| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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 references for periods subsequent to July 1, 2009 are based on the codification. The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi; however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in the United States Dollars (“USD”). Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Ceetop Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Investments in business entities, in which the Company does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Translation Adjustment For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 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 (ASC 830), with the RMB as the functional currency. According to the Codification, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate at respective balance sheets dates, 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 (ASC 220), 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” (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, 2014 and 2013 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 un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted 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, 2014 and 2013. 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, 2014 and 2013. 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 instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. Periodically, management assesses
customer credit history and relationships as well as performs accounts receivable aging analysis. Accounts are considered past due after three months. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no allowance was deemed necessary since there was no accounts receivable balance outstanding respectively. Property, Plant 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 for substantially all assets with estimated lives of: Office equipment 3 - 5 years Leasehold improvement 3 years Motor vehicles 10 years As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 Property, Plant & Equipment consist of the following: 12/31/2014 12/31/2013 Office equipment 411,026 406,306 Leasehold improvement - 96,171 Motor vehicles 53,950 54,318 Accumulated depreciation (311,000 ) (290,212 ) $ 153,977 $ 266,583 Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $50,561 and $33,744, respectively. 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 Income and Comprehensive Income. However, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity (loss)/gain-share of investee company” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s carrying value in an investee company under equity method is reflected in the caption ‘‘Equity interest 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 goodwill or depreciable or amortizable assets or liabilities and if assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets, 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. Long-Lived Assets FASB Topic of the Codification (ASC 360) addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. 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, 2014 and 2013, there were no impairments of its long-lived assets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other payables approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest available to the Company. 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. Income Taxes The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes All of the Company’s income is generated in the PRC, and accordingly, its income tax provision is calculated based on the applicable tax rates and existing legislation, interpretation and practices in respect thereof. 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. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. 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. Dilution is computed by applying the if-converted method for convertible preferred stocks. Under this method, convertible preferred stock is assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and preferred dividends (if any) will be added back to determine income applicable to common stock. The shares issuable upon conversion will be added to weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Conversion will be assumed only if it reduces earnings per share (or increases loss per share). 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 consideration for various legal advices performed by the Company’s legal adviser during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized the following stock based compensation expenses in the year:- Date of No. of Fair market value at Amount of expense Name of legal adviser issue issued per share recognized US$ US$ Mr. Jeffrey Stein January 1, 2013 12,000 0.02 240 Mr. Jeffrey Stein May 8, 2013 4,000 1.05 4,200 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 outstanding accounts receivable brought
forward from prior periods as more fully explained in Note 14 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.” On March 4, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon De-recognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-05”) In July of 2013 the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized
Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward exists In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Topic 718. This amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (ASC 810)”. The Board is issuing the amendments in this Update to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. Stakeholders expressed concerns that current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) might require a reporting entity to consolidate another legal entity in situations in which the reporting entity’s contractual rights do not give it the ability to act primarily on its own behalf, the reporting entity does not hold a majority of the legal entity’s voting rights, or the reporting entity is not exposed to a majority of the legal entity’s economic benefits or obligations. Financial statement users asserted that in certain of those situations in which consolidation is ultimately required, deconsolidated financial statements are necessary to better analyze the reporting entity’s economic and operational results. Previously, the FASB issued an indefinite deferral for certain entities to partially address those concerns. However, the amendments in this Update rescind that deferral and address those concerns by making changes to the consolidation guidance. The Board considered stakeholder concerns in conjunction with the objective of general purpose financial reporting, which is to provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders, and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the reporting entity. As a result, the Board is issuing the amendments in this Update, which change the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. As of December 31, 2014, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |
