COVENANT GROUP OF CHINA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Covenant Group of China Inc. (Covenant Group or the Company) (FKA: Everest Resources Corp.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 8, 2006. On December 24, 2009, Covenant Group entered into and closed on a share exchange agreement with Covenant Group Holdings Inc. (Covenant Holdings), a privately held company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, Covenant Group acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Covenant Holdings in exchange for 9,380,909 shares of common stock.  Prior to the acquisition of Covenant Holdings, the Company was in the development stage and had minimal business operations.

Covenant Holdings was formed in the State of Delaware on June 10, 2009 to acquire equity interests in private Chinese operating companies and provide these companies with strategic support.  Covenant Holdings had no significant activity from June 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009 except for two acquisitions.

On June 24, 2009, Covenant Holdings entered into a stock acquisition and reorganization agreement with Hainan Jien Intelligent Engineering Co. Ltd. (Jien or Hainan Jien) and its stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Covenant Holdings acquired 100% of the common stock of Jien, representing 100% of its outstanding equity interests, in exchange for 1,350,000 shares of a public shell's common stock, which would acquire all of the rights and obligations of Covenant Holdings.  The acquisition stock price was initially valued at a provisional amount of $2 per share, which was the stock price for Covenant Holdings’ prior private capital raises. The Company changed its valuation stock price to $1.76 per share, which was determined by the volume weighted average stock price for the first day of trading of the Company’s common stock plus all private sales of Covenant Holdings’ common stock prior to the completion of the reverse merger with the Company.  Jien was incorporated in Hainan Province, People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1999.  Jien specializes in the design and installation of security and surveillance infrastructure to protect financial institutions and government agencies, and it also implements intelligent construction projects for commercial customers.

On June 24, 2009, Covenant Holdings entered into a stock acquisition and reorganization agreement with Chongqing Sysway Information Technology Co. Ltd. (Chongqing Sysway) and its stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Covenant Holdings acquired 100% of the common stock of Chongqing Sysway, representing 100% of its outstanding equity interests, in exchange for 1,400,000 shares of a public shell's common stock, which would acquire all of the rights and obligations of Covenant Holdings.  The acquisition stock price was initially valued at a provisional amount of $2 per share, which was the stock price for Covenant Holdings’ prior private capital raises. The Company changed its valuation stock price to $1.76 per share, which was determined by the volume weighted average stock price for the first day of trading of the Company’s common stock plus all private sales of Covenant Holdings’ common stock prior to the completion of the reverse merger with the Company.   Chongqing Sysway was incorporated in Chongqing City, Sichuan Province, PRC, in 1999 as a State Owned Enterprise (SOE). Since 2005, Chongqing Sysway has operated as a private enterprise mainly engaged in systems integration services, including computer system installation, website design, and system firewall setup, particularly for the tobacco industry.

For accounting purposes, the effective acquisition date of Jien and Chongqing Sysway is deemed to be July 1, 2009 as the results of any activity from June 24, 2009 through June 30, 2009 were deemed to be immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

On December 24, 2009, Covenant Holdings entered into a share exchange agreement with Covenant Group.  Covenant Group agreed to exchange 9,380,909 shares of its common stock, on a one-for-one basis, for each share of Covenant Holdings shares held of record on the date of the closing. Concurrent with the share exchange agreement, one of Covenant Group’s shareholders agreed to cancel 4,500,000 shares out of 6,600,000 of the total issued and outstanding shares of Covenant Group in exchange for the immediate payment of $100,000.  He further agreed to cancel an additional 500,000 shares upon Covenant Holdings’ payment of the principal due on a note issued to the shareholder in the amount of $190,000, which, together with the $100,000 payment, represented the consideration for the acquisition of the shell company.  As of December 31, 2009, $90,000 of the $190,000 note payable was paid. During the first quarter of 2010, the 500,000 shares were cancelled and the Company issued 300,000 shares to this shareholder in lieu of the payment for the note payable of $100,000. In May of 2010, the Company and this shareholder agreed to revise and reduce the 300,000 shares to 70,000 shares. The share exchange was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," since the Covenant Holdings shareholders own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock immediately following the share exchange.  Covenant Holdings was deemed to be the accounting acquiror in the reverse acquisition.  Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that were reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange were those of Covenant Holdings and were recorded at the historical cost basis of Covenant Holdings.  The consolidated financial statements after completion of the share exchange would include the assets and liabilities of the Company and Covenant Holdings, and the historical operations of Covenant Holdings and operations of the Company from the closing date of the share exchange.  As a result of the issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred on the date of the consummation of the share exchange.  
 
The Company's Board of Directors decided on April 30, 2010, to terminate and rescind the Acquisition Agreement with Chongqing Sysway due to several breaches of the agreement by Chongqing Sysway, including the failure of the prior owners of Chongqing Sysway to repay a dividend paid to them by Chongqing Sysway in excess of that permitted under the agreement and under China law and the failure of Chongqing Sysway and its prior owners to cooperate with the Company in the preparation of its financial statement disclosures required under United States securities laws. As a result of the termination and rescission of the agreement, the Company transferred all of the shares of capital stock of Chongqing Sysway to the prior owners of Chongqing Sysway, and the 1,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued in exchange for the shares of capital stock of Chongqing Sysway were returned to the Company and treated as treasury shares. The effect of this transaction was to return the Company, Chongqing Sysway, and the prior owners of the capital stock of Chongqing Sysway to their status prior to the completion of the acquisition by the Company of the capital stock of Chongqing Sysway on December 24, 2009. The termination and rescission of the acquisition agreement resulted in the activities of Sysway being reflected on the financial statements as discontinued operations (see Note 18).
 
On January 12, 2010, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary – Pandaz LLC, a Delaware LLC (Pandaz Delaware). On January 13, 2010, Pandaz Delaware entered into an asset purchase agreement with The Pandaz LLC, a Nevada LLC, for certain assets and intellectual property associated with an automobile dealer and customer interface, vehicle search function and automobile purchasing website that the company is tentatively looking to implement in China.  The total purchase consideration was $25,000, of which, $10,000 was paid as the forgiveness of a bridge loan that the Company provided to the seller on January 7, 2010 and $15,000 was paid as a one-time cash payment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Principle of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Covenant Holdings, Covenant Group, Pandaz Delaware and Jien. All intercompany transactions and account balances are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Operating results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates
 
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts and Retentions Receivable
 
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.  Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.  Based on historical collection activity, the Company had allowances of $8,730 at September 30, 2010 and $78,356 at December 31, 2009.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had retentions receivable for product quality assurance of $387,734. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $490,879 of retentions receivable. The retention rate varies from 3% to 5% of the sales price, with variable terms from 1 year to 3 years. $238,505 and $344,428 of the retentions receivable at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, are current and due within one year; $149,229 and $146,451 of the retentions receivable are treated as long term assets at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Inventories

The Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.  Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with 5% salvage value and estimated lives ranging from 3 to 25 years as follows:
 
Building 
20 - 25 years
Leasehold improvements 
Shorter of lease term or 10 years
Vehicle 
5 - 10 years
Office Equipment 
3 - 5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
 
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.  Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
 
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amount of identifiable assets acquired and the liability assumed. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement No. 142”), codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return, and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated.

Warranties

The Company offers a warranty to its customers on its products for a period from three months to three years depending on the contract terms negotiated with the customers; most warranty terms are one year. The Company accrues for warranty costs based on estimates of the costs that may be incurred under its warranty obligations. The warranty expense and related accrual is included in the Company's selling expenses and other payables respectively, and is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of sold equipment, its estimates of anticipated rates of warranty claims, costs per claim and estimated support labor costs and the associated overhead.  The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.  The Company’s warranty expense was immaterial for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” codified in FASB ASC Topic 740, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (codified in FASB ASC Topic 740) on June 10, 2009.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48.  As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or stockholders equity.  When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Covenant Holdings had a US net operating loss of $494,280 at September 30, 2010 and $690,724 at December 31, 2009.  A 100% valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of its realization.

Covenant Group of China and Pandaz Delaware had US net operating losses of $413,851 and $39,413 at September 30, 2010, respectively.

Jien is qualified as a small business in the construction industry in the PRC.  The Company is subject to a 1.76% and a 3% tax rate on net sales for 2010 and 2009, respectively. Since the tax is based on sales, under US GAAP, it is not an income tax.  Accordingly, $76,143 and $30,419 were recorded as general and administrative expense for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010, respectively; $51,602 was recorded as general and administrative expense for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2009.

The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory rates to the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate for the nine and three months ended at September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2010 was $454,217. The change in the total valuation for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was an increase of $219,371.  The deferred tax asset arose from the net operating loss generated at the US parent company level. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible.  Management considered projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  The value of the deferred tax assets was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the current uncertainty of the future realization of the deferred tax assets.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605).  Revenue is recognized when services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.
 
The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the supply and installation of surveillance and security equipment and systems.  The two deliverables do not meet the separation criteria under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF No. 00-21) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605).  Revenue from the supply and installation of surveillance and security equipment and systems are recognized when the installation is completed and the customer acceptance is received. For contracts that are partially completed at a reporting period, the company recognizes revenue based on percentage of completion method as work on the contract progresses. The income recognized is the percentage of total estimated income that incurred costs to date bear to estimated total costs after giving effect of costs to complete based on the most recent information. The customer signs off on a progress report to indicate acceptance of the percentage recognized. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods and services, net of value-added tax (VAT).  Jien became a general tax payer since February 1, 2010 so that all of the Company’s products sold in the PRC are subject to a fixed VAT rate of 17% of the gross sales price, and can be offset by VAT incurred by the Company on its purchase. Prior to February 2010, the Company was a small business and subject to a fixed VAT rate 4% in 2008 and 3% in 2009, which cannot be offset by VAT incurred in purchase.
 
Only the sale of goods is subject to VAT. Revenue from installation contracts is subject to a 3% business tax, which is reflected in the cost of goods sold.
 
 
11

 
 
Most of the major contracts are bundled with post-installation service for the duration of 1 to 3 years depending on customers’ requests.  During this period, customers are entitled to exchange parts if they are found to be not working in line with specifications or if there is quality problem.
 
The Company subcontracts all its major projects to third party subcontractors who supply both the equipments and parts and provide installation service. Back-to-back warranty from third party subcontractors is provided for both products and services.  Since warranty service is performed by subcontractors, there is no substantial performance obligation once the installation is completed and accepted by the customers.  Accordingly, the earnings process is considered completed upon completion of project. In cases where the subcontractors provide a shorter warranty period than that requested by the customers, the Company services the customers itself as the Company has a core team of engineers and technicians to handle this part of the service.  In such cases, the warranty service is not deemed to be a separate deliverable.
 
There is no general right of return indicated in the contracts. If any equipment delivered does not fit the required specifications, customers are entitled to an exchange for the correct item; or if the item is not functioning properly, the Company is responsible for fixing it or replacing it with a new item, which is usually covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and/or the third party subcontractor’s warranty. Customers are not entitled to a refund.
 
Because there is no general right of return and the software portion of a typical contract accounts for an insignificant part of the contract, the Company’s revenue arrangements do not contain multiple deliverables.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, labor costs, and related overhead, which are directly attributable to the production of the service.  Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of goods sold.
 
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similarly computed, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted net earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  At September 30, 2010, the Company has outstanding warrants with an anti-dilutive feature; therefore, the basic and diluted EPS are the same.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of its clients' financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

The operations of the Company are located in the PRC.  Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” codified in FASB ASC Topic 230, cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies.  As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
 
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: 

 
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
 
 
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
     
 
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815. 
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any financial instruments that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.
 
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD”). The Company’s functional currency is the USD, while the Company’s wholly-owned Chinese subsidiaries’ functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into USD for balance sheet accounts using the current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date. 
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company uses SFAS 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220). Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. Comprehensive income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
 
13

 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” codified in FASB ASC Topic 718. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. 

Segment Reporting

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," codified in FASB ASC Topic 280, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.  The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company's financial statements as substantially all of the Company's operations are conducted in one industry segment.  The Company consists of one reportable business segment.  Most of the Company's assets are located in the PRC and its principal market is in the PRC, except US banks accounts for Covenant Holdings, Covenant Group of China, and Pandaz Delaware, and $25,000 of intangible assets that belong to Pandaz Delaware.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
 
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 on ASC 605, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangement – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 amended guidance related to multiple-element arrangements, which requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The consensus eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances. All entities must adopt the guidance no later than the beginning of their first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Entities may elect to adopt the guidance through either prospective application for revenue arrangements entered into, or materially modified, after the effective date or through retrospective application to all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of ASU 2009-13 on our financial position and results of operations.
  
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14 on ASC 985, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (ASU 2009-14). ASU 2009-14 amended guidance that is expected to significantly affect how entities account for revenue arrangements that contain both hardware and software elements. As a result, many tangible products that rely on software will be accounted for under the revised multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance, rather than the software revenue recognition guidance. The revised guidance must be adopted by all entities no later than fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. An entity must select the same transition method and same period for the adoption of both this guidance and the revisions to the multiple-element arrangements guidance noted above. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of ASU 2009-14 on our financial position and results of operations.
 
In April 2010 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC Topic 718), Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This Update provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency  of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC Topic 718 will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  This update provides amendments to ASC Topic 820 that will provide more robust disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers etween Levels 1, 2, and 3. This standard is 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 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. 
 
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-05, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC Topic 718), Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation . This update codifies Emerging Issues Task Force D-110. This standard is not currently applicable to the Company.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU N0. 2010-01, Equity (ASC Topic 505), Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash.  The update clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in earnings per share and is not considered a stock dividend for purposes of ASC Topic 505 and Topic 260, Earnings Per Share . This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. This standard is not currently applicable to the Company.

The fair value of the consideration transferred was initially valued at a provisional amount of $2 per share, which was the stock price for Covenant Holdings’ prior private capital raises. The Company subsequently changed its valuation stock price to $1.76 per share, which was determined by the volume weighted average stock price for the first day of trading of the Company’s common stock plus all private sales of Covenant Holdings’ common stock prior to the completion of the reverse merger with the Company.  The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill.
 
The Company's Board of Directors decided on April 30, 2010 to terminate and rescind the Acquisition Agreement with Chongqing Sysway due to several breaches of the agreement by Chongqing Sysway, including the failure of the prior owners of Chongqing Sysway to repay a dividend paid to them by Chongqing Sysway in excess of that permitted under the agreement and under China law and the failure of Chongqing Sysway and its prior owners to cooperate with the Company in the preparation of its financial statement disclosures required under United States securities laws.

16. STATUTORY RESERVES

Pursuant to the corporate law of the PRC effective January 1, 2006, PRC subsidiaries of the Company are required to maintain a statutory reserve by appropriating from its after-tax profit before declaration or payment of dividends. The statutory reserve represents restricted retained earnings, in which dividends cannot be distributed.

Surplus reserve fund

The PRC subsidiaries of the Company are required to transfer 10% of their net income, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the Company’s registered capital.  The Company had $67,737 in this reserve at September 30, 2010.

The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
  
Common welfare fund

Common welfare fund is a voluntary fund to which the Company can elect to transfer 5% to 10% of its net income.  The Company did not make any contribution to this fund for the period since business inception through September 30, 2010.

This fund can only be utilized on capital items for the collective benefit of the Company’s employees, such as construction of dormitories, cafeteria facilities, and other staff welfare facilities. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation.

Pursuant to the "Circular of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) on the Issue of Corporate Financial Management after the Corporate Law Enforced" (No.67 [2006]), effective on April 1, 2006, issued by the MOF, companies transferred the balance of SCWF (Statutory Common Welfare Fund) as of December 31, 2005 to Statutory Surplus Reserve. Any deficit in the SCWF was charged in turn to Statutory Surplus Reserve, additional paid-in capital and undistributed profit of previous years. If a deficit still remains, it should be transferred to retained earnings and be reduced to zero by a transfer from after tax profit of following years. At December 31, 2005, the Company did not have a deficit in the SCWF.

We are a holding company primarily engaged in the business of acquiring equity interests in private companies based and operating in the PRC and providing these companies with support, including administrative, legal, accounting and marketing assistance, and an infusion of capital with the goal of growing such companies’ operations and profits.  We believe that equity investments in China present one of the most attractive global investment opportunities available in the coming four to seven years.  We plan to focus on growth company acquisitions located in China.
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 8, 2006 under the name Everest Resources Corp. as a development stage corporation that intended to engage in the exploration of gold.  On December 24, 2009, we changed our name to Covenant Group of China Inc. and acquired all of the capital stock of Covenant Holdings, a privately held company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and engaged in the business of acquiring equity interests in private Chinese operating companies and providing these companies with strategic support.  The acquisition of the capital stock of Covenant Holdings was accomplished on December 24, 2009, pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement by and among the Company, Covenant Holdings and all of the shareholders of Covenant Holdings.  Upon the closing of the share exchange, each of the Covenant Holdings shareholders exchanged their respective shares of Covenant Holdings, on a one-for-one basis, for 9,380,909 shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result of the share exchange, Covenant Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Prior to our acquisition of Covenant Holdings, we were in the development stage and had minimal business operations.  We had no interest in any property, but had the right to conduct mineral exploration activities on 471 acres located in southern British Columbia, Canada pursuant to an agreement with the former majority shareholder of the Company, Gary Sidhu.  In connection with the acquisition of Covenant Holdings, Mr. Sidhu terminated the Company’s mineral exploration rights, and he agreed to surrender 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $100,000 and a promissory note from the Company in the principal amount of $190,000, $90,000 of which the Company has prepaid.  Mr. Sidhu surrendered 4,500,000 shares of our common stock and agreed to surrender his remaining 500,000 shares upon full payment of the promissory note by the Company.  On March 25, 2010, Mr. Sidhu and the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which Mr. Sidhu agreed to cancel the promissory note and surrender his remaining 500,000 shares in exchange for the Company issuing to him 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  On May 13, 2010, Mr. Sidhu and the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which Mr. Sidhu agreed to reduce the number of shares that he will receive from 300,000 to 70,000.  See “Prospectus Summary” in this prospectus.
 
There was no significant activity from June 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009, except for the acquisitions of our two operating subsidiaries, Hainan Jien and Chongqing Sysway.  On June 24, 2009, Covenant Holdings entered into a stock acquisition and reorganization agreement with Hainan Jien and its stockholders.  Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Covenant Holdings acquired 100% of the capital stock of Jien, representing 100% of the company’s outstanding equity interests, in exchange for 1,350,000 shares of a public shell’s common stock.  For purposes of this acquisition, the common stock of the shell company that would acquire all of the rights and obligations of Covenant Holdings was valued at $1.76 per share, which was determined by the volume weighted average stock price for the first day of trading of the Company’s common stock plus all private sales of Covenant Holdings’ common stock prior to the completion of the reverse merger with the Company.  Jien was incorporated in Hainan Province, China in 1999.  Jien specializes in the design and installation of security and surveillance infrastructure to protect financial institutions and government agencies, and it also implements “intelligent construction” projects for commercial customers.
 
On June 24, 2009, Covenant Holdings entered into a stock acquisition and reorganization agreement with Chongqing Sysway and its stockholders.  Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Covenant Holdings acquired 100% of the capital stock of Sysway, representing 100% of the company’s outstanding equity interests, in exchange for 1,400,000 shares of a public shell’s common stock.  For purposes of this acquisition, the common stock of the shell company that would acquire all of the rights and obligations of Covenant Holdings was valued at $1.76 per share, which was determined in the same manner as in the acquisition of Hainan Jien.   Chongqing Sysway was incorporated in 1999 in Chongqing City, Sichuan Province, PRC, as a State Owned Enterprise (“SOE”).  Since 2005 Chongqing Sysway has operated as a private enterprise mainly engaged in systems integration services, including computer systems installation, website design, and system firewall setup, particularly for the tobacco industry.
 
Under the stock acquisition and reorganization agreement between the Company and Hainan Jien, the Company agreed to make a capital contribution of $2,500,000 to Hainan Jien.  On August 27, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Hainan Jien and its former shareholders pursuant to which Hainan Jien and such shareholders have agreed to arrange for the official transfer of the shares of Hainan Jien from such shareholders to the Company in the PRC, which was completed on November 4, 2010.  The Company has paid $150,000 to such shareholders and will invest $350,000 in Hainan Jien upon Jien’s approval from SAFE to open a foreign exchange account in China.  The $150,000 payment to the former shareholders of Hainan Jien is required under PRC law in order to maintain the existing registered capital of Hainan Jien.  In addition, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to invest an additional $825,000 in Hainan Jien on or before October 31, 2010 and another $1,175,000 on or before January 31, 2011.  As a result of administrative delays in the share registration process, Covenant Holdings, Jien and the former Jien shareholders are working amicably to fund Jien and increase Jien’s registered capital as close as possible to the envisioned funding schedule.

The former shareholders and Hainan Jien have agreed to assist the Company with increasing Hainan Jien’s registered capital with PRC governmental authorities in accordance with the Company’s investments.  The parties have agreed that in the event the Company fails to make such capital contributions to Hainan Jien, the former shareholders will have no right to have the shares of stock of Hainan Jien returned to them.
 
The Company intends to rely on a private placement of convertible preferred stock and other private offerings to provide the funding for the remaining $2,000,000 that the Company has agreed to contribute to Hainan Jien. Additionally, to the extent the Company has the ability to sell shares under the Equity Credit Agreement at or prior to the time that any obligation to make capital contributions to Jien remains outstanding, the Company may use the sale of shares under the Equity Credit Agreement to provide such funding, though it is too early for the Company to determine how much, if any, funds will be accessed via the Equity Credit Agreement for this purpose.

Rescission of our Acquisition of Chongqing Sysway
 
On April 30, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to terminate and rescind the stock acquisition and reorganization agreement with Chongqing Sysway due to several breaches of such agreement by Chongqing Sysway, including the failure of the prior owners of Chongqing to repay a dividend paid to them by Chongqing Sysway in excess of that permitted under the agreement and under China law and the failure of Chongqing Sysway and its prior owners to cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the financial statement disclosures required under United States securities laws.
 
As a result of the termination and rescission of the agreement, the Company has transferred all of the shares of capital stock of Chongqing Sysway to the prior owners of Chongqing Sysway and the 1,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued in exchange for the shares of capital stock of Chongqing Sysway have been returned to the Company and treated as treasury shares.  The intent of this transaction is to return the Company, Chongqing Sysway, and the prior owners of the capital stock of Chongqing Sysway to their status prior to the completion of the acquisition by the Company of the capital stock of Chongqing Sysway on December 24, 2009.
 
The assets and liabilities of Chongqing Sysway and the results of operations of Chongqing Sysway are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as discontinued operations.  As a result, the consolidated results of operations of Covenant Group of China for the three months ended September 30, 2009 reflect the results of operations of Jien but exclude the results of operations of Chongqing Sysway as if the rescission of Chongqing Sysway acquisition occurred on July 1, 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of our 2009  consolidated audited annual  financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
Principle of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Covenant Holdings, Covenant Group of China, Pandaz Delaware and Hainan Jien and all intercompany transactions and account balances are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.  Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounts Receivable and Retentions Receivable
 
The Company’s policy is to maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.  Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.  We have retentions receivable for product quality assurance; our retention rate varies from 3% to 5% of the sales price with variable terms from 1 year to 3 years.
 
 
26

 
 
Inventories
 
The Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first in, first out basis.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.  Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with 5% salvage value and estimated lives ranging from 3 to 25 years as follows:
 
Buildings
20-25 years
      Leasehold improvements
Shorter of lease term or 10 years
Vehicles
5-10 years
               Office Equipment
3-5 years
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amount of identifiable assets acquired and the liability assumed.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Statement No. 142”), codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist.  Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level.  An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis.  A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return, and projections of realizations and costs to produce.  Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605).  Revenue is recognized when services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as unearned revenue.
 
The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the supply and installation of surveillance and security equipment and systems.  The two deliverables do not meet the separation criteria under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (EITF No. 00-21) (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605).  Revenue from the supply and installation of surveillance and security equipment and systems are recognized when the installation is completed and the customer acceptance is received. For contracts that are partially completed at the end of a reporting period, the company recognizes revenue based on a percentage of completion method as work on the contract progresses. The income recognized is the percentage of total estimated income that incurred costs to date bear to estimated total costs after giving effect of costs to complete based on the most recent information. The customer signs off on a progress report to indicate acceptance of the percentage recognized.
 
 
27

 

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods and services, net of value-added tax (VAT).  Jien became a general taxpayer on February 1, 2010 so that all of the Company’s products sold in the PRC are subject to a fixed VAT of 17% of the gross sales price, which can be offset by VAT incurred by Jien on its purchases. Prior to February 2010, the Company was a small business and subject to a fixed VAT rate 4% in 2008 and 3% in 2009, which cannot be offset by VAT incurred on purchases. Only the sale of goods is subject to VAT. Revenue from installation contracts is subject to a 3% business tax, which is reflected in the cost of goods sold.
 
Most of the major contracts are bundled with a post-installation service for duration of 1 to 3 years depending on customers’ requests.  During this period, customers are entitled to exchange parts if they are found to be not working in line with specifications or if there is quality problem.
 
The Company subcontracts all its major projects to third party subcontractors who supply both the equipments and parts and provide installation service. Back-to-back warranty from third party subcontractors is provided for both products and services.  Since the warranty service is covered by subcontractors, there is no substantial performance obligation once the installation is completed and accepted by the customers.  Accordingly, the earnings process is considered completed upon completion of project. In cases where subcontractors provide a shorter warranty period than that requested by customers, Jien will service the customers itself as Jien has a core team of engineers and technicians to handle this part of the service.  In such cases, the warranty service is not deemed to be a separate deliverable.
 
There is no general right of return indicated in the contracts. If any equipment delivered does not fit the required specifications, customers are entitled to exchange for the correct item; or if the item is not functioning properly, the Company is responsible for fixing it or replacing it with a new item, which is usually covered by a manufacturer’s warranty and/or the third party subcontractor’s warranty. Customers are not entitled to a refund. Because there is no general right of return and the software portion of a typical contract amounts to an insignificant part of the contract, the Company’s revenue arrangements do not contain multiple deliverables.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, labor costs, and related overhead that are directly attributable to the production of the service.  Write-down of inventory to lower of cost or market is also recorded in cost of goods sold.
 
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions and Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“USD”).  The Company’s functional currency is the USD, while the Company’s wholly owned Chinese subsidiary’s functional currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”).  The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into USD for balance sheet accounts using the current exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year.  The translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, captioned accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.  There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company uses SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220).   Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.
 
 
28

 
 
Segment Reporting
 
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 280), requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.  The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
 
SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company’s financial statements as substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in one industry segment.  The Company consists of one reportable business segment.  Most of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC, except US bank accounts for Covenant Holdings, Covenant Group of China, and Pandas Delaware, and $25,000 of intangible assets that belong to Pandaz Delaware.

NET REVENUES

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $1,695,657, as compared to net revenues of $1,809,815 for the comparative period of 2009, a decrease of $114,158, or approximately 6%. The  decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to contracts with smaller amounts Jien obtained during the three months ending September 30 2010 even though the number of the contracts increased compared to the same period of 2009. Of its larger projects during the three months ended September 30, 2009, Jien recognized $630,000 from a project with Hainan Province Medical School and $600,000 from a real estate company project due to its completion. .
 
COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenue includes material costs, labor costs, and related overhead, which are directly attributable to our provided services and products. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenues amounted to $1,260,321, or approximately 74% of net revenues, as compared to cost of revenues of $1,440,937, or approximately 80% of net revenues, for the comparative period of 2009.

The decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was attributable to our efficient control on labor cost and material cost despite overall price inflation in China. Though the cost of each project varies based on the nature of each project, Jien was able to internalize work on projects as opposed to selectively outsourcing work, which has resulted in cost savings.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $435,336, as compared to $368,878 for the comparative period of year 2009, an increase of $66,458 or approximately 18%. Gross profit margin was 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 20% for the comparative period of 2009. This increase in gross profit margin was due to the relatively lower cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 for the reasons described above.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $341,639 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $312,122 for the comparative period of 2009, an increase of $29,517 or 9%.  The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased expenses in audit, legal and consulting fees arising from the Company being a public company as a result of the reverse merger at the end of 2009.

The operating expense for Jien was approximately $183,948 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $167,647 for the same period of 2009, a slight increase of $16,301or 10%. This increase was mainly attributable to a bad debt write off of $79,000 but partially offset by management’s cost savings realized on traveling and entertainment, as well as the decreased tax rate on net sales from 3% in 2009 to 1.76% in 2010.

NET INCOME

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had net income of $11,195 as compared to net income of $57,310 for the comparative period of 2009, a decrease of $46,115, or approximately 80%. This decrease in net income was mainly due to a non-cash interest expense of approximately $70,000 resulting from the amortization of the fair value of the warrants that were attached to the short-term loans.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the comparative period of 2009
 
The following table presents the actual consolidated results of operations of Covenant Group of China for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the pro forma consolidated results of operations of Covenant Group of China for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as if the acquisition of Jien occurred on January 1, 2009, indicated as a percentage of net sales.  The pro forma consolidated results of operations of Covenant Group of China for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 exclude the results of operations of Chongqing Sysway.

NET REVENUES

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $4,672,677, as compared to net revenues of $4,835,602 for the comparative period of 2009, a decrease of $162,925, or approximately 3%. Despite the slight decrease, Jien obtained new contracts from government agencies in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, such as the projects with the General Office of Peoples Government of Haikou Municipality, JingRui Real Estate Development Company, Government Affair Center, Haikou City Prison.. We recognized revenue by using the percentage of completion method for each project, which was determined based on the actual cost spent in proportion to the total estimated cost. The progress of the project usually proceeds faster for the beginning stage of the project.  For example, for the Hainan Province Medical School contract, we recognized approximately $1.2 million of revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 when the project was 65% completed.  Comparatively, during the nine months ending September 30, 2010, we only recognized approximately $0.4 million for this project.

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenue includes material costs, labor costs, and related overhead, which are directly attributable to our provided services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenues amounted to $3,561,711, or approximately 76% of net revenues, as compared to cost of revenues of $3,741,556, or approximately 77% of net revenues, for the comparative period of 2009. The decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue was attributable to controls on labor costs and selectively outsourcing certain projects.. 
 
GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,110,996, as compared to $1,094,046 for the comparative period of year 2009, an increase of $16,920 or approximately 2%. Gross profit margin was 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 23% for the comparative period of 2009. This slight increase in gross profit margin was due to the slight decrease in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue due to the cost controls outlined above.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $933,799 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $541,613 for the comparative period of 2009, an increase of $392,186 or 72%.  The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased expenses in audit, legal, and consulting fees arising from the Company being a public company as a result of the reverse merger at the end of 2009.

The operating expense for Jien was approximately $376,729 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $397,147 for the same period of 2009, a decrease of $ 20,418 or 5%. This decrease was mainly attributable to cost savings on travel, rental and entertainment expenses by Jien’s management, as well as the decrease of the tax rate on net sales from 3% in 2009 to 1.76 in 2010, partially offset by the increased bad debt write off. 
 
NET INCOME

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had net income of $56,057 as compared to net income of $548,476 for the comparative period of 2009, a decrease of $492,419, or approximately 90%. This decrease in net income was mainly due to increased expenses in audit, legal, and consulting fees arising from the Company being a public company, a bad debt allowance expense of $79,000, a one-time, non-cash expense of approximately $23,200 resulting from the settlement of a note payable to Mr. Sidhu in exchange for the issuance of 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and a non-cash interest expense of approximately $88,000 resulting from amortization of the fair value of the warrants that were attached to the short term loans.

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $757,792 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $78,131 for the comparative period of 2009. The decrease in net cash flow generated in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was mainly due to decreased net income, increased purchases of inventory, payments for accounts payable, and increased accounts receivable outstanding.  These effects are attributable to an increasingly competitive business environment, whereby competitors bid for new contracts on the basis of extending credit terms to customers, though credit terms from materials suppliers have remained fixed.  To remain competitive, Jien has extended more favorable payment terms to its customers while simultaneously managing the strict credit terms of its suppliers.  Jien plans to address this difficult business environment through continued cost reduction and negotiating better payment terms with its materials suppliers.
 
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $34,171 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0 in the comparative period of 2009. The cash was used mainly for the acquisition of fixed assets.
 
Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $1,503,514 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $485,934 in the comparative period of 2009.  The increased cash flow provided by financing activities was primarily due to a short-term bank loan received by Jien and three bridge loans obtained by the holding company in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
