NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(UNAUDITED) |
NOTE 1 | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION |
China Interactive Education, Inc (“CIE” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 28, 2000 for the purpose of developing online internet community portals. On December 4, 2009, the Company changed its legal domicile from Delaware to Nevada by merging into a wholly-owned subsidiary, China Interactive Education, Inc., which the Company established in the State of Nevada for the sole purpose of effecting the change of domicile to Nevada, which the Company deeded to be a more favorable jurisdiction with a well recognized body of corporate law and no state income tax. The Company’s name was changed from Find the World Interactive, Inc. to China Interactive Education, Inc. On December 11, 2009, the Company completed a reverse acquisition of MenQ Technology Group Limited (“MenQ”).
As of March 31, 2010, details of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are as follows:
| Place and date of | | |
Subsidiaries’ names | incorporation | Paid-up capital | Principal activities |
| | | |
MenQ Technology Group Limited (“MenQ”) | British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) July 2, 2009 | $50,000 | Intermediate holding company |
Wisegate International Limited (“Wisegate”) | BVI May 30, 2007 | $50,000 | Licensing of a patent of a global positioning systems (GPS) technology and as an intermediate holding company |
Menq International Limited (“MenQ HK”) | Hong Kong July 28, 2006 | HK$10,000 | Development and sales of electronic products |
Clever Aim Development Limited (“Clever Aim”) | Hong Kong August 3, 2009 | HK$10,000 | Intermediate holding company |
MenQ Technology Limited (“MenQ China”) | People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) December 25, 2008 | RMB1,000,000 | Development and sales of electronic learning products |
Reverse Acquisition
On December 11, 2009, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (“Share Exchange Agreement”) under which the Company issued 60,400,000 shares of the Company, to the sole shareholder of MenQ in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of MenQ (the “Share Exchange”). Immediately following the Share Exchange, the shareholder of MenQ owned approximately 92.9% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital on an as-if converted and fully-diluted basis.
As a result, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of accounting, whereby MenQ is deemed to be the accounting acquirer and the CIE to be the accounting acquiree. The financial statements before the date of Share Exchange are those of MenQ with the results of CIE being consolidated from the date of Share Exchange. The equity section and the earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition and no goodwill has been recorded.
MenQ Technology Group Limited (“MenQ”) is a company incorporated with limited liability on July 2, 2009 in the British Virgin Islands, with a registered and paid up capital of $50,000.
On September 8, 2009, the Company changed its name from Mighty Genius Holdings Limited to MenQ Technology Group Limited.

NOTE 1 | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) |
MenQ of its own has not carried out any substantive operations except for investment holding. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MenQ primarily engages in the development and sales of electronic products based on a computer programming technology.
Since their incorporation, 100% of the equity interests in Wisegate and Clever Aim have always been held by MenQ.
Restructuring
On September 7, 2009, pursuant to a restructuring plan (“Restructuring”), MenQ through Wisegate, acquired 100% equity interests in MenQ HK from Mr. Chen Ruofei and another minority shareholder, who are both PRC residents.
On October 10, 2009, also pursuant to the Restructuring, MenQ through Clever Aim, acquired 100% equity interests in MenQ China from Mr. Chen Ruofei, Mr. Chen Tiannan and other minority shareholders, who are all PRC residents. On October 10, 2009, the local government of the PRC issued the certificate of approval regarding the change in shareholding of MenQ China and its transformation from a PRC domestic company to a wholly-foreign owned enterprise.
On September 21, 2009, as part of the Restructuring, Mr. Chen Ruofei, Mr. Chen Tiannan and other minority shareholders (“MenQ HK and MenQ China Former Shareholders”) through Future Billion Limited (“Future Billion”, a company incorporated in the BVI, established and controlled by MenQ HK and MenQ China Former Shareholders), entered into an option agreement (“Option Agreement”) with Mr. Liu Hai Qi (the “Granter”, the sole legal shareholder and director of MenQ).
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Future Billion obtained the right and option to acquire all outstanding shares (“Option Shares”) in MenQ at an exercise price of $1 per share during the exercise period of five years commencing on the ninetieth day after the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act to be filed by a United States public reporting shell company, with which MenQ intends to enter into a share exchange agreement for the purposes of a reverse merger with that shell company.
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Granter further agrees, among others, that throughout the exercise period of the Option Agreement, without the prior written approval of Future Billion:
(i) he will not increase the number of authorized shares of the MENQ’s common stock;
(ii) he will keep available the services of current officers and employees of MENQ and its subsidiaries;
(iii) MENQ and its subsidiaries do not declare, accrue, set aside or pay any dividend or make any other distribution, nor do they repurchase, redeem or otherwise reacquire any equity of shares of capital stock or other securities;
(iv) MENQ and its subsidiaries do not sell or otherwise issue any equity, shares of capital stock or any other securities.
The primary purpose of the Option Agreement is to enable MenQ HK and MenQ China Former Shareholders to reacquire ultimate controlling legal ownership of MenQ HK and MenQ China in compliance with regulatory requirements of the PRC.
During and after the Restructuring, there has been no change to the composition of the board of directors of MenQ HK and MenQ China. The boards of directors of MenQ HK and MenQ China have continued to comprise representatives of HK Menq and MenQ China Former Shareholders. Therefore, MenQ HK and MenQ China are still under the same operating and management control of MenQ HK and MenQ China Former Shareholders. As a result of the Option Agreement, MenQ HK and MenQ China Former Shareholders, through Future Billion, continue to bear the residual risks and rewards relating to MenQ HK and MenQ China. As a result, the Restructuring has been accounted for as a recapitalization of MenQ HK and MenQ China with no adjustment to the historical basis of their assets and liabilities. The Restructuring has been accounted for using the "as if" pooling method of accounting and the operations were consolidated as if the Restructuring had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented and the current corporate structure had been in existence throughout the periods covered by these financial statements.

Foreign Currency - continued
The value of RMB against U.S. dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of U.S. dollar reporting.
Fair value
ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level1- | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level2- | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
Level3- | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and payables, and short-term debts approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
There were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions in ASU 2009-17, “Consolidation (ASC Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities”, which changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2009-17 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU 2010-01, “Equity (ASC Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”, which clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allow them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in earnings per share and is not considered a stock dividend for purposes of ASC Topic 505 and ASC Topic 260. The adoption of the provisions in ASU 2010-01 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 9 | STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY |
On December 11, 2009, which was the date of the Share Exchange as set out in Note 1, the Company issued 60,400,000 shares of the Company, to the sole shareholder of MenQ in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares of MenQ.
NOTE 10 | STATUTORY RESERVES |
In accordance with the PRC Companies Law, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries were required to transfer 10% of their profits after tax, as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations of the PRC, to the statutory surplus reserve and a percentage of not less than 5%, as determined by management, of the profits after tax to the public welfare fund. With the amendment of the PRC Companies Law which was effective from January 1, 2006, enterprises in the PRC were no longer required to transfer any profit to the public welfare fund. Any balance of public welfare fund brought forward from December 31, 2005 should be transferred to the statutory surplus reserve. The statutory surplus reserve is non-distributable.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.
All per share data including earnings per share (EPS) has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse acquisition on December 11, 2009 whereby the 60,400,000 shares of common stock issued by the Company (nominal acquirer) to the shareholder of CIE (nominal acquiree) are deemed to be the number of shares outstanding for the period prior to the reverse acquisition. For the period after the reverse acquisition, the number of shares considered to be outstanding is the actual number of shares outstanding during that period.

Overview of Our Business
Through our Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries, we are an education solutions company that provides new era educational concepts, equipment and products to educational institutions including elementary, middle and high schools, professional training schools, and to individual students in China. We were organized to meet what we believe is an unmet need for educational resources throughout the PRC. Based on the PRC government’s statistical yearbook for 2007, the government invests more than $104 billion on education each year.However, just as economic development is not even throughout the PRC, there is an uneven allocation of educational resources in the PRC. In general, only students who pass the numerous national examinations, which are given at various stages of the educational process, can obtain better educational opportunities at a higher level. We believe that this examination-oriented education has created a market for products to improve the efficiency and performance of students and teachers.
Our principal businesses include (1) the provision of new era e-classroom and e-library solutions, (2) the distribution of computer based ELPs embedded with Beijing Normal University’s educational materials in computer programs and with self developed wireless technology and (3) the design and manufacture of GPS products via ODMs and OEMs based on self-developed technology.
On May 20, 2009, we entered into a three-year partnership agreement with Beijing Normal University, one of the top teaching universities in China with a 100-year history. Under this joint strategic partnership, we cooperate in the development of various aspects of IT applied in education. As a result of this collaboration, we founded the IT Applied in Education Institute in May, 2009 to conduct joint research and development of cutting edge interactive education methodologies and content, applying computer and internet technologies for use in education. The IT Applied in Education Institute focuses on the computerization of education systems and the digitization of supplemental study systems, including, but not limited to: (a) cost effective mini intelligent terminals and software suitable for access of high-speed 3G wireless networks; (b) terminals with embedded educational software platforms; (c) virtual experiment labs and sensor-based lab networks; and (d) specific internet service platforms for teachers and students. Under the partnership agreement, Beijing Normal University has authorized us to exclusively promote and distribute our jointly researched and developed products. We share the right to use such products, and we share 50% of the net profits from our sale of our jointly researched and developed products.
- 19 -
A majority of our revenues are derived from (1) sales of comprehensive sets of ELPs, including hardware with educational content certified and authorized by Beijing Normal University under the partnership agreement and (2) development fees from customers for providing educational content in computer programs. In the past, the majority of our revenue was generated from distributing our self-developed technologies in GPS and education products to overseas customers. Starting from 2009, we have been shifting our focus to the education market in the PRC. We plan to expand our sales network to all primary and secondary schools in all provinces of China with the help of educational policies, such as “The Tenth Five-Year Development Outline for Educational Information Technology,” for the development of IT in education and computerized teaching matters, and to the individual electronic ELP market.

During the 2010 period, the Company changed its principal business from providing product and licensing fees, or PLFs, to providing educational learning products, or ELPs, under its own “Five Best Students” brand. The increase in revenue reflects acceptance of this change by our customers.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales increased $1.2 million, or 99%, to $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $1.2 million for the same period in 2009. The cost of goods sold per sales ratio changed from 38% to 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increment in cost of sales represents the difference in cost structure in providing licensing revenue and product revenue, in connection with the Company’s change from providing PLFs to providing ELPs during the 2010 period.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 39%, to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $2.0 million for the same period in 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 34% and 62% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in gross profit represents the different gross margin in providing licensing revenue in the 2009 period and product revenue in the 2010 period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. In the three months ended March 31, 2010, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 563%, to $2.2 million, from $0.3 million for the same period in 2009. During the 2010 period, the Company incurred expense on a marketing campaign regarding its change in business and to build up its own “Five Best Students” brand. The cost of advertisement related to brand building in the first quarter of 2010 totaled approximately $1.2 million.
Other Income.Other income decreased $128, or 69%, to $58 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $186 during the same period in 2009. The decrease in other income represents less bank income earned from a decreased bank balance in the 2010 period.
(Loss) income Before Income Taxes. Our income before income taxes decreased by $2.6 million, or 164%, to ($1.0) million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $1.6 million for the same period in 2009, primarily due to increased marketing expenses during the 2010 period.
Income Taxes. We incurred income tax expenses of $nil and $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a 100% decrease. See “Taxation” above for more information. The Company generated negative income before income tax in the first quarter of 2010 and so no income taxes were incurred during the period.
Net Income. In the three months ended March 31, 2010, we generated a net loss of $1.0 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 177%, from $1.3 million for the same period in 2009, as a result of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $180,762, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, augmented by short-term bank borrowings and equity contributions by our stockholders.
Cash Flow
(all amounts in U.S. dollars)
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 287,521 | | $ | 1,831,592 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | (42,920 | ) | | (295,955 | ) |
Net cash used in financing activities | | (415,530 | ) | | (1,794,015 | ) |
Effects of Exchange Rate Change in Cash | | 147 | | | (7,857 | ) |
Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents | | (170,782 | ) | | (266,235 | ) |
Cash and Cash Equivalent at Beginning of the Year | | 351,544 | | | 440,000 | |
Cash and Cash Equivalent at End of the Year | $ | 180,762 | | $ | 173,765 | |
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $1.8 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2009. The decrease from period to period was primarily attributable to the Company’s transition of principal business during the 2010 period, from providing PLFs to providing ELPs and the expense incurred in marketing activities related to the change.
- 22 -
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $42,920, as compared to $295,955 for the same period in 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, the net cash used in investing was mainly attributable to acquisition of plant and equipment.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.4 million, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period. During the first quarter of 2010, the net cash used in financing was mainly attributable to repayment of amount due from directors. The amount contributed by directors was used to finance the Company’s working capital with interest-free.
We believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will meet our present cash needs for the next 12 months. We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to ramp up our marketing efforts and increase brand awareness, or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Obligations under Material Contracts
On May 20, 2009, we entered into a partnership agreement with Beijing Normal University. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, we are required to pay no less than RMB 1 million (approximately USD$147,060) per year to Beijing Normal University for research and development purposes. We were required to pay RMB 300,000 (approximately USD$44,200) within 15 working days after the establishment of the IT Applied in Education Institute and are required pay the remaining amount in no less than RMB 150,000 (approximately USD$22,060) increments every three months. This agreement is for a term of three years. On August 2, 2009, we entered into a supplemental agreement with Beijing Normal University, pursuant to which we agreed to share 50% of the net profits from our sale of jointly researched and developed products under the partnership agreement.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change in travel industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
Seasonality
We may experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue in some regions in the PRC, based on the academic year and the tendency of parents and students to make purchases relating to their education just prior to or at the beginning of the school year in the autumn. Moreover, our revenues are usually higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year and the second quarter is usually the slowest quarter because China’s educational institutions normally procure ELP in first and third quarters. Any seasonality may cause significant pressure on us to monitor the development of materials accurately and to anticipate and satisfy these requirements.
