ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Introduction

China Electronics Holdings, Inc (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”), formerly named Buyonate, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 2007 to engage in developing user-friendly/child friendly interactive digital software for children between the ages of 5 to 12 years old. The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2008. The year 2009 was the first year the Company was considered an operating company, no longer in the development stage.

China Electronic Holdings, Inc. (“CEH Delaware”) was organized on November 15, 2007, as a Delaware corporation. Prior to February 10, 2010, CEHD Delaware was a development stage company attempting to manufacture and sell carbon and graphite electrodes and planning to manufacture and sell electronic products in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) through its own stores and franchise stores.

Lu’an Guoying Electronic Sales Co., Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Guoying”), was established on January 4, 2002 with share capital of RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $137,100). Guoying sells electronic products in the PRC through its company-owned stores and to exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores.

In August 2012, Guoying contributed $945,054 to the capital of Lu An Guoying Opto-Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. (“Opto-Electronics”) which is 99% owned by Guoying. Mr. Hailong Liu, the CEO and Chairman of the Company, contributed $9,546to the capital of Opto-Electronics and owns the remaining 1% of the company.
 
Pursuant to Share Transfer Agreements entered into in 2008 and 2009 among the shareholders of Guoying (the “Guoying Shareholders”) and CEH Delaware, the Guoying Shareholders sold 100% of the shares of Guoying Electronic Group Co, Ltd. to CEH Delaware in exchange for an aggregate of  1,000,000RMB (the “Purchase Price”) and constituting 96.6% of issued and outstanding shares of CEH Delaware. As a result of the 2008 and 2009 Share Transfers, Guoying became a wholly foreign-owned subsidiary (“WFOE”) of CEH Delaware.

Prior to the consummation of the Share Transfer Agreements, in January 2010, CEH Delaware issued an aggregate of 13,213,268 shares of its common stock in the name of Ms. Sherry Li subject to Call Options in favor of the Guoying Shareholders whereby each of the Guoying shareholders could acquire from Ms. Li for nominal consideration, a number of shares of CEH Delaware equal to the number of shares he or she owned in Guoying. Thus, upon consummation of the Share Transfer Agreements each of the former shareholders of Guoying had the right to acquire from Ms. Li, who was effectively their nominee, an equivalent number of shares of CEH Delaware.  This structure was utilized by the shareholders of Guoying because they believed that by using this structure they would not have to obtain the prior consent of the China Securities Regulatory Commission to the transaction whereby Guoying became owned by a foreign entity.On July 9, 2010 we consummated the Share Exchange Agreement with certain Selling Stockholders. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the former stockholders of CEH Delaware transferred to us 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of CEH Delaware and 100% of the warrants to purchase common stock of CEH Delaware held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 13,785,902 newly issued shares of our Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,570 shares of our Common Stock.  Thus, CEH Delaware’s outstanding 314,285 Series A warrants were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 314,285 shares of our Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.19 per share.  CEH Delaware’s outstanding 314,285 Series B warrants were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 314,285 shares of our Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.63 per share.  CEH Delaware’s outstanding 1,000,000 $1.00 warrants were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series E warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share.  Subsequent to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement,  Buyonate, Inc.,  through a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary, changed its name to China Electronics Holdings, Inc. The merger and name change were approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Common Stock began trading under the symbol “CEHD.OB” on August 23, 2010.

During the period from July 15, 2010 to August 17, 2010 we consummated a series of Private Placements of our Common Stock and warrants to purchase our Common Stock pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated as of July 9, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement we sold to 105 investors for an aggregate gross purchase price of $5,251,548 an aggregate of (a) 1,989,211 shares of our Common Stock, (b) three year Series C Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 497,303 shares of our Common Stock for $3.70 per share and (c) three year Series D Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 497,303 shares of our Common Stock for $4.75 per share.

Our Corporate Structure

The chart below sets forth our corporate structure:
 
Our principal executive offices are located at Building G-08, Guangcai Market, Foziling West Road, Lu’an City, Anhui Province, PRC 237001, and our telephone number is 011-86-564-3224888.

Overview of Business

Through our subsidiary, Guoying, we are engaged in the wholesale and retail sale of consumer electronics and appliances in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), such as solar heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, and similar items. We sell such products in certain rural markets in Anhui province.

We started selling consumer electronics and appliances in China in 2002. For the 2012 year, approximately 13.8% of our revenue was due to the sale of solar energy products, approximately 12.8% of our revenue was due to the sale of refrigerators, approximately 29.3% of our revenue was due to the sale of televisions and approximately 37.6% of our revenue was due to the sale of air conditioners.
 
We distribute merchandise through company-owned stores and to exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive franchise stores. As of December 31, 2012, and today, we own and operate two stores under the Guoying brand name at which we sell only merchandise that we provide. Exclusive franchise stores are stores that sell merchandise we provide as their exclusive wholesaler pursuant to cooperation franchise agreements.  The merchandise we provide includes Guoying branded products as well as products from major manufacturers such as Sony, Samsung and LG. Non-exclusive franchise stores are stores to which we provide Guoying branded merchandise as a wholesaler or distributor and  which also sell consumer electronics and appliances supplied by others. During 2012, approximately 13.2% of our revenue was from sales by company-owned stores, approximately 59.0% was from sales to exclusive franchise stores and approximately 27.8% of our 2012 revenue was from sales to non-exclusive stores.

As of December 31, 2012, we operated two company-owned stores, both of which are located in Lu’an City, Anhui Province. During 2011, we closed two company-owned stores, Longhe and Guangcai, and opened our new headquarters store in G-8 Guangcai Big Market. As of December 31, 2012, we had 306 exclusive franchise stores operating under the Guoying brand name pursuant to cooperation agreements and 176 stores non-exclusive franchise stores (the “Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores”) to which we provide Guoying branded merchandise. Set forth below are the number of exclusives and non-exclusive franchise stores opened or closed by us in each of the years indicted:

When we use the terms “open” or “opened” in referring to an exclusive or non exclusive franchise store, we mean that we entered into a franchise agreement with such store and that it was in operation.  When we use the terms “close,” “closed” or “terminated” in reference to an exclusive or non-exclusive franchise store we mean that we terminated our agreement with such store.

In August, 2011, our Board decided to terminate our exclusive and non-exclusive franchise agreements with a number of stores in order to strengthen and grow the Company’s business after concluding that the rapid growth of the number of stores and aggressive business expansion had caused deficiencies in the company’s internal controls and management.  The following criteria was used to determine which stores (“Disqualified Exclusive Stores” and “Disqualified Non-Exclusive Stores”) to close (i) exclusive franchise stores that sold merchandise supplied by other wholesalers in breach of the exclusive franchise agreement; (ii) exclusive and non-exclusive franchise stores that failed to obey the Company’s pricing and resulting in lower profit margins; and (iii) stores located remotely Lu An City that result in higher transportation and  logistics expenses to us We do not expect to terminate our franchise contracts with a significant number of non-exclusive stores in the immediate future.

We currently targets customers in counties, townships and villages (the third, fourth and fifth tiers of the market) in Anhui Province, China. Our distribution and sales network currently covers twelve districts and counties in Anhui province, namely Shou County, Shu City, Jin An, Yu An, Huo Shan, Jinn Sai, Huo Qiu, Gu Shi , Ye Ji, Fei West, Fei East, and Huai Nan Districts.

We purchase consumer electronics and appliances from well-known manufacturers or large distributors and sell them through company-owned stores and to the exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores. Guoying is a wholesaler in the Lu’an area for products under the brand names, Sony, LG, Samsung, Shanghai Shangling, Tsinghua Tongfng, Chigo, Huayang, Huangming and Oulin. Guoying is a general sales agency for electronic products of Sino-Japan Sanyo, such as Sanyo televisions, air conditioners, washing machines and micro-wave ovens. Guoying has teamed up with Huangming and Huayang, the two largest manufacturers of solar thermal products in China, to be their large retail outlet in Lu’an. Their energy efficient, “green” products include solar thermal water heaters, solar panels (photovoltaic) and energy saving glass.

In addition to providing wholesale merchandise purchased from manufacturers or distributors, we provided refrigerators manufactured by an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), Shanghai Pengbai Electronic Co., Ltd. (“Pengbai”), under the Company’s trademark “Guoying”. Guoying refrigerators have “3C” quality national authentication certificates, which are mandatory in PRC for the sale of refrigerators. We entered into an OEM agreement with Pengbai in August 2007, pursuant to which Pengbai agreed to manufacture our private label brand refrigerators and Guoying agreed to provide loan to Pengbai in amount of RMB 80 million (approximately $12.12 million) in four installments of RMB 20 million from 2006 to 2010. Pengbai agreed to repay the loan by October 2017, with payments in four equal installments of RMB 20 million (approximately $2.9 million) beginning in October 2013. The loan is secured by all the assets of Pengbai and is interest free. Guoying actually loaned Pengbai RMB63 million (approximately $9.8million) as of December 2009 and RMB42.6 million (approximately $6.63 million) has been received from Pengbai as of December 2011. We terminated our OEM agreement with Pengbai and stopped manufacturing “Guoying” brand refrigerators in 2011.

We purchased 164,983 square meters (approximately 300 Chinese acres) of land in Pingqiao Industrial Park, in Lu An City, on which we originally planned to build an LED manufacturing facility.   Also as part of our plan to become an LED manufacturer, we have reserved the company name “Lu An Guoying Opto-Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.” with the Lu An Administration of Industry and Commerce on September 5, 2011 and filed a proposal to seek approval to enter into the LED manufacturing business with the Reform and Development Commission of Yu An District, Lu An City, on May 13, 2011 and a planning permit for the project and land construction was issued to us by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Yu An District, Lu An City on October 28, 2011.   Due to a change in our plans we are currently not going ahead with our plans to manufacturer LEDs and, instead, are building logistics centers on a portion of the land. We intend to use these facilities to provide logistics and transportation services to deliver merchandise and Guoying branded products to counties, townships and villages in Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. We have started construction of four warehouses in Pingqiao Industrial Park since October 2011. Each logistics center is 4,800 square meters, 19,200 square meters iin the aggregate.  We currently do not have sufficient working capital to continue building the warehouses and are seeking business partners and financing to continue the project.

We will continue to focus on becoming a significant retailer and wholesaler of consumer electronics and appliances to rural markets in China with a goal of having a national distribution network throughout China. Our working capital will continue to be used to develop wholesale and retail business and we are seeking business partners and financing to enter into the LED manufacturing and wholesale business.

We entered into a lease agreement with Yumin Village Committee in January 2011 to rent 387 Chinese acres of land and 116 Chinese acres of slope land located in Yumin Village, Sun Gang County, Jin An District for 20 years, and 5,006 Chinese acres land located in Yumin Village, Sun Gang County, Jin An District, for 30 years, to grow agricultural and forestry products, mainly oil-tea camellia plants. We have purchased saplings and young plants and employed local farmers to grow the plants. It generally takes seven to eight years to grow oil-tea camellia plants
 
 On January 1, 2011, the Company leased a land use right of 503 Chinese acres of land with a two years term of year 2010 and 2011 for the company’s agricultural and forestry business with a cost of approximately $189,000. On December 9, 2012, the Company sold the plants on the leased land to Lu’an Senyuan Ecological Park Ltd. (“Senyuan”), a company controlled and owned by the father and ex-wife of the CEO of Guoying, for approximately $32,100, due by October 2013 and transferred the future land use right to Senyuan . The Company has fully reserved bad debt expenses for the related party receivable due to the uncertainty of the collection.

On August 31, 2011, the Company leased 5,006 Chinese acres of land located in Yumin Village, Sun Gang County, Jin An District with a thirty years term from January 2011 to December 31, 2040 with a cost of approximately $961,000 per year, as Guoying agricultural and forestry land to grow oil-tea camellia plants. On December 9, 2012, the Company transferred the lease right and the plants on the leased land to Senyuan for approximately $1,123,500, due by October 2013. According to the sale contract, Guoying will make the 2012 land use right payment just of sales price to be received from Senyuan. The Company has fully reserved bad debt expenses for the related party receivable due to the uncertainty of the collection.

Exclusive Franchise Stores

As of December 31, 2012, there were 306 exclusive franchise stores operating under the Guoying brand name pursuant to cooperation agreements with us. The exclusive franchise stores are owned by third parties and operate under our brand name pursuant to cooperation agreements with the Company. Such stores sell both Guoying branded products and other products that we provide as the exclusive wholesaler. Guoying is the only wholesaler providing products to our exclusive franchise stores. The exclusive franchise stores are located in rural areas around Lu’an City, Anhui Province, and the primary customers of these stores are residents of the local towns and villages. The store owners own or lease the operating space for the exclusive franchise stores. Guoying makes deliveries to each store and upon delivery, the stores pay in cash the wholesale price of the products provided. After receiving orders from such stores we are generally able to deliver the merchandise within two to three hours to stores located in or near Lu’an City or within three days to stores that are further away. Due to the PRC “Rural consumer electronics and appliances” plan, which is available to some of our stores, Guoying is able to offer the exclusive franchise stores certain discounts based on the quantity of their purchases.

We have signed cooperation agreements with each exclusive franchise store with a term ranging from 1 year to 3 years, subject to renewals.  The average remaining term under most of the cooperation agreements is less than 1 year, as most of the agreements were renewed in November 2010. Pursuant to the cooperation agreements, we provide loans to store owners to facilitate the establishment of the exclusive franchise stores. The loans are interest free, unsecured loans, and are payable in a single installment no later than three years from the date of the loan. Each loan is made in the form of cash and products, generally in an amount of up to 40% of the cost of establishing the store. The average amount of each loan is approximately RMB 58,286 (approximately $8,967). However, the specific amount of each loan varies depending on factors including location of the store and the economy of the area, the consumption capacity of the store and the size of the store.  The average value of products provided to store owners in connection with the loans ranges from RMB 201,744 to RMB 341,548 (approximately $20,000 to $50,000) and varies based on the factors discussed above and the total amount of the loan.  As of December 31, 2012, the total outstanding amount of such loans was approximately RMB15,676,420 . It is n consideration of these loans that the owners of exclusive franchise stores agree to exclusively purchase products from Guoying.  

Set forth below is the number of exclusive franchise stores opened or closed in every quarter from 2009 to the through 2012 and the number of exclusive franchise stores in operation as of the end of each of every quarter and year:

Non-exclusive stores

As of December 31, 2012, we provided merchandise to 176 non-exclusive stores as a wholesaler. Such stores are owned and operated by third parties and are located in the rural areas around Lu’an City, Anhui province. These stores sell both Guoying branded merchandise and merchandise distributed by other companies. Our merchandise is sold to the stores by the Company pursuant to franchise agreements and sales agreements between the operators of the stares and the Company. The non-exclusive stores pay the Company cash upon the Company’s delivery of products, or Guoying extends unsecured credit to such stores in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.  Under the franchise agreements, each non-exclusive store was obligated to pay Guoying an annual fee of RMB 5,000 (approximately $735). We have not collected annual fees since 2009.
 
Set forth below is the number of non-exclusive franchise stores opened or closed in every quarter from 2009 to the through 2012 and the number of non-exclusive franchise stores to which we distributed products as of the end of each of every quarter and year:

Our Leases

Warehouse Leases

We currently distribute products to company-owned stores, exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores from two warehouses located within Lu’an city, which are leased by Guoying.  We engage third parties to transport the products from our warehouses to the stores.  We entered into a lease agreement with Youbang Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. on April 1, 2010 to lease the warehouse located in the development zone of east road of Jing Er, Foziling Road for one year and renewed the lease for another two years valid from April 1, 2011 to April 1, 2013. The rent for the lease is RMB138,000 per year. We entered into a lease agreement with Mr. Haibo Liu on January 1, 2008 for the Wangpai warehouse of 808 square meters located in Liu Fo Road to store Huangming solar products. The term of the lease was from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2012 and the rent is RMB 6, 464 per year (RMB 8 per square meters). We started the construction of four warehouses, 4,800 square meters each, on land in Pingqiao Industrial Park in October 2011. We currently do not have sufficient working capital to continue the Pingqiao construction and are seeking business partners and financing to continue the project.

Company-Owned Stores Leases

We currently lease both of our two company-owned stores. We entered into a lease agreement for our Guangcai Big Market Store on October 30, 2008 for 3 years at a rent of RMB20, 882 per year and renewed the lease on April 1, 2011 for another 3 years until March 31, 2014 at a rent of RMB 720,000 per year.  We entered into a lease agreement with Mr. Haibo Liu in 2010 for our Hao Men store for one year and renewed the lease on March 15, 2011 for another 3 years until March 15, 2014 at a rent of RMB 68,000 per year.

For additional information concerning the location, area and terms of each of the Company’s self-owned stores and warehouse see “Item 2. Property” herein.
 
Land Use Right

Pingqiao Industrial Park Land
 
We entered into a Land Use Right Purchase Agreement on October 28, 2010 and a supplemental Deposit Agreement on December 28, 2010 with the management committee of Pingqiao Industrial Park (the “Pingqiao Committee”), under which the Pingqiao Committee granted us a land use right for 164,983 square meters (approximately 300 Chinese acres).  120 Chinese acres of this land is for commercial use and 180 Chinese acres of this land is for industrial use. We paid RMB 100 million (approximately $15.74 million) of the purchase price as of December 31, 2010. 
 
We are not obligated to pay the remaining $3.7 million until we receive the land use right certificate to be issued by relevant PRC government pursuant to the Land Use Right Purchase Agreement.  The Company received a land use right certificate issued by Pingqiao Industrial Park on April 16, 2012 with a term of 50 years until 2062 for a 38,449 square meter portion of the land which has been collaterized for a loan of RMB 10 million to a bank, including the 19,200 square meters where the four warehouses are built. The Company believes that if the land use right certificate for the balance of the land is not granted to the Company by the appropriate authority, the Company will get a refund of the down payment  from the Pingqiao Committee in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 8 of Investment Agreement between Ping Bridge Industrial Park and Lu’an Guoying Electronics Sales Co.

Youbang Warehouse Land

We entered into a Land Use Right Purchase Agreement in 2010 with Youbang Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., under which Youbang Pharmaceuticals granted us a land use right for 200 Chinese acres for commercial use where Guoying department building and logistics center will be built. We paid RMB40 million (approximately $6,296,000) of the purchase price as of December 2010 and Youbang is obligated to deliver the land use right certificate and real estate property certificate by December 31, 2011 or no later than December 31, 2012.  It was agreed in 2011  that the land use right certificate for this parcel of land could not be transferred due to change of local zoning regulations, the agreement was canceled and RMB10 million (approximately $1,574,000) was returned to the Company by September 2011. The remaining RMB30 million (approximately $4,722,000) was be returned to the Company in December 2012.

Guoying Agricultural and Forestry Land
 
We entered into a lease agreement with Yumin Village Committee in January 2011 to rent 387 Chinese acres of land at RMB 1,200 per Chinese acre and 116 Chinese acres of slope land at RMB 1,600 per Chinese acre. The 387 acrs and 116 acres are located in Yumin Village, Sun Gang County, Jin An District.  We intend to grow mainly oil-tea camellia plants on the property. The term of the lease is 20 years. We have advanced approximately $189, 000 for leasing the land as of January 2011. We have purchased saplings and young plants and employed local farmers to grow the plants. It generally takes seven to eight years to grow oil-tea camellia plants and we do not expect a return on our investment for 7-8 years. On December 9, 2012, the Company sold the plants on the leased land to Lu’an Senyuan Ecological Park Ltd. (“Senyuan”), a company controlled and owned by the father and ex-wife of the CEO of Guoying, for approximately $32,100, due by October 2013 and transferred the future land use right to Senyuan . The Company has fully reserved bad debt expenses for the related party receivable due to the uncertainty of the collection.

We entered into another lease agreement with Yumin Village Committee in August 2011 to rent 5,006 Chinese acres land located in Yumin Villageon which we also intend to grow oil-tea camellia plants. The term of the lease is 30 years and the rent is RMB 1,200 per Chinese acre. We have advanced approximately $961,000 as of December 2011. On December 9, 2012, the Company transferred the lease right and the plants on the leased land to Senyuan for approximately $1,123,500, due by October 2013. According to the contract, Guoying will make the 2012 land use right payment out of sales price to be received from Senyuan. The Company has fully reserved bad debt expenses for the related party receivable due to the uncertainty of the collection.

For additional information concerning the location, area and terms of our lease agreements for agricultural and forestry land, see “Description of Property” below.
 
Our Private Label Brands

We entered into an OEM agreement with Pengbai in August 2007, pursuant to which Pengbai agreed to manufacture refrigerators to be sold under our brand.

Pursuant to the OEM agreement, Guoying agreed to provide loans to Pengbai in amount of RMB 80 million (approximately $12.12 million) in four installments of RMB 20 million each from 2006 to 2010. Pengbai agreed to repay the loan by October 2017, with payments in four equal installments of RMB 20 million (approximately $2.9 million) beginning in October 2013. The loan is secured by all the assets of Pengbai and is interest free. Guoying actually loaned Pengbai RMB63 million (approximately $9.8 million) as of December 2009 and a payment of RMB42.6 million (approximately $6.63 million) has been received from Pengbai as of December 2011. In 2011 the agreement was terminated and Pengbai stopped manufacturing “Guoying” brand refrigerators in 2011.

Industry Background

According to the 2010 PRC Census, more than 50% of China’s population resides in rural areas of China and they comprise the largest consumer group in China. After many years of economic reforms, the average income of people living in China’s rural areas has gradually increased, and according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the per capita net income of rural residents increased 10.9% in 2010. We believe that this segment of the population has significant growth potential and that they are not served by many of the urban chains of electronics distributors which have not expanded into the rural communities.

We believe that there are several reasons why the distribution of consumer electronics and appliances in rural markets can be profitable.

China Economic News reported on December 9, 2010, the central government had increased the disposable income of the rural population by reducing the tax rate paid by farmers. We believe that this tax relief combined with continuing improvements in the power network, transportation, and communications in rural areas makes the rural market more accessibleto home appliances and electronics.
 
The Chinese government has initiated a rural home appliance and electronics rebate program, called the “Rural Consumer Electronics” plan. The plan provides that the maximum sales price of electronics in rural areas is fixed at a price which is usually equal to the market price of the same products in urban areas, and allows rural consumers to receive a 13% rebate from the government on their purchases of electronics.
 
 
11

 
 
In addition, the current consumer electronics and appliances markets in big PRC cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen are already saturated by electronics stores, which results in limited margins. While we have some competitors in the rural markets, we believe that the retail chains that exist in larger cities have not established any significant name recognition in the rural markets.  Therefore, we believe that such stores’ success in larger cities will not necessarily result in success in the rural areas where we operate.  
 
Our Growth Strategies

The following are some of the steps we currently intend to take in an effort to grow our business:

o
Partnering with well-known electric appliance manufacturers. We will negotiate with well-known brands in order to act as a wholesaler of these brands. We currently sell Samsung washing machines and Sony LCD televisions. We are negotiating with other companies with well-known brands to sell their consumer electronics and appliances in rural markets.
 
o
Exclusive Franchise Stores and Non-Exclusive Stores. Close disqualified Exclusive and Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores in Anhui province; open new Exclusive and Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores in Anhui, Hunan and Hubei provinces; maintain and grow our business with existing profitable Exclusive Franchise Stores;
 
o
Company-Owned Stores. We closed two of our company-owned stores, Longhe and Guangcai, in 2010 and opened our new headquarters store in the center business district of Lu’an City in 2011.  This store focuses on the sale of solar thermal products, refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions and other products.
 
o
Establishing Logistic Center Construct warehouses and establish logistic centers in Lu An City to provide transportation and delivery services for our merchandise sold in Anhui, Hubei and Henan provinces;
 
o
LED Wholesale and Manufacturing Business Currently seeking business partner and financing to develop LED wholesale and manufacturing business
 
To date we have funded our growth primarily from our working capital and below is a summary of approximately how much we have spent in the years 2011and 2012  to achieve our growth strategies:

We receive all of our merchandise from our suppliers, which are often the manufacturers, through deliveries to our two warehouses located within Lu’an city.

Marketing, Sales, and Distribution

We have a staff of 27 employees who take orders and provide customer service to each exclusive franchise store and non-exclusive store in assigned geographical areas. We advertise in many ways, including using television advertisements, advertisements on buses and walls, fliers distributed on the streets by our promotion personnel and general promotions, including discounts. We base our advertising on our analysis of the market and our competitors. We are responsible for the cost of marketing of our Guoying brand products and promoting our Guoying franchise brand. Under contracts we have with our suppliers, our suppliers are responsible for the costs of all discounts and promotions of sales and distribution of products sold from the suppliers to us.

Customers and Pricing

Our customers pay different prices for our products depending on where they live.
 
In general, most of the products sold in the franchise stores are subject to the national “Rural Consumer Electronics” plan.   The plan provides that the maximum sales price of electronics in rural areas is fixed at a price which is usually equal to the market price of the same products in urban areas.  The plan allows rural consumers to receive a 13% rebate from the government on their purchases of electronics.
   
Some of the products sold by our company-owned stores to the residents in Lu’an city are sold at the market price for urban areas.
 
Most customers pay for their purchases in cash.

In recent years, the pricing of our merchandise has changed as the price charged by our vendors has changed. For example, due to inflation in recent years, the market price of consumer electronics and appliances has risen. Due to the Rural Consumer Electronics Plan, our rural customers are not affected by such inflation as greatly as urban customers.  However, the selling prices of some older models of products have decreased since such models are being discontinued.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, Guoying had 66  full-time employees, including 12 management and supervisory personnel, 23 sales and marketing personnel and 6 after sale support personnel.
 
Seasonality

Approximately 30% of our sales of products are made in the first quarter of the year as the Chinese Spring Festival, the traditional shopping period occurs during the first quarter. The fourth quarter is our second busiest season.

Competition

We believe our main competitor is Hefei Ri Ri Shun Sales Corp(“Ri Ri Shun”) and  Guosheng Electronic (“Guosheng”), which is a state-owned enterprise in Anhui Province. Ri Ri Shun is the second largest retrailer and Guosheng is the third largest retailer of consumer electronics and appliances in Anhui Province and runs several franchise stores in small cities and towns. Guosheng also has stores in Lu’an city.

We compete on the basis of price and the quality of the products we distribute. Both Ri Ri Shun and Guosheng have greater financial resources and brand recognition than us. In order for us to succeed we will need to focus our efforts on the rural markets not targeted byRi Ri Shun and  Guosheng, promote our brand name and operate efficiently. There is no guarantee we will be able to achieve our goals.

Compared to Guosheng, our competitive disadvantages are:

Funding. We need more capital than larger wholesalers in order to expand.  As a state-owned enterprise, it is easier for Guosheng to obtain bank loans.
   
Exclusive Representative Rights. Currently we are smaller than Guosheng and it is easier for Guosheng to be the exclusive representative of certain major brands because it is larger.

Brand Recognition. As a smaller wholesaler, we need to invest more in advertising in order to make our brand as competitive as larger wholesalers such as Guosheng.

Compared to Guosheng, our competitive advantages are:

Rural Market.  We have relationships with hundreds of exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores in rural markets, which are markets that have a high potential volume of sales, but which markets are ignored by the big retail chain stores.
   
Flexibility. We make deliveries quickly and consistently. After receiving an order, we are able to deliver products within 2 hours to stores within or close to Lu’an city. Large state-owned retail stores, such as Guosheng, typically take 2-3 days to deliver products after the receipt of orders.
 
Sales Networking. We have 27 sales persons visiting the exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores each week, which allows us to maintain good relationships with the stores.

Regulation

We are subject to a wide range of regulations covering every aspect of our business. The most significant of these regulations are set forth below.  Management believes it is in material compliance with applicable regulations.
 
Chain Stores Management

In March 1997, the Domestic Trade Ministry issued the Standard Opinions on the Operation and Management of Chain Stores  (the “Opinions”), to regulate and administrate the forms, management models, composition, business area and other requirements of chain stores. The Opinions discuss three forms of chain stores: regular chain, franchise chain and voluntary chain. The Opinions stipulate that franchise chain and voluntary chain stores must execute relevant cooperation contracts with their suppliers and that the contracts must contain certain clauses including but not limited to clauses relate to the use of trademarks, product quality management, centralized purchase and sales promotion policies.

In May 1997, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce issued the Circular of the Relevant Issues for the Administration of Registration of Chain Stores, which provides the conditions for the establishment of chain stores and branches, the procedures and documents for application for registration with the administration of industry and commerce, and the names of chain stores, to regulate registration issues relating to chain stores.

Regulations relating to consumer protection

On October 31, 1993, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress issued the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Consumers, or the Consumer Protection Law, revised in 2009. The State Administration of Industry and Commerce also issued the notice regarding “Handling of Acts of Infringement of Rights of Consumers” or the Notice in March 2004. Under the Consumer Protection Law and the Notice, a business operator providing a commodity or service to a consumer undertakes certain responsibilities relating to products. These liabilities include restoring the consumer’s reputation, eliminating the adverse effects suffered by the consumer, and offering an apology and compensation for any losses incurred. The following penalties may also be imposed upon business operators for the infraction of these obligations: issuance of a warning, confiscation of any illegal income, imposition of a fine, an order to cease business operation, revocation of its business license or imposition of criminal liabilities under circumstances that are specified in laws and statutory regulations.

Regulations on commercial franchising

On May 1, 2007, the State Council issued the Regulations for Administration of Commercial Franchising, to supervise franchising activities. The Regulations for Administration of Commercial Franchising were later supplemented by the Administrative Measures for Archival Filing of Commercial Franchise and the Administrative Measures for Information Disclosure of Commercial Franchise, both of which were issued by the Ministry of Commerce. Under these regulations, Franchisors are required to file franchise contracts with the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts; and franchise contracts shall include certain provisions, such as terms, termination rights and payments. Franchisors are also required to satisfy certain requirements including, without limitation, having mature business models and the capacity to provide operation guidance, technical support and training to franchisees. Franchisors engaged in franchising activities without satisfying the above requirements may be subject to administrative penalties.

Regulations on trademarks

The State Council issued the PRC Trademark Law in 1982, revised in 2001, and the Implementation Regulation of the PRC Trademark Law in 2002, to protect the owners of registered trademarks and trade names. The Trademark Office handles trademark registrations and grants a term of ten years to registered trademarks. Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office or its regional counterpart.

Home appliance sales on the rural market

On April 16, 2009, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry Of Finance, the Industry and Information Technology, National Development and Reform Committee, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, State Administration of Industry and Commerce and State Administration of Quality Supervision promulgated the  Implementation Rules of Home Appliance Sales on the Rural Market,  or the   Implementation Rules   to stimulate domestic demand and promote economic development. According to the Implementation Rules, the local government authority would make its decision concerning the qualification of home appliance selling enterprises based on the process of public bidding and tendering. Such enterprises shall satisfy certain requirements, including having measures on dispatching, price management, after-sale service and sales channels. Such enterprises are also required to file with the local commerce bureau for sale of home appliances and shall provide good service. The qualification of sales enterprises to sell home appliances in rural areas may be cancelled in the event of any serious violation of commitments or duties as set forth in the Implementation Rules.
 
PRC M&A Rule
    
On August 8, 2006, six Chinese government agencies, namely, the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or SAIC, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, or SASAC, and the State Administration for Taxation, or SAT, jointly issued the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, referred to as the “New M&A Rules”, which became effective on September 8, 2006. The New M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require offshore “special purpose vehicles,” that are (1) formed for the purpose of overseas listing of the equity interests of Chinese companies via acquisition and (2) are controlled directly or indirectly by Chinese companies and/or Chinese individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of their securities on overseas stock exchanges.
 
ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risks Related To Our Business
 
Our sales revenues are derived primarily from our exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores, and should any of them perform poorly or cease purchasing wholesale merchandise from us, our sales results, revenues, net income, reputation and competitive position would suffer.
 
 
16

 
 
We sell most of our products through exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores.  Though our personnel visit the stores regularly, third party store managers make decisions about order quantities and are responsible for the daily operations and success of the stores. If  the stores to which we sell products are not successful, the store’s income could decrease and the volume of products they order from us could decline, which would negatively impact our sales.  If an exclusive franchise store bearing our brand name performs poorly or is run improperly, our reputation could be adversely affected.  Additionally, if a number of exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive franchise stores choose to cease purchasing products from us, we could experience a material decrease in revenues and net income.  There is no termination provision in, or expiration of the term of, the exclusive franchise agreements.
 
We depend heavily on large suppliers and if any of our largest suppliers cease to provide products to us, our business could be adversely affected.

All of the products purchased by us during 2011 and 2012 were provided by nineteen vendors.  In 2012, with six major vendors, Guangdong Zhigao air conditioners Co., Lu’An Zhongxing Trade Co., Shenzhen Skyworth·RGB Electronics Co. Anhui Branch, Shenzhen Tongfang Multimedia Technology Co., Shanghai Shangling Electric Appliance Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Shangdong Huangming Solar Power Sales Co. accounted for 14%, 13%, 12%, 12%, 12% and 10%, respectively, of our total purchases in 2012. In 2011, with three major vendors, Shandong Huangming, Hier Hefei Ririshun Sales Co. and Shenzhen Tongfang Multimedia Technology Co., accounted for 45%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of our total purchases in 2011. If any of vendors ceased doing business with us, we would experience significant reductions in our sales and income.

We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth, and a failure to do so could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

We plan to increase the number of our company-owned stores.  We have tried and in the future may try to enter other businesses.  Increasing the number of our company stores and entering into new businesses will likely require significant capital.  Even if we are able to secure the funds necessary to implement our growth strategies (of which there can be no assurance), we will face management, resource and other challenges in expanding our current facilities, integrating acquired assets or businesses with our own, and managing expanding product offerings. Failure to effectively deal with increased demands on our resources could interrupt or adversely affect our operations and cause production backlogs, longer product development time frames and administrative inefficiencies. Other challenges involved with expansion, acquisitions and operation include:

 
o
unanticipated costs;
 
 
o
the diversion of management’s attention for unanticipated business concerns;
 
 
o
potential adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
 
 
o
obtaining sufficient working capital to support expansion;
 
 
o
expanding our product offerings and maintaining the high quality of our products;
 
 
o
maintaining adequate control of our expenses and accounting systems;

 
o
successfully integrating any future acquisitions;
 
 
o
anticipating and adapting to changing conditions in the electronics retail industry, whether from changes in government regulations, mergers and acquisitions involving our competitors, technological developments or other economic, competitive or market dynamics; and
 
 
o
outsourcing the manufacture and production of our refrigerators to OEM manufacturers may not give us sufficient control over the quality of those products.
 
 
17

 
 
Even if we do experience increased sales due to expansion, there may be a lag between the time when the expenses associated with an expansion or acquisition are incurred and the time when we recognize such benefits, which would affect our earnings.
 
We may not be able to hire and retain qualified personnel to support our growth and if we are unable to do so, our ability to implement our business objectives could be limited. Difficulties with hiring, employee training and other labor issues could disrupt our operations.

Our operations depend on the work of our sales persons and other employees. We may not be able to retain those employees, successfully hire and train new employees or integrate new employees into the Company. Any such difficulties would reduce our operating efficiency and increase our costs of operations, and could harm our overall financial condition.
 
  Our operations also depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including Mr. Hailong Liu, and upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management, technical, marketing and sales and support personnel for our operations.  If one or more of our senior executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them within a reasonable time, which could result in disruption of our business and an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. None of our senior management personnel have signed employment agreements.  Turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete the institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team.  We depend on the skills and abilities of these key employees in managing the technical, marketing and sales aspects of our business, which could be harmed by turnover in the future.  Competition for senior management and personnel is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives or senior personnel, or attract and retain high-quality senior executives or senior personnel in the future. This failure could limit our future growth and reduce the value of our common stock.

The consumer electronics and appliances retail industry in the PRC is competitive and, unless we are able to compete effectively with competitor retailers, our profits could suffer.

The consumer electronics and appliances retail industry in the PRC has become highly and increasingly competitive. Large national retailers such as Suning Appliance and Guomei Appliance have expanded, and local and regional competition has increased. Some of these companies have substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do.

Our competitors could adapt more quickly to evolving consumer preferences or market trends, have greater success in their marketing efforts, control supply costs and operating expenses more effectively, or do a better job in formulating and executing expansion plans. Increased competition may also lead to price wars, counterfeit products or negative brand advertising, all of which may adversely affect our market share and profit margins. Existing or new competitors could receive contracts for which we compete due to events and factors beyond our control, and expansion of large retailers into new locations may limit the locations into which we may profitably expand. To the extent that our competitors are able to take advantage of any of these factors, our competitive position and operating results may suffer.

Because we face intense competition, we must anticipate and quickly respond to changing consumer demands more effectively than our competitors. In order to succeed in implementing our business plan, we must achieve and maintain favorable recognition of our private label brands (i.e. our Guoying branded products, company-owned stores and exclusive franchise stores operating under our brand name), effectively market our products to consumers, competitively price our products, and maintain and enhance a perception of value for consumers. We must also source and distribute our merchandise efficiently. Failure to accomplish these objectives could impair our ability to compete with larger retailers and could adversely affect our growth and profitability.

We do not maintain product liability insurance or business interruption insurance, and our property and equipment insurance does not cover the full value of our property and equipment.

We currently do not carry any product liability or other similar insurance or business interruption insurance. If product liability litigation becomes more commonplace in the PRC, we could be exposed to additional liability. Moreover, we may have increased product liability exposure as we expand our sales into international markets, like the United States, where product liability claims are more prevalent.
  
We may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific markets or batches.  We do not maintain recall insurance. Additionally, our property and equipment insurance does not cover the full value of our property and equipment.  In the event we do experience product liability claims or a product recall, or suffer from a natural or other unexpected disaster, business or government litigation, or any uncovered risks of operation, our financial condition and business operations could be materially adversely affected.

As all of our operations and personnel are in the PRC, we may have difficulty establishing adequate western style management, legal and financial controls.

The PRC has not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the PRC. As a result, we may experience difficulty in establishing accounting and financial controls, collecting financial data, budgeting, managing our funds and preparing financial statements, books and records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

We currently do not have in house accounting personnel that have adequate knowledge of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Instead, we rely on the expertise and knowledge of external financial advisors in US GAAP conversion who help us prepare and review the consolidated financial statements. Our lack of familiarity with Western practices generally and Section 404 specifically may unduly divert management’s time and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. As a result of our lack of U.S. GAAP trained personnel and our lack of familiarity with U.S. GAAP, our internal control over financial reporting may be deficient. If material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting are identified, this could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports, have an adverse effect on our stock price and/or subject us to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities.
 
We do not presently have a Chief Financial Officer with U.S. public company experience.
 
We do not presently have a Chief Financial Officer that is familiar with the accounting and reporting requirements of a U.S. publicly-listed company.  Currently we do not have sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting.  Instead, we rely on the expertise and knowledge of external financial advisors in US GAAP conversion who help us prepare and review the consolidated financial statements. Thus no assurance can be given that there are no material errors or weaknesses existing with our financial reporting or internal controls. In addition, we do not believe we have sufficient documentation with our existing financial process, risk assessment and internal controls. The position of Chief Financial Officer of a U.S. publicly-listed company is critical to the operations of such a company, and our failure to fill this position in a timely and effective manner will negatively impact our business.

We closed a significant number of exclusive and non-exclusive stores, mainly during the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain contracts with all or a substantial portion of our long-term stores or develop relationships with a significant number of stores in the future.
 
Our success depends in part upon retaining our contracts with exclusive and non-exclusive franchise stores. We face the risk of losing customers as a result of the expiration or termination of their contracts with us, or selection by our customers of other distributors and wholesalers of electronic consumer products of other brands. We generate a significant portion of our revenues from contracted exclusive and non-exclusive stores. Although we do not expect to terminate our contracts with a significant number of stores in 2012, we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain contracts with all or a substantial portion of our stores or develop relationships with a significant number of stores in the future.

We may not possess all the licenses required to operate our business, or may fail to maintain the licenses we currently hold. This could subject us to fines and other penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
 
We are required to hold a variety of permits, licenses and certificates to conduct our business in China and we may not possess all of the permits, licenses and certificates required for our business.  We entered into a Land Use Right Agreement with Pingqiao Industrial Park Committee, Lu An City, under which the People’s Government of Yu An District agreed to grant us land use rights covering 164,983 square meters (approximately 300 Chinese acres).  Although we have received a land use right certificate issued by People’s Government of Yu An District on April 16, 2012 with a term of 50 years for 38,449 square meters, including 19,200 square meters where our four warehouses are built, and obtained a construction permit issued by Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Yu An District, Lu An City on October 28, 2011, due to burdensome and repetitive approval procedures, we have not been granted land use rights for the rest of the land.  Pursuant to applicable PRC law, we are not permitted to operate our manufacturing facility without such certificate and as a result, there is a risk that the PRC government may declare our Land Use Right Agreement invalid.
 
We are currently negotiating with the local government to obtain a Land Use Right Certificate for rest of the land. Until we obtain the Land Use Right Certificate, the PRC government may evict our personnel from the premises and remove our manufacturing facilities that we built on the premises.  Such action would have a very significant and negative impact on our operations and business. Further, we are obligated to pay the Pingqiao Committee an additional $3.7 million when the People’s Government of Yu An District is ready to transfer to us the land use right certificate. We may not have sufficient cash to pay the remaining balance of the land’s purchase price  if we cannot generate sufficient cash from our operations in 2012.
 
In addition, there may be other circumstances under which the approvals, permits, licenses or certificates granted by the governmental agencies are subject to change without substantial advance notice, and it is possible that we could fail to obtain the approvals, permits, licenses or certificates that are required to expand our business as we intend.  If we fail to obtain or to maintain such permits, licenses or certificates, or renewals are granted with onerous conditions, we could be subject to fines and other penalties and be limited in the number or the quality of the products that we would be able to offer.  As a result, our business, result of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
 
Risks Related To Doing Business In China

The Company faces the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business that the Company may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.

The PRC economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy, but there can be no assurance that this will be the case.  A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect the Company’s interests due to factors such as changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. There can be no assurance that the government will continue to pursue economic reform policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC political, economic and social life.

The PRC laws and regulations governing the Company’s business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Any changes in such PRC laws and regulations may have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing the Company’s business, or the enforcement and performance of the Company’s arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. The Company and any future subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign funded enterprises under PRC laws, and as a result, the Company is required to comply with PRC laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty.

The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. The Company cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on the Company’s businesses.

New labor laws in the PRC may adversely affect our results of operations.

On January 1, 2008, the PRC government promulgated the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, or the New Labor Contract Law.  The New Labor Contract Law imposes greater liabilities on employers and significantly impacts the cost of an employer’s decision to reduce its workforce.  Further, it requires certain terminations to be based upon seniority and not merit. In the event we decide to significantly change or decrease our workforce, the New Labor Contract Law could adversely affect our ability to enact such changes in a manner that is most advantageous to our business or in a timely and cost effective manner, thus materially and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
 
A slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect the Company’s customers, demand for the Company’s products and the Company’s business.

All of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC and all of its revenue is generated from sales in the PRC and we cannot assure you that our historic growth will continue.  In addition, the PRC government exercises significant control over PRC economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.  Efforts by the PRC government to slow the pace of growth of the PRC economy could result in reduced demand for our products.  A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC may materially reduce the demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our business.

Inflation in the PRC could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation.  During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%.  These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation.  High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, reduce demand, materially increase our costs, and harm the market for our products and our Company.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of an investment in the Company and may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

At the present time, the Renminbi, the currency of the PRC, is not a freely convertible currency.  We receive all of our revenue in Renminbi, which may need to be converted to other currencies, primarily U.S. dollars, in order to be remitted outside of the PRC.  The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Renminbi to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars.
 
 
21

 
 
Effective July 1, 1996, foreign currency “current account” transactions by foreign investment enterprises are no longer subject to the approval of State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE,” formerly, “State Administration of Exchange Control”), but need only a ministerial review, according to the Administration of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange Provisions promulgated in 1996 (the “FX regulations”). “Current account” items include international commercial transactions, which occur on a regular basis, such as those relating to trade and provision of services.  Distributions to joint venture parties also are considered “current account transactions.”  Non-current account items, including direct investments and loans, known as “capital account” items, remain subject to SAFE approval and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items.  There are other significant restrictions on the convertibility of Renminbi, including that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. Under current regulations, we can obtain foreign currency in exchange for Renminbi from swap centers authorized by the government.  While we do not anticipate problems in obtaining foreign currency to satisfy our requirements, we cannot be certain that foreign currency shortages or changes in currency exchange laws and regulations by the PRC government will not restrict us from freely converting Renminbi in a timely manner.

The fluctuation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect investments in the Company and the value of our securities.

As the Company relies principally on revenues earned in the PRC, any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, revenues and financial condition, and the price of our common stock may be harmed.  The value of the Renminbi depends to a large extent on PRC government policies and the PRC’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar had generally been stable and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar.  However, on July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar.  Under the new policy, Renminbi may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. It is possible that the PRC government could adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in more significant fluctuation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.  We can offer no assurance that Chinese Renminbi will be stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.

For example, to the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars it receives from an offering of its securities into Renminbi for the Company’s operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert its Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on its common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Renminbi that the Company converts would be reduced. In addition, the depreciation of significant U.S. dollar denominated assets could result in a charge to the Company’s income statement and a reduction in the value of these assets.

The application of Chinese regulations relating to the overseas listing of Chinese domestic companies is uncertain, and we may be subject to penalties for failing to request approval of the Chinese authorities prior to listing our shares in the U.S.

On August 8, 2006, six Chinese government agencies, namely, the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or SAIC, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, or SASAC, and the State Administration for Taxation, or SAT, jointly issued the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, which we refer to as the “New M&A Rules”, which became effective on September 8, 2006. The New M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require offshore “special purpose vehicles,” that are (1) formed for the purpose of overseas listing of the equity interests of Chinese companies via acquisition and (2) are controlled directly or indirectly by Chinese companies and/or Chinese individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of their securities on overseas stock exchanges.  The Company has not sought any approvals under the New M&A Rules.
 
 
22

 
 
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation, application and enforcement of the New M&A Rules and CSRC has yet to promulgate any written provisions or formally declare or state whether the overseas listing of a China-related company structured similar to ours is subject to the approval of CSRC. Any violation of these rules could result in fines and other penalties on our operations in China, restrictions or limitations on remitting dividends outside of China, and other forms of sanctions that may cause a material and adverse effect to our business, operations and financial conditions.
 
The new mergers and acquisitions regulations also established additional procedures and requirements that are expected to make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a Chinese domestic enterprise that owns well-known trademarks or China’s traditional brands. We may grow our business in part by acquiring other businesses. Complying with the requirements of the new mergers and acquisitions regulations in completing this type of transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including CSRC approval, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders or our PRC subsidiary to penalties, limit our ability to distribute capital to our PRC subsidiary, limit our Chinese subsidiary’s ability to distribute funds to us, or otherwise adversely affect us.

The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued a public notice in October 2005, or the SAFE Circular No. 75, requiring PRC residents to register with the local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of China for the purpose of capital financing with assets or equities of PRC companies, referred to in the SAFE Circular No. 75 as special purpose vehicles, or SPVs. PRC residents who are shareholders of SPVs established before November 1, 2005 were required to register with the local SAFE branch before June 30, 2006. Further, PRC residents are required to file amendments to their registrations with the local SAFE branch if their SPVs undergo a material event involving changes in capital, such as changes in share capital, mergers and acquisitions, share transfers or exchanges, spin-off transactions or long-term equity or debt investments.
 
  Our current shareholders and/or beneficial owners may fall within the ambit of the SAFE notice and be required to register with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notice. If so required, and if such shareholders and/or beneficial owners fail to timely register their SAFE registrations pursuant to the SAFE notice, or if future shareholders and/or beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents fail to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the SAFE notice, this may subject such shareholders, beneficial owners and/or our PRC subsidiary to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute dividends to our company, or otherwise adversely affect our business. To date, our current shareholders and beneficial owners have not made any filings with the applicable SAFE branch.
  
We face uncertainty from the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Enterprise Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises’ Share Transfer, or Circular 698, released in December 2009 by China’s State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, effective as of January 1, 2010.
 
Pursuant to the Circular 698, where a foreign investor transfers the equity interests of a Chinese resident enterprise indirectly via disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, which we refer to as an Indirect Transfer, and such overseas holding company is located in a tax jurisdiction that: (i) has an effective tax rate less than 12.5% or (ii) does not tax foreign income of its residents, the foreign investor shall report such Indirect Transfer to the competent tax authority of the Chinese resident enterprise. The Chinese tax authority will examine the true nature of the Indirect Transfer, and if the tax authority considers that the foreign investor has adopted an abusive arrangement in order to avoid Chinese tax, they will disregard the existence of the overseas holding company and re-characterize the Indirect Transfer and as a result, gains derived from such Indirect Transfer may be subject to Chinese withholding tax at the rate of up to 10%. Circular 698 also provides that, where a non-Chinese resident enterprise transfers its equity interests in a Chinese resident enterprise to its related parties at a price lower than the fair market value, the competent tax authority has the power to make a reasonable adjustment to the taxable income of the transaction.
 
 
23

 
 
Since Circular 698 became effective on January 1, 2010, we cannot assure you that our reorganization will not be subject to examination by Chinese tax authorities or that any direct or indirect transfer of our equity interests in our Chinese subsidiary via our overseas holding companies will not be subject to a withholding tax of 10%.
 
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could harm our business.

Although we are currently not subject to these regulations, we anticipate that we will be subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove ineffective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Because the Company’s principal assets are located outside of the United States and the Company’s officers and directors reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce their rights in the U.S. based on U.S. federal securities laws against the Company and the Company’s officers and directors or to enforce U.S. court judgments against the Company or them in the PRC.

The Company is located in the PRC and substantially all of its assets are located outside of the United States.  The PRC does not have a treaty with United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts.  It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in PRC courts.  Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the United States federal securities laws or otherwise.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations governing the validity and legality of call options which are held by our Chairman and others and there can be no assurance that the call options are not in breach of such laws and regulations.
 
Under a call option agreement with our Chairman Hailong Liu, Sherry Li, the holder of 11,556,288 shares of our Common Stock, has granted to Mr. Liu an option to purchase all of her shares over the course of two years in installments upon achievement of certain performance milestones by the Company. While we believe that this arrangement is not governed by PRC laws and regulations, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and legality of call options. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not determine that the call option agreement is subject to PRC laws and regulations. If the call option agreement is deemed to be governed by PRC laws and regulations, our Chairman may be required to register with the local SAFE branch for his overseas direct investment in the Company. Failure to make such SAFE registration may subject our Chairman to fines and legal sanctions, and may also limit his ability to receive dividends from our PRC subsidiary and remit his proceeds from their overseas investment into the PRC as a result of foreign exchange control under PRC laws and regulations.

The cessation of tax exemptions and deductions by the Chinese government may affect our profitability.
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China enacted a new tax law, or the New Tax Law, whereby both foreign investment enterprises, or FIEs, and domestic companies will be subject to a uniform income tax rate of 25%. On November 28 2007, the State Council of China promulgated the Implementation Rules of the New Tax Law, the “Implementation Rules”. Both the New Tax Law and the Implementation Rules became effective on January 1, 2008. Both the New Tax Law and the Implementation Rules provide that companies not entitled to tax exemption or relevant preferential tax treatment shall be subject to 17% value added tax. The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”).  The Company is subject to VAT which is levied at a fixed annual amount. Currently, the Company is charged at a fixed annual amount of approximately $1,200 to cover all types of taxes including income taxes and VATs. This is approved by the PRC tax department. In the future, if the relevant tax authorities determine that the Company is not eligible for preferential treatment of VAT, loss of such preferential treatment may materially and adversely affect our profits, business and financial performance.
 
Risks Related To Our Common Stock

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB.  The OTCQB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ.  The quotation of our shares on the OTCQB may result in a less liquid market for our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock, could cause high volatility and price fluctuations, and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

There is a limited trading market for our common stock.

There is currently a limited trading market on the OTCQB for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that more active limited trading market will develop or be sustained.

Certain of our existing stockholders will control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders.

Sherry Li is our majority stockholder of record, holding of record, 11,556,288 shares of our Common Stock, approximately 68.9 % of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2012. As more particularly described in footnote (1) and (2) to the table contained in “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management,” Ms. Li has entered into a voting trust agreement with, and granted options to, our Chairman, Hailong Liu, to vote or purchase all 11,556,288 of ther shares held in her name. As a result, Mr. Liu has the ability to control the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as changes to our articles of incorporation and by-laws and a merger or a sale of our company or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders and be disadvantageous to our stockholders with interests different from those of our officers, directors and affiliates. Additionally, this significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our Common Stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders.
 
The elimination of monetary liability of the Company’s directors and officers under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights of the Company’s directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors and officers.

Under Nevada law, a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents under certain circumstances, including indemnification of such persons against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In addition, a corporation may purchase or maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents for any liability incurred by him in such capacity, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person.  We do not currently maintain such insurance.
 
 
25

 
 
These provisions may eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholder’s derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director, officer, employee or agent for breach of fiduciary duty. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. 
 
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.

As of March 31, 2013, there were issued and outstanding (i) 16,775,113 shares of our Common Stock, and (ii) immediately exercisable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,903,528 shares of our Common Stock. We currently have obligations to register the resale of an aggregate of 2,623,178 shares of our Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the trading market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.

We have no direct business operations, other than ownership of our subsidiaries.  While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should we decide to do so in the future, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments.  In addition, our operating subsidiaries may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions resulting from restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions discussed below.  If future dividends are paid in RMB, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars may reduce the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars.

 The Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended, the Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended and the Company Law of China (2006) contain the principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign-owned enterprises. Under these regulations, wholly foreign-owned enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. Our subsidiary in China is also required to set aside a certain amount of its accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation and cannot be used for working capital purposes. The Chinese government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from the profits of our subsidiary in China.
 Furthermore, if our subsidiary in China incurs debt in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through these contractual or dividend arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.  In addition, under current PRC law, we must retain a reserve equal to 10 percent of net income after taxes each year, with the total amount of the reserve not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital.  Accordingly, this reserve will not be available to be distributed as dividends to our shareholders.

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation could prevent or delay stockholders’ attempts to replace or remove current management or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

Under our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors is authorized to issue “blank check” preferred stock, with any designations, rights and preferences they may determine. Any shares of preferred stock that are issued are likely to have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights.  If issued, preferred stock could be used under certain circumstances as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control, which could have discourage bids to acquire us and thereby prevent shareholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares.  Though we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock, there can be no assurance that preferred stock will not be issued at some time in the future.

Dividend Policy

There are no restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that prevent us from declaring dividends.  The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:  

1.
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or
 
2.
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
 
Because we are a holding company, we rely entirely on dividend payments from our direct wholly owned subsidiary, CEH Delaware, and in turn, the various direct and indirect subsidiaries of CEH Delaware, who may, from time to time, be subject to certain additional restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us. PRC accounting standards and regulations currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits, a portion of which must be set aside to fund certain reserve funds. Our inability to receive all of the revenues from our subsidiaries’ operations may create an additional obstacle to our ability to pay dividends on our Common Stock in the future. Additionally, because the PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC, shortages in the availability of foreign currency may occur, which could restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends.
 
  We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. If in the future we are able to pay dividends and determine it is in our best interest to do so, such dividends will be paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any future financing instruments and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.
 
ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this annual report. Those statements in the following discussion that are not historical in nature should be considered to be forward looking statements that are inherently uncertain. Actual results and the timing of the events may differ materially from those contained in these forward looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the “Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Statements” set forth elsewhere in this annual report.

Overview

China Electronics Holdings, Inc (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”), formerly named Buyonate, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 2007 to engage in developing user-friendly/child friendly interactive digital software for children. The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2008. The year 2009was the first year the Company was considered an operating company, engaging in retail and wholesale distribution of consumer electronics and appliances in certain rural markets in the People’s Republic of China.
 
China Electronic Holdings, Inc. (“CEH Delaware”) was organized on November 15, 2007, as a Delaware corporation. Prior to February 10, 2010, CEH Delaware was a development stage company attempting to manufacture and sell carbon and graphite electrodes and planning to manufacture and sell electronic products in the People’s Republic of China through its own stores and franchise stores.
 
 
29

 
 
Lu’an Guoying Electronic Sales Co., Ltd., a PRC corporation, (“Guoying”) was established on January 4, 2002. Guoying sells electronic products in the PRC through its company-owned stores and to exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive stores.
 
In August 2012, Guoying contributed $945,054 to the capital of Lu An Guoying Opto-Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. (“Opto-Electronics”) which is 99% owned by Guoying. Mr. Hailong Liu, the CFO and Chairman of Guoying, contributed $9,630 to the capital of and owns 1% of Opto-Electronics.
 
Pursuant to a Share Transfer Agreement entered into on December 26, 2008 (the “2008 Share Transfer Agreement”) between the shareholders of Guoying (the “Guoying Shareholders”) and CEH Delaware, CEH Delaware agreed to acquire 40% of the outstanding equity securities of Guoying (the “Guoying Shares”) from the Guoying Shareholders in consideration for RMB 400,000. Pursuant to a Share Transfer Agreement entered into on December 31, 2009 (the “2009 December Share Transfer Agreement”) between Guoying Shareholders and CEH Delaware, CEH Delaware agreed to acquire the remaining Guoying Shares from Guoying Shareholders in consideration for RMB 600,000. The amount of RMB400, 000 was paid in February 2010 by CEH Delaware. As a result of the transaction, Guoying became a wholly foreign-owned subsidiary (“WFOE”) of CEH Delaware.
 
On July 9, 2010 we consummated a Share Exchange Agreement with certain Selling Stockholders. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, 10 former stockholders of our subsidiary, CEH Delaware, transferred to us 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of CEH Delaware and 100% of the warrants to purchase common stock of CEH Delaware held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 13,785,902 newly issued shares of our Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,570 shares of our Common Stock. CEH Delaware’s outstanding Series A warrants were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series A warrants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 314,285 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.19 per share. CEH Delaware’s outstanding Series B warrants were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series B warrants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 314,285 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.63 per share. CEH Delaware’s outstanding $1.00 warrants were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series E warrants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. Subsequent to the consummation of the Share Exchange through a merger with a wholly owned subsidiary, Buyonate, Inc. changed its name to China Electronics Holdings, Inc. The merger and name change were approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Common Stock began trading under the symbol “CEHD.OB” on August 23, 2010.
 
Results of Operations
 
Wholesale and Retail of Consumer Electronics Appliances
 
We operated 2 company-owned stores as of December 31, 2012. We opened our headquarters company-owned store located in Guangcai Big Market in the second quarter of 2011.
 
As of December 31, 2012, we have exclusive franchise agreements with 306 exclusive franchise stores operated under the Guoying brand name (the “Exclusive Franchise Stores”). We entered into franchise agreements with 247, 61, 93 and 91 new exclusive franchise stores in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. We terminated our exclusive franchise agreement with 47, 0, 233 and 131 exclusive franchise stores in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Both our Company-owned stores and our exclusive franchise stores only sell merchandise that we provide as their exclusive wholesaler, and such merchandise includes Guoying branded products as well as products from major wholesalers and manufacturers, such as Sony, Samsung and LG. 
 
As of December 31, 2012, we have non-exclusive franchise agreements with 176 stores (the “Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores”) to which we provide Guoying branded merchandise on a non-exclusive wholesale basis. We entered into franchise agreements with 111, 557, 1 and 20 non-exclusive franchise stores in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. We terminated our non-exclusive franchise agreements with 15, 18, 362 and 198 non-exclusive franchise stores in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
 
We currently target customers in county, township and villages (the third, fourth and fifth tiers of markets) in rural areas in Anhui Province of China. Our distribution and sales network currently covers twelve districts and counties in Anhui province, namely Shou County, Shu City, Jin An, Yu An, Huo Shan, Jinn Sai, Huo Qiu, Gu Shi, Ye Ji, Fei West, Fei East, and Huai Nan Districts.

In August 2011, our Board decided to terminate our exclusive and non-exclusive franchise agreements with a number of stores in order to strengthen and grow the Company’s business after concluding that the rapid growth of the number of stores serviced by the Company and aggressive business expansion had caused deficiencies in the Company’s internal controls and management. The following criteria was used to determine which stores (“Disqualified Exclusive Stores” and “Disqualified Non-Exclusive Stores”) to close (i) exclusive franchise stores that sold merchandise supplied by other wholesalers in breach of the exclusive franchise agreement; (ii) exclusive and non-exclusive franchise stores that failed to obey the Company’s pricing and resulting in lower profit margins; and (iii) stores located remotely Lu An City that result in higher transportation and logistics expenses to us. During the year ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2012, we closed 2 company-owned stores, terminated our contracts with 364 exclusive franchise stores, and terminated our contracts with 560 non-exclusive franchise stores.  We will continue to evaluate and decide if we need to terminate any more stores in 2013.

When we use the terms "open" or "opened" in referring to an exclusive or non exclusive franchise store, we mean that we had entered into a franchise agreement with such store and that it was in operation.  When we use the terms "close," "closed" or "terminated" in reference to an exclusive or non-exclusive franchise store we mean that we had terminated our agreement with such store.
 
Logistics and Transportations
 
We entered into a Land Investment Agreement for 300 Chinese acres (164,983 square meters) land with Pingqiao Industrial Park. We originally planned to build our LED manufacturing facility on the land.  We filed a proposal to obtain permission to enter into the LED manufacturing business with the Reform and Development Commission of Yu An District, Lu An City on May 13, 2011. We obtained a construction permit issued by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Yu An District, Lu An City on October 28, 2011 to build an LED manufacturing facility on the Pingqiao Land.  Due to a change in the Company’s business plans, we determined to build logistic centers on  38,449 square meters of the land.Our plan was  to construct four warehouses/logistics centers to provide distribution channels and logistics transportation services to deliver merchandise and Guoying branded products to counties, townships and villages in Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. We have started construction of four warehouses located on the Pingqiao land since October 2011. Each warehouse is 4,800 square meters. We currently stopped the construction of four logistics centers due to lack of sufficient capital.

The Company will continue focusing on becoming a significant retailer and wholesaler of consumer electronics and appliances to rural markets with a goal of having a national distribution network throughout China. The Company’s working capital will continue to be used to develop wholesale and retail business. The Company does not have sufficient capital to build an LED manufacturing and logistics centers at this time. Thus the Company will continue its electronics distribution business while it moves slowly on the development of its LED business and the construction of its logistics centers by seeking business opportunities, partners and financing.

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2011

Revenues

Our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $58,082,897, a decrease of 44.3%, or $46,132,506, from $104,215,403 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

For the 2012 year, net revenue from exclusive franchise stores was $34,256,697, a decrease of 27.5%, or $12,965,105, from $47,221,802 for the year 2011. There were 306 exclusive franchise stores as of December 31, 2012, 40 or 12%, fewer than the 346 exclusive franchise stores as of December 31, 2011. The Company entered into franchise agreements with 91 exclusive stores and terminated its agreement with 131 exclusive stores in 2012.

For the 2012 year, net revenue from non-exclusive stores was $16,147,112, a decrease of 65.8%, or $31,025,160, from $47,172,272 for the year 2011. There were 176 non-exclusive stores as of December 31, 2012, 178 or 50% fewer than the 354 non-exclusive stores as of December 31, 2011. The Company entered into a non-exclusive franchise agreement with 20 non-exclusive stores and terminated its agreement with 198 non-exclusive stores in 2012.
 
For the 2012 year, net revenue from company owned stores was $7,679,088, a decrease of 21.8%, or $2,142,241, from $9,821,329 for the year, 2011. The decreased revenue from company-owned stores was mainly because the Company opened zero and closed zero store in the year ended December 31, 2012.

Sales and Average Per Store Sales of Same Stores

Same Stores are defined as stores that we opened or entered into franchise agreements with prior to 2011 and that have been in continuous operation as of December 31, 2012 and excludes stores that were newly opened or closed or with which we entered into or terminated franchise agreements in 2011 or 2012. Same Store Sales are defined as sales from the Same Stores.

Same Stores Sales in 2011 and 2012, and the increase or decrease experienced as a percentage of Same Store Sales are as follows:

The primary reason for the increase in Same Stores Sales was the increase in sales from exclusive stores (“Same Exclusive Franchise Stores”) offset by the decrease in sales from non-exclusive franchise stores (“Same Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores”) and decrease in sales from company-owned stores (“Same Company-Owned Stores”). The increase in our sales in Same Exclusive Franchise stores is a result of the company’s many efforts in assisting such stores to increase their sales of Company supplied products. For example, the Company increased promotion and marketing for its brands in media with broader coverage, providing more support to such stores. The decrease in our sales in Same Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores is because of the decreased per store sales for Same Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores due to the decreased solar-powered products sales.

The primary reason for the decrease in New Stores Sales was the decrease of sales from new exclusive franchise stores (the “New Exclusive Franchise Stores”), offset by the increase in sales from new Exclusive franchise stores (the “New Exclusive Franchise Stores) and increase in sales from company-owned stores (the “New Company-Owned Stores”). The increase of sales from New Non-Exclusive Stores is due to the fact that the Company entered into franchise agreements with 1 New Non-Exclusive Stores in 2011 and 20 in 2012. The decrease of sales from exclusive stores is because of the decreased per stores sales for new exclusive stores due to less successful marketing to new stores in 2012 compared to 2011. The increase in sales for the New Company Owned Stores is due to increased marketing and promotion in 2012 compared to 2011.. Further, the Company closed 0 Company-Owned Stores, 131 Exclusive Franchise Stores and 198 Non-Exclusive Franchise Stores, in 2012.

The number of new stores included in the calculation of average per store sales of New Stores is as follows:

The decrease in Closed Store Sales results from the fact that Stores whose franchise agreements were terminated or which closed in 2011generated no sales for the Company in 2012. The Company resolved to close (i) exclusive franchise stores that sold merchandise supplied by other wholesalers in breach of the exclusive franchise agreement; (ii) exclusive and non-exclusive franchise stores that failed to obey the Company’s pricing strategies, resulting in lower profit margins; (iii) stores located remotely from Lu An City that resulted in higher transportation and logistics expenses to us; and (iv) stores that sold brands of merchandise not supplied by us. The Company closed two Company-owned stores to concentrate its resources in managing Company-owned stores.

The number of closed stores included in the calculation of average per-store sales of Closed Stores is as follows:

 The increased gross profit for 2012 from products sold by new exclusive franchise stores opened or with which we entered into agreements in 2012 was $661,327. The increased gross profit for 2012 from products sold by new non-exclusive stores opened or with which we entered into an agreement in 2012 was $141,625. The increased gross profit for 2012 from products sold by new company-owned stores opened in 2012 was $0.

Gross Profit Rate

Gross profit rate for 2012 was 7.92%, a decrease of approximately 47.4%, compared to 15.06% for the year 2011 due to less market demand and strong industry competition.

For the year 2012, gross profit rate for exclusive franchise stores was 7.59%, a decrease of 47.8% compared to 14.54% for the year 2011. The decrease in gross profit rates was mainly due to the fact that in 2012, we sold more products with higher cost and lower markups compared to 2011. The Company continues to improve managing its sales network as well as products offered, which continuously requires us to review pricing on existing products and existing sales channels. We expect that our pricing strategies will continue to evolve to market conditions and expect improvements to have a marginalizing effect on the noted increase in gross profit rates at exclusive franchise stores as changes in product offerings mature along with their related pricing strategies.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, gross profit rate for non-exclusive stores was 7.47%, a decrease of 50.5%, compared to 15.10% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in gross profit rates was mainly due to the fact that in 2012, we sold more products with higher cost and lower markups compared to 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, gross profit rate for company-owned stores was 10.36%, a decrease of 40.3%, compared to 17.36% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was due to the fact that in 2012, we sold more products with higher cost and lower markups compared to 2011.

Gross profit rate in 2012 from new product lines carried in 2012 was 8.4%. Gross profit rate in 2012 from new product lines carried in 2012 sold by exclusive franchise stores was 8.1%. Gross profit rate in 20121 from new product lines carried in 2012 sold by non-exclusive stores was approximately 7.9%. Gross profit rate in 2012 from new product lines carried in 2012 sold by company-owned stores was 10.1%.

Gross profit rate in 2012 from new stores opened in 2012 was 8.1%. Gross profit rate in 2012 from new exclusive franchise stores opened in 2012 was 8.2%. Gross profit rate in 2012from new non-exclusive stores opened in 2012 was 7.7% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Gross profit rate from new company-owned stores opened in 2012 was 0.0%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $6,524,216, an increase of $6,978,126, or 1,537.3%, from $(453,910) for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $2,086,788, a decrease of $1,539,094, or 42.4%, from $3,625,882 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease of selling expenses relates primarily to decreased sales commission and decreased advertising expenses due to decreased sales. The Company did not use TV commercial for the year ended December 31, 2012 and lowered the advertising expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $2,969,909, an increase of $446,701, or 17.7%, from $2,523,208 for the year ended December 31, 20101. The increase is due to increased amortization expense, audit fees and attorneys’ fees.

Bad debt allowance expense- for other receivable were $2,214,245 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Bad debt allowance expense for due from a related party were $1,109,500 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, recovery of debt expenses of $1,856,226 and $6,603,000 were recorded as a reduction of operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received $6,603,000 from the collection of a past due receivable from Pengpai that was written off in 2009 as we determined that the receivable was not collectible at that time. 
 
Net Operating Income (Loss)

Our net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $(1,921,679), a decrease of $18,067,563, or 111.9%, from $16,145,884 for the same period in 2011. The decrease was mainly due to decreased sales and gross profit and increased operating expenses.

Other Income (Expense)
 
Our net other expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $820,626, an increase of $834,885, or 5,855.1%, from $(14,259) for the same period in 2011. The increase of other income was mainly due to increase in other income of $917,358 of gain from disposal of intangible and biological asset and offset by $203,865 paid to closed stores as compensation during the year ended December 31, 2012. The compensation serves the purpose to compensate the potential loss of future sales of those 2011 closed stores. As a result of terminating our franchise contracts with those 2011 closed stores that have affected their future sales and revenue after our termination, the Company agreed to pay to the 2011 closed stores a compensation for losses for previous investment by those stores and losing potential future sales. The compensation was given to stores that we closed in 2011 and therefore did not have transactions with the Company and we generated no revenue or incurred no operating expenses from those stores during the year ended December 31, 2012, thus the Company included the compensation in other expenses to clearly present the nature of the compensation.

 
Net Income (Loss)

Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $(1,101,341), a decrease of $17,231,711, or 106.8%, from $16,130,370 for the same period in 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales, increased operating expenses, and decreased net other income for the reason set forth above.


Income Taxes Expense

Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries are generally subject to an Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) at a standard rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The State Tax Bureau of Lu’An City, Anhui province issued an income tax benefit approval to Guoying on December 10, 2011 providing that Guoying is subject to income tax and VAT benefit treatment out of a reduced rate of RMB 7,500 tax payment per year (including income tax and VAT) valid from December 1, 2011 until December 31, 2013 subject to Guoying's option to pay more in taxes should it elect to do so. Therefore, currently, Guoying is charged at a fixed annual reduced tax rate no less than RMB7, 500 per year that changes every year to cover all types of taxes including income taxes. The income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are $288 and $1,255, respectively. There were no significant book and tax basis differences.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2012 or during the year ended December 31, 2011 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9,465, decreased from $171,838 as of December 31, 2011. We have historically funded our working capital needs with amounts from operations, advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from shareholders. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $147,765 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to net cash provided by operating activities was $1,353,575 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $1,205,810. The decrease of net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to decreased net income, increased other receivable, decreased other payable, offset by decrease in accounts receivable, decrease in advances made to suppliers, increase in customer deposit, increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in 2012 compared to 2011.

The Company received a land use right certificate issued by People’s Government of Yu An District on April 16, 2012 with a validation term of 50 years until 2062 for 38,449 square meters, including 19,200 square meters where the four warehouses are built on. We are obligated to pay to Pingqiao Committee approximately $3.7 million when People’s Government of Yu An District is ready to issue us the land use right certificate for the rest of land. Due to burdensome and repetitive approval procedures, we have not been granted land use right certificate for the rest of land.  We are currently negotiating with the local government to obtain a Land Use Right Certificate for rest of the land but we are not certain when such land use right certificate will be granted to us. If we cannot generate sufficient cash from our operations to pay for the remaining balance of land purchase price in an immediate short term of time when Yu An District Government completes its approval procedures to issue us the land use right certificate for rest of the land, the PRC government may evict our personnel from the premises and remove our manufacturing facilities that we built on the premises.  Such action would have a very significant and negative impact on our operations and business.

Growth Strategies

We funded our growth strategy from our working capital and below are a summary of approximately how much we have spent in year 2012 to achieve our growth strategies:

Growth Strategies
 
Estimate in2012
   
Timing
 
             
Develop new company-owned stores in Anhui Province
  $ 391,538       2012  
                 
Develop new exclusive franchise stores in Anhui, Hunan and Hubei Provinces       
  $ 355,123       2012  
                 
Develop new non-exclusive stores in Anhui, Hunan and Hubei Provinces
  $ 3,738       2012  
                 
Constructions for logistics centers
  $ 4,615,384       2012  
 
We purchased 300 Chinese acres land with Pingqiao Industrial Park. The land was originally to be used to build our LED manufactures and due to change of our business plan, portion of which was used to build our logistics centers located in Lu An City to establish distribution channels and logistics transportation services to deliver merchandise and Guoying branded products to counties, townships and villages in Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. We have started construction of four warehouses located on Pingqiao land since October 2011. Each logistics center is 4,800 square meters and total is 19,200 square meters. The Company currently stops construction of four logistic centers.
 
In August 2012, Guoying invested $945,054 to establish Opto-Electronics which is 99% owned by Guoying. Mr. Hailong Liu, the CEO and Chairman of Guoying, invested $9,546 and owned 1% of Opto-Electronics. We filed a proposal to seek approval to enter into the LED manufacturing business with the Reform and Development Commission of Yu An District, Lu An City on May 13, 2011 and we obtained planning permit for the project and land construction issued by Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Yu An District, Lu An City on October 28, 2011. We have obtained permits to build LED manufactures on Pingqiao land. We are seeking business partners and financing to further continue the LED manufacturing and wholesale business.
 
Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,228,109 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared $5,388,620 used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $3,160,511, or 58.7%. The decrease of net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to less investment in construction in progress in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period 2011.

Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,904,771 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $2,902,172 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to decreased related party payable offset by increased proceeds from short term loan in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period 2011.
 
Inflation and Changing Prices

While inflation has increased in China over the past two years, such inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s net revenues because the Rural Consumer Electronics Plan grants a government-sponsored rebate to our rural customers. Pursuant to the terms of the policy, our prices are competitive with the prices of the same goods in urban areas, however our customers are not required to pay a market driven price. As a result of this rebate, the actual cost incurred by our customers has not materially increased despite inflation.

Obligations for Land Use Rights

The Company entered into a Land Investment on October 28, 2010 and a supplemental Deposit Agreement on December 28, 2010 with the management committee of Pingqiao Industrial Park (the “Pingqiao Committee”), under which the Pingqiao Committee is obligated to assist the Company to obtain a land use right for 300 Chinese acres to be issued by local peoples government. At first we decided to use the land to build our LED manufacturing facility. Then due to the shrink of LED market and demand we decide to use the land to build our logistics centers located in Lu An City to establish distribution channels and logistics transportation services to deliver merchandise and Guoying branded products to counties, townships and villages in Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. We have started construction of four warehouses located on Pingqiao land since October 2011. Each logistics center is 4,800 square meters and total is 19,200 square meters. We currently do not have sufficient capital to continue the construction at this time and the Company will continue its electronics distribution business while it moves slowly on the development of construction of logistic center by seeking business partners and financing. The Company paid RMB 100 million (approximately $15.74 million) of the purchase price as of December 31, 2010. The Company is not obligated to pay the remaining $3.7 million until it receive the land use right certificate issued by relevant PRC government pursuant to the Land Investment. The Company received a land use right certificate issued by peoples government of Yu An District on April 16, 2012 with a validation term of 50 years until 2062 for 38,449 square meters where the four warehouses are built on. The Company believes that if the land use right certificate is not granted to the Company by the local government, the Company will get a refund of the retainer from Pingqiao Committee pursuant to its contractual rights as set forth in Section 8 of Investment Agreement between Ping Bridge Industrial Park and Lu’an Guoying Electronics Sales Co.
 
Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition, contingencies, income taxes, and stock-based compensation.

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of related accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition – Product Sales

The Company receives revenue from sale of electronic products. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104). The Company recognizes all product sales revenue at the date of shipment to customers, when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes product sales revenue from exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive franchise stores when the products are delivered to the respective store. Product sales to all franchise stores are recorded at the gross amount billed to the store as we have determined that we are principal to the transaction because we are the primary obligor in the arrangement.

No return rights are granted to franchise stores if they are unable to sell purchased inventories to end users. Additionally, our product sales from company-owned stores are covered by the respective manufacturers’ return and warranty policies and we receive full reimbursement for any costs associated with returns and warranty payments. As such, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns.

Our sales are covered by the manufacturers’ return and warranty policies and we receive a full reimbursement for costs associated with returns and warranty payments. Therefore, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. The Company’s revenue from sales is presented as gross revenue. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer deposit.

Our products delivered to customers are checked on site by the customers and, once the products are accepted by customers, they sign the acceptance notice. Rewards or incentives given to our customers are an adjustment of the selling prices of our products; therefore, the consideration is characterized as a reduction of revenue in our income statement.
 
The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). 
 
Revenue Recognition – Franchise Fees

Franchise fees, including area development and initial franchise fees, continuing fees, and royalties (collectively referred to as “franchise fees”) received from exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive franchise stores for the right to establish new stores and royalties are charged to franchisees based on a percentage of a franchised store’s sales.

Franchise fees are accrued as unearned franchise revenue when received and are recognized as revenue when the respective franchised store opens, which is generally when we have fulfilled all significant obligations to the franchisee. Continuing fees and royalties are recognized in the period earned.

Currently, in connection with promotional efforts aimed at network growth, the Company has ceased charging franchise fees, continuing fees and royalties to our franchisees.

Legal and Other Contingencies

The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. An estimated loss from a loss contingency such as a legal proceeding or claim is accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. In determining whether a loss should be accrued we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial statements.

Income Taxes

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accounting literature also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected dividends. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be impacted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, which requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, which amends how companies test for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The new guidance permits a company to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the annual impairment test. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
  
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as required under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012.  The Company does not have a Chief Financial Officer that is familiar with the accounting and reporting requirements of a U.S. publicly-listed company, nor does it have a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) reporting. In addition, the Company does not believe it has sufficient documentation concerning its existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. There are also certain deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has adversely affected its disclosure controls that may be considered to be “material weaknesses.” 

We plan to designate individuals responsible for identifying reportable developments and to implement procedures designed to remediate the material weakness by focusing additional attention and resources on our internal accounting functions. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. 
 
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
  
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 
45

 
 
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “ Internal Control—Integrated Framework “ issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
 
Based on this assessment, management determined that as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.  The Company does not have a Chief Financial Officer that is familiar with the accounting and reporting requirements of a U.S. publicly-listed company, nor does it have a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise in US GAAP reporting. Instead, the Company relies on the expertise and knowledge of external financial advisors in US GAAP conversion who helped prepare and review the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company does not believe it has sufficient documentation concerning its existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. There also are certain deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that may be considered to be “material weaknesses.”

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Since the first quarter of our 2011 fiscal year, we began to implement the remedial measures, including but without limitations to: standardizing the Company’s definitions of each type of stores, time of signing franchise agreement and beginning of time of generation of revenue from stores; standardizing our non-accounting information system into electronic format; hiring financial professionals and supporting staff in both U.S. and China; intensifying the interaction and cooperation between our U.S. and China offices; enhancing the design and documentation of our internal control policies and procedures to ensure appropriate controls over our financing reporting.

Except as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Board Committees

We currently do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees.  Currently, our entire board of directors is responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by these committees.  We intend, however, to establish an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee of the board of directors as soon as practicable.  We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls.  The nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors.  The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures.  The compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefit policies (including stock options), including compensation of executive officers.

Our board of directors has not made a determination as to whether any member of our board of directors is an audit committee financial expert. Upon the establishment of an audit committee, the board will determine whether any of the directors qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders of                                                                  
China Electronics Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of China Electronics Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the two years period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Electronics Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CHINA ELECTRONIC HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
1.
Nature of Operations

China Electronics Holdings, Inc (the “Company” or “CEHD Nevada”), formerly named Buyonate, Inc., was a development stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 2007. Upon consummation of Share Transfer and Share Exchange transactions, the Company currently engages in wholesale and retail business of consumer electronics and appliances in certain rural markets in the People’s Republic of China.
 
In August 2012, Guoying contributed $945,054 registered capital to Lu An Guoying Opto-Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. (“Opto-Electronics”) which is 99% owned by Guoying. Mr. Hailong Liu, the CEO and Chairman of the Company, contributed $9,546 registered capital in cash and owned 1% of Opto-Electronics.
 
2008 and 2009 Share Transfer Agreements
 
China Electronic Holdings, Inc (“CEH Delaware”) was organized on November 15, 2007 in Delaware as a development stage company.
 
Lu’an Guoying Electronic Sales Co., Ltd., a domestic PRC corporation, (“Guoying”) was established on January 4, 2002 to engage in wholesale and retail of electronics consumer products to rural areas in An Hui province. Mr. Hailong Liu is the CEO and Chairman of Guoying. Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement entered into on December 26, 2008 (the “2008 Share Transfer Agreement”) between the shareholders of Guoying (the “Guoying Shareholders”) and CEH Delaware, CEH Delaware agreed to acquire 40% of the outstanding equity securities of Guoying (the “Guoying Shares”) from Guoying Shareholders in consideration for RMB 400,000 contribution of registered capital from CEH Delaware to Guoying. Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement entered into on December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Share Transfer Agreement”) between Guoying Shareholders and CEH Delaware, CEH Delaware agreed to acquire the remaining 60% of Guoying Shares from Guoying Shareholders in consideration for RMB 600,000 contribution of registered capital from CEH Delaware to Guoying. The amount of RMB400, 000 was paid in February 2010 and the amount of RMB 600,000 was paid in July 2010 by CEH.   As a result of the transactions, Guoying became a wholly foreign-owned subsidiary (“WFOE”) of CEH Delaware with registered capital of RMB 1,000,000 and subsequently increased its paid-in capital to $2,838,653 in 2010 subsequent to the 2010 PIPE financing. The transaction was approved by Ministry of Commerce of Anhui Province and registered with Administration and Industry of Commerce of Lu An City.
 
The exchange of shares pursuant to the 2008 and 2009 Share Transfers was accounted for as a reverse acquisition at historical costs since the Guoying Shareholders obtained control of CEH Delaware and the management of Guoying became the management of CEH Delaware with the appointment of Mr. Hailong Liu (Chief Executive Officer of Guoying) as CEH Delaware’s sole director and officer. Accordingly, the merger of Guoying into CEH Delaware was recorded as a recapitalization of Guoying, with Guoying being treated as the continuing entity.  The historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of Guoying.
 
2008 and 2010 Bridge Financings
 
On January 30, 2008, CEH Delaware consummated a bridge financing in amount of $275,000 made pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with a bridge investor, pursuant to which it sold 343,750 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock par value $0.00001 per share and common stock Warrant E to purchase one million shares of common stock (“CEH Delaware Shares”) at $1 per share. On January 5, 2010, CEH Delaware consummated a second bridge financing in amount of $550,000 made pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements with four bridge investors (together collectively referred to as “Bridge Investors”), pursuant to which it sold 314,285 shares of CEH Delaware Shares, 314,285 common stock underlying Warrant A and 314,285 common stock underlying Warrant B. Upon consummation of 2008 and 2010 bridge financings, the Bridge Investors constitute 8.58% of issued and outstanding shares of CEH Delaware. Guoying Shareholders, Bridge Investors, China Financial Services and its affiliates are together referred to as CEH Delaware Shareholders.

2010 Share Exchange between CEH Delaware and CEHD Nevada
 
The Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2010 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with CEH Delaware and CEH Delaware Stockholders.  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on July 15, 2010, 10 CEH Delaware Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock and 100% of the warrants to purchase common stock of CEH Delaware held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 13,785,902   newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock  (including 13,665,902 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated July 22, 2010, and 120,000 shares of common stock issued to consultants related to their professional services) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,570 shares of our Common Stock. The shares of the Company’s common stock acquired by the CEH Delaware Stockholders in such transactions constitute approximately 82.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (including 68.9% owned by Guoying Shareholders through Ms. Sherry Li”) giving effect to the share and warrant exchange and the sale of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, but not including any outstanding purchase warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, including the warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, CEH Delaware purchased from the former principal stockholder of Buyonate an aggregate of 4 million shares of our common stock and then agreed to the cancellation of such shares.
 
The Share Exchange resulted in (i) a change in our control with a shareholder of CEH Delaware owning approximately 82.2% of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, including the shares of common stock sold to PIPE investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, (ii) CEH Delaware becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary, and (iii) appointment of Mr. Hailong Liu as the Company’s sole director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer.
 
2010 PIPE Transaction
 
On July 15, 2010 we consummated a Private Placement made pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated as of July 9, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain of the Selling Stockholders, pursuant to which we sold units (the “Units”) to such Selling Stockholders.  Each Unit consists of four shares of our Common Stock, a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.70 per share (a “Series C Warrant”) and a warrant  to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.75 per share (a “Series D Warrant”).  Additional Private Placements were consummated on July 26, 2010 and August 17, 2010. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Units was $5,251,548 and in such Private Placements, an aggregate of (a) 1,989,211 shares of our Common Stock, (b) Series C Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 497,303 shares of our Common Stock and (c) Series D Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 497,303 shares of our Common Stock was sold. 
 
Call Option Agreement and Reverse Acquisition
 
Mr. Hailong Liu is the CEO and chairman of Guoying. Mr. Liu is also CEO and Chairman of CEH Delaware upon consummation of 2008 and 2009 Share Transfer and CEO and Chairman of CEHD Nevada upon consummation of 2010 Share Exchange. Ms. Sherry Li serves as nominee shareholder to hold our Common Stock on behalf of Mr. Hailong Liu who served as a nominee shareholder for Guoying Shareholders to be in compliance with the PRC M&A rules and regulations.

Mr. Hailong Liu entered into a call option agreement (the “2010 February Call Option Agreement”) and voting trust agreement (the “2010 February Voting Trust Agreement) with Sherry Li dated February 10, 2010.  Pursuant to the 2010 February Call Option and Voting Trust Agreement, Ms. Sherry Li agreed to serve as nominee shareholder for Mr. Liu and grant Mr. Hailong Liu the voting power and call option to acquire 13,213,268 CEH Delaware shares held by Ms. Sherry Li.  Mr. Hailong Liu served as nominee shareholder for Guoying Shareholders. In February 2010, CEHD Delaware issued 13,213,268  CEH Delaware Shares, constituting 96.6% of issued and outstanding shares of CEH Delaware to Mr. Hailong Liu under the name of Sherry Li concurrent with the 2008 and 2009 Shares Transfers. Mr. Hailong Liu entered into a call option agreement (the “2010 July Call Option Agreement”) and voting trust agreement (the “2010 July Voting Trust Agreement”) with Sherry Li, dated July 9, 2010. Pursuant to the 2010 July Call Option Agreements, Mr. Liu received two-year options exercisable for 11,556,288 shares of common stock (the Option Shares) from Sherry Li concurrent with the 2010 July Share Exchange and Mr. Liu shall have right and option to acquire 50% of Option Shares upon first filing of a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 23, 2010 following the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement and 50% of the remaining Option Shares 2 years after such filing by August 23, 2012. The Voting Trust Agreements provide that Ms. Sherry Li shall not vote or dispose of the respective portion of the shares of common stock without Mr. Liu’s prior written consent and is obligated to transfer Option Shares to Mr. Liu at nominal consideration of $0.001 per share par value. The Voting Trust Agreements further provides that, Sherry Li, the nominee shareholder, has no decision power to vote or dispose of the Option Shares without Mr. Liu’s consent.

Pursuant to the terms of the Call Option Agreement, Mr. Liu received 5,778,144 shares in August 2010 and 5,778,144 shares in January 2013 from Ms. Sherry Liu pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Call Option Agreement. Upon exercise of the options, Mr. Liu purchased each share for $0.001 and upon Mr. Liu’s exercises of all of his options, he owned a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. 

The 2008 and 2009 Share Transfer Transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition at historical costs since Guoying Shareholders obtained control of 96.6% of outstanding CEH Delaware Shares through Sherry Li as nominee shareholder and Guoying management, Mr. Hailong Liu, became the management of CEH Delaware. Accordingly, the merger of Guoying into CEH Delaware was recorded as a recapitalization of Guoying, with Guoying being treated as the continuing entity.  The historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of Guoying.
 
The exchange of shares pursuant to the July 10, 2010 Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition at historical cost since CEH Delaware Shareholders obtained control of 82.2% of outstanding shares of the Company, including 68.9% of outstanding shares of the Company owned by Guoying Shareholders, and the management of CEH Delaware, Mr. Hailong Liu, became the management of the Company. Mr, Liu, who maintained control of Guoying prior to the mergers and subsequently, obtained control of CEH Delaware pursuant to 2009 Share Transfer, effectively obtained control of the Company upon completion of 2010 Share Exchange subject to the Voting Trust Agreement and Call Option Agreement. Accordingly, the merger of CEH Delaware into the Company was recorded as a recapitalization of CEH Delaware, with CEH Delaware being treated as the continuing entity.  The historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of CEH Delaware which are in essence the financial statements of Guoying.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Construction in Progress
 
Construction in progress at December 31, 2012 amounted to $8,196,005. During 2011, the Company started construction of four buildings, 4,800 square meters each and 19,200 square meters in total, on Pingqiao land to be used as warehouses to build the Company’s logistic center. The Company does not have sufficient capital to continue building the construction and will continue focusing on its electronics distribution business while it moves slowly on this construction by seeking business partners and financing.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. The functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however the accompanying financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”).
 
 
F-9

 
 
Economic and Political Risks
 
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges as a result of having primary operations and marketing in the PRC. Changing political climates in the PRC could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company, its wholly owned subsidiary CEH Delaware, and its wholly owned subsidiary Guoying. The financial statements of co-operative stores (exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive franchise stores) are not consolidated as these stores are independently managed and they have no right to return their purchased goods.
 
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Deposits held in financial institutions in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency. The restricted cash of $0 represents amount deposited by the company against issuance of acceptance bill to its supplier. The Company issues acceptance bills to its suppliers through Chinese banks from time to time. Acceptance bills are in the form of notes payables that are written promises to pay stated sums of money at future dates. Standard practice in China requires Companies to maintain restricted deposits at those banks that issue acceptance bills to suppliers of the Company to ensure sufficient payment on demand.
 
Trade Accounts Receivable

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management’s regular assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. These factors continuously change, and can have an impact on collections and the Company’s estimation process. These impacts may be material. Management reviews and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects the management’s best estimate of potentially uncollectible trade receivables. Certain accounts receivable amounts are charged off against allowances after a designated period of collection efforts. Subsequent cash recoveries are recognized as income in the period when they occur. Allowance for doubtful debts amounted for accounts receivable to $362,016 and $2,198,376 as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We do not set a specific date for payments from customers. The Company reviews the balance periodically and decides the collection time based on the market condition, the Company’s cash position, the potential purpose from the customers, the amount of the sales, and other conditions.

Advances

As is customary in the PRC, the Company makes advances to its suppliers for inventory and property and equipment.  Advances are classified as current assets when the advances relates to the purchase of inventory.  The Company also makes advances to suppliers for construction of its property and equipment.  Such advances are classified as long-term since the assets to which the advances relate are long-term assets. If the Company determines that the products for which it prepaid will not be delivered then an impairment charge is taken.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value. The cost of the inventory includes that costs of acquiring electronic products sold plus freight in costs incurred acquiring the inventory.  The freight costs are allocated to the individual products purchased.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Inventories consist of the following:

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Major renewals are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation related to manufacturing is reported in cost of revenues. Depreciation not related to manufacturing is reported in selling, general and administrative expenses. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:
 
Furniture and office equipment
5 years
Motor vehicles
10 years

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed annually to assess whether the carrying value has become impaired according to the guidelines established in FASB Codification (ASC) 360. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of December 31, 2012, the Company expects these assets to be fully recoverable. No impairment of assets was recorded in the periods reported.

Revenue Recognition – Product Sales

The Company receives revenue from sale of electronic products. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 605 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104). The Company recognizes all product sales revenue at the date of shipment to customers, when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes product sales revenue from our sales to exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive franchise stores when the products are delivered to the respective store. Product sales to all co-operative stores are recorded at the gross amount billed to the store as we have determined that we are principal to the transaction because we are the primary obligor in the arrangement.
  
No return rights are granted to co-operative stores if they are unable to sell their purchased inventories to the end users. Additionally, our product sales from company-owned stores are covered by the respective manufacturers’ return and warranty policies and we receive full reimbursement for any costs associated with returns and warranty payments. As such, we do not estimate deductions or allowance for sales returns. The Company’s revenue from sales is presented as gross revenue. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. Unearned revenue amounted to $0 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Our products delivered to franchise stores would be checked on site by such stores and, once the products are accepted by such stores, they will sign the acceptance notice. Rewards or incentives given to our retail franchise stores are an adjustment of the selling prices of our products sold to our customers; therefore, the consideration is characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in our income statement.
 
The Company recognizes its revenues net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). Currently, the Company is subject to beneficial treatment of income tax and VAT approved by the local Government and hence, a reduced fixed annual tax rate in amount of no more than approximately $1,200 cover income tax and value added taxes. 

Revenue Recognition – Franchise Fees

Franchise fees, including area development and initial franchise fees, continuing fees, and royalties (collectively referred to as “franchise fees”) received from co-operative stores (exclusive franchise stores and non-exclusive franchise stores) for the purpose of establishing new stores and royalties are charged to franchisees based on a percentage of a franchised store’s sales.

Franchise fees are accrued as unearned franchise revenue when received and are recognized as revenue when the respective franchised store opens, which is generally when we have fulfilled all significant obligations to the franchisee. Continuing fees and royalties are recognized in the period earned.

Currently, in connection with promotional efforts aimed at network growth, the Company has ceased charging franchise fees, continuing fees and royalties to our exclusive stores.
Currently, in connection with promotional efforts aimed at network growth, the Company has ceased charging franchise fees, continuing fees and royalties to our exclusive store. As such, total franchise fees for the years-ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were 0.
 
Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the costs of the products sold, including freight in charges on those goods.
 
 
F-12

 
 
Selling Expenses

Selling expenses include costs incurred in connection with performing general selling activities, such as sales commissions, freight-out charges, marketing and advertisement costs, shipping and handling costs, and sales salaries.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include the costs of non-selling related salaries and related employee benefits, professional service fees, rent and depreciation, warehousing costs, office supplies, bad debts expense, and amortization of intangible assets (land).
 
Shipping and Handling Costs

ASC 605-45-20 (formerly EITF No. 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs” ) establishes standards for the classification of shipping and handling costs. Shipping and Handling costs include shipping and handling costs related to shipping and handling our products from our warehouses to buyers’ designated locations at our exclusive or non-exclusive franchise stores, and company owned stores (collectively referred to as the “Stores”). Shipping and handling costs that are billed to Stores are classified as revenue, while those costs not billed to Stores are classified as selling expenses. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers and included within revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $0 because the Company did not charge any shipping and handling expenses from Stores. Shipping and handling costs not billed to Stores and included within selling expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $863,798 and $849,850, respectively.

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs of $107,323 and $654,410 are included in selling expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income

The accompanying financial statements are presented in US dollars. The functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”) of the PRC. The financial statements are translated into US dollars from RMB at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
 
RMB is not freely convertible into the currency of other nations. All such exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. There is no guarantee the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at rates used in translation. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the cumulative translation adjustment of $5,355,160 and $3,347,001, respectively, was classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, translation adjustment was $2,008,159 and $1,581,337, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”) Under the asset and liability method as required by ASC 740, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities, and as such, no valuation allowances were recorded at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
 
F-13

 
 
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
 
Under ASC 740, evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

The Company’s operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States and the PRC jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, and as a result the ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain. However, the Company does not anticipate any events that would lead to changes to these uncertainties.
 
Restrictions on Transfer of Assets Out of the PRC

Dividend payments by the Company are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC. No dividends may be paid by the Company without first receiving prior approval from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. However, no such restrictions exist with respect to loans and advances.

Financial Instruments

ASC 825 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of those instruments. ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”), adopted July 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables, including short-term loans, qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization and, if applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows: 

 
·
Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
·
Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 
·
Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
 
The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820.
 
 
F-14

 
 
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation expense pursuant to ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payment.”) The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options, it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.
 
  Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures as the Company has a short history of issuing options. ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

There was no stock based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with ASC 230 (formerly SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows”) cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
 
Segment Reporting

ASC 280 (formerly SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”) requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The Company uses the management approach model for segment reporting, which is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company has determined that its operations consist of three reportable business segments as all revenue is derived from customers in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and all of the Company’s assets are located in PRC.

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 February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, which requires entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, which amends how companies test for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The new guidance permits a company to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the annual impairment test. The ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had 0 and 1,903,526 warrants outstanding that were anti-dilutive.

Advances
 
The current advances to suppliers amounted to $17,532,739 and $6,722,052 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company initially booked all advances for construction of property and equipment as construction in progress. The Company then adjusts the amount that has not been used in construction in progress to long term advances for construction of property and equipment based on percentage of completion. As of December 31, 2012, the Company advanced approximately $6.9 million to Zhong Zing trading Co. to obtain the authorization to sell Ge Li brand air conditioners and advanced approximately $3.4 million to Huang Ming solar Co.

The advances to suppliers for construction of its property and equipment are classified as long-term since the assets to which the advances relate are long-term assets. If the Company determines that the products for which it prepaid will not be delivered then an impairment charge is taken. The Company transfers long term advances related to construction to construction in progress once used in construction.

The Chinese government owns all land in the PRC. However, the government grants "land use rights" for terms ranging from 20 to 50 years. The Company is amortizing the cost of land use rights over the usage terms of 30 years. Intangible assets are reviewed at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of December 31, 2012, the Company determined that there had been no impairment.

Approximately $15,740,000 was paid to an unrelated party - Pingqiao Industrial Park in Luan city, Anhui Province, China  for acquiring land use rights. The Company intends to construct a factory, research and development center and a commercial center on this land.

Approximately $6,296,000 was paid to Youbang Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., an unrelated party for acquiring land use rights as of December 31, 2010. The Company intended to build a warehouse and distribution center on this land. $6,296,000 was returned to the Company as of December 31, 2012. The agreement was canceled due to the seller’s failure to provide land use right certificate.
 
On January 1, 2011, the Company leased a land use right of 503 Chinese acres of land with twenty years term for the company’s agricultural and forestry business and we have advanced approximately $189,000 as of December 31, 2012 for lease of 2010 and 2011.

Effective on December 29, 2012, the Company transferred the lease right and the plants on the leased land to Senyuan for approximately $32,100, due by October 2013. According to the contract, Sen Yuan paid $952,141 rent of 2012 for CEH, and it will be deducted from the payment of Senyuan in the future. The Company has fully reserved bad debt expenses for the related party receivable due to the uncertainty of the collection.

 
Amortization expenses amounted $631,802 and $1,161,901 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company does not have amortization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 because in 2010 the land use right are advances for land use right for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company amortizes Pingqiao Industrial Park land use right over 30 years as the Company estimates that it will use the land use right for the construction purpose for a period of 30 years. The Company has amortized land use right for a portion of the Pingqiao land for the period before it received a land use right certificate because the Company has advanced a down payment for the land, built constructions on the land, and received the land use right for a parcel of the land. The Company will amortize land use right for the remaining parcel of Pingqiao land when the Company pays the remaining $3.7 million land use right and builds constructions on such land.

Stockholders’ Equity

Pursuant to Share Transfer Agreements dated December 2008 and 2009, Guoying Shareholders transferred 100% of shares of Guoying Electronic Group Co, Ltd. to CEH Delaware in exchange for an aggregate of 13,213,268  CEH Delaware Shares held by Sherry Li who served as nominee shareholder through 2010 February Voting Trust and Call Option Agreements for Mr. Hailong Liu who served as nominee shareholder for Guoying Shareholders , constituting 96.6% of issued and outstanding shares of CEH Delaware and for a consideration of RMB 1,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”).   Guoying became a wholly foreign-owned subsidiary (“WFOE”) of CEH Delaware.

The Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2010 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with CEH Delaware and certain stockholders and warrant holders of CEH Delaware (the “CEH Delaware Stockholders”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on July 15, 2010, 10 CEH Delaware Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock and 100% of the warrants to purchase common stock of CEH Delaware held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 13,785,902   newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock  (including 13,665,902 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated July 22, 2010, and 120,000 shares of common stock issued to consultants related to their professional services) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,570 shares of our Common Stock. The shares of the Company’s common stock acquired by the CEH Delaware Stockholders in such transactions constitute approximately 82.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock giving effect to the share and warrant exchange and the sale of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, but not including any outstanding purchase warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, including the warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, CEH Delaware purchased from the former principal stockholder of Buyonate an aggregate of 4 million shares of our common stock and then agreed to the cancellation of such shares.

The Share Exchange resulted in (i) a change in our control with a shareholder of CEH Delaware owning approximately 82.2%of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, including the shares of common stock sold to PIPE investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, (ii) CEH Delaware becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary, and (iii) appointment of Mr. Hailong Liu as the Company’s sole director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer.
 
The exchange of shares pursuant to the July 10, 2010 Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition at historical cost since the controlling stockholder and beneficial owner of CEH Delaware obtained control of the Company and the management of CEH Delaware became the management of the Company. Mr., Liu, who maintained control of Guoying prior to the mergers and subsequently, obtained control of CEH Delaware pursuant to 2009 Share Transfer, effectively obtained control of the Company upon completion of Share Exchange subject to the Voting Trust Agreement and Call Option Agreement.

Statutory Reserve Fund

The laws and regulations of the PRC require that before a Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture enterprise distributes profits to its partners, 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 reserves. The statutory reserves include the surplus reserve fund, the common welfare fund, and the enterprise fund. These statutory reserves represent restricted retained earnings.
 
The Company is required to transfer 10% of its net income, as determined in accordance with the PRC’s 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 years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company transferred $(109,297) and $1,656,663, 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, and may 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.
 
Enterprise fund
 
The enterprise fund may be used to acquire fixed assets or to increase the working capital to expand production and operations of the Company. No minimum contribution is required and the Company has not made any contribution to this fund. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company transferred $0 and $0, respectively, to this reserve.

Income Tax
 
The Company is registered in the State of Nevada and has operations in primarily two tax jurisdictions – the People’s Republic of China and the United States. For operation in the US, the Company has incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at these locations as of December 31, 2012. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets.
 
Our effective tax rates were approximately 0% and 0% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Currently the local government and central government tax benefit will expire on December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate due to the fact that our operations are carried out in foreign jurisdictions, which are subject to lower income tax rates.

The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

People’s Republic of China (PRC)

Under the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries are generally subject to an Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) at a standard rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. The State Tax Bureau of Lu’An City, Anhui province issued an income tax benefit approval to Guoying on September 2, 2007 providing that Guoying is subject to income tax and VAT benefit treatment of reduced rate of RMB 7,500 tax payment per year (including income tax and VAT) valid from October 1, 2007 until December 31, 2010. The State Tax Bureau of Lu’An City, Anhui province issued an income tax benefit approval to Guoying on December 10, 2011 providing that Guoying is subject to income tax and VAT benefit treatment of reduced rate of RMB 7,500 tax payment per year (including income tax and VAT) valid from December 1, 2011 until December 31, 2013. However, according to the approval, Guoying has option to pay more tax per year at its discretion. Therefore, currently, Guoying is charged at a fixed annual amount of reduced tax rate of no less than RMB7, 500 per year that changes every year to cover all types of taxes including income taxes. The income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are $288 and $1,255, respectively. There were no significant book and tax basis differences.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Uncertainties and Commitments and Contingencies

Credit Risk

The Company’s practical operations are all 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, and by the general state of the PRC's economy.
 
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected 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.

Concentration of credit risk exists when changes in economic, industry or geographic factors similarly affect groups of counter parties whose aggregate credit exposure is material in relation to the Company’s total credit exposure.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there is no major customer that individually comprised more than 10% of the Company’s total sales.

There are five major vendors accounting for over 10% of the Company’s total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2012, with Shenzhen Tongfang Multimedia Technology Co. accounting for 12%, Guangdong Zhigao air conditioners Co. accounting for 14%, Lu’An Zhongxing Trade Co. accounting for 13%, Shenzhen Skyworth·RGB Electronics Co. Anhui Branch accounting for 12%, Shanghai Shangling Electric Appliance Manufacturing Co., Ltd. accounting for 12%. The accounts payable balance as of December 31, 2012 for these two vendors was $0. There are two major vendors each accounting for over 10% of the Company’s total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2011, with Shangdong Huangming Solar Power Sales Co. accounting for 45%, Hefei Ririshun Sales Co. accounting for 10%. T he accounts payable balance as of December 31, 2011 for these two vendors was $0.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, denominated in the U.S. dollar. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect the cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position of the Company.
    
Contingency

The Company is in litigation with its prior attorney, who commenced an action against the company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York on February 2011 for approximately $145,308.14 plus accrued interest for legal services provided to China Financial Services, a financial advisory firm, on behalf of the Company. The Company intends to contest this action and believes that there are defenses available to the Company. This amount has been accrued as of December 31, 2012 and is included in accrued expenses.
 
In connection with our private placement in July and August 2010, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with the investors which set forth the rights of the investors to have the registrable shares registered with the SEC for public resale.  Pursuant to the registration rights provisions, we agreed to file the registration statement pursuant to the Subscription Agreement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by the date (the “Required Effectiveness Date”)  which is not later than the earlier of (x) one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the final closing date of the Offerings dated July 9, 2010, or (y) ten (10) business days after oral or written notice to the Company or its counsel from the Commission that it may be declared effective.  The registration statement has not been declared effective before the Required Effectiveness Date (the “Required Effectiveness Failure”). As liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”), the Company shall deliver to the Subscribers, as on a pro-rata basis an amount equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the aggregate Issue Price of the Purchased Securities owned of record by such Subscribers on the first business day after the Non-Registration Event and for each subsequent thirty (30) day period. The maximum aggregate Liquidated Damages payable to the Subscriber under this Agreement shall be five percent (5%) of the aggregate Issue Price paid by the Subscribers. The registration statement was not declared effective by Required Effectiveness Date, as such an Effectiveness Failure occurred and the Company made an estimate of the probable amount in year 2012 that it would pay in damages and accrued $262,500.

In connection with our private placement in July and August 2010, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement with investor representatives and certain investors dated July 18, 2012, wherein the Company has paid $179,020.51 as of June 30, 2012 and it agreed to pay additional $50,000 by July 31, 2012 and the remaining $33,479.49 by August 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has made payment of Liquidated Damages in full amount of $262,500.  In consideration of full payment of liquidated damages, the investors forever releases and discharges the Company, its shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Releasees") from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, and liabilities of any kind whatsoever arising out of or in connection with the Subscription Agreements and Share Exchange Agreement, and the failure of the Company to perform any of its obligations thereunder up to the execution date of the Amended Settlement Agreement. In particular, the investors agreed to waive their rights to claim any more liquidated damages and declare any future Event of Default under Section 7(o) “Further Registration Statements”, Section 7(r) “Uplisting” and Section 9(d) “Non-Registration Events” of their Subscription Agreements.  

Further, pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Subscription Agreement, the Company has right to terminate or suspend registration statement or its reporting and filing obligations, unless relevant securities laws and regulations provide otherwise, until the later to occur of (i) two (2) years after the Final Closing Date by August 2012, or (ii) the Purchased Securities can be resold or transferred by the Subscribers pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) since August 2011.

Obligations for Land Use Rights
 
The Company entered into a Land Investment  Agreement on October 28, 2010 and a supplemental Deposit Agreement on December 28, 2010 with the management committee of Pingqiao Industrial Park (the “Pingqiao Committee”), under which the Pingqiao Committee is obligated to assist the Company to obtain a land use right for 164,983 square meters (approximately 300 Chinese acres) to be issued by local people's government where our construction and investment project will be built.  The Land Use Right Certificate is to be approved and issued by People’s Government of Yu An District and Pingqiao Committee is the management committee in charge of project investment on this parcel of land. 120 Chinese acres of this land is for commercial use and 180 Chinese acres of this land is for industrial use. The Company paid RMB 100 million (approximately $15.74 million) of the purchase price as of December 31, 2010. The Company is not obligated to pay the remaining $3.7 million until it receives the land use right certificate issued by relevant PRC government pursuant to the Land Investment Agreement. The Company believes that if the land use right certificate is not granted to the Company by the local government, the Company will get a refund of the retainer from Pingqiao Committee pursuant to its contractual rights.

China Electronics Holdings, Inc (Parent Company)

Under PRC regulations, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Guoying, may pay dividends only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with the accounting standards and regulations prevailing in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). In addition, Guoying is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund the statutory general reserve until the balance of the reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. The amount in excess of 10% of income tax to be contributed to the statutory general reserve is at Guoying’s discretion. The statutory general reserve is not distributable in the form of cash dividends to the Company and can be used to make up cumulative prior year losses, if any, and may be converted into share capital by the issue of new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings, or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital. Further, Guoying is also required to allocate 5% of the profit after tax, determined in accordance with PRC GAAP, to the statutory public welfare fund which is restricted to be used for capital expenditures for staff welfare facilities owned by the Company. The statutory public welfare fund is not available for distribution to equity owners (except in liquidation) and may not be transferred in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends. As of December 31, 2012, an aggregate amount of $4,185,764 has been appropriated from retained earnings and set aside for statutory general reserve and public welfare fund, by Guoying.
 
As of December 31, 2012, the amount of restricted net assets of Guoying, which may not be transferred to the Company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends by the subsidiaries without the consent of a third party, was approximately 7.43% of the Company’s consolidated net assets as discussed above. In addition, the current foreign exchange control policies applicable in the PRC also restrict the transfer of assets or dividends outside the PRC.

Segment information
 
ASC 280 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
 
During 2011 and 2010, the Company was organized into three main business segments: (1) Exclusive franchise stores, (2) Non-exclusive franchise stores, and (3) Company owned stores. The following table presents a summary of operating information and certain year-end balance sheet information as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  During the year ended December 32, 2012, the Company incurred a loss of $1,101,341.   If the Company is unable to generate profits and is unable to continue to obtain financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business sharply or cease business altogether.
 
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to retain its current financing, to obtain additional financing, and ultimately to attain profitability.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
