NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
|
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The company maintains its books and accounting records in Renminbi (“RMB”), and its reporting currency is United States dollars. |
|
ACCOUNTING METHOD |
|
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31. |
|
USE OF ESTIMATES |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash balances of $1,220,407 and $11,797 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalent as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. |
|
INVENTORIES |
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using moving weighted average method. Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods and growing crops. Cost of finished goods comprises direct material and direct production cost based on normal operating capacity. |
|
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT |
|
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method after taking into account their respective estimated residual values over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: |
|
Building | 20 years |
Plant equipment | 5-10 years |
Office equipment | 3-5 years |
Vehicles | 4 years |
|
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. |
|
Construction in progress represents capital assets under construction or being installed and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of plant and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs prior to the date of reaching the expected usable condition. Construction in progress is transferred to the property, plant and equipment and depreciation commences when the asset has been substantially completed and reaches the expected usable condition. |
|
LAND USE RIGHTS |

The Company states land use right at cost less accumulated amortization. The land use right is amortized on straight line method during the contract period. |
|

The land use right in the amount of $579,580 was fully paid during 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded amortization expense of $2,979 and $2,913, respectively. The Company recorded the land use right net value of $557,987 and $566,028 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. |

|
LONG TERM PREPAID LEASE |
|
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease. |
|
The Company records lease payments at cost less accumulated rent. The Company entered into a long term agreement with certain unrelated parties to rent land in 2010. The lease payments are recorded as operating lease expenses using the straight line method during the contract period of 20 years beginning at January 1, 2010. The lease payments for the entire contract period of $1,030,000 were prepaid. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded lease expense of $13,980 and $13,643, respectively. |

The lease payments for the entire contract period $984,107 were prepaid. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded lease expense of $13,621 and $nil, respectively. |
|
REVENUE RECOGNITION |
|
The Company engages in the business of growing, producing, marketing and selling fresh mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and mushroom seeds through its affiliated VIE, LiaoNing DingXu. |
|
Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment from the Company’s facilities to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, ownership has passed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. |
|
The Company’s revenue consists of the invoiced value of goods, net of value-added tax (“VAT”). |
|
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
|
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis. |
|
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE |
|
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, there were no outstanding potential common stock equivalents and therefore basic and diluted earnings per share result in the same figure. |
|
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
|
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception on September 9, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company did not issue any share-based payments for services or compensation to employees, or otherwise for the periods presented. |
|
TAXATION |
|
Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC where the Company operates after taking into account the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the county of operations. |
|
The Company does not accrue United States income tax since it has no operating income in the United States. The operating subsidiary is organized and located in the PRC and does not conduct any business in the United States. |
|
Enterprise income tax |
|
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, as an agriculture growing enterprise, the operating subsidiary is exempted from enterprise income tax from 2010 to 2014. Accordingly, the Company statutory rate was 0% and 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Value added tax |
|
The Provisional Regulations of The PRC concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC. |
|
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, as an agriculture growing enterprise, the Company is exempted from VAT from 2010 to 2014. |
|
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION |
|
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the parent company is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the Company’s operating subsidiaries and variable interest entities is the RMB. For the subsidiaries and variable interest entities whose functional currencies are the RMB, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency. The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company. |
|
In accordance with ASC Topic 230, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. 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 sheets. |
|
ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME |
|
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the change in equity of the Company during the periods presented from foreign currency translation adjustments. |
|
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
|
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions related to availability. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to: |
|
- | Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and |
|
- | Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. |
|
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. |
|
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. |
