BASSET ENTERPRISES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION (JUNE 4, 1999) THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Basset Enterprises, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) (the Company) was formed on June 4, 1999 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s activities to date have been primarily directed towards the raising of capital and seeking business opportunities.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation - Development Stage Company
The Company has not earned any revenue from operations. Accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise" as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities”, which was previously Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 ("SFAS 7"). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company's inception.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and, in the opinion of management, include all normal adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2009 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and the period from inception (June 4, 1999 through September 30, 2009). The results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices and applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed on Form 10-K.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 may not be indicative of our results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.
New Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01)
In June 2009, FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), have been superseded by the Codification. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become nonauthoritative. The Codification did not change GAAP, but instead introduced a new structure that combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The
Codification is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In the current quarter financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification.
Subsequent Events
(Included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events”)
SFAS No. 165 established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued (“subsequent events”). An entity is required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. For public entities, this is the date the financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other GAAP and did not result in significant changes in the subsequent events reported by the Company. SFAS No. 165 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not impact the Company’s financial statements. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. No recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
(Included in ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”, previously FSP SFAS No. 142-3
“Determination of the Useful Lives of Intangible Assets”)
FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amended the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previously issued goodwill and intangible assets topics. This change was intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under topics related to business combinations and other GAAP. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Th e adoption of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 did not impact the Company’s financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests
(Included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51”)
SFAS No. 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests such that they will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. The Company
implemented SFAS No. 160 at the start of fiscal 2009 and no longer records an intangible asset when the purchase price of a noncontrolling interest exceeds the book value at the time of buyout. Any excess or shortfall for buyouts of noncontrolling interests in mature restaurants is recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. Any shortfall resulting from the early buyout of noncontrolling interests will continue to be recognized as a benefit in partner investment expense up to the initial amount recognized at the time of buy-in. Additionally, operating losses can be allocated to noncontrolling interests even when such allocation results in a deficit balance (i.e. book value can go negative).
The Company presents noncontrolling interests (previously shown as minority interest) as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets. Minority interest expense is no longer separately reported as a reduction to net income on the consolidated income statement, but is instead shown below net income under the heading “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.” The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have any other material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — Amended
(To be included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities regarding certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 167 in fiscal 2010 and does not anticipate any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. The Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangeme nts that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A shareholder of the Company has paid expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for a payable bearing no interest and due on demand. Total amount paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $8,717. The balance payable to the shareholder at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $12,243 and $3,526 respectively.
As of November 7, 2008 a shareholder forgave $28,863 of payables. The amount is recorded as other income for the period from inception (June 4, 1999 through September 30, 2009).
NOTE 5 EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
As of July 31, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors and the consenting majority shareholders, adopted and approved resolutions to effect a one-for-fifteen (1-for-15) reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective on September 3, 2008.
The effect of the Reverse Split was to reduce the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 1,965,200 to approximately 131,014 shares issued and outstanding. The Reverse Split affected all of the holders of all classes of the Company’s common stock uniformly and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that resulted from the rounding of fractional shares. The Reverse Split did not cause a reduction in the Company’s 50,000,000 shares of authorized common stock.
September 11, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company authorized the issuance of approximately 4,868,978 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) for services rendered by a contractor to the Company. The total value was $20,000.
On November 7, 2008, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement by and between Mid-Continental Securities Corp., (“Seller”) and Madam Sun Keqing and A. Epstein and Sons International, Inc. (collectively referred to as “Buyers”), Madam Sun Keqing purchased 3,782,075 shares of common stock in the Company from Seller, and A. Epstein and Sons International, Inc. purchased 667,425 shares of common stock in the Company from Seller. Buyers purchased an aggregate of 4,449,500 shares of common stock in the Company which represents approximately 88.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. As a result of the share purchase, Madam Sun Keqing acquired voting control of the Company.
In conjunction with the share purchase transaction between Buyers and Seller, on November 7, 2008, Jose Acevedo resigned from his position as a director of the Registrant, and Cosmo Palmieri resigned as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Registrant. Neither Mr. Acevedo, nor Mr. Palmieri’s resignations were due to disagreements with the Company.
On November 7, 2008, the board of directors of the Registrant appointed Madam Sun Keqing as the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and a director of the Registrant to fill the vacancies created Mr. Acevedo and Mr. Palmieri’s resignations. Madam Sun Keqing does not have any employment agreements with the Company.

Overview and Recent Developments
Basset Enterprises, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 4, 1999. To date, the Company's only activities have been organizational ones, directed at developing its business plan and raising its initial capital. The Company has not commenced any commercial operations. The Company has no full-time employees and owns no real estate. The Company is currently a "shell" company with no or nominal operations and no or nominal assets. The Company’s current business plan is to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies with the intent that, if such investigation warrants, a reverse merger transaction be negotiated and completed pursuant to which the Company would acquire a target company with an operating business, with the intent of continuing the acquired company's business as a publicly held entity. The Company has limited capital with which to provide the owners of the target co mpany with any significant cash or other assets and, as such, the Company will only be able to offer owners of a target company the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in the Company.
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Company expects to continue its efforts to locate a suitable business acquisition candidate and thereafter to complete a business acquisition transaction. The Company anticipates incurring a loss for the fiscal year as a result of expenses associated with compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and expenses associated with locating and evaluating acquisition candidates. The Company does not expect to generate revenues until it completes a business acquisition, and, depending upon the performance of the acquired business, it may also continue to operate at a loss after completion of a business combination. The Company is currently exploring potential business transactions, including the possibility of pursuing a business transaction with a construction company located in the Peoples Republic of China; no definitive agreements have been entered into regarding any potential transaction.
During the next twelve (12) months, the Company will require additional capital in order to pay the costs associated with carrying out its plan of operations and the costs of compliance with its continuing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. This additional capital will be required whether or not the Company is able to complete a business combination transaction during the current fiscal year. Furthermore, once a business combination is completed, the Company’s needs for additional financing are likely to increase substantially.
No specific commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or other stockholders, and the Company has no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings to raise additional capital through the sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the location of a merger or acquisition candidate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover its expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, to the extent that additional funds are required, the Company anticipates that it will either continue to rely on its majority shareholder to pay expenses on its behalf, or it will seek to raise capital through the private placement of restricted securities. The majority shareholders are under no obligation to pay such expenses. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, it will not be able to pursue its business plan . In addition, in order to minimize the amount of additional cash which is required in order to carry out its business plan, the Company might seek to compensate certain service providers by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2009, the Company remains in the development stage. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s balance sheet reflects total assets of $nil and total current liabilities of $14,140. The Company has cash on hand of $nil and a deficit accumulated in the development stage of $38,865. The Company does not have sufficient assets or capital resources to pay its on-going expenses while it is seeking out business opportunities, and it has no current plans to raise additional capital through sale of securities. As a result, although the Company has no agreement in place with its shareholders or other persons to pay expenses on its behalf, it is anticipated that the Company will continue to rely on its majority shareholders to pay expenses on its behalf at least until it is able to consummate a business transaction. The majority shareholders are under no obligation to pay such expenses.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
