1. Organization and nature of operations
Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of denim fabrics and garments. The Group owns production plants in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and its customers are mainly in the United States, Europe and Japan.
On October 25, 2007, Freedom 3, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Freedom 3”), sold one share of its common stock to Sound Worldwide Limited (“Sound Worldwide” or “SWL”) for $1.00 and redeemed 100,000 shares of its common stock from its prior sole stockholder constituting 100% of Freedom 3’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock prior to the sale, resulting in Sound Worldwide owning 100% of Freedom 3. After the sale and redemption by Freedom 3, Sound Worldwide and Freedom 3 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2007, or Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Sound Worldwide’s common stock and preferred stock was converted into 350 shares of Freedom 3’s common stock and preferred stock, respecti vely, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sound Worldwide’s common and preferred stock were retired and cancelled, resulting in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide (the “Exchange”). This resulted in the stockholders of Sound Worldwide to become stockholders of Freedom 3. The previous stockholder of Freedom was then issued 300,000 shares of Freedom 3 as agreed previously. The one share of Freedom’s common stock held by Sound Worldwide was then cancelled and Sound Worldwide sold one share of its common stock to Freedom 3, which resulted in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide. Freedom 3 then changed its name to Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
For accounting purposes, the Exchange has been treated as an acquisition of Freedom 3 by Sound Worldwide and as a recapitalization of Sound Worldwide (i.e. a "reverse acquisition"), in which Sound Worldwide was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. As a result of the Exchange, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the transaction are those of Sound Worldwide, as the accounting acquirer, and all references to the consolidated financial statements of the Company apply to the historical financial statements of Sound Worldwide prior to the transaction and the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the transaction. The Company’s shares have been restated retroactively to reflect the share exchange ratio as at the date of the tra nsaction in a manner similar to a stock split.
On May 27, 2008, the Company and SWL, entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Best Allied, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWL, and Ms. Ivy S.K. Lam, a director and officer of Best Allied and a stockholder of an aggregate of 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at a closing held on May 30, 2008, Ms. Lam purchased from the Company and SWL 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Best Allied owned by SWL, which constituted 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Best Allied, in exchange for 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam, which constituted 100% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam (the “Exchange”). The effective date of the Exchange is April 1, 2008.
Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Lam had agreed to the return and cancellation of 6,063,750 shares of our common stock held by her.

1. Organization and nature of operations (Continued)
As of June 30, 2009, the subsidiaries of the Company include the following:
Name of company | Place and date of incorporation | Attributable equity interest held | Principal activities |
Sound Worldwide Limited (“SWL”) | BVI July, 28th, 1999 | 100% | Investment holding |
Asian Point Investment Limited (“Asian Point”) | BVI March 26th, 1997 | 100% | Manufacturing and trading of denim fabrics |
1b. Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Group’s major operating subsidiary, Asian Point Investment Limited (“APIL”), has ceased operation on 31 March 2010.
The conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depend its ability to develop additional sources of capital and to establish new profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from failure to obtain of the above. We consider that the material uncertainty has been adequately disclosed in the financial statements.
2. Summary of principal accounting policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
On June 29, 2009,the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for all non governmental entities Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification does not change US GAAP but takes previously issued FASB standards and other U.S. GAAP authoritative pronouncements, changes the way the standards are referred to, and includes them in specific topic arrears. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Group& #8217;s financial statement.

2. Summary of principal accounting policies (continued)
Basis of presentation and consolidation (continued)
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the years are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.
The Company also evaluates consolidation of entities under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No.46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires management to evaluate whether an entity or interest is a variable interest entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Consolidation is required if both of these criteria are met. The Company does not have any variable interest entities requiring consolidation.
Use of estimates
In preparing 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. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Group extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
The Group has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis credit evaluations are preferred on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
During the reporting year ended 30 June 2010 and 31 March 2010, the Group did not experience any bad debts and accordingly, did not make any allowance for doubtful debts.

2. Summary of principal accounting policies (Continued)
Revenue recognition
The Company recognized revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) our price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. The Company does not recognize revenue until all customer acceptance requirements have been met and no significant obligations remain, when applicable. Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents are used to verify product delivery. The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses the collectibility of the accounts receivable based primarily upon the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.
Sales of goods represent the invoiced values of goods, net of sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time.
Shipping and handling fees and costs
Costs incurred by the Group for shipping and handling, including costs paid to third-party transportation companies, to transport and deliver products to customers, are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. Shipping and handling fees and costs amounted to Nil and $7,754 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The FASB issued Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740 (ASC 740) “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This requires that an entity recognized in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have any impact on the Group’s results of operations or financial condition for the year ended March 31, 2010. As of the date of the adoption of ASC 740, the Group has no material unrecognized tax benefit which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Group has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognize d tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive income
Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity. The Group’s other comprehensive income represented foreign currency translation adjustment.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Group is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The Group maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
In translating the financial statements of the Company from its functional currency into its reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity.

Quarter end HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 7.7855 | 7.7505 | ||||||
Average quarterly HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 7.7592 | 7.7505 |
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the approximate rates of exchange ruling on the transaction date. Exchange gains and losses resulting from this translation policy are recognized in the statements of operations.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

Share-based compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Group adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). Under SFAS No. 123R, the Group measures the cost of employee and consultant services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the costs over the period the employee or consultant is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.
Share-based compensation expense of $5,274 and $38,481 for the three month ended June, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Since share-based compensation is not tax deductible in Hong Kong, the PRC and the United States, no related tax benefit has been recognized.
Related parties transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of The Group’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Group management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Group, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Group. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangemen t consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on The Group’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”), reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative”. ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Group has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Group’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Group’s financial position or results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Group’s fiscal year 2012); early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2009-14 on its financia l statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business and any changes in current accounti ng rules, all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of the SEC. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.
In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Organizational History and Operations
We are a holding company formed in the state of Delaware on June 26, 2006. On October 25, 2007, our predecessor merged with a registered company, Freedom 3, Inc., or Freedom, a Delaware corporation.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sound Worldwide Limited, or Sound Worldwide or SWL, a British Virgins Island corporation, and its subsidiaries, we manufactured and sold denim fabrics and garments from our facilities in Hong Kong and China. SWL’s subsidiary is Asian Point Investment Limited, or Asian Point.
Through our subsidiaries, Sound Worldwide was able to produce various types of fabric and garment products. Additionally, Sound Worldwide was a garment contractor for a number of well known brands such as GAP, Levis, ECKO, and Giordano. The Company’s products were sold to customers worldwide, with over 50% exported to the U.S. marketplace and the rest throughout Western Europe and other countries. Sound Worldwide has been devoting resources to enhance its fabric and garment production technology, capacity, efficiency, and flexibility. This is intended to help Sound Worldwide to meet the perceived increasing and changing demand of the textile and garment market.
15
Our Subsidiaries’ Organizational History
The following summarizes the organizational history:
● | SWL was formed in July 1999. | |
● | Asian Point was registered in China in June 1999. |
On October 25, 2007, Freedom 3, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Freedom 3”), sold one share of its common stock to Sound Worldwide Limited (“Sound Worldwide” or “SWL”) for $1.00 and redeemed 100,000 shares of its common stock from its prior sole stockholder constituting 100% of Freedom 3’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock prior to the sale, resulting in Sound Worldwide owning 100% of Freedom 3. After the sale and redemption by Freedom 3, Sound Worldwide and Freedom 3 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 25, 2007, or Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Sound Worldwide’s common stock and preferred stock was converted into 350 shares of Freedom 3’s common stock and preferred stock, respectiv ely, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sound Worldwide’s common and preferred stock were retired and cancelled, resulting in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide (the “Exchange”). This resulted in the stockholders of Sound Worldwide to become stockholders of Freedom 3. The previous stockholder of Freedom was then issued 300,000 shares of Freedom 3 as agreed previously. The one share of Freedom’s common stock held by Sound Worldwide was then cancelled and Sound Worldwide sold one share of its common stock to Freedom 3, which resulted in Freedom 3 owning 100% of Sound Worldwide. Freedom 3 then changed its name to Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
For accounting purposes, the Exchange has been treated as an acquisition of Freedom 3 by Sound Worldwide and as a recapitalization of Sound Worldwide (i.e. a "reverse acquisition"), in which Sound Worldwide was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. As a result of the Exchange, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the date of the transaction are those of Sound Worldwide, as the accounting acquirer, and all references to the consolidated financial statements of the Company apply to the historical financial statements of Sound Worldwide prior to the transaction and the consolidated financial statements of the Company subsequent to the transaction. The Company’s shares have been restated retroactively to reflect the share exchange ratio as at the date of the tran saction in a manner similar to a stock split.
On May 27, 2008, the Company and SWL, entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Best Allied, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWL, and Ms. Ivy S.K. Lam, a director and officer of Best Allied and a stockholder of an aggregate of 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at a closing held on May 30, 2008, Ms. Lam purchased from the Company and SWL 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Best Allied owned by SWL, which constituted 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Best Allied, in exchange for 6,063,750 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam, which constituted 100% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Ms. Lam (the “Exchange”). The effective date of the Exchange i s April 1, 2008.
Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Lam had agreed to the return and cancellation of 6,063,750 shares of our common stock held by her.
As of September 30, 2008, the subsidiaries of the Company include the following:
þ Sound Worldwide Limited (“SWL”), incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 28, 1999, 100% of which is owned by the Company. SWL’s primary business is as an investment holding company;
þ Asian Point Investment Limited (“Asian Point”), incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on March 26, 1997, 100% of which is owned by the Company. Asian Point’s primary business is manufacturing and trading denim fabrics.
Our major operating subsidiary, Asian Point Investment Limited (“APIL”), has sold out all its plant and equipment at a loss of US$1,108,946 resulting to a net financial loss of US$2,370,460 during the year ended March 31, 2010. APIL has ceased operation during the year.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sound Worldwide Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognized revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) our price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting accounts receivable is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. The Company does not recognize revenue until all customer acceptance requirements have been met and no significant obligations remain, when applicable. Customer purchase orders and/or contracts are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents are used to verify product delivery. The Company assesses whether a price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales pr ice is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses the collectability of the accounts receivable based primarily upon the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.
Sales of Goods represent the invoiced values of goods, net of sales returns, trade discounts and allowances. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. The amount of these reductions is based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time. The amounts of reductions to revenue were $2,571 and $27,005 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Trade Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Group extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
Inventory
Inventories, which primarily consist of yarns, denim fabrics, garments and other textile materials and products, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Write down of potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is recorded based on management’s assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
17
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Share-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Group adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). Under SFAS No. 123R, the Group measures the cost of employee and consultant services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the costs over the period the employee or consultant is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Group’s fiscal year 2012); early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2009-14 on its financi al statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 605 on Revenue Recognition. This standard provides that the milestone method is a valid application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about whether the milestones will be achieved. Determining whether a milestone is substantive requires judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement. To meet the definition of a substantive milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement in the value of the item delivered, ( 2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3) should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
19
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, which updates the guidance in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, such that companies that file with the SEC will no longer be required to indicate the date through which they have analyzed subsequent events. This updated guidance became effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted as of the first quarter of 2010.
In February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-08 Technical Corrections to Various Topics (“2010-08”). 2010-08 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-05 Compensation—Stock Compensation—Escrowed Share Arrangements and Presumption of Compensation (“2010-05”). 2010-05 re-asserts that the Staff of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) has stated the presumption that for certain shareholders escrowed share represent a compensatory arrangement. 2010-05 further clarifies the criteria required to be met to establish a position different from the SEC Staff’s position. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-04 Accounting for Various Topics—Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs (“2010-04”). 2010-04 represents technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification (“2010-02”) an update of ASC 810 Consolidation . 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a subsidiary or group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. Management does not intend to decrease its ownership in any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-01 Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“2010-03”) an update of ASC 505 Equity . 2010-03 clarifies the treatment of stock distributions as dividends to shareholders and their affect on the computation of earnings per shares. Management does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
20
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the Quarter ended June 30, 2010, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
21
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not a party to any legal proceedings, there are no known judgments against the Company, nor are there any known actions or suits filed or threatened against it or its officers and directors, in their capacities as such. We are not aware of any disputes involving the Company and the Company has no known claim, actions or inquiries from any federal, state or other government agency. We are not aware of any claims against the Company or any reputed claims against it at this time.
You should carefully consider the following risk factors together with the other information contained in this Interim Report on Form 10-Q, and in prior reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any of the risks factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of our common stock could decline. We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the prior reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Securities Act of 1933 and include or reiterate the following risk factors:
Our Common Stock Is Subject To Penny Stock Regulation
Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
FINRA Sales Practice Requirements May Also Limit A Stockholder's Ability To Buy And Sell Our Stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that th eir customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Note 1b of Our Unaudited Financial Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 Contains Explanatory Language That Substantial Doubt Exists About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern
Note 1b of Our Unaudited Financial Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Notes disclose that the Company’s major operating subsidiary, Asian Point Investment Limited (“APIL”), has ceased operation on 31 March 2010. The conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depend If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or find an acquisition candidate, then we would, in all lik elihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.
Failure To Achieve And Maintain Effective Internal Controls In Accordance With Section 404 Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business And Operating Results.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies.
If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending June 30, 2009, we will be required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting and beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending June 30, 2009, furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. We have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to result in increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While our management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete this important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objective on a timely basis. There also can be no assurance that our auditors will be able to issue an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
In addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses” in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
23
In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.
Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate int ernal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Risks Related to the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”)
Certain political and economic considerations relating to PRC could adversely affect our company.
The PRC is passing from a planned economy to a market economy. The Chinese government has confirmed that economic development will follow a model of market economy under socialism. While the PRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans adopted by the government that set down national economic development goals. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms are unprecedented or experimental for the PRC government, and a re expected to be refined and improved. Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, which we may not be able to foresee, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, and imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion.
The recent nature and uncertain application of many PRC laws applicable to us create an uncertain environment for business operations and they could have a negative effect on us.
The PRC legal system is a civil law system. Unlike the common law system, such as the legal system used in the United States, the civil law system is based on written statutes in which decided legal cases have little value as precedents. In 1979, the PRC began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and has since introduced many laws and regulations to provide general guidance on economic and business practices in the PRC and to regulate foreign investment. Progress has been made in the promulgation of laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. The promulgation of new laws, changes of existing laws and the abrogation of local regulations by national laws could have a negative impact on our business and b usiness prospects. In addition, as these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent, their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.
24
If relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may decrease and we may have difficulty accessing the U.S. capital markets.
At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.
Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Currently, the Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends, or otherwise satisfy foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required w here Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans and corporate debt obligations denominated in foreign currencies.
The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay certain of our expenses as they come due.
It may be difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon our company and our officers and directors because some of them reside outside the United States.
As our operations are presently based in China and some of our key directors and officers reside outside the United States, service of process on our key directors and officers may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States and any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States. We have appointed Norbert Sporns, our Chief Executive Officer and President, as our agent to receive service of process in any action against our company in the United States.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.
SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.
