WEIKANG BIO-TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2008
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Weikang Bio-Technology Group Co., Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Weikang” or “the Company) was incorporated on May 12, 2004 in Florida as Expedition Leasing, Inc. (“Expedition”). The Company reincorporated to Nevada and changed to its present name on July 12, 2008, pursuant to a merger with Weikang, a wholly-owned subsidiary, with Weikang as the surviving entity. The Company is engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of health and nutritional supplements through its indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Heilongjiang Weikang Biotechnology Group Co., Ltd. (“Heilongjiang Weikang”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”).
On December 7, 2007, the Company (as Expedition) entered into an exchange agreement with Sinary Bio-Technology Holdings Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Sinary”) and its sole shareholder (the “Sinary Stockholder”), pursuant to which the Company issued 24,725,200 shares of its common stock to the Sinary Stockholder in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sinary. Concurrently, Sinary paid $650,000 to certain former shareholders of the Company, who surrendered an aggregate of 24,725,200 shares of the Company’s common stock held by them to the Company for cancellation. As a result, the Sinary Stockholder currently owns 98% of the Company. On the Closing Date, Sinary became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Prior to the acquisition of Sinary, the Company was a non-operating public shell corporation. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition and a recapitalization, and pro forma information is not presented. Transaction costs incurred in the reverse acquisition were charged to expense.
Sinary was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 31, 2007. On October 25, 2007, Sinary entered into an equity interests transfer agreement with the stockholders of Heilongjiang Weikang, a limited liability company in the PRC, to acquire 100% of the equity interests of Heilongjiang Weikang for 57 million Renminbi (“RMB”), or approximately 7.6 million US dollars.
Heilongjiang Weikang was incorporated in the Heilongjiang Province, PRC on March 29, 2005, and was formerly known as Heilongjiang Province Weikang Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd. Heilongjiang Weikang is engaged in development, manufacture and distribution of health and nutritional supplements in the PRC.
On July 22, 2008, Heilongjiang Weikang completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Tianfang (Guizhou) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Tianfang”), a Chinese limited liability company, for $15,000,000 (the “Consideration”), pursuant to a stock transfer agreement dated and entered into on June 30, 2008 by and among the Heilongjiang Weikang, Tianfang, and Tianfang’s two shareholders: Beijing Shiji Qisheng Trading Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability company (“Shiji Qisheng”) and Tri-H Trade (U.S.A.) Co., Ltd., a California corporation (“Tri-H”, and together with Shiji Qisheng collectively as the “Selling Shareholders”).
Tianfang was incorporated in the Guizhou Province, PRC in 1998. Tianfang is engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of Chinese herbal extract products and GMP certified western prescriptive medicine. The Company believes its market share can be expanded to the southern part of China through the acquisition of Tianfang.
The unaudited financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2008 audited financial statements. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 do not necessarily indicate the results for the full year ended December 31, 2009.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sinary, and the results of operations of Weikang, Sinary’s wholly-owned subsidiary;, Tianfang, Weikang’s wholly-owned subsidiary from the date of acquisition (August 1, 2008). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. There was no accounts receivable at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
WEIKANG BIO-TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2008
Inventory
Inventories are valued at a lower cost or market with cost determined on a moving weighted average basis. Costs of work in progress and finished goods comprise direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for all assets with estimated lives ranging from 3 to 20 years as follows:
Building | 20 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |
Office Equipment | 3-7 years |
Production Equipment | 3-10 years |
Land Use Right
Right to use land is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over 50 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison between the carrying amount of an asset and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is the amount that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
Income Taxes
The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are considered as the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes at inception of the business, August 31, 2007. Based on FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48. Based on FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders’ equity. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the positions taken or the amount of the positions that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Interests associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expenses and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition is met are recorded as unearned revenue.
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, which is subject to net of value-added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products are sold in the PRC and are subject to Chinese value-added tax of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their end product. The Company recorded VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.
Sales and purchases are recorded net of VAT collected and paid as the Company acts as an agent for the government. VAT taxes are not affected by the income tax holiday.
Sales returns and allowances was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company does not provide unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to its dealers or other customers.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, employee compensation, depreciation and related expenses, which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write-down of inventory to lower cost or market is also recorded in cost of goods sold.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other payables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients' financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collecting risk on accounts receivable.
The operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the overall performance of the PRC’s economy.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities exclude the effect of the acquisition of Tianfang.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Fair Value Measurements
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
| Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
WEIKANG BIO-TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2008
As of March 31, 2009, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States Dollars ("USD") as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income".
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
The Company uses SFAS No 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders due to investments by stockholders. Comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.
Basic and Diluted Earning Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic net 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 shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted net earning per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any dilutive securities.
Segment Reporting
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires a use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions
and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manners in which management disaggregates a company.
SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment. The Company has one reportable business segment. All of the Company's assets are located in the PRC.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are related primarily to the development of new nutritional and health supplements products. Research and development costs are expenses as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the research and development expense were $0.
Start-up Costs
In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities”, the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current year.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Employer’s Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 applies to an employer that is subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” (“SFAS 132R”) and amends SFAS 132R to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets required by FSP FAS 132(R)-1 shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets
In November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in situations in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to the asset (a defensive intangible asset). Defensive intangible assets could include assets that the acquirer will never actively use, as well as assets that will be used by the acquirer during a transition period when the intention of the acquirer is to discontinue the use of those assets. EITF 08-7 concluded that a defensive intangible asset should be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting and should be amortized over the period that the defensive intangible asset directly or indirectly contributes to the future cash flows of the entity. EITF 08-7 is effective prospectively for intangible assets acquired on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of EITF 08-7 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 163 adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), and requires additional disclosures. The objective of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), and other accounting principles generally accepted in the USA. FSP FAS 142-3 applies to all intangible assets, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise and shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance for determining the useful life of intangible assets shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements apply prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2008
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide 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 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 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company expects SFAS 160 will have an impact on accounting for business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009.
Business Combinations
SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), is effective for the Company for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. SFAS 141(R) changes how the acquisition method is applied in accordance with SFAS 141. The primary revisions to this Statement require an acquirer in a business combination to measure assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. This Statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with the Statement). Assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date are to be measured at their acquisition-date fair values, and assets or liabilities arising from all other contingencies as of the acquisition date are to be measured at their acquisition-date fair value, only if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of an asset or a liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. This Statement significantly amends other Statements and authoritative guidance, including FASB Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method, and now requires the capitalization of research and development assets acquired in a business combination at their acquisition-date fair values, separately from goodwill. FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, was also amended by this Statement to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. The Company expects SFAS 141R will have a significant impact on accounting for business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009.
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. EITF 07-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-03 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Common Welfare Fund
Common welfare fund is a voluntary fund that the Company can elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income to this fund.

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
Basis of presentation
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for annual or quarterly financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sinary, and the results of operations of Heilongjiang Weikang, Sinary’s wholly-owned subsidiary; Tianfang, Heilongjiang Weikang’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a moving weighted average basis. Cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises direct material, direct production cost and an allocated portion of production overheads.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for all assets with estimated lives ranging from 3 to 20 years as follows:
Building | 20 years |
Vehicle | 5 years |
Office Equipment | 3-7 years |
Production Equipment | 3-10 years |
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”). All of the Company’s products that are sold in the PRC are subject to Chinese value-added tax of 17% of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product. The Company recorded VAT payable and VAT receivable net of payments in the financial statements. The VAT tax return is filed offsetting the payables against the receivables.
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars ("USD") as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income". Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income. There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
The Company uses SFAS No 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Employer’s Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 applies to an employer that is subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” (“SFAS 132R”) and amends SFAS 132R to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets required by FSP FAS 132(R)-1 shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets
In November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 applies to all acquired intangible assets in situations in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to the asset (a defensive intangible asset). Defensive intangible assets could include assets that the acquirer will never actively use, as well as assets that will be used by the acquirer during a transition period when the intention of the acquirer is to discontinue the use of those assets. EITF 08-7 concluded that a defensive intangible asset should be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting and should be amortized over the period that the defensive intangible asset directly or indirectly contributes to the future cash flows of the entity. EITF 08-7 is effective prospectively for intangible assets acquired on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of EITF 08-7 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 163 adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), and requires additional disclosures. The objective of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), and other accounting principles generally accepted in the USA. FSP FAS 142-3 applies to all intangible assets, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise and shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance for determining the useful life of intangible assets shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements apply prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide 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 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 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company expects SFAS 160 will have an impact on accounting for business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009.
Business Combinations
SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), is effective for the Company for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. SFAS 141(R) changes how the acquisition method is applied in accordance with SFAS 141. The primary revisions to this Statement require an acquirer in a business combination to measure assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. This Statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with the Statement). Assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date are to be measured at their acquisition-date fair values, and assets or liabilities arising from all other contingencies as of the acquisition date are to be measured at their acquisition-date fair value, only if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of an asset or a liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. This Statement significantly amends other Statements and authoritative guidance, including FASB Interpretation No. 4, Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method, and now requires the capitalization of research and development assets acquired in a business combination at their acquisition-date fair values, separately from goodwill. FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, was also amended by this Statement to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. The Company expects SFAS 141R will have a significant impact on accounting for business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009.
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. EITF 07-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-03 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
The following table summarizes our results of operations. The table and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
| | | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |

Net Income | | $ | 3,853,605 | | | | 38 | % | | $ | 558,044 | | | | 49 | % |
Sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had sales of $10.11 million, compared to $1.15 million for the comparable period of 2008, an increase of approximately $8.96 million or 782%. This increase was attributable to 1) increased demand from our dealers and distributors as a result of increased acceptance and trust in our products from end users 2) increased selling price by 22% to dealers and distributors of Heilongjiang Weikang as a result of increased demand from end users 3) sales from Tianfang, a subsidiary we acquired on July 22, 2008. Sales of Tianfang accounted for 62% of our sales during the first quarter of 2009. We believe our sales will continue to grow as we develop new products and continue to improve the quality of our existing products.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased $4 million or 881%, from $0.45 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $4.46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was mainly due to increased production activities. The cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009, approximate 44% as compared to approximately 40% for the comparable period of 2008, which was attributable to relatively higher cost of sales of Tianfang, approximate 49% of the sales; while the cost of sales was approximately 35% of the sales for Heilongjiang Weikang, a decrease of 5% when compared with the comparable period of 2008, which was mainly due to the economies of scale with increased production volume while the fixed costs remain constant.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $5.65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.69 million for the comparable period of 2008, representing gross margin of approximate 56% and 60% of sales, respectively. The decrease in our gross profit percentage was mainly due to increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales as a result of relatively high cost of sales from Tianfang’s operations during the first quarter of 2009 compared to Heilongjiang Weikang’s relatively low cost of sales for the comparable period of 2008.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses consists of selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $0.13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $0.51 million or 380%. This increase was attributable to the combined expenses of Heilongjiang Weikang and Tianfang due to the acquisition of Tianfang in July 2008, while only Heilongjiang Weikang’s expenses were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales was 6% for three months ended March 31, 2009 while it was 11% for the comparable period of 2008, primarily due to the economy of scale and increased efficiencies in control over expenses by management.
Net Other Income (Expenses). Other income was $0.24 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to other expense of $389 in the three months ended March 31, 2008. Other income in the first quarter of 2009 mainly consisted of lease income received from leasing out a workshop and use right of our technology used in the manufacturing the royal jelly.
Net Income. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $3.85 million as compared to net income of $0.56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $3.29 million or 591%. The increase was mainly attributed to economy of scale combined with growth in revenue and efficiency of operations as a result of our acquisition of Tianfang. Our management believes that net income will continue to increase as we continue to offer better quality and variety of products and continue to improve our manufacturing efficiency.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.97 million, other current assets of approximately $1.49 million, and current liabilities of approximately $10.46 million. Negative working capital was $8 million at March 31, 2009. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 0.24-to-1 as of March 31, 2009.
The negative working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities are primarily due to other payables of approximately $7.62 million that Sinary is obligated to pay to the prior owners of Heilongjiang Weikang on or before October 25, 2009, which is non-interest bearing.
The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:
| | | | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Cash provided by (used in): | | | | | | |
Operating Activities | | $ | 4,518,083 | | | $ | 449,584 | |
Investing Activities | | $ | - | | | $ | (63,824 | ) |
Financing Activities | | $ | (3,566,113 | ) | | $ | (454,725 | ) |
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $0.45 million for the comparable period of 2008. The increase in net cash inflow from operating activities was mainly due to a significant increase in our net income with quick collection on accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $63,824 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We did not have any investing activities during the first quarter of 2009 while we paid $63,824 for acquisition of equipment and construction of a workshop during the comparable period of 2008.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase of net cash used in financing activities was mainly due to our payment in full for the remaining balance of $3.81 million for the acquisition of Tianfang during the first quarter of 2009.
We do not believe inflation had a significant negative impact on our results of operations during 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not made any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third party. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information to be reported under this item is not required of smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected in a timely manner. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-14(c). We carried out this evaluation using criteria similar to that proscribed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with the rules and forms of the SEC.
While management concluded that no material weaknesses existed, management also determined that there were two significant deficiencies:
| · | a need for additional controls and procedures to improve the recordkeeping systems at the Company; and |
| · | a need for additional financial personnel, particularly at the executive level, with experience with U.S. public companies and an appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the application of US GAAP. |
To address these concerns, we intend to retain a consultant to evaluate our internal controls and procedures and to assist us in making improvements to the quality of our controls, policies and procedures. In addition, we are in search for more qualified financial personnel with experience with U.S. GAAP and U.S. public company reporting and compliance obligations, while we are in efforts to remediate these deficiencies through improving supervision, education, and training of our accounting staff.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Conclusions regarding disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2009, and, based on their evaluation, as of the end of such period, the our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report,
(b) Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over the Company’s financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
• Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer; and
• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the issuer; and
• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of the end of the period covered by the Report.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
