PART I
China Du Kang Co., Ltd (“Du Kang” or the “Company”) was incorporated as U.S. Power Systems, Inc. in the State of Nevada on January 16, 1987. On or about June 8, 2006, the Company’s name was changed to Premier Organic Farms Group, Inc. On or about November 30, 2006, the name was changed to Amstar Financial Holdings, Inc. (“AFLH”). On or about March 18, 2008, the name was changed to its current name of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. with its corporate charter still residing in Nevada. The Company changed its fiscal year ending from September 30 to December 31 in February 2008.
Overview
The Company had been engaged in the business of providing various financial services since its incorporation. The Company was not successful and discontinued the majority of its operation by December 31, 2007.
On January 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Plan of Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hong Kong Merit Enterprise Limited (“Merit”), a holding company incorporated in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue post-split 88,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholder(s) of Merit in exchange for Merit transfering all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock to the Company, thereby causing Merit to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Merit also agreed to pay $260,000 to the Company at closing. The parties closed the transaction contemplated by the Agreement on February 11, 2008.
This transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, since the shareholders of Merit own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the share exchange. Merit is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets, liabilities and historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the share exchange are those of Merit and its subsidiaries and are recorded at the historical cost basis. After completion of the share exchange, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of both Du Kang and Merit, the historical operations of Merit and the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the share exchange.
Merit was incorporated on September 8, 2006 in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinances as a limited liability company. Merit was formed for the purpose of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity organized as a private corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship.
On January 22, 2008, Merit entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the owners of Shaanxi Huitong Food Co., Inc. ("Huitong"), a limited liability company incorporated in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") on August 9, 2007 with a registered capital of $128,200 (RMB1,000,000). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Merit agreed to purchase 100% of the equity ownership in Huitong for a cash consideration of $136,722 (RMB 1,000,000). Subsequent to the completion of the Agreement, Huitong became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merit.
Huitong was formed for the purpose of seeking and consummating a merger or acquisition with a business entity organized as a private corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. On December 26, 2007, Huitong executed a share exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the owners of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. ("Xidenghui"), whereby Huitong exchanged 100% of its issued and outstanding capital for 98.24% of the equity ownership in Xidenghui. Subsequent to completion of the Share Exchange, Xidenghui became a majority-owned subsidiary of Huitong.
Xidenghui was incorporated in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, PRC on March 29, 2001 under the Company Law of PRC. Xidenghui was engaged in the business of production and distribution of distilled spirit with a brand name of “Xidenghui.” Currently, its principal business is to hold an equity ownership interest in Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd. (“Baishui Dukang”), and Shaanxi Yellow-river Bay Wenquan Lake Park Co., Ltd. ("Yellow-river Bay Park"). Since January 2012, Xidenghui also distributes liquor that is manufactured by Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd. (“Baishui Dukang”), one of our operating subsidiaries.
Baishui Dukang was incorporated in Baishui County, Shaanxi Province, PRC on March 1, 2002 under the Company Law of PRC. Baishui Dukang was principally engaged in the business of production and distribution of distilled spirits with a brand name of “Baishui Dukang.” On May 15, 2002, Xidenghui invested inventory and fixed assets, with a total fair value of $4,470,219 (RMB 37,000,000), to Baishui Dukang and owns 90.51% of Baishui Dukang’s equity interest ownership, thereby causing Baishui Dukang to become a majority-owned subsidiary of Xidenghui.
On October 30, 2007, Xidenghui executed an agreement with Mr. Zhang Hongjun, a PRC citizen, to establish a joint venture, Shaanxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Brand Management Co., Ltd. ("Brand Management"). Pursuant to the agreement, Xidenghui contributed cash of $769,200 (RMB 700,000), and owns 70% equity interest ownership therein. Brand Management was subsequently incorporated on November 12, 2007. Upon the completion of incorporation, Brand Management became a majority-owned subsidiary of Xidenghui. Xidenghui is principally engaged in the business of distribution of Baishui Dukang’s liquor and management of the “Baishui Dukang” brand name.
Baishui Dukang and Brand Management are the two affiliated companies that are engaged in business operations. Du Kang, Merit, Huitong, and Xidenghui are holding companies, whose business is to hold an equity ownership interest in Baishui Dukang and Brand Management. All these affiliated companies are hereafter referred to as the "Company." Currently the Company is principally engaged in the business of production and distribution of distilled spirits with the brand name of “Baishui Dukang.” The Company also licenses the brand name to other liquor producers. The Company's structure is summarized in the flow chart found in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Previous to this, on or about October 25, 2006 a Definitive Agreement was entered into by Premier Organic Farms Group, Inc. and Amstar International, Inc. On or about December 19, 2006, the merger defined in this agreement was closed. In the definitive agreement Amstar International, Inc. was to merge with Premier Organic Farms Group, Inc. (PFOG). Prior to the merger, PFOG was to change its name to Amstar Financial Holdings, Inc, dilute their shares down to approximately 608,771 shares with 96.12% of the ownership passing to Amstar International Stockholders. In addition, as part of the terms of this agreement a favorable hearing before a judge of competent jurisdiction, regarding a petition of fairness subject to section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 was to be approved. An order granting this petition of fairness was signed on December 18, 2006 by a judge in the State of Nevada, County of Elko, Case number CV-C-06-1016. This transaction closed on December 19, 2006, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Baishui Dukang Liquor Factory was built as a State owned enterprise in the middle of 1970s with about 400 employees. By the early 1990’s it was no longer profitable and Baishui stopped manufacturing in the early 90’s. The Sanjiu Group acquired the facility in 1995, restarted and attempted to operate for one year. Unable to attain profitability, the Sanjiu Group closed the facility in 1998 and it remained closed until Baishui Dukang leased the facility on March 4, 2002.
On March 4, 2002, Baishui Dukang signed a lease agreement with Shaanxi Sanjiu Dukang Liquor Production Co., Ltd ("Sanjiu"), pursuant to which Baishui Dukang agreed to lease the liquor production facility of Sanjiu, including all the fixed assets and the piece of land that the fixed assets attached, for a period of 20 years, which was subsequently extended to 30 years. On February 3, 2005, Sanjiu was acquired by Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Development Co., Ltd, an affiliate of the Company. On April 30, 2005, Baishui Dukang signed a complementary lease agreement with Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Development Co., Ltd, pursuant to which Baishui Dukang agreed to continue to lease the liquor production facility for the rest of the original 30-year period. Baishui Dukang also agreed to pay $362,450 (RMB 3,000,000) to the local government to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. All the pension and unemployment insurance payments were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance expenses that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees.
From that time until the present, the Baishui facility has been the Company’s exclusive manufacturing facility and the Company has continued to market the lines that were originally offered by the Baishui Dukang Liquor Factory. The Company has made significant improvements to the facility and expects to continue to improve the facility.
Current Operations
Hong Kong Merit Enterprise Limited (“Merit”), a Hong Kong holding company, wholly owns Shaanxi Huitong Food Development Co., Inc. (“Huitong”), a PRC holding company, which majority owns Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. (“Xidenghui”), which in turn majority owns Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co., Ltd. (“Bai Shui Du Kang”).
On or about January 31, 2008, Merit purchased a majority interest in Amstar Financial Holdings, Inc. (formerly AFLH) in a reverse merger. The Company’s new name is China Du Kang Company Limited now listed as CDKG.
On the date of the reverse merger, Xidenghui’s registered capital was $19,485,320 (RMB 161,280,000) and Merit owed 98.24% of Xidenghui. On October 1, 2011, Xidenghui increased it registered capital to $ $23,901,671 (RMB 189,174,108) and Merit owns 83.75% Xidenghui.
On December 10, 2013, the Board of Directors of China Du Kang Co. Ltd., authorized a restructuring of the equity ownership and capital of its Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co., Ltd. subsidiary (“Du Kang Liquor Co.”), which is the Chinese subsidiary that is the exclusive manufacturing facility that distills the Company’s proprietary line of white wines and liquors.
Prior to the restructuring, Shaanxi Xi Deng Hui Science & Technology Industrial Stock Co., Ltd. owned

· | 7.9% Shaanxi Yellow-river Bay Wenquan Lake Park Co., Ltd. with $1,950,775 (RMB 12,000,000) capital investment |
As a result of the restructuring, the capital investment in Du Kang Liquor Co. increased from 46,380,000 RMB to 82,300,000 RMB. In addition, Xi Deng Hui will dispose of its investment in Bashui Liquor Brand Management.
Shaanxi Xi Deng Hui Stock Co. Ltd. owns
· | 51% and controls Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co., Ltd., with $5,071,463 (RMB 41,976,500) capital investment |
· | 18% Shaanxi Yellow-river Bay Wenquan Lake Park Co., Ltd. with $2,013,641 (RMB 12,311,398) |
Principal Products
The Company manufactures, sells, and distributes a proprietary line of white wines that are generally known in China under the heading Du Kang. The largest sellers are currently collections called the “Baishui Dukang” series, the Thirteen Dynasties series and Jiu Zu Gong.
Du Kang is a generic description, like “vodka” or “merlot” and is one of the most famous Chinese white wine brands. The Company’s subsidiaries Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co. Ltd and Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang own the “Bai Shui Du Kang” brand, while another subsidiary, owns three brands:
● | Bai Shui Du Kang |
● | Thirteen Dynasties, and |
● | Jiu Zu Gong. |
At present, Du Kang has a 6,000 ton production capacity per year including brewing and packaging. Liquor product unit prices range from $2.00 to $150.00. Our Du Kang Liquor products are sold in most cities in China. In northeast, north, south coastal region and middle areas of China, we sell liquor through long-term liquor distributors. In Shaanxi province we sell liquor to agent stores in Xi’an, Bai Shui, Hua yin, Han Cheng, Fu Ping Pu Cheng, Da Li, Wei Nan city. Throughout China, the Du Kang market sales, awareness and brand image is broadening.
Through its subsidiaries in China, the Company sells and develops new and additional liquors, liquor raw materials, deep processing of agricultural and sideline products and research and development of high-tech products and brewing methods. We were the first company, in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to ship Du Kang yeast and grain aboard #3 and #7 Shenzou spaceflights for a series of scientific experiments designed to improve yield and flavors. No newly developed products have entered the market since 2008. We are currently focusing on expanding distribution of existing brands, so we have devoted only minimal resources to research and development activities in the past two years.
Major products include the Baishui Dukang series, Thirteen Dynasties series, Shen Zhou Nectar, Guo Bin Special, and Jiu Zu Gong.
Distribution methods of the products or services
The Company set a new sales strategy, including sales territory that covers many counties in China since July 2007. Du Kang Liquor products previously have been sold mostly in the larger cities in China. Beginning from 2008, we put in place distributorship agreements in the form of agencies or licensing that now includes the northeast, north, south coastal region and middle areas of China.
We derive our revenue principally from:
● | Sales of liquor within China generally through long-term liquor distributors (“Distributor”), with which the Company entered into distributorship agreements. |
| o | The Company’s distribution agreements grant the distributor the exclusive right to distribute the Company’s products within a defined territory. Each distributor agreement provides an area within the PRC that is exclusive to the distributor for a 5-year exclusive period. Each Distributor Agreement specifies the Du Kang products that are to be sold, with the Thirteen Dynasties series being the most prevalent. Pricing of the products is according to the China Du Kang pricing policies. Terms include account settlement procedures, duties pertaining to licenses, packaging and sales conduct. The distributors are required to provide reports, protect the trademarks and copyrights and dispute resolution procedures. |
Dependence on Major Customers
Shaanxi Dukang Group Co., Ltd., accounted for approximately 36.64% and 41.59% of the sales of our products for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company has all the certificates required to be issued by the Chinese government pertaining to production and sales of liquor, such as the Production License, Trade Mark Registration Certificate, etc. All these certificates are in force.
We believe we have full rights to the intellectual property required for sales in China. We have been contacted by a U.S. group that indicates that they have a prior right to the name “Du Kang” within the United States.
We derive revenue from distributors and agents as following:
| | | | For the Year Ended December 31, | |

Competitive Business Conditions
While management is pleased at the progress of the distribution of its Du Kang liquors, it remains a relatively insignificant participant in the liquor and beverage industry. Many of our competitors are larger and have significantly more financial resources. We were recently awarded inclusion in China’s top 500 large and medium sized beverage manufacturers. An article in the April 15, 2009 edition of "The Atlantic" magazine (Risen, The Atlantic, April 15, 2009) reported that "Maotai," a "baijiu" type of white liquor that is competitive, was the largest selling liquor in the world. The article notes that Maotai is somewhat expensive, the bottle tested cost $115 USD, smells of ammonia, and has a bitter taste.
A February, 2010 issue of the newspaper China Daily (Qingfen and Yue, China Daily, February 2, 2010) also noted that "Moutai and Wuliangye," two higher end liquors were selling briskly. Both Moutai and Wuliangy are products that compete with the Company’s liquors. The article quoted a report from a China investment firm that said,
The Company believes that its Du Kang series is positioned well against the larger sellers and should enjoy increased sales if the liquor market overall improves.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The raw material needed in our production is mainly grain. The Company purchases sorghum from farmers in the northeast and other wholesalers. While its price fluctuates in response to market conditions, availability has never been an issue. In addition, the Company expects to enter into a contract of quota system for the production by local farmers to purchase some of the other required raw materials such as wheat and corn.
Dependence on Major Suppliers
We rely on a limited number of suppliers for our component parts and raw materials. Although there are many suppliers for each of our component parts and raw materials, we are dependent on a limited number of suppliers for many of the significant components and raw materials. This reliance involves a number of significant potential risks, including:
· | lack of availability of materials and interruptions in delivery of components and raw materials from our suppliers; |
· | manufacturing delays caused by such lack of availability or interruptions in delivery; |
· | fluctuations in the quality and the price of components and raw materials, in particular due to the petroleum price impact on such materials; and |
· | risks related to foreign operations. |
We generally do not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our suppliers.
Our major suppliers consist of the following:

| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Major | | Type of | | | | | Percentage of | | | | | | Percentage of | |

Total | | | | $ | 826,218 | | | | 40.77 | % | | | 907,534 | | | | 24.20 | % |
Our failure to maintain existing relationships with our suppliers or to establish new relationships in the future could also negatively affect our ability to obtain our components and raw materials used in our products in a timely manner. If we are unable to obtain ample supply of products from our existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, we may be unable to satisfy our customers’ orders, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues and our relationship with our customers.
Regulation
We are currently regulated by Peoples Government of Shaanxi Province approved Business License, Organization Code of PRC. We have obtained and maintain China Manufacture Certificate, Sanitation License and Food Security permits for Shaanxi Bai Shui Du Kang Liquor Co., Ltd.
The greatest impact of government regulation for our business is the change of tax policy. In China, white spirit production belongs to a traditionally high tax industry. However, the Company's location, Bai Shui County, is rated as a national level poor county. The Company is considered to be a pillar enterprise and major enterprise tax payer in Bai Shui County.
Employees
The Company currently has 192 full time employees. During peak seasons, the Company hires temporary workers and typically has approximately 250 part time employees during these periods. The Company currently has no part time employees.
All officers and directors, except Liu Su Ying, are employed on a full time basis and devote their full time of at least 40 hours per week to the Company. Ms. Liu devotes approximately 70% of her time each week to the Company as its CFO.
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws
Company’s main product is liquor, and the raw material for liquor production is grain and water. The water is taken from Dukang spring, a fresh water aquifer that has a history of thousands of years. The Company’s manufacturing process meets the national standard for environmental protection. Moreover, the Company was commended as a “Manufacturing Enterprise to Recycle Energy” by the government of Shaanxi province.
In recent years, the Company has refurbished its production equipment, factory, building, boiler, water line, electricity and air to improve its efficiency. In addition, the Company has invested in recovery processing of the distillers grains produced in liquor-making in order to produce the fodder.

Leased Assets
On March 4, 2002, Baishui Dukang signed a lease agreement with Shaanxi Sanjiu Dukang Liquor Production Co., Ltd ("Sanjiu"), pursuant to which Baishui Dukang agreed to lease the liquor production facility of Sanjiu, including all the fixed assets and the piece of land that the fixed assets attached, for a period of 20 years, which was subsequently extended to 30 years. On February 3, 2005, Sanjiu was acquired by Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Development Co., Ltd, an affiliate of the Company.

Baishui Dukang also agreed to pay $362,450 (RMB 3,000,000) to the local government to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. All the pension and unemployment insurance payments were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance expenses that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees.
Pursuant to the lease agreement, Baishui Dukang is required to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees until they all reach their retirement age. Pursuant to the applicable laws in PRC, male employees retire when they reach 60 years old, while female employees retire when they reach 55 years old. Accordingly, Sanjiu’s original employees will gradually retire until Year 2032. The pension and unemployment insurance expenses are based on a certain percentage of the employees’ gross payroll. The percentage may be changed as the applicable law is amended. In practice, the expenses can be based on the local average salary published by the local government. Over the life of the lease, Management anticipates the percentage will remain the same while the local average salary will increase 4% annually. The number of employees for which we need to absorb pension and unemployment insurance expenses will gradually decrease as Sanjiu’s original employees reach their retirement ages. To the best of our estimation, we anticipate the future payment for pension and unemployment insurance expenses for Sanjiu’s original employees as rental payments as follows:
Year | Pension Insurance Expense | Unemployment Insurance Expense | Total | Present Value as of December 31, 2013 (the incremental interest rate is 8%) |
Province average salary (RMB) | Annual increase rate | Percentage | No. of employees | Estimated pension insurance expense (RMB) | City average salary (RMB) | Annual increase rate | Percentage | No. of employees | Estimated pension insurance expense | USD$1.00=RMB¥6.15140 @12/31/2013 |

OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses increased from $1,094,696 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $1,398,969 for the year ended December 31, 2013, representing an increase of $304,273 or approximately 27.8%. The increase in operating expenses was largely due to the increase in selling expenses of $562,278.
Selling expenses increased $562,278 or 255.2% from $220,313 in the year ended December 31, 2012 to $782,591 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our general and administrative expenses decreased from $874,383 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $616,378 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was largely attributed to the decrease of $88,550 in repair and maintenance, $42,537 in office expenses, and $34,351 in travel and entertainment expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized bad debt expense of $94,862 as compared to $158,232 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $63,370.
Other general and administrative expenses that increased over the year include depreciation and amortization expenses, while other general administrative expenses decreased $2,629, or 22.32%.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
We have incurred total interest expense of $41,106 and $32,194 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increased interest expenses related to a capital lease.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we received $306,542 and $273,741, respectively, from the local government as a subsidy to encourage growth and for expansion of our business in the local area of China.
INCOME/(LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS
The Company experienced income from continuing operations of $391,437 and $826,968 in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net income was $300,136 and $924,661, which was offset by net income (loss) from discontinued operations of $(91,301) and $97,693 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow
| | For the year ended December 31, 2013 | | | For the year ended December 31, 2012 | |
Net Cash provided by Operating Activities | | $ | 586,057 | | | $ | 107,392 | |
Net Cash used in Investing Activities | | $ | (390,922 | ) | | $ | (203,332 | ) |
Net Cash used in Financing Activities | | $ | (72,924 | ) | | $ | (191,368 | ) |
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash | | $ | 122,211 | | | $ | (294,410 | ) |
Net cash provided by operating activities was $586,057 and $107,392 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The changes in cash provided by operating activities primarily consist of increase in inventory of $1,335,331 and accounts payables of $1,192,226, with a decrease in prepaid expenses of $803,851. Our accounts payable increased as a result of purchases of raw materials for production. Our prepaid expenses decreased as our construction projects were completed and converted to fixed assets. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations were $(155,690) and $587,129 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities increased from $210,434 to $390,922 for the years ended December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company has invested in a new factory building and warehouse as well as machinery and equipment to increase its production capacity. The Company experienced net cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations in the amount of $114,506 for the disposal of subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Net cash used in financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $72,924 and $191,368, respectively. The majority of the change was attributed to repayment of capital lease principal and related parties advances.
Working Capital
| | At December 31, | | | At December 31, |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 |
Current Assets | | $ | 10,020,259 | | | $ | 9,456,149 | |
Current Liabilities | | $ | 4,618,833 | | | $ | 6,470,431 | |
Working Capital (Deficit) | | $ | 5,401,246 | | | $ | 2,985,718 | |
Total assets at the periods ending December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $21,036,597 and $17,608,341, which was primarily attributable to the increase of inventory and fixed assets.
Property, plant and equipment increased from $4,237,404 at December 31, 2012 to $7,023,716 at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributed to the addition of an office building as a capital contribution of Baishui Dukang.
Total liabilities decreased from $6,470,431 at December 31, 2012 to $4,618,833 at December 31, 2013, which resulted from the disposition of subsidiary’s liabilities.
We have cash of $527,521 and $541,246 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We believe that we have sufficient cash to fund operations for approximately 12 months, assuming that sales and margins remain constant.
Our liquidity is dependent upon the continuation of and expansion of our operations, receipt of revenues and additional infusions of capital provided by equity and debt financing. Demand for our products is dependent on market acceptance of our liquor and conditions in the liquor and general beverage markets, and general economic conditions. All of our products are currently sold in the People’s Republic of China and are heavily dependent on the economy, exchange rates, and consumption habits within the People’s Republic of China. Many of these factors are cyclical and beyond the control of management.
We have historically funded our cash needs through a series of debt transactions, primarily with related parties. These related party loans have operated as informal lines of credit since the inception of the Company, and related parties have extended credit as needed, which the Company has repaid at its convenience. Our officers and directors and related parties have assured us that they will continue to provide capital infusions sufficient to fund operations over the next 12 months as needed, but they are under no legal obligation to do so. If our related parties are unable or unwilling to provide additional capital infusions we would likely require additional financing, which would likely be on more unfavorable terms. If we are unable to attain additional capital there would likely be a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
Loans from these related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment, and therefore, deemed payable on demand. Accordingly, we have not paid any interest for these loans, as more fully disclosed in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures, including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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.” This standard requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit be presented on a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions to this rule. If certain exception conditions exist, an entity should present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this provision did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters. This standard provides additional guidance with respect to the reclassification into income of the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with a foreign entity of a parent company. The ASU differentiates between transactions occurring within a foreign entity and transactions/events affecting an investment in a foreign entity. For transactions within a foreign entity, the full CTA associated with the foreign entity would be reclassified into income only when the sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within the foreign entity represents the substantially complete liquidation of that foreign entity. For transactions/events affecting an investment in a foreign entity (for example, control or ownership of shares in a foreign entity), the full CTA associated with the foreign entity would be reclassified into income only if the parent no longer has a controlling interest in that foreign entity as a result of the transaction/event. In addition, acquisitions of a foreign entity completed in stages will trigger release of the CTA associated with an equity method investment in that entity at the point a controlling interest in the foreign entity is obtained. This ASU is effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2014, with early adoption permitted. This ASU would impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition only in the instance of an event/transaction as described above.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under this standard, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. For the Company, this ASU is effective beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results or disclosures.
The Company believes that there were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the Certifying Officers) are responsible for maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The controls and procedures established by us are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2013.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
· | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
· | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use of or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. 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. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings
None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
● | any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
● | any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
● | being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |
● | being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
Meetings of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors took all actions by unanimous written consent without a meeting during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Director Compensation
We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for their services in their capacity as directors.
Significant Employees
Other than the directors and officers described above, we do not expect any other individuals to make a significant contribution to our business.
Audit Committee and Other Committees
We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Pursuant to Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of our financial statements. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee. In connection with these new requirements, our Board of Directors examined the Commission's definition of "audit committee financial expert" and concluded that we do not currently have a person that qualifies as such an expert. We have had minimal operations for the past two (2) years. Presently, there are only one (1) director serving on our Board, and we are not in a position at this time to attract, retain and compensate additional directors in order to acquire a director who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert," but we intend to retain an additional director who will qualify as such an expert, as soon as reasonably practicable. While neither of our current directors meets the qualifications of an "audit committee financial expert," each of our directors, by virtue of his past employment experience, has considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and has significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, we believe that our current director capably fulfill the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such an expert.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethic (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to our principal chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is designed with the intent to deter wrongdoing, and to promote the following:
● | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships |
● | Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a small business issuer files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the small business issuer |
● | Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations |
● | The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code |
● | Accountability for adherence to the code |
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and we are required to report, in this Form 10-K, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by our executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock. In making this statement, we have relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by us, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons that no Form 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership) was required to be filed under applicable rules of the Commission.
ITEM 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
We maintain a peer-based executive compensation program comprised of fixed and performance variable elements. The design and operation of the program reflect the following objectives:
● | Recruiting and retaining talented leadership. |
● | Implementing measurable performance targets. |
● | Correlating compensation directly with shareowner value. |
● | Emphasizing performance based compensation, progressively weighted with seniority level. |
● | Adherence to high ethical, safety and leadership standards. |
Designing a Competitive Compensation Package
Recruitment and retention of leadership to manage our Company requires a competitive compensation package. Our Board of Directors emphasizes (i) fixed compensation elements of base salary that compare with our compensation peer group of companies, and (ii) variable compensation contingent on above-target performance. The compensation peer group consists of those companies in the Guangdong region that we deem to compete with our Company for executive talent. Individual compensation will vary depending on factors such as performance, job scope, abilities, tenure, and retention risk.
Fixed Compensation
The principal element of fixed compensation not directly linked to performance targets is based salary. We target the value of fixed compensation generally at the median of our compensation peer group to facilitate a competitive recruitment and retention strategy.
Incentive Compensation
Our incentive compensation programs are linked directly to earnings growth, cash flow, and total shareowner return. Annual bonuses are tied to the current year’s performance of our company. Restrictive stock awards are tied to an individual's success in exceeding targeted results set by management.
No compensation was awarded to or paid to any executive officer or director of the Company other than as shown in the table below.
The following table and the accompanying notes provide summary information for each of the last three fiscal years concerning cash and non-cash compensation paid or accrued.

ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES |
Fees Billed For Audit and Non-Audit Services
The following table presents the aggregate fees billed for professional audit services rendered by independent auditor, Keith Zhen CPA (Zhen), for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Audit fees and other fees of the auditor are listed as follows:
Year Ended December 31 | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | | | | | |
Audit Fees (1) | | $ | 55,000 | | | $ | 55,000 | |
Audit-Related Fees (2) | | | -- | | | | -- | |
Tax Fees (3) | | | -- | | | | -- | |
All Other Fees (4) | | | -- | | | | -- | |
Total Accounting Fees and Services | | $ | 55,000 | | | $ | 55,000 | |
(1) | Audit Fees. These are fees for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements, and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. |
(2) | Audit-Related Fees. These are fees for the assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of our financial statements. |
(3) | Tax Fees. These are fees for professional services with respect to tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. |
(4) | All Other Fees. These are fees for permissible work that does not fall within any of the other fee categories, i.e., Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, or Tax Fees. |
Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services
We do not have a standing audit committee. The full Board performs all functions of an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before we engage an accountant. All of the services rendered to us by Keith Zhen CPA were pre-approved by our Board of Directors.
We plan to work with our legal counsel to establish formal pre-approval policies and procedures for future engagements of our accountants. The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that our new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditor's engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the President or Controller, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services, provided that the estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditor's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CHINA DU KANG CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 11 - | DISCONTINUED OPERATION |
On October 30, 2007, Xidenghui executed an agreement with Mr. Zhang Hongjun, a PRC citizen, to establish a joint venture, Shaanxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Brand Management Co., Ltd. ("Brand Management"). Pursuant to the agreement, Xidenghui contributed cash of $95,704 (RMB 700,000), and owns 70% equity interest ownership therein. Brand Management was subsequently incorporated on November 12, 2007. Upon the completion of incorporation, Brand Management became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Xidenghui. Brand Management is principally engaged in the business of managing the franchise of the “Baishui Du Kang” brand name.
On December 10, 2013, Xidenghui transferred its 70% equity ownership interest in Brand Management to Mr. Zhang, Hongjun for $114,506 (RMB 700,000), which equals to 70% of Brand Management's registered capital. Upon completion of the transaction, Brand Management is no longer a subsidiary of Xidenghui. Since this disposal is a transaction between entities under common control, the Company recorded the transaction on the historical carrying values. No gain or loss is recognized for the disposal.
The carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation were as follows:

Merit is a holding company registered in Hong Kong and has no operating profit or tax liabilities during the period. The Company is subject to 16.5% income tax on its taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong. Merit had no income during the periods presented.
PRC income tax
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries, Huitong, Xidenghui, Dukang, and Brand Management, are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law of PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws ("the Income Tax Laws").
Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law replaced the old laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”).
The key changes are:
a. The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaces the 33% rate applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies that pay a reduced rate of 15%;
b. Companies established before March 16, 2007 continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by local government for a grace period of either the next 5 years or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is sooner.
In addition, the new EIT also grants tax holidays to entities operating in certain beneficial industries, such as the agriculture, fishing, and environmental protection. Entities in beneficial industries enjoy a three-year period tax exempt and a three-year period with 50% reduction in the income tax rates.
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries, Huitong Xidenghui, Dukang, and Brand Management are subject to effective income tax rate of 25% beginning from January 1, 2008.
The provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

Another subsidiary, Xidenghui, incurred a profit of $289,838 and $1,173,567 in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $3,152,472 and $5,339,569 carried forward from prior years. Although the PRC Income Tax Law allows the enterprises to offset their future taxable income with operating losses carried forward in a 5-year period, enterprises need approval from local tax authority before they can claim such tax benefit, and the outcome of the application is generally uncertain. Therefore, Management established a 100% valuation allowance for the operation losses carried forward and no deferred tax assets have been recorded as a result of these losses.

Note 15 - | RELATED PARTIES' DEBT CONVERSION |
On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into debt conversion agreements with various affiliated companies, related directors and shareholders (collectively the "Related Parties"), pursuant to which approximately $16,620,157 (RMB 106,583,211) of debt that was owed to the Related Parties by the Company's subsidiaries, Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. and Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd. (the "Subsidiaries") be converted and contributed as paid-in equity capital to increase the equity capital of the Subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interest debt holders who are minority shareholders of the Subsidiaries will also increase their noncontrolling equity interest in the Subsidiaries upon conversion of their debt into paid-in equity capital of the Subsidiaries.
The $4,447,995 (RMB 23,523,211) of the total $16,620,157 (RMB 106,583,211) contribution will increase the registered capital of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. and is subject to the approval by the Chinese Regulators. The $12,172,162 (RMB 83,060,000) that did not require approval from the PRC Regulators were converted to paid-in equity capital on October 1, 2011. The remaining balance of $4,447,995 (RMB 23,523,211) was submitted to the PRC Regulators for approval. The Company recognized the contribution as paid-in capital and noncontrolling interest on October 1, 2011, and stopped recording imputed interest relating to the debt.
In 2012, the government agency approved the Company to convert $4,348,392 (RMB 22,894,108) into the registered equity capital of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. The Company repaid the remaining debt balance of $99,603 (RMB 629,103) to the Related Parties in 2012.
The details of the Related Parties debt conversion to equity capital is as follows:
| | Name of Subsidiary | | | | |
| | Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd. | | | Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. | | | Total | |

Total | | $ | 218,865 | | | $ | 16,301,689 | | | $ | 16,520,554 | |
The contribution to the noncontrolling interest of Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd. does not change the noncontrolling interest's percentage of the equity ownership interest, as the contribution was an offset against the outstanding subscription receivable and the Bylaws of Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Co., Ltd. were not amended.
The contribution to the noncontrolling interest of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. changes the noncontrolling interest's percentage of the equity ownership interest from 1.76% to 16.25% because the related-party creditors become minority shareholders after the conversion and the contribution is considered to be an increase in the registered capital of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd., and the Bylaws of Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. were amended.

(1) Prior to January 1, 2009, before we adopted ASC 810 (or FAS 160), if the current period loss attributed to the noncontrolling interest resulted in a deficit noncotrolling interest balance, the majority absorbed the current period loss up to the extent that brought the minority interest back to zero. Any subsequent period income attributed to such noncontrolling interest will first absorb the amount that was absorbed by the majority in the prior period, the balance, if any, will attribute to the noncontrolling interest.
(2) After we adopted ASC 810 on January 1, 2009, ASC 810-10-45-21 requires that the noncontrolling interest continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.
(3) The minor variance between the amount on the table and the amount on the consolidated statements of operations was due to the rounding of foreign currency translation.
(4) The noncontrolling interest percentage increased from 1.76% to 16.25% on October 1, 2011, as some minority shareholders contributed their loans to Shaanxi Xidenghui Technology Stock Co., Ltd. to paid-in capital, as more fully disclosed in Note 15.
(5) On November 16, 2013, Baishui Dukang amended its Bylaws to increase its registered capital from $5,603,479 (RMB 46,380,000) to $11,464,829 (RMB 82,330,000). While Xidenghui retains its investment amount of $5,071,463 (RMB 41,976,500), its equity ownership interest in Baishui Dukang was reduced from 90.51% to 51%.

Note 18 - | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Contingent Liability from Prior Operation
Prior to the merger with Hong Kong Merit Enterprise Limited on February 11, 2008, the Company had not been active since discontinuing its financial service operations by December 31,2007. Management believes that there are no valid outstanding liabilities from prior operations. If a creditor were to come forward and claim a liability, the Company has committed to contest such claim to the fullest extent of the law. No amount has been accrued in the financial statements for this contingent liability.
The Company’s assets are located in PRC and revenues are derived from operations in PRC.
In terms of industry regulations and policies, the economy of PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to market oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reforms, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in PRC are still owned by the Chinese government. For example, all lands are state owned and are leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of Land Use Rights. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over PRC’s economic growth through the allocation of resources and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures.
The Company faces a number of risks and challenges not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe, since its assets exist solely in the PRC, and its revenues are derived from its operations therein. The PRC is a developing country with an early stage market economic system, overshadowed by the state. Its political and economic systems are very different from the more developed countries and are in a state of change. The PRC also faces many social, economic and political challenges that may produce major shocks and instabilities and even crises, in both its domestic arena and in its relationships with other countries, including the United States. Such shocks, instabilities and crises may in turn significantly and negatively affect the Company's performance.
Lease
On March 4, 2002, Baishui Dukang signed a lease agreement with Shaanxi Sanjiu Dukang Liquor Production Co., Ltd ("Sanjiu"), pursuant to which Baishui Dukang agreed to lease the liquor production facility of Sanjiu, including all the fixed assets and the piece of land that the fixed assets attached, for a period of 20 years, which was subsequently extended to 30 years. On February 3, 2005, Sanjiu was acquired by Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Development Co., Ltd, an affiliate of the Company. On April 30, 2005, Baishui Dukang signed a complementary lease agreement with Shannxi Baishui Dukang Liquor Development Co., Ltd, pursuant to which Baishui Dukang agreed to continue to lease the liquor production facility for the rest of the original 30-year period. Baishui Dukang also agreed to pay $362,450 (RMB 3,000,000) to the local government to continue the lease and to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees. All the pension and unemployment insurance payments were to be made directly to the local China Social Security Administration to satisfy all of the pension and unemployment insurance expenses that were required in connection with the original Sanjiu employees.
Pursuant to the lease agreement, Baishui Dukang is required to absorb the pension and unemployment insurance expenses of Sanjiu's original employees until they all reach their retirement age. Pursuant to the applicable laws in PRC, male employees retire when they reach 60 years old, while female employees retire when they reach 55 years old. Accordingly, Sanjiu’s original employees will gradually retire until Year 2032. The pension and unemployment insurance expenses are based on a certain percentage of the employees’ gross payroll. The percentage may be changed as the applicable law is amended. In practice, the expenses can be based on the local average salary published by the local government. Over the life of the lease, the Management anticipates the percentage will remain the same while the local average salary will increase 4% annually. The number of employees that we need to absorb their pension and unemployment insurance expenses will gradually decrease as Sanjiu’s original employees reach their retirement ages. To the best of our estimation, we anticipate the future payment for pension and unemployment insurance expenses for Sanjiu’s original employees as rental payment follows:

We consolidate Sanjiu into our consolidated financial statement based on FASB ASC 810-10-25 (FIN 46R).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 18 - | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) |
Lack of Insurance
The Company does not carry any business interruption insurance, products liability insurance or any other insurance policy except for a limited property insurance policy. As a result, the Company may incur uninsured losses, increasing the possibility that the investors would lose their entire investment in the Company.
The Company could be exposed to liabilities or other claims for which the Company would have no insurance protection. The Company does not currently maintain any business interruption insurance, products liability insurance, or any other comprehensive insurance policy except for property insurance policies with limited coverage. As a result, the Company may incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of its business. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain additional insurance coverage in the future, and even if it can obtain additional coverage, the Company may not carry sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy potential claims. If an uninsured loss should occur, any purchasers of the Company’s common stock could lose their entire investment.
Because the Company does not carry products liability insurance, a failure of any of the products marketed by the Company may subject the Company to the risk of product liability claims and litigation arising from injuries allegedly caused by the improper functioning or design of its products. The Company cannot assure that it will have enough funds to defend or pay for liabilities arising out of a products liability claim. To the extent the Company incurs any product liability or other litigation losses, its expenses could materially increase substantially. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient funds to pay for such expenses, which could end its operations and the investors would lose their entire investment.

Note 19 - | CONDENSED PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
Basis of Presentation
The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04, Schedule I of Regulation S-X, as the restricted net assets of the subsidiaries of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of China Du Kang Co., Ltd. The ability of the Company’s Chinese operating subsidiaries to pay dividends may be restricted due to the foreign exchange control policies and availability of cash balances of the Chinese operating subsidiaries. Because substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in China and a substantial majority of its revenues are generated in China, a majority of the Company’s revenue being earned and currency received are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). RMB is subject to the exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict its ability to convert RMB into US Dollars.
The condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles and policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, with the only exception being that the parent company accounts for its subsidiaries using the equity method. Refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes presented above for additional information and disclosures with respect to these financial statements.
