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.

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:

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.

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”.

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.

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.

Among other products, the “Stewardess shoes” are designed with the exclusive upper surface pattern and the font pattern.

Under this series, the raw materials of products include suede, leather, buffed leather, imitation leather, composite fabric, and the substrate materials are PU and rubber. The colors of this series include khaki, army green, silver grey and black.

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.

Our production machinery is comprised mainly of sewing machines, moulding machines, 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:
 
Computerized embroidery machines are adopted to embroider the auxiliary components  and mainly to make trademarks and patterns.
   
Sole-upper linking:
 
Lasting pincers and counter lasting machines are utilized for lasting the upper of  shoes and middle bushings on the shoe tree and shaping.

 
12

 

Scribing:
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.

1
HY-769: low temperature resistance testing machine—mainly for carrying out flexibility test to finished products at a low temperature state and cracking test to flexibility test materials of out soles.

2
HY-762A: bending resistance testing machine of finished footwear—for carrying out bending test to finished footwear at the normal temperature.

3
HY-939: pull testing machine—for testing the peeling strength of materials.

4
HY-953: fracture strength testing machine—for testing the fracture strength of materials (such as the fracture strength tests carrying out to PU, nubuck.)

5
HY-767B: electric friction decolorization testing machine—for carrying out decolorization degree test to all shoe making materials.

6
HY-764A: yellowing resistance testing machine—for testing the yellowing resistance of white material.

7

9
HY-954: standard light source box—for carrying out light source test to the colors of shoe making materials in order to determine the saturation and purity of the colors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following is a discussion of our program for compensating our named executive officers and director.   Our compensation committee will be responsible for determining the compensation of our named executive officers.

Our Compensation Committee will consider a variety of factors in determining compensation of executives, including their particular background and circumstances, such as their training and prior relevant work experience, their success in attracting and retaining savvy and technically proficient managers and employees, increasing our revenues, broadening our product line offerings, managing our costs and otherwise helping to lead our company through a period of rapid growth.

Stock-Based Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Historically, we have not granted equity awards as a component of compensation, and we presently do not have an equity-based incentive program.  In the future, we will likely adopt and establish an equity incentive plan pursuant to which equity awards may be granted to eligible employees, including each of our named executive officers, if our compensation committee determines that it is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders to do so.

Retirement Benefits

Currently, we do not provide any company sponsored retirement benefits to any employee, including the named executive officers.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

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.

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.

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.

The outstanding stock of Wollemi prior to the Exchange Transaction will be accounted for at their net book value and no goodwill will be recognized.

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.

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.

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.

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.

14.           Commitments and contingencies

 
a.
Capital commitment

(i)  
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had capital commitments in respect of the 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.

20.           Statutory reserve

The Company’s statutory reserve comprise of the following:-.
 
   
As of
June 30,
   
As of
December 31,
 
   
2009
   
2008
 
   
(Unaudited)
       
             
Statutory 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.

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.

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:-
 
   
Year ended December 31,

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 equipment
3 to 5 years
Buildings
30 years

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

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.

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.

Recently issued accounting 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.

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.

14.           Commitments and contingencies (cont’d)
 

 
c.
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.

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.
