NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2010 AND 2009 (UNAUDITED)
(DOLLARS
IN THOUSANDS)
Note
1 – ORGANIZATION
On
December 21, 2005, Capital became a wholly owned subsidiary of China 3C Group
through a reverse merger (“Merger Transaction”). China 3C Group acquired all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of Capital pursuant to a Merger
Agreement dated December 21, 2005 by and among China 3C Group, XY Acquisition
Corporation, Capital and the shareholders of Capital (the “Merger Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Capital became a wholly owned subsidiary of
China 3C Group and, in exchange for the Capital shares, China 3C Group issued
35,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Capital,
representing 93% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of China 3C Group
at that time and cash of $500.
On August
3, 2006, Capital completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in Sanhe for a
cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $8,750. The consideration
consisted of 915,751 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock and
$5,000 in cash.
On
November 28, 2006, Capital completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in Joy
& Harmony for a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $18,500.
The consideration consisted of 2,723,110 shares of the Company’s common stock
and $7,500 in cash.
On August
15, 2007, the Company changed its ownership structure. As a result, instead of
Capital owning 100% of Zhejiang, Capital entered into contractual agreements
with Zhejiang whereby Capital owns a 100% interest in the revenues of Zhejiang.
Capital does not have an equity interest in Zhejiang, but enjoys all the
economic benefits. Under this structure, Zhejiang is now a wholly foreign owned
enterprise of Capital. The contractual agreements give Capital and its equity
owners an obligation, and having ability to absorb, any losses, and rights to
receive returns. Capital will be unable to make significant decisions about the
activities of Zhejiang and cannot carry out its principal activities without
financial support. These characteristics as defined in Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs),
qualify the business operations of Zhejiang to be consolidated with Capital and
ultimately with China 3C.
4
On July
6, 2009, China 3C and its subsidiary Zhejiang and Yiwu purchased 100% interest
of Jinhua for RMB 120 million (approximately $17,500) in cash. Zhejiang
acquired 90% and Yiwu acquired 10% of the entire equity interests in
Jinhua.
The
purchase price and related allocation to the estimated fair values of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, after proportionately allocating the goodwill
resulting from the transaction in accordance with ASC 805 “Business
Combinations” is as follows:

third party products such as mobile phones, facsimile machines, DVD players,
stereos, speakers, MP3 and MP4 players, iPods, electronic dictionaries, CD
players, radio Walkmans and audio systems.

Note
2 - SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”). The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi, however
the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and
presented in United States Dollars.
Principles of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China 3C Group and its
wholly owned subsidiaries Capital, Wang Da, Yiwu, Joy & Harmony, Sanhe and
Jinhua and variable interest entity Zhejiang, collectively referred to as the
Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were
eliminated in consolidation.
6
Currency
Translation
The
accounts of Zhejiang, Wang Da, Yiwu, Sanhe, Joy & Harmony and Jinhua were
maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan
Renminbi (“CNY”). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars
(“USD”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830-10,
“Foreign Currency Translation,” with the CNY as the functional currency.
According to ASC 830-10, assets and liabilities were translated at the ending
exchange rate, stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates
and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the
period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as other
comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, “Reporting Comprehensive
Income,” as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses
are reflected in the consolidated income (loss) and comprehensive income
(loss) statement.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
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 the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Risks and
Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense
competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with
financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements,
limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of
public markets.
Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which
could result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one
or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses
such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise
of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that
are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such
proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any
legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the
amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the
assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss
has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the
estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the
assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable
but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the
nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of
possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed
unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be
disclosed.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.
Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes
historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness,
current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the
adequacy of these reserves. Terms of the sales vary. Reserves are recorded
primarily on a specific identification basis. Allowance for doubtful debts was
$394 and $404 (audited) as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively.
7
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or
market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value
and allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if
lower. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, inventory consisted entirely
of finished goods valued at $7,627 (unaudited) and $6,764,
respectively.
Property, Plant &
Equipment, net
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are
capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of,
the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of
property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for
substantially all assets with estimated lives of:

Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be
held and used in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”
requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’
carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by
which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived
assets. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a
similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of
disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2010
and December 31, 2009, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived
assets.
8
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
ASC 825
“Financial Instruments” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values
of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of
financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as
financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Revenue
Recognition
In
accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting
Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, the Company recognizes revenues when there is persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, product delivery and acceptance have occurred, the
sales price is fixed and determinable, and collectability of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured.
The
Company records revenues when title and the risk of loss pass to the
customer. Generally, these conditions occur on the date the customer takes
delivery of the product. Revenue is generated from sales of China 3C
products through two main revenue streams:
|
1.
|
Retail. 69% and 68% of
the Company’s revenue comes from sales to individual customers at outlets
installed inside department stores etc. (i.e. store in store model) during
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and is mainly
achieved through two broad
categories:
|
|
a.
|
Purchase contracts. The
terms for sales by purchase contracts were 45 days from the transfer of
goods to the customer in the first quarter 2010 and 30 days in 2009. Under
this method, the Company delivers goods to places designated by the
customers and receives confirmation of delivery. At that time, ownership
and all risks associated to the goods are transferred to the customers and
payment is made within the terms. The Company relieves its inventory and
recognizes revenue upon receipt of confirmation from the
customer.
|
|
b.
|
Point of sale transfer of
ownership. Under this method, the Company’s products are placed in
third party stores and sold by the Company’s sales people. Upon purchase
of the item by the customer, the Company relieves its inventory and
recognizes revenue related to that
item.
|
|
2.
|
Wholesale. 31% and 32%
of the Company’s revenue comes from wholesale during the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Recognition of
wholesale income is based on the contract terms. The main contract terms
on wholesale were 15 days after receipt of goods in the first quarter 2010
and 10 days in 2009 and that ownership and all risks associated with the
goods are transferred to the customers on the date of goods
received.
|
Sales
revenue is therefore recognized on the following basis:
|
1.
|
Store
in store model:
|
|
a.
|
For
goods sold under sales and purchase contracts, revenue is recognized when
goods are received by customers.
|
|
b.
|
For
goods at customer outlets which the Company’s sales people operate, and
inventory of goods is under joint control by the customers and the
Company, revenue is recognized at the point of sale to the end
buyer.
|
9
During
public holidays or department store celebration periods, we provide certain
sales incentives to retail customers to increase sales, such as gift giving and
price reductions. These are the only temporary incentives during the specified
periods. Sales made to our retail customers as a result of incentives are
immaterial as a percentage of total sales revenue.
|
2.
|
Wholesale:
|
|
a.
|
Revenue
is recognized at the date the goods are received by the wholesale
customers. We operate our wholesale business by selling large volume
orders to second-tier distributors and large department stores. Revenues
from wholesale are recognized as net sales after confirmation with
distributors. Net sales already take into account revenue dilution as they
exclude inventory credit, discount from early payment, product
obsolescence and return of products and other allowances. Net sales also
take into account the return of products in accordance with relevant laws
and regulations in China.
|
Return
policies
Our
return policy complies with China’s laws and regulations on consumer’s rights
and product quality. In accordance with Chinese law, consumers can return or
exchange used products within seven days only if the goods do not meet safety
and health requirements, endanger a person’s property, or do not meet the
advertised performance. If the conditions and requirements as set out in the
relevant laws and regulations are met, the retail stores are entitled to accept
a return of the goods from the consumer. In such cases, the Company shall accept
the returns unconditionally. Goods returned will be redirected to the production
factory or supplier who shall bear all losses on the returns in accordance the
laws and regulations. Consumer returns or exchanges of products that have not
been used, where the packaging has not been damaged, are honored if such return
or exchange is within seven days. If a consumer returns a product, the Company
must refund the invoice price to the consumer. The Company will then be
responsible for returning the goods to the production factory or supplier. At
that time the Company can recover the price based on the purchase and sale
contract with the producer or supplier. However, when goods are returned, the
Company loses the gross margin that it records when revenue is recognized,
regardless of whether the production factory or supplier takes the product back
or not.
The
return rights granted to wholesale customers are similar to the rights granted
to retail customers. Once wholesale customers purchase the products, they follow
the same return policy as retail customers. We do not honor any return from
wholesale customers other than if the products don’t meet laws and regulations
or quality requirements. If the wholesale customers have a high inventory level
or product obsolescence caused by lower market demands or other operational
issues, the wholesale customers bear their own losses. When a wholesale customer
returns products, the Company will return the products to the suppliers or
manufacturers. A sales return and allowance is recorded at the sales price.
Meanwhile, a purchase return and allowance entry is recorded at the invoice
price because the suppliers or manufacturers bear the losses. The net effect is
that the Company derecognizes the gross profit when a return takes place, but
does not record any loss on the cost of the returned item back to the supplier
or manufacturer.
In light
of the aforesaid PRC laws and regulations and the Company’s arrangements with
suppliers, we do not provide an accrual for any estimated losses on subsequent
sale of the return of products. As a result we do not engage in assessing
levels of inventory in the distribution channel, product obsolescence and/or
introductions of new products, as none of those factors have any impact on us
with respect to estimating losses on subsequent sale of returned goods.
Third party market research report and consumer demand study is not used to make
estimates of goods returned.

Cost of
Sales
Cost of
sales consists of actual product cost, which is the purchase price of the
product less any discounts. Cost of sales excludes freight charges,
purchase and delivery costs, internal transfer, freight charges and the other
costs of the Company’s distribution network, which are identified in general and
administrative expenses.
General and Administrative
Expenses
General
and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits
costs for retail and corporate employees, occupancy costs of corporate
facilities, lease expenses, management fees, traveling expenses and other
operating and administrative expenses, including freight charges, purchase and
delivery costs, internal transfer freight charges and other distribution
costs.
Shipping and handling
fees
The
Company follows ASC 605-45, “Handling Costs, Shipping Costs”. The Company
does not charge its customers for shipping and handling. The Company classifies
shipping and handling fees as part of General and administrative expenses During
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred shipping
and handling fees and costs of $51 and $54, respectively.
Vendor
Discounts
The
Company has negotiated preferred pricing arrangements with certain vendors on
certain products. These arrangements are not contingent on any levels of volume
and are considered vendor discounts as opposed to rebates. The Company records
these discounts along with the purchase of the discounted items, resulting in
lower inventory cost and a corresponding lower cost of sales as the products are
sold.
Management fees paid to the
department stores under “store in store” model
Under the
“store in store” business operation model, the Company may pay management fees
to the department stores, which are in the form of service charges or “selling
at an allowance (discount)”. The management fees are accounted for (1) in the
form of service charges which are reflected in general and administrative
expenses, or (2) in the form of “selling at an allowance (discount)”, as a
deduction of sales, which means, the expenses are directly deducted at a certain
percentage on sales. Such management fees accounted as general and
administrative expenses were $136 and $486 during the three months ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Management fees accounted for deductions of
sales were $1,260 and $2,365 in sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively.
Share Based
Payment
The
Company adopted ASC 718-10, “Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting
for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods
or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains
employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision
to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” ASC 718-10 requires
measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award
of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with
limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent
modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.
11
Advertising
Advertising
expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product
marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising
costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $86 and$57 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Advertising
service income is the fee we receive from electronic product manufacturers when
we advertise their products in our retail locations. Commission income from
China Unicom is derived from the sales of China Unicom’s wireless service and
products, i.e. rechargeable mobile phone cards.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in
which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
Basic and Diluted Earnings
(Loss) per Share
Earnings
(loss) per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per
Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (losses) per share is
based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options
were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock
method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at
the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if
funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market
price during the period. If convertible shares and stock options are
anti-dilutive, the impact of conversion is not included in the diluted net
income per share. Excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 100,000 options, as they were not
dilutive.
12
Statement of Cash
Flows
In
accordance with ASC 230 “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s
operations are calculated based upon the functional currency, in our case the
CNY. As a result, amounts related to changes in assets and liabilities reported
on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with the changes in
the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk are cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers and other receivables
arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what
it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a
diversified customer base, most of which is in China. The Company controls
credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit
limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial
strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk,
establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a
consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond
such allowance is limited.
Segment
Reporting
ASC 280,
“Segment Reporting” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment
reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s
management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions
and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and
services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner
in which management disaggregates a company. The Company operates in five
segments (see Note 13).
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
ASC 805 “Business Combinations”,
previously SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141(R)
changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business.
SFAS 141(R) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair
value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or
events. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is
prohibited. Effective January 1, 2009. ASC 805 revised SFAS No. 141, “Business
Combinations” and addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable
assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business
combination. The Company adopted ASC 805. The Company accounted for the
acquisition of Jinhua in accordance with these standards.
ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously
SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statement”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting
and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The
adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
13
ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”,
previously SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting
about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced
disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an
entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The
Standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative
instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and
related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009.
The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”,
previously FSP SFAS No. 107-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments”. The guidance requires
that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within
the scope of SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”,
be included in interim financial statements. This FSP also requires entities to
disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value
of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any
changes from prior periods. FSP 107-1 was effective for interim periods ending
after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material
effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASC 860 “Transfers and servicing”,
previously SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”.
SFAS No. 166 requires more information about transfers of financial assets and
where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred
financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal
year beginning after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for companies
reporting earnings on a calendar-year basis. The adoption of this statement did
not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously
SFAS NO. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. SFAS No. 167
will change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently
capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be
consolidated. Under SFAS 167, determining whether a company is required to
consolidate an entity will be based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose
and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that
most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 is
effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November
15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for companies reporting earnings on a calendar-year
basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 did not have any impact on our financial
statements.
FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-1). In June 2009,
the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”)
as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting
standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of
the SEC and its staff. The Codification is effective for interim or annual
financial periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts our financial
statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will
be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to
the content of our financial statements or disclosures as a result of
implementing the Codification.

Note 5 - COMMON
STOCK
On
January 15, 2009, the Company’s Board adopted the China 3C Group, Inc. 2008
Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The 2008 Plan
provides for the granting of distribution equivalent rights, incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options, performance share awards, performance unit
awards, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, tandem stock
appreciation rights, unrestricted stock awards or any combination of the
foregoing, as may be best suited to the circumstances of the particular
employee, director or consultant. Under the 2008 Plan 2,000,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock are available for issuance for awards. Each
award shall remain exercisable for a term of ten (10) years from the date of its
grant. The price at which a share of common stock may be purchased upon exercise
of an option shall not be less than the closing sales price of the common stock
on the date such option is granted. The 2008 Plan shall continue in
effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth anniversary of the date on
which it is adopted by the Board of Directors.
In April
and October 2009, the Company issued 1,997,272 shares of common stock under the
2008 Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a three year period. $125
was recognized as stock based compensation expense during the three months ended
March 31, 2010,.
Note
6 - STOCK WARRANTS,
OPTIONS, AND COMPENSATION
Stock
options— Options issued have a ten-year life and were fully vested upon
issuance. The option holder has no voting or dividend rights. The grant price
was equal the market price at the date of grant. The Company records the expense
of the stock options over the related vesting period. The options were valued
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the date of grant stock option
pricing.

ABSENCES
Regulation
45 of the labor laws in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) entitles employees
to annual vacation leave after 1 year of service. In general all leave must be
utilized annually, with proper notification, any unutilized leave is
cancelled.
Note
9 - INCOME
TAXES
The
Company, through its subsidiaries, Zhejiang, Wang Da, Sanhe, Joy & Harmony,
Yiwu and Jinhua is governed by the Income Tax Laws of the PRC.
The US
entity, China 3C Group, Inc is subject to the United States federal income tax
at a tax rate of 34%. The US entity has incurred net accumulated operating
losses of approximately $2,930 as of March 31, 20010 for income tax purposes.
The US entity does not conduct any operations and only incurs public expenses
every year. Therefore, it is more likely than not that
all of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not
be realized. A 100% allowance was recorded on the deferred tax asset of
approximately $996.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any
unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company did
not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax
benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Pursuant
to the PRC Income Tax Laws, from January 1, 2008, the Enterprise Income Tax
(“EIT) is calculated against the net income in a fiscal year at a statutory rate
of 25%.
The
following is a reconciliation of income tax expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009:

11 - STATUTORY
RESERVE
In
accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, a wholly-owned Foreign
Invested Enterprise’s income, after the payment of the PRC income taxes, shall
be allocated to the statutory surplus reserves and statutory public welfare
fund. Prior to January 1, 2006, the proportion of allocation for reserve was 10
percent of the profit after tax to the surplus reserve fund and additional 5-10
percent to the public affair fund. The public welfare fund reserve was limited
to 50 percent of the registered capital. Effective January 1, 2006, there is now
only one fund requirement. The reserve is 10 percent of income after tax, not to
exceed 50 percent of registered capital.
Statutory
reserve funds are restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production
and operation or increase in register capital of the respective company.
Statutory public welfare fund is restricted to the capital expenditures for the
collective welfare of employees. These reserves are not transferable to the
Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are
therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of March 31,
2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had allocated $11,535 to these
non-distributable reserve funds.

VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN RISK FACTORS
The
Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, by the general state of
the PRC’s economy. The Company’s business may be influenced by changes in
governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary
measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of
taxation, among other things.
Note

15 - SEGMENT
INFORMATION
We
separately operate and prepare accounting and other financial reports to
management for five major business organizations (Wang Da, Sanhe, Yiwu, Joy
& Harmony and Jinhua). Each of the operating companies has different
products and service. Wang Da sells mainly mobile phones, Sanhe sells
mainly home appliances, Yiwu sells mainly office communication products, Joy
& Harmony sells mainly consumer electronics and Jinhua provides
transportation logistics to businesses. All segments are accounted for using the
same principles as described in Note 2.
We
identified five reportable segments required by SFAS 131: (1) mobile phones, (2)
home electronics, (3) office communication products, (4) consumer electronics
and (5) logistics.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
(All dollar amounts in thousands)
China 3C
Group (“China 3C”) was incorporated on August, 20, 1998 under the laws of the
State of Nevada. Capital Future Developments Limited (“CFDL”) was incorporated
on July 22, 2004 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Zhejiang Yong Xin
Digital Technology Company Limited (“Zhejiang”), Yiwu Yong Xin Communication
Limited (“Yiwu”), Hangzhou Wandda Electronics Company Limited (“Wang Da”),
Hangzhou Sanhe Electronic Technology, Limited (“Sanhe”), and Shanghai Joy &
Harmony Electronic Development Company Limited (“Joy & Harmony”) were
incorporated under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”)
on July 11, 2005, July 18, 1997, March 30, 1998, April 12, 2004, and August 25,
2003, respectively. China 3C Group owns 100% of CFDL and CFDL own 100% of the
capital stock of Joy & Harmony and Sanhe. Until August 14, 2007, when it
made the change to its ownership structure described in the next paragraph in
order to comply with certain requirements of PRC law, CFDL owned 100% of the
capital stock of Zhenjiang. Zhejiang owns 90% and Yiwu owns 10% of Wang Da.
Zhejiang owns 90% and Wang Da owns 10% of Yiwu. On March 10, 2009 Zhejiang set
up a new operating entity, Hangzhou Letong Digital Technology Co., Ltd.
(“Letong”) to establish an electronic retail franchise operation for China 3C
Group. On July 6, 2009, Zhejiang and Yiwu completed acquisition of Jinhua Baofa
Logistic Ltd (“Jinhua”). Jinhua was incorporated under the laws of PRC on
December 27, 2001.
References
to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer collectively to the nine
corporations described above.
On
December 21, 2005, CFDL became a wholly owned subsidiary of China 3C through a
merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Transaction”).
China 3C acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CFDL
pursuant to a Merger Agreement dated at December 21, 2005 by and among China 3C,
XY Acquisition Corporation, CFDL and the shareholders of CFDL (the “Merger
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CFDL became a wholly owned
subsidiary of China 3C and, in exchange for the CFDL shares, China 3C issued
35,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of CFDL, representing
93% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of China 3C at that time and a
cash consideration of $500. On August 15, 2007, in order to comply with the
requirements of PRC law, the Company recapitalized its ownership structure. As a
result, instead of CFDL owning 100% of Zhejiang as previously was the case, CFDL
entered into contractual agreements with Zhejiang whereby CFDL owns a 100%
interest in the revenues of Zhejiang. CFDL does not have an equity interest in
Zhejiang, but is deemed to have all the economic benefits and liabilities by
contract. Under this structure, Zhejiang is now a wholly foreign owned
enterprise (WOFE) of CFDL. The contractual agreements give CFDL and its equity
owners an obligation to absorb any losses, and rights to receive revenue. CFDL
will be unable to make significant decisions about the activities of Zhejiang
and can not carry out its principal activities without financial support. These
characteristics as defined in ASC 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities (VIEs), qualifies the business operations of Zhejiang to be
consolidated with CFDL and ultimately with China 3C.
19
As a
result of the Merger Agreement, the reorganization was treated as an acquisition
by the accounting acquiree that is being accounted for as a recapitalization and
as a reverse merger by the legal acquirer for accounting purposes. Pursuant to
the recapitalization, all capital stock shares and amounts and per share data
have been retroactively restated. Accordingly, the financial statements include
the following:
(1) The
balance sheet consists of the net assets of the accounting acquirer at
historical cost and the net assets of the legal acquirer at historical
cost.
(2) The
statements of operations include the operations of the accounting acquirer for
the period presented and the operations of the legal acquirer from the date of
the merger.
Pursuant
to a share exchange agreement, dated August 3, 2006, we issued 915,751 shares of
restricted common stock, to the former shareholders of Sanhe. The shares were
valued at $3,750, which was the fair value of the shares at the date of the
share exchange agreement. This amount is included in the cost of net assets and
goodwill purchased.
Pursuant
to a share exchange agreement, dated November 28, 2006, we issued 2,723,110
shares of newly issued shares of common stock to the former shareholders of Joy
& Harmony. The shares were valued at $11,000, which was the fair value of
the shares at the date of exchange agreement. This amount is included in the
cost of net assets and goodwill purchased.
On July
6, 2009, China 3C’s subsidiaries, Zhejiang and Yiwu completed acquisition of
Jinhua, a company organized under the laws of the PRC. Zhejiang acquired 90% and
Yiwu acquired 10% of the entire equity interests in Jinhua from the shareholders
of Jinhua for a total purchase price of RMB 120,000,000 (approximately $17,500)
in cash.
The
Company is engaged in the business of resale and distribution of third party
products and generates approximately 100% of its revenue from resale of items
such as mobile phones, facsimile machines, DVD players, stereos, speakers, MP3
and MP4 players, iPod, electronic dictionaries, CD players, radios, Walkmans,
and audio systems. We sell and distribute products through retail stores and
secondary distributors. We operate substantially all of our retail operations
through our “store in store” model. Under this model, the Company leases space
in major department stores and retailers. Leasing costs can vary based on a
percentage of sales, or can be fixed. For the year ended December 31, 2009, all
of our stores in stores leases were variable based on sales. After acquisition
of Jinhua in July 2009, the Company started provideing transportation service to
business in Eastern China.

For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, Yiwu generated revenue of $6,178, a decrease
of $9,624 or 60.9% compared to $15,802 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. The decrease was a result of lower market demand for office
appliances as well as the effect of global economic slowdown. .
Gross
profit decreased $1,190 or 70.12% from $1,697 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 to $507 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Gross profit margin decreased 2.54% from 10.74% in the three months ended March
31, 2009 to 8.20% in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was a
result of decline in demand of office appliances such as fax machines and
telephones.
Operating
loss was $210 for the three months ended March 31,2010, a decrease of
$712 or 141.9% compared to operating income of $502 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009. Operating income decreased primarily due to
decreased gross profit. Meanwhile, when sales gross profit decreased 70.12%,
operating expenses only decreased approximately 40% primarily due to an increase
in base salary for all staff. As a result, Yiwu had an operating loss in the
first quarter of 2010.
b) Hangzhou
Wang Da Electronics Company Limited or “Wang Da”
Wang Da
focuses on the selling, circulation and modern logistics of cell phones, cell
phones products, and digital products, including digital cameras, digital

For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, Wang Da generated revenue of $10,499, a
decrease of $15,245 or 59.22% compared to $25,744 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in revenue and gross profit was primarily due
to the high competition from government-owned large telecommunication service
providers. Telecommunication service providers started to open their direct
operating stores to sell communication products and also launched promotions
such as “free phone with service contract”.
Gross
profit decreased $2,192 or 74.06% from $2,960 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 to $768 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Gross profit margin decreased from 11.50% in the three months ended March 31,
2009 to 7.31% in the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of
4.19%. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was due to the
decrease in demand of domestic cell phones, which had a higher gross margin than
brand name cell phones. Meanwhile, sales rebate from suppliers also decreased
which led to lower gross margin.
Operating
loss was $446.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of
$1,562 or 139.99% compared to operating income of $1,116 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009. Operating income decreased primarily due to
decreased gross profit and increased operating expenses. When gross profit
decreased 74.06%, operating expenses only decreased 34.2% primarily due to an
increase in base salary for all staff and an increase in management fees paid to
the department stores.
c) Hangzhou
Sanhe Electronic Technology Limited or “Sanhe”
Sanhe
focuses on the selling, circulation and modern logistics of home electronics,
including DVD players, audio systems, speakers, televisions and air
conditioners.

For the
three months ended March 31, 20010, Sanhe generated revenue of $11,312 , a
decrease of $5,281 or 31.83% compared to $16,593 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was a result of decline in market demand of
DVD players and speakers.
Gross
profit decreased $2,014 or 61.99% from $3,249 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 to $1,235 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Gross profit margin decreased from 19.58% in 2009 to 10.91% in 2009, a decrease
of 8.67%. The decrease was a result of higher sales volume of televisions in the
first quarter of 2010 compared to higher sales in DVD players and speakers in
the first quarter of 2009, which have higher gross margin compared to other home
electronics products.
22
Operating
loss was $516 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of
$1,654 or 145.34% compared to operating income of $1,138 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009. Operating income decreased primarily due to
decreased gross profit and increased operating expenses. When gross profit
decreased 61.99%, operating expenses only decreased 17.12% primary due to an
increase in base salary for all staff and an increase in management fees paid to
the department stores.
d) Shanghai
Joy & Harmony Electronics Company Limited or “Joy &
Harmony”
Joy &
Harmony focuses on the selling, circulation and modern logistics of consumer
electronics, including MP3 players, MP4 players, iPod, electronic dictionary,
radios, and Walkman.

For the

$9,934, a decrease of $9,339 or 48.45% compared to $19,273 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit decreased $1,915 or 88.94%
from $2,153 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $238 for the
three months ended March 31, 2010. Gross profit margin decreased from 11.17% in
2009 to 2.4% in 2010, a decrease of 8.77%. The global financial
crisis caused many small electronics manufacturers to exit the market and large
manufacturers to raise the price of consumer electronics. Therefore, the cost
for Joy & Harmony increased, which led to a significant decline in gross
margin. The closedown of many small electronics manufacturers also caused some
of our products to discontinue. Therefore, we had a big sales event for those
products in the first quarter 2010, which led to lower sales
revenue.
Operating
loss was $508 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of
$1,787 or 139.72% compared to operating income of $1,279 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. Operating income decreased primarily due to
decreased gross profit and increased operating expenses. When gross profit
decreased 88.94%, operating expenses only decreased 15% primary due to an
increase in base salary for all staff, an increase in marketing expenses and
management fees paid to the department stores.
e) Jinhua
Baofa Logistic Limited or “Jinhua”
Jinhua
provides transportation service to business and transports freight, including
electronics, machinery and equipment, metal products, chemical materials,
garments and handicraft goods, in more than 20 cities in Eastern China. Its
transportation services cover many of the most developed cities in Eastern China
such as Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing.
China 3C
acquired Jinhua on July 6, 2009. Therefore, the consolidated statement of income
(loss) and comprehensive income (loss) of China 3C for the period ended March
31, 2009 did not includes Jinhua’s operating results.

Net
Sales
Net sales
for the three months ended on March 31, 2010 decreased by 47.30%, to $40,798
compared to $77,412 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was
attributable to the closing of 101 stores in stores in 2009 as well as the
negative effect of global economic slowdown.
Cost
of Sales
Cost of
sales for the three months ended on March 31, 2010 totaled $37,433 compared to
$67,353 for the three months ended on March 31, 2009, a decrease of 44.42%. The
increased cost of sales was a direct result of the decrease in
sales.
Gross
Profit Margin
Gross
profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 8.25% compared to
12.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The lower gross profit margin
was because the unit sales prices for many electronic products decreased due to
the highly competitive market environment but the purchase prices
increased.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010
totaled $5,214 or 12.78% of net sales, compared to $5,486 or 7.09% of net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of 4.96%. Net sales
decreased 47.30% but operating expenses only decreased 4.96% primarily due to an
increase in base salary for all staff, an increase in marketing expenses and
management fees paid to the department stores.
Income
from Operations
Operating
loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,820 or (4.46)% of net
sales as compared to income from operations of $4,572 or 5.91% of net sales for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of 139.80%. Lower gross margin
and higher operating expenses were the key factors for the decrease in income
from operations.
Provision
for Income Taxes
The
provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $107
compared with $1,199 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in
income tax expenses was due to Yiwu, Wang Da, Joy & Harmony and Sanhe having
net losses in the first quarter of 2010 and therefore not having income tax
expenses. Jinhua and Zhejiang were the only two subsidiaries having operating
income and the amount was not significant.
24
Net
(Loss)/Income
Net loss
was $1,927 or (4.72)% of net sales for the three months ended on March 31, 2010
compared to $3,440 or 4.44% of net sales for the three months ended on March 31,
2009, a decrease of 156.02%. Significant decrease in sales, lower gross margin
and high operating expenses were the critical factors which contributed to the
decrease in net income.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Operations
and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from operations.
Cash and equivalents were $27,256 at March 31, 2010, as compared to $28,667 at
March 31, 2009, and compared to $29,908 at December 31, 2009.
We
believe that the funds available to us are adequate to meet our operating needs
for the remainder of 2010.
In
summary, our cash flows were:

the three months ended March 31, 2009, approximately a 167.09%
decrease. The decrease was mainly attributable to several factors,
including (i) net loss of 1,927; (ii) the decrease in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $830; (iii) the increase in inventory of $862, offset by the
decrease in accounts receivable of $253.

and determined that all accounts remained collectible. Collection of debt is
based on the terms of legal binding documents. Our account receivable department
has periodically reviewed the allowance for doubtful accounts. The estimate of
bad debt allowance is based on the aging of the receivables, the credit history
and credit quality of the customers, the term of the contracts as well as the
balance outstanding. If an account receivable item is considered highly probable
that it is uncollectible, then it will be charged to bad debt immediately in

Expenditures
Total
capital expenditures for the first three months of 2009 were $3 for purchase of
fixed assets and
none for 2010.
Working Capital Requirements
Historically
operations and short term financing have been sufficient to meet our cash needs.
We believe that we will be able to generate revenues from sales and raise
capital through private placement offerings of our equity securities to provide
the necessary cash flow to meet anticipated working capital requirements.
However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short term will
depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, competition, and the
availability of credit facilities, none of which can be predicted with
certainty. Future expansion will be limited by the availability of financing
products and raising capital.

never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never
established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or
commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial
assets.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
26
An
accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting
estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain
at the time the estimates are made, and if different estimates that reasonably
could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably
likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more
significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
Our
revenues are generated from sales of electronics products. All of our revenue
transactions contain standard business terms and conditions. We determine the
appropriate accounting for these transactions after considering (1) whether a
contract exists; (2) when to recognize revenue on the deliverables; and (3)
whether all elements of the contract have been fulfilled and delivered. In
addition, our revenue recognition policy requires an assessment as to whether
collection is reasonably assured, which inherently requires us to evaluate the
creditworthiness of our customers. Changes in judgments on these assumptions and
estimates could materially impact the timing or amount of revenue
recognition.
Please
refer to Note 2 in the footnotes to the financial statements for detailed
description of our revenue recognition policy.
After
Sales Service
The
after-sales services that we provide to our customers are primarily repair and
maintenance. If a customer buys a product from us and needs repairs, we can
usually arrange to have the manufacturer repair the product. In certain cases,
clerks in our stores are able to make the repairs directly.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Fluctuations
in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies,
primarily the Chinese Renminbi, could adversely affect our financial results.
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, all of our sales were denominated
in foreign currencies. We expect that foreign currencies will continue to
represent a similarly significant percentage of our sales in the future.
Selling, marketing and administrative costs related to these sales are largely
denominated in the same respective currency, thereby mitigating our transaction
risk exposure. We therefore believe that the risk of a significant impact on our
operating income from foreign currency fluctuations is not substantial. However,
for sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, if there is an increase in the rate
at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars, it will require more
of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. dollars than before
the rate increase. In such cases and if we price our products in the foreign
currency, we will receive less in US. dollars than we did before the rate
increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and
competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative
strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our price not being competitive in a
market where business is transacted in the local currency.
All of
our sales denominated in foreign currencies are denominated in the Chinese
Renminbi. Our principal exchange rate risk therefore exists between the U.S.
dollar and this currency. Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any
given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign
currency-denominated receivables and payables, generating currency transaction
gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the
respective period and are reported in other (income) expense, net in our
consolidated financial statements. We do not currently hedge our exposure to
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We may, however, hedge such
exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the
future.
Interest
Rate Risk
Changes
in interest rates may affect the interest paid (or earned) and therefore affect
our cash flows and results of operations. However, we do not believe that this
interest rate change risk is significant.
Inflation
Inflation
has not had a material impact on the Company’s business [for the Company’s three
most recent fiscal years.
Currency
Exchange Fluctuations
All of
the Company’s revenues are denominated in Chinese Renminbi, while its expenses
are denominated primarily in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The value of the
RMB-to-U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among
other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Since 1994, the
conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been
based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”), which are set daily
based on the previous day’s inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current
exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange
rate for the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. dollars had generally been stable
and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on
July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of
Chinese Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, Chinese Renminbi may
fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign
currencies. Recently there has been increased political pressure on the Chinese
government to decouple the Renminbi from the United States dollar. At the recent
quarterly regular meeting of PBOC, its Currency Policy Committee affirmed the
effects of the reform on Chinese Renminbi exchange rate. Since February 2006,
the new currency rate system has been operated; the currency rate of Renminbi
has become more flexible while basically maintaining stable and the expectation
for a larger appreciation range is shrinking. The Company has never engaged in
currency hedging operations and has no present intention to do
so.
28
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Credit
risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting
date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted.
Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from
financial instruments exist for groups of customers or counterparties when they
have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet
contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
conditions as described below:
|
·
|
The
Company’s business is characterized by rapid technological change, new
product and service development, and evolving industry standards and
regulations. Inherent in the Company’s business are various risks and
uncertainties, including the impact from the volatility of the stock
market, limited operating history, uncertain profitability and the ability
to raise additional capital.
|
|
·
|
All
of the Company’s revenue is derived from Asia and Greater China. Changes
in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of
confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, devaluations
of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private
enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial
condition.
|
|
·
|
If
the Company is unable to derive any revenues from Greater China, it would
have a significant, financially disruptive effect on the normal operations
of the Company.

4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010, as
such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report,
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was
no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the first fiscal quarter of 2010 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
