REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of
Long Fortune Valley Tourism International Limited:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Long Fortune Valley Tourism International Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Long Fortune Valley Tourism International Limited and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The local competent tax authorities of PRC collect enterprise tax from Longkong through verification collection.  Longkong has obtained receipts from the local competent tax authorities indicating that it has paid all taxes in full for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. On April 5, 2011,Longkong, was required that the enterprise tax should be  governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25%, so  the Company has restated  its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. See Note 2 and 12.

1.  Organization and nature of operations

Organization
Long Fortune Valley Tourism International Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 9, 2009 as an exempted company limited by shares in the Cayman Islands. The Company is 80% owned by Grand Fountain Capital Holding Limited (a Cayman Islands company 99.8% owned by Chen Rongxia, who is Zhang Shanjiu’s spouse), 14.5% owned by Zhang Shanjiu, 5% owned by Li Shikun and 0.5% owned by Yu Xinbo.  The Company has 50,000 common shares authorized with $1.00 par value each and 1,000 shares issued and outstanding. Since inception, the Company has not conducted any substantive operations of its own, except to serve as a holding company that owns 100% of the equity of Rich Valley Capital Holding Limited, a British Virgin Islands company that was established by Long Fortune on December 9, 2009 as a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Rich Valley”).

Rich Valley has 50,000 common shares authorized with no par value and one share issued and outstanding. The share was issued for $1.00. Since inception, Rich Valley has not conducted any substantive operations of its own, except to serve as a holding company that owns 100% of the equity of Long Fortune Valley Tourism International Limited, a Hong Kong company that was established by Rich Valley on December 22, 2009 as a wholly-owned subsidiary (“LFHK”).

LFHK has 10,000 common shares authorized with HK$1.00 par value each and 10,000 shares issued and outstanding. Since inception, LFHK has not conducted any substantive operations of its own, except to serve as a holding company that owns 100% of the equity of Shandong Longkong Travel Management Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized in the PRC on March 15, 2004 (“Longkong”).  Longkong operates its business in Linyi City, Yishui County, Shandong Province, PRC.

Longkong was organized with an initial registered capital of approximately $2.4 million, which was 79.2% owned by Zhang Shanjiu and 20.8% owned by Zhang Qian, Zhang Shanjiu’s daughter.  On August 25, 2004, the registered capital was increased to approximately $3.8 million, which resulted in an increase in the number of shareholders from two to fifteen.  After the increase in registered capital, Zhang Shanjiu, Zhang Qian, Chen Rongxia, Zhang Shanjiu’s wife, and Yu Xinbo owned 56.60%, 15.72%, 6.92% and 5.66% of Longkong, respectively, while the remaining eleven shareholders owned 15.10% of Longkong.

Until September 2004, Longkong invested in Yishui Underground Fluorescent Lake Travel Development Co., Ltd., Shandong Shanjiu Bronze Craft Co. Ltd. and Yishui Yimong Mountain Travel Service Co. Ltd., thereby becoming the parent entity of each company and forming a PRC enterprise group of tourism companies.

In September 2007, the shareholders of Longkong entered into several equity transfer transactions that resulted in the reduction in the number of shareholders from fifteen to six.  After the equity transfers, Zhang Shanjiu, Zhang Qian, Chen Rongxia and Yu Xinbo owned 21.26%, 59.87%, 1.13% and 2.52% of Longkong, respectively, while the remaining two shareholders owned 15.22% of Longkong.

On October 10, 2007, the shareholders agreed to a decrease in Longkong’s registered capital to approximately $3.2 million, which ultimately resulted in Zhang Qian and Li Hongwei being cashed out as shareholders.  A portion of the balance due to these former shareholders was paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, leaving a balance due at December 31, 2008.  See “Note 8 – Related-party transactions” below.  After the decrease in registered capital, Zhang Shanjiu, Chen Rongxia and Yu Xinbo owned 84.5%, 4.5% and 10% of Longkong, respectively, while the remaining shareholder owned 1% of Longkong.

On December 17, 2007, largely in part due to the rarity of a group of companies such as the enterprise group in the PRC, Longkong’s management decided to sell its majority interest in its three subsidiaries to the minority shareholders in each company in order to focus on its core business.  Longkong’s interest in Yishui Underground Fluorescent Lake Travel Development Co. Ltd. was sold to Zhang Qian, Zhang Shanjiu’s daughter, for approximately $1.8 million.  Longkong’s interest in Shandong Shanjiu Bronze Craft Co. Ltd. was sold to Li Hongwei, a former shareholder and employee of Longkong, for approximately $274,000.  Longkong’s interest in Yishui Yimong Mountain Travel Service Co. Ltd. was sold to Zhang Shanshuang, Zhang Shanjiu’s brother, for approximately $27,000.

On March 10, 2008, the four remaining shareholders of Longkong sold their shares to Longong Travel Limited, a United Kingdom company (“Longong”), for approximately $2.0 million.  Longong was a company that was established on behalf of Zhang Shanjiu by a third party trustee in the United Kingdom.  The shares of Longong were held in trust for the benefit of Zhang Shanjiu, who beneficially owned the shares of Longong and had the ability to exercise control over Longong.

On November 12, 2008, Longong sold 100% of the equity interests in Longkong to Long Fortune Valley Limited, a company organized under the laws of Gibraltar (“Fortune Valley”), for $1.  Fortune Valley was a company that was established on behalf of Zhang Shanjiu by a third party trustee in Gibraltar.  The shares of Fortune Valley were held in trust for the benefit of Zhang Shanjiu, who beneficially owned the shares of Fortune Valley and had the ability to exercise control over Fortune Valley.  On December 29, 2009, Fortune Valley sold 100% of the equity interests in Longkong to LFHK for $1.

Pursuant to the acquisitions described above, the Company acquired all the equity interests of the subsidiaries under common control as all of the entities are ultimately controlled by the same parties (Zhang, Shanjiu and his immediate family).  Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods and the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the accompany financial statements.

Nature of operations
The business scope of Longkong is tourism development.  The key business project is a cave named the “Underground Grand Canyon” that is located in Linyi City, Yishui County, Shandong Province, PRC.  The Underground Grand Canyon tourist destination, at 6,100 meters (approximately 3.75 miles), is the longest cave system in northern China and contains several stalactite and stalagmite formations, as well as rivers and streams.  To date, approximately 3,100 meters (approximately 2 miles) have been developed into four entertainment attractions, including: (i) the “Underground Water Drifting” attraction; (ii) the “Electric Slide Car” attraction; (iii) the “Battery Vehicle” attraction; and (iv) the “Strop Ropeway” attraction.  Revenue is generated from admission tickets, water drifting attraction fees, rail car fees and other fees and services, including battery vehicle fees, strop ropeway fees and parking fees.  An admission ticket is for general access to the “Underground Grand Canyon” tourist destination.  Visitors are charged additional fees for the entertainment attractions in and around the Underground Grand Canyon.

2.  Significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year for the comparative purposes.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits, money market accounts, and short-term certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less.

Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are stated net of accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, taking into account the estimated residual value.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Building
20 years
 
Machinery and equipment
10 years
 
Motor vehicle
5 years
 
Office equipment
5 years
 

Maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense as incurred, whereas betterments and capital expenditures for infrastructure and facilities improvement are generally capitalized in their respective property accounts.  When an item is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed and the resulting gain or loss is recognized and reflected in current operations.  For all periods presented in the statement of operations and comprehensive income, certain labor charges normally capitalized were charged to operating expenses as the Group was unable to adequately separate these costs.

Construction in progress
Construction in progress represents property and equipment under construction.  No depreciation is recorded in respect of construction in progress.  Construction in progress is transferred to property and equipment, and depreciation of the asset commences, when the asset has been substantially completed and is ready for its intended use.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The carrying values of the Group’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable.  When such an event occurs, the Group projects the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition over the remaining life of the asset.  If projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset will not be recovered, the carrying value is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows. There were no impairments of its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue of the Group is generated from admission tickets, water drifting attraction fees, rail car fees and other fees and services, including battery vehicle fees, strop ropeway fees and parking fees.  Revenue is recognized when the service has occurred and payment has been received from visitors. An admission ticket entitles the visitor to a one-time admission to the Underground Grand Canyon and entertainment attraction fees entitle the visitor to a one-time usage of the particular entertainment attraction.  No weekly, monthly or other annual or season type passes are offered to the Underground Grand Canyon.  Admission ticket prices and entertainment attraction fees are generally collected when tickets are sold upon the visitors entering the facility or in advance.  Revenue is recognized when the tickets are used.  Occasionally, visitors are granted admission to the Underground Grand Canyon on credit.  At such times, the Group recognizes revenue when the service has occurred and records accounts receivable.  Revenue is recorded net of relevant business taxes. Business taxes are charged at 3% on sales of admission tickets and 5% of other fee and service revenues. Such taxes were $379,000 and $174,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(Unless the context requires otherwise, US$ amounts expressed in thousands)
 
 
Operating leases
Leases in which substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of the asset remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life.

Foreign currency transactions and translation
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency and Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of China, as the functional currency of Longkong.

Longkong translates assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at average rates during the reporting periods.  Adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements from RMB into U.S. dollars are recorded in shareholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss).  Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than RMB are reflected in income for the reporting periods.

Fair value
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.  The Group uses the following three levels of inputs in determining the fair value of the Group’s assets and liabilities, focusing on the most observable inputs when available:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Group did not have any financial assets and liabilities or nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Fair value of financial instruments
The Group’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Income taxes
The Company accounts for income and deferred tax under the provision of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. ASC 740 also requires the recognition of the future tax benefits of net operating loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established when the deferred tax assets are not expected to be realized within a reasonable period of time.

Advertising costs
The Group expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Total advertising expenses were $541 and $826 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively, and have been included as part of Costs and expenses.

Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income is reported as a component of the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Restatement
The local competent tax authorities of PRC collect enterprise tax from Longkong through verification collection.  Longkong has obtained receipts from the local competent tax authorities indicating that it has paid all taxes in full for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. On April 5, 2011,Longkong, was required that the enterprise tax should be  governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25%, so  the Company has restated  its income taxes expense and tax liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company also discovered multiple errors for the year ended December 31, 2009, which resulted in adjustment of assets, liabilities, operating expenses and income taxes for the period. To correct these errors, the Company has restated the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Balance Sheet, Operations and Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the notes to the consolidated financial statements. A summary of the items affected by the corrections is at Note 12.

Minor errors were found for the year ended December 31, 2007. As a result, the other receivable and advance payments and retained earnings accounts at December 31, 2008 were reduced by the amount of $39,000.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”).  Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.  The Codification is intended to reorganize, rather than change, existing US GAAP.  Accordingly, all references to currently existing US GAAP have been removed and have been replaced with plain English explanations of the Group’s accounting policies.  The adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance for subsequent events, which establishes general standards of 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.  This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  We adopted this guidance for the period ended June 30, 2009, and have provided the disclosures required for the period ended December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted
In October 2009, the FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, which amends the Revenue Recognition topic of the Codification.  This update provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-25 of the Codification for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements.  As a result of those amendments, multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing US GAAP.  The amendments establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and will replace the term fair value in the revenue allocation guidance with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant.  The amendments will also eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and will require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis.  These amendments will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update might have on our results of operations and financial condition.

7.  Income tax

Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands
Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, the members of the Group that are incorporated in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands are not subject to income taxes.

Hong Kong
LFHK was incorporated in Hong Kong on December 22, 2009.  LFHK did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong for the year ended December 31, 2009 and therefore was not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax.  The payment of dividends by Hong Kong companies is not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax.

PRC
The Company’s PRC subsidiary, Longkong, is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25%. Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (“the New EIT Law”) replaced the old laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaces the 33% rate applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for certain entities that still benefit from the tax holidays which were grandfathered by the New EIT Law or that are entitled to tax incentives under the New EIT Law.

The local competent tax authorities collect enterprise tax from Longkong through verification collection.  According to PRC law, if an enterprise satisfies certain conditions it may be eligible to pay its enterprise tax through verification collection.  Conditions include: (i) the enterprise is not required to establish accounting books under relevant laws and administrative regulations; (ii) the enterprise is required to establish accounting books under relevant laws and administrative regulations but fails to do so; (iii) the enterprise illegally destroys the accounting books or refuses to provide tax paying references; (iv) the enterprise has established accounting books but it is difficult to audit such books because the accounts are in disorder or the cost references, income vouchers and expenditure vouchers are incomplete; (v) the enterprise fails to file a tax return for a tax obligation within the prescribed time limit and refuses to file a tax return even after the taxing authority orders it to do so within a time limit; or (vi) the enterprise reports an obviously low tax basis without any justifiable reason.  Upon the satisfaction of these conditions, the taxing authorities, on the basis of the circumstance of a taxpayer subject to verification collection, verify the enterprise’s taxable income rate or income tax liability.  The taxing authorities may verify the enterprise income tax to be collected through the following approaches: (i) by referring to the tax burden on local taxpayers in the same or similar industry and with approximate business scale and income level; (ii) by referring to the amount of taxable income or the amount of costs and expenses; (iii) on the basis of calculation and inference or measurement of consumed raw materials, fuel, energy, etc.; or (iv) through other reasonable approaches.  Longkong has obtained receipts from the local competent tax authorities indicating that it has paid all taxes in full for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009.

Pursuant to the Guarantee Contract, dated March 14, 2008, between Longkong and the Agricultural Development Bank of China, Junan Branch (“Agricultural Bank”), Longkong has guaranteed a loan by Agricultural Bank to Junan Tianma Island Travel Development Co., Ltd. (“Tianma Island”), a company controlled by Zhang Shanjiu, a director of the Company.  The loan bears interest at a rate of 7.83% per annum and is due March 13, 2014.  Periodic payments of $732,000, $732,000, $1.2 million, $1.5 million and $1.8 million are due by Tianma Island on March 13, 2010, March 13, 2011, March 13, 2012, March 13, 2013 and March 13, 2014, respectively.  The balance due of the loan at December 31, 2009 was $5.9 million, which is the maximum potential amount of future payments that Longkong could be required to make under the guarantee.  The guarantee provided under the Guarantee Contract expires upon the payment in full of the loan.  Longkong will be required to make payment under the guarantee if Tianma Island fails to make a payment when due.  In such circumstance, Longkong will have recourse against Tianma Island for the full amount of the payment made on its behalf.  This obligation, however, is secured by the usufruct of Tianma Island.  Longkong’s guarantee to Agricultural Bank is secured by its usufruct.  Longkong periodically requests information from Tianma Island regarding its financial condition, including the amount of its outstanding indebtedness and payment histories, to assess the payment/performance risk of the guarantee.  As of December 31, 2009, Longkong believes the risk of paying or performing the guarantee on Tianma Island’s behalf is remote.

9.  Statutory reserves

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on Longkong’s after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards.  Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of Longkong’s after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards until the reserve is equal to 50% of Longkong’s registered capital (which was approximately $1.0 million on December 31, 2009 and 2008).  The Company did not make any such appropriation for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 because the reserve balance as of December 31, 2007 reached 50% of Longkong’s registered capital.  The accumulated balance of the statutory reserve of Longkong as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.6 million.  In accordance with PRC laws and regulations, Longkong’s statutory reserves generally are not distributable to the Company’s shareholders, for example, in the form of dividends, except upon the liquidation of Longkong.
