1.
Organization and nature of operations
 
Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of denim fabrics and garments.  The Group owns production plants in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and its customers are mainly in the United States, Europe and Japan.
 
On October 25, 2007, Freedom 3, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Freedom 3”), sold one share of its common stock to Sound Worldwide Limited (“Sound Worldwide” or “SWL”) for $1.00 and redeemed 100,000 shares of its common stock from its prior sole stockholder constituting 100% of Freedom 3’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock prior to the sale, resulting in Sound Worldwide owning 100% of Freedom 3. After the sale and redemption by Freedom 3, Sound Worldwide and Freedom 3 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2007, or Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Sound Worldwide’s common stock and preferred stock was converted into 350 shares of Freedom 3’s common stock and preferred stock, respectively, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sound Worldwide’s common and preferred stock were retired and cancelled, resulting in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide (the “Exchange”). This resulted in the stockholders of Sound Worldwide to become stockholders of Freedom 3. The previous stockholder of Freedom was then issued 300,000 shares of Freedom 3 as agreed previously. The one share of Freedom’s common stock held by Sound Worldwide was then cancelled and Sound Worldwide sold one share of its common stock to Freedom 3, which resulted in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide. Freedom 3 then changed its name to Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
 
For accounting purposes, the Exchange has been treated as an acquisition of Freedom 3 by Sound Worldwide and as a recapitalization of Sound Worldwide (i.e. a “reverse acquisition”), in which Sound Worldwide was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. As a result of the Exchange, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the transaction are those of Sound Worldwide, as the accounting acquirer, and all references to the consolidated financial statements of the Company apply to the historical financial statements of Sound Worldwide prior to the transaction and the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the transaction. The Company’s shares have been restated retroactively to reflect the share exchange ratio as at the date of the transaction in a manner similar to a stock split.

On May 27, 2008, the Company and SWL, entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Best Allied, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWL, and Ms. Ivy S.K. Lam, a director and officer of Best Allied and a stockholder of an aggregate of 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at a closing held on May 30, 2008, Ms. Lam purchased from the Company and SWL 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Best Allied owned by SWL, which constituted 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Best Allied, in exchange for 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam, which constituted 100% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam (the “Exchange”). The effective date of the Exchange is April 1, 2008.

Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Lam had agreed to the return and cancellation of 6,063,750 shares of our common stock held by her.

Summary of principal accounting policies

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the years are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.

The Company also evaluates consolidation of entities under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No.46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires management to evaluate whether an entity or interest is a variable interest entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Consolidation is required if both of these criteria are met. The Company does not have any variable interest entities requiring consolidation.

On June 29, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for all nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP but takes previously issued FASB standards and other U.S. GAAP authoritative pronouncements, changes the way the standards are referred to, and includes them in specific topic areas. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Summary of principal accounting policies (continued)

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.  These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Trade accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end.  An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables.  Bad debts are written off when identified.  The Group extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible.  The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.

Inventory

Inventories, which primarily consist of yarns, denim fabrics, garments and other textile materials and products, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.  Write down of potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is recorded based on management’s assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Summary of principal accounting policies (Continued)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.  Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.

Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:-

Office unit
5 years
Machinery
Furniture and office equipment
Motor vehicles
5-10 years
5 years
5 years
   

Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 360 (ASC 360) “Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall” (Formerly known as SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ), long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 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 an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the period presented.

Revenue recognition
 
The Company recognized revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) our price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured.  These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment.  The Company does not recognize revenue until all customer acceptance requirements have been met and no significant obligations remain, when applicable.  Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement.  Shipping documents are used to verify product delivery.  The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.  The Company assesses the collectability of the accounts receivable based primarily upon the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

Sales of goods represent the invoiced values of goods, net of sales returns, trade discounts and allowances.  The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded.  The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.  The amounts of reductions to revenue were $Nil and $2,751 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Shipping and handling fees and costs

Costs incurred by the Group for shipping and handling, including costs paid to third-party transportation companies, to transport and deliver products to customers, are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. Shipping and handling fees and costs amounted to $3,455 and $9,381 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740 (ASC 740) “Income taxes”, (Formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“FIN 48”)).  ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  This interpretation requires that an entity recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.  The adoption of ASC 740 did not have any impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive income represented foreign currency translation adjustment.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Group is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”).  The Group maintains its financial statements in the functional currency.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates.  Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction.  Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

In translating the financial statements of the Company from its functional currency into its reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity.

Share-based compensation

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718) “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Formerly known as SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”)). Under ASC 718, the Group measures the cost of employee and consultant services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the costs over the period the employee or consultant is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.

Share-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $95,042 and $nil, respectively. Since share-based compensation is not tax deductible in Hong Kong, the PRC and the United States, no related tax benefit has been recognized.
 
Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonable estimated.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) (formerly included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations) contains guidance that was issued by the FASB in December 2007. It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with certain exceptions. Additionally, the guidance requires changes to the accounting treatment of acquisition related items, including, among other items, transaction costs, contingent consideration, restructuring costs, indemnification assets and tax benefits. ASC 805 also provides for a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. ASC 805 also contains guidance that was formerly issued as FSP FAS 141(R), Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies which was intended to provide additional guidance clarifying application issues regarding initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805 was effective for business combinations initiated on or after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2009. Implementing this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however it will likely have an impact on the Company’s accounting for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions, if any, that are made in the future.
 
ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized”. Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of April 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Share based compensation

On March 9, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options, and for the issuance of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and performance shares. The purpose of the 2009 Incentive Plan is to provide additional incentive to employees, directors, advisors and consultants. The 2009 Incentive Plan provides for a term of 10 years from the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, after which no awards may be made, unless the 2009 Incentive Plan is early terminated by the Board.

A summary of non-vested equity share units issued under the 2009 Incentive Plan is as follows:

Comprehensive (loss)/income

Other comprehensive (loss)/income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive (loss)/income but are excluded from net (loss)/income as these amounts are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Fair value measurement

A significant number of the Company’s financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 820 (ASC 820), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (Formerly known as SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement”). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation techniques. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of the SEC. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.
 
In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
 
Organizational History and Operations
 
Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of denim fabrics and garments. The Group owns production plants in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China and its customers are mainly in the United States, Europe and Japan.
 
On October 25, 2007, Freedom 3, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Freedom 3”), sold one share of its common stock to Sound Worldwide Limited (“Sound Worldwide” or “SWL”) for $1.00 and redeemed 100,000 shares of its common stock from its prior sole stockholder constituting 100% of Freedom 3’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock prior to the sale, resulting in Sound Worldwide owning 100% of Freedom 3. After the sale and redemption by Freedom 3, Sound Worldwide and Freedom 3 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2007, or Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Sound Worldwide’s common stock and preferred stock was converted into 350 shares of Freedom 3’s common stock and preferred stock, respectively, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sound Worldwide’s common and preferred stock were retired and cancelled, resulting in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide (the “Exchange”). This resulted in the stockholders of Sound Worldwide to become stockholders of Freedom 3. The previous stockholder of Freedom was then issued 300,000 shares of Freedom 3 as agreed previously. The one share of Freedom’s common stock held by Sound Worldwide was then cancelled and Sound Worldwide sold one share of its common stock to Freedom 3, which resulted in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide. Freedom 3 then changed its name to Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
 
 
20

  
For accounting purposes, the Exchange has been treated as an acquisition of Freedom 3 by Sound Worldwide and as a recapitalization of Sound Worldwide (i.e. a "reverse acquisition"), in which Sound Worldwide was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. As a result of the Exchange, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the transaction are those of Sound Worldwide, as the accounting acquirer, and all references to the consolidated financial statements of the Company apply to the historical financial statements of Sound Worldwide prior to the transaction and the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the transaction. The Company’s shares have been restated retroactively to reflect the share exchange ratio as at the date of the transaction in a manner similar to a stock split.
 
On May 27, 2008, the Company and SWL, entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Best Allied, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWL, and Ms. Ivy S.K. Lam, a director and officer of Best Allied and a stockholder of an aggregate of 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at a closing held on May 30, 2008, Ms. Lam purchased from the Company and SWL 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Best Allied owned by SWL, which constituted 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Best Allied, in exchange for 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam, which constituted 100% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam (the “Exchange”). The effective date of the Exchange is April 1, 2008.
 
Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Lam had agreed to the return and cancellation of 6,063,750 shares of our common stock held by her.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the subsidiaries of the Company include the following:
 
þ Sound Worldwide Limited (“SWL”), incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 28, 1999, 100% of which is owned by the Company. SWL’s primary business is as an investment holding company;
 
þ Asian Point Investment Limited (“Asian Point”) , incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on March 26, 1997, 100% of which is owned by the Company. Asian Point’s primary business is manufacturing and trading denim fabrics.
 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognized revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) our price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. The Company does not recognize revenue until all customer acceptance requirements have been met and no significant obligations remain, when applicable. Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents are used to verify product delivery. The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses the collectability of the accounts receivable based primarily upon the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.
 
Sales of Goods represent the invoiced values of goods, net of sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time. The amounts of reductions to revenue were $2,571 and $27,005 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Trade Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Group extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories, which primarily consist of yarns, denim fabrics, garments and other textile materials and products, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Write down of potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is recorded based on management’s assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Share-based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Group adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). Under SFAS No. 123R, the Group measures the cost of employee and consultant services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the costs over the period the employee or consultant is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.

Accounts receivable, decreased from $1,538,779 as of March 31, 2009 to $1,481,299 as of December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue. The Group has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount.

Inventories
 
At December 31, 2009, we did not have any inventory on hand, compared to $137,260 at March 31, 2009. Our inventories consist of raw materials, products which are work-in-progress, and finished goods. Our raw materials decreased from $53,100 at March 31, 2009 to $nil at December 31, 2009 primarily due to the decrease in purchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the last quarter ended March 31, 2009. Our Work-in-Progress inventory recorded $0 both at March 31 and December 31, 2009. Our Finished Goods decreased from $84,160 to nil primarily due to more goods delivered to the customers near quarter ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the year ended March 31, 2009. No inventories were written off for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Current Liabilities
 
Total current liabilities, consisting of accounts payable, bank and other borrowings and accrued expenses and other liabilities, decreased from $587,750 as of March 31, 2009 to $240,379 as of December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily contributed by the decrease in bank borrowings.
 
Accounts Payable
 
Accounts payable, which typically operates on a monthly cycle, increased from $43,178 as of March 31, 2009 to $91,094 as of December 31, 2009. The increase was mainly due to the longer credit terms granted by the material suppliers.
 
Bank and Other Borrowings
 
Bank and other borrowings, which consist of bank overdrafts and other borrowings, decreased from $340,066 as of March 31, 2009 to $nil as of December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to repayment of all bank borrowings during the nine months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Banking Facilities:
 
At December 31, 2009, the group did not incur any bank borrowing and was not granted any banking or credit facilities.

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
 
Accrued expenses decreased from $204,506 as of March 31, 2009 to $149,285 as of December 31, 2009. Accrued expenses consist of legal and professional fees, accrued staff related costs and other accruals and liabilities. Other accruals and liabilities consist of payables on general administrative and selling expenses. The decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities was primarily due to fewer invoices received and unpaid near quarter ended December 31, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $346,768 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, which was a decrease from the net cash provided by operating activities, which totaled $1,122,592 for the same period of 2008. This net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable and a decrease in inventory level, but offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable and other receivables.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $nil for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the net cash used in investing activities of $389,520 for nine months ended December 31, 2008. The use of cash from investing activities represented purchases of property and equipment. 
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $340,158 for nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $939,765 used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The net cash used in financing activities was due to a net repayment of bank borrowings of $340,158 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to a net repayment of bank borrowings of $939,765 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

We were not impacted by inflation during the past two fiscal years in any material respect. Interest rate hikes have increased the rental cost of our vault cash. As the interest rates increase and vault cash costs increase, this will have a less favorable impact on our income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
 
On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of GAAP to be applied to nongovernmental agencies. ASC 105 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented hereby.
 
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”). The pronouncement modifies the definition of what qualifies as a subsequent event—those events or transactions that occur following the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, or are available to be issued—and requires companies to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for determining that date. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 in the second quarter of 2009, in accordance with the effective date.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management team, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report, September 30, 2009.  The term disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009.

Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f).  Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer  are required to base their assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control framework, such as the framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO).  The COSO framework, published in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, is known as the COSO Report.  Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, have chosen the COSO framework on which to base their assessment.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company's operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
 

 
28

 


It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the Quarter ended December 31, 2009, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, including but not limited, to the following:


Our Common Stock Is Subject To Penny Stock Regulation

Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
 
FINRA Sales Practice Requirements May Also Limit A Stockholder's Ability To Buy And Sell Our Stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
We May Not Have Access To Sufficient Capital To Pursue Our Business And Therefore Would Be Unable To Achieve Our Planned Future Growth.
 
We intend to pursue a growth strategy that includes development of the Company business and technology.  Currently we have limited capital which is insufficient to pursue our plans for development and growth.  Our ability to implement our growth plans will depend primarily on our ability to obtain additional private or public equity or debt financing.  We are currently seeking additional capital.  Such financing may not be available at all, or we may be unable to locate and secure additional capital on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us.  Our failure to obtain additional capital will have a material adverse effect on our business.

Failure To Achieve And Maintain Effective Internal Controls In Accordance With Section 404 Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business And Operating Results.
 
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies.
 
If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
 
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending December 31, 2009, we will be required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting and beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending December 31, 2009, furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. We have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to result in increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While our management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete this important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objective on a timely basis. There also can be no assurance that our auditors will be able to issue an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
 
In addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses” in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
 
In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.
 

 
31

 

 
Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
 
Risks Related to the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”)
 
Certain political and economic considerations relating to PRC could adversely affect our company.
 
The PRC is passing from a planned economy to a market economy. The Chinese government has confirmed that economic development will follow a model of market economy under socialism. While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans adopted by the government that set down national economic development goals. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms are unprecedented or experimental for the PRC government, and are expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, which we may not be able to foresee, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, and imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.
 
The recent nature and uncertain application of many PRC laws applicable to us create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.
 
The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, such as the legal system used in the United States, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in the PRC and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could have a negative impact on our business and business prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.
 
If relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may decrease and we may have difficulty accessing the U.S. capital markets.
 
At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.
 
Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
 
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Currently, the Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans and corporate debt obligations denominated in foreign currencies.

 
32

 

 
The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain of our expenses as they come due.
 
It may be difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon our company and our officers and directors because some of them reside outside the United States.
 
As our operations are presently based in China and some of our key directors and officers reside outside the United States, service of process on our key directors and officers may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States and any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States. We have appointed Norbert Sporns, our Chief Executive Officer and President, as our agent to receive service of process in any action against our company in the United States.
