PART I
Item 1. | Business. |
Chinawe.com Inc. (the Company, Chinawe or we), formerly known as Neo Modern Entertainment
Corp., was formed pursuant to the corporation laws of the State of California on March 19, 1997.
Effective March 27, 2009, the Company ceased providing professional management services relating to
non-performing loans (NPL or NPLs) in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). The Company has
terminated its employees and closed down its offices. The Company is currently seeking one or more
new lines of business that it can enter into. The Company has not identified a specific line of
business or territory for any such new business. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in identifying a new line of business that it can enter into or that if such new line
of business is identified, that the Company will have adequate funding to commence operations of
the new line of business. Management of the Company currently intends to continue to fund the
expenses of the Company until a new line of business has been identified. See Risk Factors and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Through March 27, 2009, Chinawes principal business was the provision of professional management
services relating to NPLs in the PRC. The Companys professional service platform provided a
comprehensive solutions to NPL assets, either by expediting ownership transactions between the
portfolio owners and their purchasers, or by negotiating with the relevant debtors to facilitate
financial restructurings.
On February 24, 2009, Huizhou One Limited (Huizhou), an indirect subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.,
notified Chinawe Asset Management (PRC) Limited (CAM), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
that it was terminating the Master Consulting Agreement, dated September 22, 2005 and the Amendment
Letter, dated May 28, 2007, between Huizhou and CAM, effective March 26, 2009. On March 20, 2009,
Huizhou notified CAM that it was terminating the Master Asset Consulting Agreement dated April 20,
2005 and the Amendment Letters dated November 2, 2005, November 1, 2006 and March 18, 2008 between
Huizhou and CAM, effective March 27, 2009.
Huizhou had retained CAM, pursuant to the Master Consulting Agreements, to manage portfolios of
NPLs in the PRC owned by Huizhou. In each case, the agreements were terminated by Huizhou pursuant
to provisions allowing termination at the convenience of Huizhou. Prior to such terminations, CAM
managed the portfolio of NPLs owned by Huizhou pursuant to the Master Consulting Agreements, as
discussed in the Companys prior Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Company is currently suspended in the State of California due to failure to file reports with
the Franchise Tax Board. The Company is in the process of preparing the relevant reports and
expects to be back in good standing shortly. The Company believes that the amount of taxes and
penalties owed will be material to the financial statements.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
Set forth below are certain risks and uncertainties relating to our business. These are not the
only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us
or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
RISK RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY HAS NO OPERATING BUSINESS
The Company is currently seeking one or more lines of business that it can enter into. The
Company, however, has not identified a specific line of business or territory for any such new
business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying a new line
of business that it can enter into or that it will be successful in operating any such new
business. If we do not successfully address these risks and uncertainties, our financial condition
will be materially adversely affected and the Company may have to dissolve.
WE WILL REQUIRE FUNDS TO FINANCE ENTRY INTO A NEW LINE OF BUSINESS
We will need financing to enter into a new line of business. We may seek to obtain such funds
through sales of equity and/or debt, or other external financing in order to fund any new
operations. We cannot assure that any capital resources will be available to us, or, if available,
will be on terms that will be acceptable to us. Any equity financing will dilute the equity
interests of existing security holders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on
acceptable terms, our ability to execute any new business plan and our business will be materially
and adversely affected. Management has in the past advanced funds to the Company to continue its
operations. Although management has indicated that it will continue to fund the Company while the
Company searches for a new line of business, there can be no assurance that management will
continue to so fund the Company until a new line of business is located.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR STOCK
POSSIBLE DELISTING OF OUR STOCK FROM TRADING ON THE ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD
Our common stock is listed on the electronic bulletin board of the over-the-counter market. Once
delisted, we cannot predict when, if ever, our class of common stock would be re-listed for trading
on the electronic bulletin board or any other market or exchange as the approval to re-list the
common stock is subject to review by applicable regulatory authorities.
BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE IS BELOW $5.00, WE ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RULES AND REGULATIONS.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a penny stock to be any equity security
that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
Our common stock presently is a penny stock. Because our stock is a penny stock, it is subject
to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. There can be no assurance that the
Common Stock will trade for $5.00 or more per share, or if so, when.
Absent NASDAQ Capital Market or other NASDAQ or stock exchange listing, trading, if any, in common
stock will, as it presently is, continue on the OTC Bulletin Board administered by the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA. As a result, you may find it difficult to dispose
of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the Common Stock.

Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains
forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results to differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in
Risk Factors and elsewhere in this document.
Overview Results of Operations
The Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company
reported a net loss of US$462,276 and as of December 31, 2009 had a negative working capital and
stockholders deficit of US$2,168,989 and US$2,165,782, respectively.
Effective March 27, 2009, the Company ceased providing professional management services relating to
NPLs in the PRC. The Company has terminated its employees and closed down its offices. The
Company is currently seeking one or more new lines of business that it can enter into. The Company
has not identified a specific line of business or territory for any such new business. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying a new line of business that it
can enter into or that if such new line of business is identified, that the Company will have
adequate funding to commence operations of a new line of business. Management of the Company
currently intends to continue to fund the expenses of the Company until a new line of business has
been identified. See Risk Factors.
Year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008
Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were US$131, 462 as compared to
US$745,425 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of 82.36%. As the Company discontinued
its sole business with Huizhou One Limited in March 2009, and the Company has not generated new
business in this field.
Expenses. Administrative and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were
US$481,574, decreased by 50.68% as compared to US$976,434, for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The decrease in salary paid to employees, reduce in rental fee to branch offices and decrease in
motor vehicle expenses were the main reasons for the total decrease of US$494,860 for the year
ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.
Taxation. No income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was incurred because the
PRC enterprise incurred a loss from asset management and related services earned in the PRC.
As a consequence of the foregoing, we had a loss from operations for the year ended December
31, 2009 of US$359,639 as compared to loss from operations of US$290,046 for the year ended
December 31, 2008. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was US$462,276, as compared to
net loss of US$397,508 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2009,
the Company reported a net loss of US$462,276 and as of December 31, 2009 had a negative working
capital and a stockholders deficit of US$2,168,989 and
US$2,165,782, respectively. The Company has
relied on private financing by advances from
the principal stockholders of the Company, who have agreed not to demand repayment of amounts due
to them as long as the Company has negative working capital. These stockholders have indicated
their intention to finance the Company for a reasonable period of time to enable the Company to
continue as a going concern, assuming that in such a period of time the Company would not be able
to raise additional capital to support its continuation. However, it is uncertain for how long or
to what extent such a period of time would be reasonable and there can be no assurance that the
financing from these stockholders will be continued. The accompanying financial statements do not
include or reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require
management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of
the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently
affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition. The Company currently has no operating business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
that are material to the Company.
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
Not applicable.
Item 8. | Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. |
The financial statements required by this Item are set forth at the pages indicated in Item 13 in
this Report.
Item 9. | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. |
The Board of Directors (the Board) of the Company, effective March 9, 2010, dismissed Mazars CPA
Limited (Mazars), as the Companys independent auditors. Mazars had been the Companys auditors
since June 29, 2007. The Board dismissed Mazars in order to engage less costly independent
auditors.
Mazars audit report on the Companys consolidated financial statements for each of the past two
fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Mazars reports on
the Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
included an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to the Companys ability to
continue as a going concern.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period on or
prior to March 9, 2010, (a) there were no disagreements between the Company and Mazars on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Mazars, would have caused
Mazars to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report; and (b) no reportable events as set forth in Item
304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K have occurred.
4
The Board appointed Parker Randall CF (H. K.) CPA Limited (Parker Randall) as the Companys new
independent auditors (the New Auditors), effective from March 15, 2010.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period on or prior to
March 15, 2010, the Company did not consult with Parker Randall regarding any of the matters or
events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures. |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon this evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms
and which also are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company
in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws
and regulations. The Companys internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in
the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting is as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. We believe that our internal control
over financial reporting is effective. We have not identified any current material weaknesses
considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial
reporting under current operations.
5
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting for the year ended
December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Under Federal securities laws, the Companys directors, its executive officers and any person
holding more than 10% of the Companys common stock are required to report their ownership of the
Companys common stock and any changes in that ownership to the SEC on the SECs Forms 3, 4 and 5.

transactions in the Companys common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of its directors, officers (including
its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and any person performing similar
functions) and employees. The Company has filed a copy of this Code of Ethics as Exhibit 14 to its
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Company does not have a standing Audit Committee and, accordingly, does not have an Audit
Committee Financial Expert within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Item 11. | Executive Compensation. |
The Companys philosophy is to maintain a peer-based executive compensation program comprised of
fixed and performance variable elements. The design and operation of the program reflect the
following objectives:
| Recruiting and retaining talented leadership. |
| Implementing measurable performance targets. |
| Correlating compensation directly with shareowner value. |
| Emphasizing performance based compensation, progressively weighted with seniority level. |
| Adherence to high ethical, safety and leadership standards. |
Designing a Competitive Compensation Package
Recruitment and retention of leadership to manage our Company requires a competitive compensation
package. Our Board of Directors emphasizes (i) fixed compensation elements of base salary, and (ii)
variable compensation contingent on above-target performance.
Fixed Compensation
The principal element of fixed compensation not directly linked to performance targets is the base
salary. We target the value of fixed compensation generally at the median of our compensation peer
group to facilitate a competitive recruitment and retention strategy.
8
Incentive Compensation
Our incentive compensation programs are linked directly to earnings growth, cash flow and total
shareowner return.
Employment Agreements
Our executives do not have the typical employment agreements that specify compensation or length of
employment. These matters are left to the discretion of the Board of Directors and the employee. At
present, there are no employment contracts with any of our executives.
No compensation was paid to the Chief Executive Officer during the years ended December 31, 2009
and December 31, 2008. No other executive officer received a total annual salary and bonus
exceeding $100,000 during either of such years.

On July 25, 2001, the Board adopted the 2001 Restricted Stock Plan (the Plan). The
purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term growth of the Company by making awards of Common
Stock to key employees and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The Plan is administered by the Board. The Board is authorized, subject
to the provisions of the Plan, to (i) select the participants; (ii) determine the number of shares
of Common Stock to be awarded to each of the participants and the terms and conditions on which
such awards will be made; (iii) establish from time to time regulations for the administration of
the Plan; (iv) interpret the Plan; and (v) make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan.
5,000,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for award under the Plan. At the time of an award of
restricted stock, the Board will establish for each participant one or more restricted periods
during which shares of Common Stock awarded under the Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, except as described below; provided, however, that
the Board may, in its discretion, accelerate such restricted periods with respect to outstanding
awards of restricted stock. Except for such restrictions, the participant as owner of restricted
stock shall have all the rights of a stockholder including but not limited to the right to receive
all dividends paid on such shares and the right to vote such shares.
Upon the death, retirement or permanent disability of a participant, upon the involuntary
termination by the Company or any subsidiary for reasons other than cause, or upon the sale of
assets of the Company or the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation and
the terms of such sale, merger or consolidation do not entitle the participant to shares of the
purchasing, surviving or resulting corporation, all of such shares shall be free of such
restrictions. If the participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for
any other reason, then all unvested shares of restricted stock therefore awarded to him, will upon
such termination of employment be forfeited and returned to the Company and available for award to
another participant.
10
An award of restricted stock shall not be effective unless the participant enters into an agreement
with the Company in a form specified by the Board agreeing to the terms, conditions and
restrictions of the award and such other matters as the Board shall in its sole discretion
determine.
At the expiration of a restricted period, the Company will deliver to the participant (or his legal
representatives, beneficiaries or heir) the certificates of Common Stock held by the Company for
which such restricted period has terminated.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be awarded under the Plan will be
appropriately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the total number of shares of the Companys
Common Stock resulting from a division or combination of shares or other capital adjustment; or
resulting from the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or decrease in such shares by the
Company.
The Board may amend the Plan
from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable, provided that no change may be made in any award theretofore granted
which would impair the rights of a participant, without consent of the participant. The Board may
amend agreements between participants and the Company from time to time as the Board may deem
advisable, provided that no change may be made in any award theretofore granted which would impair
the rights of a participant without the written consent of the participant.
The Board may at any time terminate the Plan. Any such termination will not affect
awards already in effect and such awards shall remain in full force and effect as if the Plan had
not been terminated.
No awards may be made under the Plan subsequent to December 31, 2011. No awards have been made
under the Plan as of the date of this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
CHINAWE.COM INC.
CHINAWE.COM INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chinawe.com Inc. (the Company) as
of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as
a going concern. As discussed in Note 2(b) to the financial statements, the Company had negative
working capital and stockholders deficit as of December 31, 2009 of US$2,168,989 and US$2,165,781,
respectively, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2(b). The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CHINAWE.COM INC.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Chinawe.com Inc. (Chinawe) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California. Chinawes
principal business activity is providing professional management services relating to
non-performing loans (NPLs) in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), as well as other
consulting services.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chinawe and the following
subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company):
Officeway Technology Limited; a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in December
1999, which was formed for the purpose of acquiring (in March 2000) its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Chinawe Asset Management Limited (CAM (HK)).
CAM (HK); a company incorporated in Hong Kong in June 1997, which is an investment holding company.
Chinawe Asset Management (PRC) Limited (CAM (PRC)) was established in the PRC in April 2005 to
service the NPLs under service agreements with Huizhou One Limited (HOL), a subsidiary of
Citigroup Financial Products Inc. (CFP),which accounted for 100% of the revenue from assets
management and related service for the years ended December 31, 2009. There is no substantial
business being operated by the Company currently.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (US). The functional currency of its major subsidiary
is Renminbi (RMB). The financial statements are presented in US dollars (US$).
(b) Going concern considerations
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had negative working capital and stockholders
deficit of US$2,168,989 and US$2,165,781, respectively, which raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has relied on private financing by advances
from the principal stockholders of the Company, who have agreed not to demand repayment of amounts
due to them as long as the Company has negative working capital. These stockholders have indicated
their intention to finance the Company for a reasonable period of time to enable the Company to
continue as a going concern, assuming that in such a period of time the Company would not be able
to raise additional capital to support its continuation. However, it is uncertain for how long or
to what extent such a period of time would be reasonable and there can be no assurance that the
financing from these stockholders will be continued. The accompanying financial statements do not
include or reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
F-8
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Principles of consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Chinawe and its subsidiaries. All material
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash to be cash equivalents.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset using
annual percentage rates as follows:
Office equipment |
30 | % | ||
Computer equipment |
30 | % | ||
Leasehold improvements |
20 | % | ||
Motor vehicles |
30 | % |
(f) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is
reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other
industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing
the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the
assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured
by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recoverable amount of the
assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value
less costs to sell.
(g) Revenue recognition
The Company has no substantial business currently.
(h) Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing
company are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are recorded
in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(i) Income taxes
Provision for income and other taxes has been made in accordance with the tax rates and laws of the
countries in which the Company operates.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. 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.
(j) Earnings (loss) per common share
Basic earnings (loss) per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all
potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the
effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. The Company had no potential common
stock instruments which would result in diluted earnings (loss) per share in 2009 or 2008.
(k) Foreign currency translation
The Companys functional currency is Renminbi, which is the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Company operates. For group reporting purposes, the amounts shown in the
financial statements are presented in US dollars (reporting currency).
For translation of financial statements into the reporting currency, assets and liabilities for
each balance sheet presented are translated at the rates of exchange existing at the year end.
Income and expenses for each income statement presented are translated at the average rates during
the year. Resulting exchange differences are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income
within stockholders equity.
(l) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the US requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Such estimates includes provisions for doubtful accounts, sales returns and allowances, impairment
of long-lived assets and incomes taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(m) Fair value of financial instruments
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based
on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with
precision. The
estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments, which include cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and related party balances, approximate their carrying
value in the financial statements.
F-10
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(n) Comprehensive income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
establishes requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income which includes certain items
previously not included in the statements of operations, including minimum pension liability
adjustments and foreign currency translation adjustments, among others. The Companys components
of comprehensive income include net loss for the year and a foreign currency translation
adjustment.
(o) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to
control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial
and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common
control or common significant influence.
(p) New accounting pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued FSP 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity For the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4
provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume
and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also
includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP
157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. FSP 157-4 does not require disclosures
for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after
initial adoption, FSP 157-4 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial
adoption. The adoption of the provisions of FSP 157-4 is not anticipated to materially impact the
Companys results of operations or the fair values of its assets and liabilities.
In May 2009, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards for accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are
issued or available to be issued and was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June
15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have an impact on the Companys results of
operations or financial condition. The Company evaluated all subsequent events that occurred from
January 1, 2010 through January 30, 2010, inclusive, and did not find any material subsequent
events are required to disclose.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 Accounting For Transfers Of Financial Assets (SFAS
166). This statement is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a
transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferors
continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This Statement must be applied as of the
beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Earlier application is prohibited. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or
after the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 166 to have a material
impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
F-11
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.46(R), which is
codified as ASC 810. ASC 810 amends FASB Interpretation No.46(R), Variable Interest Entities for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity (VIE) and requires an enterprise to
perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a
controlling financial interest in a VIE. Under ASC 810, an enterprise has a controlling financial
interest when it has a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact
the entitys economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right
to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ASC 810 also
requires an enterprise to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that
a VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has power to direct the activities of the
VIE that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. ASC 810 also requires ongoing
assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, requires enhanced
disclosures and eliminates the scope exclusion for qualifying special-purpose entities. ASC 810
shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period
that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period,
and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. ASC 810
is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently
evaluating the effect of ASC 810 on its financial statements and results of operations and is
currently not yet in a position to determine such effect.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-05, Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value, which is codified as ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures. This Update provides amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This Update provides
clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical
liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation
technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted
prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or that is consistent
with the principles of ASC 820. The amendments in this Update also clarify that when estimating the
fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or
adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents transfer of the
liability. The amendments in this Update also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market
for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical
liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of
the assets are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. ASC 820 is effective for the first
reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after August 28, 2009. The adoption of this
Update did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by
Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (ASU 2009-17). ASU 2009-17 amends the
variable-interest entity guidance in FASB ASC 810-10-05-8 to clarify the accounting treatment for
legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to
finance its activities without financial support. ASU 2009-17 shall be effective as of the
beginning of each reporting entitys first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. ASU 2009-17 is effective for the
Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of ASU
2009-17 on its financial statements and results of operations and is currently not yet in a
position to determine such effects.
F-12
None of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be applicable
to the Companys future financial reporting.

5. | INCOME TAXES |
It is managements intention to reinvest all the income attributable to the Company earned by its
operations outside the US. Accordingly, no US corporate income taxes are provided for in these
financial statements.
The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the
tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.
Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands (the BVI), dividends and capital gains
arising from the Companys investments in the BVI are not subject to income taxes and no
withholding tax is imposed on payments of dividends to the Company.
Companies that carry on business and derive income in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong income tax
at 16.5% and 16.5% for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Companies that

years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
No income taxes have been provided for the Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries as they have incurred
losses for taxation purpose in current year.

of approximately US$1,420,842 and US$1,149,455, respectively. The operating loss in Hong Kong has
no expiry
date and the operating loss in PRC will expire five years after the loss was incurred. Management
has provided a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset as it is more likely than not
that the asset will not be realized.
6. RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS

Note:
(a) | The amount due to the director was unsecured, interest bearing at 23% per annum and repayable
on demand. On July 1, 2008, the director assigned the amount due to her to a stockholder who
is also a director of the Company. The stockholder has agreed not to demand repayment of this
unsecured loan if such repayment would have a material adverse impact on the Company and no
interest will be charged on the advance. Accordingly, the assigned amount is now included
under Advances from Stockholders. |
|
(b) | The amounts due are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. During the
twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company received advances from related
parties of US$5,523 and US$321,024, respectively. In addition, during the twelve months ended

8. RETIREMENT PLAN AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Following the introduction of the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (MPFO) in Hong Kong,
the subsidiary in Hong Kong has participated in the defined contribution mandatory provident fund
since December 1, 2000. Both the Company and its employees make monthly contributions to the fund
at 5% of the employees earnings as defined under the MPFO. The contributions of the Company and
the employees are subject to a cap of HK$1,000 (US$129) per month and thereafter contributions are
voluntary.
As stipulated by the rules and regulations in the PRC, the Company is required to contribute to a
state-sponsored social insurance plan for all of its employees at 12% of the basic salary of its
employees. The state-sponsored retirement plan is responsible for the actual pension payments or
any post-retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions.
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate amount of the Companys
contributions amounted to US$9,834 and US$37,513, respectively.
9. CONTINGENCIES
One of the subsidiaries in the PRC is subject to the PRC enterprise income tax and business tax.
However, up to December 31, 2009, the Company only submitted tax returns and made payments for a
portion of the total tax liabilities, which is not in compliance with the tax laws and regulations
in the PRC. For this reason, the Company has made full provision for all tax liabilities in
accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations, together with a surcharge that may be levied
on the Company at a daily rate of 0.05% of the underpaid taxes.
Despite the fact that the Company has fully accrued the taxes and related surcharges in the
financial statements, the Company may be subject to penalties ranging from 50% to 500% of the
underpaid tax amounts. The exact amount of the penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable
degree of certainty.
The Company is currently suspended in the State of California due to failure to file reports with
the Franchise Tax Board. The Company is in the process of preparing the relevant reports and
expects to be back in good standing shortly. The Company believes that the amount of taxes and
penalties owed will not be material to the financial statements. The Company is also delinquent in
filing its U.S. Federal tax returns. The Company is in the process of preparing the relevant
returns and does not believe that the amount of taxes owed will be material.
10. STOCK PLAN
On July 25, 2001 the Board of Directors approved the Chinawe.com Inc. 2001 Restricted Stock Plan
(the Plan), under which 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock have been reserved for
award under the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, stock awards may be granted to eligible officers,
directors, employees and consultants of the Company. Through 2009, no awards have been made under
the Plan.
11. RISK CONSIDERATIONS
As a majority of the Companys operations are conducted in the PRC, the Company is subject to
special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with investments in equity
securities of North American and Western European companies. The Companys operations may be
adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC.
Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for the past several years,
no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that
such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership,
social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRCs political, economic
and social life. There is also no guarantee that the PRC governments pursuit of economic reforms
will be consistent or effective.
