Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company adopted the new accounting guidance (“Codification”) on July 1, 2009. All reference for periods subsequent to July 1, 2009 are based on the Codification. The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Yuan (“Renminbi”, “RMB”); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in the United States Dollars (“$”). |
Principles of Consolidation | ' |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
|
|
The Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the financial statement items of the combining entities or businesses in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under the control of the controlling party. |
|
|
|
The net assets of the combining entities or businesses are combined using the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount is recognized in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling party’s interest. |
|
|
|
The Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss include the results of each of the combining entities or businesses from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities or businesses first came under common control, where this is a shorter period. |
|
|
|
A business combination involving entities or businesses under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. Such business combinations are referred to as common control combinations which is in line with U.S. GAAP. |
Translation Adjustment | ' |
|
Translation Adjustment |
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. |
Equity Method Investments | ' |
|
Equity Method Investments |
|
|
|
In accordance with ASC 323, accounting for equity method investments, investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is however reflected in the caption “Equity (loss)/gain-share of investee company” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company’s carrying value in an investee company under equity method is reflected in the caption ‘‘Equity investment in an Investee company’’ in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
|
|
|
When the Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company has guaranteed the obligations of the investee company or has committed additional funding to finance the investee company. When the investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized. |
|
|
|
With respect to the difference between investor cost and underlying equity in net assets of investee at date of investment (basis difference), ASC 323 requires this difference to be assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets or liabilities and the basis difference should be amortized or depreciated in connection with the income/loss recognized by the investor of their proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss. This effectively adjusts the investee basis to the investor’s basis, generally over a period of time. |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | ' |
|
Unaudited Interim Financial Information |
|
|
|
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. |
|
|
|
The consolidated balance sheets and certain comparative information as of December 31, 2013 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Financial Statements”), included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2013 Annual Financial Statements. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
|
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. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
|
Recent accounting pronouncements |
|
|
|
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a converged standard on revenue recognition. The new pronouncement requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASC 2014-9 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |

|
|
As of June 30, 2014, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |
