NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Teen Education Group, Inc. (“we,”, “us”, “our”, “Teen Education” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, incorporated on April 16, 2007, acquired an automotive parts distribution company, Hongkong Charter International Group Limited (“Hongkong Limited”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated November 12, 2010.
The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on November 12, 2010 (the “Closing date”). On the closing date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Hongkong Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Hongkong Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong on August 21, 2009 and owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shanghai Vomart Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Vomart”). Shanghai Vomart was incorporated in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in January 2008 with registered capital in an amount of RMB 1,000,000 (equivalent to $144,697). In 2008 and 2009, the Company established four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Shanghai Vomart Nanjing, Ningbo, Hangzhou and Shijiazhuang. In 2010, the Company established the fifth wholly-owned subsidiary, Huai An in Huai An City, Jiangsu province. Currently, the Company owns thirty-seven (37) stores in nine (9) provinces and municipalities. Shanghai Vomart and its subsidiaries are engaged in automotive parts and accessories distribution and providing automotive maintenance services (which was temporarily suspended in August, 2010) in China. The Company distributes a broad selection of international brand name (such as Philips, Mahle, Denso, Bosch and Osram) as well as private label automotive replacement parts, such as accessories and maintenance items for cars, minivans, vans, sport utility vehicles, light trucks, and heavy-duty trucks. The typical products include batteries, brake pads, filters, oils and transmission fluid.
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all material adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 8-K/A No.2 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2011.
The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or for any other period.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principle of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Vomart and Shanghai Vomart’s five wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “PRC subsidiaries”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
Use of estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation of inventories, allowances for doubtful accounts and useful lives for property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents include all short-term, highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased. All credit and debit card transactions that settle in less than seven days are also classified as cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains bank accounts in the PRC, which are not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible amounts, as needed.
The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debt percentages determined by management based on historical experience as well as current economic climate are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. The valuation allowance balance is adjusted to the amount computed as a result of the aging method. When facts subsequently become available to indicate that the allowance provided requires an adjustment, then the adjustment will be classified as a change in estimate. There were allowances of $6,938 and $36,316 for uncollectible amounts as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
Inventories
Inventory is mainly composed of automotive parts and supplies. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined on a weighted average basis, or market. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates and reflected in cost of sales. Inventory allowance as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, was $10,224 and $0 respectively.
Advances to vendors
Advances to vendors consist of balances paid to the Company’s suppliers but the service or goods have not been provided or received. Advances to vendors are reviewed periodically to determine whether the carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the realization of the services and goods become doubtful. There was no allowance as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the fixed assets have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs are expenses when incurred

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement of a fixed asset is recognized as the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss is recognized.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
![]() | ![]() | |
Office equipment | 3 years | |
Furniture and fixture | 5 years | |
Automobiles | 7 years |
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, which include equipment, furniture and fixtures and automobiles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. No impairment loss was recorded as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions have been met. Deposits or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advance from customers.
Cost of sales
Costs of sales include costs of the automotive parts sold and used, as well as inbound freight costs. Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions for sales representatives, salaries for administrative staffs, rent expenses, depreciation expense and employee benefits for administrative staffs.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income tax under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, whenever necessary, against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
Value added tax
The Company is subject to value added tax (“VAT”) at a 17% rate on the amount of goods sold or maintenance services provided. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods sold (output VAT) less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices (input VAT). Under the commercial practice of the PRC, the Company paid VAT based on tax invoices issued. The tax invoices may be issued subsequent to the date on which revenue is recognized, and there may be a considerable delay between the date on which the revenue is recognized and the date on which the tax invoice is issued.
The VAT collected from sales is not revenue of the company, and is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid. The Company reports revenue net of PRC’s VAT for all periods presented in the consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign currency translation
The Company maintains books and records in its functional currency of the Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted.
For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”, “$”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Comprehensive income
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, requires disclosure of all components of comprehensive income and loss on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive income and loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income arose from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other loans payable. Management has estimated that the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
Earnings per share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 “Earning Per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients’ financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
Employment Contracts
Under the PRC labor law, all employees have signed employment contracts with the Company. The CEO has a 26 months employment contract and the rest of employees have a one year employment contract renewable on an annual basis.
NOTE 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTS
Property, and equipment is comprised of:

NOTE 4. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
The Company has a loan payable in the amount of $1.51 million (in equivalent to RMB 10 million) to China Construction Bank(CCB), Qingpu Branch. The loan has one year term from May 31, 2010 to May 30, 2011 at a fixed interest rate of 5.31% per year. The loan is guaranteed by a non-related third party.

On July 1, 2010, Shanghai Vomart entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with YBM for a twelve-month period ending in June 2011. Under the Agreement, the Company is the sole domestic distributor of certain items manufactured by YBM in China. The distribution of these items commenced during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.
Concurrently, YBM referred and transferred its domestic customer list, consisting of over a hundred domestic retail customers and second-tier distributors, to Shanghai Vomart. Management estimates the fair value of the retained customer list as of December 31, 2010 to be approximately $1.3 million based on the discounted future cash flows expected from sales to those customers over the next ten years, the estimated life of the intangible asset.
Because the transfer of the customer list was between the related parties under common control, the customer list was recorded at historical cost, or zero, since YBM obtained those customers on its own and there was no carrying value of the customer list recorded on YBM’s books.
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company began recording sales to certain customers transferred from YBM. The sales to these customers represented 54.84% of the total sales of the Company during this period.
For the three months and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company also had purchase transactions with YBM and its subsidiaries as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations relates to the period ended December 31, 2010 and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts herein are expressed in US Dollars. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain anticipated events could differ materially or perhaps substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 16, 2007, primarily engaged in the business of providing a financial literacy and money management educational program for teenagers on a fee for service offered basis.
On November 12, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Hongkong Charter International Group Limited, a company incorporated in the Hong Kong on August 21, 2009, which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shanghai Vomart Auto Parts Co., Ltd.
Shanghai Vomart Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (“Vomart”) was incorporated in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China in January 2008, with registered capital in amount of RMB 1,000,000 (equivalent to US$144,697). Currently, the Company owns thirty-seven (37) stores in nine (9) provinces and municipalities. Vomart and its subsidiaries are engaged in distribution of automotive replacement parts and accessories in China.
Through Vomart and its subsidiaries, the Company is now engaged in the business of distribution of automotive replacement parts and accessories in China. The Company temporarily suspended providing automotive maintenance services in August 2010. The maintenance services we provided included home delivery sales, installation assistance, products training and technical guidance. The revenues generated from our suspended maintenance services are included in the financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2010, the fiscal years of 2010 and 2009. We may resume providing maintenance services in the future. The Company distributes a broad selection of international brand name and private label automotive replacement parts, accessories and maintenance items for cars, minivans, vans, sport utility vehicles, light trucks, and heavy-duty trucks. The typical products include batteries, brake pads, filters, oils and transmission fluid.
We are one of the largest distributors of automotive replacement parts and accessories in the PRC based on the number of stores we own and the geographic areas where we have presence. We currently own thirty-seven stores in six provinces and three municipalities, namely Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Anhui, Fujian, Shanxi, Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin. In comparison, other large auto parts distributors in China own fewer stores and/or their stores are located in fewer provinces or municipalities. For example, as of November 12, 2010, Shandong Youpei Auto Parts owns twenty-four stores of which eighteen are located in Shangdong Province. Jiangsu Youpei Auto Parts owns seventeen stores of which sixteen are located in Jiangsu Province. Putong Auto Service owns fifteen stores in thirteen different provinces and municipalities.

Revenues:
Revenues increased by approximately $5.4 million to $6.2million, as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Our sales growth was driven by expansion of stores and retail customers taken over from YBM through exclusive distribution agreement. As part of the entering into of the exclusive distribution relationship with YBM on July 1, 2010, YBM commencing during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 referred and transferred its domestic customer list, consisting of over a hundred domestic retail customers and second-tier distributors to us. All of those accounts have been primarily serviced out of the Huaian Branch and account for approximately $3.4 million (54%) of our sales in the second quarter. The loyalty of these recently transferred customers may depend on our relationship with YBM and the quality and reputation of its products. Our purchases from YBM were $1,337,768 in fiscal 2010, $1,387,679 in the 2011 first quarter, and $3,825,813 in the 2011 second quarter. This amounts to 13% of fiscal 2010 and, 32% and 57% for the first and second quarters in the current fiscal year. The increase from 32% to 57% reflects the increased purchases of YBM product to supply the customers transferred by YBM to us in the second quarter.
During the period from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, we had 12 new stores and a big branch opened, leading to the increase in net sales from automotive supplies service. Among them, the new branch’s revenues achieved $3.4 million in the past three months, which represented 54.84% of the total revenues. Revenue from automotive supplies increased by $5.6 million to 6.2 million while revenue from maintenance service decreased from $0.21 million (representing 26% of total revenue) to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 from the same period of 2009 because the Company temporarily suspended the maintenance business in August 2010.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit:
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we had cost of sales of $5.3 million, as compared to $0.4 million for the same period of 2009, an increase of $4.9 million reflecting the increase in net sales.
We achieved gross profits of $1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $0.4 million for the same period of the previous period, representing a 148% period to period increase. Our overall gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue decreased by 51.52% from 67.22% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 15.70% for the same period of 2010, mainly due to temporary suspension of maintenance services which had to a high gross profit margin and promotional price for new stores which was lower than normal price. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the maintenance service income was $206,492 with a gross profit ratio of 87.33%, however during the three months ended December 31, 2010, such income was $0 and significantly lowered the overall gross profit ratio of revenue.
Operating Expenses:
Our operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, increased by approximately 83%, to $0.58 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 from $0.32 million for the same period of the previous period. This increase is mainly attributable to our fast expansions of 12 new stores in 3 provinces and 2 municipalities, which resulted in significant increase in pre-opening expenses, payroll and traveling expenses, store and office leasing expenses, depreciation expenses, transportation expenses and other expenses relating to our growth in sales.
Income Tax Provision:
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we had tax provision of $82,983 as compared to tax provision of $69,622 for the same period of 2009. This is an increase of $13,361 from period to period. The increase in the income tax provision was because we had generated higher taxable income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 than the previous period.

Revenues:
Revenues increased by approximately $7.2 million to $9.0 million, as compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Our sales growth was driven by expansion of stores and retail customers taken over from Yi Ben Ma Group through exclusive distribution agreement. During the period from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, we had 12 new stores and a big branch opened, leading to the increase in net sales from automotive supplies service.

15
lower than normal price. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the maintenance service income was $436,049 with a gross profit ratio of 90.60%, however during the six months ended December 31, 2010, such income was decreased to $183,932 and significantly lower the overall gross profit ratio of revenue.
Operating Expenses:
Our operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, increased by approximately 75%, to $1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 from $0.58 million for the same period of the previous period. This increase is mainly attributable to our expansion of 12 new stores and a big branch in the past year, which resulted in significant increase in pre-opening expenses, payroll and traveling expenses, store and office leasing expenses, depreciation expenses, transportation expenses and other expenses relating to our growth in sales.
Income Tax Provision:
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, we had tax provision of $116,920 as compared to tax provision of $72,372 for the same period of 2009. This is an increase of $44,548 from period to period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources and Needs
Generally, since inception of our business in January 2008, we have financed our business with cash flows from operations, borrowings from related and unrelated parties, and shareholders’ capital contributions. Our cash requirements arise principally from the purchase of inventory, capital expenditures related to existing and new stores, offices and distribution centers, debt service and contractual obligations. Cash flows realized through the sales of automotive parts and accessories are our primary source of liquidity.
YBM, one of our major suppliers and affiliated entity, provided a three-year line of credit amounting to $7.46 million (RMB 50 million) to us on May 10, 2008. As of December 31, 2010, the balance of borrowings from YBM was $4.3 million. The unused line of credit as of December 31, 2010 was $3.2 million. YBM agrees to continue to provide us non-interest bearing loans upon the maturity of the three-year line of credit.
We re-negotiated with China Construction bank and China CITIC Bank for two short-term bank loans amounting $1.51 million and $2.27 million, respectively, which will be matured in May and June of 2011. Each bank has indicated a willingness to renew the loans upon the maturity. In addition, YBM has indicated that it will provide similar support for these loan facilities as it has in the past.

We opened two new stores during the first six months of the current fiscal year. As part of our growth and expansion strategy, we are examining whether it is more effective from a cost and market penetration standpoint to open new stores or to acquire existing stores from competitors. We are conducting a comprehensive market research with respect to the regions for new stores, their growth potential and our competitors. In addition, we are also in the process of preparing financial data analysis about the possibility to achieve profit by new stores. As such, it is not possible to predict the number of new stores which we will
16
open during the balance of our current fiscal year or in 2012. To the extent that we open or acquire additional stores we intend to do so through loans from YBM or from banks based on guaranties which will be provided by YBM.
We expect to incur 1% of our annual sales income in the marketing and promoting of “Vomart” brand awareness. We have on a limited and pilot basis begun to sell automotive replacement parts and accessories online. We expect to refine and develop this strategy over time as an additional distribution channel for our goods and services.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities totaled $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $0.81 million used in the same period of 2009. Cash used in operations was primarily due to the increases in inventory to match our store expansion. Additionally, we held more account receivable and value added tax recoverable which offset by advance to vendors.
Investing Activities
Cash generated in investing activities totaled $1.25 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $0.24 million used in the same period of 2009. This increase in our cash generated in investing activities was mainly due to the collection of loan previously advanced to third parties.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities totaled $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $1.2 million generated in the same period of 2009. The increase in our cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the increased payments to our related parties. However, in the previous period, our cash generated in financing activities was primarily due to the increased proceeds from our related parties.
On May 10, 2008, Vomart obtained a three-year line of credit from YBM amounting to $7.46 million (RMB 50 million). This line of credit is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due upon demand. As of December 31, 2010, 2010, the balance of borrowings from YBM was $4.3 million. The unused line of credit as of December 31, 2010 was $3.2 million. On May 1, 2009, Vomart entered into a loan agreement with Zhoufeng Shen, our current CEO, to borrow $51,653. On May 1, 2009, Vomart entered into a loan agreement with Anming Yu, our former CEO, to borrow $69,864. Both of these facilities are unsecured and non-interest bearing. As of December 31, 2010, the loand the Company borrowed from Mr. Shen and Mr. Yu have been repaid.
We opened two new stores during the first six months of the current fiscal year. As part of our growth and expansion strategy, we are examining whether it is more effective from a cost and market penetration standpoint to open new stores or to acquire existing stores from competitors. We are conducting a comprehensive market research with respect to the regions for new stores, their growth potential and our competitors. In addition, we are also in the process of preparing financial data analysis about the possibility to achieve profit by new stores. As such, it is not possible to predict the number of new stores which we will open during the balance of our current fiscal year or in 2012. To the extent that we open or acquire additional stores we intend to do so through loans from YBM or from banks based on guaranties which will be provided by YBM.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
17
Use of estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation of inventories, allowances for doubtful accounts and useful lives for property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible amounts, as needed.
The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debt percentages determined by management based on historical experience as well as current economic climate are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. The valuation allowance balance is adjusted to the amount computed as a result of the aging method. When facts subsequently become available to indicate that the allowance provided requires an adjustment, then the adjustment will be classified as a change in estimate.
Advances to vendors
Advances to vendors consist of balances paid to the Company’s suppliers but the service or goods have not been provided or received. Advances to vendors are reviewed periodically to determine whether the carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the realization of the services and goods become doubtful.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
Value added tax
The Company is subject to value added tax (“VAT”) at a 17% rate on the amount of goods sold or maintenance services provided. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods sold (output VAT) less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices (input VAT). Under the commercial practice of the PRC, the Company paid VAT based on tax invoices issued. The tax invoices may be issued subsequent to the date on which revenue is recognized, and there may be a considerable delay between the date on which the revenue is recognized and the date on which the tax invoice is issued.
The VAT collected from sales is not revenue of the company, and is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid. The Company reports revenue net of PRC’s VAT for all periods presented in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company maintains books and records in its functional currency of the Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operations are conducted.
For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars (“USD”, “$”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our processes and the effect on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of this evaluation, we sought to identify any material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and to confirm that any necessary corrective action, including process improvements, was taken. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively such that the information, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of December 31, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s controls and procedures were not effective due to some significant deficiencies (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2) in the our internal controls over financial reporting. This is due to the fact that we do not have accounting personnel with sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) standards and SEC rules and regulations. This could cause us to be unable to fully identify and resolve certain accounting and disclosure issues that could lead to a failure to maintain effective controls over preparation, review and approval of certain significant account reconciliation from Chinese generally accepted accounting principles (“Chinese GAAP”) to US GAAP and necessary journal entries.
The Company has relatively small number of professionals employed by the Company in bookkeeping and accounting functions, which prevents the Company from appropriately segregating duties within its internal control systems. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
Based on the control deficiency identified above, we have designed and plan to implement, or in some cases have already implemented, the specific remediation initiatives described below:
• | We are evaluating the roles of our existing accounting personnel in an effort to realign the reporting structure of our internal auditing staff in China that will test and monitor the implementation of our accounting and internal control procedures. |
19
• | We will begin implementation an initiative and training in China to ensure the importance of internal controls and compliance with established policies and procedures are fully understood throughout the organization and will provide additional U.S. GAAP training to all employees involved with the performance of or compliance with those procedures and policies. |
• | Commencing with the September 30, 2010 period, we have engaged an outside consulting firm in Shanghai with expertise in US GAAP to assist us with our internal financial report process. |
The remedial measures being undertaken may not be fully effectuated or may be insufficient to address the significant deficiencies we identified, and there can be no assurance that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified or occur in the future. If additional significant deficiencies (or if material weaknesses) in our internal controls are discovered or occur in the future, among other similar or related effects: (i) the Company may fail to meet future reporting obligations on a timely basis, (ii) the Company’s consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, (iii) the Company’s business and operating results may be harmed.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
