REDSTONE GROUP, INC.
Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
China
Redstone Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was
incorporated in Delaware on July 10, 2007, originally under the name
“Artistry Publications, Inc.” for the purpose of entering the photography
industry and establishing a large scale photography publishing business focused
on American History. The Company’s plan was to develop a successful photo
journal publishing company by depicting history and producing excellent
affordable artwork in practical items to entertain and
educate.
On
February 10, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the
“Exchange
Agreement”) with Gold Industry Limited, a Cayman Island company (“Gold Industry”), and
the holders of 100% of Gold Industry’s issued and outstanding capital stock (the
“Cayman
Shareholder”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate
of 8,800,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to the
Cayman Shareholder in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Gold Industry (the “Share Exchange”). On
February 10, 2010, the Share Exchange closed and Gold Industry became the
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. On April 6, 2010, in connection with the
Share Exchange, the Company changed its name to “China Redstone Group, Inc.” to
better reflect its business operations.
All of
the Company’s business operations are carried out by Chongqing Foguang Tourism
Development (Group) Co., Ltd. (“Foguang”), which the Company controls
through contractual arrangements between Foguang and Chongqing Ran Ji Industrial
Co., Ltd. (“Ran
Ji”), a company wholly-owned by Gold Holy Industry Limited (“Gold Holy”), a
company wholly-owned by Gold Industry. Further, Mr. Yiyou Ran, the Company’s
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jianquan Chen, a member of the
Company’s board of directors, are directors of Gold Industry, Gold Holy, Ran Ji
and Foguang. Mr. Ran and Mr. Chen are also shareholders and directors
of Holy Golden Industry Limited, a British Virgins Island company which
currently owns approximately 56% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock. Through these contractual arrangements, the Company has the
ability to substantially influence Foguang’s daily operations and financial
affairs, appoint its senior executives and approve all matters requiring
shareholder approval. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which
enable the Company to control Foguang, the Company is considered the primary
beneficiary of Foguang. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Foguang’s results,
assets and liabilities in its financial statements.
Specifically,
on December 15, 2009, Ran Ji entered into following exclusive agreements with
Foguang and its owners (collectively the “Contractual
Arrangements”):
(1) Consulting Services
Agreement, through which Ran Ji has the right to advise, consult, manage
and operate Foguang, and collect and own all of its net profits;
(2) Operating Agreement,
through which Ran Ji has the right to recommend director candidates and appoint
the senior executives of Foguang, approve any transactions that may materially
affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of Foguang, and guarantee
the contractual performance by Foguang of any agreements with third parties, in
exchange for a pledge by Foguang of its accounts receivable and
assets;
(3) Proxy Agreement,
under which the owners of Foguang have vested their collective voting control
over Foguang to Ran Ji and will only transfer their respective equity interests
in Foguang to Ran Ji or its designee(s);
(4) Option Agreement,
under which the owners of Foguang have granted Ran Ji the irrevocable right and
option to acquire all of their equity interests in Foguang; and
(5) Equity Pledge
Agreement, under which the owners of Foguang have pledged all of their
rights, titles and interests in Foguang to Ran Ji to guarantee the performance
of their obligations under the Consulting Services Agreement.

Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2010 and 2009
Other
than the interests in the contractual arrangements, neither the Company, Gold
Industry, Gold Holy nor Ranji owns any equity interests in Foguang. As a result
of these Contractual Arrangements, which obligates Ran Ji to absorb a majority
of the risk of loss from Foguang’s activities and enable Ran Ji to receive a
majority of its expected residual returns, the Company believes that Foguang is
a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), because the owners of Foguang
do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and the
Company should be considered the primary beneficiary of Foguang. Accordingly,
the Company consolidates Foguang’s results, assets and liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
However,
Chinese laws and regulations concerning the validity of the contractual
arrangement is uncertain, as many of these laws and regulations are relatively
new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and
enforcement by the Chinese government involves substantial uncertainty.
Additionally, the contractual arrangement may not be as effective in providing
control over Foguang as direct ownership, which the Company is restricted from
under current Chinese law. Due to such uncertainty, the Company may take such
additional steps in the future as may be permitted by the then applicable laws
and regulations in China to further strengthen our control over or toward actual
ownership of Foguang or its assets or business operations, which could include
direct ownership of selected assets without jeopardizing any favorable
government policies toward domestic owned enterprises. Because the Company
relies on Foguang for its revenue, any termination of or disruption to the
contractual arrangement would detrimentally affect the Company’s business and
financial condition.
Gold
Industry was incorporated on September 11, 2009, under the laws of the Cayman
Islands. Gold Holy was incorporated on September 29, 2009, under the laws of
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Ran Ji was established under the laws
of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”) on December 15, 2009, as a
wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”), with registered capital of USD
25,000,000, of which the first USD3,000,000 has been contributed and the balance
due within two years. Foguang is a PRC limited liability company
established on October 10, 2002 with registered capital of 100,000,000 Renminbi.
Foguang is engaged in selling death care products, and holds the licenses and
approvals necessary to operate its business in China.
All of
the Company’s business operations are carried out by Foguang in the PRC. The
Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31st.

NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This
summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the
understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements and notes are presentations of the Company’s
management, which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
Reverse
Acquisition
On
February 10, 2010, Artistry Publications, Inc., entered into a Share Exchange
under which it issued 8,800,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.001, to
the shareholders of Gold Industry Ltd, a Cayman Island company, in exchange for
all the issued and outstanding shares of Gold Industry Limited. As a result of
the Share Exchange, Gold Industry Ltd. has become a wholly-owned legal
subsidiary of Artistry Publications, Inc., and Gold Industry Ltd. shareholders
acquired a majority of Artistry Publications, Inc.’s issued and outstanding
stock. Concurrent with the Share Exchange, Mr. Yiyou Ran (the managing director
of Gold Industry Ltd., and all of its operating subsidiaries, “Mr. Ran”) has
been appointed the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
As a
result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition using
the purchase method of accounting, whereby Gold Industry, Ltd., is deemed to be
the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and Artistry Publications, Inc., to be
the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The financial statements before the
date of Share Exchange are those of Gold Industry, Ltd., with the results of
Artistry Publications, Inc. being consolidated from the date of Share Exchange.
The equity section and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to
reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In the
first, second and third quarter of fiscal 2011, the adoption of accounting
standards had no material impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Issued
But Not Yet Adopted
In
December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805):
Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. ASU
2010-29 specifies that, for material business combinations when comparative
financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity
should be disclosed as though the business combination had occurred as of the
beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-09 also
expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the
nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly
attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma
revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-09 is effective prospectively for business
combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. We are currently
evaluating the impact this update will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by
management to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities
VIEs are
generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities
without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders
lack adequate decision making ability. Each VIE with which the Company is
involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and
rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE
for financial reporting purposes.
The
Company has concluded that Foguang is a VIE and that the Company’s indirect
wholly owned subsidiary, Ran Ji, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the
activities of Foguang, and enable the Company to receive a majority of Foguang’s
expected residual returns. Accordingly, the Company accounts for Foguang as a
VIE.
Because
the Company and Foguang are under common control, the initial measurement of the
assets and liabilities of Foguang for the purpose of consolidation by the
Company is at book value. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has
had any other business activities except for entering into the Contractual
Arrangements with Foguang and its shareholders. For the purpose of presenting
the financial statements on a consistent basis, the consolidated financial
statements are prepared as if the Company had been in existence since April 1,
2007 and throughout the year ended March 31, 2010 and period ended December 31,
2010.
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements for the
Company, its subsidiaries and the VIE. All significant inter-company
transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIE are
eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Significant estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements include the fair value of financial instruments, the useful
lives of and impairment for property and equipment, estimates of intangible
assets, and accruals for taxes due. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements and
Financial Instruments
|
Level
one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
|
|
|
Level
two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or
indirectly observable; and
|
|
Level
three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions,
which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions
that a market participant would
use.
|
Determining
which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires
significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each
quarter.
Assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as

The
Company issued 701,126 warrants in connection with the February 2010 private
placement of 1,402,262 shares of common stock, during the year ended March 31,
2010. 70,113 warrants were issued to the placement agent. The strike
price of these warrants is $4.10 per share. These warrants were not issued with
the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset,
liability or any net investment in a foreign operation.
These
warrants were issued with a down-round provision whereby the exercise price
would be adjusted downward in the event that, during additional shares of the
Company’s common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable
for the Company’s common stock were issued at a price less than the exercise
price. Therefore, according to the guidance provided in FASB ASC 815-40-15-5
through 815-40-15-8, which was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009, the
Company accounted for these warrants as derivative liabilities. All changes in
the fair value of these warrants were recognized in statement of income until
they are exercised or expire or otherwise extinguished. As of
December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a gain of $334,893 for the
re-measurement of the derivative liability.

Financial Instruments: The
carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, prepayments and deposits,
trade payables, accruals and other payables, and short-term notes payable
approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such
instruments.
It is
management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest,
price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. In respect of
foreign currency risk, the Company is not exposed to this risk as majority of
its trading transactions are denominated in its functional
currency.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For the
purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company
extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition,
generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally
dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company periodically
reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful
accounts. The Company maintains certain amounts of its cash at state-owned banks
in the PRC and has some cash on hand. The total cash balances maintained in
accounts at these state-owned banks are not insured. The Company has
not experienced any losses on such accounts.
The
Company maintains additional cash in a US bank which, at times, may exceed
federally insured limits. The amounts in excess of the federally
insured limits were $259,258 and $2,703,253 at December 31, 2010 and March 31,
2010, respectively.
Country
Risk
As the
Company's principal operations are conducted in the PRC, the Company is subject
to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in the United States. These risks include, among others, risks
associated with the political, economic and legal environments and foreign
currency exchange limitations encountered in the PRC. The Company's results of
operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social
conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to
laws and regulations, among other things.

In
addition, all of the Company's transactions undertaken in the PRC are
denominated in RMB, which must be converted into other currencies before
remittance out of the PRC may be considered. Both the conversion of RMB into
foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign currencies abroad require the
approval of the PRC government.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined in accordance with
GAAP, specifically ASC 360-10. In addition to direct land acquisition, land
development and plot development costs, when applicable costs also include
interest, any real estate taxes and direct overhead related to development and
construction, which are capitalized to inventory during periods beginning with
the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction.
If any cemetery sections are temporarily closed, no additional interest is
allocated to that specific area plot inventory until it re-opens, and other
carrying costs are expensed as incurred. Once a parcel of land has been
approved for development and we open the plots for sale, it can typically take
several more years to fully develop, sell and deliver all the plots. Longer or
shorter time periods are possible depending on the number of plot sites in a
section and the sales and delivery pace of the plots. Our cemetery may take up
to ten years or more to complete. Because our inventory is considered a
long-lived asset under GAAP, we are required to regularly review the carrying
value of each of our plots and write down the value of those plots for which we
believe the values are not recoverable.
When the
profitability of an area of plots deteriorates, the sales pace declines
significantly or some other factor indicates a possible impairment in the
recoverability of the asset, the asset is reviewed for impairment by comparing
the estimated future undiscounted cash flow for the plot to its carrying value.
If the estimated future undiscounted cash flow is less than the designated
area plots’ carrying value, the carrying value is written down to its
estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is primarily determined by
discounting the estimated future cash flow. The impairment is charged to cost of
revenues in the period in which the impairment is determined. In estimating the
future undiscounted cash flow of an area of plots, we use various estimates such
as: (a) the expected sales pace in a community, based upon general economic
conditions that will have a short-term or long-term impact on the market in
which the community is located and on competition within the market, including
the number of plot sites available and pricing and incentives being offered by
us or by other cemeteries; (b) the expected sales prices and sales
incentives to be offered on the plots; (c) costs expended to date and
expected to be incurred in the future, including, but not limited to, land and
land development costs, plot construction costs, interest costs and overhead
costs; and (d) alternative uses for the
property.
Work in Progress – Cemetery
Property
Work in
progress – cemetery property includes the costs of materials, labor and overhead
costs associated with constructing walls, roads and other infrastructure costs
in the Company’s cemetery. Upon completion of the project, the
capitalized work in progress costs will be allocated moved into
inventory.
Contributed
Property
The
Company received land use rights from the PRC government for no consideration
paid. The Company recorded the fair value of the land use rights as an
intangible asset and deferred revenue as determined by management with the
advice of PRC legal counsel and third party consultants.
Article
12 of the PRC’s Regulations on the Land Use Right sets forth the maximum term of
land use rights for different uses as follows: (1) 70 years for residential use;
(2) 50 years for industrial use; (3) 50 years for educational, technological,
cultural, health, and sport site use; (4) 40 years for commercial, tourist and
recreational use; (5) 50 years for comprehensive or other use; and (6) 20 years
for gas station use. Article 11 of the PRC’s Regulations on Funeral
Administration stipulates that the term of the use of cemetery land or grave
yard shall be determined by each provincial government. Article 21 of the
Chongqing Funeral Rules states that the land use rights for graves shall be no
more than 20 years, subject to renewal. Foguang’s land use rights consist of two
parts: one piece of allocated land and contributed by the PRC government and one
piece of land leased from local farmers which the Company acquired by paying
$835,000. The leased land is comprised of both farm land and residential land.
The farm land is subject to a maximum term of 20 years and the Company has a
priority to renew the lease when it expires. The residential land is under a
lease term of 100 years.
The
valuation on the land was done by an unrelated third party. This third
party calculated the value of the land by:
·
|
Comparing
the land valuation to other properties in the
area.
|
·
|
Calculating
the amount of revenue that could be generated off of the land if used
differently, such as farming.
|
·
|
Measuring
the parcel of land and checking with the government to make sure that the
identified land was correct.

Revenue and Cost
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured,
it is probably that economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific
criteria have been met for the Company’s revenue producing activities. Four
basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred with no future
other than perfunctory performance obligations; (3) the selling price is fixed
and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) is based on management's judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the
collectability of those amounts.
The
Company has one revenue source and the following revenue recognition
policies:
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of cemetery plots when it is realized
or realizable and earnings process is complete. In general, a potential customer
will tour the Company’s facility and choose a particular spot or location of the
cemetery plot that is ready and available for use. A sales agreement is
executed with Foguang for the exact location at a fixed price. The sales process
ends when the consideration is paid in full, at which time, the Company provides
the customer full access to the use of the plot. The Company does not
provide any other post-death type services, other than to develop and sell the
cemetery plots, obtain executed agreements, full payment and deliver the keys to
the plot embedded in a concrete box. The Company records revenue when the title
or right to use the completed cemetery plot has passed to the customer in
accordance with the terms of the fixed price sale agreement and consideration is
exchanged.
The
construction time of the Company plots is generally less than one year, although
some plot areas may take more than one year to complete. Revenues and cost of
revenues from these plot sales are recorded at the time each plot is delivered
and title and possession are transferred to the buyer.
For
standard plots, land, land development and related costs, incurred and estimated
to be incurred in the future, are amortized to the cost of plots closed based
upon the total number of plots to be constructed in each area. Any changes
resulting from a change in the estimated number of plots to be constructed or in
the estimated costs subsequent to the commencement of delivery of plots are
allocated to the remaining undelivered plots in the area. Plot construction and
related costs are charged to the cost of plots closed under the specific
identification method. The estimated land, common area development and related
costs of a cemetery area, including the cost of the surrounding grounds, net of
their estimated residual value, are allocated to individual cemetery plot areas
within the cemetery on a relative sales value basis. Any changes resulting from
a change in the estimated number of plots to be constructed or in the estimated
costs are allocated to the remaining plot sites in each of the area of overall
cemetery.
Any
changes resulting from a change in the estimated total costs or revenues of the
project are allocated to the remaining units to be delivered.
Sales
Incentives: In order to promote sales of the Company’s plots,
the Company grants cemetery plot buyers sales incentives from time-to-time.
These incentives will vary by type of incentive and by amount on cemetery
area-by-area and plot-by-plot basis. Incentives that impact the value of the
plot or the sales price paid, such as special or additional options are
generally reflected as a reduction in sales revenues. Incentives that we pay to
an outside sales representative are recorded as an additional cost of revenues.
Incentives are recognized at the time the plot is delivered to the plot buyer
and we receive the sales proceeds.

Cost of Goods
Sold
The costs
associated with revenue from sale of cemetery plots are the costs to convert the
land into the actual burial plots. Additionally, direct selling costs
incurred in selling the cemetery plots are recorded in cost of goods
sold. Cost of goods sold includes the capitalized costs of cemetery
plots sold and services provided by the Company to third parties for development
of cemetery plots.
Advertising
Advertising
is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were included in selling
expenses. Advertising expense amounted to $203,152 and $142,982 for
the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Foreign Currency
Translation
As of
December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the accounts of the Company were
maintained, and its consolidated financial statements were expressed, in RMB.
Such consolidated financial statements were translated into USD with RMB as the
functional currency. All assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange
rate on the consolidated balance sheet dates, stockholders’ equity are
translated at the historical rates and the statements of income items are
translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting
translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive
income.
Transaction
gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the
results of operations as incurred. Such amounts were not material during each of
the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Cash flow
from the Company's operations included in the statement of cash flows is
calculated based upon the functional currency using the average translation
rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the
statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with arithmetical changes in
the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet. No presentation is
made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at
the rates used in translation.
Earnings per Common
Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing
net income available to common shareholders (as adjusted for income and expenses
arising from certain potentially dilutive securities) by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially
dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common
shares consist of common stock warrants (using the treasury stock
method).
For the
three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the earning per common
share was $0.39 and $0.47 respectively. For the nine month period ended December
31, 2010 and 2009, the earning per common share is $1.14.
Comprehensive
Income
Comprehensive
income or loss is defined as the change in equity during a period resulting from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The
Company’s total comprehensive income or loss consists of net unrealized income
or loss from foreign currency translation adjustments and net income. The
Company has presented comprehensive income on the Consolidated Statements of
Income and Comprehensive Income.

During
the second quarter of the fiscal year end 2011, the Company’s management
modified the strategy for the development and construction of cemetery
plots. Historically, the cemetery plots were developed in batches of
approximately 500 plots, which were completed on a monthly basis. The
walls, roads, and other infrastructure were only built where necessary for the
individual batch. On May 20, 2010, the Company entered into a
Construction Agreement (“Construction Agreement”) with Chongqing Hongxing
Construction Co., Ltd. (“Hongxing”) for the construction of
infrastructure within the Liyuan Zone on its Guiyuan II cemetery
plots. The Company achieved favorable contract terms with Hongxing
due to Hongxing’s excess capacity and Foguang agreeing to develop approximately
7,000 cemetery plots at a time instead of 500 cemetery plots at a time. As such,
the Company was able to reduce average cost per cemetery plot by approximately
5% through economy of scale. The term of the construction project
was estimated to be 250 days. The construction of cemetery plots within the
Liyuan Zone was completed in February 2011 pursuant to the terms of the
Construction Agreement. At the completion of the project, all costs associated
with developing walls, roads, and other infrastructure were reclassified into
inventory.

During
2009, the Company leased land use rights for an additional 377,634 square meters
from a group of local farmers and villagers for a period of 20 years, subject to
renewals, in exchange for a cash payment of approximately
$840,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the payment was made to the PRC
government for the benefit of the local farmers and villagers. The
Company is also obligated to pay an annual fee of approximately $23,000 for the
duration of the lease to the farmers. None of this land area was developed as of

expense on the consolidated balance sheet. The villagers and farmers were
originally located in Longqiao and Qianfo villages. The cash received by the PRC
from the Company is expected to be redistributed to the local farmers and
villagers by the government as a payment for relocating them to ChangShou Jiang
Nan. The Company also agreed to clear land for the building of these homes
at the relocated site.

In
February 2009, Foguang recorded a prepayment related to a contract in the amount
of $4,101,970 (7% of the contract), for the construction of entertainment boats
in connection with a project to develop a park near the Longqiao Lake as a way
to attract tourism in the Changshou area near Guiyuan II. The scope of the
project contemplated the construction of 10 to 20 entertainment boats, a welcome
center, a large sailboat and nine docks. On February 27, 2009,
Foguang executed a contract with Chongqing Bo Gao Tourism Company (“Bo Gao”), an
unrelated third party, to jointly develop such project. In September 2009,
Foguang took over as the sole developer on this project.
As of
September 30, 2010, the project had been temporarily halted by Foguang due to
funds being used to focus on Foguang’s cemetery development
projects. Foguang planned to resume the project at a later time. Foguang
expected delivery of some of the boats by December 2010 and the remaining boats
in fiscal year 2012. As of September 30, 2010, Foguang’s total prepayment for
this project was $8,682,600. The cost incurred with the project
decreased by approximately $1,439,700 because construction costs was capitalized
and moved into inventory. The total price of the contract was
approximately $64,000,000.
As of
December 31, 2010, Foguang has made a decision to terminate and divest this
project entirely in order to focus completely on its cemetery
operations. Foguang is currently taking bids for the project and
initial findings show that the company should be able to recover the full costs
incurred to date. Foguang will have no liability in this project going forward
and believes that the divesture of the project will occur during fiscal year
2012.

Land use
rights are stated at the estimated fair value on the contribution date less
accumulated units of production costs and any impairment losses. The land use
rights are expensed on ratable basis based on the number of plots developed over
the life of the rights.
During
2005, the Company received land use rights for 339,444 square meters for a
period of 20 years, subject to four 20-year renewals, which were contributed by
the PRC government for no consideration. The Company recorded this transaction
at fair value of approximately $13.6 million as determined by management after
consultation with PRC counsel and consultants. The land use rights
include the Company’s cemetery site located in Changshou. Under PRC regulations,
all land in the PRC is state-owned. The Company’s management
determined the fair market value of the land use rights based upon the actual
square meters of useable land underlying the land use rights. The Company
expects approximately 210,000 plots can be developed and sold from the 339,444
square meters of land.

The grant
date fair values of restricted stock awards which vested during the period ended
December 31, 2010 was approximately $1,030,000.
As of
December 31, 2010, there was approximately $510,000 of unrecognized compensation
cost related to unvested outstanding restricted stock. The Company expects to
recognize these costs over a weighted average period of 0.25 year.
The fair
value of the common stock issued to non-employees for services provided pursuant
to FASB ASC 505-50-30-6 was determined by the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock as reported on the OTCBB on the date of grant. In
accordance with ASC 505-50-S99-1, the Company did not recognize the issuance of
the share-based payments that were unvested and forfeitable at the measurement
date. The Company recognizes and records the equity and the expense as the
common shares vest and services have been provided.
Common
shares that had no vesting, were not forfeitable and had no disincentives for
the counterparty were valued at the fair market value on the date of grant and
recognized as issued and expensed.
Cash
Dividends
To date,
we have not paid any cash dividends and no cash dividends will be paid in the
foreseeable future. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our

may provide identical or similar products, such a change could result in delays
and a possible loss of sales. The Company did have long-term
contracts with its suppliers for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and
year ended March 31, 2010.

NOTE
18 – STATUTORY RESERVES
The laws
and regulations of the PRC require that before a foreign-invested enterprise can
legally distribute profits, it must first satisfy all tax liabilities, provide
for losses in previous years, and make allocations in proportions determined at
the discretion of the board of directors, after the statutory reserve. The
statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund and the enterprise fund.
Additionally, the Chinese government restricts distributions of registered
capital and the additional investment amounts required by a foreign-invested
enterprise. Approval by the Chinese government must be obtained before
distributions of these amounts can be returned to the shareholders.
Statutory Surplus Reserve
Fund
Foguang
is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance
with the PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve
fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered
capital.
The
transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of any dividends to
shareholders. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, Foguang
transferred $1,543,354 and $1,033,434, respectively, to this reserve. The
surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can
be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any. It may also be utilized for
business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to
existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the
par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining
reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered
capital.

conjunction with its financial statements and the related notes, and the other
financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form

Forward-Looking
Statements
This Form
10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The words "anticipated," "believe,"
"expect, "plan," "intend," "seek," "estimate," "project," "could," "may" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements include, among others, information
regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash

respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and
uncertainties, including, without limitation, general economic and business
conditions, changes in foreign, political, social, and economic conditions,
regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, the ability
to achieve further market penetration and additional customers, and various
other matters, many of which are beyond our control. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions
prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from
those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise
indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made
in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no
assurance of the actual results or developments.
Overview
China
Redstone Group, Inc. (the “ Company ”), through
our operating entity, Chongqing Foguang Tourism Development (Group) Co., Ltd. (“
Foguang ”), is
a private provider of cemetery products and services in Chongqing, People’s
Republic of China (“ PRC ” or “ China ”). Foguang is
primarily focused on developing cemeteries and selling cemetery plots, although
it also provides park and garden development and construction
services.
Foguang’s
first cemetery development project is the Chongqing Guiyuan Cemetery I (“Guiyuan I”), located
in Changshou District of Chongqing on approximately 66,660 square meters of
land. All cemetery plots in Guiyuan I have been sold, at an average price of RMB
30,000 ($4,450) per plot. Foguang is currently developing the Chongqing Guiyuan
Cemetery II (“Guiyuan
II”), its second cemetery project in Changshou. Guiyuan II, in
development since 2002, occupies a land over 667,000 square meters, of which
approximately 69,930 square meters have been developed to date. Of the
undeveloped portion of Guiyuan II, approximately 565,000 square meters are
identified as land to be developed for cemetery use, and the remaining area will
be developed as housing, parking and office space in the future.
In
addition, the Chongqing municipal government has committed to enable Foguang to
secure the land use rights to approximately 1,194,804 square meters of land
surrounding Longqiao Lake, which portions of Guiyuan II overlook. However, as of
the date of this Form-10-Q, Foguang has yet to officially receive such land use
rights. Based on comparable land use rights granted by the government to others,
Foguang estimates that its payment obligations may be between $2.25 million to
$2.7 million for the land use rights. However, such obligations
should not impact Foguang’s ongoing liquidity because it has sufficient cash
flow from its operations for the estimated payment obligations. Foguang
is planning to develop this land as a memorial park, with mausoleums and
temples, to complement and enhance Guiyuan II (the “Longqiao Lake Project”). Foguang also
intends to cultivate and produce flower seedlings around the Longqiao Lake area
as part of the project. Some of the seedlings will be used for the development
of Guiyuan II, and the remaining seedlings will be sold either to the Changshou
district government for urban landscaping or to outside parties for
profit.
In 2011,
Foguang originally had plans to develop tourism, leisure, entertainment, dining
accommodation, transportation and other comprehensive services and facilities in
a project known as the Liang Jiang Yu Project. Foguang entered into the contract
for tourism development with Chongqing Bo Gao Tourism Company (“Bo Gao”) pursuant to
the Tourism Development Contract dated February 27, 2009 and a Supplemental
Contract dated April 13, 2009 (collectively, “Tourism Development
Contract”). The scope of the project contemplated the
construction of 10 to 20 entertainment boats, a welcome center, a large sailboat
and nine docks. The total price of this project was $64,000,000. Foguang
made a total prepayment of $8,682,600 and would pay the remaining balance of the
project at the completion of the project. Pursuant to the terms of the Tourism
Development Contract, Bo Gao was responsible to obtain a loan in the amount of
20 million RMB from the local government. Neither Bo Gao nor Foguang
obtained such loan from the local government. In September 2009, Foguang
took over as the sole developer of this project. As of September 30, 2010, such
project had been temporarily suspended by Foguang due to funds being used to
focus on its cemetery operations. As of December 31, 2010, Foguang made a
decision to terminate and divest this project entirely in order to focus on its
cemetery operations. Foguang is currently taking bids for the project and
initial findings show that it should be able to recover the full costs incurred
to date. Foguang will have no liability in this project going forward and
believes that the divesture of the project will occur during fiscal year
2012.
Foguang
plans to take advantage of the agreement with the municipal government to secure
the land use rights around the Longqiao Lake to develop its property designated
as cemetery real estate. Foguang’s primary focus will be to finish the
development of Guiyuan II. By the end of fiscal year 2011, the first
phase of land acquisition and the construction of the cemetery and supporting
facilities within the acquired land should be completed. After the completion of
Guiyuan II, Foguang’s focus will be the development of the Longqiao Lake
Project. Foguang decided that it will not be in its best interest to continue
with the construction of boats, hotels and other entertainment projects under
the Liang Jiang Yu Project. Foguang wanted to make the best use of
its time and assets to focus on developing Guiyuan II and the Longqiao Lake
Project.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based on our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities
and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments,
including those related to accrued expenses, fair valuation of stock related to
stock-based compensation and income taxes. We based our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be 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 under different assumptions or conditions.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated
financial statements.
CONSOLIDATION
OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
VIEs are
generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities
without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders
lack adequate decision making ability. Each VIE with which the Company is
involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and
rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE
for financial reporting purposes.
The
Company has concluded that Foguang is a VIE and that the Company’s indirect
wholly owned subsidiary, Ran Ji, absorbs a majority of the risk of loss from the
activities of Foguang, and enable the Company to receive a majority of Foguang’s
expected residual returns. Accordingly, the Company accounts for Foguang as a
VIE.
For the
purpose of presenting the financial statements on a consistent basis, the
consolidated financial statements are prepared as if the Company had been in
existence since April 1, 2007 and throughout the year ended March 31, 2010 and
period ended December 31, 2010. The consolidated financial statements
include the financial statements for the Company, its subsidiaries and the
VIE. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between
the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIE are eliminated upon
consolidation.
FOREIGN
CURRENCY TRANSLATION
As of
December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the accounts of the Company were
maintained, and its consolidated financial statements were expressed, in RMB.
Such consolidated financial statements were translated into USD with RMB as the
functional currency. The resulting translation adjustments are
reported under other comprehensive income.
Transaction
gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the
results of operations as incurred. Such amounts were not material during each of
the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
INVENTORY
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined in accordance with
GAAP. In addition to direct land acquisition, land development and plot
development costs, when applicable costs also include interest, any real estate
taxes and direct overhead related to development and construction, which are
capitalized to inventory during periods beginning with the commencement of
development and ending with the completion of constructionOnce a parcel of land
has been approved for development and we open the plots for sale, it can
typically take several more years to fully develop, sell and deliver all the
plotsBecause our inventory is considered a long-lived asset under GAAP, we are
required to regularly review the carrying value of each of our plots and write
down the value of those plots for which we believe the values are not
recoverable.
- 24
-
CONTRIBUTED
PROPERTY
The
Company received land use rights from the PRC government for no consideration
paid. The Company recorded the fair value of the land use rights as an
intangible asset and deferred revenue as determined by management with the
advice of PRC legal counsel and third party consultants.
REVENUE
AND COST RECOGNITION
The
Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured,
it is probably that economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific
criteria have been met for the Company’s revenue producing activities. Four
basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred with no future
other than perfunctory performance obligations; (3) the selling price is fixed
and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) is based on management's judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the
collectability of those amounts.
The
Company currently has one revenue source and the following revenue recognition
policies:
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of cemetery plots when it is realized
or realizable and earnings process is complete. In general, a potential customer
will tour the Company’s facility and choose a particular spot or location of the
cemetery plot that is ready and available for use. A sales agreement is
executed with Foguang for the exact location at a fixed price. The sales process
ends when the consideration is paid in full, at which time, the Company provides
the customer full access to the use of the plot. The Company does not
provide any other post-death type services, other than to develop and sell the
cemetery plots, obtain executed agreements, full payment and deliver the keys to
the plot embedded in a concrete box. The Company records revenue when the title
or right to use the completed cemetery plot has passed to the customer in
accordance with the terms of the fixed price sale agreement and consideration is
exchanged.
Any
changes resulting from a change in the estimated total costs or revenues of the
project are allocated to the remaining units to be delivered.
Sales
Incentives: In order to promote sales of the Company’s plots,
the Company grants cemetery plot buyers sales incentives from time-to-time.
These incentives will vary by type of incentive and by amount on cemetery
area-by-area and plot-by-plot basis. Incentives that impact the value of the
plot or the sales price paid, such as special or additional options are
generally reflected as a reduction in sales revenues. Incentives that we pay to
an outside sales representative are recorded as an additional cost of revenues.
Incentives are recognized at the time the plot is delivered to the plot buyer
and we receive the sales proceeds.
STOCK
HOLDERS EQUITY
The fair
value of the common stock issued to non-employees for services provided pursuant
to FASB ASC 505-50-30-6 was determined by the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock as reported on the OTCBB on the date of grant. In
accordance with ASC 505-50-S99-1, the Company did not recognize the issuance of
the share-based payments that were unvested and forfeitable at the measurement
date. The Company recognizes and records the equity and the expense as the
common shares vest and services have been provided. Common shares
that had no vesting, were not forfeitable and had no disincentives for the
counterparty were valued at the fair market value on the date of grant and
recognized as issued and expensed.
DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS – WARRANTS
The
Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of warrants to purchase
common stock. The warrants have certain price reset feature, which causes
them to be classified as a liability. The accounting treatment of derivative
financial instruments required that we record the derivatives at their fair
values as of the issuance date and at fair value as of each subsequent balance
sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating,
non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value
of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, we recorded
a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the
derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, we recorded
non-operating, non-cash income. At December 31, 2010, the warrant
derivatives were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing
Model.
Financial Instruments: The
carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, prepayments and deposits,
trade payables, accruals and other payables, and short-term notes payable
approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such
instruments.
- 25
-
It is
management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest,
price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. In respect of
foreign currency risk, the Company is not exposed to this risk as majority of
its trading transactions are denominated in its functional
currency.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
In the
first, second and third quarter of fiscal 2011, the adoption of accounting
standards had no material impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In
December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805):
Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. ASU
2010-29 specifies that, for material business combinations when comparative
financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity
should be disclosed as though the business combination had occurred as of the
beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-09 also
expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the
nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly
attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma
revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-09 is effective prospectively for business
combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. . We are currently
evaluating the impact this update will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by
management to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

Cemetery
For the
three month period ended December 31, 2010, cemetery revenues increased by
$687,578 or 6.0% from the comparable three month period ended December 31,
2009. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2010, cemetery
revenues increased by $9,300,122 or 35.1% from the comparable nine month period
ended December 31, 2009. The significant increase in revenues was mainly
attributable to the development of new cemetery, which led to an increase of
sales of cemetery plots and cemetery plot price. The new cemetery is
being built on approximately 11 acres of land and will have approximately 7,000
plots. The new cemetery plots were located on more desirable property
which was higher up on the hill and had better views of the lake. The new
cemetery plots are being sold for approximately 17% more than the old cemetery
plots.
- 26
-
The total
number of cemetery plots sold decreased by 537 plots from 2,219 for three month
period ended December 31, 2009 to 1,682 for the comparable three month period
ended December 31, 2010. Even though the number of units decreased, the average
sales price per unit increased. The average sales price increased by
approximately $1,876 per cemetery plot. The total number of cemetery plots sold
increased by 135 plots from 5,127 for the nine month period ended December 31,
2009 to 5,262 for the comparable nine month period ended December 31, 2010. In
addition, the average sales price increased by approximately $1,602 per cemetery
plot. The increase in cemetery revenues was also attributable to better
marketing as Foguang started to focus its advertising costs on television
advertisements in targeted areas and increased incentives for its sales agents
and hired additional agents to better promote and sell its services and
products. Also, with the new cemetery development, we were able to increase
average cemetery plot prices. The new cemetery plots were located on
a more desirable property which was higher up on the hill and had better views
of the lake. The new cemetery plots are being sold for approximately 17% more
than the old cemetery plots. The overall improvement of local
economic conditions in Chongqing with the economy starting to grow at
approximately 8% also contributed to the increase of economic value of
Foguang’s cemetery and increased the number of cemeteries sold. The local
economic environment experienced overall improvement in fiscal 2011 due to the
assistance of large-scale state-owned enterprises and their projects in the
Chongqing area has helped the economy to grow at approximately 8%.
Cost
of Sales
Cost of
sales includes amortization of land use rights, raw materials, conversion costs,
direct labor, manufacturing costs, and utilities. For the three month period
ended December 31, 2010, cost of sales amounted to $4,453,447 or approximately
36.8% of total net revenues as compared to $5,339,808 or approximately 46.8% of
total net revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 2009. For the
nine month period ended December 31, 2010, cost of sales amounted to $13,714,710
or approximately 38.3% of total net revenues as compared to $12,110,391 or 45.8%
of total net revenues for the nine month period ended December 31, 2009. The
decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of total net revenues was primarily
due to economies of scale. We were able to cut the average cost for
per cemetery plot by approximately 5% by developing plots a larger
scale. Foguang achieved favorable contract terms with a supplier due
to such supplier’s excess capacity and our agreeing to develop approximately
7,000 cemetery plots at a time instead of 500 cemetery plots at a time. Costs
associated with the development of the cemetery were reduced because of an
improvement in the production process and the more efficient use of technology.
Specifically, a change was made to the way shale stone memorials were casted
into cement walls for the cemetery which significantly decreased labor costs and
materials. The new technology led to a 60% decrease in the use of raw material
for the construction of the cemetery cement walls, which lead to a cost savings
on average of approximately 3% per cemetery plot.
Total
cost of sales decreased by $886,361 or 16.6% for the three month period ended
December 31, 2010 as compared to the three month period ended December 31,
2009. Total cost of sales increased by $1,604,319 or 13.2% for the
nine month period ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the nine month period
ended December 31, 2009. The decrease and increase were attributable to the
following:
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the three month and nine month periods ended December 31, 2010 was
$7,637,716 or 63.2% and $22,052,913 or 61.7% of total net revenues,
respectively, as compared to $6,063,777 or 53.2% and $14,357,110 or 54.2% of
total net revenues for the comparable three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit was attributable to a decrease
in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales as Foguang was able to
develop cemetery plots for a cheaper price due to the advantage of economies of
scale. Foguang was also able to sell higher margin products since it was able to
utilize its historical sales records to develop and sell higher margin cemetery
plots. In the cemetery industry, the sale of a deluxe tomb is able to generate a
20% higher margin for Foguang as compared to the basic tombs. Foguang was able
to charge higher sales prices as it developed the second phase of the cemetery,
which was on more desirable land. As Foguang continues to develop its
cemeteries, it will focus on the development of such deluxe tombs to achieve
higher profit margins. In addition, Foguang utilizes Feng Shui concepts to
develop its cemetery with the best “Feng Shui” to attract more customers. By
having good “Feng Shui”, Foguang is able market its cemetery plots at higher
sales prices while keeping the cost of sales relatively constant to achieve
higher profit margins. The new cemetery plots are located
on more desirable property which is higher up on the hill and has
better views of the lake. The new cemetery plots are being sold for
approximately 17% more than the old cemetery plots.

Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 were
$668,095, an increase of $24,897 or 3.9% from total operating expenses in the
three month period ended December 31, 2009 of $[643,198]. Total operating
expenses for the nine month period ended December 31, 2010 were $3,241,546, an
increase of $1,844,364 or 132.0% from total operating expenses in the nine month
period ended December 31, 2009 of $1,397,182. This increase included the
following:
For the
three months ended December 31, 2010, selling expenses amounted to $67,953 as
compared to $61,641 for the same period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of
$6,312 or 10.2%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, selling expenses
amounted to $203,152 as compared to $142,982 for the same period ended December
31, 2009, an increase of $60,170 or 42.1%. Foguang incurred more selling
expenses for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2010 due to the
increase in number of cemetery plots sold, as we had more expenses associated
with sales that came with the higher volume.
For the
three months ended December 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses
amounted to $600,142 as compared to $581,557 for the same period ended December
31, 2009, an increase of $18,585 or 3.2%. For the nine months ended December 31,
2010, general and administrative expenses amounted to $3,038,394 as compared to
$1,254,200 for the same period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of
$1,784,194 or 142.3%. The substantial increase in expenses was mainly
attributable to the increase in salary and wages and to non-cash stock for
compensation for directors and consultants to the company. In
addition, the cost of gasoline has also increased which increased Foguang’s
transportation costs and costs reimbursed to sales agents for taking the
customers to view the cemetery. Our general and administrative expenses
increased due to the overall increase of labor costs and rise of inflation in
China. For example, the cost to print a high quality pamphlet used in our sales
offices went from $.03 to $.05, up 67%. In addition, we incurred additional
expenses for being a public company in the United States for the three and nine
month periods ended December 31, 2010, which included legal and auditing
expenses.
Income
from Operations
We
reported income from operations of $6,969,621 for the three month period ended
December 31, 2010 as compared to income from operations of $5,420,579 for the
same period ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,549,042 or approximately
28.6%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, income from operations
amounted to $18,811,367 as compared to $12,959,928 for the same period ended
December 31, 2009, an increase of $5,851,439 or 45.2%. The increase in income
from operations was attributable to [the increase in the sale of cemetery
plots]. In addition, we were able to increase the average price of
cemetery plot as we expanded into new developments, which had a more desirable
location. The local economic environment experienced overall improvement in
fiscal 2011 due to the assistance of large-scale state-owned enterprises and
their projects in the Chongqing area, which led to higher overall consumer
consumption. The significant increase in income from operations was mainly
attributable to Foguang’s overall development momentum and a healthy sales
pipeline. Foguang has been able to increase traffic to the cemetery and build
momentum, which makes the rest of the cemetery land more desirable and
valuable.
Other
Income and Expenses
For the
three months ended December 31, 2010, total other expense amounted to $222,920
as compared to total other income of $150,451 for the three months ended
December 31, 2009, a decrease of $373,371 or 248.2% from the comparable period
in 2009. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, total other income
amounted to $832,780 as compared to $352,153 from the comparable period in 2009,
an increase of $480,627 or 136.5%. The change was primarily attributable the
following:
For the
three months ends December 31, 2010, other income amounted to $110,505 as
compared to $140,824 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of
$30,319 or 21.5%. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2010,
other income amounted to $451,392 as compared to $325,536 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $125,856 or 38.7%. The change was
primarily attributable to deferred revenue recorded as other income, which
increased with the increase in the sale of cemetery plots over the prior
period.
For the
three months ended December 31, 2010, loss on change in fair value of warrants
classified as derivatives amounted to $329,606 as compared to $0 for the three
months ended December 31, 2009. This change was primarily attributable to share
price changes, which lead to loss on change in fair value of warrants classified
as derivatives. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, gain on
change in fair value of warrants classified as derivatives amounted to $334,893
as compared to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. This change was
primarily attributable to warrants that were issued in connection with the sale
of company shares in private placement transaction during February
2010.

For the
three months ended December 31, 2010, interest expenses decreased by 13.6% from
$50,751 as compared to $58,759]for the three months ended December 31,
2009. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, interest expenses
decreased by 11.3% from $157,426 as compared to $177,559 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2009. The change was primarily attributable to Foguang’s
payoff of short-term loans of approximately $2,559,000 reducing interest expense
for the period ended December 31, 2010.
For the
three months ended December 31, 2010, rental income, net amounted to $42,348 as
compared to $65,438 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of
35.3% from the comparable period in 2009. For the nine months ended December 31,
2010, rental income, net amounted to $163,137 as compared to $196,304 for the
nine months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of 16.9%. This change was
primarily due to depreciation costs decrease as the building is depreciated over
its useful economic life decrease rental fees.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Nine
Months Ended December 31, 2010
For the
nine months ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities
was $20,512,391, as compared to $8,054,724 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2009.
The
significant increase was primarily attributable to decreased inventory costs and
prepayment to suppliers. The inventory cash flow decreased, which can be broken
down into four components. Inventory decreased by $2,639,515, intangible
assets associated with the sale of inventory decreased by $274,031, costs
incurred for real estate projects in progress decreased by $1,668,700, and a
decrease of $1,001 from foreign exchange rate fluctuation.
For the
nine months ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was
$19,176,607 as compared to $4,841,130 used in investing activities for the nine
months ended December 31, 2009.
The
increase was primarily attributable to cash paid for work in progress – cemetery
inventory developed for sale for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 is more
than the cash paid for inventory developed for sales for nine months ended
December 31, 2009.
During
the second quarter of fiscal year end 2011, the Company’s management modified
the strategy for the development and construction of cemetery
plots. Historically, the cemetery plots were developed in batches of
approximately 500 plots, which were completed on a monthly basis. The
walls, roads, and other infrastructure were only built where necessary for the
individual batch. On May 20, 2010, the Company entered into a
Construction Agreement (“Construction Agreement”) with Chongqing Hongxing
Construction Co., Ltd. (“Hongxing”) for the construction of
infrastructure within the Liyuan Zone on its Guiyuan II cemetery
plots. The Company achieved favorable contract terms with Hongxing
due to Hongxing’s excess capacity and Foguang agreeing to develop approximately
7,000 cemetery plots at a time instead of 500 cemetery plots at a time. As such,
the Company was able to reduce average cost per cemetery plot by approximately
5% through economy of scale. The term of the
construction project was estimated to be 250 days. The construction of cemetery
plots within the Liyuan Zone was completed in February 2011 pursuant to the
terms of the Construction Agreement. At the completion of the project, all costs
associated with developing walls, roads, and other infrastructure were
reclassified into inventory.
Details
of the project were as follows:
·
|
The
term of the contract is from May 20, 2010 to January 29, 2011 (250
days).
|
·
|
The
estimated total cost is approximately $19.6
million.
|
·
|
The
Company is required to pay up to 80% of the project cost, as it is being
developed on a monthly basis.

As
of December 31, 2010, the Company had paid approximately 93% of the total
contract. While the Company was only required to pay 80% of the
project costs, the Company paid the invoices in full to accelerate the
project completion.

During
the third quarter of fiscal year end 2011, the Company’s management entered into
an agreement with Hongxin for construction on the Chuangzi Temple. This
temple will not only serve a spiritual purpose but will be able to house over
10,000 urns.
Details
of the project are as follows:

The
term of the project is from November 1, 2010 to March 31. 2011 (150
days).
|
|
·
|
The
total cost of the project is approximately $3.6
million.
|
|
·
|
The
contractor is responsible for the entire project which includes earthwork,
construction of a road and temple.
|
|
·
|
The
Company will pay 80% of the monthly invoice, if the contractor does not
complete its scheduled work, then the Company will only pay 70% of the
monthly invoice.
|
|
·
|
When
the project is completed, the Company will pay the
balance.
|
|
·
|
As
of December 31, 2010, the Company had paid approximately 43% of the total
contract. While the Company was only required to pay 80% of the
project costs, the Company has paid the invoices in full to accelerate the
project completion. This incentive has kept the Company as the
contractor’s preferred customer.
|
Upon
final completion of the project, all costs associated with developing walls,
roads, and other infrastructure will be moved into inventory.
For nine
months ended December 31, 2010, the net cash used in financing activities
was $2,559,179 compared to no cash used in or provided by financing activities
for nine months ended December 31, 2009. For the nine months ended
December 31, 2010, the Company paid off all of its
loans.
We plan
to take advantage of the agreement with the municipal government to secure the
land use rights around the Longqiao Lake to develop our property designated as
cemetery real estate. Our primary focus will be to finish the
development of Guiyuan II. We plan to use all the funds of approximately $4.6
million from our February 2010 financing to develop Guiyuan II. By the end of
fiscal year 2011, we plan to complete the first phase of land acquisition and
the construction of the cemetery and supporting facilities within the acquired
land. We plan to develop 5,000 external tombs and 2,000 internal tombs. After
Guiyuan II is completed, our next focus will be the development of the Longqiao
Lake Project. We plan to develop land around the Longqiao Lake as a memorial
park, with mausoleums and temples, to complement and enhance Guiyuan II. We also
plan to expand our seedling base in the Longqiao Lake area as part of such
project. Management believes that the funds for such short-term developments can
be obtained through the sale of securities or issuance of debt instruments in
addition to our retained earnings. We expect to have enough funds for our short
term development projects.

In 2011,
we originally had plans to develop tourism, leisure, entertainment, dining
accommodation, transportation and other comprehensive services and facilities in
a project known as the Liang Jiang Yu Project. We entered into the contract for
tourism development with Chongqing Bo Gao Tourism Company (“Bo Gao”) pursuant to
the Tourism Development Contract dated February 27, 2009 and a Supplemental
Contract dated April 13, 2009 (collectively, “Tourism Development
Contract”). The scope of the project contemplated the
construction of 10 to 20 entertainment boats, a welcome center, a large sailboat
and nine docks. The total price of this project was $64,000,000. We made a
total prepayment of $8,682,600 and would pay the remaining balance of the
project at the completion of the project. Pursuant to the terms of the Tourism
Development Contract, Bo Gao was responsible to obtain a loan in the amount of
20 million RMB from the local government. Neither Bo Gao nor Foguang
obtained such loan from the local government. In September 2009, we took
over as the sole developer of this project. As of September 30, 2010, such
project had been temporarily suspended by us due to funds being used to focus on
our cemetery operations. As of December 31, 2010, we made a decision to
terminate and divest this project entirely in order to focus on our cemetery
operations. We decided that it would not be in our best interest to continue
with the construction of boats, hotels and other entertainment projects under
the Liang Jiang Yu Project. We wanted to make the best use of our
time and assets to focus on developing Guiyuan II and the Longqiao Lake
Project. We are currently taking bids for the project and
initial findings show that we should be able to recover the full costs incurred
to date. We will have no liability in this project going forward and believe
that the divesture of the project will occur during fiscal year
2012.
Our long
term development includes acquisition and merger with cemeteries locally or in
other cities. We plan to acquire Shenzhen Huaqiao Public Cemetery in 2013,
although as of the date of this Form 10-Q, we have not entered into any letter
of intent or definitive agreement in connection with such acquisition, nor have
we identified any other land or target for potential acquisition.. The funds
needed for this acquisition is approximately $100 million. In addition to
using the estimated proceeds from the exercise of warrants, we plan to finance
this acquisition with a combination of cash from operations, loans and private
placement of equity and debt, to be determined at the time of the
acquisition.
We
believe that cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to continue our operations and to pursue our
growth strategy for the next eighteen months. Our future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our revenue
growth; the timing and extent of spending to enhance our advertising and
marketing programs; investing in our sales force; the levels of the inventory we
carry; and other factors relating to our business. We will require additional
financing in the future in order to execute our operating and growth plans and
we may not be able to obtain such financing. We cannot predict whether this
additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or a combination of
debt and equity. There are no assurances that our plans will be successful, or
even be implemented.
Funding
for our business has been provided principally by cash flow from operating
activities before inventory additions, bank borrowings and equity markets. Prior
to fiscal 2009, we used our cash flow from operating activities before inventory
additions, bank borrowings and the proceeds of equity offerings, to develop
additional land for new plots needed to meet the requirements of our
backlog.
In
general, our cash flow from operating activities assumes that, as each plot is
delivered, we will develop a plot site to replace it. Because we own several
years’ supply of plot sites, we do not need to develop plot sites immediately to
replace those which we deliver.
We had in
our inventory at December 31, 2010 3,448 cemetery plots, as compared to 4,540 at
March 31, 2010 respectively. At June 30, 2010 we had 6,856 plots, the
high point of our plot sites owned and controlled.
Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual
Obligations
There
were no material changes in our contractual obligations in the three months
ended December 31, 2010 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
(“Form 10-K”) for the year ended March 31, 2010. Please see Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and
Capital Resources in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 15, 2010
for a description of contractual obligations as of March 31,
2010.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to
guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into
any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as
shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial
statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in
assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity
or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in
any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or
credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development
services with us.

Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not
use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and has no
foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash
equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term
obligations. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with
a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
Interest Rates. Our exposure
to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term
investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates
would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. At
December 31, 2010, we had approximately $8,714,926 in cash and cash equivalents.
A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a
material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows
of these instruments.
Foreign Exchange Rates. A
substantial portion of our sales is denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). As a result, changes in the
relative values of U.S. Dollars (“USD”) and RMB affect our reported
levels of revenues and profitability as the results are translated into USD for
reporting purposes. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could
have a significant impact on our financial stability due to a mismatch among
various foreign currency-denominated sales and costs. Fluctuations in exchange
rates, particularly among the USD, and RMB, affect our gross and net profit
margins and could result in foreign exchange and operating losses.
Our
exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or losses
resulting from all of our revenue and cost of goods sold being conducted in RMB
and converting it to USD. We translate monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of our
operating business. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated at
average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are
translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China
at the end of the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process
are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in our statement of
shareholders’ equity. We recorded foreign currency gain of $1,485,815 for the
nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to foreign currency gain of $50,682
for the same period in 2009. We have not used any forward contracts, currency
options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our results
of operations and may incur net foreign currency losses in the future. As our
sales denominated in foreign currencies, such as RMB, continue to grow, we will
consider using arrangements to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange
risk.
Our
financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollar but the functional currency of
our operating subsidiary is RMB. The value of your investment in our stock will
be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollar and RMB. To the
extent we hold assets denominated in USD, including the net proceeds to us from
this offering, any appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar could result
in a change to our statement of operations and a reduction in the value of our
U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other hand, a decline in the value of RMB
against the U.S. dollar could reduce the USD equivalent amounts of our financial
results, the value of your investment in our company and the dividends we may
pay in the future, if any, all of which may have a material adverse effect on
the price of our stock.
Country Risk. The substantial
portion of our assets and operations are located and conducted in China. While
the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years,
growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the
economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage
economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures
benefit the overall economy of China, but may also have a negative effect on us.
For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely
affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax
regulations applicable to us. If there are any changes in any policies by the
Chinese government and our business is negatively affected as a result, then our
financial results, including our ability to generate revenues and profits, will
also be negatively affected.
Interest Rate Risk. We may
face some risk from potential fluctuations in interest rates, although our debt
obligations are primarily short-term in nature, but some bank loans have
different rates. If interest rates have great fluctuations, our financing cost
may be significantly affected.

4. Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial (and principal accounting)
Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2010, the
end of the fiscal period covered by this Form 10-Q. We maintain
disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to be effective in
providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our
reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation and
the identification of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010 (described in our 2010 Form
10-K) which has not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this
Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective
as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on
the evaluation of our management as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or
15d-15 of the Exchange Act, there were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
