Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue” negatives thereof or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.
These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The equity interests of Arki Network Service are legally held directly by Mr. Jian Min Gao and Mr. FeiGao, shareholders and directors of the Company. The effective control of Arki Network Service is held by Arki Beijing and Arki Fuxin through a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Agreements”). As a result of the Contractual Agreements, Arki Beijing and Arki Fuxin maintain the ability to control Arki Network Service, and are entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits from Arki Network Service and are obligated to absorb all of Arki Network Services’ expected losses. Therefore, the Company consolidates Arki Network Service in accordance with SEC Regulation SX-3A-02 and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC in the Company’s Form 10-K on April 1, 2013.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month period have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries based in the PRC, which include America Pine (Beijing), Bio-Tech, Inc., Arki (Beijing), E-Commerce Technology Corp., and America Arki (Fuxin) Network Management Co. Ltd, and 51% majority ownership in Beijing Beitun Trading Co., Ltd. As a result of contractual arrangements with Arki Network Service, the Company consolidates Arki Network Service. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
GOING CONCERN
The Company incurred net loss of $352,951 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.7 million as of June 30, 2013. The Company has a cash balance of $455,176 as of June 30, 2013. In both 2013 and 2012, the Company mainly financed its operations through borrowings from directors and officers and from a shareholder. Payables to related parties amounted to $2,532,794 as of June 30, 2013. Payables to shareholder - Caesar Capital Management Ltd. amounted to $94,179 as of June 30, 2013. There are no formal agreements between the Company and the directors and officers. If the Company cannot generate enough cash flow from its operating activities, it will need to consider other financing methods such as borrowings from banking institutions or raising additional capital through new equity issuances. There are no assurances that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. The Company plans to continue to control its administrative expenses in the coming years as well as further develop its sales from its main business.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires our 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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s functional currency is the local currency in the PRC, the Chinese Yuan (RMB). The financial statements of the Company are translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, FOREIGN CURRENCY MATTERS, using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cumulative translation adjustment of $71,824 and $73,342, respectively, was classified as an item accumulated of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity (deficit) section of the consolidated balance sheets. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the foreign currency translation adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were $(1,518) and $(9,078), respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the foreign currency translation adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were $(2,313) and $(1,371), respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximated their fair values due to short maturities or the applicable interest rates approximated the current market rates.
NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05“Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.”ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. For public entities, the ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The New PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”) Law generally applies a uniform 25% EIT rate to both foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises.
Dividends paid by PRC subsidiaries of the Company out of the profits earned after December 31, 2007 to non-PRC tax resident investors would be subject to PRC withholding tax. The withholding tax is 10%, unless a foreign investor’s tax jurisdiction has a tax treaty with China that provides for a lower withholding tax rate.
Loss before income taxes consists of:

The income tax expenses amounted $841 and $159 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The income tax expenses amounted $505 and $28 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The PRC income tax returns for fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2012 remain open for examination.
The Company has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets on the expected future tax benefits from the net operating loss carry forwards as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.
There is no need for the Company to accrue interest or penalty associated with the uncertain tax positions, and, accordingly, no such accruals have been made in the Company’s account.
The PRC tax law provides a (3-5 years) statute of limitation and the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities during that period. All penalties and interest are expensed as incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no penalties and interest.

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the instrument should be classified as liabilities once the conversion option becomes effective after 180 days due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

Overview
We are primarily engaged in three different businesses: e-commerce services, meat distribution, and debit card business. We operate an online retail platform in China at www.ccmus.com through Arki (Beijing) E-Commerce Technology Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, and an online retail platform at www.ccgusa.com in the United States. We operate our meat distribution business through Beijing Beitun Trading Co., Ltd., our 51% owned subsidiary. The debit card business is operated through America Arki Fuxin Network Management Co. Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary.
Our online retail platforms allow third-party merchants to sell their general merchandise products directly to consumers in China and the United States. We charge third-party merchants a service fee of approximately 5% of the total purchase price with respect to their general merchandise sold through our website. We also receive advertising fees from third-party merchants if they advertise products through our website. To incentivize our customers, we give our member customers bonus points for each purchase, to be used for cash value in their next purchase. As our customers accumulate bonus points, they receive membership upgrade, special discounts, increased bonus points award. Our member customers may also receive awards from our daily sweepstakes program.
Through Beijing Beitun Trading Co., Ltd., we purchase meats from suppliers and distribute them to restaurants and food producers in China.
We collaborate with Bank of Fuxin to issue cobranded debit cards. We charge participating merchants a transaction fee of 1% to 5% for each purchase using our cobranded debit cards. Our cardholders obtain cash rewards with their purchases through our online retail platform. As of June 30, 2013, our collaborating bank is still in the process of testing thesystem required for debit card issuance, and we have not realized any revenue from this segment of business.We expect to start our debit card operation in 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make 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 as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our financial statements.

We do not have any variable interests in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that we continued to have the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013:
| • | The Company does not have sufficient number of personnel to provide segregation within the functions consistent with the objectives of internal control. |
| • | The Company’s accounting personnel does not possess appropriate knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP, and therefore face significant difficulties in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including but not limited to accounting for equity transactions. |
Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures at June 30, 2013 were not effective.
Our management team and other key personnel perform monitoring and other key control activities in an attempt to ensure the accuracy of the Company’s filings. Management intends to remediate these material weaknesses as soon as practicable after the Company’s financial position permits.
In addition, the Company continues to assess its internal controls and procedures in light of these recent events and determine additional appropriate actions to take to remediate these material weaknesses.
Changes in internal controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

• | | in the event that the Company makes a public announcement for any fundamental corporate change (such as consolidation or merger, disposition of substantially all of the assets, or takeover), from such announcement date to the date such fundamental corporate change is consummated or terminated or abandoned, the initial conversion shall be adjusted to equal the lower of (x) the conversion price that would have been applicable for a conversion on the announcement date and (y) the conversion price that would otherwise be in effect. |
• | | if and when the Note is outstanding, the Company issues, shares of its commons stock or securities that is exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into the Company’s common stock, or purchase rights, at a price less than the conversion price in effect on the date of these issuances or for no consideration, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower issuance price. |
The Note contains, among other customary events of default,events of default upon failure to issue shares upon conversion through willful or deliberate hindrances, failure to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, restatement of certain financial statements, and a cross default provision with any agreements between the Company and Asher Enterprises or its affiliate. Upon default, the Company becomes obligated to make a payment in an amount from 100%, 150% to 200% of the Default Sum (as defined below), depending on the triggering event of default. The Default Sum represents 150% of the sum of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest, and any penalty for failure to reserve sufficient authorized shares and timely delivery of conversion shares. The amount of unpaid and past due principal or interest bears a 22% default interest.
The Company may prepay the Note, in full, (i) within thirty 30 days following the issue date, if the Company makes a payment equal to 110% of the sum of any outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and default interest, (ii) between the 31st days following the issue date and the sixtieth 60th day following the issue date, if the Company makes a payment equal to 115% of the sum of any outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and default interest, (iii) between the 61st days following the issue date and the 90th day following the issue date, if the Company makes a payment equal to 120% of the sum of any outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and default interest, (iv) between the 91st days following the issue date and the 120th day following the issue date, if the Company makes a payment equal to 125% of the sum of any outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and default interest, (v) between the 121st days following the issue date and the 180th day following the issue date, if the Company makes a payment equal to 130% of the sum of any outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and default interest.
