ETERNAL TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Background and Critical Accounting Policies
Pursuant to an exchange agreement, Eternal Technologies Group, Inc., ("Company") formerly known as Waterford Sterling Corporation, completed its acquisition of 100% interest of Eternal Group Limited and Subsidiaries on December 12, 2002. The Company has treated the transaction as a reverse merger for accounting purposes. Following the acquisition, the former shareholders of Eternal Technology Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company, now owns approximately 85% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Eternal Technologies Group Inc.
Eternal Phoenix Company Limited was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on March 3, 2000. Pursuant to a resolution passed on September 17, 2000 Eternal Phoenix Company Limited changed its name to ETERNAL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD., ("Eternal"). Eternal is a holding company for investments in operating companies.
Eternal acquired 100% of Willsley Company Limited ("Willsley"), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Island with limited liability on May 16, 2000. Willsley's principal activity is investments and owns 100% interest in Inner Mongolia Aershan Agriculture & Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd ("Aershan").
Aershan was incorporated in the People's Republic of China ("the PRC") with limited liability on July 11, 2000 and its principal activities are to run a breeding center, transplant embryos, and to propagate quality meat sheep and other livestock breeds in Inner Mongolia.
E-Sea Biomedical Engineering Co. International Ltd. was incorporated on October 20, 2004 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. (E-Sea) E-Sea owns all of the issued and outstanding stock of E-Sea Shenzhen which owns a Chinese patent for dialysis technology and produces and markets a series of instruments for detecting breast disease specifically breast cancer by applying its image processing technology. E-Sea was acquired as of the close of business on September 30, 2005.
Inventory
Livestock inventories that are purchased for embryo transplanting, resale, or meat processing are recorded at historical cost. Estimated costs of raised livestock prior to use for embryo transplanting, sale, or meat processing are accumulated and capitalized as inventory at the balance sheet date. Embryo inventories are recorded at historical cost. Inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in first-out ("FIFO") or weighted average cost formulas. The Company reviews its inventory quarterly to identify slow moving, obsolete or otherwise impaired inventory. The identification process includes historical performance of the inventory, current operational plans for the inventory, as well as industry and customer specific trends. If actual results differ from management expectations with respect to the selling of inventories at amounts equal to or greater than their carrying amounts, an adjustment to inventories would be made.
Land lease rights and amortization
Land lease rights in Mainland China were stated at the amount of the prepayment less accumulated amortization. Amortization of land lease rights was calculated on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease of approximately 25 years. The land lease rights with respect to the Company's farm were originally purchased from the Chinese government for $6,000,000 and such rights extend through 2025. The farm is located in Wulagai Development Area in Inner Mongolia.
Foreign currency translation
The Company's reporting currency is the US$. The Company maintains no material accounts in currency of the United States of America. All of the subsidiaries maintain their books and accounts in the People's Republic of China currency, which is called Renminbi ("RMB"). Translation of the balance sheet amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the single rate of exchange on September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of 7.52 and 7.82 RMB/US$, respectively. The income statement has been translated at the average rate of exchange in effect during the year of 7.68 RMB/US$ and 7.98 RMB/US$ for the years ended December 31, 2006, respectively. No representation is made as to whether the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006 or at any other date.
The quotation of the exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
On July 21, 2005, China effectively revalued its currency by removing its "peg" against the U.S. dollar at 8.3:1 and measuring it against a basket of currencies of which the U.S. dollar is only one.
Revenue recognition
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104), revenue from the sale of livestock, mutton embryos, and raw materials is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; the merchandise is delivered to the customer and title passes; and collectibility is reasonably assured. Lease income for 2007 is recognized quarterly.
Stock-based compensation
Stock compensation expense for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and the Emerging Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in conjunction with Selling Goods or Services ("EITF 96-18"), as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.
Stock compensation expense for stock granted to employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS 123.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs - An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, beginning on January 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows but do not expect SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations.
2. Condensed Financial Statements and Footnotes
The interim consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company and include the unaudited accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 (b) Regulation S-B. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.
3. Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2007, the Company maintains bank accounts in the PRC of approximately $45,634,503.
4. Notes Payable
On August 22, 2007, the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas issued a decision involving the promissory notes in default to Tom Tedrow and Market Management LLC awarding them $636,757.86 which includes accrued interest. The full amount of this judgment had previously been reserved.
5. Income Taxes
The companies operate in several jurisdictions and may be subject to taxation in those jurisdictions.
It is management's intention to reinvest all the income attributable to the Company earned by its operations outside of the United States of America. Accordingly, no United States corporate taxes have been provided in these consolidated financial statements. The Company has a U.S. net operating loss carry forward of approximately $2,300,000 expire in years between 2022 and 2025. However a valuation allowance has been provided as management does not expect the tax benefits to be realized. No other significant deferred assets or liabilities existed at December 31, 2006. The Company's net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under current law of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), any dividends and capital gains arising from the Company's investments are not subject to income tax in the British Virgin Islands.
Companies with operations in the Peoples Republic of China may be subject to taxes for income therein. The Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises provide certain exemptions from taxation. Under current PRC law, Aershan is exempt from taxation as Aershan's operations currently benefit from a tax holiday. The tax holiday, granted by Xilingol League, which is the local government, and the central PRC government, commenced on the incorporation of Inner Mongolia Aershan Agriculture and Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd., in July 2000. The Company has benefited from this holiday since inception and anticipates that the holiday will extend through July 2008.
The tax holiday resulted in tax savings that account for substantially the entire difference between the income tax provision that would be expected using United States federal statutory tax rates and the tax provision of zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The tax provision for the corresponding period of the current year were $175,330 and $ 380,039 respectively, all from the business activities of E-Sea.
6. Contingencies
In conjunction with certain subscription agreements entered into during 2003, the Company has agreed to register the shares issued under a Form SB-2 registration statement. There were penalties for not timely meeting filing and effectiveness deadlines, and the Company received claims related to these penalties. On May 24, 2005 the Company issued convertible notes, allowing for conversion of the penalty to the Company’s common stock, to the holders of the subscription agreements who accepted settlement. One subscription agreement holder elected to not accept a convertible note and is pursuing legal action as discussed in Part II, Item 1.
The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Unless it is able to either borrow funds or sell additional shares, it will have insufficient resources to carry out its business objectives outside the PRC for the next twelve (12) months.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
We strive to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designated and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ham Langston & Brezina, L.L.P. ("HLB") conducted an audit of our financial statements for 2006 and 2005. In connection with the issuance of its report to the Board of Directors, HLB reported two material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding some elements of our system of internal controls. They noted the following specific material deficiencies.
(i) We lacked the required expertise needed to properly account for non-routine transactions, (such as the acquisition of other businesses and preparation of its required financial statement disclosure in accordance with U.S. GAAP. and SEC rules and regulations.
(ii) Accounting for derivative instruments under FASB 133
To address the weaknesses, we have hired an independent accounting firm to assist with accounting for derivatives and will seek outside accounting assistance on any further acquisition.
Other than the foregoing initiatives, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
As required by SEC rule 13a-15(b) we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President of Finance, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President of Finance concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
While we have taken or are in the process of taking the foregoing steps in order to address the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures, and, in addition, to develop and implement a formal set of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in accordance with SEC's proposed rules to adopt the internal control report requirements included in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the efficiency of the steps we have taken to date and the steps we are still in the process of completing is subject to continued management review supported by confirmation and testing by our internal and external auditors. As a result, it is likely that additional changes will be made to our internal controls.
