NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Forlink Software Corporation, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant" or "Forlink"), is a Nevada corporation which was originally incorporated on January 7, 1986 as "Why Not?, Inc. " under the laws of the State of Utah and subsequently reorganized under the laws of Nevada on December 30, 1993.  From 1996 until 1999, the Company continued as an unfunded venture in search of a suitable business acquisition or business combination.

On November 3, 1999, the Company entered into a Plan of Reorganization with Beijing Forlink Software Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "BFSTC"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), under the terms of which BFSTC gained control of the Company.  Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company acquired 100% of the registered and fully paid-up capital of BFSTC in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of the Company's authorized, but unissued, common stock.  BFSTC is engaged in the provision of computer software consultancy and engineering services and the development and sale of computer software in the PRC.  As a part of its computer consultancy and engineering services, BFSTC is also engaged in the sale of computer hardware.  In June 2001, BFSTC changed its name to Forlink Technologies Co. Ltd. (“FTCL”). FTCL is the Company’s major operating subsidiary in China.

In August 2001, the Company acquired Beijing Slait Science & Technology Development Limited Co. (“SLAIT”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization dated January 11, 2001.  The Company issued 59,430,000 shares of its common stock to SLAIT’s original beneficial owners in exchange for 100% of the outstanding equity of SLAIT.  As a result of the share exchange, the former beneficial owners of SLAIT own approximately 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, and SLAIT became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Company also agreed to transfer 1,085,000 Renminbi (“RMB”) (approximately US$131,039) to the former owners of SLAIT. A change in control occurred in which all but one of the officers and directors of the Company resigned and two former directors (also former owners) of SLAIT became officers and directors of the Company.  Prior to its dissolution in 2004, SLAIT provided application system integration technology and specializes in large volume transaction processing software for networks such as mobile phone billing and band operation.  Subsequent to the acquisition, the principal activities of SLAIT were gradually shifted to those of FTCL. On February 13, 2004, SLAIT was officially dissolved in accordance with relevant PRC regulations.

On June 18, 2003, Forlink Technologies (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTHK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as a limited liability company. In December 2003, FTHK became a wholly owned subsidiary of Forlink.  FTHK is an investment holding company set up to take advantage of the favorable business environment in Hong Kong and to facilitate the Company’s investment transactions.  Through FTHK, on December 18, 2003, the Company invested $760,870 in All China Logistics Online Co., Ltd. ("All China Logistics"), a privately held PRC company providing logistic services in China, in exchange for a 17.8% equity interest.

On June 14, 2004, Forlink Technologies (Chengdu) Limited ("FTCD") was established as a limited liability company in Chengdu, PRC and subsequently became a wholly owned subsidiary of FTHK in September 2004. FTCD is in the business of providing software outsourcing services and software development.  The registered capital of FTCD is $5,000,000 and the fully paid up capital was $750,000 as of December 31, 2005. In April 2006, FTHK further invested $130,000 in FTCD. FTCD commenced operations in late 2005. The registered capital of FTCD was reduced to $200,000 in December 2007, which amount was fully paid as of December 2007.

In compliance with China’s foreign investment restrictions on telecom value-added services and other laws and regulations, the Company conducts telecom value-added services and application integration services for government organizations in China via Beijing Forlink Hua Xin Technology Co. Ltd. ("BFHX"). BFHX was established in the PRC on September 19, 2003 as a limited liability company.  The registered capital of BFHX is $120,733 (RMB 1,000,000) and was fully paid up as of March 31, 2005.  Mr. Yi He and Mr. Wei Li have been entrusted as nominee owners of BFHX to hold 70% and 30%, respectively, of the fully paid up capital of BFHX on behalf of the Company as the primary beneficiary.  BFHX is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and because the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include BFHX.  Upon the request of the Company, Mr. Yi He and Mr. Wei Li are required to transfer their ownership interests in BFHX to the Company or its designees at any time for the amount of the fully paid registered capital of BFHX.  Mr. Yi He is the Chief Executive Officer, a director and a major stockholder of the Company.  Mr. Wei Li is the administration manager of FTCL.

On October 24, 2005, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 17.5% equity interest of China Liquid Chemical Exchange Company Limited (“CLCE”), a PRC limited liability company, in exchange for deployment of the Company’s For-online Electronic Trading System.  In early 2007, CLCE increased its share capital to $1,708,526 (RMB 13,000,000). As the Company did not subscribe for the new shares, the Company’s shareholding of CLCE was diluted and as of March 31 2009 was 13.46%. CLCE commenced operations fully in early 2007.

On October 3, 2006, the Company entered into a Transfer of Right to Invest and Project Cooperation Agreement (“Statelink Agreement”) with Statelink International Group, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Statelink”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 22.73% registered capital in Guangxi Caexpo International Trade and Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Guangxi Caexpo”), a PRC limited liability company in the businesses of real estate development, advertising and computer distribution for cash consideration of $2,557,545 (RMB 20,000,000) from BFHX and stock consideration of 13,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. On October 26, 2006, BFHX established Forlink Technologies (Guangxi) Limited (“FTGX”), a PRC limited liability company, to carry out a contract from Guangxi Caexpo to build an “Electronic Trade and Logistics Information Platform and Call Center” (the “Project”). At the time of incorporation, BFHX injected RMB 20,000,000 (approximately US$2,557,545) as registered capital to FTGX.

On October 12, 2006, the Company invested $31,969 (RMB 250,000) in Wuxi Stainless Steel Exchange Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi Exchange”), a PRC limited liability company, for a 12.5% equity interest. On January 14, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a major shareholder of Wuxi Exchange to transfer 2.5% of the Company’s interest in Wuxi Exchange to the major shareholder for a cash payment of RMB 500,000.

On January 25, 2007, the board of directors and the majority holders of the Company’s common stock jointly approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation by written consent, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000. The Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effect the increase of the number of the Company’s authorized common shares was filed with Nevada’s Secretary of State on April 4, 2007.

On April 29, 2007, the Company invested, through BFHX, $138,158 (RMB 1,050,000) in Beijing GuoXin Forlink Internet Technologies Limited (“BGXF”), a privately held PRC company that operates a finance study website, for a 35% equity interest.  The investment in BGXF is accounted for under the equity method of accounting due to the Company’s significant influence over the operational and financial policies of BGXF.  BGXF commenced operations on March 9 2008. On October 14, 2008, the registered capital of BGXF was increased to RMB 4,285,700, and since the Company did not invest additional funds into BGFX, the ratio of its holding was diluted to a 24.5% equity interest.

On July 12, 2007, the Company invested through FTGX, $1,063,830 (RMB 8,000,000) in Nanning Bulk Commodities Exchange Corporation Limited (“NNBCE”), a privately held PRC company, for an 80% equity interest, and NNBCE became a subsidiary of FTGX.  Set up on April 29, 2007, NNBCE commenced operations on March 28, 2008, and provides logistical e-commerce services.
 
On September 5, 2007, the Company invested $465,425 (RMB 3,500,000), through NNBCE, in Guangxi Bulk Sugar & Ethanol Exchange Corporation Limited (“GBSEE”), a PRC limited liability company established on September 12, 2007, for a 35% equity interest. Concurrently, All China Logistics was entrusted as nominee owner of GBSEE to hold 20% of the fully paid up capital of GBSEE on behalf of NNBCE as the primary beneficiary. Upon the request of NNBCE, All China Logistics is required to transfer its ownership interests in GBSEE to NNBCE or its designees at any time for the amount of the 20% fully paid up capital. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - An Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”), NNBCE is deemed to hold the primary beneficial interest of 55% equity interest in GBSEE. GBSEE was established to provide logistical e-commerce services, but it was dissolved on December 16, 2007 before it commenced any operations and NNBCE received payments back of its investment in GBSEE of $410,397 (RMB 3,000,000) in December 2007; $66,211 (RMB 484,000) in February 2008, and $2,189 (RMB 16,000) in September 2008.

On December 24, 2007, the board of directors and the majority holders of the Company’s common stock jointly approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation by written consent, to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. The Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse split was filed with Nevada’s Secretary of State on February 21, 2008.

On March 20, 2008, the Company invested $71,124 (RMB 500,000), through BFHX, in Shandong LongDong Internet Technologies Limited (“SDLD”), a PRC limited liability company established on October 24, 2007, for a 5% equity interest.  SDLD, which commenced operations in December 2007, is in the business of providing of providing primary products e-commerce services. The purpose of this investment is to gain cash dividends from SDLD.

The Company transferred all its ownership interests in FTCL to BFHX for the amount of FTCL’s 100% fully paid up capital on February 8, 2010.

Forlink, its subsidiaries and VIE (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”), are all operating companies.  Set forth below is a diagram illustrating the Company’s corporate structure as of March 31, 2010:

Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into each company’s denominated currency at the exchange rates at the transaction dates.  Gain and loss resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations.  Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into each company’s denominated currency at the yearend exchange rates. All exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statements of operations.

The financial statements of the Company’s operations based outside of the United States have been translated into US$ under the guidance of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”.  Management has determined that the functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign operations is its applicable local currency. When translating functional currency financial statements into US$, year-end exchange rates are applied to the consolidated balance sheets, while average period rates are applied to consolidated statements of operations.  Translation gains and losses are recorded in translation reserve as a component of stockholders’ equity.
 
The value of the RMB is subject to changes in China’s central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Since 1994, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including US$, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets.  Since 1994, the official exchange rate generally has been stable.  In July 2005, the Chinese government announced that it will no longer peg its currency exclusively to US$ but will switch to a managed floating exchange rate based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies which will likely increase the volatility of RMB as compared to US$. The exchange rate of RMB to US$ changed from RMB8.28 to RMB8.11 in late July 2005.

The exchange rates used as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are US$1:HK$7.80:RMB6.84, and US$1:HK$7.78:RMB6.85, respectively. The weighted average rates ruling for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 are US$1:HK$7.80:RMB6.84, and US$1:HK$7.78:RMB6.85, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies.  The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

The PRC subsidiaries conduct their business substantially in the PRC, and their financial performance and position are measured in terms of RMB.  Any devaluation of the RMB against the US$ would consequently have an adverse effect on the financial performance and asset values of the Company when measured in terms of US$. The PRC subsidiaries’ products are primarily procured, sold and delivered in the PRC for RMB.  Thus, their revenues and profits are predominantly denominated in RMB.  Should the RMB devalue against US$, such devaluation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profits and the foreign currency equivalent of such profits repatriated by the PRC entities to the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that the Company believes to be uncollectible.  We have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date.  Any unanticipated change in one of those customers’ credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectability of amounts due from such customers, could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  For inventory used in system integration services, cost is calculated using the specific identification method.  For the sale of computer hardware, cost is calculated using first-in, first-out method.  Cost includes all costs of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.  Market value is determined by reference to the sales proceeds of items sold in the ordinary course of business after the balance sheet date or to management estimates based on prevailing market conditions.

Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of depreciable assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 
10

 

   
Estimated useful life
(in years)
 
       
Building
 
20
 
Computer equipment
 
3
 
Office equipment
 
5
 
Motor vehicle
 
10
 

Major improvements of property, plant and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures for repair and maintenance and minor renewals and betterments are charged directly to the statements of operations as incurred. When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

Computer Software Development Costs

Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established.  Deferred software development costs will be amortized over the estimated economic life of the software once the product is available for general release to customers.  For the current software products, the Company determined that technological feasibility was reached at the point in time it was available for general distribution.  Therefore, no costs were capitalized.

Long term investments

The Company’s long term investments consist of (1) equity investments which are accounted for in accordance with the equity method and (2) cost investments which are accounted for under the cost method. Under the equity method, each such investment is reported at cost plus the Company’s proportionate share of the income or loss or other changes in stockholders’ equity of each such investee since its acquisition. The consolidated results of operations include such proportionate share of income or loss. See Note 7.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  The adoption of ASC 820 did not materially impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASC 820 requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments including those financial instruments for which fair value option was not elected.  The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities approximate to their fair values due to short maturities or the applicable interest rates approximate the current market rates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generally provides services under multiple element arrangements, which include software license fees, hardware and software sales, and the provision of system integration services including consulting, implementation, and software maintenance. The Company evaluates revenue recognition on a contract-by-contract basis as the terms of each arrangement vary.  The evaluation of the contractual arrangements often requires judgments and estimates that affect the timing of revenue recognized in the statements of operations.  Specifically, the Company may be required to make judgments about:

 
·
whether the fees associated with our products and services are fixed or determinable;
 
·
whether collection of our fees is reasonably assured;
 
·
whether professional services are essential to the functionality of the related software product;
 
·
whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage-of-completion method; and
 
·
whether we have verifiable objective evidence of fair value for our products and services.
 
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the guidance of subtopic 985-605 of the Accounting Standards Codification “Software Revenue Recognition,” which requires that there be a signed contract evidencing an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

 
11

 

Software license revenue is recognized over the accounting periods contained in the terms of the relevant agreements, commencing upon the delivery of the software provided that (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) the fee is fixed or determinable and (3) collection of the fee is considered probable.

Revenue from non-software, multiple-element arrangements is recognized in accordance with the GASB guidance of subtopic 605-25, “Revenue of Multi-element Arrangement.” The Company recognizes revenue from the multiple-deliverables which has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis.  Deliverables in an arrangement that do not meet the separation criteria in ASC 605-25 are treated as one unit of accounting for purposes of revenue recognition.

In the case of maintenance revenues, vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value is based on substantive renewal prices, and the revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance period.

In the case of consulting and implementation services revenues, where VSOE is based on prices from stand-alone sale transactions, the revenues are recognized as services that are performed pursuant to paragraph ASC 985-605-25.

For hardware transactions where software is incidental, the Company does not apply separate accounting guidance to the hardware and software elements.  The Company applies the provisions of the FASB ASC 985-605-15 “Software Revenue Recognition.” Per this guidance, if the software is considered not essential to the functionality of the hardware, then the hardware is not considered “software related” and is excluded from the scope of ASC 985-605-15.  Such sale of computer hardware is recognized as revenue on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed.

Remote hosting services, where VSOE is based upon consistent pricing charged to customers based on volumes and performance requirements on a stand-alone basis and substantive renewal terms, are recognized ratably over the contract term as the services are performed.  The remote hosting arrangements generally require the Company to perform one-time set-up activities and include a one-time set-up fee.  This one-time set-up fee is generally paid by the customer at contract execution.  The Company has determined that these set-up activities do not constitute a separate unit of accounting, and accordingly, the related set-up fees are recognized protractedly over the term of the contract.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the FASB ASC 718 Stock Compensation, using the modified prospective application transition method.
 
The FASB ASC 718 requires the Company to record the cost of stock options and other equity-based compensation in its income statement based upon the estimated fair value of those rewards.  The Company elected to use the modified prospective method for adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested stock options and other equity-based compensation beginning in the first quarter of adoption.  Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated to reflect stock based compensation.  On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the FASB ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because most of the Company’s outstanding stock options were vested as of December 31, 2005 and the unvested portion of the stock options was considered immaterial.
 
 
12

 

The FASB ASC 718 also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense relating to share-based compensation as opposed to recognizing forfeitures as an expense reduction as they incur.  The adjustment to apply estimated forfeitures to previously share-based compensation was considered immaterial by the Company and as such was not classified as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  As of January 1, 2006, the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost remaining associated with existing stock option grants. Also, the Company made no modifications to outstanding stock option grants prior to the adoption of the FASB ASC 718, and there were no changes in valuation methodologies or assumptions compared to those used by the Company prior to January 1, 2006.

The Company did not adopt any new share-based compensation plans in 2010.  200,000 stock options issued under the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan were exercised during the year 2008.

Advertising costs

All advertising costs incurred in the promotion of the Company’s products and services are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with for the FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, the FASB ASC 740, deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered.  Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets not be realized. The AFSB ASC also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, as defined in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements.  Guidance is also provided regarding derecognition, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions.

Earnings Per Common Share

The Company computes net earnings per share in accordance with the FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”.  Under the provisions of the FASB ASC 260, basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net earnings per share gives effect to common stock equivalents, however, potential common stock in the diluted EPS computation are excluded in net loss periods, as their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Recent Issued Accounting Guidance

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for us with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for us with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
 
13

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for us beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition.

On July 1, 2009, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB that changes the accounting and reporting for non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests are to be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control are to be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to a non-controlling interest is to be included in net income and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, is to be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in net income. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for us beginning July 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of these statements will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2003, the Company invested $760,870 in a privately held PRC company, All China Logistics Online Co., Ltd., for a 17.8% equity interest.  The Company has recorded the investment at cost because it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee.

On October 24, 2005, the Company set up China Liquid Chemical Exchange Company Limited (“CLCE”), a limited liability company in PRC, and shares the risk and rewards up to the equity interest of 13.46%.  The consideration was made in the form of the Company-developed “For-Online Electronic Trading System” without any cash outflow.  Therefore, the Company recorded the contribution of software at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value, and accounted for under the equity method under the guidance of the FASB ASC 970-323.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, our share of loss was $3,924 (RMB 26,844) and during the quarter we received dividends of $107,980 (RMB 738,550) from CLCE, which has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

On October 3, 2006, the Company acquired 22.73% of registered capital in Guangxi Caexpo International Trade and Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Guangxi Caexpo”) from Statelink International Group, Ltd. (“Statelink”) Consideration paid to Statelink for this acquisition included a cash payment of $2,557,545 (RMB 20,000,000) by BFHX and 13,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.  The acquisition cost of the common shares issued to Statelink is based on a per share price of $0.075, which is the average market price of the Company’s common shares over a 10-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to.  The overall acquisition cost of this acquisition was $3,529,450. The Company recorded the investment using the equity method.

On October 12, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 12.5% of registered capital in Wuxi Stainless Steel Exchange Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi”), a private held PRC company. In exchange for the 12.5% registered capital, the Company was to deploy a proprietary, integrated software solution (“Software”), estimated at RMB 1,000,000, by reference to the similar products sold to third parties in 2006, to support Wuxi’s operations, plus RMB 250,000 cash payment to Wuxi.  In 2006, the Company contributed cash of $31,969 (RMB 250,000) and the Software was deployed to Wuxi in December 2006.  The Company recorded the investment at cost because it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Wuxi. On January 14, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Transfer Agreement with a major shareholder of Wuxi to transfer a 2.5% equity interest in Wuxi held by the Company to the major shareholder for a cash payment of RMB 500,000.  After this transfer, the Company continues to hold a 10% equity interest in Wuxi.

On April 29, 2007, the Company invested $138,158 in a privately held PRC company, Beijing GuoXin Forlink Internet Technologies Limited (“BGXF”), for a 35% equity interest.  The Company’s investment was made through BFHX.  The investment in BGXF is accounted for under the equity method of the accounting due to the Company’s significant influence over the operational and financial policies of BGXF.  On March 9, 2008, BGXF commenced operations. On October 14, 2008, BGXF increased its registered capital to RMB 4,285,700, and since we did not invest additional funds into BGXF, the ratio of our holding was diluted to a 24.5% equity interest.

On September 17, 2007, the Company invested $99,734 in a privately held PRC Company, Ningbo Bulk Commodities Exchange Corporation Limited (“NBBCE”) for a 25% equity interest. The Company’s investment was made through BFHX.  The Company recorded the investment at cost because it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over NBBCE.  In fact, NBBCE’s strategic and business decisions are dominated by another major shareholder.

On March 20, 2008, Forlink invested $71,124 (RMB 500,000), through BFHX, in Shandong LongDong Internet Technologies Limited (“SDLD”), a PRC limited liability company, established on October 24, 2007, for a 5% equity interest.  SDLD, which commenced operations in December 2007, is in the business of providing of providing primary products e-commerce services.  The purpose of the investment is to gain cash dividends from SDLD.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAX

According to the relevant PRC tax rules and regulations, FTCL, recognized as New Technology Enterprises operating within a New and High Technology Development Zone, is entitled to an Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) rate of 15%.

Pursuant to approval documents dated September 23, 1999 and August 2, 2000, respectively, issued by the Beijing Tax Bureau and State Tax Bureau, FTCL was fully exempted from EIT for fiscal years 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. FTCL received a 50% EIT reduction at the rate of 7.5% for fiscal years 2003, 2004 and 2005.  As of March 31, 2010, FTCL was entitled to an EIT rate of 15%.

Pursuant to an approval document dated January 19, 2004 issued by the State Tax Bureau, BFHX was fully exempted from EIT for fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006.  As of March 31, 2010, BFHX was entitled to an EIT rate of 25%.

Hong Kong profits tax is calculated at 17.5% on the estimated assessable profits of FTHK for the period. The EIT rates for FTCD, BFKT and NNBCE range from 9% to 33%.  No provision for EIT and Hong Kong profits tax were made for FTCL, BFHX, FTCD, FTGX, NNBCE and FTHK as they have not gained taxable income for the periods.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).  This Interpretation provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, as defined in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements.  Guidance is also provided regarding derecognition, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions.  The Company classified all interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as income tax expense.  The Company’s liability for income taxes includes the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties which relate to tax years still subject to review by taxing authorities.  Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed.  The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to our liability for income taxes.  Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company does not have any liability for uncertain tax positions.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results operations, financial position or liquidity.

On March 16, 2007, the 5th Plenary Session of the 10th National People's Congress passed the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (the “New Corporate Income Tax Law"), which took effect on January 1, 2008. Beginning on that date, the EIT rate was to gradually increase to the standard rate of 25% over a five-year transition period.  However, the New Corporate Income Tax Law did not specify how the existing preferential tax rate would gradually increase to the standard rate of 25%.  Also, under the New Corporate Income Tax Law, certain high technology enterprises would continue to be entitled to a reduced tax rate of 15%. The Company was designated as a high technology enterprise under the New Corporate Income Tax Law. The enactment of the New Corporate Income Tax Law is not expected to have any financial effect on the amounts accrued in the balance sheet in respect of current tax payable.

NOTE 11 - OTHER TAXES RECOVERABLE/(PAYABLE)

Other taxes payable comprise mainly of the Valued-Added Tax (“VAT”) and Business Tax (“BT”). The Company is subject to output VAT levied at the rate of 17% of its operating revenue.  The input VAT paid on purchases of materials and other direct inputs can be used to offset the output VAT levied on operating revenue to determine the net VAT payable or recoverable.  BT is charged at a rate of 5% on the revenue from other services.

As part of the PRC government’s policy of encouraging software development in the PRC, companies that fulfill certain criteria set by the relevant authorities, and which develop their own software products and have the software products registered with the relevant authorities in the PRC, are entitled to a refund of VAT equivalent to the excess over 3% of revenue paid in the month when output VAT exceeds input VAT (excluding export sales). The excess portion of the VAT is refundable and is recorded by the Company on an accrual basis.  The VAT rebate included in other income was $512,899 and $81,672 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 13 - STOCK PLAN
 
On August 16, 2002, the Company established a plan of stock-based compensation incentives for selected eligible participants of the Company and its affiliated corporations.  This plan is known as the “Forlink Software Corporation, Inc. 2002 Stock Plan” (the “2002 Plan”).  The total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance by Forlink either directly as stock awards or underlying options granted under the 2002 Plan shall not be more than 8,000,000. Under the terms of the 2002 Plan, options can be issued to purchase shares of Forlink’s common stock.  The Board of Directors shall determine the terms and conditions of each option granted to eligible participants, which terms shall be set forth in writing.  The terms and conditions so set by the Board of Directors may vary from one eligible participant to another.

On September 7, 2004, 3,315,000 options were granted to the Company’s employees to purchase the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  Of the 3,315,000 options, 800,000 options with a 5-year vesting period were granted to an employee, and 2,515,000 options with a 3-year vesting period were granted to selected employees.  Of the 2,515,000 options with the 3-year vesting period, 2,385,000 options were to expire on December 30, 2006 (the “December 2006 Options”), while the remaining 130,000 options expired on June 30, 2007 (the “June 2007 Options”).  The expiration date for 800,000 options with the 5-year vesting period is June 30, 2009 (the “June 2009 Options”).  On September 7, 2004, January 1, 2005, January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2007, 854,500 (the “December 2006 Options”), 904,500, 1,156,000 (400,000 of “June 2009 Options”; 130,000 of “June 2007 Options”; and 626,000 of “December 2006 Options”) and 200,000 (the “June 2009 Options”) options were vested to employees respectively.  The market price of the stock as of September 7, 2004 and January 1, 2005 was $0.10 per share.  In December 2006, the Company extended the expiration date of the December 2006 Options by one month to the end of January 2007, but there was no additional compensation expense as the Company considered the amount was immaterial.  On January 29, 2007, 367,000 options of the “December 2006 Options” and 400,000 of the “June 2009 options” were exercised.  On July 6, 2007, 130,000 options of the “June 2007 Options” were exercised. On July 15, 2008, 200,000 options of “June 2009 Options” were exercised.

The weighted average fair value of the December 2006 Options, the June 2007 Options and the June 2009 Options granted on the date of grant, were $0.042, $0.046 and $0.058 per option, respectively.  At December 31, 2007, all future compensation expenses were recognized.

There was no aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.  The aggregate intrinsic value represents the intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than the market value of the Company’s stock on December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised those options at of that date.

The Company calculated the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for each respective option.

Overview

We are a leading provider of software solutions and information technology services in China (the “PRC” or “China”). We focus on providing Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solutions for large companies in the telecom, finance, and logistics industries.  In May 2004, we launched For-online, which delivers enterprise applications and services over the Internet to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China.  Since its launch, For-Online has become an important channel for delivering and distributing our products and services to more customers.  In August 2007, we launched our integrated e-business application platform For-Online 4.0, and based on this platform, we also released new versions of For-eMarket 3.0 in September 2007, ForCRM in October 2007 and ForOA in October 2007. We released For-eMarketPlace 3.1 in August 2008. We released For-EAI 5.0 and For-Online 5.0 in June 2009.

Revenues

Our business includes Forlinks “For-series” brand software system sales such as ForOSS, ForRMS, For-Mail and their copyright licensing, and “For-series” related system integration, which consists of hardware sales and other related services rendered to customers. The following table shows our revenue breakdown by business line:

Generally, we offer our products and services to our customers on a total-solutions basis. Most of the contracts we undertake for our customers include revenue from hardware and software sales and professional services.

Sources of Revenue

Hardware Revenue: Revenues from sales of products are mainly derived from sales of hardware.  Normally, the hardware that we procure is in connection with total-solutions basis system integration contracts.

Service Revenue: Service revenue consists of revenue for the professional services we provide to our customers for network planning, design and systems integration, software development, modification and installation, and related training services.

Software License Revenue: We generate revenue in the form of fees received from customers to whom we issue licenses for the use of our software products over an agreed period of time.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue includes hardware costs, software-related costs and compensation and travel expenses for the professionals involved in the relevant projects.  Hardware costs consist primarily of third party hardware costs. We recognize hardware costs in full upon delivery of the hardware to our customers. Software-related costs consist primarily of packaging and written manual expenses for our proprietary software products and software license fees paid to third-party software providers for the right to sublicense their products to our customers as part of our solutions offerings. The costs associated with designing and modifying our proprietary software are classified as research and development expenses as such costs are incurred.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are comprised of selling expenses, research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Selling expenses include compensation expenses for employees in our sales and marketing departments, third party advertising expenses, as well as sales commissions and sales agency fees.

Research and development expenses relate to the development of new software and the modification of existing software.  We expense such costs as they are incurred.

General and administrative expenses include salaries and wages in the management section, office expenses, and traveling expenses.

Taxes

According to the relevant PRC tax rules and regulations, FTCL, is recognized as New Technology Enterprises operating within a New and High Technology Development Zone, are entitled to an Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) rate of 15%.

Pursuant to approval documents dated September 23, 1999 and August 2, 2000 issued by the Beijing Tax Bureau and the State Tax Bureau respectively, FTCL received full exemption from EIT for fiscal years 1999 through 2002, and a 50% EIT reduction at the rate of 7.5% for fiscal years 2003 through 2005.  As of March 31, 2010, FTCL was entitled to an EIT rate of 15%.

 
22

 

Pursuant to an approval document dated January 19, 2004 issued by the State Tax Bureau, BFHX received full exemption from EIT for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. As of March 31, 2010, BFHX was entitled to an EIT rate of 25%.

Hong Kong profits tax is calculated at 17.5% on the estimated assessable profits of FTHK for the period. The EIT rates for FTCD and NNBCE range from 9% to 33%.

Revenue from the sale of hardware procured in China together with the related system integration is subject to a 17% value added tax (“VAT”).  However, companies that develop their own software and have the software registered are generally entitled to a VAT refund.  If the net amount of the VAT payable exceeds 3% of software sales, the excess portion of the VAT is refundable upon our application to the tax authority.  This policy is effective until 2010. Changes in Chinese tax laws may adversely affect our future operations.

Foreign Exchange

Our functional currency is the U.S. Dollar (“US$”) and our financial records are maintained and the financial statements prepared in US$.  The functional currency of FTHK is the Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”) and the financial records are maintained and the financial statements prepared in HK$.  The functional currency of Slait, FTCL, BFHX and FTCD is the Renminbi (“RMB”) and their financial records are maintained and the financial statements are prepared in RMB.

Foreign currency transactions during this reporting period are translated into each companys denominated currency at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into each companys denominated currency at year-end exchange rates.  All exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statements of operations.

The financial statements of our operations based outside of the United States have been translated into US$ under the guidance of the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  We have determined that the functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign operations is its applicable local currency.  When translating functional currency financial statements into US$, period-end exchange rates are applied to the consolidated balance sheets, while average period rates are applied to consolidated statements of operations.  Translation gains and losses are recorded in translation reserve as a component of shareholders’ equity.

The value of the RMB is subject to changes in China’s central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.  Since 1994, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including US$, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets.  Since 1994, the official exchange rate generally has been stable.  In July 2005, the Chinese government announced that it would no longer peg its currency exclusively to US$ but would switch to a managed floating exchange rate based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies.  This switch will likely increase the volatility of RMB as compared to US$.  The exchange rate of RMB to US$ changed from RMB8.28 to RMB8.11 in late July 2005.

Exchange rates among US$, HK$ and RMB had minimal fluctuations during the periods presented.  The rates ruling as of March 31, 2010 are US$1: HK$7.795: RMB6.840.The weighted average rates ruling for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are US$1: HK$7.796: RMB6.840.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenues and cost of revenues under customer contracts, bad debts, income taxes, investment in affiliate, long-lived assets and goodwill.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We generally provide services under multiple element arrangements, which include software license fees, hardware and software sales, provision of system integration services including consulting, implementation, and software maintenance.  We evaluate revenue recognition on a contract-by-contract basis as the terms of each arrangement vary.  The evaluation of the contractual arrangements often requires judgments and estimates that affect the timing of revenue recognized in the statements of operations.  Specifically, we may be required to make judgments about:

 
·
whether the fees associated with our products and services are fixed or determinable;
 
·
whether collection of our fees is reasonably assured;
 
·
whether professional services are essential to the functionality of the related software product;
 
·
whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage-of-completion method; and
 
·
whether we have verifiable objective evidence of fair value for our products and services.

We recognize revenues in accordance with the guidance of subtopic 985-605 of the Accounting Standards Codification “Software Revenue Recognition,” which requires that there be a signed contract evidencing an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

Revenue from non-software, multiple-element arrangements is recognized in accordance with the GASB guidance of subtopic 605-25, Revenue of Multi-element Arrangement.The Company recognizes revenue from the multiple-deliverables which has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis.  Deliverables in an arrangement that do not meet the separation criteria in ASC 605-25 are treated as one unit of accounting for purposes of revenue recognition.

Revenue from provision of system integration services and other related services are recognized when services are rendered in stages as separate identifiable phases of a project are completed and accepted by customers.

Revenue from software sales is recognized when the related products are delivered and installed and collection of sales proceeds is deemed probable and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.

Software license revenue is recognized over the accounting periods contained in the terms of the relevant agreements, commencing upon the delivery of the software provided that (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) the fee is fixed or determinable and (3) collection of the fee is considered probable.  Under certain arrangements, the Company capitalizes related direct costs consisting of third party software costs and direct software implementation costs.  These costs are amortized over the term of the arrangement.

In the case of maintenance revenue, vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value is based on substantive renewal prices, and such revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance period.

In the case of consulting and implementation services revenue, VSOE is based on prices from stand-alone sale transactions, and such revenue is recognized as services are performed pursuant to paragraph ASC 985-605-25.

 
24

 

For hardware transactions where software is incidental, the Company does not apply separate accounting guidance to the hardware and software elements.  The Company applies the provisions of the FASB ASC 985-605-15 Software Revenue Recognition,  Per this guidance, if the software is considered not essential to the functionality of the hardware, then the hardware is not considered “software related” and is excluded from the scope of ASC 985-605-15.  Such sale of computer hardware is recognized as revenue on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed.

Remote hosting services, where VSOE is based upon consistent pricing charged to customers based on volumes and performance requirements on a stand-alone basis and substantive renewal terms, are recognized ratably over the contract term as the services are performed.  The remote hosting arrangements generally require the Company to perform one-time set-up activities and include a one-time set-up fee.  This one-time set-up fee is generally paid by the customer at contract execution.  The Company has determined that these set-up activities do not constitute a separate unit of accounting, and accordingly, the related set-up fees are recognized protractedly over the term of the contract.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with for the FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109 the FASB ASC 740, deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered.  Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The AFSB ASC also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, as defined in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2010, we do not have any liability for uncertain tax positions.  The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that the Company believes to be uncollectible.  We have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date.  Any unanticipated change in one of those customers’ credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectability of amounts due from such customers could have a material effect on the results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Recent Issued Accounting Guidance

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for us with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for us with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 
25

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for us beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition.

On July 1, 2009, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB that changes the accounting and reporting for non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests are to be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control are to be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to a non-controlling interest is to be included in net income and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, is to be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in net income. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for us beginning July 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of these statements will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Net Sales

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, our revenue was $683,075, a decrease of approximately 20.3% from our revenue of $856,903 for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of system integration sales.

 
26

 

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales was $364,832 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, compared with $596,395 for the same period in 2009. This decrease was in line with a decrease in net sales for the first quarter of 2010.

Gross Profit

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, gross profit was $318,243, representing an increase of 22.2% against $260,508 for the comparable period in 2009. This increase was in line with an increase in software sales for the quarter, which has a higher gross profit ratio than system integration sales.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $743,719 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $622,868 for the comparable period in 2009, representing an increase of 19.4%.  The overall increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to increases in general and administrative expenses during the period.

Selling expenses were $223,160 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, representing a decrease of 23.6% against $292,052 for the comparable period in 2009. This decrease was primarily due to our decreased advertising expenses and sales efforts to market our ASP (Application Service Provider) services “For-online,” our IT outsourcing services, as well as our EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) services “For-eMarket”, “ForCRM” and “ForOA”.

Research and development expenses were $179,047 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, compared with $113,403 for the same period in 2009. The approximate 57.9% increase was attributable to our efforts in new projects in the first quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses were $341,512 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $217,413 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 57.1%. The increase was primarily due to increased employee training fees and increased office rent in the first quarter of 2010.

Operating Profit (Loss)

We recorded an operating loss $425,476 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to an operating loss of $362,360 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, representing an increase in operating loss of 17.4%. The increase in operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was due to our increased operating expenses from $622,868 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 to $743,719 for the comparable period in 2010.

Other Income

Our other income is mainly derived from a value added tax (“VAT”) refund associated with our software product sales.  Software sales in China are subject to a 17% VAT.  However, companies that develop their own software and have the software registered are generally entitled to a refund of the VAT.  If the net amount of the VAT payable exceeds 3% of software product sales, then the excess portion of the VAT is refundable to us upon our application to tax authority.  This policy is effective until 2010. Our other income was $512,899 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $81,899 for the same period in 2009, representing an increase of 528% in other income.  The significant increase was a result of increase in VAT refund that we received from software product sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we recorded a net profit of $77,946, or basic and diluted profit of $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $262,305, or basic and diluted loss of $0.06 per share, for the same period of 2009. Our capital requirements are primarily working capital requirements related to costs of hardware for network solution projects and costs associated with the expansion of our business. In order to minimize our working capital requirements, we generally obtain from our hardware vendors payment terms that are timed to permit us to receive payment from our customers for the hardware before our payments to our hardware vendors are due.  However, we sometimes obtain less favorable payment terms from our customers, thereby increasing our working capital requirements.  We have historically financed our working capital and other financing requirements through careful management of our billing cycle and, to a limited extent, bank loans.

 
Our accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2010 was $3,007,101, as compared to $2,434,557 at December 31, 2009. The increase of $572,444 was due to the receipt of two accounts receivable from two of our major customers.

Our inventory position at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $1,048,234, as compared to $935,566 at December 31, 2009. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the number of projects that were not completed at the end of the quarter and remain work-in-progress (WIP).

We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2010 with a cash position of $1,206,815. We had a negative operating cash flow of $1,103,962, primarily due to an increase of approximate $544,075 in account receivables. The increase in account receivables should have a positive impact on our future cash flow.

Although our revenues and operating results for any period are not necessarily indicative of future periods, we anticipate that our available funds and cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures and business expansion through 2010.  We may need to raise additional funds in the future, however, in order to fund acquisitions, develop new or enhanced services or products, respond to competitive pressures to compete successfully for larger projects involving higher levels of hardware purchases, or if our business otherwise grows more rapidly than we currently predict.  If we do need to raise additional funds, we expect to raise those funds through new issuances of shares of our equity securities in one or more public offerings or private placements, or through credit facilities extended by lending institutions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2010, we had not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements with any individuals or entities.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2010, we had commitments under non-cancelable operating leases requiring annual minimum rental payments as follows:

Date
 
Rent Payment Due
 
April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010
  $ 461,778  
April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2011
    -  

Related Party Transactions

The Company, from time to time, received from or made repayments to one major stockholder who is also a management member of the Company. The amounts due from/to this stockholder do not bear any interest and do not have clearly defined terms of repayment.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amounts due to this stockholder were $513,970 and $415,078 respectively, representing advances from this stockholder.

ITEM 3.          QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.


Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.  There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.  Based upon our evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS AFFECTING OUR OPERATING RESULTS AND COMMON STOCK

In addition to the other information in this report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating our business and our future prospects:

POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT COULD AFFECT OUR INDUSTRY IN GENERAL AND OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION IN PARTICULAR

Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Communist Party has been the governing political party in the PRC. The highest bodies of leadership are the Politburo of the Communist Party, the Central Committee and the National People's Congress. The State Council, which is the highest institution of government administration, reports to the National People's Congress and has under its supervision various commissions, agencies and ministries, including The Ministry of Information Industry, the telecommunications regulatory body of the Chinese government. Since the late 1970s, the Chinese government has been reforming the Chinese economic system. Although we believe that economic reform and macroeconomic measures adopted by the Chinese government have had and will continue to have a positive effect on economic development in China, there can be no assurance that the economic reform strategy will not from time to time be modified or revised. Such modifications or revisions, if any, could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China and investment in the Internet and the telecommunications industry in China. Such developments could reduce, perhaps significantly, the demand for our products and services. There is no guarantee that the Chinese government will not impose other economic or regulatory controls that would have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, changes in political, economic and social conditions in China, adjustments in policies of the Chinese government or changes in laws and regulations could affect our industry in general and our competitive position in particular.

THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUDGETARY POLICY, PARTICULARLY THE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO SUSTAIN THE GROWTH OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IN CHINA

Virtually all of our large customers are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the government of China.  Accordingly, their business strategies, capital expenditure budgets and spending plans are largely decided in accordance with government policies, which, in turn, are determined on a centralized basis at the highest level by the National Development and Reform Commission of China. As a result, the growth of our business is heavily dependent on government policies for telecommunications and Internet infrastructure. Insufficient government allocation of funds to sustain the growth of China's telecommunications industries in the future could reduce the demand for our products and services and have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK DUE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE EXCHANGE RATE BETWEEN U.S. DOLLARS AND RENMINBI

The functional currency of our operations is Renminbi (“RMB”) and our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars (“US$”). As a result, we are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies. On January 1, 1994, a unitary exchange rate system was implemented in China and the official bank exchange rate for translation of RMB to US$ was set to US$1 to RMB8.28. However, in July 2005, the Chinese government announced that it would no longer peg its currency exclusively to US$ but instead would switch to a managed floating exchange rate based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies determined by the People’s Bank of China. The exchange rate of RMB to US$ changed from RMB8.28 to RMB8.11 in late July 2005, and the exchange rate at March 31, 2010 is RMB6.85. Any future devaluation of the RMB against the US$ may have an adverse effect on our reported net income.  As our operations are conducted in the PRC, substantially all our revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB.  In general, our exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited.  However, the value in our shares may be affected by the foreign exchange rate between the US$ and the RMB because the value of our business is effectively denominated in RMB, while our shares are traded inUS$. Furthermore, a decline in the value of RMB  could reduce the US$ equivalent of the value of the earnings from, and our investment in, our subsidiaries in the PRC; while an increase in the value of the RMB may require us to exchange more US$ into Renminbi to meet the working capital requirements of our subsidiaries in China.  Depreciation of the value of the US$ will also reduce the value of the cash we hold in US$, which we may use for purposes of future acquisitions or other business expansion.  We actively monitor our exposure to these risks and adjust our cash position in the RMB and the US$ when we believe such adjustments will reduce risks.

GENERAL RISK OF FINANCING

In order for the Company to meet its continuing cash requirements and to successfully implement its growth strategy, the Company will need to rely on increased future revenues and/or will require additional financing. In the event additional financing is required, no assurances can be given that such financing will be available in the amount required or, if available, that it can be on terms satisfactory to the Company.
