DAHUA, INC.
1. Nature of operations
Dahua, Inc. (“Dahua”) was incorporated on March 8, 2002, in the State of Delaware as Norton Industries Corp. (“Norton”). The name was changed to Dahua, Inc. on February 7, 2005, as result of a reverse acquisition in which Norton acquired all capital shares of Bauer Invest Inc. ("Bauer"). Incident to the reverse acquisition the Company paid $100,000 to the previous shareholders of Norton for shares of stock that were canceled. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger, as the post acquisition owners and control persons of Dahua are substantially the same as the pre-acquisition owners and control persons of Bauer and the $100,000 paid to purchase and cancel the previous shares was treated as an adjustment to paid in capital.
Bauer Invest Inc. was incorporated on December 10, 2003, under the laws of the Territory of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Bauer has had no operations other than the acquisition of 80% of Beijing Dahua Real Estate Development, Ltd. (“Subsidiary”) on May 25, 2004. The Subsidiary is a corporation established on September 24, 2001, in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger, as the post acquisition owners and control persons of Bauer are substantially the same as the pre- acquisition owners and control persons of the subsidiary. These financial statements are essentially those of the Subsidiary with a recapitalization to show the effects due to the reverse mergers. The consolidated entity is hereafter referred to as ‘the Company’.
The Company engages in the development of real estate and the sale of commodity housing. The Company has completed all of the construction on its current development project and all of the houses are sold or available for sale.
2. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dahua, Inc., Bauer Invest, Inc. and Beijing Dahua Real Estate Development, Ltd. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company records minority interest expense, which reflects the 20% portion of the earnings of Beijing Dahua Real Estate Development, Ltd. allocable to holders of the minority interest.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC. All necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Economic and Political Risks
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges as a result of having primary operations and markets in the PRC. Changing political climates in the PRC could have a significant effect on the Company’s business.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks. Deposits held in financial institutions in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency.
Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount becomes questionable. The Company had no trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2008.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of land acquisition and development costs, engineering, infrastructure, capitalized interest, and construction costs. The inventories are valued at cost based on the level of completion using the weighted-average method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Computer equipment | | | 3 years | |
Office equipment | | | 7 years | |
Vehicles | | | 7 years | |
Depreciation expense for the three months periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $26,214 and $15,155, respectively.
Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed annually to assess whether the carrying value has become impaired, according to the guidelines established in Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company also evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. No impairment of assets was recorded in the periods reported.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of a house when the consummation of a sale is evidenced by: 1) a contractual arrangement that is binding to both parties; 2) the exchange of all consideration (i.e. the seller has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership and the buyer has
made payment in full to the seller); 3) the arrangement of all permanent financing for which the seller is responsible and; 4) the performance of all conditions precedent to closing. No revenue is recognized when the Company’s receivable is subject to future subordination, as is the case when the Company guarantees a bank loan for the period prior to the certification of title transfer.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $0 and $219,198 for the three months periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States (“US”) dollars. The functional currency is the Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”) of the PRC. The financial statements are translated into US dollars from RMB at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
During July 2005, China changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed RMB/US dollar exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of China’s government. We used the Closing Rate Method in translation of the financial statements.
RMB is not freely convertible into the currency of other nations. All such exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. There is no guarantee the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at rates used in translation.
Taxes
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. 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 reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. Nearly all differences in tax bases and financial statement carrying values are permanent differences. Therefore, the Company has recorded no deferred tax assets or liabilities.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method. The numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted EPS are presented in the following table:
| | For the three months ended | |
| | March 31, 2008 | | March 31, 2007 | |
| | | | | |
NUMERATOR FOR BASIC AND DILUTED EPS | | | | | |
Net income (loss) to common stockholders | | $ | (47,551 | ) | $ | 109,824 | |
| | | | | | | |
DENOMINATORS FOR BASIC AND DILUTED EPS | | | | | | | |
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding | | | 25,000,000 | | | 25,000,000 | |
| | | | | | | |
Add: dilutive equity securities outstanding | | | — | | | — | |
| | | | | | | |
Denominator for diluted EPS | | | 25,000,000 | | | 25,000,000 | |
| | | | | | | |
EPS-Basic | | $ | (0.00 | ) | $ | 0.00 | |
| | | | | | | |
EPS-Diluted | | $ | (0.00 | ) | $ | 0.00 | |
The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding at March 31, 2008.
4. Inventory
Inventory represents completed houses available for sale at March 31, 2008. During 2005, the Company completed all of its construction-in-progress. As of March 31, 2008, 60 units were sold, 13 units were reserved with clients’ deposits, 2 units were available for sale and one unit was kept by the company.
5. Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents the cost of the new building, which the Company is constructing. The new building will have four stories. The Company plans to use two stories for its office and administration, and give out the other two stories (lease free) to the home owner association. The home owner association will hire a third party to collect usage fee and maintain the facilities at their cost. As of March 31, 2008, the balance of construction in progress was $978,439 (including capitalized interest of $20,599).
6. Related Party Transactions
Short-term loans due to related parties had balances of $791,392 (including accrued interest of $159,501) at March 31, 2008. The loans carry an annual interest rate of 6 percent and are due on demand. The interest amounts, which were accrued for the three months periods ended March 31, 2008, were capitalized as construction in progress.
7. Customer deposits
Customer deposits consist of down payments received on sales contracts for houses. When all of the conditions set forth in the Company’s revenue recognition policy are met, the Company will recognize the down payments as revenue. The aggregate of the customers’ deposits at March 31, 2008 was $5,229,423. Of the 13 units reserved, 3 unit’s deposits are money received from bank arrangements (see note 8) in the amounts of $975,922. Accordingly, the bank has liens against these 3 units.
8. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company entered into an agreement with two banks that extended mortgage loans to its home buyers, where the Company agrees to provide a certain limited guarantee, which covers the risk before the conveyance of title upon closing. Upon initiating the loan on behalf of the buyer for the down payment, the Banks have withheld 5% of the loan, which was a percentage ranging from 5% to 20% in June 2006, and deposited such funds into a segregated account in each bank. At March 31, 2008, the balance of this separate account was $707,535. Since the Company does not recognize revenue when its receivables are subject to future subordination, the entire amount that could become payable to the bank under the limited guarantee is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and is included in customer deposits, as is explained in note 7.
9. Tax
The Company made no provision for sales tax and income tax for the three months periods ended March 31, 2008 for the reason that no sales revenue was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The houses that the company reserved didn’t meet the requirement of revenue recognition.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company has a prepaid tax of $276,218.
10. Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 80,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2008, there were 25,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
11. Contingencies
The Company has not, historically, carried any property or casualty insurance. No amounts have been accrued for any liability that could arise from the lack of insurance. Management feels the chances of such an obligation arising are remote.
Deposits in banks in the PRC are not insured by any government entity or agency, and are consequently exposed to risk of loss. Management believes the probability of a bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote.
12. Other receivables
Other receivables primarily represent loans due from outside parties. As of March 31, 2008, the balance of other receivables (including accrued interest) was $2,129,239. The loans due from outside parties carry an annual interest rate of 6 percent and are due within two years.
13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Statements No.141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141(R)") and No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("FAS 160"). These standards aim to improve, simplify, and converge internationally the accounting for business combinations and the reporting of noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The provisions of FAS 141 (R) and FAS 160 are effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the provisions of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160.
In March of 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 has the same scope as Statement No. 133 but requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. SFAS No. 161 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
The discussion in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management of the Company as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements can be identified by their use of such verbs as "expect," "anticipate," "believe," or similar verbs or conjugations of such verbs. If any of these assumptions prove incorrect or should unanticipated circumstances arise, the actual results of the Company could materially differ from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We, through our subsidiary Beijing Dahua Real Estate Development Ltd., are engaged in the business of development, construction and sale of luxury residential single-family homes in Beijing, China. In
July 2003, we began to develop our first real estate project, Dahua Garden (the "First Phase"), which consists of 76 luxury residential units, all of which are single-family houses ranging from approximately 2,000 to 5,000 square feet, each with 3 - 4 bedrooms. The construction site is located at the northern skirt of Beijing, China. The construction began in July 2003 and was completed in December 2005. As of March 31, 2008, out of 76 luxury residential units, 60 units have been sold, 13 units were reserved with clients' deposits, 2 units were available for sale and one unit was kept by the company.
We are currently in the process of applying with Beijing municipal and Changping district government agencies for the requisite licenses, permits, and approvals in order to start our Second Phase of Dahua Garden, which will include 250 units of luxury single-family houses located in Changping District, Beijing, China, on an approximately 267,000 square-meter site with a community clubhouse, creeks, ponds, and professionally manicured gardens and landscape. Each will be 3,000 to 5,000 square feet in size to be sold for 4.5 to 6 million Yuan, or approximately $550,000 to $720,000 US. We will serve as the sole developer of the project, including construction and sales.
In August 2006, the Chinese government issued a number of new rules and regulations for real estate developers, like us, in an attempt to reduce rising house prices by restricting luxury single family house constructions and favoring construction of apartment buildings. Under the government’s new policy, (i) no single family houses can be built, if the construction has not started, without special construction permits; (ii) All permits previously issued have to be re-reviewed and re-approved; and (iii) the land previously acquired for luxury housing construction has to be revalued and sold to the highest bidder in an auction. Because of those new government policies, we have incurred a long delay in obtaining the consents and approvals to commence our construction for the second phase of Dahua Garden. On May 9, 2007, we contacted the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, the agency which is responsible for the issuance of construction permits, for our construction approval time frame guidance. We were told two weeks later that our construction permit is very much likely to be issued for two reasons: (1) We have completed our First Phase of Dahua Garden; and (2) We acquired this land almost ten (10) years ago. It is expected that we may obtain our construction approvals by the middle of 2008. However, there is no assurance that we will obtain those consents or the necessary government approvals. If the consents and approvals are not obtained, we may have to cease our Second Phase of single luxury family house operations, and change our business plan to build apartment buildings. As the governmental policy regarding the auctioning off of land previously acquired for luxury housing construction is vague, and no specific or detailed outline has been issued, we are basing our business plan on the assumption that if we do not receive the permits and licenses required to build luxury housing, we will instead build apartment buildings. As of the date of this report, we don’t have any current plan or arrangements for the development of apartment buildings. In the event the situation changes and we believe that there is a likely possibility of the land being auctioned, we will notify the Commission.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized sales revenues of $0 and $3,127,922 respectively from the sale of our housing units.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of land acquisition and development costs, engineering, infrastructure, capitalized interest, and construction costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, our cost of goods sold was $0 and $2,111,563, respectively.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our operating expenses were $93,307, a decrease of $690,914, or 88.1%, as compared to $784,221 for the same period of the prior year.
Net Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had a net loss of $47,551, or $0.00 per share, as compared with a net income of $109,824, or $0.00 per share, for the same period of the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, our operations have been primarily funded by equity capital, unsecured short-term loans from Dahua Project Management Group ("Dahua Group"), our affiliate, and customer deposits that we received from our pre-sale of housing units.
After receiving the Residential Housing Pre-sale Permit issued by the government, we are permitted to sell the residential units to be built to the public, which is common practice in China. Upon execution of a binding purchase contract between the developer and a homebuyer, a deposit and installment payments are required to be made to the developer, which we use to construct our residential housing units. As of March 31, 2008, our customer deposit balance was $5,229,423.
We also borrow from time to time based on a verbal line of credit agreement from Dahua Group, our affiliate. The funds borrowed are unsecured and there is no upper limit on the amount of money that we can borrow as long as there are funds available and we need it for our operations. The money we borrow under this arrangement bears interest at an annual rate of 6%, repayable within 30 days upon demand by the lender. As of March 31, 2008, the short-term loans due to related parties had a balance of $631,891, and accrued interest of $159,501.
As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents balance of $25,520. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our operating activities used $274,450 of net cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our investing activities used $1,934,196 of net cash, mainly from the increase in other receivables. For the same period, the financing activities provided net cash of $303,018 as a result of proceeds from related party loans.
Our First Phase of Dahua Garden was completed in December 2005. We are currently applying with Beijing municipal and Changping district governmental agencies for all the requisite licenses, permits, and approvals to start our Second Phase of Dahua Garden. It is estimated that approximately $60.5 million is needed to complete the Second Phase. In addition to customer deposits, and short-term loans (line of credit) from Dahua Group, the proceeds generated from sale of the First Phase will also be used to finance the Second Phase development. There are no material commitments for capital expenditures.
While there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds over the next twelve months, we believe that funds generated from the sale of our First Phase of Dahua Garden housing units, purchaser deposits from pre-sale contracts, and the line of credit provided by our affiliate, Dahua Group, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating expenses, capital expenditure and debt obligations for at least the next twelve months. Nevertheless, our continuing operating and investing activities may require us to obtain additional sources of financing. In that case, we may seek financing from institutional investors, banks, or other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that any necessary additional financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We entered into an agreement with two banks that extended mortgage loans to our home buyers, where we agree to provide a certain limited guarantee, which covers the risk before the conveyance of title upon closing. Upon initiating the loan on behalf of the buyer for the down payment, the Bank has withheld a percentage ranging from 5% to 20% of the loan and deposited such funds into a segregated account in each bank. At March 31, 2008, the balance of this separate account was $707,535. Since the Company does not recognize revenue when its receivables are subject to future subordination, the entire amount that could become payable to the bank under the limited guarantee is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and is included in customer deposits.
(i) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
(ii) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, except as follows:
On December 6, 2006, we identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to construction interest accounting. The amount of $51,220 interest expense was incorrectly shown as capitalized construction interest. These material weaknesses resulted in the restatements of our previously reported financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2006. The restatement resulted in (i) an increase in net loss of $40,736 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006; (ii) a decrease in total assets of $50,920; and (iii) a decrease in stockholders' equity of $40,736. The restatement has no impact on the statement of cash flows.
In connection with this restatement, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and identified the following deficiencies:
(a) We lacked adequate resources with sufficient technical expertise to properly account for construction in accordance with U.S. general accepted according principles; and
(b) We lacked consistent and effective review and supervision to ensure that the review of accounts entries supporting our construction interest provision was conducted in sufficient detail by someone other than the preparer of such entries.
Over the past six months, we have taken steps to strengthen our ability to identify and resolve GAAP construction accounting issues as they arise. Specifically, we have implemented new controls and procedures to substantially mitigate the risks associated with the material weaknesses identified above:
(1) We provided additional training to our accounting staff on the requirements of the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to increase their familiarity with those standards, and ensure their proper application of the U.S. GAAP to various transactions, including construction accounting, and other financial statements matters;
(2) We designated an experienced individual who is expected to provide additional review over our presentation and disclosure in financial statements and to provide further technical accounting expertise in applying U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and
(3) We adopted procedures to conduct additional detailed transaction review and control activities to confirm that our financial statements for each period, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial positions, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) We adopted procedures to solicit the services of the outside consulting firm to assist in complex and non-routine accounting transactions.
Our CEO and CFO do not expect that our internal controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. Although our internal controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also 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.
