ITEM I.
BUSINESS
 
History
 
Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 1, 1996. We were formed in connection with the merger acquisition of Kushi Macrobiotics Corp. (“KMC”) with American Phoenix Group, Inc. (“APGI”) in 1996. Prior to such acquisition, KMC had operated a business of marketing a line of natural foods (the “Kushi Cuisine”). This business was not successful and management determined that it would be in the shareholder’s interest for KMC to operate a different business.
 
In August 2005, we, through Kushi Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of us ("Acquisition Sub") acquired all the ownership interest in Hanxin (Cork) International Holding Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin International"), a British Virgin Islands limited liability corporation, organized in September 2004. We acquired Hanxin International in exchange for 24,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, which such shares converted into 29,530,937 shares of common stock. Subsequent to the merger and upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the former shareholders of Hanxin International own 95% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
 
Hanxin International has no other business activities other than owning 100% of Xi'An Cork Investments Consultative Management Co., Ltd. ("Xi'An"), which owns 92% of Xian Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin"), incorporated in July 2002, both Xi'An and Hanxin are People's Republic of China (PRC) corporations. Most of our operating and business activities are conducted through Hanxin.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2005,  Hanxin acquired a 75% equity interest of Cork Import and Export Co. Ltd. (“Cork I&E”), a PRC corporation that engages in cork trading businesses.
 
On July 11, 2008, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Asia Cork Inc., was merged into its parent, the Company, in order to change the name of the Company, after approval by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company is the surviving company of the merger and, except for the adoption of the new name its Certificate of Incorporation is otherwise unchanged. The wholly-owned subsidiary was formed in July 2008 and had no material assets.
 
As permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company assumed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary following the merger and now operates under the name Asia Cork Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “AKRK.OB
 
Business Overview
 
Hanxin is engaged in development, manufacture and distribution of cork products including cork wood floor, wall and decorating materials. We sell our products directly to customers in China through our own sales team, and we distribute our products to customers overseas through unrelated distributors and sales agents. The countries our products were distributed through these sales agents include India, the United States of America, Germany and Japan. Mr. Fangshe Zhang, our Chairman and a principal shareholde r who currently owns fourteen cork processing technology related patents in China, leased three of them to Hanxin for a five-year lease term ending April 16, 2011, and donated three others to Hanxin in year 2008.
 
Our objective is to utilize the cost advantages of being based in China in order to become a leading cork flooring producer. In order to achieve our objectives, we intend to, among other things, increase our sales and marketing efforts, enhance production capacity, ensure our raw material incoming source, acquire other cork manufacturing factories and other cork exporting companies in China, export our cork products to oversea countries by our own sales network, and establish our own cork plantation in the world. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve these objectives.
 
We may purchase a factory’s facilities through an unrelated agent who has been handling the negotiation for us. We have paid deposits $2,022,719 (equivalent to RMB 13,800,000) to the agent as of December 31, 2008 and $1,891,810 (equivalent to RMB 13,800,000) as of the year ended December 31, 2007. The agency agreement has no firm commitment on the purchase but it states a maximum price of RMB 50,000,000 that the Company is willing to pay for the facilities.

In order to expand our business and improve the efficiency of production, we plan to acquire one of our current raw material suppliers, Sichuan Hanxin Cork Merchandises Co. (“ Sichuan Hanxin ”), which also has cork product manufacture business. We have made a deposit of $1,465,738 (equivalent to RMB10 million) to Sichuan Hanxin with this amount to be applied against the purchase of raw materials from the supplier if the acquisition does not occur.
 
In addition, we commenced the construction of our fifth workshop in September, 2008, expecting an increase of our production capacity with the completion of construction and installation of four production line equipments in the workshop. We have completed the construction of the workshop; however, due to the adverse market conditions in the home and commercial improvement industry, we stopped purchasing new production facilities for the fifth workshop after completion of one of the four production lines as of December 31, 2008. We have not determined when the additional production lines will be completed.
 
Provided that our expansion plans above mentioned can succeed, we expect that our production capacity will increase substantially. However, as a result of adverse market conditions, we are reducing our expansion plans.
 
Products
 
Cork Flooring Planks
 
Hanxin produces seven series of cork flooring planks with over 50 different patterns, colors and granules. Cork floor accounted for 69% of our revenue in 2007, and is the main product line for Hanxin. Hanxin intends to develop additional series of product lines modeled its existing products. The special features of cork material have enabled it to be an ideal flooring material. With its elasticity, cork is a natural floor cushion, is sound proofed, comfortable to walk on and, unlike other materials, it does not get the appearance of being “worn out”. Cork flooring can also be crafted into many different designs and patterns, many of which are difficult to achieve using other raw materials. This series of products accounted for approximately 70% of our sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Cork Wallboard and Art Crafts
 
Hanxin produces 16 types of cork wallboard and three types of cork art crafts with different patterns. All these products utilize Hanxin’s special staining technology to create different colors. Hanxin’s cork art crafts include ornaments and decorations. Wallboard can also be used as decorative material.
 
Cork Granule and Sheet Roll
 
Hanxin also sells semi-finished cork products to other manufacturers which use cork granule and sheet roll as raw materials. Cork granule comes in varies sizes and is the early stage of cork material processing. Cork Sheet/Roll is a type of thin cork material, which needs advanced processing techniques and vital manufacturing requirements. It costs more than other basic materials and the customers use it as raw material of cork art crafts.
 
Marketing and Growth Strategies
 
As previously discussed, we sell our products in China through our own sales persons, local distributors and retail sellers. The overseas markets primarily are approached through unrelated overseas distributors and agents.
 
 
·
Domestic market:
 
Our domestic marketing strategies are based on our existing market channels, whereby we work with our own sales persons, domestic distributors and domestic retail sellers to create a China sales network. We currently use our Xian office as the headquarters of our sales network, and have many sales representatives throughout Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. We intend to hire more sales representatives in the two major cities: Jinan and Shenyang, within the central and northeast regions of China to attempt to increase our market reach and facilitate our day-to-day operations in 2008. Commencing from the third quarter of 2007, we began to retain the SHUTA cork company, which had an existing sales network in China, to assist us with the promotion and sales of cork flooring tile and wall title. We expect to promote our market share in China through the cooperation with the SHUTA cork company.
 
 
·
International market:

 
2

 
Previously, our products were sold internationally though unrelated national distributors and agents (those are our independent clients). Our products are currently being exported to India, the United States, Japan, and Germany by those unrelated national distributors and agents. In the near future, we expect to start our own oversea export sales network to Asian and North American markets.
 
As of December 31, 2008, none of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our sales.
 
Market Opportunities and Competition
 
Market Opportunities
 
According to a media report called “Real Estate Market Analysis & Report of China in 2007”, construction and sales of residential real estate in PRC increased during 2007 increased 5% and 24.7% respectively as compared to 2006, and it is expected that this increase will continue in 2008. The growth for demand of flooring products is directly attributed to the growth in real estate markets. The increase of the real estate industry will hopefully continue to increase the demand of wood flooring including cork flooring. We believe cork tile, the soft wood flooring which is different from other hard wood flooring, will enjoy similar or even a higher growth rate because of its distinct characteristics and multi purposes.
 
Competition
 
The increasing real estate market has resulted in an increase of various types of flooring. Based on various studies, sales of flooring have been increasing and will continue to increase during the next five years. We believe it is currently a leading manufacturer and producer of cork flooring in China, including technology, in volume of production and in total sales. We produced about 650,000 square meters of cork flooring planks and boards in 2007.
 
In term of domestic competition, we believe we have several competitive advantages over its competitors:
 
 
·
Proximity to raw material resources
 
According to a report from the website “Introduction of Cork”, the world reserves of cork resources are mainly concentrated in Mount Qinba of Shaanxi PRC, which is where our factory is located, and a minority of provinces at the same latitude which accounts for more than 65% of total bark production in PRC.
 
Advantages in Products
 
Hanxin produces high end cork product for decoration. The products have high quality and a variety of patterns. Production requires proprietary processing and manufacturing technology that creates barriers to other domestic competitors.
 
Hanxin believes that it will be able to compete on an international basis based on the cost advantages of doing business in China. Hanxin’s cost advantages arise primarily from two sources: low labor costs and competitive raw material costs. In addition, with the support of local government, Hanxin enjoys the advantages of favorable tax and other beneficial policies.
 
Production Process
 
Hanxin has designed certain production processes in order to ensure the quality of its products. As discussed previously, our Chairman and a principal shareholder of currently owns four cork processing technology related patents in China, and has licensed three of them to Hanxin.
 
Quality Control
 
3

 
We place great emphasis on the quality of its products and quality control system. In particular:
 
 
·
In March, 2005, Hanxin cork floor was approved by State plywood Quality Supervision and Test Center for formaldehyde emission, TS water immersion testing. (Certification No. Floor 2005-65/66/6768)
 
 
·
In March, 2005, Hanxin cork wallboard was approved by State plywood Quality Supervision and Test Center for formaldehyde emission testing. (Certification No. Floor 2005-64)
 
 
·
In February 2005, Hanxin cork floor passed material sound absorption testing by Acoustics Research Center from Tong Ji University
 
 
·
In October. 2003, Hanxin cork floor was approved by Xi’an Institute of Supervision & Testing on Product Quality in standard testing of GB18580, GB/T18102-2000, GB/T18103-2000 with Certification NO.G0300708.
 
 
·
In Nov. 2003, Hanxin cork wallboard was approved by Xi’an Institute of Supervision & Testing on Product Quality in standard testing of Q/HX01-2001 with Certification NO.G0300742.
 
 
·
In October 2001, Hanxin’s products and standards were certified by the Xi’an Quality Technology Supervision Bureau, the governmental agency responsible for the inspection of commodities being imported and exported to and from China
 
 
·
Currently, Hanxin is working on ISO9000: 2000 and ISO14001 certifications.
 
Employees
 
We have approximately 237 employees, and believe our relationship with our employees is good.
 
ITEM IA.
RISK FACTORS
 
In a market environment that is difficult to predict and that involves significant risks and uncertainties, many of which will be beyond the control of us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that are not currently believed to be important to you, if they materialize, also may adversely affect us.
 
RECENT ADVERSE MARKET CONDITIONS HAVE CAUSED A DECLINE IN REVENUE AND INCREASE IN OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE THAT HAVE ADVERSELY AFFECTED OUR LIQUIDITY AND RAISE DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
 
Our business has been adversely affected by a decline in revenues and difficulty in collecting outstanding accounts receivable. In addition, we had negative cash flow in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008. These events raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern unless we can collect the outstanding accounts receivable, market conditions improve, we can borrow the money either from shareholders or outside credit union, banks, or investors, and/or raise capital in the near term to (1) satisfy our current obligations, and (2) develop and market our more profitable products. We have had ongoing discussions and negotiations with a number of additional financing alternatives. However, the Company has no definitive agreements to provide funding at this time.
 
HANXIN MAY NOT BE ENTITLED TO CERTAIN BENEFITS THAT IT RECEIVES FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE AFFECT ON ITS BUSINESS.
 
Hanxin takes advantage of favorable tax rates and other beneficial governmental policies afforded to it as a result of the nature of its business. In the event that the program offered to Hanxin is amended or rescinded or Hanxin’s business no longer meets the eligibility requirements of the program, it may not be able to enjoy the benefits of these programs and as a result may have to pay higher income taxes, which may have a material adverse affect on Hanxin.
 
The Chinese government might adjust the current industrial policies and tax rates with the growth of political and economic environment in China, which may negatively impact Hanxin’s business.
 
4

 
HANXIN MUST BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY IMPROVE ITS PRODUCT AND IF IT IS UNABLE TO IMPROVE ITS PRODUCT, ITS BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERELY AFFECTED.
 
Management believes that Hanxin’s cork products enjoy technical advantages over its competitors in China. If Hanxin is unable to improve and develop its products, Hanxin may not be able to compete effectively.
 
HANXIN IS DEPENDENT ON ITS RAW MATERIALS. ANY SHORTAGES OF THE NECESSARY MATERIALS WILL HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE EFFECT ON ITS BUSINESS
 
The supply of cork raw material is the base of production. The shortfall of raw material will impair the development and production of Hanxin’s products. The supply of these raw materials can also be adversely affected by any material change in the climate or other environmental conditions, which may have a material adverse impact on the costs of raw materials and the results of operations and financial condition of Hanxin.
 
HANXIN IS DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL, AND THE LOSS OF ANY
 
KEY EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS MAY HAVE A MATERIALLY ADVERSE EFFECT ON HANXIN’S OPERATIONS.
 
Hanxin’s success will be substantially dependent on the continued services of its executive officers and other key personnel, who generally have extensive experience in the cork industry and have been employed by Hanxin for substantial periods of time. The loss of the services of any key employees, or Hanxin’s failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.
 
WE DO NOT OWN MOST OF CORK PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY RELATED PATENTS WE ARE USING AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A LICENSING AGREEMENT.
 
We are dependent on the patents licensed to use from our Chairman and principal shareholder.  He, who currently owns fourteen cork processing technology related patents in China, leased three of them to Hanxin for a five-year lease term ending April 16, 2011, and donated three others to Hanxin in year 2008.   As a result, our business activities related to exploiting these patents are dependent on the license granted to us from him. In the event that the license is terminated, such a result would have a material adverse effect on the company as it would prevent us from using them in our business and deriving revenue associated therewith.
 
DUE TO VOLATILITY, ANY QUARTER-TO-QUARTER COMPARISONS IN OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY NOT BE MEANINGFUL
 
Hanxin’s business is subject to fluctuations, which may cause its operating results to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter. This fluctuation may result in volatility or have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
CHANGES IN THE EXTENSIVE REGULATIONS TO WHICH HANXIN IS SUBJECT COULD INCREASE ITS COST OF DOING BUSINESS OR AFFECT ITS ABILITY TO GROW.
 
The governments of countries where Hanxin’s unrelated distributors and agents exports products, including, but not limited to India, the United States, Germany and Japan, may, from time to time, consider regulatory proposals relating to raw materials, market, and environmental regulation, which, if adopted, could lead to disruptions in supply and/or increases in operational costs, and hence indirectly affect Hanxin’s profitability. To the extent that Hanxin increases its product prices as a result of such changes, its sales volume and revenues may be adversely affected. Furthermore, these governments may change certain regulations or impose additional taxes or duties on certain Chinese imports from time to time. Such regulations, if effected, may have a material adverse impact on Hanxin’s operations revenue and/or profitability.

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF AN ESTABLISHED PUBLIC TRADING MARKET OF OUR SECURITIES AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ONE WILL EVER BE ESTABLISHED.
 
There can be no assurances that a market for our common stock will be established. Our common stock will be influenced by a number of factors relating to Hanxin, including:
 
 
·
the issuance of new equity securities;
 
 
·
competitive developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
 
·
variations in quarterly operating results;
 
 
·
change in financial estimates by securities analysts;
 
 
·
the depth and liquidity of the market for Company's common stock;
 
 
·
our investor perceptions and the technologies industries generally;
 
 
·
general economic and other national conditions; and
 
 
·
regulation of the OTCBB
 
CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS ,   AND DIRECTORS.
 
Our principal shareholders, officers and directors beneficially own approximately sixty percent (60%) of our Common Stock. As a result, such persons may have the ability to control us and direct our affairs and business. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing change in control of us. See “Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management.”
 
POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.
 
We may need additional financing in the future. The ultimate success of we may depend upon our ability to raise additional capital. We have not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with our modest capital.
 
OUR COMMON STOCK IS DEEMED TO BE A "PENNY STOCK," WHICH MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES DUE TO SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS.
 
Our common stock could be considered to be a "penny stock" if it meets one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not limited to the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade in it on an unsolicited basis.
 
6

 
BROKER-DEALER REQUIREMENTS MAY AFFECT TRADING AND LIQUIDITY OF OUR COMMMON STOCK WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHAREHOLDERS BEING UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
 
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account.
 
Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock." Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.  This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.
 
NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS OR PROFITABILITY.
 
There is no assurance that we will acquire a favorable business opportunity. Even if we should become involved in a business opportunity, there is no assurance that we will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of our Common Stock will be increased thereby.
 
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation and applicable Delaware Law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of us. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us which it will be unable to recoup.
 
DIRECTOR’S LIABILITY LIMITED.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability of our directors to us and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of action against our directors than otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.
 
DEPENDENCE UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS.
 
To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by our officers and directors without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an “as needed” basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event the Company considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, he may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services.
 
NO FORESEEABLE DIVIDENDS.
 
We have not paid dividends on its Common Stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

RULE 144 SALES.
 
Some  of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by present stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for more than one year may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. As a result of revisions to Rule 144 which became effective on or about April 29, 1997, there will be no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of two years. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registrations of shares of Common Stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Common Stock in any market that may develop.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
There were no unresolved comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
ITEM 2.
PROPERTIES
 
Hanxin owns one property in Xi’an called “YuLerYuan” which is for approximately 10,360.3 square meters. It was used for an entertainment space, and leased out to an unrelated party. However, in 2007, we renovated the space and built an additional student dormitory in YuLerYuan, and the constructions were completed in June 2008. Thus, the student dormitory was leased $21,590 (equivalent to RMB150,000) per month to the university located at the YuLerYuan and this agreement was extend to February 28, 2010.
 
Hanxin also leases an office space about 436 square meters in Xi’an for approximately $2,354 (equivalent to RMB16,352 included rent and maintenance fee) per month. The lease for this office space expires on December 31, 2008, and has been renewed for one more year until December 31, 2009.Hanxin also leases the right to use a parcel of land which is approximately 53,120 square meters and is used as our cork processing plant. The lease fee for this processing plant is about $1,439 (equivalent to RMB10,000) per month, and the lease had been extended to October 2047. Hanxin had built a fifth removable workshop on the leased land since year 2007, and has completed the construction of the workshop in third quarter year 2008. Commencing in October 2008, Hanxin started to install production line facilities in the fifth workshop. Due to the adverse market conditions in the home and commercial improvement industry, we stopped purchasing new production facilities for the fifth workshop after completion of one of the four production lines as of December 31, 2008. We have not determined when the additional production lines will be completed.
 
If our funds and cash inflow available, we may also complete the acquisition of a cork manufacturing enterprise in Sichuan District of PRC in year 2009.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including footnotes.
 
Overview
 
We, through its subsidiaries, engage in developing, manufacturing and marketing of cork wood floor, wall and decorating materials.
 
Hanxin is a manufacturing company based in China, which produces cork-building material sold under the Hanxin brand name. Approximately 75% of Hanxin's products sold in year 2008 were to customers in China by our own sales persons, and domestic distributors and agents, with the remaining sales being made to customers in India, the United States, Germany and Japan through unrelated national distributors and agents. Our Chairman and a principal shareholder, who currently own fourteen cork processing technology related patents in China, leased three of them to Hanxin for a five-year lease term ending April 16, 2011, and donated three others to Hanxin in year 2008.
 
Foreign Exchange Considerations
 
Even though we are a U.S. company, because all of our operations are located in the PRC, we face certain risks associated with doing business in that country. These risks include risks associated with the ongoing transition from state business ownership to privatization, operating in a cash-based economy, dealing with inconsistent government policies, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers, challenges in staffing and managing operations in a communist country, differences in technology standards, employment laws and business practices, longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable, changes in currency exchange rates and currency exchange controls. We are unable to control the vast majority of these risks associated both with our operations and the country in which they are located and these risks could result in significant declines in our revenues.
 
Because revenues from our operations in the PRC accounted for 100% of our consolidated net revenues, how we report net revenues from our PRC-based operations is of particular importance to understanding our financial statements. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," and are included in determining comprehensive net income or loss. For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S. dollars. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income or loss.
 
10

The functional currency of our Chinese subsidiaries is the Chinese RMB, the local currency. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material during the periods presented. Until 1994, the RMB experienced a gradual but significant devaluation against most major currencies, including U.S. dollars, and there was a significant devaluation of the RMB on January 1, 1994 in connection with the replacement of the dual exchange rate system with a unified managed floating rate foreign exchange system. Since 1994, the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. Dollar has remained stable and has appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. Countries, including the United States, have argued that the RMB is artificially undervalued due to China's current monetary policies and have pressured China to allow the RMB to float freely in world markets.
 
On July 21, 2005, the PRC reported that it would have its currency pegged to a basket of currencies rather than just tied to a fixed exchange rate to the dollar. It also increased the value of its currency 2% higher against the dollar, effective immediately. If any devaluation of the RMB were to occur in the future, returns on our operations in China, which are expected to be in the form of RMB, will be negatively affected upon conversion to U.S. dollars. Although we attempt to have most future payments, mainly repayments of loans and capital contributions, denominated in U.S. dollars, if any increase in the value of the RMB were to occur in the future, our product sales in China and in other countries may be negatively affected.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.
 
We record property and equipment at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which are from 1 to 35 years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
 
Our revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped, title passes, the sales price to the customer is fixed and collectability is reasonably assured. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via purchase order from customer, product delivery is evidenced by warehouse shipping log as well as bill of lading from the trucking company and no product return is allowed except defective or damaged products, the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of purchase order, there is no separate sales rebate, discounts, and volume incentives.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
 
Revenues
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, our revenues were $21,378,041 as compared to $16,050,938 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $5,327,103 or approximately 33.19%. The reason for the increase is primarily due to our selling efforts, increased sales of our major finished goods (wood materials, floors, and boards) increased as compared to the sales quantities in year 2007. Also, we increased our unit sales prices by 20% commencing from October 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2008, our revenues from wood materials, boards, and floor sales were $1,005,315, 103,676, and $2,532,052 respectively more than the revenue from sales of those items during the year ended December 31, 2007. Even though we had decreased sales on the tree skin raw material for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
However, adverse market conditions for home and commercial renovation has recently significantly adversely affected revenues. Our revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 declined to $3,536,742, compared to $8,958.570 for the third quarter, $6,366,384 for the second quarter and $2,516,345 for the traditionally slow first quarter. Fourth quarter revenues for 2008 were also below third and fourth quarter revenues for 2007.  While we have successfully grown our revenues over recent years, we cannot predict when the industry will recover.
 
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, cost of sales amounted to $13,937,361 or 65.19% of net revenues as compared to cost of sales of $10,990,041 or 68.47% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, a percentage decrease of 3.28%. The decrease was primarily due to reduction of waste of materials resulting in more efficient work from repaired and improved machinery and equipment used by us. Accordingly, gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $2,379,783 to $7,440,680 from $5,060,897 in the year ended December 31, 2007. We are currently working with a vendor of raw materials to secure future price by proposing long term supplier contracts.
 
Operating Expenses
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, total operating expenses were $3,470,991 as compared to $2,467,341 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $ 1,003,650 or 40.68% .
 
Included in this increase were:
 
* For the year ended December 31, 2008, selling expenses amounted to $2,711,764 as compared to $1,954,225 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $757,539 or 38.76%. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we experienced a significant increase in sales commission expenses of $749,433 and in freight expenses of $44,505 with our increased revenue.
 
* For the year ended December 31, 2008, general and administrative expenses were $759,227 as compared to $513,116 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $ 246,111 or 47.96% . The increase in general and administrative costs was primarily attributable to increases in consulting fees, advisory fees, legal fees and professional fee s in connection with our SEC filing, name change, and USA capital market fund raising and public relationship advisory charges in the current year.
 
Other Income (Expense)
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, other expense amounted to $360,378 as compared to other expense of $324,409 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Other (expense) income, net for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were primarily related to net rental income $159,495 and $78,226 respectively from our leasing entertainment facility. These rental net incomes had been offset by the franchise taxes $10,116 and $55,000 accrued in the year 2008 and 2007, respectively. Also, this rental income was primarily offset by the donation made by the Company during the second quarter of 2008 in the amount of $72,975 in connection with the earthquake in Sichuan PRC.
 
12

For the year ended December 31, 2008, net interest expense was $275,105 as compared to net interest expense of $6,270 for the year ended December 31, 2007 , an increase of $268,835 . This was attributable to the Company acquired a convertible note for USA investors in amount of $700,000 (approximately RMB4.8 million) in June 2008 with 18% annual rate and mature date due in June 2009 and offered common stocks purchase warrant with convertible note . Thus, the Company had incurred more interest expense in the current year as compared to year 2007.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred less loss on disposition of fix assets than 2007 by $182,763 or (53.42%). Since the loss incurred in year 2008 was not deductible for the tax purpose in P.R. China, the Company had recognized deferred income taxes assets for the time difference.
 
Income Taxes
 
Net income taxes expenses increased by $ 248,582 to $ 597,453 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $348,871 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was due to an increase in net income before income taxes in year 2008, although it had been offset with deferred income taxes benefits $23,905 in year 2008.
 
Minority Interest
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we reported a minority interest in income of subsidiary of $279,704 as compared to $158,235 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The minority interests income of subsidiaries were attributable to Hanxin and Cork I&E, which we allocated to the minority stockholders, and reduced our net income.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Operating working capital (cash plus accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable and accrued expenses) increased by $3,579,466 from $2,760,789 as of December 31, 2007 to $6,340,255 as of December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to a increase in accounts receivable of $2,526,233 from $2,429,772 at December 31, 2007 to $4,956,005 at December 31, 2008, a increase in inventory of $1,835,871 from $920,140 at December 31, 2007 to $2,756,011 at December 31, 2008, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $438,847 from $956,519 at December 31, 2007 to $1,395,366 at December 31, 2008. Those increases had been offset by the cash and equivalents decreased by $343,791 from $367,396 as of December 31, 2007 to $23,605 as of December 31, 2008. The net increase in working capital was primarily due to increased sales from our customers and increased inventories to assure manufacture during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Cash used in operating activities was ($364,209) for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $2,074,461 provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in cash used in operating activities was a result of an increase of net income, accounts receivable, and inventories for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $1,750,976 to $302,732 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $2,053,708 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This change was primarily due to the payments for land used right purchase, deposit for acquisition, and construction in progress for amounts of $1,370,877, $1,370,877, and $1,253,703 in year 2007, these amounts had been offset by the proceeds from repayment of unrelated parties in amount of $1,922,066 in year 2007.
 
Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $568,084 net cash provided as compared to ($388,956) net cash used in for the year ended December 31, 2007. This change was primarily attributable to acquire a convertible note in amount $700,000 from USA investor s in June, 2008.
 
In 2007, we entered into an agreement to purchase land use right in Shaanxi BaoJi District P.R. China from Shaanxi Shuta Wood Products Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi Shuta”), one of our most important sales distributors in Shaanxi Province P.R. China. We terminated the land purchase agreement on August 19, 2008 and the deposits were refunded to us in August and September 2008. Shaanxi Shuta had opened cork retail chain stores exclusively selling our products but we could not achieve its 500,000 square meters floor and board production plan in year 2008 and had delayed many purchase orders from Shaanxi Shuta. As a result, Shaanxi Shuta had to readjust its year 2008 sales strategies and incurred heavy losses. In order to avoid losing a very important distribution channel, and to assist Shaanxi Shuta to recover, we loaned RMB10 million (equivalent to $1,465,738) to the Shaanxi Shuta for a one year term starting from October 27, 2008. This loan does not bear interest and is unsecured.
 
13

On June 4 and June 12, 2008, the Company consummated an offering of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes mature one (1) year from the date of issuance and bear interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Upon the successful closing of an equity or convertible debt financing for a minimum of $2,000,000 ("Financing"), the promissory notes will be convertible into shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the price per share of Common Stock sold in the Financing. If a Financing is not achieved within the one year term of the promissory notes, each investor has the option to be paid the principal and interest due under the promissory note or convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.228 per share.
 
The warrants are exercisable at any time after the consummation of the Financing through the fourth anniversary of the consummation of the Financing (the "Financing Expiration Date"). Each holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to the initial principal amount of such investor's promissory note DIVIDED BY the lowest cash purchase price paid for the Company's common stock (or the conversion price or exercise price if the Financing consists of convertible securities or warrants, respectively) in the Financing (the "Financing Based Conversion Price") at an exercise price equal to the Financing Based Conversion Price. If the Financing did not occur within 12 months of the issuance of the warrant, the warrant is exercisable from and after such date and through the fourth anniversary of the issuance date of the warrant. In such event, the holder is entitled to purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the initial principal amount of the promissory note DIVIDED BY $0.228 at an exercise price equal to $0.228, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the warrant. The interest payable regarding the convertible notes has been accrued and recorded as of December 31, 2008. The Company’s obligations under the promissory notes are secured by shares of common stock pledged by Mr. Pengcheng Chen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and by Mr. Zhang
 
Our business has been adversely affected by a decline in revenues and difficulty in collecting outstanding accounts receivable. During the fourth quarter of 2008, our accounts receivable outstanding for over half year increased promptly to approximately amounts of $1,551,836 (equivalent to RMB10,587,400) and the cash and equivalents had dropped down significantly to $23,605 as of December 31, 2008. In addition, we had negative cash flow in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008. These events raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern unless we can collect the outstanding accounts receivable, market conditions improve, we can borrow the money either from shareholders or outside credit union, banks, or investors, and/or raise capital in the near term to (1) satisfy our current obligations, and (2) develop and market our more profitable products.
 
The Company presently has ongoing discussions and negotiations with a number of additional financing alternatives. However, the Company has no definitive agreements to provide funding at this time.
 
OPERATING RISK
 
(a) Country risk
 
Our revenues are mainly derived from the sale of wood floors, boards, and basis materials products in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). We expect to expand our sales to the countries outside the PRC by our own sales network, however, there are no assurances that we will be able to achieve such an expansion successfully in the future. Therefore, a downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC and the countries that our products are sold by unrelated distributor or agents could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
 
(b) Product risk
 
In addition to competing with other Chinese companies, we could have to compete with larger US and European companies who have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, research and development and the ability to attract more qualified personnel if access is allowed into the PRC market. If U.S. and European companies do gain access to the PRC markets, they may be able to offer products at a lower price. There can be no assurance that we will remain competitive should this occur.
 
(c) Exchange risk
 
We can not guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady, therefore there is a possibility that we could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Chinese Renminbi converted to US dollars on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.
 
14

 
(d) Political risk
 
Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations are changed by the PRC government, our ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.
 
(e) Key personnel risk
 
Our future success depends on the continued services of executive management in China. The loss of any of their services would be detrimental to us and could have an adverse effect on business development. We do not currently maintain key-man insurance on their lives. Future success is also dependent on the ability to identify, hire, train and retain other qualified managerial and other employees. Competition for these individuals is intense and increasing.
 
(f) Performance of subsidiaries risk
 
All of our revenues are derived via the operations of our Chinese subsidiaries. Economic, governmental, political, industry and internal company factors outside of our control affect each of the subsidiaries. If the subsidiaries do not succeed, the value of the assets and the price of our common stock could decline. Some of the material risks relating to the partner companies include the fact that the subsidiaries are located in China and have specific risks associated with that and the intensifying competition for our products and services and those of the subsidiaries.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Federal Income Tax Aspects of Investment in us
 
The discussion contained herein has been prepared by us and is based on existing law as contained in the Code, amended United States Treasury Regulations (“Treasury Regulations”), administrative rulings and court decisions as of the date of this Registration Statement. No assurance can be given that future legislative enactments, administrative rulings or court decisions will not modify the legal basis for statements contained in this discussion. Any such development may be applied retroactively to transactions completed prior to the date thereof, and could contain provisions having an adverse effect upon us and the holders of the Common Stock. In addition, several of the issues dealt with in this summary are the subject of proposed and temporary Treasury Regulations. No assurance can be given that these regulations will be finally adopted in their present form.
 
Basis in Common Stock
 
The tax basis that a Shareholder will have in his Common Stock will equal his cost in acquiring his Common Stock. If a Shareholder acquires Common Stock at different times or at different prices, he must maintain records of those transactions so that he can accurately report gain or loss realized upon disposition of the Common Stock.
 
Dividends on Common Stock
 
Distributions made by us with respect to the Common Stock will be characterized as dividends that are taxable as ordinary income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (“earnings and profits”), if any, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution on the Common Stock exceeds the holder’s allocable share of our earnings and profits, such distribution will be treated first as a return of capital that will reduce the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Common Stock, and then as taxable gain to the extent the distribution exceeds the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Common Stock. The gain will generally be taxed as a long-term capital gain if the holder’s holding period for the Common Stock is more than one year.
 
15

The availability of earnings and profits in future years will depend on future profits and losses which cannot be accurately predicted. Thus, there can be no assurance that all or any portion of a distribution on the Common Stock will be characterized as a dividend for general income tax purposes. Corporate shareholders will not be entitled to claim the dividends received deduction with respect to distributions that do not qualify as dividends. See the discussion regarding the dividends received deduction below.
 
Redemption of Common Stock
 
We do not have the right to redeem any Common Stock. However, any redemption of Common Stock, with the consent of the holder, will be a taxable event to the redeemed holder.
 
We do not believe that the Common Stock will be treated as debt for federal income tax purposes. However, in the event that the Common Stock is treated as debt for federal tax purposes, a holder generally will recognize gain or loss upon the redemption of the Common Stock measured by the difference between the amount of cash or the fair market value of property received and the holder’s tax basis in the redeemed Common Stock. To the extent the cash or property received are attributable to accrued interest, the holder may recognize ordinary income rather than capital gain. Characterization of the Common Stock as debt would also cause a variety of other tax implications, some of which may be detrimental to either the holders, us, or both (including, for example, original issue discount treatment to the Investors). Potential Investors should consult their tax advisors as to the various ramifications of debt characterization for federal income tax purposes.
 
Other Disposition of the Common Stock
 
Upon the sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock, to or with a person other than us, a holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale or exchange and the holder’s adjusted basis in such stock. Any capital gain or loss recognized will generally be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if the holder held such stock for more than one year. For this purpose, the period for which the Common Stock was held would be included in the holding period of the Common Stock received upon a conversion.
 
State, Local and Foreign Taxes
 
In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above, prospective investors should consider potential state, local and foreign tax consequences of an investment in the Common Stock.
 
ERISA Considerations for Tax-Exempt Investors/Shareholders
 
General Fiduciary Requirements
 
Title I of ERISA includes provisions governing the responsibility of fiduciaries to their Qualified Plans. Qualified Plans must be administered according to these rules. Keogh plans that cover only partners of a partnership or self-employed owners of a business are not subject to the fiduciary duty rules of ERISA, but are subject to the prohibited transaction rules of the Code.
 
Under ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or control respecting the management or disposition of the assets of a Qualified Plan is considered to be a fiduciary of such Qualified Plan (subject to certain exceptions not here relevant).
 
ERISA Section 404(a)(1) requires a fiduciary of a Qualified Plan to “discharge his duties with respect to a plan solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries and (A) for the exclusive purpose of: (i) providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries, and (ii) defraying reasonable expenses of administering the plan; (B) with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims; (C) by diversifying the investments of a plan so as to minimize the risk of large losses, unless under the circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so; and (D) in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the plan.” Fiduciaries who breach the duties that ERISA imposes may suffer a wide variety of legal and equitable remedies, including (i) the requirement to restore qualified plan losses and to pay over any fiduciary’s profits to the qualified plan; (ii) removal as fiduciary of the qualified plan; and (iii) liability for excise taxes that Section 4975 of the Code imposes

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
                   
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008, based on those criteria. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission

ITEM 11.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
 
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
 
Our boards of directors have historically determined the compensation to be paid to our executive officers based on our financial and operating performance and prospects, and contributions made by the officers’ to our success. Each of the named officers will be measured by a series of performance criteria by the board of directors, on a yearly basis. Such criteria will be based on certain objective parameters such as job characteristics, required professionalism, management skills, interpersonal skills, related experience, personal performance and overall corporate performance.
 
Our board of directors have not adopted or established a formal policy or procedure for determining the amount of compensation paid to our executive officers. As our executive leadership and board of directors grow, our board of directors may decide to form a compensation committee charged with the oversight of executive compensation plans, policies and programs.
 
We provide our executive officers solely with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year. Our policy of compensating our executives with a cash salary has served us well. To date, we have not believed it necessary to provide our executives discretionary bonuses, equity incentives, or other benefits in order for us to continue to be successful. However, as the Company grows and the operations become more complex, the Board of Directors may deem it in the best interest of the Company to provide such additional compensation to existing executives and in order to attract new executives.

Management has no plans to issue any additional securities to management, promoters or their affiliates or associates and will do so only if such issuance is in the best interests of shareholders of us and complies with all applicable federal and state securities rules and regulations.
 
LONG TERM EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
 
On September 30, 2005, shareholders owning a majority of our Common Stock approved, adopted and ratified our Long Term Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) in order to optimize our profitability and growth through incentives which are consistent with our goals and which link the interests of select employees, directors and consultants with those of our shareholders. We believe that the Plan also promotes teamwork and provides employees, directors and consultants with an incentive to strive for excellence. The Plan is described as follows:
 
The Plan provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, performance shares and other cash or share-based awards. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued in connection with awards under the Plan is 3,500,000. In the event of any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure that affects our common stock, an adjustment may be made to the (a) maximum number of shares available for grants under the Plan and/or kind of shares that may be delivered under the Plan, (b) the individual award limits under the Plan and (c) number, kind and/or price of shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the Plan, by our Board of Directors of, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. Shares of stock covered by an award under the Plan that is cancelled, expired, forfeited or settled in cash will again be available for issuance in connection with future grants of awards under the Plan. As of the date of this prospectus, no awards have been made under the Plan.
 
21

Our Board of Directors has broad authority to administer the Plan, including the authority to determine when and to whom awards will be made, determine the type and size of awards, determine the terms and conditions of awards, construe and interpret the Plan and award agreements, establish rates and resolutions for the Plan's administration, and amend outstanding awards. Generally, the Plan is open to directors, employees and consultants who are selected by the Board of Directors.
 
Stock Options. Options granted under the Plan may be "incentive stock options," as defined in Section 422 of the Code, or "nonqualified stock options" which are stock options that do not qualify as incentive stock options. An incentive stock option must expire within ten years from the date it is granted (five years in the case of options granted to holders of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock and the stock of our subsidiaries). The exercise price of an incentive stock option must be at least equal to the fair market value on the date such incentive stock option is granted (110% of fair market value in the case of options granted to holders of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock). The exercise price of a non-qualified stock option must be at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date such option is granted. Subject to such restrictions as the Compensation Committee may impose, the exercise price of options granted under the Plan may be paid (i) in cash or its equivalent, (ii) by delivery, or attesting to the ownership, of previously-acquired shares of our common stock, (iii) pursuant to a cashless exercise program, (iv) by such other methods as the compensation committee may permit or (v) by any combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). As of the date of this prospectus, no non-qualified stock options had been granted under the Plan.
 
SARs. The Board of Directors may grant a SAR in connection with all or any portion of an option grant as well as independent of any option grant. A SAR entitles the participant to receive the amount by which the fair market value of a specified number of shares on the exercise dates exceeds an exercise price established by the committee. The excess amount will be payable in common stock, in cash, or in a combination of shares and cash.
 
Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares. These awards may be granted in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors. Holders of restricted stock may generally exercise full voting rights and may be credited with regular dividends paid with respect to the underlying shares while they are so held; however, stock dividends or other non-cash distributions made with respect to restricted stock awards generally will be subject to the same restrictions as the restricted stock award. Generally, after the last day of the applicable period of restriction, the shares become freely transferable.
 
Restricted stock units and performance shares are conditional grants of a right to receive a specified number of shares of common stock or an equivalent amount of cash (or a combination of shares and cash) if certain conditions are met. Each restricted stock unit and performance share must have an initial value equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Restricted stock units may have conditions relating to continued service or employment only or continued employment or service and attainment of performance goals, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Performance shares may be granted based on a performance period of one or more years or other periods, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
 
The Board of Directors must determine the performance objectives for grants of performance shares and the range of the number of shares to be paid to an employee if the relevant measure of performance is met within the performance period. Recipients of restricted stock units and performance shares may receive dividend equivalents with respect to their awards.
 
Other Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant other awards such as deferred share, share or cash awards based on attainment of performance or other goals or shares in lieu of cash under other incentive or bonus programs. Payment under such awards may be made in such manner and at such times as the Board of Directors may determine.
 
22

Except as otherwise provided in a participant's award agreement, upon the occurrence of a change in control of our company, all outstanding stock options and SARs become immediately exercisable, any restriction imposed on restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or other awards will lapse, and any performance shares or other awards with performance-related vesting conditions will be deemed earned at the target level (or if no target level is specified, the maximum level). Unless a participant's award agreement provides otherwise, if a participant's employment or service terminates following a change in control, any of the participant's stock options or SARs that were outstanding on the date of the change in control and that were vested as of the date of termination of employment or service will remain exercisable for a period ending not before the earlier of the first anniversary of the termination of the participant's employment or service or the expiration of the stated term of the award.
 
The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time by our Board of Directors, provided that no amendment that requires shareholder approval in order for the Plan to comply with any applicable stock exchange listing standards or securities laws will be effective unless the requisite shareholder approval is obtained, and no amendment or termination may be made without approval of a participant to the extent the amendment or termination materially adversely affects the participant's outstanding awards.
 
As of the date hereof, no options, SARS, restricted stock or other awards have been issued under the Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 
Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008. The management of Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) and Subsidiaries is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-years period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative cash flow in operating activities and difficulty in collecting outstanding accounts receivable, and lacks of cash and equivalents to satisfy its current obligations. These events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Asia Cork Inc. (f/k/a Hankersen International Corp.) (the "Company") was incorporated on August 1, 1996, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Until August 2005, the Company had no operations and the sole purpose of the Company was to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity.
 
On July 11, 2008, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Asia Cork Inc., was merged into its parent, the Company, in order to change the name of the Company, after approval by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company is the surviving company of the merger and, except for the adoption of the new name its Certificate of Incorporation is otherwise unchanged. The wholly-owned subsidiary was formed in July 2008 and had no material assets.
 
As permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company assumed the name of its wholly owned subsidiary following the merger and now operates under the name Asia Cork Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “AKRK.OB
 
In August 2005, the Company, through Kushi Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub") acquired all the ownership interest in Hanxin (Cork) International Holding Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin International"), a British Virgin Islands limited liability corporation, organized in September 2004. The Company acquired Hanxin International in exchange for shares of common stock and shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company. The capitalizations are described in further detail in Note 18 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Subsequent to the merger and upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the former shareholders of Hanxin International will own 95% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the ownership interests of the former shareholders of Hanxin International, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Hanxin International deemed the accounting acquirer and Kushi deemed the accounting acquiree. Historical information of the surviving company is that of Hanxin International.
 
Hanxin International has no other business activities but owns 100% of Xi'An Cork Investments Consultative Management Co., Ltd. ("Xi'An"), which owns 92% of Xian Hanxin Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hanxin"), incorporated in July 2002, both Xi'An and Hanxin are People's Republic of China (“PRC”) corporations. Most of the Company’s activities are conducted through Hanxin.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2005, Hanxin acquired 75% equity interest of Cork Import and Export Co. Ltd. (“Cork I&E”), a PRC corporation engages in cork trading businesses.
 
Hanxin is engaged in developing, manufacturing and marketing of cork wood floor, wall and decorating materials. Its products are sold to customers in China and oversea customers in India, the United States of America, Germany and Japan through the distributors or agents.

NEGATIVE CASH FLOW IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES DURING TRANSACTION PERIOD AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
 
During the fourth quarter of 2008, due to adverse market conditions for home and commercial renovation and decoration, the Company’s accounts receivable outstanding for over half year increased promptly to the amounts of $ 1,551,836 (equivalent to RMB 10,587,400) and the cash and equivalents had dropped down significantly to $23,605 as of December 31, 2008. In addition, the Company had negative cash flow in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008. These events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future success is dependent upon its ability to collect the outstanding accounts receivable, to borrow the money either from shareholders or outside credit union, banks, or investors, and to raise capital in the near term to (1) satisfy its current obligations, and (2) the successful wide scale development and marketing of its high profit products.

Principle of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of any variable interest entities in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary and such entities are required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Asia Cork Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the asset's useful lives. Upon sale or retirement of plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its other long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred pursuant to SFAS No. 144. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying values of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, the carrying value of such assets is reduced to fair value through a charge to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operation.
 
Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets include land use right. With the adoption of SFAS No. 142, intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis. The land use right is being amortized over its estimated life of 40 years. Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Costs related to internally develop intangible assets are expensed as incurred.
 
Comprehensive income (loss)
 
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, established standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, which is invested in money market accounts, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The Company considers the book value of these instruments to be indicative of their respective fair value. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions to limit its exposure. Almost all of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in their respective areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

Fair value of financial instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, inventories, advances to suppliers, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loan payable, taxes payable, and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company's loans payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management's best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements on December 31, 2008.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company and its U. S. subsidiary will file consolidated federal income taxes return and state franchise tax annual report individually. The Company's PRC subsidiaries file income tax returns under the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and local income tax laws. The Company's BVI subsidiary is exempt from income taxes.
 
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies of the Company's subsidiaries are local currencies, primarily the Chinese Renminbi. The financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income or loss.
 
Basic and diluted net income per share
 
The Company accounts for net income per common share in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”).  SFAS 128 requires the disclosure of the potential dilution effect of exercising or converting securities or other contracts involving the issuance of common stock. Basic net income per share is determined based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income per share is determined based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised into common stock.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.  The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received.  Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.

Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Segment Reporting
 
The Company operates and manages its business as a single operating segment. 
 
New accounting pronouncements
 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 indicates the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing SFAS 162 to achieve that result. SFAS 162 also identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new disclosure requirements under SFAS 162.
 
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.161,”Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 seeks to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures regarding the impact on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. To achieve this increased transparency, SFAS 161 requires (1) the disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and gains and losses in a tabular format;(2) the disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related; and (3)cross-referencing within the footnotes. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends)., with early application encouraged. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new disclosure requirements under SFAS 161.
 
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” which clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. In addition, it requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, and financial disclosure.

LOAN TO UNRELATED PARTY

There were acquisition deposits RMB10 million prepared to purchase the land use right in Shaanxi BaoJi District P.R. China from Shaanxi Shuta Wood Products Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi Shuta”), one of Hanxin’s major sales distributors in Shaanxi Province P.R. China. For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, Shaanxi Shuta had purchased $705,813 (equivalent RMB4,903,704) and $302,203 (equivalent to RMB2,298,014) merchandises from Hanxin, respectively. However, Hanxin terminated the land purchase agreement on August 19, 2008. Pursuant to the Cancellation Agreement, the deposits had been refunded back to Hanxin in August and September 2008.
 
In year 2008, Shaanxi Shuta opened cork retail chain stores exclusively selling Hanxin’s products but Hanxin could not achieve its 500,000 square meters floor and board production plan in year 2008 and had delayed many purchase orders from Shaanxi Shuta; thus Shaanxi Shuta had to readjust its year 2008 sales strategies and incurred heavy losses. In order to avoid losing a very important distribution channel and to assist Shaanxi Shuta to recover from this situation, Hanxin had loaned RMB10 million (equivalent to $1,465,738) to the Shaanxi Shuta for one year term starting from October 27, 2008. This loan is no interest bearing and unsecure.

CONVERTIBLE NOTE AND WARRANTS
         
On June 4 and June 12, 2008, the Company consummated an offering of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000. The notes mature one (1) year from the date of issuance and bear interest at an annual rate of 18%, payable at maturity in USD. Upon the successful closing of an equity or convertible debt financing for a minimum of $2,000,000 ("Financing"), the promissory notes will be convertible into shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the price per share of Common Stock sold in the Financing. If a Financing is not achieved within the one year term of the promissory notes, each investor has the option to be paid the principal and interest due under the promissory note or convert the note into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.228 per share.
