Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-Kand any information incorporated herein by referencecontains “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry andinvolve a number of risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they were to materialize or if they prove incorrect, would likely cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although our forward-looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of our management, these statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “could,” “should,” hope,” “seek,” “may,” and other similar expressions (including their use in the negative) identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the following:
· | our lack of capital and whether or not we will be able to raise capital when we need it, |
· | government regulation of the Internet and Internet services in China, |
· | our ability to successfully compete in our markets and industries, |
· | our ability to find suitable acquisition targets and, once acquired, to integrate these acquisitions into our business; |
· | adverse changes to the political, economic or social conditions in China |
and other factors, some of which will be outside our control. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. You should refer to and carefully review the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements under the captions “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as other captions in this Annual Report. You should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events or risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. If any of these events occur, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a part of the value of your shares of our common stock.
The cautionary statements made in this Annual Report are intended to be applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they may appear in this Annual Report. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. We disclaim any intention to update these statements.

Information on Currency Translation
All amounts in this Annual Report are in Renminbi (“Rmb”) unless indicated to be in United States Dollars (“$” or “US$”). Our sales are principally in Rmb. The translation of Rmb amounts into US dollars are for reference purposes only and have been made at the exchange rate of Rmb6.1807 for US$1. The People’s Bank of China sets and publishes daily a base exchange rate with reference primarily to the supply and demand of/for Rmb against the US dollar in the market during the prior day. The People’s Bank of China also takes into account other factors such as the general conditions existing in the international foreign exchange markets. Although Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to reduce restrictions on the convertibility of Rmb into foreign currency for current amount items, conversion of Rmb into any other currency for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or security, requires the approval of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange. Rmb which had been tightly pegged at Rmb8.28 for US$1 for the previous decade, was revalued on July 21, 2005 to Rmb8.11 for US$1 following the removal of the peg to the US dollar and pressure from the United States. The Peoples Bank of China also announced that the Rmb would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies, rather than being strictly tied to the US dollar and would trade within a narrow 0.3% band against this basket of currencies, which is dominated by the US dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and South Korean Won, with a smaller proportion made up of the British pound, Thai Baht and Russian Ruble. The translation of Rmb amounts in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is not a representation that the Rmb amounts could actually be converted into US dollars at that rate or at any other rate on that date or on any other date.

PART I
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
History and Development of the Company
Uni Core Holdings Corporation (as used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “the Company,” “UCHC,” and “UniCore” refer to Uni Core Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries) was incorporated as La Med Tech, Inc. under the laws of the State of Utah on March 6, 1985. The Company changed its name to Entertainment Concepts International in 1987, to Lords & Lazarus, Inc. in 1988, and to Utility Communications International, Inc. in 1996 and to Intermost Corporation in 1998 and to Uni Core Holdings Limited in 2009.
From the date of incorporation through October 1998, the Company’s operations were limited to efforts to identify and acquire or merge with, one or more operating businesses. In October 1998, the Company acquired all of the issued shares of Intermost Limited, a British Virgin Islands Company (“IML”), by issuing to the then shareholders of IML a total of 4,970,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, (i) IML became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (ii) the shareholders of IML held 58.7% of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company, (iii) the Company changed its name to Intermost Corporation, (iv) the Company terminated all its prior business activities and adopted IML’s business plan, and (v) all officers and directors of the Company resigned and were replaced by officers and directors of IML.
In February 2003, the Company reincorporated (changed its domicile) from Utah to the State of Wyoming.
IML was incorporated in January 1998 to develop a Chinese-language Internet business portal and to render services in connection therewith in the People’s Republic of China (“China”). During the period following the Merger, in an effort to implement this business plan, the Company entered into agreements with and completed acquisitions of, some businesses that provided or supported Internet services. The Company also endeavored to develop its own Internet services businesses, including e-commerce business solutions. However, the global decline in the demand for Internet services after mid-2000, which resulted in a significant economic slowdown that affected many of the companies with which we do business, materially undermined the effectiveness of our efforts. While we continued (and still continue) to offer web design and hosting services to customers in China through our subsidiary, ChinaE.com Information Technology Ltd. (“ChinaE”), we also began to look for ways to diversify or expand our business.
In November 2002 ChinaE purchased eight licenses for HanWEB Publishing Server 3.0, an online real time translation engine that translates traditional Chinese characters, used in most of the world, to simplified Chinese characters, which are used only in China, and vice versa, and six licenses for HanVoice Web to Phone Server 1.0, a real time Internet to telephone conversion server for Cantonese, Putonghua and English. These were purchased from KanHan Technologies Ltd. (“KanHan”) at a cost of $150K. The Company was one of two distributors of these licenses in China.
With the assistance of KanHan, the Company opened an office in Guangzhou in April 2003. The office was staffed with two persons who were responsible for introducing these products to businesses and government agencies in Guangdong Province. For a period of approximately one year, KanHan subsidized the costs related to maintaining this office and developing a market for these products. The amount of the subsidy was approximately $12,800 per month. The office was closed in March 2004 and the Company is no longer receiving the subsidy, although it continues to market the licenses.

In May 2003, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, IMOT Information Technology (Shenzhen) Ltd. (“IMOT Technology”), received approval from the governments of Shenzhen and Shanghai for its proposed acquisition of 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Shanghai Newray Photographic Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Newray”) from Shanghai Newray Business Development Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Newray Business”), the owner of 75.5% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shanghai Newray. Shanghai Newray is located in Shanghai and is engaged in the sale of digital photographic equipment. Approval of the governments of Shenzhen and Shanghai was required to complete the acquisition, which was memorialized in a Shareholding Transfer Agreement entered into on May 23, 2003 between IMOT Technology and Shanghai Newray Business.
Pursuant to the Shareholding Transfer Agreement, IMOT Technology paid Shanghai Newray Business Rmb200,000 (approximately $24,000) in cash to reimburse Shanghai Newray Business for certain expenses related to the acquisition and agreed to transfer to Shanghai Newray Business 4 million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The cash used to reimburse Shanghai Newray Business for its expenses was paid with the Company’s funds.
On October 3, 2003 IMOT Technology entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of Shanghai Fortune Venture Limited (“Shanghai Fortune”) from certain shareholders of Shanghai Fortune. Shanghai Fortune has the right to operate equity exchange transactions in Shanghai, and through its investment in Xi’an Assets and Equity Exchange, operate an equity exchange in Xi’an. In China, equity, including intellectual property rights, may be listed on and transferred through such exchanges. The share transfer was approved by the government of Shanghai on April 12, 2004. The consideration for this acquisition was Rmb600,000 (approximately $72,464) in cash plus 10 million shares of our restricted common stock. The value of the common stock was determined to be $0.24 per share, based upon the average of the closing prices for the 10-day period from September 22, 2003 to October 1, 2003. The shares were issued on April 14, 2004.
On May 23, 2006, UCHC signed an agreement to sell the 25% shareholding investment in Shanghai Fortune to Mr. Li Laohu. The net asset value of Shanghai Fortune as of December 31, 2005, the latest audited financial statements date, was Rmb21,957,791. The consideration received by UCHC for the sale of the 25% shareholding was agreed at redemption of 6.5 million shares of restricted common stock of UCHC with a value of US$0.18 per share, which was the closing price of UCHC share of common stock as of May 23, 2006, held and transferred by Mr. Li Laohu, Mr. Li Xiaoqin and Ms. Huang Xiujuan.
Since December 6, 2002, Shanghai Fortune has been an official registered member of the Shanghai Technology Exchange (the “STE”) and was entitled to conduct exchange business with the STE. The STE was the major entity in the Shanghai Equity Exchange Market. Shanghai Fortune had the exclusive right to manage and operate the North Shanghai Branch (the “NSB”) of the STE. The NSB had the right to conduct the same exchange business as STE and share 80% of the profits with the STE.
Shanghai Fortune was also a founder and major participant in the Yangtze River Delta Equity Exchange Market Place (the “YRDE”). The YRDE included more than 14 major exchanges in Shanghai and the surrounding cities and was the largest equity exchange market place in China.
However, in December 2003, the STE and another exchange were merged into the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange (the “SUAEE”). The SUAEE is a non-profit government-sponsored organization.
As a result of the merger of the STE, although Shanghai Fortune continues to maintain its membership, it is currently still unclear how the NSB and the YRDE will conduct business going forward, and how Shanghai Fortune will participate in the equity exchange markets following the issuance of final regulations by the local PRC government. Due to the uncertainty of the content and timing of governmental regulations, UCHC entered into the May 23, 2006 agreement for the sale of its interest in Shanghai Fortune for $1.17 million

On August 10, 2004, we purchased 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Golden Anke Technology Ltd. (“Golden Anke”) from two of its shareholders, Tu Guoshen and Li Zhiquan, for UCHC Technology for $3.24 million, payable by issuance of 12 million shares of our common stock. The value of our common stock was determined by applying a 20% discount to the average closing price during the period from January 20 to March 19, 2004.
On or about February 15, 2007 we sold approximately two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares in Golden Anke to an unaffiliated minority stockholder so that this minority stockholder could seek an independent listing of Golden Anke on a UK exchange, thus reducing our ownership from approximately 51% to approximately 49%. We recently discovered that Golden Anke is no longer seeking a public listing and negotiated an exit settlement under which it will buy back our 49% ownership interest for US$1 million. To date we have collected $200,000 of this amount.
In September 2, 2004, IML incorporated a 100% owned subsidiary, ChinaE.com Technology (Shenzhen) Ltd. (“ChinaE Tech”), to take over the business of ChinaE to provide and support Internet services including, but not limited to, web-hosting, web design, domain name registration and software development.
On December 8, 2004, IMOT Technology entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of Shenzhen International Hi-Tech Exchange (“Hi-Tech Exchange”) from Shenzhen Merchant Technology Investment Co., Ltd. Hi-Tech Exchange is an enterprise authorized by the People’s Republic of China’s government to carry out business in the transfer of hi-tech property rights and corporate equity interests. The share transfer was approved by the government of Shenzhen on February 25, 2005. The consideration for this acquisition was 2,470,355 shares of our common stock. The value of the common stock was determined to be $0.22 per share based upon the average of the closing prices for the period from October 18, 2004 to November 18, 2004. The shares were issued on February 28, 2005. Subsequently, on December 8, 2006, we redeemed all of these 2,470,355 shares for an aggregate redemption price of US$805,214.75.
On January 6, 2005, all necessary government approvals were obtained to complete the transfer of 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hainan Concord Financial Products Development Co., Ltd. (“Hainan Concord”) from Guangzhou Ditai Communication Co., Ltd. and Zhai Xiya to IMOT Technology. Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement signed on December 11, 2004 the purchase price paid for the stock was $917,874. On January 12, 2005 we issued to the selling shareholders 5 million shares of our restricted common stock, in full payment of the purchase price. The value of our common stock was determined by applying a 15% discount to the average closing price for the 10 day trading period from November 16, 2004 to November 30, 2004. Hainan Concord’s principal business is to issue and manage multi-functional membership cards for the people who participate in private equity exchange in Hainan. Hainan Concord also provides financial institutions with research and development services for their financial products and instruments.
On October 19, 2005, all necessary government approvals were obtained to complete the transfer of 21% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hainan Special Economic Zone Equity Exchange Center (the “Exchange Center”) from Hainan Concord Investment Holding Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Keensheng Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. Pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to the Exchange Center Stockholders 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of RMB8,799,350 (approximately US$1,085,000). The consideration for the transaction was agreed to after arm’s-length negotiations between the unrelated parties. On October 19, 2005, we issued to the selling shareholders 5 million shares of our common stock in full payment of the purchase price.
On July 13, 2006, IML incorporated a 100% owned subsidiary, Leader Palace International Ltd. (“LPI”), to explore businesses in Taiwan region. LPI started to negotiate an investment in touch panel manufacturing and such negotiations are still ongoing.

On December 15, 2009, the Company entered into five sale and purchase agreements with the shareholders of APT Paper Group Limited (“APT”) to purchase all shares of APT at a consideration of not less than US$22,000,000 which will be paid by way of the Company shares fixed at the share price of US$0,05. The acquisition of APT was completed on May 31, 2010 and the Company has aggregately issued 440 million Company shares on Jun 1, 2010 for exchange as consideration for the APT shares. The business of APT is manufacturing paper packaging products. After the acquisition, the Company controls the new combined companies and the Company’s original senior management team remained on the same original position oversight of the operation of the entire group of companies.
On December 21, 2009 the registrant entered into an Investment Cooperation Agreement with the shareholders of SPA to acquire approximately 51% of SPA in consideration for 11,000,000 registrant common shares. The transaction took the registrant longer than anticipated to complete. In January, 2011 the registrant closed a first tranche and acquired approximately 21% of SPA by issuance of 4,000,000 shares of registrant common stock.
On July 10, 2013 the registrant announced that it had completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 51% of Shaanxi Prosperous Agriculture Co., Ltd. (“SPA”), an agricultural products wholesale company located in Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province of China. The transaction was completed through its subsidiary IMOT Information Technology (Shenzhen) Limited. As part of the transaction the registrant loaned 4.85 million RMB to SPA. SPA specializes in market segment where customers can buy the company’s products through local stores in the agricultural products network. SPA will remain a subsidiary of UCHC after its acquisition. The Acquisition was final upon completion of an audit.
On June 30, 2013, Shaanxi Prosperous Agriculture Co., Ltd is processing to acquire 80% interest in Xi’an Zoyo Management Consulting Co. Ltd., (XZMC) a company registered in Shaanxi, China. XZMC provides enterprise consulting, marketing, distribution planning, corporate image building and computer graphic design and advertising design for small agricultural business.
UCHC management believes that future profit of UCHC will come from the new JV between Prosperous Agriculture and JEWON. UCHC management further believes that the other applications of phyllite from Korea, such as “water purification” and “decontamination of nuclear pollution”, will contribute to an even bigger and more profitable business.
The Shenzhen Factory of APT is still in the process of being closed down. Suzhou Factory is not optimistic and may have to be closed down eventually since it is not the objective of the Board of Directors of UCHC to have a business with continuous loss
Management is continuing its efforts to identify and explore acquisition, merger and development opportunities.
Products and Services
Internet, Electronic Equity Platform and Business Consulting Services
Through China Equity Platform Holding Group Limited (“CEPHGL”), our subsidiary, we offer web design, web hosting, domain name registration, software development and office automation software and online or electronic platforms services to our clients. We operate within what is commonly referred to as the “business-to-business” segment of the Internet market, where products and services are offered principally to businesses, as compared to the “business-to-consumer” segment of the Internet services market, where products and services are offered to consumers directly.
8 |
We also conduct business consulting services and advisory services to Chinese SMEs seeking fundraising through CEPHGL. Relying on our established relationship with regional private equity exchanges, we can access the tens of thousands of SMEs registered therein and develop our own clients among them. The business consulting business complements our electronic equity services platform business by building up relationships with SMEs. Our services include business and strategy planning, business restructuring, corporate financing, M&A advisory, personnel arrangement, investment relationship, etc. Generally, we assist SMEs to streamline their operations, reduce costs and improve management and we draw revenue in the form of consulting fees.
Equity Exchange
Equity exchanges are platforms that permit privately-owned and state-owned equity transactions. Subject to the parameters established by the government of China, equity exchanges provide services for the purchase and sale of equity rights, debts, intellectual property rights and technology property rights. Equity listed on the exchanges may be traded through negotiation, auction and bids.
Our subsidiary, Hainan Concord’s principal business is to issue and manage multi-functional membership cards for the people who participate in private equity exchange in Hainan, and has an exclusive agreement with Hainan Exchange Centre Non-Public Company Registration Co., Ltd. to issue multi-functional membership and credit cards to their members.
Through our 9% investment in Shenzhen United Property And Share Rights Exchange (Formerly known as Hi-Tech Exchange) and 12.6% investment in Exchange Center, we have further expanded our investment in Shenzhen and Hainan, China. Shenzhen Exchange and Exchange Center are authorized by the government of China to engage in the business of transferring equity and corporate equity interests in Shenzhen and Hainan.
At this time the various equity exchanges in China work, for the most part, independently of one another. We believe that this is inefficient. We are in the process of using our software technology to develop, and we hope to eventually implement, an electronic information and trading platform for equity exchanges that will enable the flow of information regarding rights transfers, as well as payments, among the different equity exchanges in China, including those owned and operated by Shenzhen Exchange and Exchange Center.
On February 27, 2012, the Company has disposed the entire investment in the China Equity Platform Holding Group Limited and terminated the equity exchange business.
Paper Products
Starting from October 1998, there was a decrease in China’s exports with issues on wooden packaging. The Chinese Government had requested urgent resolution on related strategies and tactics to resolve the issues. This is the main reason and force seeking replacement to wooden packaging materials, honeycomb paper material is an ideal substitute and quickly became popular in the industry of packaging.
Our subsidiary,APT entered into the business at the very early stage of the industry when honeycomb paper products were still an unknown industry to most of the paper products companies. APT highly promoted the products and became the industry leader in the Pearl River Delta Region having a significant market share.
Agriculture Products
Shaanxi Prosperous Agriculture Company Limited ("Prosperous Agriculture"), one of UCHC's subsidiaries, further strengthens its operation and innovate services by introducing a new model of promotion service "Double Hundred" before the beginning of the selling season to expand the depth of the direct sales chain system operation.
9 |
To execute the "Double Hundred" program, every direct sales store locates 100 high-quality growers and opens 100 road shows in the respective region. The launch of this program allows Prosperous Agriculture to get closer to the farmers to achieve a seamless connection in order to gain the recognition and support of the farmers. Furthermore, the foundation of direct sales chain store operation shall become much stronger through the integration of distinct dominant resources to achieve in-depth operation and promotion, and to raise the reputation and brand awareness of the direct sales chain model.
Competition
Internet, Electronic Equity Platform and Business Consulting Services
The market for Internet services and software is intensely competitive and we expect it to become more competitive in the future. Increased competition could result in pricing pressures, low operating margins and the realization of little or no market value. Currently, our competitors are primarily other Chinese owned and operated Internet services and software development companies.
Most of our current and potential competitors may have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do, and may enter into strategic or commercial relationships on more favorable terms than we can. In addition, new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may increase competitive pressure on us.
In January 2010, Google, our major competitor, allegedly fell prey to a cyber attack from hackers believed to be working for the Chinese government. In March 2010, Google announced that it would be shutting down its China-based site and redirecting Chinese users to its uncensored Hong Kong site. The incident demonstrated the need for self-censorship in China.
On February 17, 2012, the Company disposed the China Equity Platform Holding Company Limited and will no longer engage in electronic equity exchange business although we are still in the consultancy business.
Equity Exchange
There is no national equity exchange in China. It has been estimated that there are approximately 100 equity exchanges in China, most of them small in scale and serving only the local area. There are also a few large equity exchanges serving the largest cities in China, including the Beijing Equity Exchange Center, the Tianjin Equity Exchange Center and the Shanghai Equity Exchange Center. Even the operations of the large equity exchanges are localized.
Currently, because of the localized nature of equity exchanges, there is not significant competition among them. However, further development and expansion of other large equity exchanges, or the nationalization of equity exchanges, would be likely to result in an increase in competition. If that were to happen, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to attract property owners to list their properties for sale on our exchange and to identify and secure investors or buyers for the properties we list. As the Company has disposed the China Equity Platform Holding Company Limited, the Company will no longer engage in equity exchange business.

Paper Products
Due to increased global awareness of environmental protection in recent years, the demand for honeycomb paper products continues to increase. It therefore attracts many speculators to invest in this high potential industry, most of which are smaller processing plants with a much smaller cost base than us and, therefore, enjoy a very big advantage in lower product costs.
Agriculture Products
Prosperous Agriculture, 51% of which is owned by UCHC, is headquartered in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China. Prosperous Agriculture manufactures and distributes agricultural brands and also establishes a national agricultural resources chain direct sales platform through the opening and acquiring of agricultural resources direct sales outlets and dealers, and by working with well-known manufacturers of agricultural products. Prosperous Agriculture integrated more than 2,000 agricultural resources.
Regulation
Since we operate principally through our subsidiaries in China, we are subject to and affected by the many laws, regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints that apply to business operations located in China.
China has enacted regulations governing Internet connection and the distribution of information via the Internet. Pursuant to Article 6 of the Revised Provisional Regulations Governing the Management of Chinese Computer Information Networks Connected to International Networks, individuals or entities operating computer networks within China, which are connected to the Internet and conduct international information exchange, must use the international access channels provided by the Ministry of Information Industry (“MII”) and obtain various licenses and approvals. Our relevant subsidiaries have secured the necessary licenses and approvals, and access the Internet through ChinaNet, an approved channel of MII.
The operation of our equity exchange will be largely dependent upon the development of China’s policies and laws relating to the transfer of private and state-owned equity. The transfer and management of state-owned equity are subject to the supervision of the Administrative Bureau of State-owned Assets, whereas the equity of privately-owned enterprises must be transferred in compliance with the Company Law and related regulations. After February 17, 2012, the Company is no longer engaging in equity exchange business.
According to the Provisional Procedures on the Administration of the Transfer of State-owned Equity in Enterprises, all the transfers of state-owned equity must be carried out through duly authorized equity exchange centers. NSB and Xi’an Assets and Equity Exchange have secured the necessary licenses and approvals for their operations and qualify to transfer state-owned equity.
We work diligently to assure compliance with all applicable regulations which impact our business, including cooperating with the MII, the Ministry of Public Security and the Administrative Bureau of State-owned Assets. There can be no assurance, however, that additional regulations will not be enacted that might adversely affect our operations.
Employees
As of June 30, 2013, we employed 137 full-time employees consisting of 5 management executives and 78 administrative & clerical staff and 59 direct labor. None of our employees is member of any labor union, and we have never experienced any business interruption as a result of any labor disputes. We do not provide any special benefit or incentive programs for our employees. We believe that we enjoy good relations with all of our employees.

In addition to other information in this Annual Report, including the risk factors presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis elsewhere herein, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business since it operates in a highly changing and complex business environment that involves numerous risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following discussion highlights a few of these risk factors, any one of which may have a significant adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, and the risks discussed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.
We face significant risks, and the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not know of or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Our success depends on identifying and closing acquisitions of emerging and growing businesses in China.
Our success is largely dependent on our identifying good acquisition targets, negotiating and structuring transactions that are beneficial to us, closing those transactions, finding suitable management to operate those businesses and successfully operate and grow the businesses we acquire.
We must work cooperatively with governmental authorities.
We are engaged in business in a country with a planned economy heavily influenced by government activities and we must work cooperatively with a variety of national, federal, regional, state, provincial, and local government authorities and entities. The economy of China differs significantly from the economies of the “Western” industrialized nations in such respects as structure, level of development, gross national product, growth rate, capital reinvestment, resource allocation, self-sufficiency, rate of inflation and balance of payments position, among others. Only recently has the Chinese government encouraged substantial private economic activities. The Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past several years, but such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and geographic regions. Actions by the Chinese government to control inflation have significantly restrained economic expansion in the recent past. Similar actions by the Chinese government in the future could have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in China and the results of operations of the Company.
If we deliver products with defects, our credibility will be harmed and the sales and market acceptance of our products will decrease.
Our product and services are complex and may at times contain errors, defects and “bugs.” If we deliver products with errors, defects or bugs, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products would be harmed. Further, if our products contain errors, defects or bugs, we may be required to expend significant capital and resources to alleviate such problems. We may agree to indemnify our customers in some circumstances against liability arising from defects in our products. Defects could also lead to liability, and, as a result of product liability lawsuits against us or against our customers. We carry product and information liability and errors and omissions insurance, but in the event that we are required to defend more than a few such actions, or in the event that we are found liable in connection with such an action, our business and operations may be severely and materially adversely affected.
12 |
We compete with large companies.
We operate in a highly competitive industry. Although we believe that some of our technology is unique, can be protected, and, if adopted, will confer benefits that will be otherwise unavailable for some time, we face very large competitors with greater resources which may adopt various strategies to block or slow our market penetration, thereby straining our more limited resources. We are aware of efforts by competitors to introduce doubt about our financial stability as we compete to make sales and win customers and business. Large competitors may also seek to hinder our operations through attempts to recruit key staff with exceptionally attractive terms of employment, including signing bonuses, or by the offer of highly competitive terms to potential or newly acquired customers.
We will need to continue our product development efforts.
We believe that our market will be characterized by increasing technical sophistication. We also believe that our eventual success will depend on our ability to continue to provide increased and specialized technical expertise. There is no assurance that we will not fall technologically behind competitors with greater resources. Although we believe that we enjoy a lead in our product development, and are hopeful that our patents provide some protection, we will likely need significant additional capital in order to continue to enjoy such a technological lead over competitors with more resources.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our competitive position would be adversely affected.
We may rely on patent protection, as well as trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with our employees and others to protect our intellectual property. Despite our precaution, unauthorized third parties may copy our products and services or reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. We have filed eleven patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and intend to file more. Six patents have been granted; however, we do not know if the remaining applications will be granted or whether we will be successful in prosecuting any future patents. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate and third parties may infringe or misappropriate our patents, copyrights, trademarks and similar proprietary rights. If we fail to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business, financial condition and results of operations would suffer. We believe that we do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of any third party, and no third party has asserted an infringement claim against us. It is possible, however, that such a claim might be asserted successfully against us in the future. We may be forced to suspend our operations, or to pay significant amounts to defend our rights, and a substantial amount of the attention of our management may be diverted from our ongoing business, all of which would materially adversely affect our business.
We focus on the research and development of our proprietary technologies and the marketing of our first product.
We believe that these technologies are the basis for marketable commercial products. However, there can be no assurance of this, and it is possible that our proprietary technologies and products will have no commercial benefit or potential. In addition, from our inception to the present, we have not recognized any substantial operating revenues.
We depend on our key personnel and may have difficulty attracting and retaining the skilled staff we need to execute our growth plans.
Our success will be dependent largely upon the efforts of our management team. The loss of key staff could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. To execute our plans, we will have to attract and retain current employees. Competition for highly skilled employees with technical, management, marketing, sales, product development and other specialized training is intense. We may not be successful in attracting or retaining such qualified personnel. Specifically, we may experience increased costs in order to retain skilled employees. If we are unable to attract or retain experienced employees as needed, we would be unable to execute our business plan.
13 |
We may face rapid technological change.
The market for our products and services may be characterized by rapidly changing technologies, extensive research and the introduction of new products and services. We believe that our future success will depend in part upon our ability to continue to enhance our existing products and to develop, manufacture and market new products and services. As a result, we expect to continue to make a significant investment in engineering, research and development. During the fiscal years 2009 and 2010, we spent Rmb75,000_($US10,985) and Rmb420,321 ($US63,418), respectively; the cost of such activities were borne by the Company, not customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new products and services or enhance our initial products in a timely manner to satisfy customer needs, achieve market acceptance or address technological changes in our target markets. Failure to develop products and services and introduce them successfully and in a timely manner could adversely affect our competitive position, financial condition and results of operations.
If we experience rapid growth, we will need to manage such growth well.
We may experience substantial growth in the size of our staff and the scope of our operations, resulting in increased responsibilities for management. To manage this possible growth effectively, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management information systems, will possibly need to create entire departments that do not now exist, and hire, train, motivate and manage a growing number of staff. Due to a competitive employment environment for qualified technical, marketing and sales personnel, we expect to experience difficulty in filling our needs for qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively achieve or manage any future growth, and our failure to do so could delay product development cycles and market penetration or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We could face information and product liability risks and may not have adequate insurance.
Our products may be used in connection with critical business applications. We may become the subject of litigation alleging that one or more of our products are ineffective or disruptive in our treatment of data, or with regard to critical business information. Thus, we may become the target of lawsuits from injured or disgruntled businesses or other users. In the event that we are required to defend more than a few such actions, or in the event that we are found liable in connection with such actions, our business and operations may be severely and materially adversely affected.
Future profitability is not guaranteed.
We have not recognized any substantial operating revenues to date. Assuming we can attract sufficient financing, and revenues increase, there is no assurance that our plans will be realized or that we will achieve break-even status or profitability in the future.
Changes to financial accounting standards may affect our results of operations and cause us to change business practices.
We prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and various other bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting principles. A change in those principles can have a significant effect on our reported results and may affect our reporting of transactions completed before a change is announced. Changes to those rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct business. For example, accounting principles affecting many aspects of our business, including rules relating to equity-related compensation, have recently been revised. The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other agencies finalized changes to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that required us, starting January 1, 2006, to record a charge to earnings for employee stock option grants and other equity incentives. We will have significant ongoing accounting charges resulting from option grant and other equity incentive expensing that could reduce net income or increase losses. In addition, since we historically used equity-related compensation as a component of our total employee compensation program, the accounting change could make the use of equity-related compensation less attractive and therefore make it more difficult to attract and retain employees.

There is a limited market for our common stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends.
Our common stock is not listed on any exchange and trades in the over-the-counter (the “OTC”) market in the United States. Additionally, one stockholder holds a majority of our stock. As such, the market for our common stock is limited and is not regulated by the rules and regulations of any exchange in the United States or China. Further, the price of our common stock and its trading volume in the OTC market may be subject to wide fluctuations. Our stock price could decline regardless of our actual operating performance, and stockholders could lose a substantial part of their investment as a result of industry or market-based fluctuations. Our stock trades relatively thinly. If a more active public market for our stock is not sustained, it may be difficult for stockholders to sell shares of our common stock, in which case they may sustain significant losses or lose their entire investments. Because we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they are able to sell them. The market price of our common stock will likely fluctuate in response to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the following:
· | sales, sales cycle and market acceptance or rejection of our products; |
· | economic conditions within our industry; |
· | our failure to meet performance estimates or the performance estimates of securities analysts; |
· | the timing of announcements by us or our competitors of significant products, contracts or acquisitions or publicity regarding actual or potential results or performance thereof; and |
· | domestic Chinese and international economic, business and political conditions. |
Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC require annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm attesting to and reporting on these assessments. If we fail to adequately maintain compliance with, or maintain the adequacy of, our internal control over financial reporting, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC. If we cannot favorably assess, or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investor confidence in the reliability of our financial reports may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Against Foreign Persons.
Although the Company is a Wyoming corporation, we engage in business primarily in China, our factories, properties, equipment and other assets are located outside the United States in China and our officers and directors are located outside the United States in China. Therefore, investors and stockholders may have considerable difficulty in bringing an original action in courts in the United States or in China under the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, against the Company, its factories or its officers and directors. Investors and stockholders also may have considerable difficulty in effecting service of process in the United States on our officers and directors or in enforcing in courts in China judgments of United States courts against them based on the U.S. federal securities laws.

ITEM 6. | SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA |
We are a “smaller reporting company” and, pursuant to Item 301(c) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, set forth elsewhere in the Annual Report. These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as used in the United States. These principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions, judgments and estimates and were used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized (i) with respect to services, at the time a project (or a milestone thereof) is completed and accepted by the customer, and (ii) with respect to products, at the time products are delivered to customers and collectability for such sales is reasonably assured. We have adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No.101, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 101”) in our financial statements. SAB 101 provides in part further interpretive guidance for public companies on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenues in financial statements. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material impact on our revenue recognition practices.
Accounts Receivable
We typically extend credit to our customers. From time to time, e-commerce solution services are provided under fixed-price contracts where the revenues and the payment of related receivable balances are due upon the achievement of certain milestones. Management estimates the probability of collection of the receivable balances and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its judgment in assessing the realization of these receivable balances taking into account aging, historical experience, the customer’s financial condition and general economic conditions.
Long-lived assets and goodwill
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets held or used whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss, measured on the fair value of the asset, is recognized if expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets.
19 |
We evaluate goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” formerly SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using discounted cash flows approach. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
Overview
We believe that the People’s Republic of China represents an exciting emerging world market whose role in the global economy is increasing steadily. China’s economic growth rate, measured by its gross domestic product, has consistently been higher than 7% per year over each of the past 10 years. This economic growth is attributable to many factors, including investment in the country’s infrastructure, increased privatization of businesses and an abundant source of labor. Currently, we offer products and services to businesses and consumers located primarily in China. Our plan is to take advantage of China’s economic growth to expand our existing businesses and, possibly, in the future, to sell our products and services outside of China. We also have begun to acquire diverse businesses that are not dependent on, or directly related to, each other. We believe that diversification is a good hedge against the collapse of a single industry, such as the global collapse of the technology industry that occurred in 2000. We expect that any acquisitions we make will improve our financial condition, although we cannot guarantee any such result.
In response to the economic recovery, we began to diversify our business, so that we will no longer be dependent on one market for revenue. Generally, the issuance of our common stock represents some or all of the purchase price we pay for an acquired business. We believe that the continued active trading of our common stock will be important to the principals of target companies and future acquisitions may be dependent on the active trading of our common stock. However, our common stock has not been actively traded and, if our common stock continues to trade with limited volume and at current levels we may not be able to make acquisitions as planned.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 we incurred a net operating loss of $14,052,917. Our auditor, Albert Wong & Co., CPA, has issued a “going concern” opinion for our financial statements as of June 30, 2013, as a result of out recurring losses from operations, a significant accumulated deficit, and our continuing to experience negative cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have funded our operations with cash from our operating activities, sales of our securities and by using our common stock to make acquisitions and purchases.
At June 30, 2013 we had cash and cash equivalents of $270K and net current liabilities of $17,574K as compared to $506K of cash and cash equivalents and $5,575K of net current liabilities as of June 30, 2012.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $3,129K during the 2013 fiscal year while net cash used in operating activities was $6,455K during the 2012 fiscal year. Cash used in operating activities was partially offset by non-cash charges, including depreciation expense in the amount of $358K.
Net cash used in investing activities was $44,846K for the 2013 fiscal year while net cash used in investing activities was $265K for the 2012 fiscal year. Funds provided by investing activities derived from the amount of funds used in acquiring office equipments in 2013 and funds used in investing activities consisted of addition of office equipment and intangible assets in 2012.
Net cash used in financing activities was $709K for the 2013 fiscal year while net cash provided by financing activities was $2,856K for the 2012 fiscal year. Funds provided by financing activity were mainly from the issuance of common stocks, the increase in bank loan and convertible loan stocksduring the 2013 fiscal year.
We had no long term debt as of June 30, 2013. Except as otherwise described herein, we have no plans to make any major capital expenditures during the next 12 months and we are not aware of any trends or uncertainties that could affect sales of our products. We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
We have implemented various cost management measures to reduce our overhead. The Company will likely need to borrow money or obtain additional equity financing in order to sustain operations. At present, we have no commitments, arrangements or understandings for funding and there is no assurance that necessary funding will be available to us, or that any such funding would be on acceptable terms. If we need financing and cannot obtain it, we may be required to severely curtail, or even cease, our operations.
Factors Affecting Revenues and Profitability. Our operating results have been, and will continue to be, affected by a wide variety of factors that could have a material adverse effect on revenues and profitability during any particular period. Some of these factors include:
· | Our ability to successfully implement our business plan; |
· | Whether or not we will be able to obtain the additional capital necessary to support our operations; |
23 |
· | Whether or not we will find joint venture prospects or acquisition prospects with which to enhance our business; |
· | Whether or not we can successfully integrate acquisitions that we make into our business; |
· | The level and rate of acceptance of our products and services by the Chinese people; |
· | Continued growth in the use of the Internet in China; |
· | Entry of new competition (including established companies from outside China and companies with substantially greater resources) into our market; |
· | Fluctuations in the level of orders for services delivered in a quarter; |
· | Rescheduling or cancellation of orders by customers; |
· | Competitive pressures on selling prices; |
· | Changes in product, service or customer mix; |
· | Rapid changes in technology, which result in our technology becoming obsolete; |
· | Availability and cost of computer technicians; |
· | Loss of any strategic relationships; |
· | Loss of our largest customers; |
· | Our ability to introduce new products and services on a timely basis; |
· | New product and service introductions by our competitors; |
· | Fluctuations in exchange rates, and |
· | Adverse changes in the general economic, social or political conditions in the People’s Republic of China. |

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are able to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC, and to record, process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified by the SEC. Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report conducted by management, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that we are able to record, process, summarize and report the information we are required to disclosure in the reports we file with the SEC within the required time periods.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. We have identified our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting due to the deficiencies in relevant education and ongoing training your financial management and staff. We have taken or plan to take and the procedures we have implemented or plan to implement to correct the identified material weakness are:
l | We have instituted monthly business reviews led by our Chief Executive Officer and monthly operating and financial statement reviews by various levels of our management team, including our executive officers. |
l | We are taking steps to create an Audit Committee and a new disclosure review group in order to further formalize our internal review processes related to preparation of our SEC reports and other public disclosures, which will include directors, executive management, senior financial management and senior operating personnel; |
l | We are expanding our educational assistance to all our accounting staff to ensure a thorough and consistent understanding of changes in accounting principles and modification and enhancements in our internal controls and procedures. |
We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2013.
Our annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed by President Obama on July 21, 2010 allows small public companies to have a permanent exemption from the Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(b) requirement to obtain an audit report of internal controls over financial reporting.

Change in Internal Controls Over Financing Reporting

Director’s Compensation

Other Compensation and Employment Arrangements
The Company has adopted and the stockholders have approved the Intermost Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the terms and provisions of the Plan.
28 |
The Plan authorizes awards of options, awards of stock (“Stock Award”) and the granting of bonus stock (“Stock Bonus”). Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan include the Company's employees, officers and directors and its consultants, independent contractors and advisors. As of June 30, 2011, all of the Company’s employees, officers and directors were eligible to receive awards under the Plan. The number of persons covered by the Plan may increase if we add additional employees (including officers) and directors. As of the date of this Annual Report, no awards have been granted from the Plan.
The Company’s Board of Directors administers the Plan. For purposes of this discussion, the body administering the Plan will be referred to as the Administrator. The Administrator has the authority to determine, at its discretion, the number and type of awards that will be granted, the recipients of the awards, any exercise or purchase price required to be paid, when options may be exercised and the term of option grants. Awards under the Plan are not defined as to any group. The term of the Plan is 10 years from the date the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors. We have reserved 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for awards to be made under the Plan.
The exercise price for stock options granted to officers and directors must be the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price for stock options granted to eligible persons other than officers and directors may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The term of an option may not exceed 10 years.
A Stock Award is an offer by the Company to sell to an eligible person shares of common stock that may or may not be subject to restrictions. Stock Awards granted to officers and directors must be granted at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the award. Stock Awards granted to eligible persons who are not officers or directors may not be granted at less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the award. Stock Awards may be subject to vesting conditions, as determined by the Administrator.
A Stock Bonus is a grant of shares that may be awarded to an eligible person. A Stock Bonus may be subject to vesting conditions, as determined by the Administrator. A Stock Bonus may be awarded for any reason determined by the Administrator, including, but not limited to, extraordinary services rendered to the Company by an eligible person, as an award for performance achieved by the Company or upon satisfaction of performance goals by the eligible person.
In the United States, a recipient will not recognize any taxable income at the time an option is granted. However, upon exercise of an option, the recipient will include in income as compensation an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the recipient's exercise price. The included amount will be treated as ordinary income by the recipient and may be subject to withholding. Upon resale of the shares by the recipient, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as capital gain or loss. There is no tax consequence to the Company as a result of either the grant or the vesting of stock options.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Uni Core Holdings Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 included in the Company’s Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Uni Core Holdings Corporation as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 19. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On February 27, 2012, the Company has disposed the entire investment in the China Equity Platform Holding Group Limited.
On June 30, 2013, the Company acquired 51% of Shaanxi Prosperous Agriculture Co., Limited (“SPACL”), a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, and its subsidiary, Xi’an Zoyo Management and Consulting Co., Limited (“XZMCCL”), a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, by issuing 11,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of US$0.001 per share to the shareholders of SPACL. The acquisition was treated as a normal acquisition since the Uni Core management team will control the new combined companies to oversight the entire operation of the whole group of companies.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(c) | Use of estimates |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
(d) | Economic and political risks |
The Company’s operations are mainly conducted in the PRC and Taiwan (ROC). Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in the PRC and Taiwan may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC and Taiwan, and by the general state of the PRC and Taiwan economy.
The Company’s major operations in the PRC and Taiwan are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. 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 government administration, governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(e) | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts only in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America.
(f) | Account receivable |
Accounts receivable is carried at the net invoiced value charged to customer. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover estimated credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its evaluation of the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the credit risk of its customers utilizing historical data and estimates of future performance.
(g) | Investments |
The non-marketable equity security investments are presented at historical cost because the Company does not have significant influence over the underlying investments. These investments are subject to a periodic impairment review. To the extent any impairment is considered other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to its fair value and the loss is recorded as interest income and other, net.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(h) | Property and equipment |
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Computer equipment | 3 years |
Furniture and office equipment | 5 years |
Buildings | Over the lease terms |
Leasehold improvements | Over the lease terms |
Motor vehicles | 5 years |
Machinery and equipment | 5 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(i) | Inventories |
Inventories consist of finished goods, work in progress and raw materials, and stated at the lower of cost or market value. Substantially all inventory costs are determined using the weighted average basis. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overhead. The management regularly evaluates the composition of its inventory to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if additional write-downs are required.
(j) | Goodwill |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. See Note 4 for goodwill impairment details.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(k) | Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets is evaluated for impairment at a minimum on an annual basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10 “Impairments of Long-Lived Assets” formerly SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. The recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by determining whether the unamortized balances can be recovered through undiscounted future net cash flows of the related assets. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future net cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of capital.
(l) | Associated Company |
An associated company is a business enterprise in which the Company owns between 20% and 50% of the equity capital, and does not have direct or indirect or joint control, and therefore, has only limited ability to participate in financial and operating policy decisions.
The Company's investment in associated companies is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying amount is adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Company's share of the associated company's results of operations.

Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance contract, generally twelve months. The unearned portion of maintenance revenue is classified as deferred revenue and amortized over the life of the contract.
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the delivery of goods to customers. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
- Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
- Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
- The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and

(n) | Stock compensation |
The Company may periodically issue shares of common stock for services rendered or for financing costs. Such shares are valued based on the market price of the shares on the transaction date.
The Company may periodically issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.
ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" formerly SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity -Based Payments to Non-Employees" which codified SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
In accordance with ASC 718, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to non-employees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
Stock options issued to non-employee directors at fair market value will be accounted for under the intrinsic value method.
The Company did not have any stock options outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2013 (2012: Nil). Accordingly, no pro forma financial disclosure is provided herein.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes. A valuation allowance is created to evaluate deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.
In respect of the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled and operated in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the taxation of these entities can be summarized as follows:
The subsidiaries incorporated in PRC are subject to the corporation income tax rate of 25% for 2013 and 2012.
The subsidiary incorporated in BVI while operated in Taiwan will be considered a non-resident for tax purposes to the profit-seeking enterprise income tax which is from 0% to 25%. However, it will be subject to profit-seeking enterprise income tax only for its income derived from Taiwan sources.
The subsidiaries are subject to Hong Kong profits tax rate of 16.5% (2012: 16.5%).

(r) | Earnings per share |
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” formerly SFAS No. 128. “Earnings Per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per Share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

(u) | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In July 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-01, Health Care Entities (Topic 954): Continuing Care Retirement Communities -- Refundable Advance Fees. This ASU clarifies that an entity should classify an advance fee as deferred revenue when a continuing care retirement community has a resident contract that provides for payment of the refundable advance fee upon reoccupancy by a subsequent resident, which is limited to the proceeds of reoccupancy. Refundable advance fees that are contingent upon reoccupancy by a subsequent resident but are not limited to the proceeds of reoccupancy should be accounted for and reported as a liability. For public entities (including conduit bond obligors), the amendments in ASU No. 2012-01 are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the amendments to the codification in the ASU are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU No. 2012-01 should be applied retrospectively by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings (or unrestricted net assets) as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
In July 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Codification Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. Under the guidance in this ASU, an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.

In August 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114, SEC Release No. 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics.
In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU make technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various Topics throughout the Codification. The amendments in this ASU that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013.
In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-05, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This ASU addresses how cash receipts arising from the sale of certain donated financial assets, such as securities, should be classified in the statement of cash flows of not-for-profit entities (NFPs). Some NFPs classify those cash receipts as investing cash inflows, while other entities classify them as either operating cash inflows or financing cash inflows, consistent with their treatment of inflows arising from cash contributions. The objective of this Update is for an NFP to classify cash receipts from the sale of donated financial assets consistently with cash donations received in the statement of cash flows if those cash receipts were from the sale of donated financial assets that upon receipt were directed without the NFP imposing any limitations for sale and were converted nearly immediately into cash. The amendments in the ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim fiscal periods within those years, beginning after June 15, 2013. Retrospective application to all periods presented upon the date of adoption is permitted. Early adoption from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption is permitted.
In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-06, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution. This ASU addresses the diversity in practice about how to interpret the terms on the same basis and contractual limitations when subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized in a government-assisted (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or National Credit Union Administration) acquisition of a financial institution that includes a loss-sharing agreement (indemnification agreement). For public and nonpublic entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to any new indemnification assets acquired after the date of adoption and to indemnification assets existing as of the date of adoption arising from a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution.

This ASU eliminates the rebuttable presumption that the conditions leading to the write-off of unamortized film costs after the balance sheet date existed as of the balance sheet date. The amendments also eliminate the requirement that an entity incorporate into fair value measurements used in the impairment tests the effects of any changes in estimates resulting from the consideration of subsequent evidence if the information would not have been considered by market participants at the measurement date. or SEC filers, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2012. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for impairment assessments performed on or after December 15, 2013. The amendments resulting from this ASU should be applied prospectively. Earlier application is permitted, including for impairment assessments performed as of a date before October 24, 2012, if, for SEC filers, the entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for all other entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.
In January 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard’s broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial statement users. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP.
The new amendments will require an organization to:
l | Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. |
l | Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. |
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). A private company is required to meet the reporting requirements of the amended paragraphs about the roll forward of accumulated other comprehensive income for both interim and annual reporting periods. However, private companies are only required to provide the information about the effect of reclassifications on line items of net income for annual reporting periods, not for interim reporting periods. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted.
In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-03, Financial Instruments (Topic 825). This ASU clarifies the scope and applicability of a disclosure exemption that resulted from the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendment clarifies that the requirement to disclose"the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety (Level 1, 2, or 3)" does not apply to nonpublic entities for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which fair value is disclosed. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-200—Financial Instruments (Topic 825) which has been deleted. The amendments are effective upon issuance.
61 |
In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This ASU provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2014, and interim periods and annual periods thereafter. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements within the ASU’s scope that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. An entity may elect to use hindsight for the comparative periods (if it changed its accounting as a result of adopting the amendments in this ASU) and should disclose that fact. Early adoption is permitted.
In March 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830). This ASU resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights)within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF11Ar—Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities the amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption.
62 |
In April 2013, FASB Accounting Standards Update 2013-06, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958) - Services Received from Personnel of an Affiliate. This ASU specifies the guidance that not-for-profit entities apply for recognizing and measuring services received from personnel of an affiliate. More specifically, the amendments in this ASU apply to not-for-profit entities, including not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entities that receive services from personnel of an affiliate that directly benefit the recipient not-for-profit entity and for which the affiliate does not charge the recipient not-for-profit entity. The amendments in this ASU require a recipient not-for-profit entity to recognize all services received from personnel of an affiliate that directly benefit the recipient not-for-profit entity. Those services should be measured at the cost recognized by the affiliate for the personnel providing those services. However, if measuring a service received from personnel of an affiliate at cost will significantly overstate or understate the value of the service received, the recipient not-for-profit entity may elect to recognize that service received at either: (a) the cost recognized by the affiliate for the personnel providing that service or; (b) the fair value of that service. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. A recipient not-for-profit entity may apply the amendments using a modified retrospective approach under which all prior periods presented upon the date should be adjusted, but no adjustment should be made to the beginning balance of net assets of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted.
In April 2013, FASB Accounting Standards Update 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. This ASU clarifies when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. Liquidation is the process by which a company converts its assets to cash or other assets and settles its obligations with creditors in anticipation of ceasing all of its activities. An organization in liquidation must prepare its financial statements using a basis of accounting that communicates information to users of those financial statements to enable those users to develop expectations about how much the organization will have available for distribution to investors after disposing of its assets and settling its obligations. The ASU requires organization to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is “imminent.” Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces (e.g., involuntary bankruptcy). In cases where a plan for liquidation was specified in the organization’s governing documents at inception (e.g., limited-life entities), the organization should apply the liquidation basis of accounting only if the approved plan for liquidation differs from the plan for liquidation that was specified in the organization’s governing documents. The ASU requires financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis to present relevant information about a company’s resources and obligations in liquidation, including the following:
l | The organization’s assets measured at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation, including any items it had not previously recognized under U.S. GAAP that it expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities (e.g., trademarks). |
l | The organization’s liabilities as recognized and measured in accordance with existing guidance that applies to those liabilities. |
l | Accrual of the costs it expects to incur and the income it expects to earn during liquidation, including any anticipated disposal costs. |
This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted.
63 |
In June 2013, FASB Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. This ASU sets forth a new approach for determining whether a public or private company is an investment company. The ASU also clarifies the characteristics and sets measurement and disclosure requirements for an investment company. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is not allowed.
This guidance is a result of the efforts of the FASB and the IASB to develop a consistent approach for determining whether a company is an investment company, for which fair value of investments is the most relevant measurement for the company’s financial statement users. The ASU affects the scope, measurement, and disclosure requirements for investment companies under U.S. GAAP.
Under the ASU, a company regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is considered an investment company for accounting purposes. All other companies must assess whether they have the following characteristics to be considered an investment company:
(a) The company obtains funds from investor(s) and provides the investor(s) with investment management services;
(b) The company commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose and only substantive activities are investing the funds for returns solely from capital appreciation, investment income, or both;
(c) The company or its affiliates do not obtain or have the objective of obtaining returns or benefits from an investee or its affiliates that are not normally attributable to ownership interests or that are other than capital appreciation or investment income;
(d) The company has multiple investments;
(e) The company has multiple investors;
(f) The company has investors that are not related to the parent or investment manager;
(g) The company’s ownership interests are in the form of equity or partnership interests; and
(h) The company manages substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
To be considered an investment company, a company must have all the fundamental characteristics of (a) through (c) above. Typically, an investment company also has characteristics (d) through (h). However, if a company does not possess one or more of the typical characteristics, it must apply judgment and determine, considering all facts and circumstances, how its activities continue to be consistent (or are not consistent) with those of an investment company.
An investment company also will be required to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. In addition, an investment company will be required to make the following additional disclosures: (a) the fact that the company is an investment company and is applying specialized guidance; (b) information about changes, if any, in a company’s status as an investment company; and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees.
In July 2013, The FASB has published Accounting Standards Update 2013-09, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Disclosures for Nonpublic Employee Benefit Plans in Update No. 2011-04. This ASU defers indefinitely certain disclosures about investments held by nonpublic employee benefit plans in their plan sponsors’ own nonpublic equity securities. The ASU was approved by the FASB on June 12, 2013. ASU No. 2013-09, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Disclosures for Nonpublic Employee Benefit Plans in Update No. 2011-04, applies to disclosures of certain quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurement for investments held by certain employee benefit plans.
64 |
In July 2013, The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to UST and LIBOR. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges.
Before the amendments in this ASU, only UST and, for practical reasons, the LIBOR swap rate, were considered benchmark interest rates. Including the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) as an acceptable U.S. benchmark interest rate in addition to UST and LIBOR will provide risk managers with a more comprehensive spectrum of interest rate resets to utilize as the designated benchmark interest rate risk component under the hedge accounting guidance.
The amendments apply to all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting of the benchmark interest rate. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013.
In July 2013, The FASB has issued ASU No. 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 (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).
U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.
This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted
