SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


·

Basis of presentation


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.


·

Use of estimates


In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


·

Basis of consolidation


The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SNAS and its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.


·

Variable interest entity


To comply with the PRC laws and regulations, the Company currently conducts substantially all of its businesses through CCG, which is considered as a VIE.


Zhong Heng Jiang Investment Consulting (Shenzhen) Company Limited (“ZHJ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a series of contractual arrangements with CCG. Through the contractual arrangements, described below, the Company has variable interest of CCG and consequently is the primary beneficiary of CCG. Agreements that provide ZHJ effective control over CCG are as follows:


1.

Operating Agreement

SINO ASSURANCE INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))

(Unaudited)





 

CCG and the registered legal owner of CCG mutually agree to grant CCG with the principal operating decision making rights, such as appointment of directors and senior executive officers of the VIE. Also, ZHJ is a guarantor to CCG in connection with the operational performance of all contracts entered between CCG and third parties.

 

 

2.

Exclusive Management Service and Business Consulting Agreement

 

ZHJ is an exclusive provider of the business consulting, related services and financial support to CCG for a period of 20 years, in return for a service fee which is equal to all of CCG’s annual net profit. The service fees are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

3.

Option Agreement

 

ZHJ has the irrecoverable right to purchase the equity interests of CCG from the registered legal equity owners of CCG, to the extent permitted under PRC laws and regulations at the request of the Company.

 

 

4.

Proxy Statement

 

All of the registered legal equity owners of CCG irrecoverably grant and entrust with their voting rights and vote on their behalf on all matters they are entitled to vote on, under the laws of the PRC and the Articles of Association of CCG.

 

 

5.

Equity Pledge Agreement

 

All of the registered legal equity owners of CCG have pledged their respective equity interests in CCG as a security the obligations of the registered legal equity owners and CCG under the agreements and for the payment by CCS under the exclusive management service and business consulting agreement.


Management believes that all these contractual agreements with CCG are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable.


The Company has adopted ASC Topic 810-10-5-8, “Variable Interest Entities”. ASC Topic 810-10-5-8 requires a variable interest entity or VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. With the above agreements, the Company, through ZHJ demonstrates its ability to control CCG as the primary beneficiaries and the operating results of the VIE was included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value using an undiscounted cash flow analysis. There has been no impairment charge during the periods presented.

·

Customer collateral


The Company maintains and safeguards cash deposits from certain customers in order to ensure the satisfaction of their performance obligations arising from the surety or tendering guarantees. The cash collateral assets are restricted under the caption of “Restricted cash” and are presented on the balance sheet.


·

Deferred revenue


Guarantee fee received in advance from rendering of service are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized into revenue ratably over the related contract period.


·

Revenue recognition


In accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.


(a)

Guarantee revenue


The Company provides guarantees service to corporations and individuals in issuing and obtaining surety or tendering guarantees for their business operations and/or personal use. In exchange for the Company’s guarantee services, the borrower pays the Company a certain percentage of the surety amount as an upfront guarantee fee. Maturities of surety and tendering guarantees will generally range from 2 days to 2 years, and are secured by bank deposits made by the Company. If a customer fails to fulfill its obligations to a lender, the bank will take possession of the Company’s deposit.


The Company follows ASC Topic 605-20-25-8, “Fees for Guaranteeing a Loan” and recognizes the guarantee fee income over the term of the contract on a straight line basis, net of business taxes, the price to the client is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.


At the balance sheet date, any fees received in advance under the guarantee contracts are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized as revenue over the term of the guarantee period on a straight-line basis.


Concurrently, the Company recognizes the bank charges associated with the guarantee as cost of revenue when incurred.


(b)

Interest income


Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.


·

Provision for guarantee losses


In connection with the nature of its guarantee business, the Company is exposed to the potential losses from

the shortfall of the guaranteed amount over its customer collateral, if the customers fail to the completion of their performance obligation in a timely manner under the surety guarantees. Therefore, the Company regularly reviews actual claims from guarantee loss to determine if any necessary adjustments may be recognized to the reserve in the period in which those differences arise or are identified. The Company follows ASC Topic 450-20-25, “Loss Contingencies” and assesses the estimated losses from a loss contingency among the outstanding guarantee contracts at the balance sheet date. Provision for guarantee losses reflects the Company’s best projection of defaults and the Company believes that it is more likely as a result of loss events that have occurred through the balance sheet date.


For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has recognized $147,886 and $320,074 on the provision for guarantee losses for any potential claims, respectively.


·

Income taxes


Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and discloses in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.


For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of June 30, 2012, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.


The Company conducts major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.


·

Comprehensive income


ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·

Net income per share


The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including common stock equivalents, such as stock options, stock warrants and convertible preferred stock, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive.


·

Foreign currencies translation


Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.


The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars ("US$") and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary and VIE in the PRC maintains its books and records in its local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted.


In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiary and VIE whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign entities are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of stockholders’ equity.


Translation of amounts from RMB into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective years:

 

 

June 30, 2012

 

June 30, 2011

Period-end RMB : US$1 exchange rate

Related parties


Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.


·

Segment reporting


ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating

segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company operates in one reportable operating segment in the PRC.


·

Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding loans receivable): cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, guarantee fee receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, customer collateral, deferred revenue, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.


Management believes, based on the discounted cash flows using current interest rates, the fair value of loans receivable approximates the carrying value at June 30, 2012.


The Company also follows the guidance of ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820-10"), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


·

Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;


·

Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and; and


·

Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.


Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.


·

Recent accounting pronouncements


The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.


In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-05,“Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income”(“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements of net income

and other comprehensive income. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively. The adoption has not had a material effect on the Companys financial statements.



NOTE4

RESTRICTED CASH


Restricted cash represents (i) fund received from customers for the purpose of trust deposits held at the banks by the Company to pledge against the surety and tendering guarantee under the contractual guarantee period and (ii) escrow deposits as security to the bank for the provision of banking surety guarantee service. Such restricted cash under item (i) is an asset of the Company and is recorded as customer collateral payable to the customers upon the expiry of the guarantee contracts.


As of June 30, 2012, the Company had surety and tendering guarantees outstanding resulting in restricted cash with approximately $21,334,579 from customer collateral and $3,164,707 for escrow deposits at the bank.

British Virgin Island


Under the current BVI law, LTL is not subject to tax on income.


Hong Kong


CML is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax, which is charged at the statutory income rate of 16.5% on its assessable income. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, CML does not have operations in Hong Kong.

Major vendors


For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no single vendor who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases.


(c)

Credit risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash, restricted cash and guarantee fee receivable. Substantially all of cash and restricted cash are held by the recognized financial institutions in the PRC. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, but does not require collateral to support such receivables.


(d)

Political and country risk


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.


(e)

Guarantee default risk


The Company has a significant concentration risk related to its guarantees on potential loss if the customers fail to the completion of their performance obligation in a timely manner under the surety guarantees. To reduce these potential losses, the Company holds collateral in the form of cash equivalents, which are reflected in customer collateral on the balance sheets as they are held in restricted cash in the Company’s name.


(f)

Exchange rate risk

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

The Company is committed under various non-cancelable operating leases with fixed monthly rentals, due through September 2015. Total rent expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $290,730 and $236,490, respectively.

(b)

Guarantees


As of June 30, 2012, the Company has 873 surety and tendering guarantees outstanding. If the Company’s customers fail to complete their performance obligation in a timely manner so that the Company is obligated to pay on its guarantees, the Company would have the maximum potential amount of future payments of approximately $392,458,707 (RMB2,480,221,289) in total.


Provision for guarantee losses reflects the Company’s best projection of defaults and the Company believes that it is more likely as a result of loss events that have occurred through June 30, 2012. However, the uncertainty in macroeconomic factors and the uncertainty of the effect of any current or future government actions to the global economic crisis make forecasting of default rates increasingly imprecise. The Company regularly reviews actual guarantee loss claims experience to determine if any necessary adjustments may be recognized to the reserve in the period in which those differences arise or are identified. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company experienced no claims for actual guarantee loss. At June 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $1,700,785 on the provision for guarantee losses for any potential claims.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



27






As of June 30, 2012, our unaudited balance sheet reflects total current assets of $37,339,633 and total current liabilities $27,288,968. These items increased by $2,316,559 (or 7%) and $2,241,494 (or 9%) respectively as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase of total current assets was mainly due to an increase of restricted cash and loan receivable, partially offset by decrease in marketable securities, cash and cash equivalents. The increase in total current liabilities was mainly due to increase in customer collateral and deferred revenue, partially offset by decrease in account payable, accrued liabilities and other payable, income tax payable and deferred tax liabilities.


As of June 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents was $92,768, as compared to December 31, 2011 balance of 1,544,199. The decrease was mainly due to the cash used in operating activities and investing activities.


For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in operating activities totaled $1,381,337. This was primarily due to the increase in prepayments and other receivable, decrease in account payable, accrued liabilities and other payable, partially offset by the increase in deferred revenue.


For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in investing activities amounted to $76,722. The use of funds was mainly due to the payment on loan receivable and purchase of plant and equipment, partially offset by receipts from loans receivable, proceeds from sale of marketable securities and proceeds from disposal of plant and equipment.


As of June 30, 2012, we owed $64,461 to Mr. Guokang Tu, a director. The loan was unsecured, interest-free, and has no fixed repayment terms.


As of June 30, 2012, the Company had surety and tendering guarantees outstanding resulting in restricted cash of approximately $21,334,579 from customer collateral and $3,164,707 for escrow deposits at the bank. Restricted cash represents (i) funds received from customers for the purpose of trust deposits held at the banks by the Company to pledge against the surety and tendering guarantee under the contractual guarantee period and (ii) escrow deposits as security to the bank for the provision of banking surety guarantee service. Such restricted cash under item (i) is an asset of the Company and is recorded as customer collateral payable to the customers upon the expiry of the guarantee contracts.


As of June 30, 2012, the loans receivable consist of the followings:


Due from Party A

$

8,616,001

 

 


Due from Party B

 

3,419,581

 

$

12,035,582


The Company entered into loan agreements to provide financing to Party A and Party B as general working capital and both of these Parties are independent third parties of the Company.


The loan to Party A is unsecured, interest bearing at 2.52% per annum and payable on September 29, 2012, December 30, 2012, March 30, 2013 and June 29, 2013 in the terms of 12 months.


The loan to Party B is unsecured, interest bearing at 2.52% per annum and payable on December 30, 2012 and June 29, 2013 in the terms of 12 months.


The demand for loans to small and medium size enterprises in China is expected to remain high and the Company is exploring new business to provide full spectrum of financial services to customers. We believe that this will greatly enhance the level of services that we provide to our customers and further expand our market share in the financing services business.




28





We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our marketing and sales activities, the expansion of our operating capacity, and the continuing market acceptance of our services.


As of June 30, 2012, we had total future lease commitments under non-cancelable operating leases of $1,023,993. We currently have working capital sufficient to fund these lease commitments.


As of June 30, 2012, we had contingent liabilities in respect of guarantees granted under the surety and tendering guarantee services business in the aggregate amount of $392,458,707. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has 873 surety and tendering guarantees outstanding. If the Company’s customers fail to complete their performance obligation in a timely manner so that the Company is obligated to pay on its guarantees, the Company would have the maximum potential amount of future payments of approximately $392,458,707 (RMB2,480,221,289) in total.  We have significant concentration of risk related to our guarantees of potential loss if our customers fail to complete their performance obligations under the surety guarantees in a timely manner.  To reduce these potential losses, we hold collateral in the form of cash equivalents, which are reflected in customer collateral on the balance sheets as they are held in restricted cash in our name.


Provision for guarantee losses reflects the Company’s best projection of defaults and the Company believes that it is more likely as a result of loss events that have occurred through June 30, 2012. However, the uncertainty in macroeconomic factors and the uncertainty of the effect of any current or future government actions to the global economic crisis make forecasting of default rates increasingly imprecise. The Company regularly reviews actual guarantee loss claims experience to determine if any necessary adjustments may be recognized to the reserve in the period in which those differences arise or are identified. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company experienced no actual guarantee loss claims. At June 30, 2012, the Company has accrued $1,700,785 on the provision for guarantee losses for any potential claims.
