ITEM
1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On
November 5, 2009, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Peakway
Worldwide Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and its sole shareholder,
Cabo Development Limited (“Cabo”), a British Virgin Islands company (the “Share
Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Cabo
agreed to transfer all of its shares of the capital stock of Peakway, in
exchange for a number of newly issued shares of our common stock that would, in
the aggregate, constitute 70% of our issued and outstanding capital stock as of
and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Share Exchange Agreement.
As a
result of the reverse acquisition, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of
Peakway and consequently, control of the business and operations of Chinese
Subsidiaries of Peakway. Prior to the reverse acquisition, we were in the
development stage of engaging in the acquisition and exploration of mining
properties and had not yet realized any revenues from our operations. From and
after the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, our primary operations
consist of the business and operations of Peakway, which are conducted by
Chinese Subsidiaries of Peakway.
Our board
of directors (the “Board”) as well as the director and the shareholder of
Peakway, each approved the reverse acquisition.
Copies of
the Share Exchange Agreement are filed as Exhibits 2.1 to this
report.
ITEM
2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
As
described in detail in Item 1.01 above, on November 11, 2009, we completed an
acquisition of Peakway pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement. The
acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share
exchange, wherein Peakway is considered the acquirer for accounting and
financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the
acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value. As a
result of the reverse acquisition, our principal business became the business of
Peakway, which is to develop, research, design, manufacture and market sports
and casual footwear mainly in the PRC. Our products are sold in 24 provinces and
administrative regions in China as well as to South America through our
distributor.
FORM
10 DISCLOSURE
As
disclosed elsewhere in this report, we acquired Peakway in a reverse acquisition
transaction. Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that if the registrant
was a shell company like we were immediately before the reverse acquisition
transaction disclosed under Item 2.01, then the registrant must disclose the
information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form
for registration of securities on Form 10.
Accordingly,
we are providing below the information that would be included in a Form 10 if we
were to file a Form 10. Please note that the information provided
below relates to the combined enterprises after the acquisition of Peakway,
except that information relating to periods prior to the date of the reverse
acquisition only relate to Wollemi unless otherwise specifically
indicated.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
OUR
HISTORY
Overview
We are a
Delaware corporation that was incorporated on October 9, 2007 and we are
headquartered in Fujian Province, China. From our inception until
November 11, 2009, when we completed a reverse acquisition transaction with
Peakway, we were primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining
properties and had not realized any revenues from our planned
operations.
3
On
September 28, 2009, the Board approved a 1.5-for-1 forward stock split of all
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. On October 16,
2009, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) approved our
application for forward stock split. As the result, the total issued
and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company prior to the reverse
acquisition were 4,500,000.
By two
stock purchase agreements dated September 29, 2009, we experienced a change in
control whereby a number of investors, acquired an aggregate of 3,000,000 post
forward split shares of common stock from a former shareholder. Upon this change
in control, our Board determined that the implementation of our business plan
prior to the change in control was no longer financially feasible, and we
adopted an acquisition strategy focused on pursuing growth by acquiring
undervalued businesses with a history of operating revenues. Our
Board approved the Share Exchange Agreement and we entered into the Share
Exchange Agreement with Peakway and Cabo on November 5, 2009.
On May
31, 2008, we sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock to 25 investors for $0.03 per
share pursuant to our S-1 registration statement for $30,000.
Background
and History of Peakway and its Operating Subsidiaries
Peakway
was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands by Cabo Development Limited, a
British Virgin Islands company, on November 3, 2006. Alberta Holdings Limited is
a Hong Kong company incorporated on November 4, 2006, which was acquired by
Peakway on November 1, 2007. Alberta presently has two direct, wholly-owned
Chinese operating subsidiaries: Fujian Jinjiang Pacific Shoes Co.,
Limited and Fujian Baopiao Light Industry Co., Limited.
Fujian
Jinjiang Pacific Shoes Co., Limited, or Pacific Shoes was established as a
sino-foreign equity joint venture entity in the PRC on April 9, 1993. On January
12, 2009, Alberta acquired 100% equity interest in Pacific
Shoes. Currently, all of our revenues have been generated from
Pacific Shoes.
Fujian
Baopiao Light Industry Co., Limited, or Baopiao Shoes was established as a
wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in the PRC on February 15, 2006. On
February 26, 2009, Alberta acquired 100% equity interest in Baopiao Shoes. As of
the date of this report, Baopiao Shoes is still in its development stage and has
not yet generated any revenues.
The
structure prior to the reverse acquisition is as below:
Acquisition
of Peakway Worldwide Limited
Through
the reverse acquisition of Peakway we acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Peakway, which became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and in
exchange for that capital stock we issued to Cabo, the former stockholder of
Peakway, 10,500,000 shares of our common stock. Upon the consummation of the
reverse acquisition, Cabo becomes our controlling stockholder.
Upon the
closing of the reverse acquisition, on November 11, 2009, our sole director and
officer, Mr. Yi Chen, submitted his resignation letter pursuant to which he
resigned effective immediately from all offices of the Company that he held and
from his position as our director. Simultaneously, five new directors were
appointed, including three independent directors. Mr. Haiting Li was appointed
as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board at the closing of the
reverse acquisition of Peakway. Descriptions of our proposed
directors and officers can be found below.
The
structure after the reverse acquisition is as below:

Following
the reverse acquisition, we, through our Chinese Subsidiaries, develop,
research, design, manufacture and sell series of casual footwear, men's and
ladies’ sports footwear mainly in the PRC as well as in the South America
through our distributors. Our executive offices are located at No. 78 Kanglong

OUR
INDUSTRY
General
China
currently is the world largest footwear-making countries. There are 30, 000 to
40, 000 footwear-making enterprises worldwide, with the total number of workers
coming up to 10 million. In the 1960s and 1970s, there has been a shift of
global footwear-making centers, i.e. from Italy, Spain and Portugal to Japan,
Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong and other countries and regions of relative low costs
and enormous industrial resources. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the
centers moved on toward Chinese mainland and coastal areas. Lower costs for land
and labor, abundant industry resources and favorable investment environment had
served as the desirable conditions for the development of China's
footwear-making industry at the time.
Ever
since 2008, despite of unfavorable international economy and domestic natural
calamities, Chinese economy has not been deviated from its development. China
has launched a number of macro control and adjustment, which may create positive
conditions for the development of the footwear-making industry in China. China
has become the largest footwear producing and export country in the world since
1996. In the subsequent 10 years, the Chinese footwear-making industry has
outshined all the others, with an increase of 10%-20% year over year. Throughout
2008, China is still the most powerful footwear manufacturing country in the
world. The table below illustrates five largest footwear producers in
2008.

Footwear Making Industry of China in the World, Press date: Feb. 13,

China has
maintained its position of being the largest footwear consumption country among
the top 10 annual footwear consumption countries in the world as
below:

(Sources:
HC 360.com, Analysis of
Development Trend of Footwear Making Industry of China in Future, Date:
January 16, 2009, 18:45)
The
footwear consumption market is huge and will expand continuously in China. From
the aspect of Chinese market, the research report released by UBS recently says
that the average consumption volume will increase among Chinese women consumers
because the economic growth and urbanization of China will render a continuous
increase of discretionary income and purchasing power. According to the report,
the urbanization has already led to the formation of mid-income Chinese
consumers who has special requirements or preference for footwear. This
indicates that the Chinese footwear market has fairly huge potentials in growth.
From the aspect of global market, relevant statistics shows that China is the
largest footwear export country for America, European Union and Russia. The
success of Chinese footwear making companies relies on whether they can create
their own brand and marketing channels, convert trade growth mode, and gradually
expand their self-branded market shares in the global market.
PRC
Footwear-making Industry
As of
today, China is the largest country in the global footwear-making sector. Asia
is now providing more than 85% of footwear products for the global market. There
includes China, Vietnam, India, Indonesia and Thailand, amongst which, the
annual output of China's footwear exceeds 10 billion pairs, with an employment
of more than 4 million persons, and a total annual output of more than 50% in
the world. A completed industrial chain ranging from R&D designs, product
processing to marketing has come into shape, so the footwear-making industry has
become the important mainstay of China's light industry. In 2007, the export of
finished footwear of China was $24.137 billion, which accounted for 36% of the
total amount of footwear export in the world; 8.177 billion pairs of footwear
were exported, which accounted for 73% of the total quantity of global footwear
export. From January to September in 2008, 6.27 billion pairs of finished
footwear were exported by China, which decreased by 2.76% compared with the same
period of last year.

China's
footwear production and export are mainly concentrated in coastal provinces and
cities in the eastern part, and a relatively complete industry group has formed
in Guangdong (Dongguan), Fujian (Jinjiang), Sichuan (Chengdu), Chongqing,
Zhejiang (Wenzhou), etc, with an integration of raw materials, research and
development, production, sales and the like. China’s footwear product is wide in
its variety, with superior quality, lower cost, and a strong marketing
competence in the global footwear market.
The Athletic and
Casual Footwear Industry in China
The
rising of the sports and leisure goods consumption is an inevitable outcome from
the development of the society, the economy and the improvement of the living
standards. In 1980s and 1990s, the income of Chinese people was mainly spent on
basic life necessities. In recent years, the advancement of science and
technology and the improvement of living standards have resulted in the change
in consumption mode and concept. In addition, with the push of such a series of
measures as the implementation of 5-day work system since 1995 and two long
holidays as Chinese New Year and National Holiday since 1999, people had more
time spent on sports and leisure. Moreover, 2008 Beijing Olympic led the sports
industry of China to present vibrant prosperity, and endowed a rare but good
development opportunity to the sports goods industry of China. Jinjiang, located
in coastal Fujian province, is generally accepted as the capital of footwear in
China, especially in the industry of sports and casual footwear. In 2007,
Jinjiang was just approved as the third sports industry base in China by General
Administration of Sports, and a large number of sports brands of market
competitiveness were available in Jinjiang.
Ladies
Footwear Market in China
The
population of China exceeds 1,300 million, wherein, female population is 624
million, which accounts for 48% of the total population. This constitutes a
market of significant potential. However, the huge market opportunities hide
lots of competitions, and regional brands account for 80% of the market share.
Currently, there are more than 7,200 enterprises involved in footwear-making in
China, more than 10,000 brands together with those introduced by foreign
enterprises into China, and famous international brands and leather footwear
brands out of originally-equipped manufacturers.
In 2007,
the total quantity consumed in China's female footwear market was 6.5 billion
pairs, with a total market consumption of RMB235.2 billion (approximately $34.6
billion), and China had the rapid growth rate of 12% for more than ten years.
For 13 years in a row, China has been the largest consumer market for ladies
footwear. By 2010, the total consumption of ladies footwear will exceed 8
billion pairs, and it is estimated that the total volume of business
transactions in the market will be up to RMB 330 billion (approximately $48.5
billion). Therefore, tremendous opportunities can be expected in China's ladies
footwear market. In the PRC market, the selling of ladies footwear shows a
steady upward trend, and there is a huge potential in China's consumer market
for ladies footwear in future.
OUR
BUSINESS
Our
Brand
We market
our products mainly under the brand name”” or
“Baopiao” in English translation. In 2006, the Trademark Office of
the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC, named our
“Baopiao” trademark as one of “Chinese Well-Known Trademarks”. At the same year,
our branded footwear was named as one of “Chinese Famous Brand Products” by the
General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the
PRC. In 2005, “Baopiao” was listed as one of the top ten satisfied brands for
Chinese consumers. In 2002, Pacific Shoes passed the authentication
of ISO9001:2000 quality control system.
Our
Product Portfolio
We
believe that casual and sports footwear are the most popular footwear in the
PRC, because they are generally accepted at either the workplace or on the
various casual occasions. Our Baopiao branded sports and casual products target
at both female and male customers, while our products are mainly available for
ladies. We aim to impress our
8
consumers
with professional designs, advanced technology, maximum comfort, function and
fashionable products. Our consumers are aged between 18 and 48 years
old. In particular, we target at consumers aged between 20 and 35 years
old. We have set moderate prices ranging from $18 to $30 that are
affordable to our consumers. Based on different ages, genders, occupations and
life styles, we mainly target following customers:

our Baopiao branded products can be divided into the following five broad
series: Business Series, Travelling Series, Outdoor Series, Casual Series, and
Casual Sports Series. These five series approximately account for 35%, 10%, 20%,
20% and 15%, respectively in our total sales for the period ended June 30,
2009.
1.
|
“Business
Series”--- target at office ladies and business women. We have applied the
esthetic and fashion elements as well as the invisible height-increasing
function to this series. These products target at the middle and senior
female managers, white-collars, and business women aged between 28 and 38
years old. We focus on “elegance” while designing the shapes, colors,
concept and function of the shoes. We also intend to apply fashionable
materials to make our product decent and attractive. The core of our
design lies in the toe cap and the shoe heel shining leather used on the
shoe surface. We intend to emphasize the element of “elegance” in our
business series.
|
Under
this series, the raw materials of products include leather, buffed leather,
flexible polymers, composite fabric, and the substrate materials are PU and
rubber. The colors of this series include white, black and silver
grey.
2.
|
“Travelling
Series”--- target at consumers aged between 20 and 38 years old, including
young office ladies and housewives, who have interests in traveling and
shopping. The main styles of this series include platform shoes, height
increasing shoes, hidden-heels shoes and stewardess shoes with very thick
soles and heels. We found that it is a trend in our targeted consumers to
wear hidden height-increasing footwear. We have put into great
efforts in designing lighter products. Among other products, the
“Stewardess shoes” are designed with the exclusive upper surface pattern
and the font pattern.
|

4.
|
“Casual
Series”--- offer a range of classic footwear for customers who are seeking

themselves. We believe that footwear should be natural and leisurely while
showing fashion and more dynamic sense, and they should also be
comfortable. Casual Series are applicable to all consumers who are 18 to
48 years old. They are comfortable to wear and featured with attractive
colors, for instance the dark colors are adopted in the winter for
consumers from the north of China, while in most cases, bright, cool and
popular colors are adopted so that they look neat and tidy and are
appealed to international consumers. The leisure series emphasize the
“comfort” and the convenience to match the daily
wear.

supermarkets.
|

leather and the substrate material is PU. The main color of this series is

Our
Business Model
Our
business model is illustrated in the following diagram:
Procurement
of Raw Material
In
general, raw materials used for making both sports and casual footwear are
leather, buffed leather, imitation leather, composite fabric, PU, natural
rubber, synthetic rubber, adhesive and the like. All of the Company’s raw
materials are acquired from Chinese suppliers mainly located in Fujian province.
We believe that we have good cooperation with raw material

constantly evaluate the suitability of our suppliers and their ability to assure
the timely delivery of quality raw materials. Our quality control department has
established internal rules and criteria to govern our procurement from our

pressing machines, heating machines, cooling machines, compressing machines,
various kinds of testing machines and a CAD computerized design
system.
Our
Production Processes
The
following flowchart outlines our standard production process for our footwear
products:
11
Blanking:
|
Auxiliary materials are tailored to form auxiliary components with various specified forms in accordance with the requirements of processing technique, including outside and inside material cutting. | |
High
frequency:
|
High-frequency
induction heating equipment is utilized for carrying out mold heating to
materials of soft and hard leather and material of real leather or cloth
in certain forms so as to ensure the occurrence of concavo-convex patterns
on the surface of the materials.
|
|
Stitching:
|
It
is also known as sewing, which are assembled into the upper of
semi-finished products by means of personal skills in accordance with the
production flow.
|
|
Embroidery:

Scribers
are utilized for marking lines for the upper bushed on the shoe tree so as
to determine the position in which the upper is mutually pasted up with
the shoe sole.
|
Heat
setting:
|
Shoes
are put into a neat setter for heating so as to shape the vamp
of the shoes.
|
Cementing:
|
It
refers to a production process in which the binding agent is evenly
brushed on the upper
and the outer bottom.
|
Sole
laying:
|
The
shoe sole with glue is jointed with the upper bushed on the shoe
tree.
|
Press
fitting:
|
Gas
in the interface is further eliminated by the action of pressure when the
shoe sole just
starts
to conglutinate with the upper but is not completely cured, thereby
enhancing the
mutual
penetration of adhesive molecules and improving the bond
strength.
|
Cold
setting:
|
Shoes
are put into a cooling chamber for low temperature treatment so as
to
shape
the whole shoes.
|
Quality
Control Measures
Through
Pacific Shoes, we passed the ISO9001:2000 International Quality Control
System Authentication in 2002 and implemented the comprehensive quality
control in accordance with the requirements of the quality control
system. We have set up the quality control section in each production
unit, headed by the team managers who station in the workshop with other
inspectors. Pacific Shoes employs 23 quality inspectors to undertake the field
testing and inspection in the factory. The quality control department and other
relevant departments, adopts the abrasion resistance tester, tension tester,
folding resistance tester, non-yellowing tester, low-temperature bending
machine, hydrostatic pressure tester, color fastness tester and other precise
instruments and equipment to get comprehensive technical parameters and
properties of raw and auxiliary materials, semi-manufactured goods and finished
products. We apply complete quality testing and control system throughout the
production.
At
present, the Company has the following testing equipments used for carrying out
comprehensive tests to the materials, function, color change, bending
resistance, slip stopping performance and wear resistance of the whole shoe so
as to ensure the quality, service life and good wearing experience of finished
products.

With all
inspection and test machines installed, the Company is capable of conducting a
series of test, such as avulsion, peeling, compression, bending resistance, over
the finished products, the semi-manufactured products, the raw materials, and
the like. This has provided more scientific and technical supports to the
Company’s production. In 2007, Pacific Shoes was awarded the “High-tech
Enterprise” by the Fujian Science and Technology Bureau for their
height-increasing function shoes.
Outsourcing
Our
products are manufactured through a combination of internal and external
production, which we believe is cost-effective and to meet unforeseen demand. We
produced majority of our footwear products in our three production lines while
we also outsourced certain of our products to six external contract
manufacturers to enhance our production cost. For the period ended June 30,
2009, approximately 10.59% of our footwear product were produced by external
contract manufacturers. We do not enter into long term agreements
with our external contract manufacturers, and these purchase contracts do not
contain any terms that will restrict our ability to engage other contract
manufacturers.
Sales
and Marketing
Distribution
Network
We sell
our products substantially on a wholesale basis to our distributors who are
responsible for distribution to retail outlets which sell our products to
consumers. Through our distributors, the sales network of our products has
covered 24 Chinese provinces and administrative regions in various modes, such
as retail outlets, counters in department stores and shopping malls, and wall
racks in large supermarkets. In addition, our products, including our branded
products and ODM products, sold in the South America account for 25.18 % of the
total sales amount for the period ended June 30, 2009.
Sales
Model
Prior to
February of 2009, we employed a wholesale business model in the Chinese market.
We entered into annual distributorship agreements with our distributors which
set out key terms, such as the geographic area within which they are authorized
to sell our products, credit and payment terms and annual sales and network
expansion targets. As of June 30, 2009, we had a total of 26
distributors including 22 independent distributors in 22 provinces and regions
and 4 authorized distributors in 2 provinces. We do not directly own or operate
any retail outlets and do not enter into any contractual relationship with third
party retail outlet operators.
Independent
Distributors. In 2009, we have 22 independent distributors covering 22
provinces and regions of China. Each distributor is entitled to sell our
products exclusively in one province or region. We sell our products to the
distributors at a uniform discount to the unified retail price. The distributors
then distribute our products through their sales network in their respective
province. Our independent distributors manage local networks through the third
party retail operators they appointed. In 2009, our independent distributors
control a total of 24 retail outlets in 22 provinces and regions.
Authorized
Distributors. To be qualified as our authorized distributors, such
distributors need to own and directly manage a minimum of three retail outlets,
counters in department stores and shopping malls, or wall racks in large
supermarkets. In 2009, we have 4 authorized distributors who own and
directly manage their branches and retail stores to sell our products in four
cities (including one city in Anhui province, and three cities in Fujian
province). The authorized distributors are required to sell our products to
consumers at our unified retail price, however, the discount to the unified
retail price we provide to these 4 authorized distributors is less than the
discount we provide to the independent distributors.
14
We
advanced cash to the independent distributors to assist them to expand the
number of retail outlets and distribution points in the related geographic areas
in which they are located. We set guidelines for our authorized distributors in
respect of the location and decoration of the outlets with the aim of increasing
their sales opportunities and improving the recognition of our Baopiao branded
products. We believe our business model enables us to achieve growth by
leveraging the resources of our distributors, as well as the expertise in retail
distribution and retail management and local relationship of our distributors.
Among others, our largest distributor, Taiwan Quanyi Xingye Co., Ltd. (through a
Jujian import and export agent ) had a total value of $2,347,552 of sales of our
products (including our branded shoes and ODM products) for the period ended
June 30, 2009.
In
addition to our traditional wholesale model, we have started to employ “On-line
Sales” model as a supplementary sale approach since February 2009. Customers in
China can browse over 300 styles of footwear (including different colors ) among
our five products series and place orders through our online retail store
(www.baopiao.com/shop or www.bepure.com.cn/shop). We accept payments through
wiring, remittance, or Alipay (a third party online payment service provider
similar to Paypal). All of our websites have registered for an internet content
provider (ICP) license which is required by PRC Ministry of Information. As our
On-line Sales is still in the early development stage and the on-line sales
amount, for the period from February, 2009 to September, 2009, is $71,000, which
accounts for approximately 0.43% of the total sales amount for the period ended
September 30, 2009.
Qualification
of Distributor
All
distributors are required to be financially and professionally competent in the
sale of sports and casual footwear. Prospective distributors should submit their
application for distribution and get assessed, and only qualified candidates may
conclude a one-year distributor agreement with us and get permission as a
regional distributor. All distributors shall sell the Baopiao branded sports and
leisure products in a specified region under our authorization, being
responsible for the market development and management and actively expanding
sales outlets. Counterfeited Baopiao branded products are denied, otherwise, the
Company shall have the right to disqualify such distributors. We believe that
our sales network through our distributors is relatively strong in second and
third-tier cities in the PRC.
Evaluation
of Distributor
We
conduct evaluation to our distributors once a quarter in terms of annual
performance, store appearance maintenance, outlet exploration scales and speed,
the timeliness and accuracy of information feedback, the scale of fixed assets,
the standardization of operation and the like. If any distributor fails to
fulfill its monthly sales target or annual sales target or target for
establishing new sales outlets for consecutive 6 months, we are entitled to
cancel the exclusive distribution right of such distributor.
Pricing
We adopt
“unified retail price” rule pursuant to which we sell our products to our
distributors at discounts to the suggested retail price. We believe that this
ensures fairness and transparency within our distribution
network. The suggested retail price in the PRC for our products
ranged from approximately $18 to $30. In determining the suggested retail
prices, we take into account of market supply and demand, cost of production,
the prices of competing products and our consumers’ purchasing power. All retail
outlets are required to follow our pricing policies. Any discount of our retail
price is generally permitted for end of season sales or holiday promotion. The
level of any such discount is decided and approved by us on a case-by-case
basis.
Credit
Control
We
generally grant line of credit to our distributors based on their
creditworthiness and credit history. We grant credit periods, normally for six
months, to some agents with good sales performance.
Customer
Services
We have
established a customer service system which deals with the feedback from
customers in time. We have set up a 400-8823-899 toll-free telephone
for customer communication and to handle complaint and dispute and quality
arbitration. Customers can dial the toll free telephone number to report quality
complaint very conveniently. All problems and complaints reported by customers
are thoroughly studied to reach a proper settlement.
15
Marketing
and Brand Promotion
We
believe that to create a strong brand image and increase brand recognition is
crucial to our operation. We primarily utilize the internet, magazines and
outdoor displays in our media advertising. We also organize other activities to
promote our Baopiao brand, and some of which are run by our distributors,
including promotional events during the holidays and the end of seasons. We hold
promotion activities in various forms focusing on the seasonal new product
launch. These promotion activities include discount sales, gifts, outdoor
advertisements, magazine advertisements, on-line activities and the like. Our
distributors also contribute to the marketing and promotion of our brand by
conducing local promotions within their geographic areas.
Original
Design Manufacturer (“ODM”)
In
addition to manufacturing footwear products for our own brands, we also engage
in ODM manufacturing whereby we are commissioned by APIS, a footwear brand in
South America to manufacture footwear according to their specifications. The
total sales of our ODM products for the period ended June 30, 2009 and for the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are listed as below:

Our
Competition
We
compete with an increasing number of local and international players. We believe
our strongest competitors in the footwear market include sports footwear brands
Nike, Li Ning, and Anta, and casual footwear brands BELLE group, Teenmix and
Saturday in terms of brand recognition in the PRC. The market share of BELLE in
China is relatively high, being 4.6% in 2008, among which, TATA is also a brand
name of BELLE group, with a total market share of 6.8% in 2008. They
respectively account for 21.5% and 10.3% in the top ten brands in China during
2008.
We
believe that our main competitive advantages are as below:
l We offer
high quality and functional footwear products. Our R&D team enables us to
bring new footwear styles with features such as height-increasing function. We
believe that our quality control procedures combined with our design
capabilities enable us to increase the quality of our products. We
undertake quality control measures at difference stages of our production
process and we obtained ISO9001:2000 quality control certification for our
footwear production in 2002. In 2006, our branded footwear has been
named as one of “Chinese Famous Brand Products” by the General Administration of
Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC.
l Our sales
models allow us to quickly respond to changes in consumer preferences and
fashion trends. We believe that our sales model enables us to react rapidly to
market trends. Our On-line Sales enables us to observe market trends and
customer preferences, and give us a platform to test marketing initiatives and
gain direct access to consumer feedback.
l We have
dedicated management team. Our management team has extensive experience in
footwear industry. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Li has approximately 15
years of experience in footwear operations and management. Our senior management
has broad experience in sales and marking, manufacturing and quality control. We
believe that the extensive experience of our senior management team has
contributed to the successful development of our business.
16
Our
Research and Development
We
believe that technological innovation is a key to increasing product quality.
Our internal research and development center was set up in 2002 and is primarily
responsible for conducting our research and development
activities. Our research and development efforts are focused on
following objectives: preparing and setting the technical strategy for the
Company, introducing and applying new technologies and materials, creating and
improving the footwear molds, materials, types and functions, detecting and
determining the technical performance of products, improving the technical
indexes of products, and providing technical support for the manufacturing
department, the sales department and the quality control
department. As of November 5, 2009, we have 30 staff members
dedicated to research and development, including 4 market analysts, 6 pattern
makers and 20 computer designers and sample makers. All of our
research staff has experience in the footwear industry. Our market
analysts attend various domestic footwear trade exhibitions to keep themselves
informed of the latest fashion trends. Our pattern makers work
closely with the sales and procurement teams in designing new products and in
improving existing products. Our design team develops and improves concepts and
ideas upon the sales records of our products and other market information. The
amount we spent on research and development activities during the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 were $19,000 and $85,000 and accounted for
approximately 1%, and 4%, respectively, of our total revenues.
In 2008,
our subsidiary, Pacific Shoes introduced the CAD/CAM software developed by a
famous footwear designer from Taiwan to facilitate automatic sample design. The
main developing work is as follows:
1. CAD
(Computer Aided Design System)/CAM (CAM, Computer Aided Manufacturing System)
three dimensional aided designed upper sample so as to improve the accuracy of
designed sample and save raw materials.
2.
CAD/CAM three dimensional aided designed out sole mold so as to improve the
clearness of patterns and three-dimensional effect of out soles.

We
believe our coverage and insured limits are customary for similar companies in
our industry in China. We do not have general product liability insurance for
any of our products. Nevertheless, we believe that our practice is in line with
the general practice in the PRC as product liability insurance is not required
under the PRC laws. We have not received any material claim
from customers relating to any liability arising from the use of our products
which have resulted in adverse impact to our business.

Regulations
We are
subject to a wide range of regulation covering every aspect of our business. The
most significant of these regulations are set forth below.
21
We are
subject to national and local laws of China, including China’s environmental
laws and regulations. Under the relevant Chinese environmental laws,
all manufacturing enterprises must submit an environmental impact report to the
relevant environmental protection authority before starting production
operations. In addition, manufacturing enterprises must engage
professional environmental organizations to monitor and report on pollutants and
emission regularly. We do not produce material waste during our
production. The main pollutants generated by our plants of Pacific Shoes are
solid waste and exhaust gas. We have taken the necessary measures to
control the discharge of these pollutants. We have carried out the
relevant environment impact assessments and have obtained all the required
permits and environmental approvals for our production facilities. Our Baopiao
Shoes has passed the environment impact assessment before commencing
construction of production facilities. We are in material compliance with the
Chinese environmental laws and regulations as of November 5, 2009.
Moreover,
we are subject to Product Quality Law of the PRC, which is applicable to all
activities of production and sale of any product within the territory of the
PRC, and the producers and sellers shall be liable for product quality in
accordance with such law.
In
addition, according to the Consumer Protection Law of the PRC, the rights and
interests of the consumers who buy or use commodities for the purposes of daily
consumption or those who receive services are protected and all manufacturers
and distributors involved must ensure that the products and services will not
cause damage to persons and properties.
The PRC
Production Safety Law also requires that we shall maintain conditions for safe
production as provided in the Production Safety Law and other relevant laws,
regulations, and various standards. Any entity that is not sufficiently equipped
to ensure safe production may not engage in production and business operation
activities. We are required to offer education and training programs to our
employees regarding production safety. Since the commencement of our
business, none of our employees has been involved in any major accident in the
course of their employment and we have never been subject to disciplinary
actions with respect to the labor protection issues.
Legal
Proceedings
From time
to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that
arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is
subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other
matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We
are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe
will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or
operating results.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below, which constitute all of the
material risks facing us. If any of the following risks actually
occur, our business could be harmed. You should also refer to the
other information about us contained in this report, including our financial
statements and related notes.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
Our
Baopiao branded products have a limited history in the branded footwear industry
and failure to effectively promote or maintain our Baopiao Brand may adversely
affect our performance and sales.
Our
Baopiao branded products were first introduced to the market in 2003. We seek to
position our brand as a high quality sports and casual footwear brand targeting
consumer groups between the ages of 18 and 48. We believe our brand
is critical to our success as we believe that market perception and consumer
acceptance of a brand is a determining factor for consumers in purchasing
decisions. Our revenues from sales of our Baopiao branded products
were approximately $11,821,000 and $18,516,000 representing approximately 87.64%
and 91.97% of the total revenues in 2007 and 2008, respectively. We market our
brands mainly through media commercials including outdoor advertising and
magazine advertising. We are dependent on market perception and
consumer acceptance of our products, over which we have no
control. Any negative publicity or disputes regarding our brands,
products, or the loss of any award or accreditation associated with our Baopiao
brand such as “PRC Fujian Province Well-Known Trademark” and “China Well-Known
Trademark” could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition. If we fail to successfully promote our brands position, the market
recognition of our brands may suffer. As a result, consumer confidence in our
brands may be eroded and our business, profitability and results of operations
may be adversely affected.
22
We
rely on a small number of suppliers for a large portion of our raw material and
product supply and any interruption of supply from these suppliers would affect
our results of operations.
The
principal raw materials used in the production of our footwear products are
leather, buffed leather, fabrics, nature rubber, synthetic rubber, soles and
plastics. All of raw materials are obtained from domestic suppliers
in the PRC. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, our five
largest raw material suppliers accounted for approximately 33.1% and 34.17%,
respectively, of the aggregate amounts of raw materials we purchased, and our
largest raw material supplier accounted for approximately 10.32% and 14.71% for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, of the
aggregate amounts of raw materials we purchased. We do not enter into
long-term agreements with our raw material suppliers and generally procure the
raw materials that we required through purchase orders issued by us from time to
time which set out the terms regarding the price, purchase quantity, delivery
terms and settlement terms, among others. There is no assurance that such
suppliers would be able to deliver raw materials to us in a timely manner or at
acceptable prices and quality. We cannot guarantee that there will be no
interruption in the supply of raw materials from our suppliers. Any disruption
in supply from our suppliers may adversely affect our business and results of
operations. Fluctuations in the costs of our principal raw materials and our
inability to pass on any increases in raw materials costs to our customers by
increasing the suggested retail prices of our products may materially and
adversely affect our cost of sales.
We
mainly rely on distributors for the sales of our products and any failure by us
to maintain good relationships with them may adversely affect our
business.
Substantially
all of our revenues were generated from sales of our products to our
distributors, which in turn sell our products to consumers in the PRC through
retail outlets operated or controlled by them. Prior to 2009, we do not sell any
of our products directly to consumers and we do not own or operate any
authorized retail outlets. In 2008, we sold over 83.95% of our products through
over 26 distributors (including 22 independent distributors and 4 authorized
distributors). Our five largest distributors accounted for approximately 36.38%
and 37.59% of our total revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007
and 2008, respectively, and our largest distributor accounted for approximately
9.16% and 10.55% of our total revenues for the financial years ended December
31, 2007 and 2008. We therefore expect to continue to rely on these distributors
for our sales of products. As such, the sales performance of our distributors
and the ability of our distributors to expand their business and sales networks
are crucial to the future growth of our business. Furthermore, we do
not have long-term agreements with these distributors, but generally enter into
distributorship agreements with them for a term of one year, renewable annually.
There is no assurance that we will be able to renew the distributorship
agreements with these distributors on mutually acceptable terms or at all. If
any of our distributors terminates or does not renew its distributorship
agreement with us, we may not be able to replace such distributor with a new and
effective distributor in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us, or at
all. Our distributors are required to meet minimum purchase targets. However, if
our distributors do not place orders at historical levels or at all or, if any
major distributors substantially reduce their volume of purchases from us or
ceases its business relationship with us, our business, financial condition
could materially suffer.
A
distributors’ failure to perform its obligations under its distributorship
agreement with us could materially and adversely affect our business in a
geographic area in the PRC.
As each
of our distributors has exclusive distribution rights over a certain geographic
area, the failure by such distributor to perform its obligations under its
distributorship agreement with us may result in a material adverse effect on the
business in such area. Most of our distributors are granted exclusivity over one
province or region. If any of our distributors becomes unable or unwilling to
supply our products in the geographic area over which such distributor has
exclusively distribution rights, the business in that area will be materially
affected.
Further,
we also rely on the obligations set forth in the distributorship agreements with
our distributors to impose our retail policies on them. As we do not enter into
any agreements with the third party retail outlet operators, we rely on our
distributors to manage these retail outlets and to ensure that they operate in
accordance with our retail policies. There is no assurance that our distributors
or the third party retail operators will comply with, or that the distributors
will enforce our retail policies. In such event, we may not be able to
effectively manage our sales network or maintain a uniform brand image, and we
cannot guarantee that such third party retail operators would offer quality
services to consumers. Although we intend to replace any distributors who
consistently fail to comply with, or fail to cause the third party operators to
comply with our retail policies, we may be unable to replace them in a timely
manner. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of
operations may be adversely affected.
23
Because we depend on the third party to
market our products in the international market, any problems encountered by
such party could affect our sales.
We do not
have any offices outside of the PRC, and we depend on a third party, (Taiwan)
Quanyi Xingye Co., Ltd. to market our Baopiao branded products to South America.
As a result, we are dependent upon such distributor, over which we have no
control, to develop and implement an international marketing effort. Any
problems encountered by such party, including potential violations of laws of
the PRC or other countries, may affect their ability to sell our products which
would, in turn, affect our net sales.
Our
new sales models have a limited operating history.
Since
2009, we adopted new sales model which we believe can flatten our sales
channels. We have developed the On-line Sale model through our website
www.baopiao.com and www.bepure.com.cn as
the supplement approach. Since these sales modes are in their early
stage, it is difficult to identify the difficulties that we may encounter in the
different stages of developing and implementing new sales models. As we lack
experience in the management of the On-line Sales, we may not be successful in
the execution of this new sales model. You should not rely on our past results
as an indication of our future performance and management of this sales models.
If we are unable to successfully address these risks, difficulties and
challenges in the new sales model, our business, and financial condition results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our
sales volume and operating results are sensitive to seasonality.
Substantially
all of our revenue is derived from our sales in the PRC. Our performance is
sensitive to local consumers spending patterns. Our operation results have
fluctuated from season to season. We generally recorded higher sales in the
first quarter and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters. The
seasonality of our sales is primarily attributable to the seasonal nature of
some of our products. In addition, there are other factors relevant to
seasonality which may affect our sales, including national holidays and weather
conditions. Accordingly, any unpredictable change during such periods may
adversely affect our operation results, and any comparison of our operating
results between our interim and annual results in a calendar year is not
necessarily meaningful.
We
may be unable to manage future rapid growth.
We have
grown rapidly over the last few years. Our sales increased by 49% from
$13,488,000 in 2007 to $20,131,000 in 2008. In 2007, we sold approximately 80
styles of footwear. In 2008, we phased out approximately 60 footwear styles and
had approximately 100 new footwear styles. We intend to continue to
expand the volume and variety of products we offer, as well as the geographical
scope of our sales and production facilities. Our business growth
could place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial
resources. Our ability to manage future growth will depend on our
ability to continue to implement and improve operational, financial and
management information systems on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate
and manage our workforce. We cannot assure you that our personnel,
systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future
growth. If we are unable to effectively manage our growth, including
the rapid expansion of the distribution network, it may be difficult for us to
execute our growth strategy and a decrease in the market demand for our products
could result in an accumulation of inventory at the distribution network. As a
result, it may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operation.
We
are dependent on certain key personnel and loss of these key personnel could
have a material adverse effect on our research and development, operations and
revenue.
Our
success and ability to expand our operations depend heavily on our ability to
attract, retain and motivate qualified key personnel, in particular, we rely on
our chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Haiting Li. Mr. Li, together with
other senior management, has been the key driver of our strategy and has been
fundamental to our achievements to date. The successful management of
our business is, to a considerable extent, dependent on the services of Mr. Li
and other senior management. The loss of the services of any key management
employee or failure to recruit a suitable or comparable replacement could have a
significant impact upon our ability to manage our business effectively and our
business and future growth may be adversely affected. Furthermore, if we are
unable to attract and retain qualified employees, we may be unable to meet our
business and financial goals.
24
We
are subject to credit risk in respect of account receivables.
We sold
the majority of our products to our distributors, who are generally granted a
credit period between 90 to 180 days, the exact terms of which are determined
based on factors such as past sales performance and credit
history. For each of the two years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008,
our third party trade receivables outstanding were $2,452,607, and $6,102,998,
which accounted for 13.01%, and 20.22%, of our total assets, respectively. We
perform ongoing credit evaluations of our distributors’ financial condition and
generally require no collateral from them to secure their payment obligations.
As our sales increase, the amount of accounts receivable from our distributors
will increase. Should a significant number of our distributors fail to settle
the account receivables in full in a timely matter for any reasons, our
financial conditions and profitability could be adversely affected.
We
face increasing competition from both domestic and foreign companies, which may
affect our market share and profit margins.
We
believe that the footwear industry is highly competitive in the PRC and on a
worldwide basis. Our ability to compete against other national and international
enterprises is, to a significant extent, dependent on our ability to distinguish
our products from those of our competitors by providing high quality products at
reasonable prices that appeal to consumers’ tastes and
preferences. Some of our competitors may have been in business longer
than we have, may be better established in their markets. Our current
or future competitors may provide products comparable or superior to those we
provide or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving industry trends or changing
market requirements. Increased competition may result in price
reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share, any of which could
materially adversely affect our profit margins. We cannot assure you that we
will be able to compete effectively against current and future
competitors.
Our
business could be adversely affected by intellectual property rights disputes or
proceedings with third parties for possible infringement of their intellectual
property rights.
Our
principal intellectual property rights include our trademarks for our brand, and
our domain names. To date, we have four trademarks, eight pending
trademarks and seven domain names. There is no assurance that we will be
successful in obtaining trademarks currently under application or which we may
develop in the future, and that the third parties will not infringe our
intellectual property rights. We depend, in large part, on PRC laws to protect
our trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights. Our efforts to
enforce or defend our intellectual property rights may not be adequate and may
require significant attention from our management and may be
costly. The outcome of any legal actions to protect our intellectual
property rights is uncertain. If we are unable to adequately protect or
safeguard our intellectual property rights, our business, financial condition
and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our
business could be materially and adversely affected by claims of third parties
for possible infringement of their intellectual property rights.
We have
not faced any claims that our products have infringed upon any third parties’
intellectual property rights, but we may face such claims from time to time
during our operation. If any legal proceeding against us for infringement of
intellectual property rights is successful, we may be prohibited from
manufacturing or selling products which are dependent on the usage of such
intellectual property. In such case, we may experience a material adverse effect
on our business and reputation, and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our
borrowing levels and significant interest payment obligations could limit the
funds we have available for various business purposes.
We have
relied mainly on a high level of borrowings to fund a portion of our capital
requirements, and expect to continue to do so in the future. As of
June 30, 2009, we had total borrowings of $2,045,348. The bank loans
as of June 30, 2009 were collateralized by the buildings, land use right, and
guaranteed by Mr. Li Haiting, the CEO of the Company. Historically, we have
repaid a significant portion of such short-term loans by rolling over the loans
on an annual basis. In addition, we may not have sufficient funds
available to pay all of our borrowings upon maturity. Failure to roll
over our short-term borrowings at maturity or to settle our debt could result in
the imposition of penalties, including increases in rates of interest that we
pay on our debt and legal actions against us by our creditors, or even
insolvency.
25
The
registered capital of Baopiao Shoes has not yet been fully
contributed.
Baopiao
Shoes was incorporated on February 15, 2006 with an approved registered capital
of 50 million Hong Kong dollars. As of this report, 16,370,500 Hong Kong dollars
has been contributed to Baopiao Shoes which accounts for 32.74% of its
registered capital. Pursuant to its Articles of Association, its registered
capital must be contributed within three years from the date of issuance of the
business license of such enterprise, otherwise, pursuant to the current PRC
regulations, the business license for Baopiao footwear shall become invalid or
be revoked. Although the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau renewed Baopiao
Shoes’ business license on March 24, 2009, and the local Bureau of Commerce
issued an written consent on April 8, 2009 to approve the extension of capital
contribution of Baopiao Shoes till December 31, 2009, we cannot predict whether
the business license may be held invalid by other competent PRC governmental
authorities. If the business license is held invalid or revoked, it
would adversely affect our business operation.
We
are subject to risks of doing business internationally. If the international
market does not grow as we expect, our business and financial condition may be
adversely affected.
Through
one of our distributors, 25.18% of our total revenues are generated from the
sales to South America, including the sales of our ODM products. Our revenues
from the oversea sales are subject to a number of inherent risks, including
local economic and political conditions, including disruptions in trading
markets; restrictive foreign governmental actions, including restrictions on
transfers of funds and trade; protection measures, including export duties and
quotas and customs duties and tariffs; and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Any of the foregoing risks could have a material and adverse effect on our
operating results. As a result, our products and our revenues would be decreased
and we may need to adjust our market strategy.
Increase
in labor costs in China may adversely affect our business and our
profitability.
The
footwear industry in labor is intensive. Labor costs in China have been
increasing recently, and we cannot assure you that the cost of labor in China
will not continue to increase in the future or that we will be able to increase
the prices of our products to offset such increases. If labor costs in China
continue to increase, our production costs will increase. If we are not able to
pass these increases on to our customers, our business, profitability and
results of operations may be adversely affected.
We
may be exposed to product liability, property damage or personal injury claims
and our current insurance coverage may not sufficient to cover the risks related
to our operations
We do not
presently maintain product liability insurance. We may be exposed to product
liability claims from time to time and as a result, we may have to expend
significant financial resources to defend against such claims. We believe that
such product liability claims risks will increase as legal concepts in product
liability claims begin to develop in the PRC. Therefore, we may face
significant costs and expenses to defend against such claims or enter into
settlement agreements, and we may suffer serious damage to our reputation, be
subject to material monetary damages and be subject to government
investigations. As a result, our reputation, business and financial condition
will be materially and adversely affected.
Currently
we maintain insurance policies in respect of damage to properties, equipment,
raw material and inventories. Any events and any losses or liabilities that are
not covered by our current insurance policies could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
We
may fail to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer tastes and fashion
trends in the footwear industry in a timely manner.
We
operate in an industry that is subject to rapid and unpredictable changes in
consumer preferences. Our success depends on our ability to identify and respond
to constantly shifting consumer tastes and fashion trends and to develop new and
appealing products on a timely basis. This requires continued anticipation and
responsiveness to ever changing market and fashion trends. If we
misjudge consumer tastes or fashion trends, the demand for our products may
decrease and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
26
We
are a holding company that heavily relies on dividends and other distributions
paid by our subsidiaries to fund future cash and financing
requirements.
We are a
holding company and operate our core business through our subsidiaries in the
PRC. We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our
subsidiaries for our future cash and financing requirements. If our
subsidiaries incur debt in the future, instruments governing the debt may
restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.
Furthermore, relevant PRC laws and regulations permit payment of dividends by
PRC companies only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in
accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC laws and
regulations, our Chinese subsidiaries are required to set aside 10% of its
after-tax profits each year to fund a statutory surplus reserve. As a
result of these PRC laws and regulations, our Chinese subsidiaries are
restricted in its ability to transfer a portion of its net assets to us in the
form of dividends. Limitations on the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries
to pay dividends to us could adversely affect our ability to grow, make
investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay
dividends or otherwise fund and conduct the our business.
RISKS
RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA
All
of our assets are located in the PRC and any adverse Changes in PRC economic and
political policies could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic
growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and harm our
results of operations.
We carry
on all of our business and generate most of our sales in the
PRC. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and
legal developments in the PRC. The PRC economy differs from the
economies of most developed countries in many respects,
including:
·
|
the
higher level of government
involvement;
|
·
|
the
early stage of development of the market-oriented sector of the
economy;
|
·
|
the
rapid growth rate;
|
·
|
the
higher level of control over foreign exchange;
and
|
·
|
the
allocation of resources.
|
·
|
the
balance of payment position.
|
The PRC
economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented
economy, and as a key market in the global economy, is also influenced by
worldwide economic conditions including the recent global economic
slowdown. For the past three decades the PRC government has
implemented economic reform measures emphasizing utilization of market forces in
the development of the PRC economy. Some of these measures will
benefit the overall PRC economy, but may have a negative effect on
us. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may
be adversely affected by:
·
|
changes
in PRC political, economic and social
conditions;
|
·
|
changes
in policies of the PRC government, including without limitation, changes
in policies affecting private business, foreign investment and
footwear industry;
|
·
|
changes
in laws and regulations or the interpretation of laws and
regulations;
|
·
|
measures
which may be introduced to control inflation or
deflation;
|
·
|
changes
in the rate or method of taxation;
and
|
·
|
imposition
of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittances
abroad.
|
China’s
social and political conditions are also not as stable as those of the United
States and other developed countries. The PRC government has
previously taken actions to stabilize the country’s economy and any possible
social unrest. It has implemented various measures intended to create
stable momentum and growth. We cannot assure that such growth will be
sustained in the future. Any sudden changes to China’s political system or the
occurrence of widespread social unrest could have a material adverse effect on
the overall economic growth and the level of the development of footwear
industry in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our
products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our
businesses.
27
A
downturn in the economy of China may slow our growth and
profitability.
The
growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and
economic sectors. There can be no assurance that growth of the Chinese economy
will be steady or that any downturn will not have a negative effect on our
business.
Our
business is largely subject to the uncertain legal environment in China and
legal protection could be limited to you and us.
We are a
holding company, and we conduct our business primarily through our operating
subsidiaries incorporated in China. We and our operating subsidiaries are
generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in
China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises.
Furthermore, Chinese law governs almost all of our material agreements. The PRC
legal system is based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a
system in which prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have
limited precedential value. Since 1979, the PRC government has been
developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress
has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters,
such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce,
taxation and trade. However, as these laws and regulations are
relatively new, and due to the limited volume of published cases and judicial
interpretation and their lack of precedential force, interpretation and
enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties,
which may limit legal protections available to us. In addition, some
regulatory requirements issued by certain PRC government authorities may not be
consistently applied by other government authorities (including local government
authorities), thus making strict compliance with all regulatory requirements
impractical. Furthermore, intellectual property rights and confidentiality
protections in China may not be as effective as in the U.S. These uncertainties
could limit the legal protections available to us and investors.
It
is difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against our
officers, directors and assets based in China.
As
majority of our officers and our executive directors are residents of China and
not of the U.S., and substantially all the assets of these persons are located
outside the U.S. As a result, it could be difficult for United States
investors to enforce their legal rights, effect service of process in the U.S.,
or to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S. against our Chinese officers,
directors and subsidiaries. There is also uncertainty as to whether the courts
in China would enforce judgments of United States courts against us or our
directors and officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the
securities laws of the United States or any other state, or adjudicate an
original action brought in China based upon the securities laws of the United
States or any other state. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in
effect between the United States and China would permit effective enforcement of
criminal penalties of the Federal securities laws. In addition, any
litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and
diversion of our resources and management attention.
Price
inflation in China could negatively affect our competitive advantages and our
results of operations.
In recent
years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly
fluctuating rates of inflation. Because we purchase raw materials
from suppliers in China, this price inflation has increased the costs of the raw
materials we must purchase for production. This trend risks counteracting the
competitive advantage we enjoy as a result of the relatively lower production
costs we incur from operating in China. If inflationary trends continue in
China, China could lose its competitive advantage as a low-cost manufacturing
venue, including with respect to our products, which could in turn lessen any
competitive and reputational advantages we gain through China-based
manufacturing. Accordingly, continuing or increasing inflation in China may
weaken our competitiveness in our markets and have a material adverse effect on
our profitability in China. Negative inflation may also cause a period where
consumers are reluctant to spend, as consumers anticipate lower prices for
products in the future.
28
Restrictions
on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues
effectively and limit the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries to obtain
financing.
All
of our revenues and expenses are denominated in Renminbi. As a result, any
restrictions on currency exchange may limit its ability to use revenue generated
in Renminbi to:
·
|
fund
business activities outside the
PRC;
|
·
|
settle
and repay its indebtedness; and
|
·
|
pay
out dividends to its shareholders.
|
Under
China’s existing foreign exchange regulations, our Chinese subsidiaries may
purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions,
including payments of dividends to us, without prior approval from the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain
procedural requirements. However, we cannot assure you that that the Chinese
government will not take further measures in the future to restrict access to
foreign currencies for current account transactions. Furthermore, Foreign
exchange transactions under the capital account will be subject to significant
foreign exchange controls and require the approval of or need to register with
Chinese government authorities, including SAFE. Capital account
transactions refer to inflows and outflows of capital, produce increases or
reductions in debt and equity, including direct investments, various types of
borrowings and investments in securities. If our Chinese subsidiaries borrow
foreign currency through loans from us or other foreign lenders, these loans
must be registered with SAFE and if the loans exceed certain borrowing limits,
must be approved by SAFE. In addition, if we finance the subsidiaries by means
of additional capital contributions, these capital contributions must be
approved by certain government authorities, including the Ministry of Commerce,
or their respective local counterparts. These limitations could
affect our Chinese subsidiaries’ ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt
or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from
us.
Failure
to comply with Chinese registration requirements relating to the establishment
of offshore special purpose companies by the PRC resident shareholder may
adversely affect us.
On
October 21, 2005, SAFE issued a regulation (“SAFE Circular No. 75”) entitled
“Circular on Several Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Regulation of Corporate
Finance and Roundtrip Investment by PRC Residents through Special Purpose
Companies Incorporated Overseas”. SAFE Circular No. 75 requires PRC residents to
register with the competent local SAFE branches with respect to the offshore
special purpose companies (the “SPVs”) in which they have invested, directly or
indirectly, and to file amendments to their registrations in connection with
certain material transactions involving capital variations of the SPVs. Under
SAFE Circular No. 75, failure to comply with the registration procedures set
forth above may limit our ability to contribute additional capital into or
provide loans to our Chinese subsidiaries and may also result in penalties,
including imposition of restrictions on a PRC subsidiary’s foreign exchange
activities and its ability to distribute dividends to the SPV and its ability to
pay the SPV proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or
liquidation in respect of the PRC subsidiary.
On May
29, 2007, SAFE formulated internal implementation rules and guidelines (“SAFE
Circular No. 106”) for SAFE officials to apply and enforce SAFE Circular No. 75.
SAFE Circular No. 106 was aimed at interpreting and clarifying SAFE Circular No.
75. However, as these rules were only recently promulgated, it is currently
unclear as to how they will be interpreted and implemented. In addition, as SAFE
Circular No. 106 is an internal implementation rule within the SAFE authorities,
it is unclear how the regulation, and any future legislation concerning offshore
or cross-border transactions will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the
relevant government authorities. Mr. Li being the beneficial shareholder of
Peakway and domestic residents of the PRC, has applied for the foreign exchange
registration of overseas investments at the local branch of the SAFE in
accordance with the SAFE Circular 75. Our PRC legal counsel believes that there
is not any obstacle to obtain such registration nor to satisfy the SAFE Circular
75.
However,
Mr. Li is required to file a modification to the foreign exchange registration
for overseas investment in the event of any material capital changes, including
a subsequent equity financing for our companies outside of the
PRC. Payment of dividends, profits and other payments to us will not
be permitted unless the aforesaid modification has been filed. The failure or
inability by Mr. Li to comply with the SAFE rules, if SAFE requires it, may
subject him to fines or other sanctions and may also limit our ability to
contribute additional capital into or our Chinese subsidiaries, limit our
Chinese Subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to us, or otherwise distribute
profits or proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation
to us, or otherwise adversely affect us. Failure by our beneficial owner to
comply with SAFE filing requirements described above could result in liability
to these shareholders or our Chinese subsidiaries under PRC laws for evasion of
applicable foreign exchange restrictions.
29
Recent
PRC regulations relating to cross-border mergers and acquisitions may impact
us.
On
August 8, 2006, six Chinese regulatory agencies, including the Ministry of
Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) and the SAFE,
jointly issued the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies
by Foreign Investors, or the New M&A Rule, which became effective on
September 8, 2006, to more effectively regulate foreign investment in PRC
domestic enterprises. The new M&A Rule also has certain provisions that
require offshore special purpose vehicles formed for the purpose of acquiring
Chinese domestic companies and directly or indirectly established or controlled
by Chinese entities or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to
publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock market. On
September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website a notice
specifying the documents and materials that are required to be submitted for
obtaining CSRC approval.
The
application of this new M&A rule is currently unclear. Although we acquired
the equity interests in Baopiao Shoes and Pacific Footwear after the New M&A
Rule became effective, they were established as qualified foreign invested
enterprises prior to the effective date and we acquired such equity interests
from another offshore company. Our PRC legal counsel believes that the new
M&A rule and the CSRC approval do not apply to us.
It is not
clear how the provisions in the new regulation regarding the offshore listing
and trading of the securities of a special purpose vehicle apply to us. We
believe, based on the interpretation of the new regulation, that CSRC approval
is not required for this reverse acquisition. Since the new regulation has only
recently been adopted, there remains some uncertainty as to how this regulation
will be interpreted or implemented. If the CSRC or another Chinese regulatory
agency subsequently determines that the CSRC’s approval is required, we may face
sanctions by the CSRC or another Chinese regulatory agency. If this happens,
these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in
China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the
repatriation of our net proceeds from this offering into China, restrict or
prohibit payment or remittance of dividends to us or take other actions that
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations, and our reputation.
We
are subject to risks presented by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars
and Renminbi.
We
publish our financial statements in U.S. dollars, while all of our revenue is
denominated in Renminbi. The value of our common stock will be affected by the
foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Renminbi. Since 2005,
the PRC government has managed floating exchange rate system to allow the value
of the Renminbi to fluctuate within a regulated band based on market supply and
demand and by reference to a basket of currencies. However, we cannot
predict when the PRC government will allow free conversion of Renminbi into
foreign currencies. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S.
dollars into Renminbi for our operational needs and should the Renminbi
appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position may be
harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S.
dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other
business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S.
dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be
reduced.
The
discontinuation of any preferential tax treatment or other incentives currently
available to us in the PRC could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Our
subsidiaries enjoy certain special or preferential tax treatments regarding
foreign enterprise income tax in accordance with the “Income Tax Law of the PRC
for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises” and its
implementing rules. Accordingly, they have been entitled to tax
concessions whereby the profit for the first two financial years beginning with
the first profit-making year (after setting off tax losses carried forward from
prior years) is exempt from income tax in the PRC and the profit for each of the
subsequent three financial years is taxed at 50% of the prevailing tax rates set
by the relevant tax authorities. However, on March 16, 2007, the
PRC’s National People’s Congress passed a new corporate income tax law, which is
effective on January 1, 2008. This new corporate income tax unifies the
corporate income tax rate, cost deduction and tax incentive policies for both
domestic and foreign-invested enterprises. According to the new
corporate income tax law, if an enterprise incorporated outside the PRC has its
30
“effective
management” located within the PRC, such enterprise may be recognizes as a PRC
tax resident enterprise and be subject to the unified enterprise income tax rate
of 25% over a five-year grandfather period. We cannot rule out the
possibility that our subsidiaries not incorporated in the PRC may be recognized
as a PRC tax resident enterprise under the new corporate income tax law in the
future. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or
other incentives could have an adverse affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which may have an unfavorable
impact on our stock price and liquidity.
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “WOLI.OB”. The OTC Bulletin
Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or
NASDAQ system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board
may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential
stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading
price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our
ability to raise capital in the future.
Our
principal stockholder has the power to control our business.
Our
principal stockholder, Cabo Development Limited, owns 70% of our common stock as
of November 11, 2009. As a result, Cabo Development Limited has the ability to
elect all of our directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder
action, without the vote of any other stockholders. Our principal stockholder
may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control,
impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or
discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.
We
are subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions.
The SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an
equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exemptions. As a “penny stock,” our common stock may become
subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Penny Stock
Rule.” This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together
with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to
sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers
to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of
our securities in the secondary market.
For any
transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery,
prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by
the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also
required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer
and the registered representative and current quotations for the
securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stock.
There can
be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny
Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from
the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or “Exchange Act”, which gives the SEC the
authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny
stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public
interest.
Standards
for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain,
and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and
our stock price could decline.
Rules
adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and
attestation of this assessment by our company's independent registered public
accountants. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities
necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting. In addition, the attestation process by our independent registered
public accountants is new and we may encounter problems or delays in completing
the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of
our assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If we cannot
assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our
independent registered public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified
attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may
be negatively impacted.

have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as
information relating to the plans of our current management. This report
includes forward-looking statements. Generally, the words "believes,"
"anticipates," "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "estimate,"

Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or
outcomes to differ materially from those projected. Undue reliance should not be
placed on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date
hereof. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking
statements.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other
financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 8-K.
OVERVIEW
The
Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name of
Wollemi Mining Corp. The Company became an OTC-listed reporting
(Section 15(d)) issuer on March 26, 2008 under the ticker
“WOLI.OB”. The Company's CUSIP Number is 977863 109.
On
November 11, 2009, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction with
Peakway Worldwide Limited (“Peakway”), a company incorporated under the laws of
British Virgin Island. The exchange was consummated under the laws of the State
of Delaware and pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement dated as
of November 5, 2009 (“Share Exchange Agreement”).
Pursuant
to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 10,500,000 shares of its
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the stockholder of Peakway, Cabo
Development Limited (“Cabo”), representing 70% of the Company’s issued and
outstanding common stock, in exchange for the 1,000 outstanding shares of
Peakway held by Cabo. Immediately after giving effect to the reverse
transaction, the Company had 15,000,000 shares of its common stock outstanding.
Pursuant to this exchange, Peakway became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and most of the Company’s business operations are now conducted through
Peakway’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fujian Jinjiang Pacific Shoes Co., Limited
(“Pacific Shoes”), and Fujian Baopiao Light Industry Co., Limited (“Baopiao
Shoes”), two limited companies incorporated in Jinjiang City Fujian Province
China under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). On November 5,
2009, the Board of the Company, approved to change its name to Pacific Bepure
Industry Inc. The Board also approved to change the Company’s trading symbol to
reflect the Company’s current business.
The
business operations of Peakway are conducted through its indirect wholly-owned
Chinses subsidiaries, Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes (collectively “Chinese
Subsidiaries”). Our Chinese Subsidiaries develop, manufacture sports and casual
footwear and sell a majority of its products through distributors. All of our
products are designed by us for our exclusive distribution and joint sales under
the brand name of “Baopiao”. Pacific Shoes have four registered trademarks and
eight pending trademarks. We mainly target at women customers.
Our
Chinese Subsidiaries totally have 598 full time employees. With three production
lines and advanced techniques in place, our Chinese Subsidiaries are capable of
designing, producing and processing its own-branded products as well as
providing ODM services for a South America brand. In 2008, the
Company sold the majority of its products across 24 provinces in China.
Meanwhile, 25.18% of our total revenues were generated from the sales to South
America through our distributor. Since 2009, we, through 4 authorized
distributors, started to adopt direct retail outlets to flatten our sales
channels. Our sales network includes 24 retail outlets managed by our 22
independent provincial distributors and 15 retail outlets managed by our
authorized distributors in the PRC market. We have also developed the
Online Sale model directly to the customers through our websites www.baopiao.com
and www.bepure.com.cn as the supplement approach.
32
Business
Review
Our
Baopiao brand was first introduced to the market in 2003 and we intend to
position our brand as a high quality sports and casual footwear brand targeting
consumer groups between the ages of 18 and 48. Revenues from sales of
our Baopiao branded products were approximately $18,516,000 and $11,821,000,
representing approximately 91.97% and 87.64% of the total revenues in 2008 and
2007, respectively. Substantially all of our revenues were generated from sales
of our products to our distributors, which in turn sell our products to
consumers in the PRC through retail outlets operated by them, .
We have
grown rapidly over the last few years. Our sales increased by 49.25% from
$13,488,136 in 2007 to $20,131,118 in 2008. The number of product types we sold
increased from approximately 80 in 2007 to approximately 120 in early
2009. We intend to continue to expand the volume and variety of
products we offer, as well as the geographical scope of our sales and production
facilities in the PRC.
However,
we are now facing challenges due to the recent global financial
crisis. The location of our Chinese Subsidiaries, Jinjiang, a small
city in Fujian, China, has a total of 3,112 footwear companies with 380,000
stuffs. In the year of 2008, 950 million pairs of sports shoes are
manufactured, which accounted for one-fifth of the world's total pairs of sports
shoes. However, in the year of 2009, Jinjiang reported double-digit decreases in
exports of footwear. The financial condition of the company in the first half
year of 2009 is also affected and met a downturn. The local government believes
that the financial crisis is a serious blow to local companies not only engaging
in OEM or ODM for overseas markets, but also on the domestic
market.
The
global financial crisis has adversely affected our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows, and we have difficulty to work on the full capacity
like the early years. On the other hand, we believe there is still a huge
potential in the Chinese domestic shoe market, especially in the second- and
third-tier cities. Since 2009, the Company has started to advance the
distributors to expand their sales networks in the second- and third-tier
cities. The Company believes that the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games played a key
role to boost the sports and casual industry in the PRC and sports and casual
footwear market in China is expected to be expanded.
Though
the global economy went through the gradual recessions from 2007, the Company
persistently carried out its investment in brand building and marketing
resources. Since 2007, the Company has been focused on promoting its most
competitive products — the Business Series products which are very popular among
Chinese women consumers. By optimizing the business model and strengthening the
R&D efforts, the Company has built an enhanced marketing network for a
cluster of Baopiao shoes. Meanwhile, the Company has invited experienced
personnel to its management team.
The
Company believes that it has made progress in its financial performances for the
fiscal year 2008 and for the first half of 2009, primarily through the proactive
brand promotion, the integrated marketing, the products R&D and the sales
channels expansion.
Brand
promotion and marketing
By means
of proactive celebrity endorsement, sponsored activities and terminal
construction, Baopiao has been recognized as one of the well-known brands in the
PRC sports and casual footwear market. The Company was engaged with Chinese
movie stars and sponsored influential fashion activities to strengthen the brand
image and highlight the distinctive products. In addition, the Company launches
media commercials, including internet, outdoor and magazine advertising, and
retailing terminal promotion, to ensure best coverage on its events and brand
publicity. For example, in 2009, the Company launched a lucky draw event through
the Company’s website, certain popular Chinese websites and the Company’s retail
outlets, and every customer stands a chance to win a prize.
The
Company also emphasizes the decoration of its outlets in order to spread the
brand image and increase the recognition of our product among customers. The
Company intends to guideline distributors to unify store posters, products
display, and promotion activities in the outlets, as well as to make progress in
both the brand image and sales volumes of these outlets.
33
Channel
expansion and management
In 2008
and the first half of 2009, the Company tried to implement the channel expansion
and management as follows:
1. to put
more efforts in attracting distributors to build the sales network in 24
provinces and regions in the PRC.
2. to
extend our coverage and control of sales terminals by expanding outlets in major
cities as well as second and third tier cities across the PRC. The Company
increased the relationship with the authorized distributors to strengthen its
control over sales terminals, which the Company believes will bring an
advantageous position in the future competition.
3. to
initiate the Internet sales and network marketing by building our websites and
collaborating with other online sales platforms.
4. to
continue to redecorate stores. The Company has assisted its distributors to
decorate their retail outlets with decoration of more fashion, freshness and
eye-catchiness, including the decent graceful logo and the standardized superior
decoration design. We think the store images will perfectly combine the brand
concept and innovative ideas, and will provide better shopping experience for
consumers.
Products
R&D
The
Company has been trying to develop attractive footwear products to satisfy the
demand of target market and to interpret the fashion trends. Meanwhile, the
Company has been focused on the R&D and application of new craftsmanship,
new materials and new technologies, to streamline the Company’s innovative brand
concept and international sports fashion. The Company increased its input in
R&D, new equipment and talent recruitments to develop fashionable stylish
and practical footwear products. In addition, the Company keeps adding new
elements into the product designs to enrich the brand connotation and win
consumers’ in-depth recognition of Baopiao brand, thus ensuring the fashion
trend-setter position of “Baopiao” in the female sports and
casual shoes market.
The
Company utilizes the three dimensional scanning bionic technologies, including
the integrated dynamic analysis, the force measurement and the plantar pressure
analysis as well as the techniques combing the feet modeling and the feet
database analysis, to develop functional, healthy and comfortable shoes. In
2007, the Company was rewarded the title of Hi-tech Enterprise by the local
authority.
Supply
chain management
Every
year, the Company holds two Order-placing Fairs for our Biaopiao branded
footwear. In response to the diverse demands from regional markets, the Company
integrated its purchase strategy for raw materials, including the regular
materials and the special materials for customized products. This strategy has
helped the Company improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of the materials
purchase. The Company is continuing to improve the guidance and assessment on
suppliers.
The
Company is constantly optimizing the supply chain and inventory management to
maintain advantages in the inventory turnover. During the fiscal year 2008, the
average inventory turnover has reduced to 59 days from 128 days in 2007,
representing an obvious improvement in the capacity of asset turnover. On the
other hand, the Company implements a sound credit control over account
receivables and has managed to turn the receivables turnover from 59 days in
2007 to 78 days in 2008.
In 2009,
in response to the surge in labor costs and raw material prices, the Company
adopted proactive cost management by, among many other thins, improving internal
operation and improving supply chain planning,. The cost management has
effectively relieved the Company from the pressure due to the rising costs of
labor, materials and related costs. As a result, the Company was able to
maintain the cost-based competitiveness and the stable growth in gross
margin.
34
Information
management
The
Company has set up the information management system which consists of financial
management, sales management, supply chain management, production management,
decision-making support and database service functions. This is an integrated IT
system and is able to the requirements of business development. The Company will
continue to apply the new system to its sales terminals, especially retail
outlets.
Prospect
To seek
sustainable development, the Company will enhance the image building for its
Baopiao brand and create distinctive brand characters. The Company thinks these
measures are essential for the stable growth in the long-run business operation.
Besides, the Company is seeing improvement in the core capacity of management
team, marketing team and auditing team as well as the overall business
capability.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our
estimates on an on-going basis and use them on historical experience and various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances as
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates because of different assumptions or
conditions.

Revenues
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s revenues were $20,131,118,
representing an increase of $6,642,982 or 49.25% when compared to $13,488,136
for the same period in 2007. The increase is mainly attributable to the
Company’s mature operation and investment in the following aspects:
1. the
expansion of sales network. During this year, the Company made efforts to
attract new distributors and broaden sales network across 24 provinces in
China.
2. the
development of foreign markets. Throughout the in-depth foreign market research,
the Company launched a series of localized products to meet the requirements of
foreign consumers. These products were designed with innovative mixture of
Baopiao’s original elements and particular preferences of foreign lands. With
improved core values of products, the Company was able to export more goods
through its import and export agent to the South American market.
3. the
management distributors. The Company made regular analysis on all distributors,
their sales status, their business philosophy, their business commitment, their
financial resources, their cooperative intentions and the like, while choosing
the regional distributors for Baopiao products. In the end, the Company found
the most trustable, potential and motivated brand agencies to distribute Baopiao
products in certain regions. The Company also granted its distributors some
preferential policy and partial funds to be used for the construction of
flagship stores, in order to promote sales growth in these key
areas.
4. the
market-oriented R&D. Over the years, the Company has made very
good judgment on the international fashion trend and consumer preferences. In
2008, the Company made extensive and in-depth investigation of the domestic and
foreign markets as well as the consumer research and industrial analysis before
it started to design various products for different consumers. In order to meet
the market demand in different sales areas, the Company tried to develop
localized products with innovative elements that are more suitable for the
specific markets.

5. the
optimized product structure. The Company made further adjustments in the
production process to enlarge product categories. The Company’s upgraded product
structure has brought with more consumer recognitions.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, $3,231,000 of our sales revenues were generated from the foreign markets, representing an increase of 16.26% when compared to $2,779,000 for the same period in 2007. Because we did not receive the export license from the PRC government, we exported our goods to foreign markets through our import and export agent.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the domestic eastern market contributed $2,731,000
to the Company’s sales revenue, representing an increase of 17.01%, when
compared to $2,334,000 earned a year ago. The northern market generated sales
revenues of $8,340,000, representing an increase of 72.71%, when compared to
$4,829,000 for the same period in 2007. The southern market achieved sales
revenues of $5,829,000, representing an increase of 64.38%, when compared to
$3,546,000 for the same period in 2007.
In 2008,
the Company has witnessed a mild growth in sales revenues that were derived from
the international market and the domestic eastern region, in contrast to the
significant increase in sales revenues from the domestic northern and southern
region. Such significant increase was attributable to the following
reasons:
1. The
Company has made efforts in expanding to the South America shoes
market.
2. The
Company has facilitated a positive integration between the weak markets and the
strong ones. The eastern region has always been the Company’s weakest domestic
market. Yet, it was inspired by the strong northern and southern markets in
2008. It was an important strategy of the Company to attain the harmonious echo
of the weak market to the strong markets. The Company saw a 17.01% increase in
sales revenue for the eastern region in 2008. Such increase was also
attributable to the extensive sales network and the high sales volume of the
stores.
37
3. The
northern sales were primarily driven by joint efforts of the Company and its
Beijing-based distributors to expand to surrounding market and promote brand
coverage in the blind zone. Moreover, the improved product structure has
stimulated the northeastern region in which cotton-padded shoes are the anchor
of sales growth.
4. The
key reason for the southern growth is that the Company and distributors tried to
expand the sales network in those blind zones. For example, with the rapid
development of economy and spending power, the Yunnan provincial market has
reached a higher recognition on our products, prices, and brand concept, and
created a rapid growth in sales.
The
strategies of maintaining revenue growth
The
Company retains the traditional sales mode of “distributorship while
establishing “Single exclusive stores, self-run direct chain stores, franchisee
and network sales” four integrated selling methods in major cities across China.
The Company increased its funding for the R&D, the equipment, the facilities
and the talents enrolment, in order to develop the stylish, graceful and
practical shoes products. The Company constantly added new design elements to
enrich the brand connotation and promote consumers’ recognition of Baopiao
brand. All of these strategies have, thus ensured the fashion trend-setter
position of Baopiao in the sports and leisure female shoes.

CONTINGENT
LIABILITIES
In
accordance with the PRC tax regulations, the Company’s sales are subject to
value added tax (“VAT”) at 17% upon the issuance of VAT invoices to its
customers. When preparing these financial statements, the Company recognized
revenue when goods were delivered, and made full tax provision in accordance
with relevant national and local laws and regulations of the PRC.
The
Company follows the practice of reporting its revenue for PRC tax purposes when
invoices are issued. In the local statutory financial statements prepare under
PRC GAAP, the Company recognized revenue on an “invoice basis” instead of when
goods are delivered. Accordingly, despite the fact that the Company has made
full tax provision in the financial statements, the Company may be subject to a
penalty for the deferred reporting of tax obligations. The exact amount of
penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The
director considers it is very unlikely that the tax penalty will be
imposed.

For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company achieved sales revenues of
$2,502,349 from the international market, representing an increase of 61.76% as
compared to $1,546,924 same period in 2008, as our products continued to
penetrate to foreign markets, especially in the South America.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company achieved sales revenues of $699,143
from the domestic eastern market, $2,281,581 from the northern market and
$1,577,940 from the southern market. Domestic eastern and southern markets
played a key role in stabilizing the business operation, so that the Company was
able to live through the negative impact from the financial crisis. The Company
believes the market expansion and steady development will be fundamental for the
full-wing takeoff of Baopiao. Northern market generated fewer revenues as
expected, because the distributors in Changchun withdrew from their agency for
personal reasons. Sales revenues will continue to grow once we find the new
distributors in this region.

For the

OPERATING
EXPENSES
Sales
and marketing expenses
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, sales and marketing expenses were $118,475, or
1.68% of revenues, representing an increase of 104.13% when compared with same
period in 2008. The main reasons are as follows:
1. The
Company started to update and unify the brand building, including the logo, the
interpretation and the endorsement of Baopiao brand. And this has resulted in
significant increase in advertising expenses and marketing cost compared to the
same last period.
2. In
addition to the existing sales mode of distributorship, the Company established
its own retail outlets in major cities across China and enlarged its products
lines in 2009. Therefore a considerable amount of marketing expenses were
utilized to build the franchised stores and shelves.
42
General
administrative expenses
General
administrative expenses were $448,962, or 6.36% of revenues, for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, representing an increase of 162.37% as compared to the same
period in 2008. The main reasons are as follows:
1. The
Company strengthened its R&D efforts to develop more attractive and stylish
products.
2. In
order to address the business expansion and to standardize the internal
management, the Company recruited a number of managerial staff. This has
resulted to an increase in the office expenses and operational
costs.
3. The
Company thinks it is important to maintain a good relation with employees. We
have tried to provide the necessary office facilities and the requisite welfares
to its employees.
Finance
cost
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, finance cost was $56,519, or of 0.80% of
revenues, representing an increase of $2,633, or 4.89% as compared with $53,886
the same period in 2008. Such finance cost was attributable to the incremental
bank loans for this reporting period.
Net
profit
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, net profit was $1,297,326, representing a
decrease of $100,370 or 7.18%, as compare to $1,397,696 for the same period in
the previous year. The decrease was primarily due to sharp increase in the sales
and marketing expenses as well as the administrative expenses to combat against
the global financial crisis. While maintaining a stable profitability, the
Company will attach much importance to the growth of sales revenues and brand
awareness.
Net
profit margin
Net
profit margin was 18.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing a
decrease of 3.99% as compared to 22.36% for the same period in 2008. To address
the negative impact from the global financial crisis and maintain the stable
cooperation with the distributors, the Company has decided not to increase the
prices for new products. On the other hand, the management expenses surged
during this period. These have caused the decline of our net
margin.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

June 30, 2009, the Company’s total assets were $25,308,380, representing a

CONTINGENT
LIABILITIES
In
accordance with the PRC tax regulations, the Company’s sales are subject to
value added tax (“VAT”) at 17% upon the issuance of VAT invoices to its
customers. When preparing these financial statements, the Company recognized
revenue when goods were delivered, and made full tax provision in accordance
with relevant national and local laws and regulations of the PRC.
The
Company follows the practice of reporting its revenue for PRC tax purposes when
invoices are issued. In the local statutory financial statements prepare under
PRC GAAP, the Company recognized revenue on an “invoice basis” instead of when
goods are delivered. Accordingly, despite the fact that the Company has made
full tax provision in the financial statements, the Company may be subject to a
penalty for the deferred reporting of tax obligations. The exact amount of
penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The
director considers it is very unlikely that the tax penalty will be
imposed.
OFF
BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We offer
competitive remuneration schemes to our employees based on industry practices as
well as the employee’s and our performance.
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market
risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign
exchanges, commodity prices, equity prices and other market-driven rates or
prices. The Company, in its normal course of business, is exposed to market risk
through changes in interest rates with respect to bank loans. As of June 30,
2009, the Company bank loans were $2,045,348. The interest rate for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 was between 6.06 % and 8.46 % per annum.
Currency
Risk
The
Company considers RMB its functional currency since a substantial portion of the
Company’s business activities are based in RMB. However, the Company has chosen
the United States dollar as its reporting currency. Our sales and purchases are
conducted within the PRC in RMB. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is
regulated by the People’s Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate
system. Although the PRC government has stated its intention to support the
value of the RMB, there can be no assurance that its rate of exchange will not
again become volatile or that the RMB will not devalue significantly against the
U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S.
dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived from our operations in the
PRC. In addition, the RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and
all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized
institutions.
Transactions
in currencies other than the functional currency during the period are
translated into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange at
the time of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
currencies other than functional currency are translated into functional
currency at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet
date. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the combined statements of
operations.
45
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. When there are material adjustments under
this process, they are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income under
the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.
Country
Risk
Our
business, assets and operations are located and conducted in the PRC. While the
PRC’s economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years,
growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the
economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage
economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures
benefit the overall economy of the PRC, but may also have a negative effect on
us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely
affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax
regulations applicable to us. If there are any changes in any policies by the
PRC government and our business is negatively affected as a result, then our
financial results, including our ability to generate revenues and profits, will
also be negatively affected.

responsible for determining the compensation of our named executive

Mr. Haiting Li - our CEO’s
employment agreement with Pacific Shoes was renewed on December 5,
2007.
Mr. Zhong Zhao our CFO’s
employment agreement with Pacific Shoes became effective as of January 8,
2009.
Each of
the employment agreements provide that the executives will be provided cash
compensation. The employment agreements do not provide any change in
control or severance benefits to the executives, and we do not have any separate
change-in-control agreements with any of our executive officers.
Indemnification
of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability
At the
present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director,
officer, employee or other distributor of ours in which indemnification would be
required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation
or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification. No November
5, 2009, Our Board has approved to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to
provide for the indemnification of any and all persons whom it shall have power
to indemnify under the Delaware General Corporation Law from and against any and
all of the expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by
such law.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Except
for the ownership of the Company’s securities, and except as set forth below,
none of the directors, executive officers, holders of more than five percent of
the Company’s outstanding common stock, or any member of the immediate family of
any such person have, to the knowledge of the Company, had a material interest,
direct or indirect, in any transaction or proposed transaction which may
materially affect the Company.
During February, 2008 and October,
2008, Pacific Shoes provided five unsecured, non-interest bearing loans to our
CEO and the Chairman of the Board, Haiting Li, in the total amount of RMB 31
million. In January, 2009, the loans had been paid in full by Haiting Li out of
the dividends he received from Pacific Shoes.
Our board
of directors is charged with reviewing and approving all potential related party
transactions. All such related party transactions must then be
reported under applicable SEC rules. We have not adopted other procedures for
review, or standards for approval, of such transactions, but instead review them
on a case-by-case basis.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
Common
Stock
We are
authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001
per share.
Each
share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. Directors shall
be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of
directors.
The
holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to dividends out of funds
legally available when and as declared by our Board. Should we decide in the
future to pay dividends, as a holding company, our ability to do so and meet
other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from
our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. In addition, our
operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on
their ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the
conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other
regulatory restrictions. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets
available to stockholders after payment of all creditors.
All of
the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that
additional shares of our common stock are issued, the relative interests of
existing stockholders will be diluted.
We have
obtained the written consent of the majority of our stockholders approving to
amend our Certificate of Incorporation that, among other things, authorize and
create 20,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share.
Preferred
Stock
We
currently do not have any authorized preferred stock. On November 5,
2009 our Board and our majority shareholders approved an amendment to our
Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of
preferred stock in the capital of our corporation, for which the Board may fix
and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variations of each
class or series within each class of the shares of preferred stock.

CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 4.01 of this report, which
disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
MARKET
FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
On July
3, 2008, our common stock was listing for trading on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board under the symbol “WOLI.OB”. There has been no trading of our
securities, and, therefore, no high and low bid pricing.
52
Reports
to Stockholders
We plan
to furnish our stockholders with an annual report for each fiscal year ending
December 31 containing financial statements audited by our independent certified
public accountants. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act.
Approximate
Number of Holders of Our Common Stock
On
November 5, 2009, there are approximately 31 stockholders of record of our
common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each
share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders
of the common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their
common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the common stock.
Dividends
We have
not paid dividends on our common stock. Any future decisions regarding dividends
will be made by our board of directors. We will rely on dividends
from our Chinese Subsidiaries for our funds and PRC regulations may limit the
amount of funds distributed to us from Chinese Subsidiaries, which will affect
our ability to declare any dividends.
We
currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and
expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.
Penny
Stock Regulations
Our
shares of common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, "penny
stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity
security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered
and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by
the SEC, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the
definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the
issuer's net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer's net
tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least
three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the
issuer's average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed
$6,000,000.
Trading
in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements
for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include
individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional
investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a
special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules
require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure
document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,
and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be
sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may
restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our
common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of
shareholders to sell their shares.
RESENT
SALE OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 3.02 of this report, which
disclosure is incorporated by reference into this section.
ITEM
3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
On
November 11, 2009, we consummated the transactions contemplated the Share
Exchange Agreement with the stockholder of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Peakway. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we
acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Peakway in exchange for
10,500,000 shares of our newly issued common stock, par value $.0001 per share
that will constitute
53
approximately
70% of the issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of this
transaction, Cabo Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, became
the beneficial owner of approximately 70% of our outstanding capital
stock.
On
September 29, 2009, one former shareholder entered into two Stock Purchase
Agreements with certain purchasers, pursuant to which, such shareholder agreed
to sell 2,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company. We reported
the consummation of the stock purchase in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on October 23, 2009 and the Stock Purchase Agreements
were included as an exhibit to such report.
On May
31, 2008, we sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock to 25 investors for $.03 per
share pursuant to our S-1 registration statement for $30,000.
ITEM
4.01 CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(a)
Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On
November 5, 2009, we dismissed Chang G. Park, CPA as our independent auditor,
effective on November 5, 2009. A copy of the letter from Chang G. Park, CPA
addressed to the SEC will be also filed as Exhibit 16.2.
Chang G.
Park, CPA’s reports on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and for the period ended June 30,
2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.
During
our two recent fiscal years and from January 1, 2009 to the date of this report,
there were no disagreements with Chang G. Park, CPA on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure. There were no reportable events, as described in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, during our two recent fiscal years and from
January 1, 2009 to the date of this report.
(b)
Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On
November 5, 2009, concurrent with the decision to dismiss Chang G. Park, CPA as
our independent auditor, our board elected to appoint PKF, CPA as our
independent auditor.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and from January 1, 2009 to
the date of this report, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf
consulted PKF,CPA with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles
to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and
neither a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided
that PKF concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching
a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii)
any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable events set forth
in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
Prior to
engaging PKF, CPA, they did not provide our company with either written or oral
advice that was an important factor considered by our company in reaching a
decision to change our independent registered public accounting firm from Chang
G. Park, CPA to PFK, CPA.
ITEM
5.01 CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
Reference
is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this report, which
disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. On November 11, 2009, we
consummated the reverse acquisition with Peakway Worldwide Limited, the former
shareholder of Peakway, Cabo Development Limited, through which the shareholders
of Peakway delivered to us all the issued and outstanding shares of stock of
Peakway. As merger consideration for the Peakway shares, we delivered to them
10,500,000 shares of our newly-issued common stock.
54
Prior to
the closing of the reverse acquisition, we were authorized to issue 75,000,000
shares of common stock, of which 4,500,000 shares of common stock were issued
and outstanding. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Cabo became our
majority shareholder. Mr. Haiting Li, is the controlling stockholder of
Cabo.
In
connection with this change in control, and as explained more fully in Item 2.01
above and in Item 5.02 below, effective on November 11, 2009, Yi Chen resigned
as our Chief Executive Officer. Concurrently, Haiting Li was appointed as our
Chief Executive Officer.
ITEM
5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN
OFFICERS
Upon the
closing of the reverse acquisition, as of November 11, 2009, Mr. Yi Chen, our
sole director, submitted his resignation letter pursuant to which he resigned
from all offices of the Company that he holds and from his position as our
director effective immediately. The resignation of Mr. Chen is not in connection
with any known disagreement with us on any matter. Mr. Haiting Li was appointed
to the Board at the closing time of the reverse acquisition.
A copy of
this report has been provided to Mr. Yi Chen. Mr. Chen has been provided with
the opportunity to furnish us as promptly as possible with a letter addressed to
us stating whether he agrees with the statements made by us in this report, and
if not, stating the respects in which he does not agree. No such letter has been
received by us.
On
November 11, 2009 in connection with the closing of the reverse acquisition, Mr.
Haiting Li was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer, President and
Secretary. Mr. Zhong Zhao was appointed as Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer.
For
certain biographical and other information regarding the newly appointed
officers and directors, see the disclosure under Item 2.01 of this report, which

symbol and will disclose the change on a Current Report on Form
8-K.
ITEM 5.06 CHANGE IN SHELL COMPANY STATUS
As
explained more fully in Item 2.01 above, we were a “shell company” (as such term
is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
immediately before the closing of the reverse acquisition. As a result of the
reverse acquisition, Peakway became our wholly owned subsidiary and main
operating business.

Introduction
to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The
following pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented to
illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition (the “Exchange Transaction”)
of Peakway Worldwide Limited (“Peakway”) by Wollemi Mining Corp. (“Wollemi” or
the “Company”) on the Company’s historical financial position and the Company’s
results of operations.
The pro
forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 assumes the Exchange
Transaction was consummated on that date. The pro forma condensed
combined statements of operations and comprehensive (loss)/income assumes the
Exchange Transaction was consummated on January 1, 2008.
We have
derived our historical financial data for year ended December 31, 2008 and the
six months ended June 30, 2009 from our report previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We have derived the historical
financial data of Peakway for year ended December 31, 2008 from audited
financial statements and the six months ended June 30, 2009 from unaudited
financial statements. The financial statements of Peakway is included
elsewhere in this Form 8K.
The
information presented in the pro forma combined financial statements does not
purport to represent what the Company’s financial position or results of
operations would have been had the Exchange Transaction occurred as of the dates
indicated, nor is it indicative of our future financial position or results of
operations for any period. You should not rely on this information as being
indicative of the forecast and historical results that would have been achieved
had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined
companies will experience after the Exchange Transaction.
The pro
forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions
that the management of the Company believes are reasonable under the
circumstances.
These pro
forma condensed combined financial statements are unaudited and should be read
in conjunction with the accompanying notes and assumptions and the historical
financial statements and related notes of the Company and Peakway.

1. Corporate
information
Peakway
Worldwide Limited (“Peakway” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the British
Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) on November 3, 2006 as a limited liability company
with authorized share capital of $50,000, divided into 50,000 common shares of
$1 par value each. The issued share capital of Peakway is $1,000,
divided into 1,000 common shares of $1 par value each. All of which
are beneficially owned by Cabo Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands
Company. Peakway acts as an investment holding company and currently
has three subsidiaries namely, Alberta Holdings Limited (“Alberta”), Fujian
Jinjiang Pacific Shoes Co., Limited (“Pacific Shoes”), and Fujian Baopiao Light
Industry Co., Limited (“Baopiao Shoes”), which was formerly known as Baopiao
(China) Light Industry Co., Limited.
Alberta
was incorporated in Hong Kong on November 4, 2006 as a limited liability company
with authorized share capital of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), divided into
10,000 common shares of HK$1 par value each. The issued share capital of Alberta
is HK$1, being 1 common share of HK$1 par value. Alberta is also a holding
company and had no other operation since its incorporation.
Pacific
Shoes was established as a sino-foreign equity joint venture entity in the
People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on April 9, 1993 with registered capital
of 5,000,000 Renminbi (“RMB”) (which are not divided into shares) and its
registered capital was fully paid up. Pacific Shoes is engaged in the design,
manufacturing and trading of footwear. Mr. Li beneficially owned the entire
equity of Pacific Shoes since its establishment.
Baopiao
Shoes was established as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in the PRC
on February 15, 2006 with registered capital of HK$50,000,000 (which are not
divided into shares). As of June 30, 2009, its paid up capital was
HK$16,370,470 of which was certified HK$15,401,180. During the
reporting period, Baopiao Shoes had been under development and had not started
commercial operations. Baopiao Shoes is to engage in the design, manufacturing
and trading of footwear. Mr. Li beneficially owned the entire equity of Baopiao
Shoes since its establishment.
Following
a series of reorganization as detailed below, the Company, through its
subsidiaries, designs and manufactures footwear under the brand name
“Baopiao”. The Company mainly sources its suppliers locally in the
PRC.
To
rationalize the group structure for the preparation of a reverse take-over, the
Company has undergone a series of reorganization (the
“Reorganization”). The Company acquired Alberta at a consideration of
HK$1 on November 1, 2007. On January 12, 2009, Alberta acquired 100%
equity interest of Pacific Shoes from Mr. Li. On February 26, 2009,
Alberta acquired 100% equity interest of Baopiao Shoes from Mr. Li.

2. Basis
of presentation
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (the “US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from
these statements pursuant to such rules and regulation and, accordingly, they do
not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive
consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2008.
In the
opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal
recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
six-month periods have been made. Results for the interim period
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected
for the entire fiscal year.
The
Company has conducted the subsequent events review through October 29, 2009, the
date these condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the
director, and determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions
that required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
3. Summary
of significant accounting policies
Principles of
consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentrations of credit
risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash, trade receivables and advances to customers and
distributors. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management
believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade
receivables and advances to customers and distributors, the Company extends
credit based on evaluations of the customers’ and distributors’ financial
positions. The Company generally does not require collateral for
customers and distributors and maintains an allowance for doubtful
accounts.

Fair value of financial
instruments
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines far value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in the US GAAP, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January
1. 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not materially impact the
Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS No. 107 “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments including those financial instruments for which the SFAS No. 159
fair value option was not elected. Except for collateralized borrowings
disclosed is below, the carrying amounts of other financial assets and
liabilities approximate their fair values due to short maturities:-

3. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements (cont’d)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business
Combinations”. SFAS No. 141 (Revised) establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed,
and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also
provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the
business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users
of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS No. 141 is effective for the fiscal year
beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement has
no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS
No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No.
160 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15,
2008. The adoption of this statement has no material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is
intended to improve financial standards for 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. Entities are required to provide
enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under FASB Statement No.133 and its related interpretations; and
(c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of
this statement has no material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB staff position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of
the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. FSP No. 142-3 amends the
factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB
Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new
guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired
individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset
acquisitions. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15,
2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this
standard has no material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 141R-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and
Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies”. FSP 141R-1 amends the provisions in FASB Statement
141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and
accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies in business combinations. SFAS No.141R-1 eliminates the
distinction between contractual and noncontractual contingencies, including the
initial recognition and measurement criteria in FASB and instead carries forward
most of the provisions in SFAS No. 141 for acquired contingencies. FSP 141R-1 is
effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in
evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
The adoption of this standard has no material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements (cont’d)
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Whether a Market is Not Active
and a Transaction Is Not Distressed”. FSP No. 157-4 clarifies when
markets are illiquid or that market pricing may not actually reflect the “real”
value of an asset. If a market is determined to be inactive and
market price is reflective of a distressed price then an alternative method of
pricing can be used, such as a present value technique to estimate fair
value. FSP No. 157-4 identifies factors to be considered when
determining whether or not a market is inactive. FSP No. 157-4 is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 and shall be applied
prospectively. The adoption of this statement has no material effect
on the Company's financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 115-2 and FSP No. 124-2, “Recognition of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP No. 115-2 and FSP No. 124-2
amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in SFAS No. 115, “Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, for debt securities and
the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments
on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP No.
115-2 and FSP No. 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending
after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard has no material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS
No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting
periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial
statements. In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim
Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial
information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim
periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods
ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1
does not have material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, which sets forth
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 will become effective after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement has no material effect
on the Company's financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets”. SFAS No. 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity
(QSPE) from SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” and removes the exception from
applying FIN 46R. This statement also clarifies the requirements for
isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for
sale accounting. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2009. The management is in the process
of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial
statements.

3. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements (cont’d)
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R)”, which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) to
address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity.
SFAS No. 167 also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation
for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a
variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which
enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity
and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive
benefits from the entity. Additionally, SFAS No. 167 provides more
timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable
interest entity. SFAS No. 167 shall be effective as of the beginning of each
reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for
interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application
is prohibited. The management is in the process of evaluating the
impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM and
the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 162”, which establishes the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles
recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No.
168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and
Exchange Commission under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. SFAS No. 168 will become effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the impact of
adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASC Update”) No. 2009-05
(“ASC Update 2009-05”), an update to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures. This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in
financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other
provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a
reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the
valuation techniques described in ASC Update 2009-05. ASC Update 2009-05 will
become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2009. The management is in the process of evaluating the
impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update No.2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic
605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – A Consensus of the FASB
Emerging Issues Task Force.” This update provides
application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the
deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated
to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price
hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price
used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence,
if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not
available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party
evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after
January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The management is in
the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s
financial statements.

construction of properties amounting to $512,982, which was contracted for
but not provided for in the financial
statements.
|
(ii)
|
As
of June 30, 2009, the Company had capital commitments with its payment of
registered capital for Baopiao Shoes amounting to
$4,913,149.
|
b. Contingencies
In
accordance with the PRC tax regulations, the Company’s sales are subject to
value added tax (“VAT”) at 17% upon the issuance of VAT invoices to its
customers. When preparing these financial statements, the Company recognized
revenue when goods were delivered, and made full tax provision in accordance
with relevant national and local laws and regulations of the PRC.
The
Company follows the practice of reporting its revenue for PRC tax purposes when
invoices are issued. In the local statutory financial statements prepare under
PRC GAAP, the Company recognized revenue on an “invoice basis” instead of when
goods are delivered. Accordingly, despite the fact that the Company has made
full tax provision in the financial statements, the Company may be subject to a
penalty for the deferred reporting of tax obligations. The exact amount of
penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The
director considers it is very unlikely that the tax penalty will be
imposed.

16. Income
taxes
BVI
The
Company was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, is
not subject to income taxes.
Hong
Kong
Alberta
was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to profits tax rate of
16.5%. It is currently not subject to income taxes because it derived
no taxable income during the period.
PRC
Prior to
January 1, 2008, Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes were subject to a preferential
enterprise income tax (“EIT”) rate at 27%, of which 24% was for national tax and
3% was for local tax, on the assessable profits as reported in the statutory
financial statements prepared under China Accounting Regulations.
On March
16, 2007, the National People's Congress approved the Corporate Income Tax Law
of the People's Republic of China (the "New CIT Law"). The New CIT Law reduces
the standard corporate income tax rate from 33% to 25% with effect from January
1, 2008. Pursuant to the New CIT Law, Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes have been
subjected to EIT at a unified rate of 25% from January 1, 2008
onwards.
According
to the PRC tax laws and regulations, Pacific Shoes and Bapiao being a
sino-foreign equity joint venture entity and a WFOE respectively, were entitled
to, starting from the first profitable year, a two-year exemption from
enterprise income tax followed by a three-year 50% reduction in its enterprise
income tax (“Tax Holiday”).
The Tax
Holiday of Pacific Shoes commenced in year 1993 and ended in year
1997.
Baopiao
Shoes has not started commercial operations and had no reportable profit under
China Accounting Regulations since its incorporation on February 15, 2006.
Baopiao Shoes had not applied for such Tax Holiday to the relevant PRC authority
before the New CIT Law became effective on January 1, 2008. However, pursuant to
the transitional provisions in the New CIT Law, companies qualified for Tax
Holiday must make application prior to January 1, 2008 and the Tax Holiday would
be deemed commence on January 1, 2008 regardless of results of operation.
Baopiao Shoes is therefore not entitled to Tax Holiday.
FIN 48
requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a
"more-likely-than-not" approach. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.
The management evaluated the Company's tax positions and considered that no
additional provision for uncertainty in income taxes is necessary as of June 30,
2009.
17. Earnings
per share
Basic
earnings per share is computed as net earnings divided by the weighted-average
number of common share outstanding for the period.
Dilutive
earnings per share is computed as net earnings divided by the weighted-average
number of common share outstanding for the period plus common stock
equivalents.
F-17
17. Earnings
per share (cont’d)
During
the period, the Company had no dilutive instruments. Accordingly, the
basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.
18. Related
parties transactions
Apart
from the transactions as disclosed in Notes 5 and 12 to the financial
statements, the Company had no material transactions carried out with related
parties during the period.
19. Common
stock
The
Company was incorporated in the BVI on November 3, 2006 as a limited liability
company with authorized share capital of $50,000, divided into 50,000 common
shares of $1 par value each, of which 1,000 shares were issued at par value for
cash upon incorporation.

reserve

$ | 309,688 | $ | 309,688 |
Under PRC
regulations, Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes may pay dividends only out of their
accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. In
addition, these companies are required to set aside at least 10% of their
after-tax net profits each year, if any, to fund the statutory reserves until
the individual balance of the reserve reaches 50% of their corresponding
individual registered capital. The statutory reserves are not
distributable in the form of cash dividends to the Company and can be used to
make up cumulative prior year losses.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, no appropriation to this statutory
reserve was made as the reserve reached 50% of the Pacific Shoes’ registered
capital and Baopiao Shoes did not make any profit during the
period.
21. Defined
contribution plan
Pacific
Shoes and Baopiao Shoes have defined contribution plans for all qualified
employees in the PRC. Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes and their employees
are each required to make contributions to the plans at the rates specified in
the plans. The only obligation of Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes with
respect to retirement schemes are to make the required contributions under the
plans. No forfeited contribution is available to reduce the contribution
payable in the future years. The defined contribution plan contributions
were charged to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income. The Company
contributed $8,766 and $8,152 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
respectively.
F-18
22. Segment
information
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information", in respect of its operating segments. The Company's income
is contributed by Pacific Shoes, which operates in a single business segment
that includes the design, development, and manufacturing of footwear and
accordingly no business segment information is presented. The Company’s products
are sold only in the PRC and all the Company’s long-lived assets are located in
the PRC, and accordingly no geographical segment information is
presented.

To the
Sole Director and Stockholder of
Peakway

We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Peakway Worldwide
Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007,
and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income,
stockholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period

1. Corporate
information
Peakway
Worldwide Limited (“Peakway” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the British
Virgin Islands (the “BVI”) on November 3, 2006 as a limited liability company
with authorized share capital of $50,000, divided into 50,000 common shares of
$1 par value each. The issued share capital of Peakway is $1,000,
divided into 1,000 common shares of $1 par value each. All of which
are owned by Cabo Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands
company. Peakway acts as an investment holding company and currently
has three subsidiaries namely, Alberta Holdings Limited (“Alberta”), Fujian
Jinjiang Pacific Shoes Co., Limited (“Pacific Shoes”), and Fujian Baopiao Light
Industry Co., Limited (“Baopiao Shoes”), which was formerly known as Baopiao
(China) Light Industry Co., Limited.
Alberta
was incorporated in Hong Kong on November 4, 2006 as a limited liability company
with authorized share capital of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), divided into
10,000 common shares of HK$1 par value each. The issued share capital of Alberta
is HK$1, being 1 common share of HK$1 par value. Alberta is also a holding
company and had no other operation since its incorporation.
Pacific
Shoes was established as a sino-foreign equity joint venture entity in the
People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on April 9, 1993 with registered capital
of 5,000,000 Renminbi (“RMB”) (which are not divided into shares) and its
registered capital was fully paid up. Pacific Shoes is engaged in the design,
manufacturing and trading of footwear.
Baopiao
Shoes was established as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in the PRC
on February 15, 2006 with registered capital of HK$50,000,000 (which are not
divided into shares). As of December 31, 2008, its paid up capital
was HK$15,401,180. During the reporting period, Baopiao Shoes had
been under development and had not started commercial operations. Baopiao Shoes
is to engage in the design, manufacturing and trading of footwear.
Following
a series of reorganization as detailed in Note 2, the Company, through its
subsidiaries, designs and manufactures footwear under the brand name
“Baopiao”.
The
Company mainly sources its suppliers locally in the PRC.
F-26
2. Group
reorganization and basis of presentation
To
rationalize the group structure for the preparation of a reverse take-over, the
Company has undergone a series of reorganization (the
“Reorganization”).
The
Company acquired Alberta at a consideration of HK$1 on November 1,
2007.
On
January 12, 2009, Alberta acquired 100% equity interest of Pacific Shoes from
Mr. Li without costs.
On
February 26, 2009, Alberta acquired 100% equity interest of Baopiao Shoes from
Mr. Li without costs.
As the
Company, Alberta, Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes have been under the common
control of Mr. Li, the sole shareholder of Cabo, the Reorganization is treated
as if it is a single business combination and the financial information of all
companies now comprising the group for the reporting period was prepared on a
combined basis.
The
consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income and
comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated
statements of stockholder’s equity of the companies under common control now
comprising the group have been prepared as if the current group structure had
been in existence throughout the reporting period, or since their respective
dates of incorporation where this is a shorter period.
The
Company has conducted the subsequent events review through October 29, 2009, the
date these condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the
director, and determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions
that required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
3. Summary
of significant accounting policies
Principles of
consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Alberta,
Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes because they are companies under the common
control of Mr. Li Haiting. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of
estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. These amounts and estimates include, but are not limited to,
the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories and estimation on useful lives
and residual values of properties, plant and equipment and intangible
asset. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F-27
3. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Concentrations of credit
risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash, trade receivables and advances to customers and
distributors. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, all of the Company’s
cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial
institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit
quality. With respect to trade receivables and advances to customers
and distributors, the Company extends credit based on evaluations of the
customers’ and distributors’ financial positions. The Company
generally does not require collateral for customers and distributors and
maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts.
During
the reporting period, customers representing 10% or more of the Company’s sales
are as follows:-

Cash and cash
equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid
investments with initial maturities of three months or less. As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, almost all the cash and cash equivalents were
denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”) and were placed with banks in the
PRC. RMB are not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the
remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control
restrictions imposed by the PRC government.
Restricted
cash
Deposits
in bank pledged as collateral for bills payable that are restricted in use are
classified as restricted cash under current assets.
F-28
3. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Allowance for doubtful
accounts
The
Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s
assessment of the collectibility of trade receivables. A considerable
amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance. The
Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages
to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the
creditworthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and
monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in
the future. If the financial positions of the customers are to
deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance
may be required.
Based on
the above assessment, during the reporting period, the management considers that
the establishment of general provisioning policy is not necessary as the bad
debt experience was rare and insignificant. For those amounts identified as
doubtful after assessment, the Company makes specific provision for these
doubtful amounts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
The
Company extends unsecured credit to customers ranging from 30 to 90 days in the
normal course of business. The Company does not accrue interest on
trade receivables.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined
on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing
the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable
condition.
In
addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use,
current market value and inventory ageing analyses. The Company
writes down the inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory
equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated market
value based upon assumptions about future demand and market
conditions.
There
were no provision of obsolete inventories made during the reporting period.
Historically, the actual net realizable value is close to the management
estimation.
Property, plant and
equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and
other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.
Depreciation
is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful
lives. The useful lives are as follows:-
Estimated
useful
lives
|
|
Plant
and machinery
|
3
to 8 years
|
Office

|
3
to 5 years
|
Buildings

F-29
3. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Property, plant and
equipment (Cont’d)
Maintenance
or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or
disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is
charged or credited to income.
Construction-in-progress
Construction-in-progress
represents assets under construction and is stated at cost. This
includes cost of construction of buildings and other direct
costs. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until such time
the relevant assets are completed and put into operational use.
Intangible
asset
The
intangible asset of the Company is comprised of shoes designing software. The
software is determined to have useful life of 5 years pursuant to the management
experience. The software is stated at cost of purchase less accumulated
amortization and any identified impairment losses in the annual impairment
review.
Land use
rights
Land use
rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization
is provided using the straight-line method over the terms of the lease of 50
years obtained from the relevant PRC land bureau.
Impairment of long-lived
assets
Long-lived
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that
the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows
attributable to such assets. During the reporting period, the Company has
not identified any indicators that would require testing for
impairment.
Revenue
recognition
Revenue
from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks
and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time of
delivery, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably
assured. Returns and exchange require approval from management and
discounts are based on trade terms. The Company reviews and estimates
the rates of return and exchange monthly and made provision for return based on
customers’ and distributors’ past records. From the past records, the return and
exchange are insignificant.

sales consists primarily of material costs, purchasing and receiving costs,
inspection costs, wages, employee compensation, depreciation and related costs,
which are directly attributable to the production of products. Write
down of inventory to lower of cost or market value is also recorded in cost of
sales.
Selling
expenses
Selling
expenses mainly consist of advertising and transportation costs which are
incurred during the selling activities.
Advertising and
transportation expenses
Advertising,
transportation and other product-related costs are charged to expense as
incurred.
Advertising
expenses amounting to $129,197 and $105,011 for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively, were included in selling expenses.
Transportation
expenses amounting to $13,950 and $18,384 for the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively, were included in selling expense.
General and administrative
expenses

Stock-based
compensation
During
the reporting periods, the Company did not have any stock-based compensation
arrangements.
Income
taxes
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the
asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and loss carry forward and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

3. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Comprehensive
income
The
Company has adopted SFAS No.130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive
income include net income and foreign currency translation
adjustments. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the only component of
accumulated other comprehensive income was foreign currency translation
adjustment.
Foreign currency
translation
The
functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”) and RMB is not freely
convertible into foreign currencies. The Company maintains its
financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are
translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the
balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange
gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the
determination of net income for the respective periods.
For
financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are
prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States
dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the
balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average
exchange rates and stockholder’s equity is translated at historical exchange
rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in
determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other
comprehensive income as foreign exchange adjustments, a component of
stockholder’s equity. The exchange rates in effect as at December 31,
2008 and 2007 were RMB1 for $0.1459 and $0.1367, respectively. The average
exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were RMB1 for
$0.1436 and $0.1313, respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in
exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to United States dollars after the
balance sheet date. Recorded in other comprehensive income are
translation exchange gains which amounted to $657,670 and $461,229 for the two
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively.
Operating
leases
Leases
where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with
the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payables under
operating lease are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
Basic and diluted earnings
per share
The
Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods
presented. The weighted average number of share of the Company
represents the common stock outstanding during the reporting
period.

Recently issued accounting
pronouncements
In May
2009, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS
165”). This Statement establishes general standards of accounting for and
disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires
the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events and the basis for that date. This Statement is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and as such, the Company will adopt
this standard in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 165, if any, on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies a consistent
framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in
preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for non-governmental
entities. SFAS 162 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009 and as such, the Company will adopt this standard in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact
of the adoption of SFAS 162 on its financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FASB staff position (“FSP”) FAS 142-3,
“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP
FAS 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or
extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized
intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets
that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business
combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and
interim periods within that fiscal year and as such, the Company will adopt FSP
FAS 142-3 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Early adoption is
prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP FAS
142-3 will have on its financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (“SFAS 161”), which amends the disclosure requirements
of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 161 provides an enhanced understanding about how and why
derivative instruments are used, how they are accounted for and their effect on
an entity’s financial condition, performance and cash flows. SFAS 161, which is
effective for the fiscal year and interim period beginning after November 15,
2008, will require additional disclosure in future filings. The Company adopted
this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and the adoption did not
have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

pronouncements (cont’d)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS
160”). FAS 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 also clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity
that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. FAS
160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008
and interim periods within that fiscal year and as such, the Company will adopt
this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Based on its current
operations, the Company does not believe that FAS 160 will have a significant
impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the
accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the
treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs,
IPR&D and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in
deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in
a business combination after the measurement period will impact income taxes.
SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and as such, the Company will adopt this standard in the
fiscal year 2009. The provisions are effective for the Company for business
combinations on or after January 1, 2009.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. This provides entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently
without being required to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The
provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal
years that start after November 15, 2007 (for the Company, January 1,
2008). The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and the
adoption did not have any material impact on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June
2006, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”).
FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be
recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e. a
likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon
examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at
the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 in
fiscal year 2007 and upon adoption, the Company did not have any material
uncertain tax positions to account for as an adjustment to its opening balance
of retained earnings on January 1, 2007. In addition, as of December 31, 2008,
the Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits.
F-34
3. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements (cont’d)
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair
value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and
states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require
or permit fair value measurements.
SFAS 157,
among other things, requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and
specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to
those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs
reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs
reflect the company’s market assumptions. The effective date was for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within that
fiscal year.
SFAS
No. 157 establishes a three-tiered hierarchy to prioritize inputs used to
measure fair value. Those tiers are defined as follows:
|
-
|
Level
1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability
to access at the measurement date.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
Level
2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1,
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified
(contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for
substantially the full term of the asset or
liability.
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
Level
3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or
liability.
|
The
highest priority in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value is placed on
the use of Level 1 inputs, while the lowest priority is placed on the use of
Level 3 inputs.
This
statement also expands the related disclosure requirements in an effort to
provide greater transparency around fair value measures.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157”, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis (at least annually).
The
Company has expanded the disclosures about the fair value measurements and will
adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and is still evaluating
the impact of the items deferred by FSP FAS 157-2.

Contingencies
|
In
accordance with the PRC tax regulations, the Company’s sales are subject to
value added tax (“VAT”) at 17% upon the issuance of VAT invoices to its
customers. When preparing these financial statements, the Company recognized
revenue when goods were delivered, and made full tax provision in accordance
with relevant national and local laws and regulations of the PRC.
The
Company follows the practice of reporting its revenue for PRC tax purposes when
invoices are issued. In the local statutory financial statements prepare under
PRC GAAP, the Company recognized revenue on an “invoice basis” instead of when
goods are delivered. Accordingly, despite the fact that the Company has made
full tax provision in the financial statements, the Company may be subject to a
penalty for the deferred reporting of tax obligations. The exact amount of
penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty. The
director considers it is very unlikely that the tax penalty will be
imposed.

taxes
BVI
The
Company was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, is
not subject to income taxes.
Hong
Kong
Alberta
was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to profits tax rate of 16.5% (2007:
17.5%). It is currently not subject to income taxes because it derived no
taxable income during the reporting period.
PRC
Prior to
January 1, 2008, Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes were subject to a preferential
enterprise income tax (“EIT”) rate at 27%, of which 24% was for national tax and
3% was for local tax, on the assessable profits as reported in the statutory
financial statements prepared under China Accounting Regulations.
On March
16, 2007, the National People's Congress approved the Corporate Income Tax Law
of the People's Republic of China (the "New CIT Law"). The New CIT Law reduces
the standard corporate income tax rate from 33% to 25% with effect from January
1, 2008. Pursuant to the New CIT Law, Pacific Shoes and Baopiao Shoes have been
subjected to EIT at a unified rate of 25% from January 1, 2008
onwards.
According
to the PRC tax laws and regulations, Pacific Shoes and Bapiao being a
sino-foreign equity joint venture entity and a WFOE respectively, were entitled
to, starting from the first profitable year, a two-year exemption from
enterprise income tax followed by a three-year 50% reduction in its enterprise
income tax (“Tax Holiday”).
The Tax
Holiday of Pacific Shoes commenced in year 1993 and ended in year
1997.
Baopiao
Shoes has not started commercial operations and had no reportable profit under
China Accounting Regulations since its incorporation on February 15, 2006.
Baopiao Shoes had not applied for such Tax Holiday to the relevant PRC authority
before the New CIT Law became effective on January 1, 2008. However, pursuant to
the transitional provisions in the New CIT Law, companies qualified for Tax
Holiday must make application prior to January 1, 2008 and the Tax Holiday would
be deemed commence on January 1, 2008 regardless of results of operation.
Baopiao Shoes is therefore not entitled to Tax Holiday.
