CHINA YIDA HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
China Yida Holding, Co. (“the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) engages in tourism and advertisement business through its subsidiaries in People's Republic of China.
Keenway Limited was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on May 9, 2007 for the purpose of functioning as an off-shore holding company to obtain ownership interests in Hong Kong Yi Tat International Investment Co., Ltd (“Hong Kong Yi Tat”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. Immediately prior to the Merger (defined below), Mr. Chen Minhua and his wife, Ms. Fan Yanling, were the majority shareholders of Keenway Limited.
On November 19, 2007, we entered into a share exchange and stock purchase agreement with Keenway Limited, Hong Kong Yi Tai, and the then shareholders of Keenway Limited, including Chen Minhua, Fan Yanling, Zhang Xinchen, Extra Profit International Limited, and Lucky Glory International Limited (collectively, the “Keenway Limited Shareholders”), pursuant to which in exchange for all of their shares of Keenway Limited common stock, the Keenway Limited Shareholders received 2,272,582 newly issued shares of our common stock and 91,045 shares of our common stock which was transferred from some of our then existing shareholders (the “Merger”). As a result of the closing of the Merger, the Keenway Limited Shareholders owned approximately 94.5% of our then issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis and Keenway Limited became our wholly owned subsidiary.
Hong Kong Yi Tat is an entity that was created solely as the holding company for the operating entities, Fujian Jintai Tourism Industrial Development, Co, Ltd., and Fujian Jiaoguang Media, Co., Ltd., and Fujian Yunding Tourism Industrial Co., Ltd., and Fujian Yida Tulou Tourism Development Cp. Ltd. Hong Kong Yi Tat does not have any operations.
Fujian Jintai Tourism Developments Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Jintai”) operates the tourism segment of our business. Its primary business relates to the operation of our tourism destinations, specifically, the Great Golden Lake.
Fujian Jintai Tourism Developments Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Jintai”) operates the tourism segment of our business. Its primary business relates to the operation of our tourism destinations, specifically, the Great Golden Lake. Fujian Jintai owns 100% of the ownership interest in Fuzhou Hongda Commercial Services Co., Ltd. (“Hongda”). Hongda does not have any operations.
On March 15, 2010, Fuzhou Hongda Commercial Services, Ltd (“Fuzhou Hongda”) entered into an equity transfer agreement with Fujian Yunding Tourism Industrial Co., Ltd (“Fujian Yunding”), pursuant to which Fuzhou Yunding acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fuzhou Fuyu Advertising Co., Ltd (“Fuzhou Fuyu”) from Fuzhou Hongda at the aggregate purchase price of RMB 3,000,000. On March 15, Fujian Jintai Tourism Developments Co., Ltd (“Fujian Jintai”) entered into an equity transfer agreement with Fujian Yunding, pursuant to which Fujian Yunding acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Fuzhou Yintai Tourism Co., Ltd (“Fuzhou Yintai”) from Fujian Jintai at the aggregate purchase price of RMB 5,000,000. On March 16, 2010, Fujian Yunding formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Yongtai Yunding Resort Management Co., Ltd. (“Yuding Resort Management”) with its official address at No. 68 Xianfu Road, Zhangcheng Town, Yongtai County, China. Since the ownership of Fuzhou Hongda, Fujian Yunding, Fuzhou Fuyu, Fujian Jintai and Fuzhou Yintai were the same and they were under the control of Hong Kong Yi Tat, so the equities transfer was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, whereby the Company recognized the equities transferred at their carrying amounts.
On March 16, 2010, Fujian Yunding formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Yongtai Yunding Resort Management Co., Ltd. (“Yuding Resort Management”) with its official address at No. 68 Xianfu Road, Zhangcheng Town, Yongtai County, China.
On April 12, 2010, we changed the company name of our operating subsidiary “Fujian Yunding Tourism Industrial Co., Ltd” to “Yida (Fujian) Tourism Group Limited”.
Yida (Fujian) Tourism Group Limited (f/k/a Fujian Yunding Tourism Industrial Co., Ltd, “Yida Tourism”) is engaged in the operations of our current tourism destinations, specifically the Yunding tourist destination, and the development of new tourist projects, specifically the China Yang-sheng (Nourishing Life) Paradise and the Ming Dynasty Entertainment World. Yida Tourism has 3 wholly-owned subsidiaries: Fujian Yintai, Fuzhou Fuyu and Yongtai Yunding Resort Management. Yida (Fujian) Tourism currently owns 100% of Yongtai Yunding Resort Management Co., Ltd, Fuzhou Fuyu Advertising Co., Ltd.and Fujian Yintai Tourism Co., Ltd.
Fujian Yida Tulou Tourism Development Cp. Ltd’s primary business relates to the operation of our tourism destinations, specifically, Hua’An Tulou cluster tourist destination.
Fujian Jiaoguang Media Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Jiaoguang”) concentrates on the mass media segment of our business. Its primary business is focused on advertisements, including media publishing, television, cultural and artistic communication activities, and performance operation and management activities.
The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R") (ASC 810), an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R (ASC 810) requires a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE's residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of these entities. The results of subsidiaries or variable interest entities acquired during the year are included in the consolidated income statements from the effective date of acquisition.
ACCOUNTING AFTER INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF VIE - Subsequent accounting for the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest of a consolidated variable interest entity are accounted for as if the entity were consolidated based on voting interests and the usual accounting rules for which the VIE operates are applied as they would to a consolidated subsidiary as follows:
carrying ● amounts of the VIE are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company as the primary beneficiary (referred as "Primary Beneficiary" or "PB");
inter-company ● transactions and balances, such as revenues and costs, receivables and payables between or among the Primary Beneficiary and the VIE(s) are eliminated in their entirety; and
INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF VIE- The Company initially measures the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests of the VIEs at their fair values at the date of the acquisitions.
Because Jiaoguang and the Company’s contractual relationship comply with FIN 46R (ASC 810), the Company consolidated Jiaoguang’s financial statements as VIE.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes which are part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The functional currency of our operating , Changchun Yongxin Dirui Medical Co., Ltd is Chinese Renminbi; however the accompanying financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars ($).
b. Principle of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Jintai, Fuyu, Hongda, Yunding, Tulou, Yintai, Hong Kong Yi Tat and the accounts of the variable interest entities, Jiaoguang, collectively “the Company”. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
c. Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount 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 results.
d. Cash and cash equivalents
For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
e. Accounts receivable
The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable of $7,401 and $2,003, net of allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $19,945 and $0, respectively.
f. Advances and Prepayments
The Company advances to certain vendors for purchase of its construction material and necessary service. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the prepayments amounted to $1,509,319 and $1,432,138, respectively. Long term prepayments amounted to $1,009,347 and $1,012,230, respectively.
g. Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvement that extends the life of property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 5 to 20 years for house & building; 5 to 8 years for electronic equipment; 8 years for transportation equipment; 5 to 8 years for office furniture; 26 years for lease improvements.
h. Impairment
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS No. 144"), (ASC 360) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FAS No. 144 (ASC 360) requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and construction in progress, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
i. Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of service rendered to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the services rendered, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
Revenues from advance resort ticket sales are recognized when the tickets are used. Revenues from our contractors who have tourism contracts with us are generally recognized over the period of the applicable agreements commencing with the tourists visit the resort.
The Company sells the television air time to third parties. The Company records advertising sales when advertisements are aired. The Company also sells admission and activities tickets for a resort which the Company has the management right.
The Company has no product return or sales discount allowance because service rendered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after service is rendered.
j. Advertising costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $106,304 and $56,892, respectively.
There is a contract in force during the period from August 1, 2003 to July 31, 2010 between a related party (Xinhengji, XHJ) and a state-owned television station that provides for prepaid airtime to be purchased and utilized by the related party in return for payment of RMB 5,000,000 and purchase of suitable programming for the station in the amount of an additional RMB 5,000,000 (Educational Programming). XHJ is 80% owned by a shareholder of the Company and 20% owned by such shareholder’s mother.
XHJ has signed a contract with the Company assigning the Company to manage the commercial of the TV station. The Company shall pay RMB 5,000,000 for the air time and XHJ is obligated to pay RMB 5,000,000 to purchase the TV programs and is entitled to revenue other than the commercial revenue. It also states that if the Company helps XHJ to purchase the TV programs and if pays equal to or more than RMB 5,000,000 then the Company does not have to pay RMB 5,000,000 for airtime anymore. Any amount paid over RMB 5,000,000 by the Company will be the Company’s expenses and will not be reimbursed by XHJ. The advertising costs incurred are charged as cost of sales against specific airtime segments.
k. Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
l. Foreign currency translation
The Company uses the United States dollar ("U.S. dollars") for financial reporting purposes. The Company's subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, the Company translates the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of income is translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gain or loss on foreign currency transactions are reflected on the income statement. Gain or loss on financial statement translation from foreign currency are recorded as a separate component in the equity section of the balance sheet, as component of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company ’subsidiaries in China is the Chinese Renminbi and the functional currency of the US parent is the US dollar.
m. Fair values of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", (ASC 825) requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments.
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepaid expenses, fixed, accounts payable, other payable, tax payable, and short and long term loans.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
n. Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation expense pursuant to SFAS 123R (ASC 718), "Share Based Payment.” SFAS 123R (ASC 718) requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee's requisite service period. Under SFAS 123R (ASC 718), the Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of Company’s stock or the expected volatility of similar entities. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards expected to vest, and there were no estimated forfeitures as the Company has a short history of issuing options. SFAS 123R (ASC 718) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
o. Earning per share (EPS)
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), Earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 (ASC 260) superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Earnings per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. (ASC 260) Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Basic and diluted earning per share was $0.38 and $0.37 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. Basic and diluted earning per share was $0.07 and $0.07 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.
p. Segment reporting
ASC 250 (SFAS 131), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company is organized into two main business segments: tourism and media. The primary business relates to tourism and, specifically, tourism at the Great Golden Lake and Tulou. The Company offers bamboo rafting, parking lot service, photography services and ethnic cultural communications. The primary media business related is focused on advertisements, including media publishing, television, cultural and artistic communication activities, and performance operation and management activities.

r. Recent accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51.” If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-10 –Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This update defers the effective date of the amendments to the consolidation requirements made by FASB Statement 167 to a reporting entity’s interest in certain types of entities. The deferral will mainly impact the evaluation of reporting enterprises’ interests in mutual funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate investment entities that measure their investment at fair value, real estate investment trusts, and venture capital funds. The ASU also clarifies guidance in Statement 167 that addresses whether fee arrangements represent a variable interest for all service providers and decision makers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 –Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. Embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting as clarified by recently issued FASB guidance. Other embedded credit-derivative features are required to be analyzed to determine whether they must be accounted for separately. This update provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. The guidance is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Our Corporate History and Structure
Keenway Limited was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on May 9, 2007 for the purpose of functioning as an off-shore holding company to obtain ownership interests in Hong Kong Yi Tat International Investment Co., Ltd (“Hong Kong Yi Tat”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. Immediately prior to the Merger (defined below), Mr. Chen Minhua and his wife, Ms. Fan Yanling, were the majority shareholders of Keenway Limited.

A copy of the equity transfer agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2. On March 16, 2010, Fujian Yunding formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Yongtai Yunding Resort Management Co., Ltd. (“Yuding Resort Management”) with its official address at No. 68 Xianfu Road, Zhangcheng Town, Yongtai County, China.
On April 12, 2010, we changed the company name of our operating subsidiary “Fujian Yunding Tourism Industrial Co., Ltd” to “Yida (Fujian) Tourism Group Limited” to better reflect our strategy of expanding our business operations in China by extending our business model through acquiring or collaborating with other domestic tourism destinations.
The following chart illustrates our current corporate structure:
● | Hong Kong Yi Tat is an entity that was created solely as the holding company for the operating entities, Fujian Jintai Tourism Industrial Development, Co, Ltd., and Fujian Jiaoguang Media, Co., Ltd., and Fujian Yida (Fujian) Tourism Group Limited, and Fujian Yida Tulou Tourism Development Co.. Ltd. Hong Kong Yi Tat does not have any operations. |
● | Fujian Jintai Tourism Developments Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Jintai”) operates the tourism segment of our business. Its primary business relates to the operation of our tourism destinations, specifically, the Great Golden Lake. Fujian Jintai owns 100% of the ownership interest in Fuzhou Hongda Commercial Services Co., Ltd. (“Hongda”). |
● | Yida (Fujian) Tourism Group Limited (f/k/a Fujian Yunding Tourism Industrial Co., Ltd, “Yida Tourism”) is engaged in the operations of our current tourism destinations, specifically the Yunding tourist destination, and the development of new tourist projects, specifically the China Yang-sheng (Nourishing Life) Paradise and the Ming Dynasty Entertainment World. Yida Tourism has 3 wholly-owned subsidiaries: Fujian Yintai, Fuzhou Fuyu and Yingding Tourism Management. |
● | Fujian Yida Tulou Tourism Development. Ltd’s primary business relates to the operation of our tourism destinations, specifically, Hua’An Tulou cluster tourist destination. |
● | Fujian Jiaoguang Media Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Jiaoguang”) concentrates on the mass media segment of our business. Its primary business is focused on advertisements, including media publishing, television, cultural and artistic communication activities, and performance operation and management activities. |
We do not have a direct ownership interest in Fujian Jiaoguang. On December 30, 2004, Jiaoguang and its shareholders entered into a set of contractual arrangements with us which governs the relationships between Fijian Jiaoguan and us. The Contractual Arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including a Consulting Agreement and an Operating Agreement, through which we have the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Fujian Jiaoguang, and collect and own all of Fujian Jiaoguang’s respective net profits. Additionally, under a Proxy and Voting Agreement and a Voting Trust and Escrow Agreement, the shareholders of Fujian Jiaoguang have vested their voting control over Fujian Jiaoguang to the Company. In order to further reinforce the Company’s rights to control and operate Fujian Jiaoguang, Fujian Jiaoguang and its shareholders have granted us, under an Option Agreement, the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in the Fujian Jiaoguang or, alternatively, all of the assets of Fujian Jiaoguang. Further, the shareholders of Fujian Jiaoguang have pledged all of their rights, titles and interests in Fujian Jiaoguang to us under an Equity Pledge Agreement. We effectuated this organizational structure due to China’s limitations on foreign investments and ownership in Chinese domestic businesses. Generally, the Chinese law prohibits foreign entities from directly owning certain types of businesses, such as the media industry. We have obtained an opinion from Allbright Law Office, our Chinese legal counsel, that this structure is legal and valid and that the U.S. holding corporation can obtain the same benefits and risks with this contractual structure as it would with a direct equity ownership.
Our Business
The Great Golden Lake
The Great Golden Lake was recognized as the Global Geopark by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (“UNESCO”) in February 2005. It is located in Taining, surrounding Sanming, Nanping of Fujian Province and Nanchang of Jiangxi Province. This world-class tourist attraction covers more than 230 square kilometers, including five (5) main scenic areas: (1) Golden Lake; (2) Shangqing River; (3) Zhuangyuan Rock; (4) Luohan Mountain; and (5) Taining Old Town.
In 2001, we entered into a tourism management revenue sharing agreement with Taining government, to operate and to manage the Great Golden Lake destination from 2001 through 2032. We have invested $30 million to improve the infrastructure, and through a well-designed marketing campaign, we have succeeded in increasing the number of the visitors from approximately 30,000 in 2001 to approximately 637,000 in 2009. Currently most visitors to the Great Golden Lake are from Fujian, Shanghai, Guangdong and Jiangxi. With easier transportation and increased marketing, we expect that the Great Golden Lake will attract more visitors from other provinces of China and even foreign countries. Our revenue from the operations of the Great Golden Lake is generated from entrance ticket fees and parking fees.
Hua’an Tulou Cluster (or the “Earth Buildings”)
The Tulou Cluster, composed of large multilayer earth buildings built by ancient wealthy families as their residence, is known for their unique round shape, ingenious structure and oriental mystery. The Tulou Cluster was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2008 by UNESCO. The Tulou Cluster is approximately 1.5 hour drive away from Xiamen City, one of China’s most famous tourist coastal cities.
In December 2008, we entered into a Tourist Resources Development Agreement with Hua’an County Government effective until 2048. Pursuant to this agreement, we began to develop the Hua’an Tulou tourist destinations with a right of priority to develop other scenic areas in Hua’an County. Hua’an Tulou cluster requires a total capital input of approximately $7.5 million to put it into infrastructure and facility constructions. The Hua’an Tulou Cluster was closed during the construction and re-opened to the public before the fourth quarter of 2009. Currently, approximately half of its visitors are from overseas, including Taiwan. We expect our revenue to be generated from the sale of entrance ticket fees, fees from rides on tour cars, and food at our restaurants.
Yunding Recreational Park
In November 2008, we entered into the Tourist Destination Cooperative Development Agreement with Yongtai County Government effective until 2048. Pursuant to the agreement, we obtained the exclusive right to develop the Yunding scenic areas, which is approximately 50 kilometer from Fuzhou. We plan to invest approximately $40 million to build the tourism, transportation and entertainment facilities. By the end of 2009, we had already invested approximately $33 million. And we expect to generate revenue from entrance fees, cable cars and other entertainment activities. We expect that the Yunding Recreational Park will be open to public during the second half of 2010.

Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between Fujian Education TV Station and Fujian Jiaoguang, our subsidiary, we gained 7 years management rights from the Fujian Education TV Station, from August 1, 2003 to July 31, 2010 (the “Initial Management Term”), to operate FETV at a fixed annual payment of RMB 10,000,000. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Fujian Jiaoguang has an option to extend the Initial Management Term for an additional 5 years term commencing on July 31, 2010 (the “Extended Management Term”), provided, that we agree to a 20% increased annual payment for the management rights during the Extended Management Term, and accept other amendments to provisions in the Management Agreement.
Under the management contract, we obtained the full rights to provide programming and content and content management services and to re-sell all advertising airtime of FETV. We have leveraged the FETV assets to produce high quality TV programming focused on tourism, successfully promoting our own tourist attractions branding the FETV station around the tourism theme and creating a network of potential partners for our tourism business, including hotels, travel agents, and entertainment resorts.
“Journey through China on the Train”
In February 2009, we entered into a six-year exclusive agreement with China Railway Media Center to create “Journey through China on the Train” infomercial programs, a part of China Railway Media Center’s master media program – CRTV that is usually 1 or 2 hours in length. We will produce customized 20-minute episode according to different routes of rail lines as part of CRTV to focus on China’s natural resources, culture and the history of tourism destinations, tourism advertisement and travel tips. The infomercial programs will be broadcast on7 railway lines into Tibet, all high speed motor trains in China with TV panels and cable TV channels covering 18 railway bureaus. We will pay an annual fee of approximately $46,154 or RMB 300,000 to Railway Media Center for the first three years and approximately $53,846 or RMB 350,000 for the second three years. We will generate revenue from selling embedded advertisements. At the end of 2009, “Journey through China on the Train” was shown on 31 railroad lines with 440 trains.

The increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in the number of visitor arrivals to the Great Golden Lake from approximately 128,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to approximately 161,000 in the same period ended March 31, 2010, which resulted in a revenue growth of approximately $1.63 million, and (ii) approximately $1.17 million in revenue generated by the Hua’an Tulou Cluster which was in not in operations in the first quarter of 2009.
Cost of Revenue:
Cost of revenue increased by $1,422,100 or approximately 94.76%, from $1,500,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $2,922,850 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to (i) a higher amount of business tax payment (5% business tax rate) due to our revenue increase in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2010, and (ii) auditing adjustments to our profit sharing payments to local governments for tourist destination operations by moving it from Operating Expense to Cost of Revenue.
Our cost of revenue from advertisement for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,826,018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,372,523., representing an increase of $453,495 or approximately 33.04%. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) a higher amount of business tax payment due to a revenue increase generated by our tourism business in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2010, and (ii) increased production and promotion costs incurred by our “Journey through China on the Train” infomercial program.
Our cost of revenue from tourism for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,096,832 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $128,226. This was an increase of $968,606 or approximately 755.39%. The substantial increase was the result of (i) a higher amount of business tax payment due to a revenue increase generated by our media business, (ii) additional costs incurred by the Hua’an Tulou Cluster which is newly open to public, and (iii) auditing adjustments to our profit sharing payment to local government for tourist destination operations by moving it from Operating Expense to Cost of Revenue.
Gross profit:
Our gross profit increased by $3,557,793, or approximately 42.75%, from $8,322,156 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $11,879,949 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales revenue) was approximately 80.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the gross profit margin of approximately 84.72% for the same period in 2009. This slight decrease in our gross profit margin was primarily due to an increase in operating and promotion costs incurred by the Hua’an Tulou Cluster and the “Journey through China on the Train” infomercial program which both are in their early stage development.
Operating Expenses:
Our operating expenses were $2,262,528 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1,632,845 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, which represents an increase of $629,683, or approximately 38.56%. The increase in our operating expenses was primarily due to increased maintenance and promotion costs incurred by our current business operations.
Income from Operations:
Operating profit was $9,617,421 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $2,928,110, or approximately 43.77%, to the $6,689,311 reported in the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Income Tax
Income tax was $2,501,196 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing an increase of $770,395 or approximately 44.51%, to the $1,730,801 income tax in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to our increased operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Net Income:
As a result of the above factors, we have a net income of $7,134,049 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net income of $4,970,874 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing an increase of $2,163,175 or 43.52%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations and proceeds from our private placement and registered direct offering in March 2008 and January 2010, respectively. These two offerings provided aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $42.6 million.
As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $31.06 million as compared to approximately $9.97 million as of March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, our working capital was approximately $27.09 million.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| | For the Three Months March 31, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | | 7,753,486 | | | | 6,703,785 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (9,053,809) | | | | (7,726,918) | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 26,682,956 | | | | 2,167,545 | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | | | (94,589) | | | | 107,624 | |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | | | 25,382,632 | | | | 1,252,036 | |
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning balance | | | 5,776,678 | | | | 8,715,048 | |
Cash and cash equivalents, ending balance | | | $ 31,064,720 | | | | $ 9,967,084 | |
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $7.75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash provided by operations of approximately $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The $1.05 million increase was primarily due to the increase in net income and decrease in other receivables.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $9.05 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $7.73 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing an increase of 1.32 million. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was attributable to an increase of net cash used in on-going tourist destination constructions.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to approximately $26.68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $2.17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This significant increase was due to the aggregate gross proceeds of $28,631,791.50 that we raised in a registered direct officer that we closed in February 2010 by selling a total of 2,489,721 shares of our common stock at $11.50 per share.
2010-2011 Outlook
In April 2010, we engaged two new tourism projects, the Ming Dynasty Entertainment World in Bengbu City, Anhui province, and the China Yang-sheng (Nourishing Life) Paradise in Zhaungshu City, Jiangxi province, which represent our commitment to expanding our business operations by applying our current business model to the development of other valuable tourist destinations throughout China. We expect both projects will complete their first phase of construction and be open to public by the end of 2012. Over the course of the next few years, we intend to further grow and expand our businesses in China’s tourism, media, entertainment and other related industry by acquiring additional tourist areas. Such acquisitions will be financed either through our revenues and cash flows or by financings and sales of our stock or other securities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of service rendered to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the services rendered, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
Revenues from advance resort ticket sales are recognized when the tickets are used. Revenues from our contractors who have tourism contracts with us are generally recognized over the period of the applicable agreements commencing with the tourists visit the resort.
The Company sells the television air time to third parties. The Company records advertising sales when advertisements are aired. The Company also sells admission and activities tickets for a resort which the Company has the management right.
The Company has no product return or sales discount allowance because service rendered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discount is normally not granted after service is rendered.
Accounts receivable
The Company's policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable of $7,401 and $2,003, net of allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $19,945 and $0, respectively.
Advances and Prepayments
The Company advances to certain vendors for purchase of its construction material and necessary service. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the prepayments amounted to $1,509,319 and $1,432,138, respectively. Long term prepayments amounted to $1,009,347 and $1,012,230, respectively.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: 5 to 20 years for house & building; 5 to 8 years for electronic equipment; 8years for transportation equipment; 5 to 8 years for office furniture; 26 years for lease improvements.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $106,304 and $56,892, respectively.
There is a contract in force during the period from August 1, 2003 to July 31, 2010 between a related party (Xinhengji, XHJ) and a state-owned television station that provides for prepaid airtime to be purchased and utilized by the related party in return for payment of RMB 5,000,000 and purchase of suitable programming for the station in the amount of an additional RMB 5,000,000 (Educational Programming). XHJ is 80% owned by a shareholder of the Company and 20% owned by such shareholder’s mother.
XHJ has signed a contract with the Company assigning the Company to manage the commercial of the TV station. The Company shall pay RMB 5,000,000 for the air time and XHJ is obligated to pay RMB 5,000,000 to purchase the TV programs and is entitled to revenue other than the commercial revenue. It also states that if the Company helps XHJ to purchase the TV programs and if pays equal to or more than RMB 5,000,000 then the Company does not have to pay RMB 5,000,000 for airtime anymore. Any amount paid over RMB 5,000,000 by the Company will be the Company’s expenses and will not be reimbursed by XHJ. The advertising costs incurred are charged as cost of sales against specific airtime segments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51.” If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-10 –Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This update defers the effective date of the amendments to the consolidation requirements made by FASB Statement 167 to a reporting entity’s interest in certain types of entities. The deferral will mainly impact the evaluation of reporting enterprises’ interests in mutual funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate investment entities that measure their investment at fair value, real estate investment trusts, and venture capital funds. The ASU also clarifies guidance in Statement 167 that addresses whether fee arrangements represent a variable interest for all service providers and decision makers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 –Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. Embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting as clarified by recently issued FASB guidance. Other embedded credit-derivative features are required to be analyzed to determine whether they must be accounted for separately. This update provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. The guidance is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Interest Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. At March 31, 2010, we had $31,064,720 in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.
Foreign Exchange Rates. The majority of our revenues derived and expenses and liabilities incurred are in Renminbi (the currency of the PRC). Thus, our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations in the currency of Renminbi. We have not tried to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by using hedging transactions. However, we may choose to do so in the future. We may not be able to do this successfully. Accordingly, we may experience economic losses and negative impacts on earnings and equity as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. At the conclusion of the period ended March 31, 2010 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
(b) Changes in internal controls. During the period covered by this report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
