(fka SN Strategies Corp.)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at September 30, 2010, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 (consolidated) and 2009 (combined) and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (consolidated) and 2009 (combined). The consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
These condensed financial statement should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of Sichuan Shesays Cosmetology Hospital Company Limited (“Sichuan Shesays”) appearing in the Company's on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on June 7, 2010.
NOTE 2 ORGANIZATION
SN Strategies Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 18, 2002.
Perfect Support Limited (“Perfect Support”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on January 15, 2010 as an investment holding company. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Chengdu Boan Investment Management Co., Limited (“Chengdu Boan”), the Company is principally engaged in providing consultancy services on medical beauty services, cosmetic surgery services and cosmetic dentistry services in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Chengdu Boan was incorporated in the PRC as a wholly-owned foreign enterprise on April 27, 2010. In accordance with the business permit, Chengdu Boan’s right of operation expires on April 27, 2040 and is renewable on expiry.
Sichuan Shesays was incorporated in the PRC on May 30, 2005 as a limited liability company. Sichuan Shesays is a clinic for providing professional medical beauty services, cosmetic surgery services and cosmetic dentistry services to customers in the PRC. In accordance with its business permit, the Company’s right of operation expires on May 30, 2025.
On April 27, 2010, Chengdu Boan entered into a series of contractual agreements with Sichuan Shesays and the stockholders of Sichuan Shesays in which Chengdu Boan assumed the management of the business activities of Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries, if any, from time to time, Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries agreed to pay 100% of its residual return to Chengdu Boan. Through this arrangement, Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries, if any, became contractually controlled subsidiaries of Chengdu Boan. Based on these contractual arrangements, the Company considers Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) under ASC 810 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51” and Perfect Support through Chengdu Boan is the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries (See note 6). Accordingly, Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries should be consolidated under ASC 810. As Perfect Support, Chengdu Boan, Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries were under common control, the contractual arrangements have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
On June 6, 2010, SN Strategies Corp., the Parent, China Shesays Medical Cosmetology Inc., the Merger Sub, a Nevada corporation, wholly owned by the Parent and incorporated on May 20, 2010, Perfect Support, known as the Acquired Sub, and the stockholders of the Acquired Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which the Merger Sub agreed to acquire 100% of the common stocks of Acquired Sub. In connection with the merger, the Merger Sub issued to the stockholders of Acquired Sub 10 shares for all outstanding shares of the Acquired Sub’s common stock.
4
The 10 shares of common stock of the Merger Sub were subsequently converted to 13,500,012 shares of common stock of the Parent Company.
Concurrent with the merger, the Merger Sub merged with and into the Parent at the effective time of the merger. The Merger Sub no longer existed, and Parent’s name was changed to the Merger Sub’s name.
For financial reporting purposes, the merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Parent whereby the historical financial statements and operations of the Acquired Sub become the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Share and per share amounts reflect the effects of the recapitalization for all periods presented. In addition, the presentation for all periods includes equity transactions of the Acquired Sub as adjusted for the effects of the recapitalization.
On July 8, 2010, Sichuan Shesays established a PRC limited liability company, Leshan Jiazhou Shesays Junge Cosmetology Company Limited (“Leshan Jiazhou Shesays”) with a registered capital of $736,594 to which Sichuan Shesays contributed $265,984 in cash and a set of machinery totaling $470,610 in lieu of cash. Leshan Jiazhou Shesays is a clinic for providing professional medical beauty services and cosmetic surgery services to customers in PRC. In accordance with its business permit, the Company’s right of operation expires on June 17, 2014.
On August 18, 2010, Sichuan Shesays together with a third party established a PRC limited liability company, Yibin Shesays Junge Cosmetology Clinic Company Limited (“Yibin Shesays”) with a registered capital of $734,981. Sichuan Shesays contributed $587,985 in cash to the registered capital of Yibin Shesays, representing 80% of the equity of Yibin Shesays. Yibin Shesays is a clinic for providing professional medical beauty services and cosmetic surgery services to customers in PRC. In accordance with its business permit, the Company’s right of operation expires on December 31, 2014.
China Shesays, Perfect Support, Chengdu Boan, Sichuan Shesays, Leshan Jiazhou Shesays and Yibin Shesays are hereinafter referred to as (“the Company”).
NOTE 3 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION / COMBINATION

The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the financial statements of China Shesays and the contractually controlled affiliate, Sichuan Shesays for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 4 USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 5 RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-10 “Consolidation” (Topic 810), “Amendments for Certain Investment Funds”. ASU 2010-10 amends the consolidation requirements of Topic 810 resulting from the issuance of Statement 167 are deferred for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity (1) that has all the attributes of an investment company or (2) for which it is industry practice to apply measurement principles for financial reporting purposes that are consistent with those followed by investment companies. The deferral does not apply in situations in which a reporting entity has the explicit or implicit obligation to fund losses of an entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. The deferral also does not apply to interests in securitization entities, asset-backed financing entities, or entities formerly considered qualifying special purpose entities. In addition, the deferral applies to a reporting entity’s interest in an entity that is required to comply or operate in accordance with requirements similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. An entity that qualifies for the deferral will continue to be assessed under the overall guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities in Subtopic 810-10 (before the Statement 167 amendments) or other applicable consolidation guidance, such as the guidance for the consolidation of partnerships in Subtopic 810-20. The amendments in this Update also clarify that for entities that do not qualify for the deferral, related parties should be considered when evaluating each of the criteria in paragraph 810-10-55-37, as amended by Statement 167, for determining whether a decision maker or service provider fee represents a variable interest. In addition, the requirements for evaluating whether a decision maker’s or service provider’s fee is a variable interest are modified to clarify the Board’s intention that a quantitative calculation should not be the sole basis for this evaluation.ASU 2010-10 is effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
5
In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-9 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2010-9"). ASU 2010-9 amends disclosure requirements within Subtopic 855-10. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC's requirements. ASU 2010-9 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
In December 2009, FASB issued ASU 2009-17 Consolidations (Topic 810) Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities ("ASU 2009-17"). ASU 2009-17 amends the FASB ASC for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) . The amendments in ASU 2009-17 replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. ASU 2009-17 also requires additional disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in variable interest entities. ASU 2009-17 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations except that additional disclosures will be made in the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, now codified under FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
NOTE 6 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company accounts for Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC 810. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-17, consolidations (Topic 810) – Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, effective January 1, 2010, ASC 810 requires the consolidation of VIEs in which a company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The Company has applied the requirements of ASC 810 on a prospective basis from the date of adoption.
The Company assesses all newly created entities and those with which the Company becomes involved to determine whether such entities are VIEs and, if so, whether or not the Company is their primary beneficiary.
On April 27, 2010, the Company through its PRC subsidiary, Chengdu Boan entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Sichuan Shesays and the stockholders of Sichuan Shesays pursuant to which Chengdu Boan assumed the management of the business activities of Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries if any, from time to time, and Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries agreed to pay 100% of its residual return to Chengdu Boan. Through this arrangement, Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries, if any, are considered VIEs of the Company.
As required by ASC 810-10, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries which are identified as VIEs of the Company. A quality assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The Company’s assessment on the involvement with Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries reveals that the Company has the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries. Under the accounting guidance, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries and the results of Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2010, Sichuan Shesays and its subsidiaries had total assets of $7,964,640 and total liabilities of $4,349,474. As of December 31, 2009, Sichuan Shesays had total assets of $3,863,832 and total liabilities of $1,313,712.

Perfect Support Limited ("Perfect Support") was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on January 15, 2010 as an investment holding company. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Chengdu BOAN Investment Management Co., Limited ("Chengdu BOAN"), it is principally engaged in providing consultancy services on medical beauty services, cosmetic surgery services and cosmetic dentistry services in the PRC.

Corporate Structure and Contractual Arrangements
Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China through Chengdu BOAN, our wholly-owned subsidiary in China, and through our contractual arrangements with several of our consolidated affiliated entities in China, including SHESAYS and its subsidiaries.
PRC regulations require any foreign entities that invest directly in the medical services industry to have direct operations in the medical industry outside of China. No foreign entity is allowed in China to set up a wholly owned medical institute. However, a foreign entity is permitted to set up a joint venture medical institute with Chinese entities. Foreign investors are permitted to hold shares of the joint venture medical institute at maximum of 70%.
We do not currently directly operate medical services outside of China and cannot qualify under PRC regulations. Since we have not been involved in the direct operation of medical services business outside of China, our domestic PRC subsidiary, Chengdu BOAN, which is considered foreign-invested, is currently ineligible to apply for the required medical services licenses in China. Our medical services business is currently provided through contractual arrangements with our consolidated affiliated entities in China, including SHESAYS and its subsidiaries. SHESAYS is owned by 5 PRC citizens. SHESAYS and several of its subsidiaries hold the requisite licenses to provide medical services in China.
SHESAYS and its subsidiaries directly operate our cosmetology hospitals. We expect to continue to depend on SHESAYS and its subsidiaries to operate our medical services until we qualify for direct ownership of a medical business in China under PRC laws and regulations and acquire SHESAYS and its subsidiaries as our direct-owned subsidiaries. Chengdu BOAN has entered into contractual arrangements with SHESAYS and shareholders, pursuant to which, we are able to exert effective control over SHESAYS and its subsidiaries. A substantial portion of the economic benefits of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries will be transferred to us, and Chengdu BOAN or its designee has an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in SHESAYS, all or part of the equity interests in SHESAYS’s subsidiaries that are owned by SHESAYS or its nominee holders or all or part of the assets of SHESAYS, in each case when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.
In connection with its entry into the World Trade Organization, China is required to relax restrictions on foreign investment in the medical industry in China. We do not currently know how or when we will be able to qualify under these regulations. Even if we do qualify in the future, it may be burdensome or not cost effective for us to meet the required criteria for direct ownership. If and when we qualify for direct ownership, we intend to explore the commercial feasibility of changing our current structure, including possibly direct ownership of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries, taking into consideration of relevant cost, market, competitive and other factors. In the event we take such steps, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify or acquire a qualified foreign company for a possible future restructuring or any restructuring we may undertake to facilitate direct ownership will be successful.
Agreements that Transfer Economic Benefits to Us
Pursuant to our contractual arrangements with SHESAYS and its subsidiaries, Chengdu BOAN provides management and consulting services to SHESAYS and its subsidiaries in exchange for service fees. The service fees shall equal to 100% of the residual return of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries which can be waived by Chengdu BOAN from time to time in its sole discretion.
13
Agreements that Provide Effective Control over SHESAYS and its future Subsidiaries
We have entered into the following agreements with SHESAYS and its subsidiaries that provide us with effective control over SHESAYS and its subsidiaries:
(i) an exclusive service agreement, pursuant to which SHESAYS and its subsidiaries irrevocably entrust to Chengdu BOAN the right of management and operation of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries and the responsibilities and authorities of their shareholders and directors of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries;
(ii) a voting rights proxy agreement, pursuant to which the shareholder of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries have granted the personnel designated by Chengdu BOAN the right to appoint directors and senior management of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries and to exercise all of their other voting rights as shareholders of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries, as the case may be, as provided under the articles of association of each such entity;
(iii) a call option agreement, pursuant to which:
(a) neither SHESAYS nor any of its subsidiaries may enter into any transaction that could materially affect its assets, liabilities, equity or operations without the prior written consent of Chengdu BOAN;
(b) neither SHESAYS nor any of its subsidiaries will distribute any dividends without the prior written consent of Chengdu BOAN;
(c) Chengdu BOAN or its designee has an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in SHESAYS, all or part of the equity interests in SHESAYS subsidiaries owned by SHESAYS or its nominee holders, or all or part of the assets of SHESAYS, in each case when and to the extent permitted by PRC law. In case of BOAN exercising the call option in its sole discretion upon the occurrence of the situation in which such call option exercise become feasible under the relevant laws in PRC, any additional consideration paid other than the $1.00 which may be required under the laws of China to effect such purchase to comply with such legal formalities shall be either cancelled or returned to SHESAYS immediately with no additional compensation to the owners; and
(d) an equity pledge agreement pursuant to which each of shareholders of SHESAYS has pledged his or her equity interest in SHESAYS and its subsidiaries, as the case may be, to Chengdu BOAN to secure their obligations under the relevant contractual control agreements, including but not limited to, the obligations of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries under the exclusive services agreement, the call option agreement, the voting rights proxy agreement described above, and each of them has agreed not to transfer, sell, pledge, dispose of or create any encumbrance on their equity interest in SHESAYS or its subsidiaries without the prior written consent of Chengdu BOAN.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $2,102,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with $2,358,485 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to the following factors: (i) net income of approximately $1,871,233, (ii) an add-back of non-cash items, such as approximately $370,791 in depreciation, (iii) an increase of $641,845 in income tax payable, (iv) other current assets and prepaid expenses decreased our cash by $1,115,989.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to the following factors: (i) net income of $2,249,749, (ii) an add-back of non-cash items, such as totally $236,616 in depreciation and amortization, (iii) sales tax payable and other taxes payable decreased our cash by $325,533.
Compared with the same period in 2009, the slight decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the slight decrease in net income and tremendous increase in other current assets and prepaid expenses, even though the increase in income tax payable.
18
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $3,455,698 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $492,425 used for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of cash used in investing activities is mainly because we have invested heavily in purchasing properties and equipment related to our newly established chain stores in the cities of Leshan and Yibin.
Financing Activities
Cash provided in financing activities was $1,016,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $5,817 used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Cash provided in financing activities was largely from a bank loan of $880,230 made during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing resources, including cash generated from operations as well as the bank loans, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirement for our current operations. However, in order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, we will require additional capital either from our stockholders or from outside sources.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2010, management of the Company, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as the controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are 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 or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.
19
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
20
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not a party to any legal proceeding and are not aware of any legal claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
An investment in our common stock or other securities involves a number of risks. You should carefully consider each of the risks described below before deciding to invest in our common stock or other securities. If any of the following risks develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price of our common stock or other securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The risk factors presented below are all of the ones that we currently consider material. However, they are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us, or which we currently consider immaterial, may also adversely affect us. There may be risks that a particular investor views differently from us, and our analysis might be wrong. If any of the risks that we face actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected and could differ materially from any possible results suggested by any forward-looking statements that we have made or might make. In such case, the trading price of our common stock or the value of our other securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
Product liability claims or treatment procedure malpractice claims could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in adverse effects or our treatments or procedures are claimed to be malpractice. While we take what we believe are appropriate precautions, we may not be able to avoid significant product liability exposure. We currently do not have product liability insurance or malpractice insurance. Although we have yet to face a product liability claim or a treatment malpractice claim, the assertion of this type of claim could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult for you to evaluate our business and prospects.
We began our current business operations in May 2005. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history for our current operations upon which you can evaluate the viability and sustainability of our business and its acceptance by consumers. It is also difficult to evaluate the viability of our business model because we do not have sufficient experience to address the risks frequently encountered by every level of braches new established and entering new regional markets. These circumstances may make it difficult for you to evaluate our business and prospects.
Our senior management and employees have worked together for a short period of time, which may make it difficult for you to evaluate their effectiveness and ability to address challenges.
Due to our limited operating history and recent additions to our management team, certain of our senior management and employees have worked together at our company for only a relatively short period of time. As a result, it may be difficult for you to evaluate the effectiveness of our senior management and other key employees and their ability to address future challenges to our business.
21
Our medical care personnel may have errors in plastic surgery operation, which would cause clinic incidents and adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from our cosmetology services, and our financial condition and results of operations.
Medical care personnel may have errors in plastic surgery operation, and clinical test products may be risky. If a serious medical negligence happened, our brand image would be severely impaired, which would affect our ability to generate revenue from our cosmetology services, and our financial condition and results of operations.
There may be more advanced appliances and equipment or diagnosis and treat methods which may constitute challenge for SHESAYS.
We need to upgrade our techniques and equipment continuously to keep our technical advantage. In respect to our external environment, there may be more advanced appliances and equipment or diagnosis and treatment methods which may constitute challenge for SHESAYS. In response to technical risk, we can strive to enhance employee training to ensure professional ability and continue to raise scholarship level, operative skills and equipment upgrades to maintain our leading status in cosmetology techniques. However, there is no assurance that our training and upgrades will keep us competitive in our industry.
Our revenue is particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions and cosmetology trends.
Demand for our cosmetology services, and the resulting cosmetology spending by our clients, is particularly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions and their disposable income. During periods of economic downturn, people may reduce the money they spend on cosmetology, which would materially and adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from our cosmetology services, and our financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.
A substantial majority of our revenues are currently concentrated in Chengdu. If the city experiences an event negatively affecting its cosmetology industry, our ability to generate adequate cash flow would be materially and adversely affected.
Though we will expand our business across Sichuan Province, a substantial majority of our revenues are currently concentrated in Chengdu. We expect Chengdu to continue to be the important source of our revenues. If the city experiences an event negatively affecting its cosmetology industry, such as a serious clinical incident, negative changes in government policy, a natural disaster and so on, our ability to generate adequate cash flow would be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to successfully expand our business network into new regions which could harm or reverse our growth potential and our ability to increase our revenues, or even result in a decrease in revenues.
We are pursuing a strategy to expand our service network into new regions. Based in the headquarters of Chengdu, we aim to expand our business into other cities of Sichuan province and across China. In fact, we are currently setting up another flagship comprehensive cosmetology hospital in Chengdu and have established three new outpatient departments in the cities of Yibin, Leshan and Zigong.
In the new cities, we will encounter new difficulties and compete with local competitors, which could harm or reverse our growth potential and our ability to increase our revenues, or even result in a decrease in revenues.
22
We face intensive competition, and if we do not compete successfully against new and existing competitors, we may lose our market share, and our profitability may be adversely affected.
We compete with some of the largest cosmetology hospitals, such as Huamei Zixin Medical Cosmetology Hospital and Chengdu Dahua Medical Plastic Hospital in southwest China. We compete for plastic surgery clients primarily on the basis of network size and coverage, location, price, technique level, the range and the quality of services that we offer and our brand name. We also compete for such business as esthetic dentistry, gynecology/male plastic surgery with private dental clinics and cosmetology departments in regular public hospitals. Increased competition could reduce our operating margins and profitability and result in a loss of market share. Some of our existing and potential competitors may have competitive advantages, such as significantly greater financial, marketing or other resources and may be able to mimic and adopt our business model. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete against new or existing competitors.
We depend on the leadership and services of Mr. Yixiang Zhang, who is our founder, chairman and largest shareholder, and our business and growth prospects may be severely disrupted if we lose his services.
Our future success is dependent upon the continued services of Mr. Yixiang Zhang, our founder, chairman and major shareholder. We rely on his industry expertise and experience in our business operations, and in particular, his business vision, management skills and working relationships with our employees, our other major shareholders and many of our clients. If he were unable or unwilling to continue in his present position, or if he joins a competitor or forms a competing company in violation of his employment agreement and noncompete agreement, we may not be able to replace him easily or at all. As a result, our business and growth prospects may be severely disrupted if we lose his services.
Our expansion plan would be restricted by an update of related managerial systems and a shortage of human resources.
With the expansion of our business an update of related managerial systems and a shortage of human resources may become certain factors restricting our Company’s development. We are rapidly expanding our business and we might not be able to recruit enough talented employees to match our rapid expansion. We will continue to establish and consummate related managerial systems based on the state of our development, which include crisis counter-plan and organization & position design systems. We also will enhance medical care personnel training and achieve all-around employees recruitment and training utilizing mutual communication and support within our three-level service systems.
If we do not continue to expand and maintain an effective sales and marketing team, it will cause short-term disruptions of our operations, restrict our sales efforts and negatively affect our cosmetology service revenue.
Many of our sales and marketing personnel have only worked for us for a short period of time. We depend on our marketing staff to explain our service offerings to our existing and potential clients and to cover a large number of clients. We will need to further increase the size of our sales and marketing staff if our business continues to grow. We may not be able to hire, retain, integrate or motivate our current or new marketing personnel which would cause short-term disruptions of our operations, restrict our sales efforts and negatively affect our cosmetology service revenue.
We may need additional capital and we may not be able to obtain it, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position.
To further expand our business into other cities, we may require additional cash resources. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity.
Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:
- investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of alternative cosmetology hospitals;
23
conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows;
PRC governmental regulation of foreign investment in cosmetology hospitals in China;
economic, political and other conditions in China; and
- PRC governmental policies relating to foreign currency borrowings.
We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our stock may be adversely impacted.
Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud and investor confidence and the market price of our stock may be adversely impacted.
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management team.
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, which has limited experience managing a U.S. public company, 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.
Risks Relating to Regulation of Our Business and to Our Structure
If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating our China business do not comply with PRC governmental restrictions on foreign investment in the medical industry, we could be subject to severe penalties.
Substantially all of our operations are or will be conducted through our indirectly wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in China, which we collectively refer to as our PRC operating subsidiaries, and through our contractual arrangements with our consolidated affiliated entities in China. PRC regulations require any foreign entities that invest directly in the medical services industry to have direct operations in the medical industry outside of China. In addition, foreign entity is not allowed in China to set up wholly-owned medical institute although the foreign entity is permitted to set up a joint venture medical institute with Chinese entities. Foreign investors are permitted to hold shares of the joint venture medical institute at maximum of 70%.
We do not currently directly operate medical services outside of China and cannot qualify under PRC regulations before we commence any such operations outside of China or until we acquire a company that has directly operated a medical services business outside of China. Accordingly, since we have not been involved in the direct operation of medical services business outside of China, our domestic PRC subsidiary, Chengdu BOAN, which is considered foreign-invested, is currently ineligible to apply for the required medical services licenses in China. While our indirect PRC operating subsidiaries are eligible for the required licenses for providing medical services in China and some of our indirect PRC operating subsidiaries have obtained such licenses, we have been using and are expected to continue to use PRC operating affiliates and their subsidiaries to operate a significant portion of our medical business for the foreseeable future. We have entered into contractual arrangements with PRC operating affiliates and their respective subsidiaries, pursuant to which we, through our PRC operating subsidiaries or non-PRC subsidiaries, provide technical support and consulting services to our PRC operating affiliates and their subsidiaries. In addition, we have entered into agreements with our PRC operating affiliates and each of their shareholders which provide us with the substantial ability to control these affiliates and their existing and future subsidiaries.
24
If we, our existing or future PRC operating subsidiaries and affiliates are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities, including the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or SAIC, which regulates cosmetology hospitals, would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including:
revoking the business and operating licenses of our PRC subsidiaries and affiliates;
discontinuing or restricting our PRC subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ operations;
imposing conditions or requirements with which we or our PRC subsidiaries and affiliates may not be able to comply;
requiring us or our PRC subsidiaries and affiliates to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations; or
- restricting or prohibiting our use of the proceeds of this offering to finance our business and operations in China.
The imposition of any of these penalties would result in a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.
We rely on contractual arrangements with SHESAYS and its subsidiaries and shareholders for a substantial portion of our China operations, which may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct ownership.
We rely on contractual arrangements with SHESAYS and its subsidiaries and shareholders to operate our medical business. For a description of these contractual arrangements, see “Corporate Structure and Contractual Arrangements.” These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing us with control over SHESAYS as direct ownership. If we had direct ownership of SHESAYS, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of SHESAYS which in turn could effect changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management level. However, under the current contractual arrangements, as a legal matter, if SHESAYS or any of its subsidiaries and shareholders fails to perform its or his respective obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, and rely on legal remedies under PRC law, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, which we cannot assure you to be effective.
Many of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, we may not be able to exert effective control over our operating entities, and our ability to conduct our business may be negatively affected.
25
Contractual arrangements we have entered into among our subsidiaries and affiliated entities may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities and a finding that we owe additional taxes or are ineligible for our tax exemption, or both, could substantially increase our taxes owed, and reduce our net income and the value of your investment.
Under PRC law, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. If any of the transactions we have entered into among our subsidiaries and affiliated entities are found not to be on an arm’s-length basis, or to result in an unreasonable reduction in tax under PRC law, the PRC tax authorities have the authority to disallow our tax savings, adjust the profits and losses of our respective PRC entities and assess late payment interest and penalties.
As a result of this risk, you should evaluate our results of operations and financial condition without regard to these tax savings.
Our business operations may be affected by legislative or regulatory changes.
The regulatory department of the government may issue new rules and regulations which may raise higher requirements for operation, qualifications of employees and hardware levels. Changes in laws and regulations or the enactment of new laws and regulations governing plastic surgery, affecting our business licenses or otherwise affecting our business in China may materially and adversely affect our business prospects and results of operations. Substantially all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenues are derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political and legal developments in China.
The PRC’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental policies, could affect the financial markets in China and our liquidity and access to capital and our ability to operate our business.
The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth over the past, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, under current PRC regulations, PRC regulations require any foreign entities that invest directly in the medical services industry to have direct operations in the medical industry outside of China. In addition, foreign entity is not allowed in China to set up wholly-owned medical institute although the foreign entity is permitted to set up a joint venture medical institute with Chinese entities. Foreign investors are permitted to hold shares of the joint venture medical institute at maximum of 70%. Moreover, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.
The PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although the PRC government has implemented measures since the late 1970s emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Since late 2003, the PRC government implemented a number of measures, such as raising bank reserves against deposit rates to place additional limitations on the ability of commercial banks to make loans and raise interest rates, in order to slow down specific segments of China’s economy which it believed to be overheating. These actions, as well as future actions and policies of the PRC government, could materially affect our liquidity and access to capital and our ability to operate our business.
26
The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past 30 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Our PRC operating subsidiary, BOAN, is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise which is an enterprise incorporated in China and wholly-owned by foreign investors. BOAN is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China in general and laws and regulations applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises in particular. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we enjoy either by law or contract. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. For example, these uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into with SHESAYS and its subsidiaries. In addition, such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could materially and adversely affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to the medical industry, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with SHESAYS and its subsidiaries, and other foreign investors.
Recent regulations relating to offshore investment activities by PRC residents may increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our overseas and cross-border investment activity, and a failure by our shareholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to such regulations may prevent us from being able to distribute profits and could expose us and our PRC resident shareholders to liability under PRC law.
The PRC National Development and Reform Commission, or NDRC, and SAFE recently promulgated regulations that require PRC residents and PRC corporate entities to register with and obtain approvals from relevant PRC government authorities in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. These regulations apply to our shareholders who are PRC residents and may apply to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future.
Under the SAFE regulations, PRC residents who make, or have previously made, direct or indirect investments in offshore companies will be required to register those investments. In addition, any PRC resident who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an offshore company is required to file with the local branch of SAFE, with respect to that offshore company, any material change involving capital variation, such as an increase or decrease in capital, transfer or swap of shares, merger, division, long term equity or debt investment or creation of any security interest over the assets located in China. If any PRC shareholder fails to make the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of that offshore parent company may be prohibited from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation, to their offshore parent company, and the offshore parent company may also be prohibited from injecting additional capital into their PRC subsidiaries. Moreover, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.
We cannot assure you that all of our shareholders who are PRC residents will comply with our request to make or obtain any registrations or approvals required under these regulations or other related legislation. Furthermore, as the regulations are relatively new, the PRC government has yet to publish implementing rules, and much uncertainty remains concerning the reconciliation of the new regulations with other approval requirements. It is unclear how these regulations, and any future legislation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. The failure or inability of our PRC resident shareholders to comply with these regulations may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our ability to inject additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries and the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make distributions or pay dividends, or materially and adversely affect our ownership structure. If any of the foregoing events occur, our acquisition strategy and business operations and our ability to distribute profits to you could be materially and adversely affected.
27
The PRC tax authorities may require us to pay additional taxes in connection with our acquisitions of offshore entities that conducted their PRC operations through their affiliates in China.
Our operations and transactions are subject to review by the PRC tax authorities pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, in the case of some of our acquisitions of offshore entities that conducted their PRC operations through their affiliates in China, we cannot assure you that the PRC tax authorities will not require us to pay additional taxes in relation to such acquisitions. In the event that the sellers failed to pay any taxes required under PRC law in connection with these transactions, the PRC tax authorities might require us to pay taxes, together with late-payment interest and penalties.
If any of our PRC affiliates becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or liquidation proceeding, we may lose the ability to use and enjoy those assets, which could reduce the size of our cosmetology service network and materially and adversely affect our business, ability to generate revenue and the market price of our stock.
To comply with PRC laws and regulations relating to foreign ownership restrictions in the medical business, we currently conduct our operations in China through contractual arrangements with SHESAYS, its shareholders and subsidiaries. As part of these arrangements, SHESAYS and its subsidiaries hold certain of the assets that are important to the operation of our business. If any of these entities goes bankrupt and all or part of their assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to continue some or all of our business activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of SHESAYS and its subsidiaries undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, its shareholders or unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, our ability to generate revenue and the market price of our stock.
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.
Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible under the “current account”, which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account”, which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Currently, BOAN may purchase foreign exchange for settlement of “current account transactions”, including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC governmental authorities will not limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future. Since a significant amount of our future revenues will be denominated in Renminbi, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account are still subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect BOAN’s ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from us.
Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.
Because our earnings and cash and cash equivalent assets are denominated in Renminbi fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollars and Renminbi will affect the relative purchasing power of our revenue and our balance sheet and earnings per share in U.S. dollars. In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Since July 2005, the Renminbi is no longer pegged solely to the U.S. dollar. Instead, it is reported to be pegged against a basket of currencies, determined by the People’s Bank of China, against which it can rise or fall by as much as 0.3% each day. This change in policy has resulted in the gradual increase in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar over time. Between July 2005, when China began its renminbi exchange rate reform, and the end of 2009, the value of the renminbi has appreciated by 21.21 percent against the U.S. dollar and up by 2.21 percent against the Euro. The Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the long term, depending on the fluctuation of the basket of currencies against which it is currently valued or it may be permitted to enter into a full float, which may also result in a significant appreciation or depreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we might issue in the future which will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from and the value of any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.
28
Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We do not intend to enter into any hedging transactions. Even if we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On November 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors (“investors”) relating to the issuance and sale of 600,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $2.00 per share, in a private placement transaction. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares was $1,200,000. The sale of the Shares to the investors closed on November 12, 2010.
In connection with the private placement, a majority stockholder of the Company together with the Company entered into a make good escrow agreement with the investors, pursuant to which a total of 600,000 shares of common stock owned by the majority stockholder were delivered to an escrow agent in order to secure the Company’s obligation under the Securities Purchases Agreement. If the company fails to achieve $6,400,000 in net after tax income, the majority stockholder of the Company is obligated to transfer 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the investor as additional consideration under the private placement.
