CHINA UNITED INSURANCE SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

  

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

China United Insurance Service, Inc. (“China United”, “CUIS” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation organized on June 4, 2010 by Mao Yi Hsiao, a Taiwanese citizen, as a listing vehicle for ZLI Holdings Limited (“CU Hong Kong”) to be quoted on the United States Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”).

 

CU Hong Kong, a wholly owned Hong Kong-based subsidiary of China United, was founded by China United, on July 12, 2010 under Hong Kong law. On October 20, 2010, CU Hong Kong founded a wholly foreign owned enterprise, Zhengzhou Zhonglian Hengfu Business Consulting Co., Ltd. (“CU WFOE”) in Henan province in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

 

On January 16, 2011, the Company issued 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value, to several non-US persons for $300,000. The issuance was made pursuant to an exemption from registration in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The consideration was paid to the account of CU Hong Kong by May 6, 2011. All $300,000 was contributed into the bank account of CU WFOE as registered capital. On January 28, 2011, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 30,000,000 to 100,000,000 and authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

Law Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (“Anhou”, formerly known as Zhengzhou Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. or Henan Law Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd.) was founded in Henan province of the PRC on October 9, 2003. Anhou provides insurance agency services in the PRC.

 

On November 26, 2013, Anhou changed its name into Law Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. and obtained its new business license. On December 18, 2013, Anhou obtained its new Professional Insurance Agency License from local bureau of China Insurance Regulatory Commission (“CIRC”) which reflects its new name. On February 26, 2014, Anhou completed the registration of the change of its registered address to Room 1906-1910, No. 215 Jiangdong Middle Road, Jianye District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province with the local AIC of Jiangsu Province. The new business license was issued to Anhou on February 26, 2014. Anhou obtained the Professional Insurance Agency License issued by Jiangsu Bureau of CIRC on April 21, 2014. Anhou is in the process to complete the registration of the share pledge with local AIC. Anhou’s previous headquarters located at Building 4K, Hesheng Plaza, No. 26 Yousheng South Road, Jinshui District, Zhengzhou, Henan province, has been registered as the Henan branch office of Anhou and it obtained the Professional Insurance Agency License issued by Henan Bureau of CIRC on January 3, 2014 and the business license issued by local AIC on January 9, 2014.

 

Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in the insurance agency businesses in China, particularly those based on qualifications as well as capital requirements of the investors, Able Capital Holding Co., Ltd., a limited liability company established and registered in Hong Kong, delegated four PRC individuals, namely Wang Yanyan, Chen Zhaohui, Hou Weizhe and Zhang Yong, to invest in Anhou on its behalf. On September 26, 2013, the new PRC individual investors, namely Wang Yanyan, Chen Zhaohui, Yue Jing, Hou Weizhe, Zhang Yong, Chen Li (“Anhou New Investors”) and the original shareholders of Anhou (“Anhou Original Shareholders”) entered into a shareholders resolution of Anhou, pursuant to which, Anhou Original Shareholders and Anhou New Investors agreed to increase the registered capital of Anhou to RMB50 million (approximately $8 million). On October 24, 2013, Anhou Original Shareholders entered into share transfer agreements (the “Share Transfer Agreements”) with Hu Changrong, a PRC citizen (“Mr. Hu” together with Anhou New Investors, “Anhou Existing Shareholders”), respectively. Under the Share Transfer Agreements, Anhou Original Shareholders transferred all of their equity interests in Anhou to Mr. Hu..

Sichuan Kangzhuang Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Kangzhuang”) was founded on September 4, 2006 in the Sichuan province in the PRC and provides insurance agency services in the PRC.  On August 23, 2010, at Sichuan Kangzhuang’s general meeting of shareholders, its shareholders voted to sell their shares to Anhou for RMB532,622 ($78,318). On September 6, 2010, the equity transfer agreements were signed between Anhou and each shareholder of Sichuan Kangzhuang. Sichuan Kangzhuang then had net liabilities of RMB219,123 ($32,134). Goodwill of RMB751,745 ($110,452) was therefore recorded. However, Sichuan Kangzhuang suffered loss since the acquisition, indicating the impairment of goodwill. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the goodwill was fully impaired.

 

Jiangsu Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu Law”) was founded on September 19, 2005 in Jiangsu Province in the PRC. Jiangsu Law provides insurance brokerage services in the PRC. On August 12, 2010, at Jiangsu Law’s general meeting of shareholders, its shareholders voted to sell their shares to Anhou for RMB518,000 ($75,475) and Anhou increased Jiangsu Law’s paid-in capital to RMB10,000,000 ($1,355,150) from RMB5,180,000 ($625,113), on January 18, 2011, to meet the PRC paid-in capital requirements for insurance brokerage companies. On September 28, 2010, the equity transfer agreements were signed between Anhou and each shareholder of Jiangsu Law. On acquisition date, Jiangsu Law had net assets of RMB2,286,842 ($341,425). Based on the purchase price allocation, the fair value (“FV”) of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed exceeded the FV of the consideration paid. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on acquisition of RMB1,768,842 ($267,156).

 

Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in insurance agency and brokerage businesses in China, especially those on qualifications and capital requirements of the investors, we operate our business primarily through our Consolidated Affiliated Entities (“CAE”) in PRC. On January 17, 2011, CU WFOE and Anhou and Anhou Original Shareholders entered into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the “Old VIE Agreements”) pursuant to which CU WFOE has executed effective control over Anhou through these contractual arrangements. As a result of the capital increase and the share transfer described above, on October 24, 2013, CU WFOE, Anhou and Anhou Existing Shareholders entered into a series of variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”), including Power of Attorneys, Exclusive Option Agreements, Share Pledge Agreements, in the same form as the previous Old VIE Agreements, other than the change of shareholder names and their respective shareholdings. The Old VIE Agreements were terminated by and among CU WFOE, Anhou and Anhou Original Shareholders on the same date. The Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement executed by and between CU WFOE and Anhou on January 17, 2011 remains in full effect. We do not hold equity interests in our CAE. However, through the VIE Agreements with these CAE and their respective shareholders, we effectively control, and are able to derive substantially all of the economic benefits from, these CAE, which allows us to consolidate the financial results of the CAE in our financial statements.

 

On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company approved, in connection with a reclassification of 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reclassified Shares”), par value $0.00001 per share held by Mao Yi Hsiao (“Mr. Mao”) into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) on a share-for-share basis (the “Reclassification”), the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Mao and cancellation of 1,000,000 common stock held and submitted by Mr. Mao pursuant to the Reclassification.

 

Mr. Mao has extensive experience in the insurance agency and brokerage industry and has acted as the chairman of the board of Law Broker. Under the leadership of Mr. Mao, Law Broker has grown into one of the top insurance brokerage firms in Taiwan, has sustained stable growth for the past decades and generated substantial shareholder value for its stockholders. The management of the Company wanted Mr. Mao to apply his years of experience in insurance industry into the Company’s expansion and to lead its growth. As a result the Company approached Mr. Mao to discuss the possibility of Mr. Mao to play more of a managerial role and commit more time on the strategy design and operation of the Company and its subsidiaries. To ensure the consistently implementation of strategies and policies of the Company, through mutual discussion and negotiations, both the Company and Mr. Mao (and subsequently a majority of the shareholders) agree to the reclassification, pursuant to which, 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (with 1 to 10 special voting power) were issued to Mr. Mao in replacement of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock previously held by Mr. Mao. In exchange for the reclassification, Mr. Mao agreed to be engaged by the Company as its Chief Executive Officer within 6 months after July 2, 2012 or according to a timetable otherwise agreed upon. On August 8, 2014, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Mao as the Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

All 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were reclassified from the 1,000,000 shares of common stock held by Mr. Mao and no additional consideration was paid by Mr. Mao in connection with the Reclassification. The preferred stock has no material quantitative preferences over common stock, such as liquidation preferences and dividend preferences, and it specifically granted equal status to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company; while each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to ten votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.

 

On August 24, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Action Holdings Financial Limited (“AHFL”), a limited liability company (“LLC”) incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on April 30, 2012, together with its subsidiaries in Taiwan. Subsequent to the acquisition, AHFL became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

AHFL holds 65.95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Law Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“Law Enterprise”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Taiwan on January 30, 1996. As of August 24, 2012, Law Enterprise held (i) 100% of Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (“Law Broker”), a company limited by shares incorporated in Taiwan on October 9, 1992; (ii) 97.84% of Law Risk Management & Consultant Co., Ltd. (“Law Management”), a company limited by shares incorporated in Taiwan on December 5, 1987; and (iii) 96% of Law Insurance Agent Co., Ltd. (“Law Agent”), an LLC incorporated in Taiwan on June 3, 2000.

 

Pursuant to the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement between the Company and the selling shareholders of AHFL and for all of the issued and outstanding shares of AHFL, the Company was to pay NT$15 million ($500,815) on or prior to March 31, 2013 and NT$7.5 million ($250,095) subsequent to March 31, 2013 in cash in two installments, subject to terms and conditions therein.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP’). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of China United Insurance Service, Inc. and Subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s transition report on Form 10-KT for the six-month ended December 31, 2013.

 

F-7
 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China United, its subsidiaries and CAE as shown in the organization structure in Note 1 above. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).   The functional currency for our subsidiaries in Taiwan is New Taiwan Dollar (“NT$”) and for the VIEs in China is Renminbi (“RMB”).

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

Noncontrolling interest consists of direct and indirect equity interest in AHFL and its subsidiaries arising from the acquisition of AHFL by CUIS.

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation” which governs the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements.

 

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Losses attributable to the NCI in a subsidiary may exceed the NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to the NCI is attributed to those interests. The NCI shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

Management makes these estimates using the best information available when they are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

F-8
 

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 220 (“ASC 220”), “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. ASC 220 defines comprehensive income as net income and all changes to stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The consolidated financial statements were translated into United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Transaction.”  According to the standard, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates; stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Cash and Equivalents

 

For Statements of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers cash on hand, bank deposits, and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, such as commercial paper, to be cash and equivalents.

 

The Company maintains cash with banks in the PRC and Taiwan.  Cash accounts with the bank institutions in the PRC are not insured or otherwise protected.  Should any bank holding cash become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose the cash with that bank; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts. In Taiwan, a depositor has up to NT$3,000,000 insured in a bank. In Hong Kong, a depositor has up to HKD$500,000 insured in a bank. In the United States, the standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor in a bank under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company invests part of its excess cash in equity securities, money market funds and government bonds. Such investments are included in “Marketable securities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Held-to-maturity represents securities the Company has intends and has the ability to hold to maturity; trading securities represent securities bought and held primarily for sale in the near-term to generate income on short-term price differences; available-for-sale represents securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities.

 

The Company classifies the equity security investments as trading securities and reports them at FV with changes in FV recorded in “Other Income” in the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). The Company classifies bonds as available-for-sale and reports them at FV with unrealized gains and losses included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” on the equity section of the balance sheets.

 

F-9
 

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

The Company reviews its accounts receivable regularly to determine if a bad debt allowance is necessary at each reporting period end. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes the age of receivables outstanding, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the necessity of making such allowance. No allowance was deemed necessary as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment, net

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is recorded in other income at disposal. Expenditures for betterments, renewals and additions are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over a useful life of three to ten years with salvage value of 10% to 25%. Property, plant and equipment mainly consist of office furniture, computers, vehicles and leasehold improvements.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net un-discounted cash flows expected to be generated by it. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its FV.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or FV, less cost of disposal. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill arose from the acquisition of PFAL (Note 10). Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the FV of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it might be impaired, using the prescribed two-step process under US GAAP. The first step screens for potential impairment of goodwill to determine if the FV of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, while the second step measures the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, by comparing the implied FV of goodwill to its carrying value. As of September 30, 2014, there were no any indications of the impairment of goodwill that arose from the acquisition of PFAL.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is from insurance agency and brokerage services. The Company, through its subsidiaries and CAE, sells insurance products to customers, and obtains commissions from the respective insurance companies according to the terms of each insurance company service agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement between the insurance company and insured exists, services were provided, the fee for such services is fixed or determinable and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Insurance agency services are considered complete, and revenue is recognized, when an insurance policy becomes effective. The customers are entitled to a 10-day cancellation period from the date of issuance of the policies, in which customers can cancel the contract without any fees. The Company is notified of such cancellations by the insurance carriers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, policy cancellations were $83,859 and $254,107, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, policy cancellations were $0 and $47,591, respectively.

 

F-10
 

 

The Company pays commissions to its sub-agents when an insurance product is sold by the sub-agent. The Company recognizes commission revenue on a gross basis. The commissions paid by the Company to its sub-agents are recorded as cost of revenue.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in general and administrative expenses in the statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company was not subjected to income tax examinations by taxing authorities during the current or past fiscal years.  In connection with the acquisition of China entities, the Company is required to comply with the information return reporting requirements such as Foreign Bank Accounts Reporting (FBAR), Information Return on Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or U.S. Corporation owning certain foreign corporation (Under Section 6038A and 6038C of Internal Revenue Code, etc.). The Company failed to comply with such requirements for the years of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The potential penalty is estimated to be $370,000 in the event of a tax audit, which has been accrued in the three months ended December 31, 2013, and it has not been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.00001 par value. We currently have 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) outstanding as of September 30, 2014, which was classified as equity.

 

F-11
 

 

 

Section 480-10-25 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Section 480-10-05-2 classifies all of the following as examples of an obligation:

 

a. An entity incurs a conditional obligation to transfer assets by issuing (writing) a put option that would, if exercised, require the entity to repurchase its equity shares by physical settlement. (Further, an instrument that requires the issuer to settle its obligation by issuing another instrument [for example, a note payable in cash] ultimately requires settlement by a transfer of assets.)

 

b. An entity incurs a conditional obligation to transfer assets by issuing a similar contract that requires or could require net cash settlement.

 

c. An entity incurs a conditional obligation to issue its equity shares by issuing a similar contract that requires net share settlement.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock does not fall in to any of the above categories as an obligation. The preferred stock is convertible into a fixed number of common shares (one for one). Therefore, the preferred stock has been classified as equity.

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines FV, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of FV measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are reasonable estimates of FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. 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 liabilities, 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 FV.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $762,000 of the Company’s cash and equivalents held by financial institutions was insured, and the remaining balance of approximately $18.6 million was not insured. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company generally does not require collateral and does not have an allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

After acquired AHFL and its Taiwan subsidiaries, the Company has several principal insurance companies in Taiwan, for which it acts as an insurance agent. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s revenues from sale of insurance policies underwritten by these companies were:

TransGlobe Life Insurance Inc.   1,326,987    14%   1,637,204    21%

 

As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s accounts receivable from these companies were:

 

   September 30, 2014   September 30, 2013 
   Amount   % of Total Accounts Receivable   Amount   % of Total Accounts Receivable 
Farglory Life Insurance Co.,Ltd.  $886,628    23%  $729,297    29%

The Company's operations are in the PRC and Taiwan. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, foreign currency exchange and legal environments in the PRC and Taiwan, and by the state of each economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC and Taiwan, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

Operating Leases

 

Leases, where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company, that do not meet the capitalization criteria of FASB ASC Topic 840 “Leases,” are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals under operating leases are expensed on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

F-13
 

  

Segment Reporting

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” for its segment reporting. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company managed and reviewed its business as two operating segments. The business of CU WOFE and CAE in PRC was managed and reviewed as PRC segment. The business of AHFL and its subsidiaries in Taiwan was managed and reviewed as Taiwan segment.

 

ASC-280-10-50-12 states, a public entity shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds:

 

a. Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.

b. The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of either:

1. The combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss

2. The combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss.

c. Its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

 

The PRC segment does not meet any of the above quantitative thresholds and Taiwan segment is substantially all of the reported consolidated amounts. Therefore, we are not reporting these two segments separately. Note 20 disclose revenues from the two segments.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which could result in a loss to the Company which will be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgment. In assessing loss contingencies arising from legal proceedings pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may rise from such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable a material loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated loss is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies and an average exchange rate is used. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Cash from operating, investing and financing activities is net of the effect of acquisition described in Note 10.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Subtopic 810-10-05-8”, “Consolidation of VIEs,” states that a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.

 

F-14
 

 

 

Due to the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in insurance agency and brokerage businesses in China, especially those on qualifications as well as capital requirement of the investors, the Company operates its insurance agency and brokerage business in PRC primarily through Anhou, a VIE owned by seven individual shareholders, and two subsidiaries of Anhou.

 

On January 17, 2011, CU WFOE and Anhou and Anhou Original Shareholders (as defined in Note1) entered into the Old VIE Agreements (as defined in Note1) which included:

 

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement (“EBCA” or the “Agreement”) through which: (1) CU WFOE has the right to provide Anhou with complete technical support, business support and related consulting services during the term of this Agreement; (2) Anhou agrees to accept all the consultations and services provided by CU WFOE. Anhou further agrees that unless with CU WFOE's prior written consent, during the term of this Agreement, Anhou shall not directly or indirectly accept the same or any similar consultations and/or services provided by any third party and shall not establish similar cooperation relationship with any third party regarding the matters contemplated by this Agreement; (3) Anhou shall pay CU WFOE fees equal to 90% of the net income of Anhou, and the payment is quarterly, and (4) CU WFOE retains all exclusive and proprietary rights and interests in all rights, ownership, interests and intellectual properties arising out of or created during the performance of this Agreement.

 

The term of this Agreement is 10 years. Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, both CU WFOE and Anhou shall review this Agreement on an annual basis to determine whether to amend or supplement the provisions. The term of this Agreement may be extended if confirmed in writing by CU WFOE prior to the expiration thereof. The extended term shall be determined by CU WFOE, and Anhou shall accept such extended term unconditionally.

 

During the term of this Agreement, unless CU WFOE commits gross negligence, or a fraudulent act, against Anhou, Anhou may not terminate this Agreement. Nevertheless, CU WFOE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon giving 30 days prior written notice to Anhou at any time.

 

Power of Attorney under which each shareholder of Anhou executed an irrevocable power of attorney to authorize CU WFOE to act on behalf of the shareholder to exercise all of his/her rights as equity owner of Anhou, including without limitation to: (1) attend shareholders' meetings of Anhou; (2) exercise all the shareholder's rights and shareholder's voting rights that he/she is entitled to under the laws of the PRC and Anhou's Articles of Association, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of the shareholder’s shareholding in part or in whole, and (3) designate and appoint on behalf of the shareholder the legal representative, the director, supervisor, the chief executive officer and other senior management members of Anhou.

 

Option Agreement under which the shareholders of Anhou irrevocably granted CU WFOE or its designated person an exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire, at any time, the entire portion of Anhou’s equity interest held by each shareholder of Anhou, or any portion thereof, to the extent permitted by PRC law.  The purchase price for the shareholders’ equity interests in Anhou shall be the lower of (i) RMB1 ($0.16) and (ii) the lowest price allowed by relevant laws and regulations.   If appraisal is required by the laws of PRC when CU WFOE exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option (as defined in the Option Agreement), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and based on the appraisal result make necessary adjustment to the Equity Interest Purchase Price (as defined in the Option Agreement) so that it complies with any and all then applicable laws of the PRC. The term of this Agreement is 10 years, and may be renewed at CU WFOE's election.

 

 

F-15
 

 

 

Share Pledge Agreement under which the owners of Anhou pledged their equity interests in Anhou to CU WFOE to guarantee Anhou’s performance of its obligations under the EBCA. Pursuant to this agreement, if Anhou fails to pay the exclusive consulting or service fees in accordance with the EBCA, CU WFOE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to dispose of the owners of Anhou’s equity interests in Anhou. This Agreement shall be continuously valid until all payments due under the EBCA have been repaid by Anhou or its subsidiaries.

 

As a result of the capital increase and the share transfer described in Note1, on October 24, 2013, CU WFOE, Anhou and Anhou Existing Shareholders (as defined in Note1) entered into a series of variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”), including Power of Attorneys, Exclusive Option Agreements, Share Pledge Agreements, in the same form as the previous Old VIE Agreements, other than the change of shareholder names and their respective shareholdings. The Old VIE Agreements were terminated by and among CU WFOE, Anhou and Anhou Original Shareholders on the same date. The EBCA executed by and between CU WFOE and Anhou on January 17, 2011 remains in full effect.

 

As a result of the agreements among CU WFOE, the shareholders of Anhou and Anhou, CU WFOE is considered the primary beneficiary of Anhou, CU WFOE has effective control over Anhou; therefore, CU WFOE consolidates the results of operations of Anhou and its subsidiaries. Accordingly the results of operations, assets and liabilities of Anhou and its subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements from the earliest period presented. However, the VIE is monitored by the Company to determine if any events have occurred that could cause its primary beneficiary status to change. These events include:

 

  a. The legal entity's governing documents or contractual arrangements are changed in a manner that changes the characteristics or adequacy of the legal entity's equity investment at risk.

 

  b. The equity investment or some part thereof is returned to the equity investors, and other interests become exposed to expected losses of the legal entity.

 

  c. The legal entity undertakes additional activities or acquires additional assets, beyond those anticipated at the later of the inception of the entity or the latest reconsideration event, that increase the entity's expected losses.

 

  d. The legal entity receives an additional equity investment that is at risk, or the legal entity curtails or modifies its activities in a way that decreases its expected losses.

 

The Company reviews the VIE’s status on an annual basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, no event including a-d above took place that would change the Company’s primary beneficiary status.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income (loss) or stockholders’ equity.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. We do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

 

F-16
 

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” This standard provides guidance regarding when an unrecognized tax benefit should be classified as a reduction to a deferred tax asset or when it should be classified as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASU 2-14-09”). ASU 2-14-09 amends revenue recognition principles and provides a single set of criteria for revenue recognition among all industries. This new standard provides a five step framework whereby revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to a customer at amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires enhanced disclosure pertaining to revenue recognition in both interim and annual periods. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2014-09 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

On June 10, 2013, AHFL entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Alliance Agreement”) with AIA International Limited Taiwan Branch (“AIATW”). The purpose of the Alliance Agreement is to promote life insurance products provided by AIATW within Taiwan by insurance agencies or brokerage companies affiliated with AHFL or CUIS. The term of the Alliance Agreement is from April 15, 2013 to August 31, 2018. Pursuance to the terms of the Alliance Agreement, AIATW paid AHFL the Execution Fee of $8,326,700 (NT$250,000,000, including the tax of NT$11,904,762), which is to be recorded as revenue upon fulfilling sales targets and the 13-month persistency ratio, as defined, over the next five years. The Execution Fee may be required to be recalculated if certain performance targets are not met by AHFL. On September 30, 2014, AHFL entered into a Strategic Alliance Supplemental Agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”) with AIATW. In the Supplemental Agreement, the performance targets and the provision about refunding the Execution Fee when the performance targets are not met were revised.

NOTE 15 – EQUITY

 

Reserves

 

According to Taiwan accounting rules and corporation regulations, the company’s subsidiaries in Taiwan must appropriate 10% of net income to statutory reserves until the accumulated reserve hits registered capital. The reserve can be 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, with a limitation that the reserve left is not less than 25% of the registered capital after converting to share capital.

 

Pursuant to the PRC regulations, the Company’s Consolidated Affiliated Entities (“CAE”) are required to transfer 10% of their net profit, as determined under the PRC accounting regulations, to a Statutory Common Reserve Fund (“Reserve Fund”). Appropriation to the Reserve Fund may cease when the fund equals 50% of a company’s registered capital or when a company has accumulated losses. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to shareholders. The Company’s CAE did not appropriate such reserve as they have accumulated losses.

NOTE 16– INCOME TAX

 

CU WFOE and the CAE in the PRC are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriated adjustments. According to the requirement of local tax authorities, the taxable income of Jiangsu Law is deemed as 10% of total revenue, instead of the income before income tax. The tax rate of Jiangsu Law is also 25%.

 

According to Chinese tax regulations by the Chinese tax authorities effective January 1, 2008, commissions paid to sub-agents in excess of 5% of the commission revenue were not tax deductible. According to China State Administration of Taxation #15 Announcement in 2012, effective from 2011, such commissions can be fully deducted. Also, such tax payable over three years can be reversed.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries in Taiwan are governed by the Income Tax Law of Taiwan, and are generally subject to tax at 17% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate adjustments. In the meanwhile, Income Tax Law of Taiwan provides that a company is taxed at additional 10% on any undistributed earnings to its shareholders. In June 2014, Law Enterprises decided not to distribute its earnings accumulated as of December 31, 2013. Accordingly, NT$18,903,349, approximately $626,406, of additional tax was accrued, which is stated as “income tax on undistributed earnings” on the income tax rate reconciliation tables below. 

The balance of income tax payable as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is mainly the income tax accrued by the CAE for the un-deductible commission paid to sub-agents before 2011 and is due upon written request of the local tax bureau.

 

The following table reconciles the US statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

   September 30, 2014   September 30, 2013 
US statutory rate   34%   34%
Tax rate difference   (40)%   (19)%
Change in tax status   1%   (6)%

The following table reconciles the US statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

NOTE 21 – LOAN TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

Anhou Registered Capital Increase

 

On April 27, 2013, China Insurance Regulatory Commission mandated any insurance agency have a minimum registered capital requirement of RMB50 million (approximately $ 8 million). At the time, Anhou, a professional insurance agency with a PRC nationwide license, had a registered capital of RMB10 million (approximately $ 1.6 million). To better implement its expansion strategies, Anhou intends to increase its registered capital to RMB50 million so that it can set up new branches in any province beyond its current operations in Mainland China.

 

Due to certain restriction on direct foreign investment in insurance agency business under current PRC legal requirements, Anhou sought investments from certain Investor Borrowers who in turn needed funds through individual loans.

 

On June 9, 2013, AHFL entered into a Loan Agreement with ZLI Holdings, whereby AHFL agreed to provide a loan to ZLI Holdings of RMB40 million ($6,522,944). The term for such loan is 10 years which may be extended upon the agreement of the parties. The loan was remitted to ZLI Holdings on August 30, 2013. In August 2013, ZLI Holdings entered into three loan agreements (“Investor Loan Agreements”) with the following independent third parties, collectively, the Investor Borrowers:

 

1.Able Capital Holding Co., Ltd., a limited liability company established and registered in Hong Kong (RMB29,500,000 ($4,817,896))
2.Mr. Chen Li, PRC citizen (RMB3,000,000 ($489,949))
3.Ms. Yue Jing, PRC citizen (RMB7,500,000 ($1,224,871))

 

The term for the above loans is 10 years which may be extended upon the agreement of the parties. Pursuant to the Investor Loan Agreements, each of the Investor Borrowers entered into a binding VIE agreement with Anhou, the WFOE and certain existing shareholders of Anhou. The proceeds received from the said loans by the Investor Borrowers were solely used to increase the registered capital of Anhou. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the loan was offset against equity.

 

On October 20, 2013, the investor borrowers increased Anhou’s registered capital by RMB 40 million ($6,522,944).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read this Management’s Discussion and Analysis in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Notes.

 

Overview

 

China United Insurance Service, Inc. (“China United”, ”CUIS” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation organized on June 4, 2010 by Mao Yi Hsiao, a Taiwanese citizen, as a listing vehicle for ZLI Holdings Limited (“CU Hong Kong”) to be quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”). CU Hong Kong, a wholly owned Hong Kong-based subsidiary of China United, was founded by China United on July 12, 2010 under Hong Kong laws. On October 20, 2010, CU Hong Kong founded a wholly foreign owned enterprise, Zhengzhou Zhonglian Hengfu Business Consulting Co., Ltd. (“CU WFOE”) in Henan province in the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”).

 

On January 16, 2011, China United issued 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, to several non US persons for $300,000 in cash invested in the Company’s subsidiaries.  The issuance was made pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The consideration was paid as of June 30, 2012. On January 28, 2011, the Company increased the number of authorized shares from 30,000,000 shares of common stock to 100,000,000 shares of common and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

Law Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (“Anhou”, formerly known as Zhengzhou Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd.) was founded in Henan province of the PRC on October 9, 2003. Anhou provides insurance agency services in the PRC.

 

On November 26, 2013, Anhou changed its name into Law Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. and obtained its new business license. On December 18, 2013, Anhou obtained its new Professional Insurance Agency License from local bureau of China Insurance Regulatory Commission (“CIRC”) which reflects its new name. On February 26, 2014, Anhou completed the registration of the change of its registered address to Room 1906-1910, No. 215 Jiangdong Middle Road, Jianye District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province with the local AIC of Jiangsu Province. The new business license was issued to Anhou on February 26, 2014. Anhou obtained the Professional Insurance Agency License issued by Jiangsu Bureau of CIRC on April 21, 2014. Anhou is in the process to complete the registration of the share pledge with local AIC. Anhou’s previous headquarters located at Building 4K, Hesheng Plaza, No. 26 Yousheng South Road, Jinshui District, Zhengzhou, Henan province, has been registered as the Henan branch office of Anhou and it obtained the Professional Insurance Agency License issued by Henan Bureau of CIRC on January 3, 2014 and the business license issued by local AIC on January 9, 2014.

 

On September 26, 2013, several new PRC individual investors, namely Wang Yanyan, Chen Zhaohui, Yue Jing, Hou Weizhe, Zhang Yong, Chen Li (“Anhou New Investors”) and the original shareholders of Anhou, namely, Zhu Shuqin, Wei Qun, Fang Qunlei and Chen Yanxia (“Anhou Original Shareholders”) entered into a shareholders resolution of Anhou, pursuant to which, Anhou Original Shareholders and Anhou New Investors agreed to increase the registered capital of Anhou to RMB50 million (approximately $ 8 million), among which, Wang Yanyan would invest RMB10 million ($1,633,179), accounting for 20%, Chen Zhaohui would invest RMB10 million ($1,633,179), accounting for 20%, Yue Jing would invest RMB7.5 million ($1,224,871), accounting for 15%, Hou Weizhe would invest RMB5 million ($816,589), accounting for 10%, Zhang Yong would invest RMB4.5 million ($734,930), accounting for 9%, and Chen Li would invest RMB3 million ($489,949), accounting for 6%, of the registered capital of Anhou.

 

Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in the insurance agency businesses in China, particularly those based on qualifications as well as capital requirements of the investors, Able Capital Holding Co., Ltd., a limited liability company established and registered in Hong Kong, delegated four PRC individuals, namely Wang Yanyan, Chen Zhaohui, Hou Weizhe and Zhang Yong, to invest in Anhou on its behalf.

On October 24, 2013, Anhou completed the registration with local Administration Industry and Commerce (“AIC”) on the above-mentioned capital increase. The new business license was issued to Anhou on October 25, 2013.

 

The registered capital increase of Anhou is in response to the recent promulgations of certain regulations by China Insurance Regulatory Commission (“CIRC”). On April 27, 2013, CIRC issued the Decision on Revising the Provisions of the Supervision and Administration of Specialized Insurance Agencies (the “Decision on Revising the Agency Provisions”), pursuant to which, CIRC has mandated any insurance agency established subsequent to the Decision on Revising the Agency Provisions to meet a minimum registered capital requirement of RMB50 million (approximately $ 8 million). On May 16, 2013, CIRC issued Notice for Further Clarification on Related Issues of Access to Professional Insurance Intermediary Market (the “Notice”), pursuant to which, professional insurance agencies established prior to the issuance of the Decision on Revising the Agency Provisions, with registered capital less than RMB50 million (approximately $ 8 million), can continuous operation of their existing business within the provinces where they have the registered office or branch office, but shall not set up any new branches in any province where they do not have the registered office or any branch office.

 

Prior to the capital increase, Anhou, a professional insurance agency with a PRC nationwide license, has a registered capital in the amount of RMB10 million (approximately $1.6 million). The branch offices of Anhou currently are all in Henan province. To better implement its expansion strategies, Anhou increased its registered capital to RMB50 million (approximately $ 8 million) to meet the requirement of CIRC so that it can set up new branches in any province beyond its current operations in Mainland China.

 

On October 24, 2013, Anhou Original Shareholders entered into share transfer agreements (the “Share Transfer Agreements”) with Hu Changrong, a PRC citizen (“Mr. Hu” together with Anhou New Investors, “Anhou Existing Shareholders”), respectively. Under the Share Transfer Agreements, Anhou Original Shareholders transferred all of their equity interests in Anhou to Mr. Hu for an aggregate transfer price of RMB10 million ($1,633,178). Mr. Hu is currently the legal representative and the sole director of Anhou.

 

On October 24, 2013, Anhou completed the share transfer registration with the local AIC. At the end of October 2013, Anhou completed its filing with local CIRC with respect to its previously-conducted share transfer and capital increase.

 

Sichuan Kangzhuang Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Kangzhuang”) was founded on September 4, 2006 in Sichuan province in the PRC and provides insurance agency services in the PRC.  On August 23, 2010, at Sichuan Kangzhuang’s general meeting of shareholders, its shareholders voted to sell their shares to Anhou for RMB532,622 ($78,318). On September 6, 2010, the equity transfer agreements were signed between Anhou and each shareholder of Sichuan Kangzhuang.

 

Jiangsu Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu Law”) was founded on September 19, 2005 in Jiangsu Province in the PRC and provides insurance brokerage services in the PRC. On August 12, 2010, at Jiangsu Law’s general meeting of shareholders, its shareholders voted to sell their shares to Anhou for RMB518,000 ($75,475) and Anhou increased Jiangsu Law’s paid-in capital to RMB10,000,000 ($1,355,150) from RMB5,180,000 ($625,113) on January 18, 2011 to meet the PRC paid-in capital requirements for insurance brokerage companies. On September 28, 2010, the equity transfer agreements were signed between Anhou and each shareholder of Jiangsu Law.

 

Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in insurance agency and brokerage businesses in China, especially those on qualifications and capital requirements of the investors, we operate our business primarily through our Consolidated Affiliated Entities (“CAE”) in China. On January 17, 2011, CU WFOE and Anhou and Anhou Original Shareholders entered into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the “Old VIE Agreements”) pursuant to which CU WFOE has executed effective control over Anhou through these contractual arrangements. As a result of the capital increase and the share transfer described above, on October 24, 2013, CU WFOE, Anhou and Anhou Existing Shareholders entered into a series of variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”), including Power of Attorneys, Exclusive Option Agreements, Share Pledge Agreements, in the same form as the previous Old VIE Agreements, other than the change of shareholder names and their respective shareholdings. The Old VIE Agreements were terminated by and among CU WFOE, Anhou and Anhou Original Shareholders on the same date. The Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement executed by and between CU WFOE and Anhou on January 17, 2011 remains in full effect. We do not hold equity interests in our CAE. However, through the VIE Agreements with these CAE and their respective shareholders, we effectively control, and are able to derive substantially all of the economic benefits from, these CAE.

Our CAE in China are VIE through which part of our insurance services are operated. It is through the VIE Agreements that we have effective control of the CAE, which allows us to consolidate the financial results of the CAE in our financial statements.  If Anhou and its shareholders fail to perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements, we could be limited in our ability to enforce the VIE Agreements that give us effective control. Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain effective control of our CAE, we would not be able to continue to consolidate the CAE’s financial results with our financial results. For more information see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”

 

On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company approved, in connection with a reclassification of 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reclassified Shares”), par value $0.00001 per share held by Mao Yi Hsiao (“Mr. Mao”) into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) on a share-for-share basis (the “Reclassification”), the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Mao and cancellation of 1,000,000 common stock held and submitted by Mr. Mao pursuant to the Reclassification.

 

Mr. Mao has extensive experience in the insurance agency and brokerage industry and has acted as the chairman of the board of Law Broker. Under the leadership of Mr. Mao, Law Broker has grown into one of the top insurance brokerage firms in Taiwan, has sustained stable growth for the past decades and generated substantial shareholder value for its stockholders. The management of the Company wanted Mr. Mao to apply his years of experience in insurance industry into the Company’s expansion and to lead its growth. As a result the Company approached Mr. Mao to discuss the possibility of Mr. Mao to play more of a managerial role and commit more time on the strategy design and operation of the Company and its subsidiaries. To ensure the consistently implementation of strategies and policies of the Company, through mutual discussion and negotiations, both the Company and Mr. Mao (and subsequently a majority of the shareholders) agreed to the reclassification, pursuant to which, 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (with 1 to 10 special voting power) were issued to Mr. Mao in replacement of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock previously held by Mr. Mao. In exchange for the reclassification, Mr. Mao agreed to be engaged by the Company as its Chief Executive Officer within 6 months after July 2, 2012 or according to a timetable otherwise agreed upon. On August 8, 2014, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Mao as the Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

 

All 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were reclassified from the 1,000,000 shares of common stock held by Mr. Mao and no additional consideration was paid by Mr. Mao in connection with the Reclassification. The preferred stock has no material quantitative preferences over common stock, such as liquidation preferences and dividend preferences, and it specifically granted equal status to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company; while each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to ten votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.

 

On August 24, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Action Holdings Financial Limited (“AHFL”), a limited liability company (“LLC”) incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on April 30, 2012, together with its subsidiaries in Taiwan. Subsequent to the acquisition, AHFL became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.

AHFL holds 65.95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Law Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“Law Enterprise”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Taiwan on January 30, 1996. Law Enterprise holds (i) 100% Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (“Law Broker”), a company limited by shares incorporated in Taiwan on October 9, 1992; (ii) 97.84% of Law Risk Management & Consultant Co., Ltd. (“Law Management”), a company limited by shares incorporated in Taiwan on December 5, 1987; and (iii) 96% of Law Insurance Agent Co., Ltd. (“Law Agent” collectively with “Law Enterprise”, “Law Broker” and “Law Agent”, the “Taiwan Subsidiaries”, each a “Taiwan Subsidiary”), a LLC incorporated in Taiwan on June 3, 2000.

 

Law Broker primarily engages in insurance brokerage and insurance agency service business across Taiwan, while Law Management and Law Agent are not active. We operate our Taiwan business primarily through Law Broker.

 

On April 23, 2014, AHFL entered into a capital increase agreement (“Agreement”) with Wong Chun Kwok Johnny (“Mr Wong”), the owner of Prime Financial Asia Ltd (PFAL) which is a re-insurance broker company resided in Hong Kong. Upon the Agreement, Mr Wong would increase PFAL’s registered capital from HK$500,000 to HK$1,47,000, and AHFL would contribute HK$1,530,000 to PFAL’s registered capital. Upon the completion of capital increase by both parties, Mr. Wong and AHFL would own 49% and 51% of PFAL’s equity interest, respectively. The transaction was completed on April 30, 2014.

 

As of September 30, 2014, through our CAE, we had two insurance agencies, one brokerage and 39 service outlets with 886 full-time sales professionals and 90 administrative staff in Henan, Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces in China. In addition, through Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd., we had 27 sales and service outlets (including the headquarters) with 1628 full-time sales professionals, 393 part-time sales professionals and 145 administrative staff in Taiwan.

 

On January 17 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year end to December 31 from June 30.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available when they are made.  However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting the Company’s financial statements; the Company believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments The Company has not made any material changes in the methodology used in these accounting polices during the past two years.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China United, its subsidiaries and CAE as shown in the organization structure in Note 1 above. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Accounts receivable

 

The Company reviews its accounts receivable regularly to determine if a bad debt allowance is necessary at each reporting period end. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes the age of receivables outstanding, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the necessity of making such allowance. No allowance was deemed necessary as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is from insurance agency and brokerage services. The Company, through its subsidiaries and CAEs, sells insurance products to customers, and obtains commissions from the respective insurance companies according to the terms of each insurance company service agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement between the insurance company and insured exists, services were provided, the fee for such services is fixed or determinable and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Insurance agency services are considered complete, and revenue is recognized, when an insurance policy becomes effective. The customers are entitled to a 10-day cancellation period from the date of issuance of the policies, in which customers can cancel the contract without any fees. The Company is notified of such cancellations by the insurance carriers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, policy cancellations were $83,859 and $254,107, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, policy cancellations were $0 and $47,591, respectively.

 

The Company pays commissions to its sub-agents when an insurance product is sold by the sub-agent. The Company recognizes commission revenue on a gross basis. The commissions paid by the Company to its sub-agents are recorded as cost of revenue.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in general and administrative expenses in the statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company was not subjected to income tax examinations by taxing authorities during the current or past fiscal years.  In connection with the acquisition of China entities, the Company is required to comply with the information return reporting requirements such as Foreign Bank Accounts Reporting (FBAR), Information Return on Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or U.S. Corporation owning certain foreign corporation (Under Section 6038A and 6038C of Internal Revenue Code, etc.). The Company failed to comply with such requirements for the years of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The potential penalty is estimated to be $370,000, which has been accrued in the three months ended December 31, 2013, and it has not been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by it. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its FV.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or FV, less cost of disposal. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill arose from the acquisition of Sichuan Kangzhuang and PFAL. Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the FV of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it might be impaired, using the prescribed two-step process under US GAAP. The first step screens for potential impairment of goodwill to determine if the FV of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, while the second step measures the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, by comparing the implied FV of goodwill to its carrying value. Sichuan Kangzhuang has been suffering net loss since the acquisition, indicating the impairment of goodwill. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the goodwill that arose from the acquisition of Sichuan Kangzhuang was fully impaired. Accordingly, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $122,250 in the three months ended December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, there were no any indications of the impairment of goodwill that arose from the acquisition of PFAL.

 

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.00001 par value. We currently have 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) outstanding as of September 30, 2014, which was classified as equity.

 

Section 480-10-25 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Section 480-10-05-2 classifies all of the following as examples of an obligation:

 

a. An entity incurs a conditional obligation to transfer assets by issuing (writing) a put option that would, if exercised, require the entity to repurchase its equity shares by physical settlement. (Further, an instrument that requires the issuer to settle its obligation by issuing another instrument [for example, a note payable in cash] ultimately requires settlement by a transfer of assets.)

 

b. An entity incurs a conditional obligation to transfer assets by issuing a similar contract that requires or could require net cash settlement.

 

c. An entity incurs a conditional obligation to issue its equity shares by issuing a similar contract that requires net share settlement.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock does not fall into any of the above categories as an obligation. The preferred stock is convertible in to a fixed number of common shares (one for one). Therefore, the preferred stock has been classified as equity.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” for its segment reporting. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company managed and reviewed its business as two operating segments. The business of CU WOFE and CAE in PRC was managed and reviewed as PRC segment. The business of AHFL and its subsidiaries in Taiwan was managed and reviewed as Taiwan segment.

 

ASC-280-10-50-12 states, a public entity shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds:

 

a. Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.

b. The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of either:

1. The combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss

2. The combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss.

c. Its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

 

The PRC segment does not meet any of the above quantitative thresholds and Taiwan segment is substantially all of the reported consolidated amounts. Therefore, we are not reporting these two segments separately.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. We do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” This standard provides guidance regarding when an unrecognized tax benefit should be classified as a reduction to a deferred tax asset or when it should be classified as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASU 2-14-09”). ASU 2-14-09 amends revenue recognition principles and provides a single set of criteria for revenue recognition among all industries. This new standard provides a five step framework whereby revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to a customer at amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires enhanced disclosure pertaining to revenue recognition in both interim and annual periods. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2014-09 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

Revenues

 

As a distributor of insurance products, we derive our revenue primarily from commissions and fees paid by insurance companies, typically calculated as a percentage of premiums paid by our customers to the insurance companies. We generate revenue primarily through our sales force, which consists of individual sales agents in our distribution and service network. The acquisition of AHFL enabled us to reach the untapped market in Taiwan. For three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the revenue generated respectively from Taiwan and PRC is as follows:

 

   Three months ended September 30,

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, 92.36% and 7.64% of our revenues in our consolidated financial statements were derived from our Taiwan Subsidiaries and CAE, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, 92.91% and 7.09% of our revenues in our consolidated financial statements were derived from our Taiwan subsidiaries and CAE, respectively.

a)After we entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with AIA International Limited Taiwan Branch (“AIATW”) in June 2013, the sales of insurance products of AIATW increased stably.
b)The sales of the products of Shin Kong Life Insurance Co., Ltd. continue to increase because sub-agents were stimulated by the notice that the Company will stop selling those products from August 2014. In addition, according to the new regulation pronounced by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C.(Taiwan), the Company has to stop selling four insurance products of Farglory Life Insurance Co.,Ltd. and eight insurance products of Fubon Life Insurance Co., Ltd. from the middle of September 2014. Similarly, the sales of sub-agents for these products increased in July and August.

 

Cost of revenue and gross profit

 

The cost of revenue mainly consists of commissions paid to our sales agents. Therefore, generally, the cost of revenue changed with the same direction of change in the revenue. However, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, the cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $18,665 or 0.3%. This is because the Company decided to grant several kinds of bonus to the sub-agents, including special allowance, high-performance awards, practicing bonus, etc. in the three months ended September 30, 2013, while in 2014 such bonuses and awards were granted in the three months ended June 30.

 

The gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $2,045,394 or 116%, to $3,810,379, compared to $1,764,985 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The gross profit ratio increased to 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was mainly because of the change in the bonus and awards granted to the sub-agents mentioned above.

 

Selling expenses

 

Selling expenses mainly occurred in Law Broker, representing the expense for marketing promotion. The selling expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $657,748 or 63%, to $1,703,365 compared to $1,045,617 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase is mainly due to the advertizing expense spent in publicity of the company’s brand.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

The general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses principally comprise of salaries and benefits for our administrative staff, office rental expenses, travel expenses, depreciation and amortization, entertainment expenses, and professional service fees to the auditor and attorney.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, G&A expenses were $3,114,005, increased by $788,870, or 34%, compared with $2,325,135 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which mainly due to the rate of the business tax directly related to sales in Taiwan Subsidiaries increased from 2% to 5% from July 2014. In addition, the G&A expense increased in Anhou due to the relocation expense of moving the Company’s headquarter to Nanjing and setup expense of opening an outlet in Yunnan by Anhou.

Net other income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $212,360 and $148,752, respectively which mainly consist of interest income, gain (loss) on change of fair value of marketable securities and rental income of sub-leased spare offices and garage.

Intercompany Loan and Loans to Unrelated Third Parties

 

On April 27, 2013, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (“CIRC”) issued the Decision on Revising the Provisions of the Supervision and Administration of Specialized Insurance Agencies (the “Decision on Revising the Agency Provisions”), pursuant to which, CIRC mandated any insurance agency established subsequent to the Decision on Revising the Agency Provisions to meet a minimum registered capital requirement of RMB50 million (approximately $ 8 million). On May 16, 2013, CIRC issued Notice for Further Clarification on Related Issues of Access to Professional Insurance Intermediary Market (the “Notice”), pursuant to which, professional insurance agencies established prior to the issuance of the Decision on Revising the Agency Provisions, with registered capital less than RMB50 million (approximately $8 million) can continue to operate its existing business within the provinces where they have a registered office or branch office, but shall not set up any new branches in any provinces where it has no registered office or a branch office.

 

Anhou, a professional insurance agency with a PRC nationwide license, used to have a registered capital of RMB10 million (approximately $1.6 million). The branch offices of Anhou currently are all in Henan province. To better implement its expansion strategies, Anhou intended to increase its registered capital to RMB50 million (approximately $8 million) to meet the requirement of CIRC so that it can set up new branches in any province beyond its current operations in Mainland China.

 

Due to certain restrictions on direct foreign investment in insurance agency business under current PRC legal regime, Anhou has sought certain investments made by the Investor Borrowers and they may need funds through individual loans. Upon the completion of the contemplated increase of registered capital of Anhou, each Investor Borrower shall, or cause their designated persons to, enter into the Variable Interest Entities Agreement with CU WFOE, Anhou and other parties so as to consolidate any additional VIE interest generated from the said registered capital increase into the Company.

 

On June 9, 2013, AHFL entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Company Loan Agreement”) with CU Hong Kong.

 

Under the Company Loan Agreement, AHFL agreed to provide a loan to the CU Hong Kong with the principal amount equal to the US Dollar equivalent of RMB40,000,000 ($6,522,944). The term for such was ten years which could be extended upon the agreement of the parties. The amount of such loan was remitted to the account of CU Hong Kong on August 30, 2013.

 

In August 2013, the CU Hong Kong entered into several Loan Agreements (collectively, the “Investor Loan Agreements”) with the following unrelated parties: Able Capital Holding Co., Ltd., a limited liability company established and registered in Hong Kong, Mr. Chen Li and Ms. Yue Jing, both PRC citizens (collectively, the “Investor Borrowers”).

 

Under the Investor Loan Agreements, the Investor Borrowers loaned cash from CU Hong Kong for their investment in Anhou and CU Hong Kong agreed to provide certain loans to each of the Investor Borrowers with an aggregate principal amount equal to the US Dollar equivalent of RMB40,000,000 ($6,522,944). The term for such loans was ten years which could be extended upon the agreement of the parties. Pursuant to the Investor Loan Agreements, each of the Investor Borrowers covenants to enter into certain Variable Interest Entities Agreements with Anhou, CU WFOE and certain existing shareholders of Anhou. The proceeds received from the said loans by the Investor Borrowers shall be solely used to increase the registered capital of Anhou, and CU Hong Kong may determine the repayment methods including transferring of the Investor Borrowers’ corresponding registered capital in Anhou or through other manner as full payment of the loans subject to terms and conditions therein in the event that the Investor Borrowers fails to repay the loan in currency to CU Hong Kong.

 

The specific amounts loaned to the Investor Borrowers were as follows:

 

Able Capital Holding Co., Ltd.: RMB29,500,000 ($4,817,896)

Mr. Chen: RMB3,000,000 ($489,949)

18
 

Ms. Yue: RMB7,500,000 ($1,224,871)

 

 

On October 20, 2013, the Investor Borrowers, through certain nominees, increased Anhou’s registered capital by RMB 40 million ($6,522,944).

 

On a going forward basis, the Company’s primary requirements for cash over the next 12 months consist of:

 

· providing insurance agency services to its existing clients in its existing branches;
· developing new clients;
· promoting sales activities;
· opening more branches in China; and
