Market Information
Our common stock did not begin trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) until March 17, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company traded under the symbol “ORGG,” Effective January 31, 2011 the symbol for the Company on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board was changed to “CTOP.”
Information regarding the high and low sales prices for our common stock for each quarterly period within the two most recent fiscal years as reported by OTCBB is summarized as follows:
| | Price Range | |
| | High | | | Low | |
Fiscal 2012 - | | | | | | |

Our common shares are designated as “penny stock”. The SEC has adopted rules (Rules 15g-2 through l5g-6 of the Exchange Act), which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are any non-NASDAQ equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Since our common shares are subject to the penny stock rules, persons holding or receiving such shares may find it more difficult to sell their shares. The market liquidity for the shares could be severely and adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the shares and the ability of shareholders to sell their stock in any secondary market.
The trading volume in our common stock has been and is extremely limited. The limited nature of the trading market can create the potential for significant changes in the trading price for our common stock as a result of relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for common stock and perhaps without regard to our business activities.
The market price of our common stock may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to numerous factors, including: variations in our annual or quarterly financial results or those of our competitors; conditions in the economy in general; announcements of key developments by competitors; loss of key personnel; unfavorable publicity affecting our industry or us; adverse legal events affecting us; and sales of our common stock by existing stockholders.
Dividends
We have not paid any dividends to date. We can give no assurance that our proposed operations will result in sufficient revenues to enable profitable operations or to generate positive cash flow. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will use any funds available to finance the growth of our operations and that we will not pay cash dividends to stockholders. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, restrictions imposed by lenders and financial condition, and other relevant factors.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not authorized any equity compensation plan, nor has our Board of Directors authorized the reservation or issuance of any securities under any equity compensation plan.
Holders
As of April 12, 2013 we have 138 shareholders of record of our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following is a discussion of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Forward Looking Statements
This report contains a number of forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance including statements regarding the Company's projections. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. In this report, the words "anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "future", "plans", "targets" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof. Additionally, these statements are based on certain assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, the Company's dependence on limited cash resources, and its dependence on certain key personnel within the Company. Accordingly, actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the predictions contained herein.
Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition
Overall Operating Results:
Net Sales. For the year ended December 31, 2012, sales were $4,774,156, compared to $12,855,876 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of 63%. This decrease in net sales was due to high competition in online shopping. As such, the Company began the transition from online retail sales to focus more on sales to a relatively smaller number of distributors. The number of distributors decreased from 90 in year 2011 to 58 in year 2012.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $4,877,047, compared to $12,156,963 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of 60%. This decrease in cost of sales was mainly due to the decrease in sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased from $698,913 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to a loss of $102,891 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The gross loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was due to the company ceased its trading business of 3C products and sold all inventory hold at a price lower than cost.
Stock Based Compensation. The Company had stock based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $309,599 and 200,757, respectively. The compensation was issued for various consulting and professional services to the Company. See Note 7 for a thorough discussion of the issuances.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $984,906 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $2,160,375 for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing a 54% decrease. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in staff headcount and accordingly reduction in staff payroll.
Net Loss. The Company’s net loss was $1,393,388 and $1,654,520 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease of 16% resulted primarily from decreased sales and strong cost containment measures during 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company incurred net losses of $1,393,388 and $1,654,520 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, and has accumulated deficit of $5,719,036 at December 31, 2012.
Our independent auditors, in their report on the financial statements, have indicated that the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and may not have enough cash and working capital to fund its operations beyond the very near term, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management has made a similar note in the financial statements. As indicated herein, we have need of capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations. We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our expenses of operations. Unless the Company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company either will have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan.
Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash in excess of FDIC federally insured limits and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting bulletin (“SAB”) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605). Sales revenue is recognized at the completion of delivery to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured at the date of completion of delivery. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
Accounts Receivable/Bad Debt
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded based on the Company’s historical collation history. Allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $178,722 and $1,080, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes previous accounting guidance, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no impairments of its long-lived assets.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the accounting standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” codified in Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 which requires the 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, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (“FIN 48”), codified in FASB ASC Topic 740. When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.
Basic and Diluted Income / (Loss) Per Share
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and preferred shares outstanding. Preferred shares are included in the denominator of basic earnings per share because preferred shares participate with common shares in the earnings and dividends of the Company on a one-for-one basis. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Instrument Topic of the Codification requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Share Based Compensation
Share-based payment is accounted for based on the FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“FAS No. 123R”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” (“EITF 00-18”) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 505-50). The Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income the fair value of shares, stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to non-employees when the service provided by non-employees is completed, or the date when the shares were issued (provided that the shares issued are fully vested and not subject to forfeiture) with the prepaid services presented as contra equity. This is in accordance with the consensus reached in EITF 00-18 that in the event that a note or receivable is acquired in exchange for the fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments, the note or receivable should be displayed as contra-equity by the granter. The Company as granter interprets that the term “receivable” also embraces prepaid service fees. For employees, the Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income the grant date fair value of the shares, stock options and other equity-based compensation over the requisite service period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
China Ceetop.com, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of China Ceetop.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related Consolidated Statements of income and Comprehensive Income, Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. China Ceetop.com, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that out 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 consolidated financial position of China Ceetop.com, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,393,388 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and has accumulated deficit of $5,719,036 at December 31, 2012. These matters are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 1 - ORGANIZATION
China Ceetop.com, Inc. (the “Company” or “China Ceetop”) was incorporated in Oregon on February 18, 2003 under the name of GL Gold Inc. On June 6, 2003 the Company filed an amendment with the State of Oregon changing its name to Oregon Gold, Inc. On January 7, 2011 Oregon Gold Inc. changed its name to China Ceetop.com, Inc.
Surry Holdings Limited (“Surry”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on September 18, 2009. Surry holds 100% of Westow Technology Limited (“Westow”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, which in turn holds 100% of Shenzhen Ceetop Network Technology Co., Limited ("SZ Ceetop"), a company incorporated in Shenzhen, Peoples’ Republic of China ("PRC") and ultimately holds 100% of Hangzhou Ceetop Network Technology Co., Limited ("HZ Ceetop"), a company incorporated in Hangzhou, PRC.
Pursuant to a series of transactions completed in September, 2009, Surry became the holding company of Westow, SZ Ceetop and HZ Ceetop ("Group Reorganization").
Since Surry, Westow, SZ Ceetop and HZ Ceetop were under common control of a controlling party both before and after the completion of the Group Reorganization, the Group Reorganization has been accounted for using merger accounting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis as if Surry had always been the holding company of Westow, SZ Ceetop and HZ Ceetop and this group structure had been in existence throughout the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”.
On January 27, 2011, the Company became the holding company of Surry through a reverse acquisition. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Surry pursuant to the share exchange agreement dated December 30, 2010 by and among Surry, the Company and the shareholders of the Company (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). At the same time, the Company effected a reverse stock split such that the number of all existing issued shares were reduced from 19,900,100 to 866,636 on a 23 to 1 basis. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock and ownership interests of Surry in exchange for 28,496,427 newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock and 3,558,046 newly issued shares of the Company’s series A preferred stock.
Prior to the acquisition of the Surry, the Company was a non-operating public shell. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell with nominal net assets is considered as a capital transaction, rather than a business combination. Accordingly, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition, wherein Surry is considered the acquirer. The assets and liabilities of Surry have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized. The historical financial statements prior to January 27, 2011 are those of Surry.
The Company operates in a single reportable segment, the principal activities of the Company are engaged in the provision of an online platform for distribution of 3C products (computers/communications/consumer electronics) in the PRC by way of a website named www.ceetop.com mainly through its wholly owned legal subsidiaries HZ Ceetop and SZ Ceetop.
These Consolidated Financial Statements present the Company and its subsidiaries on a historical basis.

DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company incurred net losses of $1,393,388 and $1,654,520 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, has accumulated deficit of $5,719,036, and has net deficiency in assets of $143,917 respectively at December 31, 2012. Although as mentioned in Note 6 “Additional Paid in Capital”, a major preferred stock shareholder of the Company has undertaken to inject funds in the amount of RMB10,000,000 (equivalent to $1,547,000) to HZ Ceetop as its working capital on or before December 31, 2011. However, up to December 31, 2012, only RMB2,000,000 (equivalent to $312,412) was injected by that major shareholder and at the same time of injection was waived for repayment by that shareholder so that the amount $312,412 was credited to additional paid in capital. Management is unable and in particular following returning and cancellation of all preferred stock for no consideration on September 5, 2012 (note 6) to ascertain when the balance of RMB8,000,000 (equivalent to $1,234,588) would be injected to the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the cash and bank balances were significantly decreased from $855,713 to $71,608 resulting in the drop of liquidity ratio of the Company to 0.78 at December 31, 2012. These factors create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through additional sales of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2012, a verbal agreement was reached by the Government of Guiyang (the “Government”) and the Company. Under the terms of agreement, the Government will provide subsidies to the Company amounting to RMB10,000,000 (equivalent to $1,547,000) in three consecutive years to encourage the Company to establish the business in the city of Guiyang in order to enhance the economic development of the city. However, the subsidy to the Company from the proposed agreement is remote as the agreement had not been signed by both parties and there is no guarantee it will be signed at all. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation

Note 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Translation Adjustment
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in RMB. Such financial statements were translated into USD in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Codification, with the RMB as the functional currency. According to the Codification, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification, as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income
The Company uses SFAS 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220). Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. There were no contingencies of this type as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. There were no contingencies of this type as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded based on the Company’s historical collation history. Allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $178,722 and $1,080, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower. There is no provision of inventories for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, inventories consist of the following:
| | 12/31/2012 | | | 12/31/2011 | |
| | | | | | |
Finished goods | | $ | - | | | $ | 194,344 | |
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:
Office equipment | 3 - 5 years |
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 Property, Plant & Equipment consist of the following:
| | 12/31/2012 | | | 12/31/2011 | |
| | | | | | |
Office equipment | | | 266,163 | | | | 263,983 | |

| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 17,828 | | | $ | 59,658 | |
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $42,310 and $51,638, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes previous accounting guidance, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no impairments of its long-lived assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Instrument Topic of the Codification requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting bulletin (“SAB”) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605). Sales revenue is recognized at the completion of delivery to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured at the date of completion of delivery. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
Shipping and Handling costs
Shipping and handling costs consist primarily of freight charges and packaging charges for delivery of goods to the customers and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company expenses all shipping and handling costs when they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred freight charges of $6,096 and $124,207 respectively, and packaging charges of $Nil and $2,758 respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the accounting standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” codified in Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 which requires the 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, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (“FIN 48”), codified in FASB ASC Topic 740. When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS 95 “Statement of Cash Flows”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 230, cash flows from the Company’s operations are based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Note 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic Earnings per Share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and preferred shares outstanding. Preferred shares are included in the denominator of basic earnings per share because preferred shares participate with common shares in the earnings and dividends of the Company on a one-for-one basis. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Share-Based payment
Share-based payment is accounted for based on the FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“FAS No. 123R”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” (“EITF 00-18”) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 505-50). The Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income the fair value of shares, stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to non-employees when the service provided by non-employees is completed, or the date when the shares were issued (provided that the shares issued are fully vested and not subject to forfeiture) with the prepaid services presented as contra equity. This is in accordance with the consensus reached in EITF 00-18 that in the event that a note or receivable is acquired in exchange for the fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments, the note or receivable should be displayed as contra-equity by the granter. The Company as granter interprets that the term “receivable” also embraces prepaid service fees. For employees, the Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income the grant date fair value of the shares, stock options and other equity-based compensation over the requisite service period. In respect of the service agreement the Company entered into with a service provider for provision of investor relations and financial media service, the service provider is compensated for 9,000 common shares of the Company no later than the 5th day of and for each month over the period of the agreement. In accordance with the consensus reached in EITF 96-18, the Company recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income the fair value of each 9,000 common shares issued to the service provider each month as share based payment on the same basis in the same period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash for the service rendered by the service provider instead of paying with equity instruments (common shares) of the Company in each month and that the measurement date of the fair value of each 9,000 common shares issued to the service provider will be the issue date which is before the 5th day of each month. However, both parties signed an early termination agreement on August 14, 2012 agreeing that the effective date of termination of the agreement was February 01, 2012. The Company recognized the stock based compensation expense amounted to $720 for this service which was based on stock price measured at fair market value at the date of allotment of shares on August 23, 2012 (9,000 common shares at $0.08 per share). On December 17, 2012, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense amounted to $800 for the legal advice performed by the Company’s legal adviser Mr. Jeffrey Stein which was based on the stock price measured at fair market value at the date of allotment of shares (40,000 common shares at $0.02 per share).
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. At present, there is a high concentration on a few customers as more fully explained in note 12 hereof. The Company controls credit risk related to account receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income.” The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operation or financial condition.
As of December 31, 2012, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 5 - COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock of par value of $0.001 per share and 3,558,046 shares of Series A preferred stock of par value of $0.001 per share. As detailed in Note 1 above, on January 27, 2011, the Company effected a reverse stock split such that the number of all existing issue shares were reduced from 19,900,100 to 866,636 on a 23 to 1 basis. At the same time, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Surry became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through issuance of 28,496,427 shares of common stock of par value of $0.001 per share and 3,558,046 shares of Series A preferred stock of par value of $0.001 per share.
For accounting purpose, this transaction was treated as reverse acquisition and the Company’s equity accounts at December 31, 2010 prior to the acquisition are restated based on the ratio of the exchange of 28,496,427 shares of common stock of the Company for 44,450 shares of common stock of Surry and exchange of 3,558,046 shares of preferred stock of the Company for 5,550 shares of preferred stock of Surry. As the par value of each capital stock of the Company and Surry are $0.001 and $1 respectively, the difference in capital of $17,946 arising from this reverse acquisition was reallocated to additional paid-in capital.
On July 12, 2011, the Company issued 2,900,000 shares of common stock to four independent parties as payments to such parties for market research and other advisory services for $899,000 (see Note 7).

On December 17, 2012, the Company issued common stock of 40,000 shares to an independent party for settlement of services provided to the Company regarding legal advisory services amounted to $800 (Note 7) respectively.

Note 8 - STATUTORY RESERVE
In accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, a wholly-owned Foreign Invested Enterprise’s income, after the payment of the PRC income taxes, shall be allocated to the statutory reserves. The allocation is 10 percent of the net income and the cumulative allocations are not to exceed 50 percent of the registered capital. However, the laws do not prohibit enterprises allocate net income to this reserve after the limit of 50 per cent of registered capital has been reached. These reserves are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has not allocated any amount to these non-distributable reserve funds due to loss sustained in both years.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There are no disagreements with our accountant on accounting and financial disclosure.
ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:
| 1. | As of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
| 2. | As of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Independent Registered Accountant’s Internal Control Attestation
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permanently exempts smaller reporting companies from providing attestation of their internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result, this report does not provide such an attestation, and the Company will be exempted from providing such an attestation until such time as it reaches $75 million in market capitalization.
Corrective Action
Management plans to address the structure of the Board of Directors and discuss adding an audit committee during 2011.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
There is no information to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K that has not been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the last two years, there have been no transactions, or proposed transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which Mr. Zhao (or any member of his immediate family) had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock with the Commission. Such persons are required by Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2012, and upon a review of Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to the year ended December 31, 2012, or upon written representations received by the Company from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons. All the Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such persons with respect to fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were complied with except for the filing of a report on Form 3 by Limin Chen, Xiaohua Jin, Wuying Wang, Hao Xiang Liu, Jiansen Xu, Qiaoling Ye, Haibao Zhou, Weikang Zhu, Feihua Huang.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND FINANCIAL EXPERT
We are not required to have and we do not have an Audit Committee. The Company's sole director performs some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the financial statements; reviewing the auditors' independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
We have no audit committee financial expert. Our directors have financial statement preparation and interpretation ability obtained over the years from past business experience and education. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of the nature of our current limited operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
CODE OF ETHICS
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
| o | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| o | Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Company; |
| o | Compliance with applicable government laws, rules and regulations; |
| o | The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and, |
| o | Accountability for adherence to the code. |
We have not adopted a formal code of ethics statement. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons who are also the officers and directors and many of the persons employed by the Company are independent contractors, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines.
SHAREHOLDER-DIRECTOR COMMUNICATION
We have neither a nominating committee for persons to be proposed as directors for election to the Board of Directors nor a formal method of communicating nominees from shareholders. We do not have any restrictions on shareholder nominations under our certificate of incorporation or by-laws. The only restrictions are those applicable generally under Oregon Corporate Law and the federal proxy rules. Currently the board of directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of one or more members of the board. None of the members of the board of directors are "independent." The board of directors will consider suggestions from individual shareholders, subject to evaluation of the person's merits. Stockholders may communicate nominee suggestions directly to any of the board members, accompanied by biographical details and a statement of support for the nominees. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to being considered for nomination. Although there are no formal criteria for nominees, the board of directors believes that persons should be actively engaged in business endeavors, have a financial background, and be familiar with acquisition strategies and money management.
Because, as of December 31, 2012, the management and director of the Company is the same person, the board of director determined not to adopt a formal methodology for communications from shareholders on the belief that any communication would be brought to the board’s attention by virtue of the co-extensive employment.
The board of directors does not have a formal policy of attendance of directors at the annual meeting. It does encourage such attendance.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview of Compensation Program and Philosophy
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one director and two executive officers. The Board of Director serves as the Company’s compensation committee and initiates and approves compensation decisions.
The goal of the compensation program is to adequately reward the efforts and achievements of executive officers for the management of the Company. ��The Company has no pension plan and no deferred compensation arrangements. The Company has not used a compensation consultant in any capacity.
At this time there are no compensation arrangements in place for our executive officers.
Compensation of Directors
Persons who are directors and employees are not currently additionally compensated for their services as a director. Current directors do not receive compensation for serving as directors of the Company. There is no plan in place for compensation of persons who are directors who are not employees, but it is expected that in the future we will create a remuneration and expense reimbursement plan. It is anticipated that such a plan would be primarily based on stock options.
Employment Agreements
The executive officer of the Company has no employment agreement in place with the Company at this time.
