REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
China Holdings, Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
78365 Hwy 111 Ste 382
La Quinta, CA 92253
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of China Holdings, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of income and changes in member’s equity, and cash flows for the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Holdings, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, the Company faces competition from existing companies with considerably more financial resources and business connections. In the event that Company fails to meet the anticipated levels of performance there is significant doubt that the Company will be able to meet the debt obligations related to the non public offering. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

CHINA HOLDINGS, INC. (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of t he company for the respective periods being presented.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.
Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are:
| |
| Estimated |
| Useful Lives |
Office Equipment | 5-10 years |
Copier | 5-7 years |
Vehicles | 5-10 years |
For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system. For audit purposes, depreciation is computed under the straight-line method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and has no operations to date. The Company currently does not have a means for generating revenue. Revenue and Cost Recognition procedures will be implemented based on the type of company acquired in a merger or acquisition.
Cost of Goods Sold
Since the Company is still in the development state formal application of certain procedures have not been implemented. Generally, job costs include all direct materials, and labor costs and those indirect costs related to development and maintenance of the website. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. However, Cost of Goods Sold procedures will be dependent on the industry that the identified merger or acquisition candidate is in.
Advertising
Advertising expenses related to specific jobs are allocated and classified as costs of goods sold. Advertising expenses not related to specific jobs are recorded as general and administrative expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on China Holdings, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. China Holdings, Inc.’s financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 (SFAS No. 158), which amends SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). Post application of SFAS 158, an employer should continue to apply the provision in statements 87, 88, and 106 in measuring plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic benefit cost. SFAS 158 requires amounts to be recognized as the funded status of benefit plan, which is, the diffrence between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation. SFAS 158 further requires recognition of gains/losses and prior services costs or credits not recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 87 or SFAS No. 106. Additionally, the measurement date is to be the date of the employer's fiscal year-end. SFAS No. 158 requires disclosure in the financial statements effects from delayed recognition of gains/losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations. SFAS No. 158 is effec tive for years ending after December 15, 2007 for employers with publicly traded equity securities and as of the end of teh fiscal year ended after June 15, 2008 for employers without publicly traded equity securities. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 158 to have material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2008, the FASB issued statement No. 159 (FASB No. 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendement of FASB Statement No. 115. FASB No. 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items as fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of FASB No. 159 become effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We do not expect that the adoption of FASB No. 159 will have material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS 165, "Subsequent Events". This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). FAS 165 requires an entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15,2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on the company's financial condition or results of operation.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 166 "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets" an amendment of FAS 140. FAS 140 is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a trasnfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows: and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after Novemeber 15, 2009. The company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to have an impact on the company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS issued 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)". FAS 167 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FAS 166, and (2) consituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interperation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and sueful information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reproting period that begins afterh Novemeber 15, 2009. The company does not expect the adoption of FAS 167 to have an impact on the company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of Securities and Exchange Commision (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.
On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on the company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
None of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be applicable to the Company’s future financial reporting.
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Management expects to seek potential business opportunity from all known sources but will rely principally on personal contacts of its officers and directors as well as indirect associations between them and other business and professional people. It is not presently anticipated that the Company will engage professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations. Management, while not especially experienced in matters relating to the new business of the Company, will rely upon their own efforts and, to a much lesser extent, the efforts of the Company’s shareholders, in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company.
The officers and directors of the company hae paid all expenses related to the activities of seeking other business oportunities and performing all functions necessary for the required SEC filings for this company with the understanding that these expenses will not be reimbursed by the company due to the fact that this is not the only company they are performing these services for.
NOTE C – INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method; under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Deferred taxes will be provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.

Due to the inherent uncertainty in forecasts and future events and operating results, the Company has provided for a valuation allowance in an amount equal to gross deferred tax assets resulting in no net deferred tax assets or liabilities for the periods audited.
NOTE D – NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The weighted –average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per share. Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of share of common stock of Three Million One Hundred Ninety Thousand Four Hundred (3,190,400) outstanding in the development period ending December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of Dec. 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), who concluded, that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of Dec. 31, 2008.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is also responsible for establishing ICFR as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the 1934 Act. Our ICFR are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our ICFR are expected to include those policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:
(i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
(ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
(iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect of financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
As of Dec. 31, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of our ICFR based on the criteria for effective ICFR established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments by smaller reporting companies and non-accelerated filers.
Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report,
such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of Dec. 31, 2008 and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of Dec. 31, 2008:
6
(1)
Lack of an independent audit committee. Although we have an audit committee it is not comprised solely of independent directors. We may establish an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors when we have sufficient capital resources and working capital to attract qualified independent directors and to maintain such a committee.
(2)
Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations. The relatively small number of people who are responsible for bookkeeping functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the ultimate identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews which may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(3)
Insufficient number of independent directors. At the present time, our Board of Directors does not consist of a majority of independent directors, a factor that is counter to corporate governance practices as set forth by the rules of various stock exchanges.
Our management determined that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses. Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2008, fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
