ITEM 1. OUR BUSINESS
  
Our Corporate History
 
The Company, formerly named Supreme Realty Investments, Inc. (“Supreme”), is incorporated in the State of Nevada.   On August 4, 2006, Supreme was a public shell company and acquired Home System Group, Inc. (“HSGI”). HSGI was incorporated as a limited liability company in the British Virgin Islands on February 28, 2003.  HSGI was inactive until June 30, 2006 when HSGI acquired all the outstanding stock of Oceanic International (HK) Limited (“OCIL”).  OCIL is an operating company, organized under the laws of Hong Kong on June 23, 2004 for the purpose of distributing gas grills, home electronic appliances and bin racks. Since the ownership of HSGI and OCIL was the same, the merger was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, whereby HSGI recognized OCIL’s assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts. 

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the stockholders of HSGI received 8,000,000 (post reverse stock split) shares of Supreme’s common stock for 100% of HSGI’s outstanding common stock.  Following the merger, Supreme changed its name to Home System Group.  Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share exchange is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.  That is, the share exchange is equivalent to the issuance of stock by HSGI for the net monetary assets of Supreme, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure.  Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill was recorded.  Under reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse acquisition comparative historical financial statements of the legal acquirer, Supreme, are those of the legal acquiree which is considered to be the accounting acquirer, HSGI.  Shares and per share amounts stated have been adjusted to reflect the merger.

 On January 31, 2007, the Company acquired Holy (HK) Limited (“Holy”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oceanic Well Profit, Inc. (“Well Profit”).   Holy was incorporated in Hong Kong on September 26, 2006 for the purpose of being a holding company.  Holy was inactive until October 26, 2006 when Holy acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of Well Profit. Since the stockholders of Holy and Well Profit were related, and the control of the merged entity remained with the management of Well Profit, the merger was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, whereby Holy recognized Well Profit’s assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts.  The consolidated financial statements combine the historical financial statements of Holy and Well Profit as if the merger occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the stockholders of Holy received $3,000,000 and 42,500,000 shares of voting common stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of Holy’s outstanding common stock. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as an acquisition of HSGI by Holy and as a recapitalization of Holy. The historical financial statements prior to January 31, 2007 are those of Holy. Share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition.
 
On October 1, 2008, the Company purchased from the shareholders of Asia Forever Investment Limited (“Asia Forever”) all of Asia Forever’s outstanding stock for approximately $39.5 million.  Asia Forever had been incorporated as a limited liability company on April 1, 2008 in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and it has 100% ownership interest of Zhongshan City Weihe Appliances Co., Ltd. (“Weihe”).

Current Operations

Home System Group is a Nevada holding company which has its operations based exclusively in China. As of December 31, 2009, we have three operating subsidiaries: OCIL, Well Profit and Weihe.

Below is our Corporate Hierarchy Chart:


Well Profit and Weihe are Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises, established in China under the relevant laws of China with their capital fully invested by Foreign Investors.  Well Profit was incorporated in PRC and obtained a business license on April 5, 2006 to manufacture and sell gas grills, fans, lightings, small home appliances and hardware. It is 100% owned by Holy (HK) Limited (“Holy”), which is a Hong Kong Limited Liability Company. Weihe was established in October 1998, and obtained a business license to manufacture, and sell fans and lightings. It is 100% owned by Asia Forever Investment Limited (“Asia Forever”), which is a Hong Kong Limited Liability Company acquired by Home System on October 1, 2008. In addition, because Weihe and Well Profit are Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises, in compliance with Chinese laws and regulations, Well Profit and Weihe have each obtained the certificate of approval for establishment of enterprises with investment by Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and overseas companies from Guangdong administrative authorities.

We believe that the Company has obtained all the approvals and authorizations necessary to conduct business within our business scope in the PRC.

Our Products
  
We are primarily engaged in the production and distribution of a variety of household appliances, stainless steel gas grills and ovens, ceiling fans, lamps and skateboards to distributors, who sell them to large retailers in United States, Europe and Australia.

Our barbeque grills are made of stainless steel and other durable materials and use natural gas as fuel. Our barbeque grills are sold to distributors who sell them mainly to retailers in the United States. We design the burners in order to have safe combustion and save gas. We believe that our grills are stylish, elegant and are convenient to use. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, 23.6% and 17.6% of our sales revenue, respectively, came from this product line.

Decorative ceiling fans and lamps also became our feature products when we acquired Weihe in October, 2008, which is an exported-oriented manufacture and distributor of small household appliances. We can produce up to four million decorative ceiling fans and six million units of lamps per year. In 2009, the sales from fans and lamps were $37,543,116, contributing 60.7% of our sales revenue.

Manufacturing
 
Our products are manufactured in 742,000 square feet of plant facilities in Guangdong Province, China.  Our plants include purchasing, technology, quality control and production, and workshops for assembling, welding and stamping.  Our production facilities have over 300 units of imported and domestic advanced production and testing equipment, including an electrostatic spraying production line and semi-automatic routine assembly line.  We currently operate five barbeque production lines, with a total annual production capacity of approximately 650,000 units; two skateboard production lines, with a total annual production capacity of approximately 1,000,000 skateboards.  Our manufacturing facilities are designed to operate efficiently while maintaining workplace safety and environmental compliance standards.   
 
We closely monitor and test the quality of our raw materials.  We have established inspection points at key production stages to identify product defects during the production process and our finished products are inspected and tested according to standardized procedures. We provide regular training and specific guidelines to our operators to ensure that our internal production processes meet quality standards.    
 
Our distributors also require that our products carry a UL Mark (Underwriters Laboratory) or a CE (mandatory conformity) Mark. Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. evaluates products, components, materials and systems for compliance to specific requirements, and permits acceptable products to carry the UL Mark, as long as they remain compliant with such standards.  All our products are UL or CE certified.
 
Our Suppliers of Raw Materials
 
The primary raw materials used in our products include stainless steel, iron, plastic, metal and glass.  The prices of these raw materials are determined based upon prevailing market conditions including supply and demand.  
 
We utilize local suppliers in close proximity to us, typically within 20 kilometers of our manufacturing facilities, in order to closely supervise their activities, monitor quality, provide technical training and collaborate on technical improvements.  If geographically proximate suppliers continue to be able to provide high quality raw materials to us, we intend to continue source our raw materials from them in order to take advantage of lower shipping costs, time to transport and favorable quality control capabilities.

Our Major Customers
 
We sell products to consumer products distributors who in turn sell the products to worldwide large retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Costco. Two of our largest customers, Zhongshan City Heng Bao Trading Co., Ltd and Waiyi (HK) Limited,  accounted for approximately 62% and 32% of our annual sales, respectively, during 2009.
 
Our Major Competitors
 
We are an exported-oriented manufacture, which focuses on North America and Europe markets. Since our main products do not have significant entry barriers, we have experienced increased competition from other original equipment manufacturers which are mostly located in China. Competition is based on price and quality, as well as access to retail shelf space, product design, brand names, new product introductions, marketing support and distribution strategies.  We compete with various domestic and international manufacturers, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than we currently have.

We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and distribute reliable products that incorporate developments in technology and satisfy customer tastes with respect to style and design. It will also depend on our ability to market a broad and innovative offering of products in each category at competitive prices.
 
We plan to broaden our product offerings perhaps by acquiring new companies and product lines that are complementary to our existing products, or related to technologies and know-how developed and used in our existing core product family.  
 
Our Competitive Strengths
 
We believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively:
 
·           Low Cost Manufacturing. We focus on executing manufacturing programs involving large volumes produced efficiently, at low cost and with high quality.  We organize the production runs in our business segments’ product lines to minimize the number of manufacturing functions and the frequency of material handling. We also utilize, where practical, a flexible process which uses cellular manufacturing to allow a continuous flow of parts with minimal set up time. We believe that our efficient and automated manufacturing operations enable us to provide products for retail distribution with reduced labor costs.  We also utilize an efficient outsourced manufacturing network of suppliers for certain of our products. Many of these relationships are long-term, affording us increased flexibility and stability in our operations. This diverse network allows us to maintain multiple sources of quality products while keeping our price points competitive.  We continuously implement cost-saving initiatives that have rationalized operating and manufacturing facilities for products, as well as increased outsourcing of certain of our products where it is most cost effective.

·           Established Distributor Relationships with Major Retailers. Our customers are distributors who sell our high quality products to major retailers.  As a result, our products are sold in well-known retailers such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Whalen Storage, Lightdecor, Costco, Street-Surfing, Target and Leroy Merlin.  Due to our close relationships with our distributors, we expect our arrangements with our distributors to continue for the foreseeable future.
  
·           Distinctive Location Advantage. Our production facilities are located in Zhongshan, an important manufacturing base in China with stable regional policies and a healthy economic environment. It also provides us with a stable and high quality labor pool which enables the Company to grow and expand without concerns of increasing labor cost and shortage of qualified personnel.
  
Regulation
 
Because our operating subsidiaries are located in the PRC, we are regulated by its national and local laws. We do not currently face any significant government regulation in connection with the production of our products and we do not require any special government permits to produce our products other than those permits that are required of all corporations in China. The following sets forth a summary of the most significant regulations or restrictions that affect our business activities.

Under current PRC laws and regulations, PRC enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.  In addition, PRC enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to a general reserve until the cumulative amount of such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a company has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.
  
As a manufacturer of consumer products that are distributed to consumers located in the United States, we are also subject to the US Consumer Products Safety Act, which empowers the Consumer Products Safety Commission to exclude from the market products that are found to be unsafe or hazardous. Under certain circumstances, the Consumer Products Safety Commission could require us to repurchase or recall one or more of our products.  To date our products have not been subject to any product recalls initiated by the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
 
Throughout the world, most federal, state, provincial and local authorities require safety regulation certification prior to marketing electrical appliances in those jurisdictions and as a result, our distributors require that our products carry a UL or CE mark. We endeavor to have our products designed to meet the certification requirements of, and to be certified in, each of the jurisdictions in which they are sold.  Laws regulating certain consumer products also exist in some cities and states, as well as in other countries in which we sell our products. We believe that we are in material compliance with all of the laws and regulations applicable to us.

Environmental Matters
 
China’s environmental laws require all manufacturing enterprises to submit an environmental impact report to the relevant environmental protection authority before starting production operations. In addition, manufacturing enterprises must engage professional environmental organizations to monitor and report on pollutants emission regularly. We do not believe that our facilities are impacted by the various pollution control regulations with respect to noise and air pollution and the disposal of waste and hazardous materials because our production process does not generate industrial pollutants.  Our production process primarily involves the forming of steel and assembly of product.  We are not currently subject to any pending actions alleging any violations of applicable PRC environmental laws. Home System is required to comply with applicable hygiene and safety standards in relation to our production processes and we are in compliance with all the regulations and standards.

Foreign Currency Exchange

We are subject to PRC’s foreign currency regulations.  The PRC government has controlled Renminbi reserves primarily through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into other foreign currencies.  Although foreign currencies, which are required for “current account” transactions, can be bought freely at authorized PRC banks, the proper procedural and documentation requirements prescribed by PRC law must be met.

Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore Transactions
 
In October 2005, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Return Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005. SAFE Notice 75 states that PRC residents, whether natural or legal persons, must register with the relevant local SAFE branch prior to establishing or taking control of an “offshore special purpose company” established for the purpose of overseas equity financing with the enterprise assets or interests they hold in China. Under Notice 75, a “special purpose vehicle” refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents for the purpose of seeking offshore equity financing using assets or interests owned by such PRC residents in onshore companies.
 
PRC residents are required to complete amended registrations with the local SAFE branch upon: (i) injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise to the offshore entity, or (ii) subsequent overseas equity financing by such offshore entity. PRC residents are also required to complete amended registrations or filings with the local SAFE branch within 30 days of any material change in their shareholding or capital of the offshore entity, such as changes in share capital, share transfers and long-term equity or debt investments or providing security, and these changes do not relate to return investment activities. PRC residents who have already organized or gained control of offshore entities that have made onshore investments in the PRC before SAFE Notice 75 were to promulgated must register their shareholdings in the offshore entities with the local SAFE branch on or before March 31, 2006.
 
Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFE Notice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.

To further clarify the implementation of Notice 75, the SAFE issued Notice 124 and Notice 106 on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Notice 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the offshore holding company’s shareholders who are PRC residents in a timely manner. If these shareholders fail to comply, the PRC subsidiaries are required to report the shareholders to the local SAFE authorities. If the PRC subsidiaries of the offshore parent company do not report to the local SAFE authorities, they may be prohibited from distributing their profits and proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to their offshore parent company and the offshore parent company may be restricted in its ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC subsidiaries. Moreover, failure to comply with the above SAFE registration requirements could result in liabilities under PRC laws for evasion of foreign exchange restrictions.
 
 
6

 
The Company’s PRC resident shareholders, including our Chairman, have filed the initial registrations with the local SAFE branch as required under SAFE regulations in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries. Thus we do believe that the Company has incurred a liability because of noncompliance with Notice 75 under SAFE registration procedures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurances that our PRC resident shareholders have made all applicable amended registrations in compliance with SAFE Notice 75. The Company has little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect PRC resident shareholders or their completion of such amended registration procedures. The failure or inability of our PRC resident shareholders to comply with the applicable SAFE registration requirements may subject these shareholders or the Company to fines, legal sanctions and restrictions described above. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Notice 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies.
 
Our Employees
 
As of December 31, 2009, we have 1158 full-time employees.

As required by applicable PRC law, we have entered into employment contracts with most of our officers, managers and employees to enable them to receive social benefits from the State.  We are working towards entering employment contracts with those employees who do not currently have employment contracts with us. We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations.
 
Our employees in China participate in a state pension scheme organized by PRC municipal and provincial governments.  According to the regulation, the Company contributes 20% of employee’s actual monthly salary to the employee’s pension account if the salary is below three times of local average salary; if the employee’s salary is over three times of the local average salary, the Company contributes 20% of three times of local average salary to the employee’s pension account.  In addition, we are required by PRC law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance and believe that we are in material compliance with the relevant PRC laws.
 
Home System Group maintains strong ties with its employees and staff and retention is stable. Employee contracts adhere to both State and Provincial employment regulations and all social security regulations. All compensation including social insurance is paid in a timely manner to authorities and employees. There have been no disputes and there are no collective bargaining agreements.

Sales Revenue

Total consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $9,902,587 as compared to year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was driven by the higher sales of fans and lamps of $25,347,020 over the comparable period of 2008 due to the acquisition of Weihe, which occurred in October, 2008. These increased sales are partially offset by a decrease of $18,178,897 of Well Profit’s revenue which was due to approximately $10 million of sales in 2008 of raw material recorded in 2008 which did not repeated in 2009 and a decrease of $5,556,149 in the sales of skateboards.

The reasons for the major revenue variance for each segment are as follows:
 
Barbeque sets –In 2008, due to the downturn of international economy, the orders from international customers for barbeques grills decreased dramatically. Also, as a result of the higher raw material prices, production of barbeque grills experienced operating losses and the sales were deemphasized by the Company.  In response the Company increased the promotion and thus sales of other products, such as skateboards, in order to offset the adverse impact of the lower sales of barbeques. In 2009, with the recovery of global economy and lower raw material costs, production of barbeque grills regained profitability and the Company’s management decided to refocus on the production of barbeque grills.

Skateboards – As per above, in 2008, the Company promoted orders of skateboards.

Other home appliances – the revenue is from small home appliances, lightings and lamps which are produced by Weihe. In 2009, this segment benefited from the full year contribution of Weihe, which was acquired in October, 2008. This resulted in higher sales of home appliances of $25,347,020 over the comparable 2008 period, partially offset by the approximately $10 million sales of raw material in 2008 that were not repeated in 2009 and other general weakness in the sales of some home appliances.

The Company reported cost of sales of $45,875,295 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $2,383,745 from the corresponding 2008 level.  This increase was primarily the result of the full year effect of the October, 2008 acquisition of Weihe, which had $26,683,729 of cost of sales in the year of 2009 compared to $8,637,783 in 2008, offset by lower cost of sales of skateboards and raw materials of $18,393,490 due to its lower revenue over the comparable 2008 period and lower cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased to 74.2% from the 83.8% in the prior fiscal year, largely as a result of the full year benefit of Weihe’s lower cost of sales as a percentage of revenue, which was 71.1% in 2009. The Company’s other operations had a lower cost of sales as percentage of revenue for the year of 2009 of 78.1%, compared to 88.2% during the prior year. This improvement was largely due to decreased cost of raw materials, such as steel, in part due to increased volumes purchased due to the Weihe acquisition and the increasing efficiency in our production scheduling and material handling.

General Selling and Administrative Expenses
 
The Company’s general selling and administrative expenses increased by $1,792,004 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the prior year. This amount was higher primarily due to the full year effect of Weihe’s selling and administrative costs, which were $1,670,523 higher than in 2008 due to its acquisition in October, 2008.
 
 Income from Operations

Income from operations increased by $5,472,303 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to year ended December 31, 2008, largely due to the increased revenue and operating profit resulted from the Weihe acquisition, and the lower cost of raw materials and increasing efficiency in our production process which benefited the Company’s gross profit.
 
Other Income
 
Other income increased by $4,299,467 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared the comparable periods in 2008, largely due to the $2,356,327 of gain on transfer of fixed assets that reduced the level of debt outstanding of the Company due to Weihe acquisition in 2008. In August 2009, the Company transferred certain building assets and land use right to former shareholders of Asia Forever, the previous owner of Weihe. These assets were valued at the time of their transfer at $6,087,312, and the outstanding balance of the Notes due was reduced by this amount. There also was a gain in 2009 of $1,372,121due to a reduction in the Company’s rent expense accrual resulting from the Chinese government’s stimulus plan, in which the landlord, Oceanic International (Zhongshan), received free land use right from the government and a tax rebate to stimulate regional economic development.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Net interest expense increased by $2,255,209 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the prior year 2008, reflected the costs of the amortization of deferred finance cost pertaining to the Weihe acquisition and the higher bank borrowings, which supported the Company’s increased level of business operations resulting from that acquisition.

Net Income before Income Taxes

The Company reported net income before taxes of $12,303,748 for the year of 2009, representing an increase of $7,515,327 from the pre-tax gain of $4,788,421 recorded during year of 2008. These increases were primarily driven by the higher operating profits resulting from the Weihe acquisition, improved gross profit and other income as discussed above.

Net income before taxes of barbeque grills improved to $1,145,992 in 2009 from the net loss in 2008, primarily from the higher revenue of $5.4 million and improved gross profit margin due to lower raw material costs and improved production efficiency as discussed above.

Net income before taxes of skateboards decreased to $563,917 in 2009 resulted from the lower revenue as discussed above.

Net income before taxes of other home appliances was $8,878,445 in 2009, an increase of $1,082,366 as compared to the same period of 2008. This primarily resulted from the net revenue increase of $10 million as discussed above.

Net income before taxes of Corporate segment was $1,715,394, an increase of $2,612,029 from the loss in 2008 due to the other income including gain of transfer of the building $2,356,237 and income on reversal of the rent accrual of $1,372,121 as discussed above, partially offset by the expense for professional services rendered in United States as well as the deferred interest expense of $1,249,917 recognized on the Notes payable pertaining to the acquisition of Weihe.

Taxes

The Company recorded a tax provision of $2,997,716, representing 24.2% of its pre-tax income.  This is an increase over the 2008 tax provision of $720,756, due to the $7,515,327 increase in the 2009 pre-tax income, and the effect of $331,422 the amortization deferred finance cost pertaining to Weihe acquisiton not being deductible .

Net Income

As a result of the increased level of net income before taxes, the Company realized net income of $9,326,032 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $5,258,367 from the prior year. This improvement reflects the increased revenue and improved gross margin discussed above, plus the gains realized on the transfer of assets and the rent reversal.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

Cash has historically been generated from operations and short-term borrowings. The positive cash flows from operating activities were principally attributed to the net income generated during the year ended December 31, 2009, which was $9,326,032, and also the decrease of $$7,820,883 in trade receivables because a large order shipped in fourth quarter of 2008 was not repeated in corresponding 2009 period. These benefits were partially offset by the net reduced level of bills payable, accounts payable, and other payables accrued expenses, totaling $5,965,943.
 
Net cash used in investing activities
 
In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company spent $2,416,218 on the purchase of metal fabrication machines. Combined with the refund of an acquisition deposit of $733,500, net cash used in investing activities was $1,682,718.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities

As of December 31, 2009, the net cash used in financing activities was $8,582,967, primarily due to the $15,419,051 for repayment of notes payable, partially offset by the net increases in bank loans of $2,688,108 and advances from stockholder of $3,174,756.
 
Working capital at December 31, 2009 was approximately $(1,242,215) as compared to $(10,028,127) at December 31, 2008, reflecting the reduced level of current notes payable of $14,961,763 and lower accounts and bills payables of $8,416,439, partially offset by a reduction in trade accounts receivable.

In the future, the Company may periodically access funding from its shareholders, if such funds are made available, to fund its growth. The Company incurs operating expenses in U.S. including office rent, payroll expenses, audit and legal expenses and other administrative expenses. However, the Company has not established a U.S. disbursement account in part due to PRC’s foreign currency regulations. Chinese foreign exchange restrictions require a company to provide certain documents to State Administration of Foreign Exchange, banks and tax department, including employment agreements, invoices and tax forms, to obtain approval. In the view of this, the management decided it would be more efficient and cost effective to let one shareholder who has a U.S. disbursement account pay the expenses for the Company. As a result, foreign exchange restrictions have not impacted our liquidity and capital resources and if necessary, the Company could elect to directly fund these disbursements. The advances from the shareholder can be repaid either by equity or cash flows from operations, based on discussions with the stockholder. For example, on April 1, 2010, The Company entered into a Debt for Equity Conversion Agreements with various debt holders, including shareholders who also held debt, who converted certain loans, including those resulting from US dollar disbursements, into the Company’s common shares at a share price of $3.50 in order to reduce the Company’s debt and the related repayment requirement.

We believe that our available funds and cash flows generated from operations and short term borrowings will be sufficient to meet our anticipated ongoing operating needs for the next twelve months. However it is possible that the Company might need to raise additional capital in order to fund the Company’s debt schedule and/or expansion. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such funding, whether through the issuance of debt or equity, on terms satisfactory to management and our Board of Directors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  
 
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2009 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future affect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
  
In February 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this standard is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2008, and the implementation of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, to establish principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The standard also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, to establish accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. It also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This standard  is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2009, and the implementation of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued  ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Application of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic 470, “Debt”, which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This standard includes guidance that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion should be separated between the liability and equity components, with each component being accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest costs are recognized in subsequent periods. This standard is not currently applicable to the Company since the Company does not have convertible debt.

In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”, regarding determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. This provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company does not currently have any share-based awards that would qualify as participating securities. Therefore, application of this is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial reporting.

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and re-emphasizes that regardless of market conditions the fair value measurement is an exit price concept as defined in the standard. The scope of this standard does not include assets and liabilities measured under Level 1 inputs (quoted prices in active markets for identical assets). The standard is applied prospectively to all fair value measurements where appropriate and is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of this above standard did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, that established general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued and shall be applied to subsequent events not addressed in other applicable generally accepted accounting principles.  This standard, among other things, sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company adopted this standard effective with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009.

In July 2009, the FASB issued standards that established the ASC Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative US GAAP for nongovernmental entities. The ASC supersedes all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards that existed at the ASC’s effective date, including FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and related literature. The FASB uses Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the ASC. The Codification was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (i.e., the year ended December 31, 2009 for the Company).

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), its principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), its principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that there had been substantial improvements of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and the manner in which information that is required to be disclosed in Exchange Act report is reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rule and forms. CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that management document and test the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and include in this Annual Report on Form 10-K a report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of Lei Yu, our Chief Executive Officer, and Jianming Xu, our Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and
 
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
  
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
The management designed an evaluation process that meets the needs of its company and that provides reasonable assurance for its assessment based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In connection with their review of our internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our management concluded that in 2009, there are substantial improvements on our internal control over financial reporting:
 
·           We have accounting personnel with direct oversight responsibility to document and review financial information, who analyze and reconcile certain accounts on a periodic basis, and set up accounting systems to provide information related to expenditures on a project-by-project basis;

·           We finished interview, documentation and provided risk control matrix for improving financial system for timely identification, research and resolution of accounting issues and documentation of consideration of recent accounting pronouncements;

·           We hired technical accounting expertise among senior financial staff regarding US GAAP and the requirements of the PCAOB, and regarding the preparation of draft financial statements.
 
 
16

 
As a result of these improvements, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not, nor is required to, include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Annual Meeting
 
The Company has not held an annual meeting for several years, which is contrary to Nevada law and the Company’s bylaws.  In recent years, management has believed it has been in the best interest of the Company to not hold annual meetings in order to save the legal, filing, and mailing expenses which are necessary in order to hold an annual meeting.  As a result of the Company’s failure to hold an annual meeting, shareholders have not had an opportunity to vote on whether to retain the current directors who made the decision to not hold annual meetings.  Nevada law permits shareholders holding 15% of the voting power of the Company to apply to Nevada’s district court to order to Company to hold an annual meeting.
 
Management has recently decided to hold an annual meeting in 2011 to elect directors.
