REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
ALMONDS KISSES LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Almonds Kisses Limited (the “Company”) (“Successor”) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, statement of changes in owners’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2012 and for the period from March 1, 2011 (Inception) to August 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Almonds Kisses Limited as of August 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2012 and for the period from March 1, 2011 (Inception) to August 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses during 2012 and 2011, and has relied on debt financings to fund their operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Basis of presentation
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; valuation allowances for receivables, realizable values for inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its subsidiary as disclosed in note 1. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
As both the Company and its subsidiaries, ADGS and ADGS Tax are under common control, the financial statements of the Company have been presented as if the receipt of assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at their net carrying amount been entered into as of March 1, 2011 in accordance with ASC 805-50-15-6. Accordingly, financial information related to periods prior to the assets and liabilities are that of the Company’s operating subsidiaries.
The accompanying financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. At August 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $566,289 and net liabilities of $693,265. The Company generated a net loss of $196,169 and $146,007 during the years ended August 31, 2012 and for the period from March 1, 2011 (Inception) to August 31, 2011, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm's report on the financial statements as of and for the year ended August 31, 2012, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to continue its efforts to raise funds through debt or equity in the near future to sustain its operations.
Foreign currency translation
The Group uses United States dollars (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The subsidiary within the Company maintain its books and records in their respective functional currency, Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), being the lawful currency in Hong Kong, respectively. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated from H.K. Dollars into U.S. Dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income included in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheets. The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HKD into U.S. Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
| 2012 | | 2011 |
| | | |
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | HK$7.8000=$1 | | HK$7.7998=$1 |
| | | |
Items in statements of income and cash flows | HK$7.7996=$1 | | HK$7.7996=$1 |

2. | Summary of significant accounting policies (…/Cont’d) |
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services are provided and when the collection is probable, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Group generates its revenues from providing professional services under fixed-fee billing arrangements.
In fixed-fee billing arrangements, the Group agrees to a pre-established fee in exchange for a pre-determined set of professional services. Generally, the client agrees to pay a fixed-fee every month over the specified contract term. These contracts are for varying periods and generally permit the client to cancel the contract before the end of the term.
Direct cost of revenue
Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of billable employee compensation and related payroll benefits, the cost of consultants assigned to revenue generating activities and direct expenses billable to clients. Direct cost of revenues does not include an allocation of overhead costs.
Cash
Cash represents cash in banks and cash on hand.
The Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Substantially all of the cash deposits of the Group are held with financial institutions located in the Hong Kong, PRC. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality. The group held no cash equivalents at August 31, 2012 and 2011.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred; major renewals and improvements that extend the lives or increase the capacity of plant assets are capitalized.
When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the reporting period of disposition.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets after taking into account their respective estimated residual value.
The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
| Estimated Life |
Leasehold improvement | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Office equipment | 5 years |
Motor vehicles | 5 years |

Equity-method investment
Affiliated companies, in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for equity-method investment. Equity-method investment adjustments include the Company’s proportionate share of investee income or loss, gains or losses resulting from investee capital transactions, adjustments to recognize certain differences between the Company’s carrying value and the Company’s equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment, impairments, and other adjustments required by the equity method. Gain or losses are realized when such investments are sold.
Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interests represents the 20% interest in ADGS Tax not owned by Almonds.
Purchased intangible assets and goodwill
The Group assesses the useful lives and possible impairment of existing recognized intangible assets when an event occurs that may trigger such a review. Factors considered important which could trigger a review include:
- significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; |
- significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; |
- identification of other impaired assets within a reporting unit; |
- disposition of a significant portion of an operating segment; |
- significant negative industry or economic trends; |
The intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over a period of 10 years.
Assets under capital lease
Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income includes net income and also considers the effect of other changes to stockholders' equity that are not included in the determination of net income, but rather are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The Group reports foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments (those which are considered temporary) as components of comprehensive income.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the fiscal years. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of the common stock plus any effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the if-converted method.
Income taxes
The Group accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes". Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Group records uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax positions will not be sustained.
The Group recognizes interest and penalty related to income tax matters as income tax expense. As of August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, there was no penalty or interest recognized as income tax expenses.
Employee benefits
| i) | Salaries, wages, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and staff welfare are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values. |
| ii) | Contributions to appropriate local contribution retirement schemes pursuant to the relevant labor rules and regulations in Hong Kong which are charged to the cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the statement of operation as and when the related employee service is provided. The Group incurred $13,300 and $Nil for the year ended August 31, 2012 and period from March 1, 2011 (Inception) to August 31, 2011, respectively. |

Fair value measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Group. Unobservable inputs reflect the Group’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
| Level 1 - | Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| Level 2 - | Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
| Level 3 - | Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The Group’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank loans, and accrued liabilities. None of which are held for trading purposes. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of the Group's cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Group believes that the carrying amounts of all of the Group's other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Cash represents cash in bank and cash on hand. Cash as of August 31, 2012 and 2011 consists of the following:
| | August 31, | | | August 31, | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | |
| | | | | | |
Bank balances and cash | | $ | 129,001 | | | $ | 10,907 | |
All cash was kept in Hong Kong, PRC. In Hong Kong, there is currently no rule or regulations mandating on obligatory insurance of bank account. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality.
