NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Hippo Lace Limited (the Company) was incorporated on December 11, 2009 in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) with a maximum authorized share capital of 50,000 ordinary shares. On January 12, 2010, a share was issued for $1 to Mr. Gu Yao, who is the sole shareholder of the Company. The Company principally acts as an investing holding company.
In February 2010, the Company entered into and consummated an agreement with Sizegenic Holdings Limited, a BVI corporation, to acquire 100% interests of its wholly owned subsidiary, Legend Sun Limited (Legend Sun). The consideration of $182,982 was paid in full on February 17, 2010 and the share transfer was completed on February 24, 2010. Legend Sun is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong and its principal activity is to provide catering services in Hong Kong.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companys functional currency is the Hong Kong Dollar, however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars.
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
The balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 includes the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Legend Sun. Additionally, the results of operations and cash flows includes the operations from January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010 of Legend Sun. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(c)
Going concern and managements plans
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Companys minimal revenues, its dependency from continued funding from its stockholders and the net cash used in operating activities raise substantial double about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's business plan includes raising funds from outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.
8
(d)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Companys significant estimates include the reserves related to receivables, the recoverability and useful lives of long lived assets and realizable values for inventories.
(e)
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. The related transaction adjustments are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheet.
The period-end rates March 31, 2010 of Hong Kong dollar to one US dollar were 7.7800; average rates for the period from December 11, 2009 to March 31, 2010 were 7.7644.
(f)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Improvements to leased assets or fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease period, whichever is shorter. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the useful life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense is recorded over the assets estimated useful lives, using the straight line method, at the following annual rates:-
Furniture and equipment: 10% - 20%, per year
Computer equipment: 10%, per year
(g)
Inventories
9
Inventories consist of finished goods which include food and beverage materials and products for catering service. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or market. Market value is determined by reference to selling prices after the balance sheet date or to managements estimates based on prevailing market conditions. The management also regularly evaluates the composition of its inventories to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventories to determine if a valuation allowance is required.
(h)
Other receivables
Other receivables mainly consist of consultancy services income receivables.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
(i)
Cash
Cash consist of cash on hand and at banks. Substantially all of the Company's cash deposits are held with financial institutions located in Hong Kong. Management believes these financial institutions are of high credit quality.
(j)
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)-350-30-50 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires the testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter each year. Goodwill impairment is computed using the expected present value of associated future cash flows. There was no impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2010.
(k)
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are comprised of property and equipment. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC360-10, Property, plant and equipment, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable by comparing the undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets to their carrying amounts. If such a review indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value.
10
(l)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following:
|
|
|
|
| |||
Accounts payable Accrued expenses |
|
|
|
| 6,049 | ||
| Legal and professional fees |
|
| 16,000 | |||
| Payroll and other operating expenses | 10,624 | |||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
| $ 32,673 |
Other payable represents accrued payroll and expenses.
(m)
Fair value measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
(m) Fair value measurements
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
The carrying values of cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
There was no asset or liability measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2010.
11
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
(n)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted ASC 740 which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
(o)
Other comprehensive income
The Company has adopted ASC 220 Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
(p)
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold or services provided. Revenue is recognized when all the following criteria are met:
12
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
a.
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
b.
Services had been rendered.
c.
The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
d.
Collectivity is reasonably assured.
Revenue from sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. Other income from consultancy services is recognized on the accrual basis when the services are rendered.
(q)
Employee benefits
The Company operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "MPF Scheme") under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF Scheme is a defined contribution scheme, the assets of which are held in separate trustee-administered funds. The Company's contributions to the scheme are expensed as incurred and are vested in accordance with the scheme' vesting scales.
(r)
Segment information
ASC 280 Segment reporting establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Company has only one segment, all of the Company's operations and customers are in Hong Kong and all incomes are derived from the provision of catering services. Accordingly, no geographic information is presented.
(s)
Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and environmental claims arising out of the normal course of businesses that relate to a wide range of matters, including among others, contracts breach liability. The Company records accruals for such contingencies based upon the assessment of the probability of occurrence and, where determinable, an estimate of the liability. Management may consider many factors in making these assessments including past history, scientific evidence and the specifics of each matter.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company's management has evaluated all such proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
13
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( /Contd)
(t)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 820 on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The guidance requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The guidance now requires a reporting entity to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. As this standard relates specifically to disclosures, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 855 on Subsequent Events, which requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirements that an SEC filer disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The guidance was effective upon issuance. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
14
NOTE 3 BUSINESS ACQUISITION
In February 2010, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Sizegenic Holdings Limited, a BVI corporation, to acquire its wholly owned subsidiary, Legend Sun Limited (Legend Sun). Pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement, the Company paid a total consideration of $182,982 (approximate HK$1,425,024) in exchange for 100% ownership of Legend Sun. Legend Sun is a Hong Kong company and it principally engages in provision of catering services in Hong Kong. Cheung Ming is the sole shareholder of Sizegenic. There was no relationship between Gu Yao and Sizegenic or Cheung Ming prior to the sale of Legend Sun. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition as determined in accordance with ASC 805, and the purchase price allocation at the date of acquisition, were as follows:
