NOTE - 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited and unreviewed condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 which has been derived from audited financial statements and these unaudited and unreviewed condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. The results for the period ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 or for any future period.
These unaudited and unreviewed condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.
NOTE - 2 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Environment Ecology Holding Company of China (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on September 14, 1989 as “First New York Investments, Inc.” On November 25, 1996, the Company changed its name to “Computer Access International, Inc.” On March 31, 2005, the Company changed its name to “Dispatch Auto Parts, Inc.” On November 2, 2007, the Company further changed its name to “Environment Ecology Holding Company of China.”
The Company, through its subsidiaries, mainly engages in the provision of landscape engineering service in the PRC.
On November 8, 2006, the Company entered a stock exchange transaction with Shaanxi Lv Bao Environmental Eco Industry Management Ltd. (“Lv Bao”) and the transaction was effectively completed on February 6, 2007. Lv Bao was registered as a limited liability company in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on August 11, 2006 with its principal place of business in Xian City, Shaanxi Province, the PRC. Its registered capital is Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) 5,000,000 (equivalent to $628,773). Its principal activity was investment holding in Shaanxi Li Bao Sheng Tai Ke Ji Gu Fen You Xian Gong Si (“Li Bao”). Upon completion of the plan of exchange, Lv Bao became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On August 30, 2006, the owners of Lv Bao entered into an exchange agreement with the owners of Li Bao. This exchange transaction involved that Li Bao’ s equity owners transferred the aggregate equity interest of 93.57% of the registered capital of Li Bao ( equivalent to RMB65,500,000) to Lv Bao . The transaction was an exchange of shares and no cash or other assets were exchanged in the transaction was taken place. Following the completion of the equity transfer, Li Bao became an operating subsidiary of Lv Bao with 93.57% controlling interest.
The above two consecutive transactions have been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Lv Bao, whereby Li Bao is deemed to be the ultimate accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the ultimate accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The accompanying consolidated financial statements are in substance those of Li Bao, with the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, of the Company being included effective from the date of stock exchange transaction. The Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of Li Bao, through its immediate holding company, Lv Bao.
Starting from January 1, 2008, the Company has commenced in the operation in Walnut plantation.
EVEH, Lv Bao and Li Bao are hereinafter referred to as (the “Company”).
NOTE - 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of EVEH and its subsidiaries.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. The Company assesses collectibility based upon our clients’ financial condition and prior payment history, as well as our performance under the contract. The Company recognizes these revenues in the period that the service is provided.
(a) Contract revenue
The Company applies the percentage-of-completion method under SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, to recognize revenues for landscape design and engineering projects that require significant modification or customization subject to the customers. The Company records a provision in those instances in which the Company believe a contract will probably generate a net loss and the Company can reasonably estimate this loss. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate the loss, the Company limits the amount of revenue that the Company recognizes to the costs the Company has incurred, until the Company can estimate the total loss. Advance payments from customers and amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as receipt in advance.
The Company derives revenues from the sales and production of walnut products. The Company recognizes its revenues net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT at the rate of 6% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales while input VAT is not allowed for deduction from the invoiced value of purchases.
Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
Cost of revenue primarily includes purchase of raw materials for landscape design and engineering projects, manufacturing cost of walnut products, sub-contracting charges and direct overhead.
| l | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of Six Months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
| l | Billed and unbilled accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts |
The Company generally bills its customers under its long term contracts pursuant to billing schedules contained in the contracts or, upon completion of agreed milestones or deliveries, with each milestone or delivery typically having a value specified in the contract. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. As of December 31, 2008, an allowance for doubtful accounts was is not required.
Unbilled accounts receivable comprise principally amounts of revenue recognized on contracts for which invoices have not been issued. It is expected that all unbilled accounts receivable balances will be billed in the next twelve months.
Walnut plantation, which includes purchase cost of leasehold land, land improvement cost and saplings, is stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization of leasehold land and includes no estimated future reforestation cost. The cost of walnut plantation harvested is based on the volume of walnut harvested in relation to the estimated volume of walnut recoverable. Leasehold land is amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of lease due 2039. The Company estimates its walnut inventory using statistical information and data obtained from physical measurements and other information gathering techniques. The cost of walnut saplings purchased and reforestation costs are capitalized at the time of acquisition. Walnut plantation carrying costs are expensed as incurred. The value of the walnut plantation will be reviewed each reporting period and should be tested for impairment.
| l | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| Depreciable life | | Residual value |
Leasehold improvement | 10 years | | 5% |
Plant and machinery | 10 years | | 5% |
Motor vehicles | 10 years | | 5% |
Office equipment | 5 years | | 5% |
Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Depreciation expense for the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $22,694 and $26,051, respectively.
Intangible asset refers to the purchased technical know-how in the Walnut plantation technology acquired from the Research Center in the PRC, an independent third party at its historical cost. Purchased technical know-how includes secret formulas, manufacturing processes, technical and procedural manuals to operate the walnut plantation business. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over the expected useful life of 10 years.
Amortization expense for the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $4,372 and $0, respectively.
| l | Valuation of long-lived assets |
Long-lived assets primarily include property, plant and equipment, walnut plantation and intangible asset. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Determining the fair value of long-lived assets includes significant judgment by management, and different judgments could yield different results. There has been no impairment as of December 31, 2008 or 2007.
| l | Research and development |
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred in the development of new processes including significant improvements and refinements of existing products. Such costs mainly relate to labor and material cost. The Company incurred $498,604 and $0 of such costs during the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
The Company accounts for income tax using SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from loss carry-forwards and provisions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected in the years of recovery or reversal and the effect from a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company also adopts Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" and FSP FIN 48-1, which amended certain provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company analyzed the filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company adopted the policy of recognizing interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions or benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the Six Months ended December 31, 2008.
The Company conducts major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the local and foreign tax authority.
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
| l | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollars ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in its local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:
| | | December 31, 2008 | | | June 30, 2008 |
| | | | | | |
Month-end RMB:US$ exchange rate | | | 6.855 | | | 7.496 |
Average monthly RMB:US$ exchange rate | | | 6.864 | | | 7.560 |
| l | Stock-based compensation |
The Company adopts SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” using the fair value method. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the stock-based compensation is measured using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation that is expected to vest is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.
The Company also applies Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to other than Employees for Acquiring, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services” (“EIFT 96-18”), with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees.
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. Commencing from January 1, 2008, the Company operates two reportable segments: Landscape Business and Plantation Business.
| l | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash and cash equivalents, billed and unbilled accounts receivable, amount due to a stockholder, other receivables and prepayments, income tax payable and other payables and accrued liabilities.
As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to short maturities of these instruments.
| l | Recently issued accounting standards |
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. The Company believes that SFAS 141R should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that SFAS No. 160 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company'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. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
In May, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The FASB has stated that it does not expect SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in current practice. The application of SFAS No. 162 will have no effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Also in May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" ("SFAS No. 163"). SFAS No. 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 163 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled by the issuer fully or partially in cash. FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years after December 15, 2008, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this FSP on the convertible debt issuances.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities" ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance of FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings-per-share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and all prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this FSP on the earnings per share calculation.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5"). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this EITF 07-5 on the financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
As used herein the terms "we", "us", "our," the “Registrant,” “EVEH” and the "Company" means, Environment Ecology Holding Company Of China, f/k/a Dispatch Auto Parts Inc., a Florida corporation. These terms also refer to our subsidiary corporations, Shaanxi Lv Bao Environmental Eco Industry Management Ltd. ("Lv Bao"), and Shaanxi Li Bao Sheng Tai Ke Ji Gu Fen You Xian Gong Si (“Li Bao”), both of which organized and existing under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China acquired in February 2007.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We were incorporated on September 14, 1989 under the name First New York Investment, Inc. On November 25, 1996, we filed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Florida to change the corporate name to Computer Access International, Inc. On or about March 4, 2005, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dispatch Auto Parts II, Inc. ("Dispatch II") and invested $6,000 to pay for Dispatch II's organizational expenses and funding of the initial operations of Dispatch II. After the incorporation, we changed our corporate name to Dispatch Auto Parts, Inc. and began the wholesale business for automotive parts and accessories. Dispatch II was disposed on February 14, 2007 pursuant to the agreement between us, Dispatch II and Daniel Slocum, our former president. On May 8, 2007, we filed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Florida to change the corporate name to Environment Ecology Holding Company of China for more accurate description of our current operations and to be consistent with our marketing efforts in the landscaping construction and design industry.
On November 8, 2006, EVEH (accounting acquiree) executed a Plan of Exchange with Lv Bao (accounting acquirer), the shareholders of Lv Bao and the Majority Shareholder of the EVEH, pursuant to which EVEH issued the new 26,000,000 investment shares of Common Stock and 100,000 shares of our Preferred Stock to the Lv Bao shareholders pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in exchange for all of their shares of registered capital of Lv Bao. As a result, Lv Bao, and its 93.57%-owned subsidiary, Li Bao, became the subsidiaries of EVEH. The transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by the accounting acquirer and as a re-organization by the accounting acquiree.
Since the completion of the Plan of Exchange, which was on February 6, 2007, we have continued operations of Li Bao. The Company is experienced in urban landscaping industry. The landscaping projects include landscape construction and maintenance for public parks, communities, schools, memorials, convention centers, squares, hotels, highway's side view, and so on, some of which were granted as landmarks in the local cities. The detailed services cover:
• | gardeners |
• | landscape contractors |
• | landscape architects |
• | irrigation experts |
• | pest management professionals/applicators |
• | arborists |
• | sod growers |
• | golf course maintenance staff and suppliers |
• | groundskeepers |
• | botanical gardens |
Before the commencement of the landscape construction, the Company provides the clients with floor plans, effect layout, and construction blueprint, and gets the approval for their design from the clients. The Company has its own designers experienced in landscaping. The effects from humanism, history and local climate will be integrated in the design. The Company also has self-owned equipment for landscape construction and maintenance projects, including five large tractors, two lawn mowers, three automatic sprinkling irrigators, one compactor, two watering trucks, two separating-sowing machines, drilling machines and various trucks for different functions.
In September 2007, the Company acquired the technical training for Walnut Plantation Technology from an independent party, the Research Center in the PRC.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of EVEH and its subsidiaries.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. The Company assesses collectibility based upon our clients’ financial condition and prior payment history, as well as our performance under the contract. The Company recognizes these revenues in the period that the service is provided.
(a) Contract revenue
The Company applies the percentage-of-completion method under SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”, to recognize revenues for landscape design and engineering projects that require significant modification or customization subject to the customers. The Company records a provision in those instances in which the Company believe a contract will probably generate a net loss and the Company can reasonably estimate this loss. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate the loss, the Company limits the amount of revenue that the Company recognizes to the costs the Company has incurred, until the Company can estimate the total loss. Advance payments from customers and amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as receipt in advance.
The Company derives revenues from the sales and production of walnut products. The Company recognizes its revenues net of value added taxes (“VAT”). The Company is subject to VAT at the rate of 6% on the invoiced value of sales. Output VAT is borne by customers in addition to the invoiced value of sales while input VAT is not allowed for deduction from the invoiced value of purchases.
Interest income is recognized on a time apportionment basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.
Cost of revenue primarily includes purchase of raw materials for landscape design and engineering projects, manufacturing cost of walnut products, sub-contracting charges and direct overhead.
| l | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of Six Months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
| l | Billed and unbilled accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts |
The Company generally bills its customers under its long term contracts pursuant to billing schedules contained in the contracts or, upon completion of agreed milestones or deliveries, with each milestone or delivery typically having a value specified in the contract. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. As of December 31, 2008, an allowance for doubtful accounts was is not required.
Unbilled accounts receivable comprise principally amounts of revenue recognized on contracts for which invoices have not been issued. It is expected that all unbilled accounts receivable balances will be billed in the next twelve months.Walnut plantation, which includes purchase cost of leasehold land, land improvement cost and saplings, is stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization of leasehold land and includes no estimated future reforestation cost. The cost of walnut plantation harvested is based on the volume of walnut harvested in relation to the estimated volume of walnut recoverable. Leasehold land is amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of lease due 2039. The Company estimates its walnut inventory using statistical information and data obtained from physical measurements and other information gathering techniques. The cost of walnut saplings purchased and reforestation costs are capitalized at the time of acquisition. Walnut plantation carrying costs are expensed as incurred. The value of the walnut plantation will be reviewed each reporting period and should be tested for impairment.
| l | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| Depreciable life | | Residual value |
Leasehold improvement | 10 years | | 5% |
Plant and machinery | 10 years | | 5% |
Motor vehicles | 10 years | | 5% |
Office equipment | 5 years | | 5% |
Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Depreciation expense for the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $22,694 and $26,051, respectively.
Intangible asset refers to the purchased technical know-how in the Walnut plantation technology acquired from the Research Center in the PRC, an independent third party at its historical cost. Purchased technical know-how includes secret formulas, manufacturing processes, technical and procedural manuals to operate the walnut plantation business. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over the expected useful life of 10 years.
Amortization expense for the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $4,372 and $0, respectively.
| l | Valuation of long-lived assets |
Long-lived assets primarily include property, plant and equipment, walnut plantation and intangible asset. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Determining the fair value of long-lived assets includes significant judgment by management, and different judgments could yield different results. There has been no impairment as of December 31, 2008 or 2007.
| l | Research and development |
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred in the development of new processes including significant improvements and refinements of existing products. Such costs mainly relate to labor and material cost. The Company incurred $498,604 and $0 of such costs during the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
The Company accounts for income tax using SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from loss carry-forwards and provisions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected in the years of recovery or reversal and the effect from a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company also adopts Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" and FSP FIN 48-1, which amended certain provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company analyzed the filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company adopted the policy of recognizing interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions or benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the Six Months ended December 31, 2008.
The Company conducts major businesses in the PRC and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the local and foreign tax authority.
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
| l | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollars ("US$"). The Company's subsidiaries in the PRC maintain their books and records in its local currency, Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:
| | | December 31, 2008 | | | June 30, 2008 |
| | | | | | |
Month-end RMB:US$ exchange rate | | | 6.855 | | | 7.496 |
Average monthly RMB:US$ exchange rate | | | 6.864 | | | 7.560 |
| l | Stock-based compensation |
The Company adopts SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” using the fair value method. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the stock-based compensation is measured using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based compensation that is expected to vest is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.
The Company also applies Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to other than Employees for Acquiring, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services” (“EIFT 96-18”), with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees.
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. Commencing from January 1, 2008, the Company operates two reportable segments: Landscape Business and Plantation Business.
| l | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash and cash equivalents, billed and unbilled accounts receivable, amount due to a stockholder, other receivables and prepayments, income tax payable and other payables and accrued liabilities.
As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to short maturities of these instruments.
| l | Recently issued accounting standards |
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. The Company believes that SFAS 141R should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--An Amendment of ARB No. 51, or SFAS No. 160" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that SFAS No. 160 should not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company'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. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
In May, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The FASB has stated that it does not expect SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in current practice. The application of SFAS No. 162 will have no effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Also in May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" ("SFAS No. 163"). SFAS No. 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 163 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled by the issuer fully or partially in cash. FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years after December 15, 2008, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this FSP on the convertible debt issuances.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities" ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance of FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings-per-share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and all prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this FSP on the earnings per share calculation.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("EITF 07-5"). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this EITF 07-5 on the financial condition and results of operations.
