NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 20, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Beijing Gufeng Chemical Products Co., Ltd. (“Guefeng” or the “Company”), is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Rebublic of China (“PRC”), registered at South of Dongsiqu Bridge, Pinggu Town, Pinggu District, Beijing.
Gufeng is located in Beijing and is a producer of compound fertilizers, blending fertilizers and organic-inorganic compound fertilizers in China. Founded in 1993, Gufeng operates a facility with an annual production capacity of 300,000 metric tons of compound fertilizer, which has a current utilization rate of approximately 60%.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates. Before January 1, 2010, the Company’s fiscal year ended on December 20th. From January 1, 2010 to July 1, 2010, the Company adopted December 31st as its fiscal year end.
Cash, cash equivalents and concentration of cash
For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with PRC state-owned banks. As of December 20, 2009 and 2008, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $215,382 and $262,199, respectively.
Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash.

NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 20, 2009 AND 2008
Accounts receivable
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Account balances are written-off after management has exhausted all efforts of collection. As of December 20, 2009 and 2008, the Company had accounts receivable of $38,360 and $6,805, respectively, with no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Advances to suppliers
The Company provides advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material. As of December 20, 2009 and 2008, the advances to suppliers amounted to $3,324,421 and $652,825, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value and cost is determined using the weighted average method. Inventories include purchases and related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Inventories consist of raw material, work in process, finished goods and packaging materials. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value at least annually and records a reserve against the inventory and additional cost of goods sold when the carrying value exceeds net realizable value.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Estimated Useful Life | ||
Building | 20 | years |
Machinery and equipment | 5-10 | years |
Vehicles | 8 | years |

BEIJING GUFENG CHEMICAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD.
NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 20, 2009 AND 2008
The residual value is estimated to be 5% of the actual cost.
Impairment
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (ASC 360), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FAS No. 144 (ASC 360) requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the fiscal years ended December 20, 2009 and 2008.
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (ASC 605). Revenue generated from consignment sales is recognized typically three months after the date of shipment to customers when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence has been received that an arrangement exists; delivery of the products and/or services has occurred (after three months of shipping date); the selling price is fixed or determinable; no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. The Company requires its customers to make deposit with the Company when they place an order. The Company does not pay interest on these amounts. As of December 20, 2009 and 2008, the Company had unearned revenues of $32,571,022 and $46,221,718, respectively.

BEIJING GUFENG CHEMICAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD.
NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 20, 2009 AND 2008
The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance can be provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur. The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction. As a producer of basic material for agricultural use, the Company is not subject to VAT according the tax jurisdiction in the PRC, however, the Company is subject to corporate income tax.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company uses its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. All asset and liability accounts were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholder's equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the cash flow statements are translated at the average rate in each applicable period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The resulting translation 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. Because cash flows are also translated at average translation rates, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $237,363 and $234,662 as of December 20, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Fair values of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107 (ASC 825), Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires fair value disclosures of those financial instruments. The fair value measurement accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follows:
· Level 1 | inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
· Level 2 | inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
· Level 3 | inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, other payables, taxes payable, and related party advances and borrowings.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of impairment charges. As of December 20, 2009 and 2008, there were no impairment charges.

Statement of cash flows
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC230), cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, or the “Codification”), which will become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective in the third quarter of 2009, and accordingly, all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature. The Company does not believe that this will have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards are effective for the Company beginning in the middle of 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2011); early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect significant impact of adopting ASU 2010-06 on its financial statements.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
The Company's operations are all carried out in the PRC. The Company did not engage in any business in the United States during the fiscal years ended December 20, 2009 and 2008. Therefore, no provision for withholding taxes or U.S. federal income taxes or deferred income tax benefits has been made.
Effective from January 1, 2008, the PRC’s statutory income tax rate is 25%. The Company incurred net losses in both its fiscal years ended December 20, 2008 and 2007. Accordingly, the Company has deferred taxes in the form of net operating losses (“NOLs”). While the Company reported net income in its fiscal year ended December 20, 2009, there was still an accumulated deficit as of such fiscal year end. Thus, there was no income taxes incurred for the fiscal years ended December 20, 2009 and 2008. The provision for income taxes shown on the statements of income differs from the amounts that would result from applying statutory tax rates to income before income taxes primarily because of the marginal tax rates used to compute deferred taxes, permanent differences between determining income for financial statement purposes and computing taxable income, and the effect of state and local taxes.
The provision for income taxes as of December 20, 2009 and 2008 consisted of the following:
December 20, 2009 | December 20, 2008 | |||||||
Current income tax (benefit) - Provision for China income and local tax | $ | 938,852 | $ | (736,675 | ) | |||

NOTE 10 –OTHER TAXES
Value Added Tax
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax. Most of the Company’s fertilizer products that are sold in the PRC are waived from a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price due to the Company being the producer of basic material for agricultural use.
NOTE 11 – UNEARNED REVENUE
The unearned revenue represents the payment received by the Company before the fertilizer gets sold after three months. Unearned revenue is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet until it is recognized as earned during the accounting cycle. Unearned revenue was $32,571,022 and $46,221,718 as of December 20, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
NOTE 12 - OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)
Other income (expenses) mainly consists of interest expense and subsidy income from the PRC government. Other income (expenses) was $126,706 and ($3,925) for the fiscal years ended December 20, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
NOTE 13 - CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
The Company's operations are all carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy.
The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

i) | Making up cumulative prior years' losses, if any; |
ii) | Allocations to the "statutory surplus reserve" of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital; |
iii) | Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's "statutory common welfare fund", which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company's employees; and the statutory common welfare fund is no longer required per the new Corporation Law promulgated in 2006; and |
iv) | Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved by the Company’s shareholders at the shareholders' general meeting. |
The Company has total registered capital of approximately $4,068,178 (RMB 30 million). As of December 20, 2009, the Company had appropriated approximately $439,330 for the statutory surplus reserve and is required to contribute an additional $1,594,759 from future earnings.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Beijing Gufeng Chemical Products Co., Ltd. (“Guefeng” or the “Company”), is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Rebublic of China (“PRC”), registered at South of Dongsiqu Bridge, Pinggu Town, Pinggu District, Beijing.
Gufeng is located in Beijing and is a producer of compound fertilizers, blending fertilizers and organic-inorganic compound fertilizers in China. Founded in 1993, Gufeng operates a facility with an annual production capacity of 300,000 metric tons of compound fertilizer, which has a current utilization rate of approximately 60%.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates. Before January 1, 2010, the Company’s fiscal year ended on December 20th. From January 1, 2010 to July 2010, the Company adopted December 31st as its fiscal year-end. Therefore, the three-month period ended on March 31, 2010 is compared to the similar period ended on March 20, 2009.
Cash, cash equivalents and concentration of cash
For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with PRC state-owned banks. As of March 31, 2010 and December 20, 2009, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $988,256 and $215,382, respectively.
Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash.

BEIJING GUFENG CHEMICAL PRODUCTS CO., LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Accounts receivable
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Account balances are written-off after management has exhausted all efforts of collection. As of March 31, 2010 and December 20, 2009, the Company had accounts receivable of $44,943 and $38,360, respectively, with no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Advances to suppliers
The Company provides advances to certain vendors for purchase of its material. As of March 31, 2010 and December 20, 2009, the advances to suppliers amounted to $422,457 and $3,324,421, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value and cost is determined using the weighted average method. Inventories include purchases and related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Inventories consist of raw material, work in process, finished goods and packaging materials. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value at least annually and records a reserve against the inventory and additional cost of goods sold when the carrying value exceeds net realizable value.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The cost of improvements that extend the life of plant, property, and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Estimated Useful Life | |
Building | 20 years |
Machinery and equipment | 5-10 years |
Vehicles | 8 years |
The residual value is estimated to be 5% of the actual cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Impairment
The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (ASC 360), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FAS No. 144 (ASC 360) requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. There was no impairment of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2010 and December 20, 2009.
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (ASC 605). Revenue generated from consignment sales is recognized typically three months after the date of shipment to customers when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence has been received that an arrangement exists; delivery of the products and/or services has occurred (three months after the shipping date); the selling price is fixed or determinable; no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue. The Company requires its customers to make deposit with the Company when they place an order. The Company does not pay interest on these amounts. As of March 31, 2010 and December 20, 2009, the Company had unearned revenues of $22,120,575 and $32,571,022, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance can be provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, if any, based on its estimates of its future taxable income as well as its tax planning strategies when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. If the Company is able to utilize more of its deferred tax assets than the net amount previously recorded when unanticipated events occur, an adjustment to deferred tax assets would increase the Company net income when those events occur. The Company does not have any significant deferred tax asset or liabilities in the PRC tax jurisdiction. As a producer of basic material for agricultural use, the Company is not subject to VAT according the tax jurisdiction in the PRC, however, the Company is subject to corporate income tax.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company uses its local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. All asset and liability accounts were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholder's equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the cash flow statements are translated at the average rate in each applicable period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The resulting translation 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. Because cash flows are also translated at average translation rates, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily be consistent with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $237,459 and $237,363 as of March 31, 2010 and December 20, 2009, respectively.

Fair values of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107 (ASC 825), Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires fair value disclosures of those financial instruments. The fair value measurement accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follows:
• Level 1 | inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
• Level 2 | inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
• Level 3 | inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, other payables, taxes payable, and related party advances and borrowings.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.
In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of impairment charges. As of March 31, 2010 and December 20, 2009, there were no impairment charges.

Statement of cash flows
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC230), cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 (previously SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, or the “Codification”), which will become the source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective in the third quarter of 2009, and accordingly, all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature. The Company does not believe that this will have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards are effective for the Company beginning in the middle of 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2011); early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect significant impact of adopting ASU 2010-06 on its financial statements.
