly rely on the efficiency and transparency of the internet to find value when booking travel services and products and demand a higher quality of services. We expect that in the current economic environment, our operating results will increasingly depend on how well we capitalize on the efficiency of our online platforms and the quality of our services.

28


Seasonality in the Travel Service Industry

The travel service industry is characterized by seasonal fluctuations and accordingly our revenues may vary from quarter to quarter. To date, the revenues generated during the summer season of each year generally are higher than those generated during the winter season, mainly because the summer season coincides with the peak business and leisure travel season, while the winter season of each year includes the Chinese New Year holiday, during which our customers reduce their business activities. These seasonality trends are difficult to discern in our historical results because our revenues have grown substantially since inception. However, our future results may be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the use of our services by our customers.

Disruptions in the Travel Industry

Travelers tend to modify their travel plans based on the occurrence of events such as:

  • the outbreak of avian or swine influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or any other serious contagious diseases;
     

  • increased prices in the hotel, airline or other travel-related industries;
     

  • increased occurrence of travel-related accidents;
     

  • natural disasters or poor weather conditions;
     

  • terrorist attacks or threats of terrorist attacks or war; or
     

  • general economic downturns.

During the period from March 2003 through June 2003, the economies of several countries in Asia, including China, were severely affected by the outbreak of SARS. The travel services industry during that period was also adversely affected. From time to time, there have been reports on the occurrences of avian flu in various parts of China, including a few confirmed human cases and deaths. Since May 2009, there have been a significant number of confirmed human cases of swine flu in China, including at least one death. If there is a recurrence of an outbreak of SARS, a worsening of the swine flu outbreak or any similar outbreak of other contagious diseases such as avian flu, it may adversely affect the travel industry and have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Product Offering and Pricing

Currently, our revenues are generated predominantly through our travel related services and, to a lesser extent, our travel agency marketplace. As we do not pre-purchase the products and services being sold, we do not carry an inventory risk and our risk of loss due to obligations for cancelled hotel and airline ticket reservations is minimal.

Since the launch of our domestic air ticket marketplace in October 2008, our user base is growing at a rate of over 50% per month. In March 2009, we officially launched our travel agency marketplace with both domestic and international ticketing capabilities and expect to become a dominant player in B2B e-commerce platform for air ticket sales in China in terms of ticketing volume and revenue. As our user base and transaction volume on our marketplace continue to grow, revenues generated from our travel agency marketplace are expected to surpass those from our travel related services. Currently, we allow our users to search, find, communicate and conduct business with air ticket suppliers in our marketplace free of charge. When an air ticket is issued, we then charge a fee that is a fixed rate based on the amount of that transaction. We are monitoring the growth of our user base, transaction volume and overall market acceptability of our travel agency marketplace, and will review and evaluate our pricing structure and may make adjustments as appropriate to maximize our profitability.

29


Taxation

United States, British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong

We are subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as we have no income taxable in the United States. TripMart was incorporated in the BVI and under the current laws of the BVI, is not subject to income taxes. TripMart HK was incorporated in Hong Kong and under the current laws of Hong Kong, is subject to a Profits Tax of 16.5% . No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as TripMart HK has no taxable income.

China

Before the implementation of the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, or New EIT Law, described below, Foreign Invested Enterprises, or FIEs, established in the PRC were generally subject to an enterprise income tax, or EIT, rate of 33.0%, which includes a 30.0% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and on December 6, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the New EIT Law, or the Implementing Rules, which took effect on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT rate of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the old FIE tax laws, and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

Under the New EIT Law, companies designated as High- and New-Technology Enterprises may enjoy a reduced national enterprise income tax of 15%. We plan to apply for High- and New-Technology Enterprise designation for Suzhou TripMart. However, there can be no assurance that Suzhou TripMart will qualify as a High- and New-Technology Enterprise.

In addition to the new unified EIT rate, the New EIT Law and its Implementing Rules generally provide that a 10% withholding tax applies to China-sourced income derived by non-resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes unless the jurisdiction of incorporation of such enterprises’ shareholder has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Suzhou TripMart is considered an FIE and is directly held by our subsidiary in Hong Kong. According to a 2006 tax treaty between the Mainland and Hong Kong, dividends payable by an FIE in China to a company in Hong Kong who directly holds at least 25% of the equity interests in the FIE will be subject to a no more than 5% withholding tax. We expect that such 5% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid to TripMart by Suzhou TripMart, but this treatment will depend on our status as a non-resident enterprise.

Substantially all of our income may be derived from consulting and other fees paid to us by Shanghai TripMart, our VIE, and from dividends distributed to us by Suzhou TripMart, our PRC subsidiary. The consulting and other fees paid to us by Shanghai TripMart are subject to business tax and related surcharges at the applicable rate of 5.5% .

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25% on its global income. The Implementing Rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the New EIT Law and its implementation with respect to non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operation reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) ½ of directors with voting rights or senior management often reside in China. Such resident enterprise would be subject to an EIT rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC shareholders. However, detailed measures on imposition of tax on non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are not yet available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

30


Although we are a non-Chinese group controlled offshore entity, we may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its Implementing Rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax (under the Arrangement between the PRC and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion, dividends from our PRC subsidiary paid to us through our Hong Kong subsidiary will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 5%), as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 5% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares. We are actively monitoring the possibility of “resident enterprise” treatment and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to avoid this treatment, to the extent possible.

Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income and non-tax deductible expenses incurred. Our management carefully monitors these legal developments and will timely adjust our effective income tax rate when necessary.

Net Revenues. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, our net revenues increased to $801,925 and $951,675, respectively, from nil for the same respective periods last year. Such increase in net revenues is primarily due to our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations. We earned revenues substantially through a series of contractual arrangements between Suzhou TripMart and Shanghai TripMart, our VIE, from the business travel management, travel products and services and online travel agency marketplace business conducted by Shanghai TripMart. We earn additional consulting revenues from the management consulting services agreement and the technical services agreement we entered into on August 1, 2009 with Shanghai Junli. We expect to continue to experience substantial growth of our online travel agency marketplace and grow our business by offering more new products and services.

Selling Expenses. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, our selling expenses increased to $24,447 and $43,951, respectively, from nil for the same respective periods last year. Such increase in our selling expenses is primarily due to our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations. Our selling expenses consist mainly of advertising, marketing and promotional expenses.

31


General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our general and administrative expenses increased $736,942, or 593%, to $861,249, from $124,307 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our general and administrative expenses increased $1,496,646, or 1055%, to $1,638,483, from $141,837 for the same period last year. Such increase in our general and administrative expenses is primarily due to our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods due to the expansion of our business, the hiring of new officers, employees and consultants to help further develop and support our operations and the increase of legal and other professional fees.

Financial Expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, our financial expenses increased to $5,512 and $17,130, respectively, from nil for the same respective periods last year. Such increase in our financial expenses is primarily due to our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations. Our financial expenses consist mainly of interest on short-term working capital loans and a promissory note to a shareholder (on which interest will stop accruing beginning December 1, 2009).

Other Income (Net). For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our other income increased $384, or 100%, to $384 from Nil for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our other income increased $904 to $909, from $5 for the same period last year. The increase in our other income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008, is primarily due to our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations. Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on our bank cash balances.

Loss Before Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our loss before income taxes decreased $35,408, or 28%, to $88,899, from $124,307 for the same period last year. Such decrease in loss before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the additional management consulting and technical services fees we earned pursuant to our management consulting services agreement and technical services agreement with Shanghai Junli entered into on August 1, 2009, which additional incomes not only increased our total revenues and but also improved our net income for the current period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our loss before income taxes increased $605,148, or 427%, to $746,980, from $141,832 for the same period last year. Such increase in loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to the significant increase in our operating expenses discussed above as a result of our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations. In light of the weakened economic conditions and the expanded operations scale, we have implemented cost effective measures to maximize our benefits from general and administrative expenses that we incur.

Income Taxes. We incurred no income tax expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of our operating losses due to the significant increase in operating expenses discussed above, representing no change from the same period of last year.

Net Loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our net loss decreased $35,408, or 28%, to $88,899, from $124,307 for the same period last year. Such decrease in net loss before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the additional management consulting and technical services fees we earned pursuant to our management consulting services agreement and technical services agreement with Shanghai Junli entered into on August 1, 2009, which additional incomes not only increased our total revenues and but also improved our net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our net loss increased $605,148, or 427%, to $746,980, from $141,832 for the same period last year. Such increase in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to the significant increase in our operating expenses as discussed above as a result of our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $100,905. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report.

Cash Flow
(All amounts in U.S. dollars)

    Nine Months Ended September 30  
    2009     2008  
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $  146,389   $  (17,544 )
Net cash used in investing activities   (132,445 )   (1,985,958 )
Net cash provided by financing activities   58,997     2,017,649  
Effect of foreign currency translation in cash and cash equivalents   249     8,968  
Net cash flows $  73,190   $  23,115  

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $146,389 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $17,544 in the same period of last year. The increase is primarily a result of our VIE arrangement with Shanghai TripMart entered into on March 27, 2009, before which we were a shell company and had no operations.

In order to increase operational efficiency, we began implementation of a program in October 2009, aimed at improving the efficiency of extensions of credit and collection of accounts receivables, including the reduction or elimination of payment terms, as well as the gradual adoption third-party payment service.

Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $132,445, compared to $1,985,958 in the same period of last year. Due to our strategic drive to ramp up our business beginning the second half of 2008, we incurred significant capital expenditure and prepayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for the expansion of our operations through the development of our key IT technology, the lease of additional office space in downtown locations in Shanghai, and the acquisition of computer hardware and other office equipment for our call center. While we continued our operation expansion plan by acquiring office furniture and equipment and intangible assets, our capital expenditure during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was significantly lower compared to that in the same period of last year, which primarily attributed to the decrease of our net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from that in the same period of last year.

Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $58,997 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,958,652 from $2,017,649 in the same period of last year. This decrease was primarily due to additional funds required from a stockholder to meet the significant capital expenditure needs during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 which we did not experience in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Of our cash provided by financing activities, $733,150 was provided by a short-term unsecured loan from a financial institution, which was fully repaid on July 8, 2009.

Prior to November 2004, Bestway Coach Express, Inc., or Bestway, was our controlling stockholder. On November 19, 2004, Mr. Shu Keung Chui, our controlling stockholder and Chief Executive Officer, acquired all of the capital stock held by Bestway. In connection with that acquisition transaction, Mr. Chui took assignment of all of Bestway’s right, title and interest under a promissory note in the principal amount of $101,500, dated April 23, 2002, made by the Company in favor of Bestway. The principal amount under the note bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per year. From November 19, 2004, no principal payments have been made under the note. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the note accrued US$4,060 in interest. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding balance of the note payable to Mr. Chui, including accrued interest, was $161,938.

33


On November 16, 2009, Mr. Chui and the Company amended the note, such that the note becomes non-interest-bearing and is due and payable within 30 days of demand; provided, however that the note will become immediately due and payable in the event of a change in control of the Company.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $450,705 and $1,985,958 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our capital expenditures were mainly used to develop key IT technology and acquire office equipment and furniture and intangible assets in connection with our expansion of operations.

Mr. Chui from time to time paid legal and other expenses on behalf of the Company and provided funds to the Company for capital contribution to and acquisition of equity of Suzhou TripMart in 2008, which amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total expenses paid on behalf of the Company and funds advanced to the Company by Mr. Chui were $54,937 and are repayable to Mr. Chui as an unsecured and non-interest bearing demand loan.

We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet part of our present cash needs and we will require additional cash resources, including loans, to meet our expected capital expenditure and working capital for the next 12 months. We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our e-commerce platforms or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all, especially in view of the tight credit market resulted from the current global economic crisis. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Obligations Under Material Contracts

Our only purchase obligation relates to the utilization of a third-party technology as part of our software. Pursuant to our co-development agreement with Beijing Yulian Century Technology Development Co., Ltd., we pay a license fee at a rate of RMB30,000 (approximately, $4,392) per month until July, 2011 and the expected payment as of September 30, 2009 was $96,690 in total.

We lease office premises under two non-cancelable operating lease agreements that will expire in 2017. The minimum future lease payments under these operating lease agreements as of September 30, 2009 were $3,350,442. Rental expenses under these operating leases were $216,385 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Seasonality

The travel industry is generally characterized by seasonal fluctuations with higher traffic during holiday seasons. However, as we are still in the high growth phase, the rate of our revenue growth is expected to offset any impact caused by the seasonal nature of the travel industry. See “Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Performance – Seasonality in the Travel Service Industry” above.

Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change in travel industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

  • Use of estimates. The preparation of the financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

  • Trade accounts receivables. In the normal course of business, we extend credit to customers. Trade accounts receivables, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflect the net realizable value of receivables, and approximate fair value. On a regular basis, we evaluate our trade accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and payment history. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within the agreed upon invoice terms. Trade accounts receivables are charged off against the allowance after management determines the potential for recovery is remote.

  • Impairment of long-lived assets. Long-lived assets, except goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows estimated by our management to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

  • Property and equipment, net. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The principal depreciation rates are: office and computer equipment – 20% to 33%; motor vehicles –25%; leasehold improvements – over the term of the lease.

  • Revenue recognition. Our revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 are derived from travel and technical services and include (i) revenue reported at the difference between the selling price and the cost of the hotel rooms and tour packages of US$30,867; (ii) commissions from booking air and train tickets of US$297,689; (iii) transaction fees (net of third-party payment transaction charges) for air tickets sold on our online travel agency marketplace of US$71,571; and (iv) service fees for management consulting and technical services of US$146,610 and $404,938, respectively, in accordance with the respective terms of the management consulting and technical services agreements. We recognize such revenues if and when the customer’s non-refundable offer is fulfilled or air-ticketing is transacted on our online ticketing platform, or the management consulting and technical services are rendered in accordance with the terms of the relevant management consulting and technical services agreements.

  • Intangible assets. Intangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization. The costs of the intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives at the annual rate of 20%, except as to development projects in progress.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2009-1)

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board, or FASB, approved its Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification, as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all nongovernmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification.

As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In these financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.

Noncontrolling Interests (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51)

The amended topic establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, previously SFAS No. 141(R))

This ASC guidance addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. The adoption of this amended topic has no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Included in amended Topic ASC 350, previously FASB Staff Position, or FSP, No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”)

The amended topic amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The amended topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Business Combinations (Included in amended Topic ASC 805, previously FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”)

Amended topic ASC 805 amends the requirements for the provisions for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The amended topic eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria and instead carries forward most of the provisions for acquired contingencies. The amended topic is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired from business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Included in amended Topic ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1)

This guidance requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. The amended topic was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

36


Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Included in amended Topic ASC 820, previously FSP No. 157-4 “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”)

The amended topic clarifies when markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real” value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair value. The amended topic identifies factors to be considered when determining whether or not a market is inactive. The amended topic is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amended topic has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Subsequent Events (Included in amended Topic ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165)

The amended topic establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events. The amended topic details the period after the balance sheet date during which the Company should evaluate events or transactions that occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which the Company should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the required disclosures for such events. The Company adopted this amended topic effective June 1, 2009.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (Included in amended Topic ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, previously SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”)

The amended topic addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Also, the amended topic removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - Amended (Included in amended Topic ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)

The amended topic require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amended topic also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The amended topic is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amended topic on the Company’s financial statements.
