TIANJIN ZHONGHE AUTOMOBILE SALES AND SERVICE CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
(1)
Organization and Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The financial statements consist of the financial statements of Tianjin Zhonghe Automobile Sales and Services Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “Zhonghe”).

Zhonghe was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on September 19, 2010.  Zhonghe’s business includes (i) sales of imported automobiles; (ii) sales of automotive accessories; and (iii) rentals of premises for automobile sales, storage and exhibition.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and condensed statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited.   These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted and the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, these condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of Zhonghe as of September 30, 2013, the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  These condensed financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Currency Reporting
 
Amounts reported in the condensed financial statements are stated in US Dollars, unless stated otherwise. The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign currency transactions (outside the PRC) are translated into RMB according to the prevailing exchange rate at the transaction dates. For the purpose of preparing the condensed financial statements, the condensed balance sheet of the Company has been translated into US dollars at the current exchange rate as of the end of the respective reporting period and the condensed statements of operations have been translated into US dollars at the weighted average exchange rates in effect during the periods the transactions were recognized. The resulting translation gain adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s main source of income was generated through (1) sales of automobiles, (2) sales of automotive accessories, and (3) rentals of premises for automobile sales, storage, and exhibition with lease terms less than one year.  The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred upon shipment or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
 
5

 
 
The Company recognizes the sales of automobiles and sales of automotive accessories upon delivery and acceptance by the customers and where collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
Rental income generated from rentals of the premises is recognized based on the rental contract value over the contract terms using the straight life method.
 
The Company’s revenue is reported net of value added taxes, business taxes and other sales related taxes collected on behalf of specific regulatory agencies that require remittance by a specified date. These amounts are collected at the time of sale and are detailed on invoices provided to customers.

The Company acquired the rights to use the land where the Auto Mall Facility resides, including the building, improvements and land use rights, for a 34-year period ending November 2044.  Accordingly,  the entire basis of the mall is depreciated over this 34-year period.

Income Taxes
 
The Company conducts substantially all of its business in the PRC and is subject to PRC income taxes. The Company is subject to the standard PRC tax rate of 25% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
The Company’s income tax provision amounted to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (an effective rate of 0% for 2013 and 2012). A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes, with amounts determined by applying the statutory PRC statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes, is as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, a full valuation allowance has been provided against the balance of deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the realization of any deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $4.3 million of net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2015.  For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. Tax regulations are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. All tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, continue to be more likely than not ultimately settled at the full amount claimed. The Company’s tax filings are subject to the PRC tax bureau’s examination for a period up to 5 years. The Company is not currently under any examination by the PRC tax bureau.
