NEW TAOHUAYUAN CULTURE TOURISM COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A - ORGANIZATION
New Taohuayuan Culture Tourism Company Limited (the "Company") was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 3, 2004.
The Company is an investment holding company.
Shaanxi New Taohuayuan Culture Tourism Company Limited ("Shaanxi NTHY")
was incorporated in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") on August 3,
1997 as a limited liability company. Shaanxi NTHY operates a resort in
Xi'an, in the PRC, providing catering, hotel and related services.
Pursuant to an agreement and plan of migratory merger between the Company
and Shaanxi NTHY on November 5, 2004, the Company acquired Shaanxi NTHY by
issuing 17,027,328 shares of its common stock to the original shareholders
of Shaanxi NTHY in exchange for 100% of their membership interests (the
"Merger"). As a result, the controlling member of Shaanxi NTHY has
effective and actual operating control of the Company. The Merger was
approved by the Shaanxi Ministry of Commerce on November 24, 2004. Since
then, Shaanxi NTHY has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and
its status has changed to a wholly owned foreign owned enterprise.
Since the Company had no operations or net assets prior to the
acquisition, the acquisition was considered to be a capital transaction in
substance, rather than a business combination and no goodwill was
recognized. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated
as a reverse acquisition whereby Shaanxi NTHY is considered to be the
accounting survivor and the operating entity while the Company is
considered to be the legal survivor.
Note B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by New Taohuayuan Tourism Company Limited pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Form
10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B, and generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial reporting. The information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals
and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of the three months ended March
31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year ending December 31, 2008.

NEW TAOHUAYUAN CULTURE TOURISM COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The Company's functional currency is the Chinese
Renminbi (CNY); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (USD).
Foreign currency transactions and comprehensive income (loss)
As of March 31, 2008, the accounts of Shaanxi NTHY were maintained, and
its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY).
Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards ("SFAS") No. 52,
"Foreign Currency Translation," with the CNY as the functional currency.
According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at
the current exchange rate, stockholder's equity are translated at the
historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are
reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" as a component of shareholders' equity.
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 the
transactions of Shaanxi NTHY were denominated in foreign currency and were
recorded in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) at the rates of exchange in effect
when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for
the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency
assets and liabilities are settled. 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may
be material to the financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NEW TAOHUAYUAN CULTURE TOURISM COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New
Taohuayuan Culture Tourism Company Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary
Shaanxi NTHY, collectively referred to within as the Company. All material
inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from catering, hotel, and related services.
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff
accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Revenue is generally recognized: (a) when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) when services are
rendered; (c) when the fee is fixed or determinable; and (d) when
collectibility is reasonably assured. Such service revenues are recognized
net of discounts.
The Company also generates management fee income in accordance with
Shaanxi New Taohuayuan Economy Trade Company Limited and its subsidiaries
(related parties) based on terms stated in the agreement. These companies
are controlled by a common director and stockholder of the Company. Cost
of good sold related to management fee income is immaterial comparing with
the total expenses incurred for the Company during its fiscal year.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income
taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws
and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 seeks to
reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of
measuring and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN
48 requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income
taxes and is effective
8
NEW TAOHUAYUAN CULTURE TOURISM COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") law will
replace the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises ("DES") and Foreign
Invested Enterprises ("FIEs"). The new standard EIT rate of 25% will
replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs. The two
years tax exemption, three years 50% tax reduction tax holiday for
production-oriented FIEs will be eliminated.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from
the Company's operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result,
amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of
cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding
balances on the balance sheet.
Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"),
"Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The
management approach model is based on the way a company's management
organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and
assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and
services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other
manner in which management disaggregates a company.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things,
intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks
associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing
customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency
exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be
influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC,
by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's business may be
influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and
remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are
issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be
resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The
Company's management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities,
and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In
assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending
against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such
proceedings, the Company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of
9
NEW TAOHUAYUAN CULTURE TOURISM COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits
of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a
material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be
estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's
financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential
a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably
possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the
contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible
loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not
disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee
would be disclosed.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable, loans and
prepaid expense and analyzes historical bad debts, aging analysis, current
economic trends and changes in payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy
of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific
identification basis. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $28,258
and $10,475 at March 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively.
Intangible Assets
The Company applies criteria specified in SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations" to determine whether an intangible asset should be
recognized separately from goodwill. Intangible assets acquired through
business acquisitions are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if
they satisfy either the "contractual-legal" or "separability" criterion.
Per SFAS 142, intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over
their estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets." Intangible assets, such as purchased technology, trademark,
customer list, user base and non-compete agreements, arising from the
acquisitions of subsidiaries and variable interest entities are recognized
and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Intangible assets are
amortized over their estimated useful lives from one to ten years. The
Company reviews the amortization methods and estimated useful lives of
intangible assets at least annually or when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that assets may be impaired. The recoverability of
an intangible asset to be held and used is evaluated by comparing the
carrying amount of the intangible asset to its future net undiscounted
cash flows. If the intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the
impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of
the intangible asset exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset,
calculated using a discounted future cash flow analysis. The Company uses
estimates and judgments in its impairment tests, and if different
estimates or judgments had been utilized, the timing or the amount of the
impairment charges could be different.
10
NEW TAOHUAYUAN CULTURE TOURISM COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company
periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held
and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In
that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on
long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner,
except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 `Employers' Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans--an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)' This Statement improves financial
reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under
funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial
position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity
or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization.
This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer
to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end
statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with
publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the
funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the
required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities
is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end
of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer
without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the
following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal
year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it
has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing
those financial statements:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a. A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b. The date that adoption is required
c. The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of
this Statement, if earlier.
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the
date of the employer's fiscal year-end statement of financial position is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management
is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements". This Statement amends ARB 51 to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling
(minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary
is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160
is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.
Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on
financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is
intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and
hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows The new standard also improves
transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in
an entity's financial statements; how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. . It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Management is
currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations".
This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement
retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition
method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be
used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for
each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes
and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain
from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to
12
NEW TAOHUAYUAN CULTURE TOURISM COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on
or after Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company
has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No.
141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will
be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September
30, 2009.
In May 0f 2008, FSAB issued SFASB No.162, The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP
hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit
literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of
Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement
will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The company does not
believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial
Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.
The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance
(and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 2008. The company does not believe this
pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
Note C - DEPOSIT FOR LAND USE RIGHT - RESTATED
The Company has deposited amounts with the local government for land use
rights amounting to $17,136,000 at March 31, 2008 for the acquisition of a
parcel of land in PRC. The Company intends to acquire the land for the
development of a new project. To obtain the land use rights from the

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF
OPERATION
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements
and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. Our financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our
financial statements and the financial data included in this report reflect our
reorganization and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had
been in place throughout the relevant periods. The following discussion and
analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements.
Overview
We own and operate the Taohuayuan Inn hotel and resort located in the city
of Xi'an, province of Shaanxi, in the PRC. The Taohuayuan Inn has 23 courtyards
with 146 rooms and 292 beds.
We manage the DongJin Taoyuan Villas, a hotel and resort property
approximately 10 miles from downtown Xi'an. DongJin Taoyuan Villas has 84 rooms
and 168 beds. This property closed for major remodeling in 2006 and is expected
to reopen in July 2008.
We also manage a chain of four traditional Chinese restaurants. Two of the
restaurants are in Xi'an, and one is in Beijing.
We receive fees for managing the DongJin Taoyuan Villas and the three
restaurants. The agreements relating to the management of these properties are
discussed in more detail in Item 1 of this report.
Room rates in the Shaanxi province are established by the Shaanxi Price
Bureau. Room rates are established for each hotel or resort in the Shaanxi
Province and are based upon a number of factors, including the quality of the
property and amenities offered. Room rates may be changed at any time by the
Shaanxi Price Bureau based upon economic conditions in China.
Our business is not seasonal in nature.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Material changes of certain items in our Statement of Operations for the three

2007, are discussed below:

Our material sources and (uses) of cash during the three months ended March 31,
2008 were:
Cash provided by operations $ 992,815
Payment for land use rights, building improvements,
and purchase of equipment (1,020,321)
Loans from related parties 7,065
Changes in foreign currency exchange rate 1,457
Cash provided by cash in bank at January 1, 2008 18,984

Payment for land use rights, building improvements,
and purchase of equipment (1,084,640)
Repayment of loans from related parties (44,126)
Sale of stock 85,000
Changes in foreign currency exchange rate 348,800
We intend to develop a 150 room hotel and resort in Xi'an. We have not
started actual construction work on these projects.
We have financed our operations to date through the sale of our common
stock and cash generated by our operations. As of March 31, 2008 expenditures
for our Xi'an project have been funded with cash from our operations and
proceeds from the sale of our common stock. We expect to finance the remaining
costs for the Xi'an project through cash from our operations and loans. Loans
would be collateralized by the property and issued in conjunction with the
government. However, required financing may not be available to us, in which
case the development of the project may take additional time or we may be unable
to develop the project. At present, we do not have any lines of credit or other
bank financing arrangements.
We do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are
reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short-term or long-term
liquidity other than our need to pay the taxes and surcharges which we have
accrued as liabilities on our March 31, 2008 balance sheet.
25
Restrictions on currency exchange
Substantially all of our projected revenues and operating expenses
are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under
the "current account", which includes dividends, trade and service-related
foreign exchange transactions, but not under the "capital account", which
includes foreign direct investment and loans.
We may purchase foreign exchange for settlement of "current account
transactions", including payment of dividends to our shareholders, without the
approval of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange. We may also retain
foreign exchange in our current account, subject to a ceiling approved by the
State Administration for Foreign Exchange, to satisfy foreign exchange
liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the Chinese government may change its
laws or regulations and limit or eliminate our ability to purchase and retain
foreign currencies in the future.
Since a significant amount of our future revenues will be
denominated in Renminbi, the existing and any future restrictions on currency
exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund
any business activities outside China or fund expenditures denominated in
foreign currencies.
Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our financial
performance because of our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities,
and may reduce the value, translated or converted, as applicable into U.S.
dollars, of our net fixed assets, our earnings and our declared dividends. We do
not engage in any hedging activities in order to minimize the effect of exchange
rate risks.
Reserves
In accordance with current Chinese laws, regulations and accounting
standards, we are required to set aside as a general reserve at least 10% of our
respective after-tax profits. Appropriations to the reserve account are not
required after these reserves have reached 50% of our registered capital. These
reserves are created to fund potential operating losses and are not
distributable as cash dividends. We are also required to set aside between 5% to
10% of our after-tax profits to the statutory public welfare reserve. In
addition and at the discretion of our directors, we may set aside a portion of
our after-tax profits for enterprise expansion funds, staff welfare and bonus
funds and a surplus reserve. These statutory reserves and funds can only be used
for specific purposes and may not be used for dividends.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the financial reporting period. We continually evaluate these
estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our
own historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be
26
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an
integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could
differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher
degrees of judgment than others in their application. We consider the policies
discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements
as their application assists management in making their business decisions
Revenue recognition
We generally recognize service revenues when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, services are rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is probable. Service revenues are recognized net of discounts.
Foreign currency translation
We consider Renminbi as our functional currency as a substantial portion
of our business activities are based in Renminbi ("RMB"). However, we have
chosen the United States dollar as our reporting currency.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the
year are translated into the functional currency at the applicable rates of
exchange prevailing at the time of the transactions. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are
translated into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange in
effect at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the
statements of operations.
For translation of financial statements into the reporting currency,
assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet
date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues,
expenses, gains and losses are translated at the weighted average rates of
exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from
this process are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
within stockholders' equity.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation.
The cost of an asset consists of its purchase price and any directly
attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and
location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the assets have been
put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally recognized as
an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In situations where it can
be clearly demonstrated that expenditure has resulted in an increase in the
future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the assets, the
expenditure is capitalized.
27
When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation
are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their
disposal is included in the statement of operations.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and
equipment over their estimated useful lives as set out below, from the date on
which they become fully operational and after taking into account their
estimated residual values, using the straight-line method.
