CHINA VENTURES LIMITED
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
China Ventures Limited (we) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December
10, 1999 for the purpose of facilitating a Chinese private company to become a
reporting public company whose securities are qualified for trading in the
United States secondary market. We have the intention of attempting to locate
and negotiate with a target business entity, initially from the People's
Republic of China (PRC), to effect a merger or some other business combination,
in exchange for the opportunity to acquire ownership interest in a publicly
registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an
initial public offering. If this initial attempt fails, we do not expect to
restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location.
As of June 30, 2001, we are in the development stage and have not started
operations; accordingly these financial statements are prepared in accordance
with SFAS 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises" as
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
ACCOUNTING METHOD
We present our financial statements under the accrual basis of accounting, under
which method revenues are recognized when earned rather than when received, and
expenses are recognized when incurred rather than when paid.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Primary and fully diluted loss per share is computed based on weighted average
common shares outstanding during the period.
INCOME TAXES
The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and is, therefore, not subject
to income taxes.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
7
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the
objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the
hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of
the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii)
the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not
designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in
the period of change. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. We have not entered into derivatives
contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
Accordingly, we do not expect adoption of the new standard to have a material
effect on our financial statements.
NOTE B - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we are in the development
stage, have yet to generate operating revenues and will require a significant
amount of capital to commence our planned principal operations. As reflected in
the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred accumulated losses since
inception of $43,800 and have raised an insignificant amount of capital. As
such, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise
the necessary capital to commence our planned principal operations.
We have indicated that our principal operation is to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or companies and may issue "penny
stock" securities as defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. We will
require a significant amount of capital to commence our planned principal
operations. Accordingly, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to secure an adequate amount of capital to finance our planned
principal operations.
Our plans include a merger and a subsequent public offering of our common stock;
however there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise
capital or to obtain a business combination.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A stockholder of the Company acted as legal counsel during 1999. Legal fees and
incorporation costs for the year ended December 31, 1999 in the amount of
$11,678 were payable to a law firm in which this stockholder is a partner.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company borrowed $8,000, due on
demand, from an entity related through common ownership. This amount is
uncollateralized and non-interest bearing.
8
NOTE D - RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In December 1999 China Ventures issued and sold 2,500 ordinary shares to 25
individuals for aggregate consideration of $15,000. China Ventures did not sell
these ordinary shares in reliance on any exception from the United States
federal securities laws as all purchasers were residents of the Republic of
China.
On December 16, 1999, in connection with the formulation of China Ventures, Mr.
Hong Yang received 123,750 ordinary shares, Mr. James Chow received 121,250
ordinary shares and Mr. Ricardo Bajandas received 5,050 ordinary shares. Each of
Mr. Yang, Mr. Chow, and Mr. Bajandas paid par value as consideration for the
shares issued in connection with the formulation of China Ventures. Mr. Yang and
Chow are residents of China. Mr. Bajandas is a resident of the United States.
Accordingly, no exception was required for the issuance of ordinary shares to
Mr. Yang or Mr. Chow. Mr. Bajandas purchased his ordinary shares of China
Ventures in reliance on Rule 4(2) promulgated under the Securities Act. In May
2000, in connection with the termination of Mr. Bajandas' engagement with China
Ventures, Mr. Bajandas agreed to transfer his ordinary shares to China Ventures.
NOTE E - TRANSACTIONS WITH STATE-OWNED ENTITIES
A significant portion of our future transactions may be undertaken, directly or
indirectly, with State-owned enterprises in the PRC and on such commercial terms
as determined between the relevant PRC State-owned enterprises and us.
NOTE F - FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE
A significant portion of the business of our future PRC Subsidiaries may be
undertaken in Renmin (RMB), the national currency of the PRC, which is not
freely convertible into the US$ or other foreign currencies.
NOTE G - CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
If a merger, alliance or some other business combination is successful, our
operating assets and primary source of income and cash flow are expected to be
our interests in our subsidiaries in the PRC. The value of our interests in
these subsidiaries may be adversely affected by significant political, economic
and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been
pursuing economic reform policies for many years, no assurance can be given that
the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies
may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in
leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting
the PRC's political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee
that the PRC government's pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or
effective.
NOTE H - UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited financial statements presented as of June 30, 2001 and for three
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 contain all adjustments necessary, in
management's opinion, for a fair presentation of financial position and results
of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

2001, commenced active business operations. As of June 30, 2001 the Registrant
had no assets or liabilities, and the total Shareholders' Equity was $0.
The Registrant has no reasonable basis for comparison with respect to its
quarterly financial results in that the Company has not yet commenced its
business operations.

the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service and others
is being funded through contributions to capital by the Company's principal
