REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTER PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gold Industry Limited
(the “Company”) as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated
statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Gold Industry Limited’s management is responsible
for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides 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 Gold Industry Limited as of
March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Gold
Industry Limited (“Gold Industry” or the “Company”) was incorporated on
September 11, 2009, under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company has no
substantive operations of its own except for its 100% holding of Gold Holy
Industry Limited (“Gold Holy”), which was incorporated on September 29, 2009,
under the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In turn, Gold Holy
owns 100% of Chongqing Ran Ji Industry Co., Ltd. (“Chongqing Ran Ji”), a company
established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the
“PRC”). Through Chongqing Ran Ji, the Company controls Chongqing Foguang Tourism
Development (Group) Co., Ltd. (“Chongqing Foguang”), a private provider of
cemetery plots and related services in and around Chongqing, China.
Chongqing
Ran Ji was established in the PRC on December 15, 2009 as a wholly foreign owned
enterprise (“WFOE”), with registered capital of $25,000,000, with the first
$3,000,000 to be contributed by March 20, 2010, and the balance within two
years. Chongqing Ran Ji has no substantive operations of its own except for
entering into certain exclusive agreements with Chongqing Foguang and performing
its obligations thereunder.
Chongqing
Foguang, a PRC limited liability company established on October 10, 2002 with
registered capital of 100,000,000 Renminbi (“RMB”), is engaged in selling death
care products and services, and holds the licenses and approvals necessary to
operate its business in China.
PRC law
currently has limits on foreign ownership of companies. To comply with these
foreign ownership restrictions, on December 15, 2009, Chongqing Ran Ji entered
into following exclusive agreements with Chongqing Foguang and its owners
(collectively the “Contractual Arrangements”):
(1) Consulting Services
Agreement, through which Chongqing Ran Ji has the right to advise,
consult, manage and operate Chongqing Foguang, and collect and own all of its
net profits;
(2) Operating Agreement,
through which Chongqing Ran Ji has the right to recommend director candidates
and appoint the senior executives of Chongqing Foguang, approve any transactions
that may materially affect the assets, liabilities, rights or operations of
Chongqing Foguang, and guarantee the contractual performance by Chongqing
Foguang of any agreements with third parties, in exchange for a pledge by
Chongqing Foguang of its accounts receivable and assets;
(3) Proxy Agreement,
under which the owners of Chongqing Foguang have vested their collective voting
control over Chongqing Foguang to Chongqing Ran Ji and will only transfer their
respective equity interests in Chongqing Foguang to Chongqing Ran Ji or its
designee(s);
(4) Option Agreement,
under which the owners of Chongqing Foguang have granted Chongqing Ran Ji the
irrevocable right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in
Chongqing Foguang; and
(5) Equity Pledge
Agreement, under which the owners of Chongqing Foguang have pledged all
of their rights, titles and interests in Chongqing Foguang to Chongqing Ran Ji
to guarantee the performance of their obligations under the Consulting Services
Agreement.
As a
result of these Contractual Arrangements, which obligates Chongqing Ran Ji to
absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Chongqing Foguang’s activities and
enable Chongqing Ran Ji to receive a majority of its expected residual returns,
the Company believes that Chongqing Foguang is a Variable Interest Entity
(“VIE”) under FASB Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”, because the owners
of Chongqing Foguang do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest and the Company should be considered the primary beneficiary of
Chongqing Foguang. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Chongqing Foguang’s
results, assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This
summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the
understanding of the consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements and notes are presentations of the Company’s
management, which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
The reporting

The
Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the
Company and the following subsidiaries and VIE:

Basis of
presentation
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America. The Company’s functional currency is the
Chinese Renminbi (“CNY” or “RMB”), however, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been re-measured and presented in United States
Dollars ($).
Consolidation of variable
interest entities
In
accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities ("FIN 46R"), variable interest entities (VIEs) are generally entities
that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional
financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate
decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be
evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the
VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial
reporting purposes.
The
Company has concluded that Chongqing Foguang is a VIE and that the Company’s
indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Chongqing Ran Ji, absorbs a majority of the
risk of loss from the activities of Chongqing Foguang, and enable the Company to
receive a majority of its expected residual returns. Accordingly, the Company
accounts for Chongqing Foguang as a VIE.
Because
the Company and Chongqing Foguang are under common control, the initial
measurement of the assets and liabilities of Chongqing for the purpose of
consolidation by the Company is at book value. The Company has had no
other business activities except for the entering into of the exclusive
agreements with Chongqing Ran Ji and its shareholders. For the
purpose of presenting the financial statements on a consistent basis, the
consolidated financial statements are prepared as if the Company had been in
existence since April 1, 2007 and throughout each of the two-year period ended
March 31, 2009.
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements for the
company, its subsidiary and the variable interest entity, Chongqing
Foguang. All significant inter-company transactions and balances
between the Company, its subsidiary and the variable interest entity are
eliminated upon consolidation.

Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March

Use of
estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant
estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include
the fair value of financial instruments, the useful lives of and impairment for
property and equipment, estimates of intangible assets, and accruals for taxes
due. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial
instruments
The
Company’s fair value of financial instruments, including cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short term notes payable
approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these
instruments.
Fair Value
Measurements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also
established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and
expands disclosures about fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 applies to
other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 was effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. However, a FASB Staff Position issued in
February 2008, delayed the effectiveness of SFAS No. 157 for one year,
but only as applied to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The
adoption of SFAS No. 157 on April 1, 2008 did not have an impact on
the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The
Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as it relates to
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on April 1, 2009. The
adoption is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
The
hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset
or liability as of the measurement date. The classification of fair value
measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that
is significant to the measurement. The three levels are defined as
follows:
•
|
Level
1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
||
•
|
Level
2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the financial instrument.
|
||
•
|
Level
3 — Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to
the fair value measurement.
|
The
Company’s financial assets as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 consist of cash and
cash equivalents.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159
permits companies to choose to measure at fair value certain financial
instruments and other items that are not currently required to be measured at
fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on April 1,
2008 and elected not to measure any additional financial instruments or other
items at fair value.
Cash and cash
equivalents
For the
purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentrations of credit
risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company
extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition,
generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally
dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company periodically
reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful
accounts. The
Company maintains the majority of its cash at PRC government owned banks and has
some cash on hand. The total cash balances in the state-owned banks
are not insured by the banks within the People’s Republic of
China. The Company has not experienced any losses on such
accounts.
As the
Company's principal operations are conducted in the PRC, the Company is subject
to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with
companies in the US. These risks include, among others, risks associated with
the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange
limitations encountered in the PRC. The Company's results of operations may be
adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC,
and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations,
among other things.
In
addition, all of the Company's transactions undertaken in the PRC are
denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY), which must be converted into other
currencies before remittance out of the PRC may be considered. Both the
conversion of CNY into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign
currencies abroad require the approval of the PRC government.
Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for
doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly
basis. Management’s judgment and estimates are made in connection with
establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts. Specifically, the Company
analyzes the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts,
customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and
changes in the customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer
concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or
weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the
collectability of receivables and the Company’s operating results. If the
financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in
an impairment of their ability to make payments, the Company will write off 100%

Property and

Property
and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is
expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When
assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in
income in the year of disposition. Depreciation and amortization are
computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives
of the related assets, which range from five to thirty years, and are as
follows:

Long-lived
asset
Long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to
recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business
conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even
operating results over an extended period. The Company’s management
assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the
depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives
can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of
long-lived asset impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is
charged to operations in the period in which long lived assets impairment is
determined by management. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s management
believes there was no impairment of its long lived assets. There can be no
assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the
Company’s services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived
assets in the future.
Intangible
assets
The
Company reviews annually for impairment of intangible assets in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for Impairment
on Disposed of Long lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS 144, an impairment
loss will be recognized if carrying amount of the intangible asset is not
recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its value. As of March 31, 2009 and
2008, no impairment was recorded.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in
tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company is governed by the
Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China and local income tax laws (the
"PRC Income Tax Law"). Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Law, enterprises are
subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% . The local government in the PRC has
provided companies various incentives to encourage economic development in the
region. Such incentives include reduced tax rates and other measures.

Contributed
property
The
Company received land use rights from the PRC for a period of xx years. The
Company recorded the fair value of the land use rights as an intangible asset
and deferred revenue based upon, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 116, "Accounting for Contributions Received and
Contributions Made." This Statement establishes standards of
financial accounting and reporting for contributions
received and contributions made. Accounting
for contributions is an issue primarily for not-for-profit organizations because
contributions are a significant source of revenues for many of those
organizations. However, this Statement applies to all entities (not-for-profit
organizations and business enterprises) that receive or make contributions.
Contributions received are
recognized as revenues or gains in the period received and as assets, decreases
of liabilities, or expenses depending on the form of the benefits received.
Contributions received are measured at their fair values. (See NOTES
7 and 9).
The Company recognizes revenue in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition
(“SAB104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 104 requires that four basic
criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is
fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments
regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and
the collectability of those amounts.
The
Company has two revenue sources including the following revenue recognition
policies:
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of cemetery plots when it is realized
or realizable and earnings process is complete. In general, the Company records
revenue when the cemetery plot successfully completed, title has passed to the
customer in accordance with the terms of the sale and consideration is
given. The costs associated with cemetery products revenue are the
costs to convert the land into the actual burial plots. Additionally
direct selling costs incurred in selling the cemetery plots are recorded in cost
of goods sold.
Park
construction income is recognized when the Company is contracted to provides
services for third party clients. These services include the
construction of sidewalks, pagodas, landscaping and other structures for
parks. These projects are not associated with the Company’s sales of
cemetery plots. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of the
park, and the project has been approved by the customer and collection is
assured. The costs associated with the park construction income
are raw materials purchased for that specific project and services performed by
the Company recorded in costs of goods sold.
Cost of goods
sold
Cost of
goods sold includes the capitalized costs of cemetery plots sold and services
provided by the Company to third parties for development and construction of
parks.
Other operating
costs
Other
operating expenses include management and staff salaries, administrative and
facilities related expenses, and other expenses to the non-production functions
of the business are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
Advertising
is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were included in selling expenses
and amounted to $426,415 and $519,546 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.

Foreign currency
translation
As of
March 31, 2009 and 2008, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and its
consolidated financial statements were expressed in the RMB. Such consolidated
financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounts Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation," with the RMB as the functional currency. According to SFAS 52, all
assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the consolidated
balance sheet date, stockholder's equity are translated at the historical rates
and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average
exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported
under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." The exchange rate for the conversion of one US Dollar to
RMB was 6.8256 and 7.0022 at March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Transaction
gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the
results of operations as incurred.
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement
of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based
upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result,
amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash
flows will not necessarily agree with arithmetical changes in the corresponding
balances on the consolidated balance sheet.
Other comprehensive
income
SFAS
No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, established standards for the reporting and display
of comprehensive income or loss and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the
change in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other events
and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s total comprehensive
income or loss consists of net unrealized income or loss from foreign currency
translation adjustments. The Company has presented comprehensive income or loss
on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
For the
years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, unrealized foreign currency translation
gain was $511,749 and $1,978,746, respectively.
Segment
reporting
Operating
segments are defined by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS No. 131”), as components
of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making
group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. For
the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2009, the Company derived almost all of its
revenue from the sale of burial plots.

Recent accounting
pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS
No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) applies to any transaction or other
event that meets the definition of a business combination. Where applicable,
SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the
acquirer recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, non-controlling interest in the acquiree and goodwill or gain from a
bargain purchase. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) determines what information
to disclose to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate
the nature and financial effects of the business combination. In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and
Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies, (“FSP 141(R)-1”), which modified the guidance in SFAS
No. 141(R) related to contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Also in
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”). This Statement
amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements,
to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS
No. 141(R), as modified by FSP 141(R)-1, and SFAS No. 160 are required to
be adopted simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption being
prohibited. The Company will adopt both SFAS No. 141(R), as modified by FSP
141(R)-1, and SFAS No. 160 on April 1, 2009. The Company
has no non-controlling interests, therefore the adoption of SFAS
No. 160 is not expected to have any impact. The adoption of SFAS
No. 141(R), as modified by FSP 141(R)-1, will change the Company’s
accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective
basis.
In March
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires
additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and
hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No.
133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of
such instruments and related hedged items on the Company’s financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for periods
beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the
Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP No. FAS 142-3 amends the factors that
should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to
determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142-3 is
effective for periods beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 142-3
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures
about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets”. This FSP requires additional
disclosures about plan assets for sponsors of defined benefit pension and
postretirement plans including expanded information regarding investment
strategies, major categories of plan assets, and concentrations of risk within
plan assets. Additionally, this FSP requires disclosures similar to those
required under SFAS No. 157 with respect to the fair value of plan assets such
as the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and
information with respect to classification of plan assets in terms of the
hierarchy of the source of information used to determine their value. The
disclosures under this FSP are required for annual periods ending after December
15, 2009. The Company does not expect that this standard would have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company does not have
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.

April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP
157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides guidance regarding how to determine whether there
has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the
asset or liability when compared with normal market activity for the asset or
liability. In such situations, an entity may conclude that transactions or
quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value, and may adjust the
transactions or quoted prices to arrive at the fair value of the asset or
liability. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods
ending after March 15, 2009, and must be applied prospectively. The Company
does not expect the adoption of FAS 157-4 on April 1, 2009 to have any
material impact on its consolidated financial statements or required
disclosures.
In May
2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which
establishes general standards of accounting for, and requires disclosure of,
events that occur after the consolidated balance sheet date but before
consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of this standard will not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 is a revision to SFAS No. 140, “Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities”, and will require more information about transfers of financial
assets and where companies have continuing exposure to the risk related to
transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a qualifying special
purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and
requires additional disclosure. This standard is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt SFAS
166 on January 1, 2010 and is currently evaluating the potential impact on
the consolidated financial statements when implemented.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R) (SFAS 167). The
amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special
purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a
variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess
who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for the
first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim
periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company will adopt SFAS
167 in fiscal 2010 and is evaluating the impact it will have on the results of
the Company.
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The Codification is effective for interim and annual

During
2005, the Company received land use rights which were contributed by the PRC.
The land use rights include Chongqing Gui Yuan Cemetery located in ChangShou,
China, Under PRC’s governmental regulations, the government
owns all land. However, PRC would not directly assign the land use
rights to the Company’s management rather it assigned the land use rights to the
Company as a contribution. Therefore, the Company received the land use rights
without giving the government any consideration in return for the
rights. At December 31, 2005, the Company has recorded the fair value
of the land use rights under FAS 116, "Accounting for Contributions Received and
Contributions Made", and the deferred revenue.
The
Company’s management determined the fair market value of the land use
rights based upon the actual square meters of the useable land. The Company
expects approximately 210,000 plots can be developed and sold within the 399,444
square meters of land. The Company’s average sales price per plot
ranges from $3,900 to $4,400.
At March
31, 2009 and 2008, the Company reviewed the land use rights for
impairment. The Company determined that based upon the combined net
income of $11,222,243 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, value
assigned to land use rights value is fully recoverable and no impairment to its
value.
The land
use rights are expensed based upon the number of cemetery plots capitalized in
inventory using the units of production method. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008,

16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
(b) Litigation
In the
ordinary course of business, the Company is generally subject to claims,
complaints, and legal actions. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, management believes
that the Company is not a party to any action which would have a
material impact on its financial condition, operations, or cash
flows.
(c) Economic
Environment
Due
to all of the Company's operations being conducted in the PRC, the
Company is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically
associated with companies operating in the United States of America. These risks
include, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and
foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by
changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in
governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary
measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of
taxation, among other things.
The
granting of land use licenses is a common practice in China as all land is
government-owned, and, at present, no option to purchase land has ever been
granted. Pursuant to the laws of China, all land belongs to the
government. However, as the Company does have very limited rights in
accordance with land use license for the cemetery plot development and
corresponding sales of the burial spaces.
(d)
Retirement Plans
The
Company participates in a defined contribution retirement program organized by
the relevant local government authority in the PRC. Employees of the Company
eligible to participate in the retirement plan are entitled to retirement
benefits from the plan. The local government authority is responsible for the
pension liabilities to these retired employees. The Company is required to make
monthly contributions to the retirement plan up to the time of retirement of the
eligible employees, at 20% of the local standard basic salaries. As of March 31,
2009 and 2008, the Company had no significant obligation apart from the
contribution as stated above.
Note
17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

February 12, 2010, the Company and its shareholders entered into a Share
Exchange Agreement with Artistry Publications, Inc. (“Artistry Publications”).

into following exclusive agreements with Chongqing Foguang and its owners
(collectively the “Contractual Arrangements”):
(1) Consulting Services
Agreement, through which Chongqing Ran Ji has the right to advise,
consult, manage and operate Chongqing Foguang, and collect and own all of its
net profits;
(2) Operating Agreement,
through which Chongqing Ran Ji has the right to recommend director candidates

As a
result of these Contractual Arrangements, which obligates Chongqing Ran Ji to
absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Chongqing Foguang’s activities and
enable Chongqing Ran Ji to receive a majority of its expected residual returns,
the Company believes that Chongqing Foguang is a Variable Interest Entity
(“VIE”) under Accounting Standards Codification 810, because the owners of
Chongqing Foguang do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest and the Company should be considered the primary beneficiary of
Chongqing Foguang. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Chongqing Foguang’s
results, assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
The
Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31st.

Consolidation of variable
interest entities
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810 variable interest
entities (VIEs) are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance
their activities without additional financial support from other parties or
whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which
the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary
of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to
consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.
The
Company has concluded that Chongqing Foguang is a VIE and that the Company’s
direct wholly owned subsidiary, Chongqing Ran Ji, absorbs a majority of the risk
of loss from the activities of Chongqing Foguang, and enable the Company to
receive a majority of its expected residual returns. Accordingly, the Company
accounts for Chongqing Foguang as a VIE.
Because
the Company and Chongqing Foguang are under common control, the initial
measurement of the assets and liabilities of Chongqing for the purpose of
consolidation by the Company is at book value. The Company has had no
other business activities except for the entering into of the exclusive
agreements with Chongqing Ran Ji and its shareholders. For the purpose of
presenting the financial statements on a consistent basis, the consolidated
financial statements are prepared as if the Company had been in existence since
April 1, 2007 and throughout each of the two-year periods ended December 31,
2009.
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements for the
company, its subsidiary and the variable interest entity, Chongqing
Foguang. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between
the Company, its subsidiary and the variable interest entity are eliminated upon
consolidation.
Use of
estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Significant estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements include the fair value of financial instruments, the useful
lives of and impairment for property and equipment, estimates of intangible
assets, and accruals for taxes due. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Fair value of financial
instruments
The
Company’s fair value of financial instruments, including cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short term notes payable
approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these
instruments.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of completed cemetery plots ready for sale. Inventory
includes all direct costs associated with land development and construction of
cemetery plots, including interest, costs of land use rights based on units of
production and other carryings costs incurred. Inventory is valued at
the lower of cost or market (determined on a weighted average cost basis) or net
realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventory with the
net realizable value and an allowance is made for impairment in the value of
inventory if lower than cost. As of December 31, 2009, no impairment
was recorded.

Contributed
property
The
Company received land use rights from the PRC for a period of 20 years from the
initial transaction date for the land use for a cemetery, but is renewable for
80 more years. The Company recorded the fair value of the land use
rights as an intangible asset and deferred revenue based upon the authoritative
accounting guidance for financial accounting and reporting for
contributions
received and
contributions made. Accounting for contributions is an issue primarily for
not-for-profit organizations because contributions are a significant source of
revenues for many of those organizations. However, the guidance applies to all
entities (not-for-profit organizations and business enterprises) that receive or
make contributions.
Contributions received are recognized as revenues or gains in the
period received and as assets, decreases of liabilities, or expenses depending
on the form of the benefits received. Contributions received are measured at
their fair values. (See NOTES 8 and 9).
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP which requires that four
basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling
price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments
regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and
the collectability of those amounts.
The
Company has two revenue sources including the following revenue recognition
policies:
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of cemetery plots when it is realized
or realizable and earnings process is complete. In general, the Company records
revenue when the cemetery plot successfully completed, title has passed to the
customer in accordance with the terms of the sale and consideration is
given. The costs associated with cemetery products revenue are the
costs to convert the land into the actual burial plots. Additionally,
direct selling costs incurred in selling the cemetery plots are recorded in cost
of goods sold.
Park
construction income is recognized when the Company is contracted to provides
services for third party clients. These services include the
construction of sidewalks, pagodas, landscaping and other structures for
parks. These projects are not associated with the Company’s sales of
cemetery plots. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of the
park, and the project has been approved by the customer and collection is
assured. The costs associated with the park construction income
are raw materials purchased for that specific project and services performed by
the Company recorded in costs of goods sold.
Cost of goods
sold
Cost of
goods sold includes the capitalized costs of cemetery plots sold and services
provided by the Company to third parties for development and construction of
parks.
Other operating
costs
Other
operating expenses include management and staff salaries, administrative and
facilities related expenses, and other expenses to the non-production functions
of the business are expensed as incurred.

Foreign currency
translation
As of
December 31, 2009, the accounts of the Company were maintained, and its
consolidated financial statements were expressed in the RMB. Such consolidated
financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars in accordance with U.S.
GAAP with the RMB as the functional currency. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, all
assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the consolidated
balance sheet date, stockholder's equity are translated at the historical rates
and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average
exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported
under other comprehensive income. The exchange rate for the
conversion of one U.S. Dollar to RMB was $1.00 = 6.8172 yuan (or 1 yuan = U.S.
$0.1467), on December 31, 2009. Transaction gains and losses that arise
from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other
than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
Cash
flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local
currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to
assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not
necessarily agree with arithmetical changes in the corresponding balances on the
consolidated balance sheet.
Other comprehensive
income
Current
accounting guidance establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income or loss and its components in a full set of general purpose
consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income or loss is defined as
the change in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other
events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s total
comprehensive income or loss consists of net unrealized income or loss from
foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company has presented
comprehensive income or loss on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive
Income.
For the
period ended December 31, 2009 and the year ended March 31, 2009, unrealized
foreign currency translation gains were $50,862 and $511,749,
respectively.
Recent accounting
pronouncements
In
January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an
accounting standard update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820),
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The Update would
affect all entities that are required to make disclosures about recurring and
nonrecurring fair value measurements. The Board concluded that users will
benefit from improved disclosures in this Update and that the benefits of the
increased transparency in financial reporting will outweigh the costs of
complying with the new requirements. The new disclosures and
clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures
about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of
activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 30, 2010, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this update for
improving disclosures about fair measurements, as codified in ASC 820 did not
have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In
January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an
accounting standard update to address implementation issues related to the
changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation—Overall Subtopic (Subtopic
810-10) of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification™, originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the
accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in
ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a
subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in
the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a
gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the
subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated
with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the
subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated.
In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership
interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the
subsidiary as an equity transaction.
While
Subtopic 810-10 provides general guidance on accounting for the decreases in
ownership of a subsidiary, including a deconsolidation, some constituents raised
concerns that the guidance appears to conflict with the gain or loss treatment
or derecognition criteria of other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), such as the guidance for sales of real estate, transfers of financial
assets, conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights, and transactions with equity
method investees.
Some
constituents also questioned whether the Board intended for the decrease in
ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 to apply to all entities because a
subsidiary is defined as an entity, including an unincorporated entity such as a
partnership or trust, in which another entity, known as its parent, holds a
controlling financial interest. Those constituents were concerned that such an
interpretation could result in the accounting for a transaction being driven by
its form rather than its substance. For example, different accounting might be
applied to a transaction involving the same underlying assets depending on
whether those assets were transferred in asset or entity form.” The amendments
in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts
Statement 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). If an entity has
previously adopted Statement 160 as of the date of the amendments in this update
are included in the
Accounting
Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in
the interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 31,
2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to
the first period that an entity adopted 160. The adoption of this update
for the changes in the accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling
interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, as codified in ASC
810-10, did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

pronouncements
(continued)
In
December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an
accounting standard update for improvements to financial reporting by
enterprises involved with Variable Interest Entities. The subsections
clarify the application of the General Subsections to certain legal entities in
which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling
financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the legal entity
to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support [FIN
46(R), paragraph 1, sequence 55.1] or, as a group, the holders of the equity
investment at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics: [FIN
46(R), paragraph 1, sequence 55.2]
a. The
power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of a
legal entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance
[FIN 46(R), paragraph 1, sequence 55.2.1]
b. The
obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity [FIN 46(R),
paragraph 1, sequence 55.2.2]
c. The
right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity. [FIN 46(R),
paragraph 1, sequence 55.2.3]
The
amendments in this update to the Accounting Standards Codification are the
result of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.
46(R). The adoption of this update to improving the financial reporting by
enterprises involved with Variable Interest Entities, as codified in ASC 810,
did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an
accounting standard update, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Accounting for
Transfers of Financial Assets. The amendments in this update to the
Accounting Standards Codification are the result of FASB Statement No. 166,
Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets. The adoption of this update did not have any impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), and the SEC did not or are not believed
by management to have a material impact on the Company's present condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Segment
reporting
Operating
segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. For the periods ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, the Company derived almost all of its revenue from the sale of burial
plots.
Subsequent
events
The
Company evaluates events that occur subsequent to the consolidated balance sheet
date of periodic reports, but before consolidated financial statements are
issued for periods ending on such consolidated balance sheet dates, for
possible adjustment to
such consolidated financial statements or other disclosure. This evaluation
generally occurs through the date at which the Company’s consolidated financial
statements are electronically prepared for filing with the SEC. For the
consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ending December 31,
2009, this date was February 12, 2010.

In the
PRC, land is the asset of the government. The Company maintains only use rights
from local governmental authorities. The Company has use rights on three
properties consisting of approximately 399,444 square meters of land with land
usage rights with 20 years expiration from the date of grant, but is
renewable for 80 more years. Land use rights are stated at the estimated fair
value on the contribution date less accumulated amortization and any impairment
losses. The land use rights are amortized on ratable basis based on the number
of plots developed over the life of the rights.
The
intangible assets at December 31, 2009 consisted of the following:

Less:
Accumulated units of production costs
|
1,407,738 | |||
Total

During
2005, the Company received land use rights which were contributed by the PRC.
The land use rights include Chongqing Gui Yuan Cemetery located in ChangShou,
China, Under PRC’s governmental regulations, the government owns all
land. However, PRC would not directly assign the land use rights to
the Company’s management rather it assigned the land use rights to the Company
as a contribution. Therefore, the Company received the land use rights without
giving the government any consideration in return for the rights. At
December 31, 2005, the Company has recorded the fair value of the land use
rights, and the deferred revenue.
The
Company’s management determined the fair market value of the land use rights
based upon the actual square meters of the useable land. The Company expects
approximately 210,000 plots can be developed and sold within the 399,444 square
meters of land. The Company’s average sales price per plot ranges
from $3,900 to $4,400.
At
December 31, 2009, the Company reviewed the land use rights for
impairment. The Company determined that based upon the net income of
$10,044,238 at December 31, 2009 and $11,222,243 for the years ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, value assigned to land use rights has been fully
recovered.
The land
use rights are expensed based upon the number of cemetery plots capitalized and
placed into inventory using the units of production method. As of December 31,
2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company expensed $398,904 and $172,890,
respectively, which was included in the capitalized cost of inventory and
expensed through cost of goods sold.
NOTE
9 – DEFERRED REVENUE
At
December 31, 2005, the Company recorded the deferred revenue related to land use
rights that were contributed to the Company by the People’s Republic of China.
As the Company sells cemetery plots, a portion of the deferred revenue is
recognized as other income based on the number of cemetery plots that the
Company sells during the year. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Company recorded $325,816 and $166,181, respectively, as other
income.

(b) Litigation
In the
ordinary course of business, the Company is generally subject to claims,
complaints, and legal actions. At December 31, 2009, management believes that
the Company is not a party to any action which would have a material impact on
its consolidated financial condition, operations, or cash flows.
(c) Economic
Environment
Due to
all of the Company's operations being conducted in the PRC, the Company is
subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated
with companies operating in the United States of America. These risks include,
among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign
currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in
the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental
policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures,
currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation,
among other things.
The
granting of land use licenses is a common practice in China as all land is
government-owned, and, at present, no option to purchase land has ever been
granted. Pursuant to the laws of China, all land belongs to the
government. However, as the Company does have very limited rights in
accordance with land use license for the cemetery plot development and
corresponding sales of the burial spaces.
