NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(EXPRESSED IN US DOLLAR UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED)
 
 
1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies:
 
Organization and nature of business:
 
Eastern Security & Protection Services, Inc. (“ESPSI”), formerly known as Velvet Rope Special Events, Inc., was originally organized under the laws of the State of California on August 22, 2005, and became a Delaware Corporation on June 17, 2008. From ESPSI’s inception, it was engaged in various business endeavors including full-service corporate and social event planning for organizations and individuals. Recently, ESPSI redirects its business focus towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the acquisition of operating businesses.
 
On December 31, 2010, ESPSI completed a reverse acquisition transaction with China Currency Development Limited (“CCDL”), Maneeja Noory (ESPSI’s former controlling shareholder and former officer and director), and ACE Strategy Holdings Limited (“ACE”), the sole shareholder of CCDL, pursuant to which ESPSI acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CCDL in exchange for 5,998,300 (1,173,000 pre-split) shares of ESPSI’s common stock, par value $0.0001.
 
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the above share exchange transaction 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 CCDL for the net monetary assets of ESPSI, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange will be identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill will be recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post reverse acquisition comparative historical financial statements of the legal acquirer, ESPSI, are those of the legal acquiree, CCDL, which is considered to be the accounting acquirer. Share and per share amounts stated have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the merger.
 
Shenyang Huaxun Jiuding Venture Technology Co., Ltd (“SYHX”) was incorporated on March 26, 2006 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) with an initial contribution of RMB 3 million (approximately US$ 411,300). It provides designing, installation and testing services of security and safety systems, which integrates development, consulting, distributing, marketing, and maintenance of digital video surveillance and network communication.
 
Liaoning Huaxun Security Service Operation Co., Ltd (“LNHX”) was incorporated on July 13, 2009 under the laws of the PRC with an initial contribution of RMB 20 million (approximately US$ 2,934,000). It was established for general management of the operating activities of SYHX.
 
China Currency Development Limited (“CCDL”) was incorporated on March 12, 2009 under the laws of Hong Kong as the holding company of LNHX.
 
 
 
 
On July 13 2009, the 10 individual shareholders of SYHX entered into a transfer agreement with LYHX to transfer its ownership in SYHX to LNHX, the consideration for the acquisition was RMB 3 million ($411,300) and paid in cash which was recorded as dividend distribution to the original shareholders of SYHX. Since SYHX and LNHX are under common control, the transaction was deemed to be a merger of commonly controlled entities. The transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of interest method, whereby the historical carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of SYHX and LNHX have been included in these consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
 
On July 18, 2009, the 8 individual shareholders of LNHX entered into a transfer agreement with CCDL to transfer its ownership in LNHX to CCDL, the consideration for the acquisition was RMB 20 million ($2,934,000) which was recorded as dividend distribution to the original shareholders of LNHX, but no cash has been paid so far. LNHX's business license has been updated to reflect CCDL as shareholder for LNHX. Since CCDL and LNHX are under common control, the transaction was deemed to be a merger of commonly controlled entities. The transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of interest method, whereby the historical carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of CCDL and LNHX have been included in these consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
 
On March 21, 2011, the registrant changed its name to Eastern Security & Protection Services, Inc.
 
Basis of consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ESPSI and its wholly owned subsidiaries CCDL, LNHX and SYHX (collectively, “the Company”) and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassification of amount due from related parties is being made to the comparative number to conform with current presentation.
 
Use of estimates:
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
 
 
 
Unaudited interim financial information:
 
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished here include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Advertising and promotion costs:
 
Costs incurred in direct-response advertising are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the advertising campaign. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was no capitalized direct-response advertising. All other advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $251,751 and $109,167 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Advertising costs amounted to $285,273 and $291,013 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Research and development costs:
 
Research and development costs amounted to 21,777 and $4,255 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and are recorded in sales, marketing and other operating expenses and general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs amounted to $47,950 and $7,975 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and are recorded in sales, marketing and other operating expenses and general and administrative expenses.
 
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 People’s Republic of China (“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.
 
 
 
 
Foreign currency translation:
 
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of substantially all of the operations of the Company is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of the PRC. All assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of equity. The exchange rates adopted are as follows:
 
   
As of June 30,
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
RMB exchange rate
    6.4640       6.8086

Fair value measurement:
 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. It also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk and effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.
 
This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
 
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
 
 
 
 
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurements.
 
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, due to related parties, accounts payable, deferred maintenance revenue and bank loans. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of the financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
 
Cash and cash equivalents:
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Accounts receivable:
 
Accounts receivable are stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts (none at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010). The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of accounts receivables. The Company makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customer begins to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.
 
Inventories:
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
 
When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs.
 
Property, plant and equipment:
 
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
 
Buildings
 40 years
Office equipment
 5 years
Motor vehicles
 10 years
Furniture and fixtures
  5 years
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of operations as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 
 
 
Land use rights:
 
According to the laws of China, the government owns all the land in China. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of the rights.
 
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350-30-50 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under this guidance, finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indications of possible impairment exist. The Company determined that no impairment adjustments were necessary as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets:
 
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
There was no impairment of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Revenue recognition:
 
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board “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 satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
 
The Company derives its revenue from six revenue streams: supply and installation project service, maintenance service, system checking service, installation service, repair service and sales of equipment.
 
The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the supply and installation of surveillance and security equipment and systems under fixed price contracts and one-year term maintenance services.
 
The Company recognizes revenue from supply and installation project service based on the percentage of completion method as work on the contract progresses, in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605-35). The Company measures progress on a contract using the input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. The revenue recognized is the percentage of total estimated income that incurred costs to date bear to estimated total costs.
 
Revenue from maintenance service income is recognized based on a straight-line basis over the one year term of the agreement.
 
Revenue from system checking service, installation and repair income are recognized when the installation and or work is completed and the customer acceptance is received.
 
Revenue from sales of equipment is recognized when the equipment is delivered, title and risk is transferred.
 
 
 
 
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods and services, net of value-added tax (VAT).  Only revenue derived from repair and sales of equipment are subject to 3% VAT. Revenue from project and installation contracts is subject to a 3% business tax and revenue from maintenance and system checking service is subject to a 5% business tax in which is reflected in the cost of goods sold.
 
Most of the major contracts are bundled with post-installation service for the duration of one year. 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. Customers are not entitled to a refund. Because there is no general right of return and the cost of the post-installation service of a typical contract accounts for an insignificant part of the contract, the Company’s earnings process is considered completed upon completion of the project.
 
Cost of goods sold:
 
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, labor costs, and related overhead which are directly attributable to the production of the service.
 
Warranties:
 
The Company offers a warranty to its customers on its products for a one year term. 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 sales, marketing and other operating expenses and other current liabilities respectively, and is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of sold equipments, 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Retirement benefits:
 
Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the Company participates in a defined contribution retirement plan for its employees arranged by a governmental organization. The Company makes contributions to the retirement scheme at the applicable rate based on the employees’ salaries. The required contributions under the retirement plans are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on an accrual basis. The Company’s contributions totaled $4,964 and $982 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s contributions totaled $8,865 and $1,917 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Income taxes:
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax asset and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax asset 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 Company files income tax returns with the relevant government authorities in the PRC. The Company is not subject to examination for years before 2007. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
 
 
 
 
Basic and diluted net income per share:
 
Basic earnings per share (“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 existed. 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company has outstanding warrants with an anti-dilutive feature; therefore, the basic and diluted EPS are the same.
 
Comprehensive income:
 
The Company follows FASB ASC 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.
 
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:
 
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to ASC Topic 820 that provide 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 Company adopted the disclosure requirements effective January 1, 2011.
 
In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The amendments in this Update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company will adopt the disclosure requirements for any business combinations in 2011.
 
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
 
As of June 30, 2011, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 
 
 
2. Going concern:
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,293 and negative cash flow from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
There was negative cash flow from operations of $20,583 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. In order to fund operations in the next year, the Company will need to increase its revenue and operating cash flows. Achieving positive cash flows from operations depends on the Company’s ability to generate and sustain significant increases in revenues from its traditional business. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues and gross profits to achieve positive cash flow in the future.

13. Statutory reserve:
 
Under the PRC rules and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, LNHX and SYHX are required to transfer 10% of the net income, as determined in accordance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations, to a statutory reserve until the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to shareholders can be made. The statutory reserve is non-distributable other than in liquidation, and may be converted into share capital by issuance of new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by the shareholders, provided that the balance after such issuance is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, SYHX did not make a transfer to the statutory reserve, as the statutory reserve as of December 31, 2010 for SYHX had reached 50% of its registered capital.

Mr. Tan agreed to offset the amount due from him against dividend payable due to him. Thus, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, dividend payable was RMB 16,000,000 ($2,427,200 and $2,347,200). The dividend payable of RMB 16,000,000 ($2,443,200) was contributed as capital as of March 29, 2011.

SYHX is entitled to use these buildings upon the next payment of $1,547,000 (RMB 10,000,000) which is due by June 30, 2011. Liaoning Dongchuan will process the transfer of building ownership of building No.1 with an approximate construction area of 3,262 square meters after the next payment of $3,094,000 (RMB 20,000,000) which is due by December 31, 2011.

The remaining balance of $1,742,309 (RMB 11,262,500) is due by June 30, 2012.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, SYHX paid another $3,094,000 (RMB 20,000,000). As of June 30, 2011, a total of $5,569,200 (Note 6) was paid. The remaining balance to be paid is $3,289,309 (RMB 21,262,500).

Both parties have the right to terminate the agreement if either the payment or title transfer is delayed for more than three months. In this circumstance, a 10% penalty would be levied on the contract value or the funds received. If SYHX defaults on the scheduled payments for more than three months, a 10% penalty will be levied on the contract value. However, if Liaoning Dongchuan defaults on the title transfer for more than three months, SYHX is entitled to a refund plus 10% of the total amount already paid.

The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations, which involve uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "predict," "potential," "continue," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to the management on the date hereof. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Readers should also carefully review factors set forth in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
 
As used in this current report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "our company" mean Eastern Security Protection Services, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, China Currency Development Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, Liaoning Huaxun Security Service Operation Co., Ltd., a People's Republic of China corporation (wholly-owned by China Currency Development Limited) and Shenyang Huaxun Jiuding Venture Technology Co., Ltd., a People's Republic of China corporation (wholly-owned by Liaoning Huaxun Security Service Operation Co., Ltd.).
 
Corporate Overview:
 
We were originally organized under the laws of the State of California on August 22, 2005, as Velvet Rope Special Events, Inc. and became a Delaware corporation on June 17, 2008. From our inception, we were engaged in various business endeavors including full-service corporate and social event planning for organizations and individuals.  Recently, our management decided to redirect our business focus towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the acquisition of operating businesses.
 
On December 31, 2010, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction with China Currency Development Limited, Maneeja Noory (our former controlling shareholder and former officer and director), and ACE Strategy Holdings Limited (“ACE”),  pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of China Currency in exchange for 1,173,000 pre-split shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001, and 68,445 warrants with each warrant to purchase 1 share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.11 per share.  The warrants vested immediately upon issuance and will expire on December 31, 2013.  Both the number and purchase price of the warrants are adjustable for any future dilution or concentration of our common stock resulting from a capital reorganization.  The 1,173,000 and 68,445 warrants issued to the designees of ACE constituted 84.94% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis (which assumes the issuance of the common shares underlying the warrants) immediately after completion of the reverse acquisition and after giving effect to the concurrent cancellation of 3,920,000 shares of our common stock by Ms. Noory.
 
 
 
 
As a consequence of the reverse acquisition we adopted the business of China Currency and its subsidiaries, Shenyang Huaxun Jiuding Venture Technology Co., Ltd. and Liaoning Huaxun Security Service Operation Co., Ltd.
 
On March 21, 2011, we changed our name from “Velvet Rope Special Events Inc.” to “Eastern Security & Protection Services, Inc.” by way of a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary Eastern Security & Protection Services, Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name. Also on March 21, 2011, we effected a forward split of our issued and outstanding common stock on a 5.11364 for 1 basis.  As a result, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 1,393,000 to 7,123,322, all with a par value of $0.0001.  Our authorized capital and preferred stock remain unchanged.
 
The forward stock split and name change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on March 21, 2011 under the symbol “EAST”.  Our CUSIP number is 276896 107.
 
We provide designing, installing and testing services of security and safety systems. A majority of our revenues is derived from the provision of surveillance and safety packaged solutions which include the products, installation and after-sale service maintenance to our customers. Because the majority of our revenues are derived from installations, they are generally non-recurring. Maintenance services in our packaged solution are included for the first year from the date of completion. Our customers may extend our maintenance program after the first year for an additional fee.
 
Presently, we have a small market share in Liaoning province. Our management anticipates being able to grow our presence with our competitive advantages in quality, our strong management team and capacity expansion. Our revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 were $2,646,030 and $7,864,218 respectively.

Our business has relationships with over 90 safety and security systems original equipment manufacturers throughout China. Typically, we enter into master agreements with our suppliers at the beginning of each year, which provide the general terms, prices and conditions for transactions in the supplier's products over the year. We then enter into separate purchase agreements each time we actually purchase products from a supplier. When we purchase the products from our suppliers, we take title to the items and book them as inventory. We then sell and install the products to our customers.
 
We have integrated operations in the sales and service of security and safety systems, our principal business. We conduct our business through Shenyang Security by purchasing from security and safety system suppliers and then selling, installing and servicing the products to our customers. Our security and safety systems business is focused on the market of Liaoning province, which includes major cities such as, Shenyang, Anshan, Benxi, Dalian, and Dandong, which have approximately 42 million people. We operate a large regional security and safety systems network in Liaoning province supported by strategically placed facilities.
 
 
 
 
We sell, install and service over 400 products from approximately 90 suppliers through our distribution network in compliance with PRC regulations. In 2010, revenue derived from the sales, installation and service of third-party products constituted all of our revenue. The terms of our distribution agreements vary between suppliers and vary in terms of payment period, arrangement of delivery, pricing and quality requirements. The general payment terms vary from advance deposit, to cash on delivery, to payment up to 90 days from delivery, and the payment can be settled by means of bank collection, remittance, bills payable, postal check. The delivery is either to our warehouse, railway station, or prescribed destination within Shenyang City. The quality of safety and security systems supplied is in accordance with the prescribed national standard requirement.

The increase was mainly due to rental expense of $19,253, increase in professional service fee of $84,461, and increase in employee salary of $31,402.
 
Net income:
 
As a result of the above, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, net income was $749,696 compared to a net income of $699,836 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Critical accounting policies:
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect management's more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
 
Fair value measurement:
 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. It also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk and effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.
 
This standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
 
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
 
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our company had no financial assets or liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurements.
 
Our company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, due to related parties, accounts payable, deferred maintenance revenue and bank loans. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of the financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
 
Accounts receivable:
 
Accounts receivable are stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts (none at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010). Our company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of accounts receivables. Our company makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customer begins to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.
 
 
 
 
Inventories:
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
 
When inventories are sold, their carrying amount is charged to expense in the year in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year the impairment or loss occurs.
 
Property, plant and equipment:
 
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
 
Buildings
 40 years
Office equipment
 5 years
Motor vehicles
 10 years
Furniture and fixtures
  5 years
 
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of operations as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
Land use rights:
 
According to the laws of China, the government owns all the land in China. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of the rights.
 
Our company follows the provisions of ASC 350-30-50 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under this guidance, finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indications of possible impairment exist. Our company determined that no impairment adjustments were necessary as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets:
 
The long-lived assets held and used by our company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
There was no impairment of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
 
 
 
Revenue recognition:
 
Our company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 (codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board “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 our company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
 
Our company derives its revenue from six revenue streams: supply and installation project service, maintenance service, system checking service, installation service, repair service and sales of equipment.
 
Our company derives the majority of its revenue from the supply and installation of surveillance and security equipment and systems under fixed price contracts and one-year term maintenance services.
 
Our company recognizes revenue from supply and installation project service based on the percentage of completion method as work on the contract progresses, in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 81-1 (codified in FASB ASC Topic 605-35). Our company measures progress on a contract using the input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. The revenue recognized is the percentage of total estimated income that incurred costs to date bear to estimated total costs.
 
Revenue from maintenance service income is recognized based on a straight-line basis over the one year term of the agreement.
 
Revenue from system checking service, installation and repair income are recognized when the installation and or work is completed and the customer acceptance is received.
 
Revenue from sales of equipment is recognized when the equipment is delivered, title and risk is transferred.
 
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods and services, net of value-added tax (VAT).  Only revenue derived from repair and sales of equipment are subject to 3% VAT. Revenue from project and installation contracts is subject to a 3% business tax and revenue from maintenance and system checking service is subject to a 5% business tax in which is reflected in the cost of goods sold.
 
Most of the major contracts are bundled with post-installation service for the duration of one year. 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, our company is responsible for fixing it or replacing it with a new item, which is usually covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Customers are not entitled to a refund. Because there is no general right of return and the cost of the post-installation service of a typical contract accounts for an insignificant part of the contract, our company’s earnings process is considered completed upon completion of the project.
 
Cost of goods sold:
 
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of material costs, labor costs, and related overhead which are directly attributable to the production of the service.
 
 
 
 
Warranties:
 
Our company offers a warranty to its customers on its products for a one year term. Our 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 our company’s sales, marketing and other operating expenses and other current liabilities respectively, and is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. Factors that affect our company’s warranty liability include the number of sold equipments, its estimates of anticipated rates of warranty claims, costs per claim and estimated support labor costs and the associated overhead. Our company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Our company’s warranty expense was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Income taxes:
 
Our company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax asset and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax asset 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.
 
Our company files income tax returns with the relevant government authorities in the PRC. Our company is not subject to examination for years before 2007. Our company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.
 
Inflation
 
Inflation can be expected to have an impact on our operating costs. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, wages and other costs to increase which would adversely affect our results of operations unless event planning rates could be increased correspondingly. However, the effect of inflation has been minimal over the past two years.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 
 
 
As of the end of the quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our financial reports as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors 
 
Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below:
 
Risks Relating to Our Business
 
Our operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
 
Our operating history may not provide a meaningful basis on which to evaluate our business. We cannot assure you that we will maintain our profitability or that we will not incur net losses in the future. We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we expand. Any significant failure to realize anticipated revenue growth could result in significant operating losses.
 
Due to the nature of our business, we do not have significant amounts of recurring revenues from our existing customers, and we are highly dependent on new business development.
 
Most of our revenues are derived from the installation of surveillance and safety systems which are generally non-recurring. Our customers are primarily governmental entities, non-profit organizations and commercial entities, such as airports, customs agencies, hotels, real estate developments, banks, mines, railways, supermarkets, and entertainment enterprises. We sell and install security systems for these customers and generate revenues from the sale of these systems to our customers and, to a lesser extent, from maintenance of these systems for our customers. After we have sold and installed a system at any particular customer site, we have generated the majority of revenues from that particular client. We do not expect to generate significant revenues from any existing client in future years unless that client has additional installation sites for which our services might be required. Therefore, in order to
 
 
 
 
maintain a level of revenues each year that is at or in excess of the level of revenues we generated in prior years, we must identify and be retained by new clients. If our business development, marketing and sales techniques do not result in an equal or greater number of projects of at least comparable size and value for us in a given year compared to the prior year, then we may be unable to increase our revenues and earnings or even sustain current levels in the future.
 
A decrease or delay in state or local mandating and funding of surveillance and safety system installation and operation may cause our revenues and profits to decrease.
 
We depend substantially on national, state and local government laws mandating and funding surveillance and safety system installation and operation in China. We expect that this dependence will continue for the foreseeable future. If China’s priorities change, whether due to tightening budgets, shifting policy, or otherwise, initiatives such as the Safe City Project may be abandoned or cut back, and our financial condition and results of operations may suffer material adverse effects.
 
We may be unable to compete successfully against new and existing competitors.
 
The major market for our products and business operations is the cities, villages and towns of province. We may face increasing competition in the future as we expand our business in Liaoning province and our adjacent provinces. As we expand our operations in the sales and service security and safety systems market, we will encounter competition from other companies existing in our target markets, such as China Network Communication Corporation, China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc., and China Telecommunications Corporation, and may face future competition from new foreign and domestic competitors entering the security and safety systems market in China. Our current and future competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional and distribution activities, offer more attractive terms to customers, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies. Competition could reduce our market share or force us to lower our prices to unprofitable levels.
 
Our current business operations rely heavily upon Mr. Rui Tan, our president and chief executive officer, and adding other key employees essential to growing our business.
 
We have been heavily dependent upon the expertise and management of Mr. Rui Tan, our president and chief executive officer, and his continued services. The loss of Mr. Tan’s services could seriously interrupt our business operations. Although we have entered into an employment contract with Mr. Tan, pursuant to which Mr. Tan agrees to serve as our full time chief executive officer, and Mr. Tan has not indicated any intention of leaving us, the loss of his service for any reason could have a very negative impact on our ability to fulfill our business plan.  In addition, we face competition for attracting skilled personnel. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel to meet current and future needs, this could slow our ability to grow our business, which could result in a decrease in market share.
 
The limited public company experience of our management team could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S. Securities Laws.
 
Our management team has limited public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our senior management has never had sole responsibility for managing a publicly traded company. Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Our senior management may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including the establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting.  Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our company.
 
 
 
 
If we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.
 
In connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by our competition; and (iii) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
 
If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to: (i) limit our marketing efforts; and (ii) decrease or eliminate capital expenditures. Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.
 
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
 
Our business could be adversely affected by reduced levels of cash, whether from operations or from borrowings.
 
Historically, our principal sources of funds have been cash flows from operations and borrowings from banks and other institutions. Our operating and financial performance may generate less cash and could result in our failing to comply with our credit agreement covenants. We were in material compliance with these covenants in fiscal year 2010 and expect to be in compliance with these covenants during fiscal year 2011. However, our ability to remain in compliance in the future will depend on our future financial performance and may be affected by events beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient earnings and cash flow to remain in compliance with the credit agreement, or that we will be able to obtain future amendments to the credit agreement to avoid a default. In the event of a default, there can be no assurance that we could negotiate a new credit agreement or that we could obtain a new credit agreement with satisfactory terms and conditions within a reasonable time period.
 
We sometimes extend credit to our customers. Failure to collect the trade receivables or untimely collection of them could affect our liquidity.
 
We extend credit to some of our customers while generally requiring no collateral. Generally, our customers pay in installments, with a portion of the payment upfront, a portion of the payment upon receipt of our products by our customers and before the installation, and a portion of the payment after the installation of our products and upon satisfaction of our customer. Sometimes, a small portion of the payment will not be paid until after a certain period following the installation. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally have no difficulties in collecting our payments. However, if we encounter future problems collecting amounts due from our clients or if we experience delays in the collection of amounts due from our clients, our liquidity could be negatively affected.
 
If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our ability to provide services and products to our customers, as well as our ability to obtain future business, may be harmed.
 
Many of our contracts involve subcontracts with other companies upon which we rely to perform a portion of the services that we must provide to our customers. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our subcontractors, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by those subcontractors. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations to our customers, could expose us to liability and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders.
 
 
 
 
We may have difficulty defending our intellectual property rights from infringement resulting in lawsuits requiring us to devote financial and management resources that would have a negative impact on our operating results.
 
We regard our trademarks and other similar intellectual properties as critical to our success. We rely on trademark and other similar intellectual properties, as well as confidentiality and license agreements with certain of our employees, customers and others to protect our proprietary rights. We have received trademark registration for certain of our products in the PRC. No assurance can be given that our licenses will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or that our intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain a license from a third-party technology that we may need to conduct our business or that such technology can be licensed at a reasonable cost.
 
Presently, we sell our products mainly in PRC. To date, no trademark or patent filings have been made other than in PRC. To the extent that we market our products in other countries, we may have to take additional action to protect our intellectual property. The measures we take to protect our proprietary rights may be inadequate and we cannot give you any assurance that our competitors will not independently develop products and processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to our own or copy our products.
 
There is no assurance that we will pay dividends to shareholders in the future.
 
Our board of directors does not intend to distribute dividends in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
 
We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with United States corporate governance and accounting requirements.
 
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
 
Our growth strategy requires us to make acquisitions in the future which could subject us to significant risks, any of which could harm our business.
 
Our growth strategy includes identifying and acquiring or investing in suitable candidates on acceptable terms. Over time, we may acquire or make investments in other providers of products that complement our business and other companies in the security industry. The successful integration of these companies and any other acquired businesses require us to:
 
 
 
 
 
integrate and retain key management, sales, research and development, production and other personnel;
 
 
incorporate the acquired products or capabilities into our offerings from an engineering, sales and marketing perspective;
 
 
coordinate research and development efforts;
 
 
integrate and support pre-existing supplier, distribution and customer relationships; and
 
 
consolidate duplicate facilities and functions and combine back office accounting, order processing and support functions.
 
Acquisitions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:
 
 
diversion of management’s attention from running our existing business;
 
 
increased expenses, including travel, legal, administrative and compensation expenses resulting from newly hired employees;
 
 
increased costs to integrate personnel, customer base and business practices of the acquired company with our own;
 
 
adverse effects on our reported operating results due to possible write-down of goodwill associated with acquisitions;
 
 
potential disputes with sellers of acquired businesses, technologies, services, products and potential liabilities; and,
 
 
dilution to our earnings per share if we issue common stock in any acquisition.
 
Moreover, performance problems with an acquired business, technology, product or service could also have a material adverse impact on our reputation as a whole. Any acquired business, technology, product or service could significantly underperform relative to our expectations, and we may not achieve the benefits we expect from our acquisitions. Geographic distance between business operations, the compatibility of the technologies and operations being integrated and the disparate corporate cultures being combined also presents significant challenges. Acquired businesses are likely to have different standards, controls, contracts, procedures and policies, making it more difficult to implement and harmonize company-wide financial, accounting, billing, information and other systems. If we cannot overcome these challenges, we may not realize actual benefits from past and future acquisitions, which will impair our overall business results.
 
Our acquisition strategy also depends on our ability to obtain necessary government approvals, as described under “Risks Related to Doing Business in China”. We may be unable to complete a business combination transaction efficiently or on favorable terms due to complicated merger and acquisition regulations which became effective on September 8, 2006.
 
Due to our rapid growth in recent years, our past results may not be indicative of our future performance so evaluating our business and prospects may be difficult.
 
Our business has grown and evolved rapidly in recent years as demonstrated by our growth in sales revenue from approximately $6,273,361 in 2009 to $ in 2011. We may not be able to achieve similar growth in future periods, and our historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating our business, financial performance and prospects. Therefore, you should not rely on our past results or our historical rate of growth as an indication of our future performance.
 
 
 
 
Management's estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of expenses and changes in those estimates could impact operating results.
 
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, and the results of such testing may adversely affect our financial results. We use a variety of valuation techniques in determining fair value. The impairment review is highly judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions have a significant impact on the amount of any impairment charge recorded, and actual results may differ significantly from the estimates and assumptions used.
 
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events which are included in the financial statements or tax returns. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management makes certain assumptions about whether the deferred tax assets will be realized. We expect the deferred tax assets currently recorded to be fully realizable; however, there can be no assurance that an increased valuation allowance would not need to be recorded in the future.
 
Our facilities, or facilities of our customers or suppliers, could be susceptible to natural disasters.
 
All of our facilities and many of the facilities of our customers and suppliers are located in China. Natural disasters, such as floods and earthquakes, occur frequently in China, and they pose substantial threats to businesses with operations there. As a developing country, China’s emergency-response ability is limited, and its ability to provide emergency reconstruction and other aid to businesses affected by natural disasters is limited. Should a natural disaster severely damage one of our facilities, or damage a major facility of one or more of our significant customers or suppliers, our business could be materially disrupted.
 
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect us against losses.
 
Like many other Chinese companies, we do not carry property insurance coverage for our facilities and inventories and do not have any business liability, loss of data or business interruption insurance coverage for our operations in China. If any claims for injury are brought against us, or if we experience any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster, we might incur substantial costs and diversion of resources.
 
Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate, which may affect our stock price.
 
Our quarterly revenues, expenses, operating results and gross profit margins vary from quarter to quarter. As a result, our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors in some quarters, which could result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock. The reasons our quarterly results may fluctuate include:
 
 
seasonality inherent in the surveillance and safety industry;
 
 
variations in profit margins attributable to product mix;
 
 
changes in the general competitive and economic conditions;
 
 
delays in, or uneven timing in the delivery of, customer orders;
 
 
the introduction of new products by us or our competitors; and
 
 
delays in surveillance and safety funding and budgetary restraints on national and local government spending.
 
Period to period comparisons of our results should not be relied on as indications of future performance.
 
 
 
 
Future government regulations or other standards could have an adverse effect on our operations.
 
Our operations are subject to a variety of laws, regulations and licensing requirements of national and local authorities in the PRC. In certain jurisdictions, we are required to obtain licenses or permits and to meet certain standards in the conduct of our business. The loss of such licenses, or the imposition of conditions to the granting or retention of such licenses, could have an adverse effect on us. In the event that these laws, regulations and/or licensing requirements change, we may be required to modify our operations or to utilize resources to maintain compliance with such rules and regulations. In addition, new regulations may be enacted that could have an adverse effect on us.
 
Our limited ability to protect our intellectual property, and the possibility that our technology could inadvertently infringe technology owned by others, may adversely affect our ability to compete.
 
We rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. A successful challenge to the ownership of our technology could materially damage our business prospects. Our competitors may assert that our technologies or products infringe on their patents or proprietary rights. We may be required to obtain from others licenses that may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Problems with intellectual property rights could increase the cost of our products or delay or preclude our new product development and commercialization. If infringement claims against us are deemed valid, we may not be able to obtain appropriate licenses on acceptable terms or at all. Litigation could be costly and time-consuming but may be necessary to protect our technology license positions or to defend against infringement claims.
 
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption laws, and any determination that we violated any of these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We are similarly subject to Chinese anti-corruption laws. We have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our company, even though these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the U.S. government may seek to hold our company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
 
China Currency is a Hong Kong company, while our operating subsidiaries are PRC companies, and most of our officers and directors reside outside the United States. Therefore, certain judgments obtained against our Company by our shareholders may not be enforceable in Hong Kong or China.
 
China Currency is a Hong Kong company and our operating subsidiaries are PRC companies. Most of our officers and directors reside outside of the United States. All or substantially all of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside of the United States.
 
As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our company or such persons or to enforce against it or these persons the United States federal securities laws, or to enforce judgments obtained in United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
 
 
 
 
Risks Related To Our Industry
 
Seasonality affects our operating results.
 
Our sales are affected by seasonality. Our revenues are usually higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year because fewer projects are undertaken during and around the Chinese spring festival.
 
Our success relies on our management’s ability to understand the highly evolving surveillance and safety industry.
 
The Chinese surveillance and safety industry is nascent and rapidly evolving. Therefore, it is critical that our management is able to understand industry trends and make good strategic business decisions. If our management is unable to identify industry trends and act in response to such trends in a way that is beneficial to us, our business will suffer.
 
If we are unable to respond to the rapid changes in our industry and changes in our customer’s requirements and preferences, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
If we are unable, for technological, legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements, we could lose customers and market share. The surveillance and safety industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Sudden changes in customer requirements and preferences, the frequent introduction of new products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices could render our existing products, services and systems obsolete. The emerging nature of products and services in the surveillance and safety industry and their rapid evolution will require that we continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our products and services. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:
 
 
enhance our existing products and services;
 
 
anticipate changing customer requirements by designing, developing, and launching new products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers; and
 
 
respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.
 
The development of additional products and services involves significant technological and business risks and requires substantial expenditures and lead time. If we fail to introduce products with new technologies in a timely manner, or adapt our products to these new technologies, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that even if we are able to introduce new products or adapt our products to new technologies that our products will gain acceptance among our customers. In addition, from time to time, we or our competitors may announce new products, product enhancements or technological innovations that have the potential to replace or shorten the life cycles of our existing products, and that may cause customers to refrain from purchasing our existing products, resulting in inventory obsolescence.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We may not be able to maintain or improve our competitive position among strong competition in the surveillance and safety industry, and we expect this competition to continue to intensify.
 
The Chinese surveillance and safety industry is highly competitive. In addition, since China joined the World Trade Organization, we also face competition from international competitors. Some of our international competitors are larger than us and possess greater name recognition, assets, personnel, sales and financial resources. These entities may be able to respond more quickly to changing market conditions by developing new products and services that meet customer requirements or are otherwise superior to our products and services and may be able to more effectively market their products than we can because they have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. They may also be able to devote greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Increased competition could require us to reduce our prices, result in our receiving fewer customer orders, and result in a loss of our market share. We cannot assure you that we will be able to distinguish ourselves in a competitive market. To the extent that we are unable to successfully compete against existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Our product offerings involve a lengthy sales cycle and we may not anticipate sales levels appropriately, which could impair our profitability.
 
Some of our products and services are designed for medium to large commercial, industrial and government facilities desiring to protect valuable assets and/or prevent intrusion into high security facilities in China. Given the nature of our products and the customers that purchase them, sales cycles can be lengthy as customers conduct intensive investigations and deliberate between competing technologies and providers. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with some of our products and services is typically lengthy and subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little or no control. If sales in any period fall significantly below anticipated levels, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
 
We could face liability for our failure to respond adequately to alarm activations.
 
The nature of the services we provide potentially exposes us to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures that may be inherent in other businesses. In the event of litigation with respect to such matters, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the costs of such litigation could have an adverse effect on us.
 
Risks Relating to the People’s Republic of China
 
Substantially all of our operating assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenue will be derived from our operations in China so our business, results of operations and prospects are subject to the economic, political and legal policies, developments and conditions in China.
 
The PRC’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, could impair our business.  The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects.  China’s GDP has grown consistently since 1978 (National Bureau of Statistics of China).  However, we cannot assure you that such growth will be sustained in the future. If, in the future, China’s economy experiences a downturn or grows at a slower rate than expected, there may be less demand for spending in certain industries. A decrease in demand for spending in certain industries could impair our ability to remain profitable.  The PRC’s economic growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may have a negative effect on us.  For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be hindered by PRC government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations.
 
 
 
 
The PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the use of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over PRC economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.
 
Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could impede the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and damage our business.
 
We conduct substantially all of our operations and generate most of our revenue in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:
 
 
the higher level of government involvement;
 
 
the early stage of development of the market-oriented sector of the economy;
 
 
the rapid growth rate;
 
 
the higher level of control over foreign exchange; and
 
 
the allocation of resources.
 
As the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on us.
 
Although the PRC government has in recent years implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in China through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries or companies in different ways.
 
Any adverse change in the economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth and the level of surveillance and safety investments and expenditures in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
 
The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we conduct our business activities.
 
The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.
 
 
 
 
Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.
 
Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could impede the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and damage our business.
 
We conduct substantially all of our operations and generate most of our revenue in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:
 
 
the higher level of government involvement;
 
 
the early stage of development of the market-oriented sector of the economy;
 
 
the rapid growth rate;
 
 
the higher level of control over foreign exchange; and
 
 
the allocation of resources.
 
As the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on us.
 
Although the PRC government has in recent years implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in China through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries or companies in different ways.
 
Any adverse change in the economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth and the level of surveillance and safety investments and expenditures in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.
 
If the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or another PRC regulatory agency, determines that MOFCOM and CSRC approval of our merger was required or if other regulatory obligations are imposed upon us, we may incur sanctions, penalties or additional costs which would damage our business.
 
On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the MOFCOM and the CSRC, promulgated the Rules on Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, a new regulation with respect to the mergers and acquisitions of domestic enterprises by foreign investors that became effective on September 8, 2006.  Article 11 of the New M&A Rules requires when a domestic company, enterprise or natural person uses an offshore company legally established or controlled by the domestic company, enterprise or natural person to engage in the merger and acquisition of a related domestic company, the application must be submitted to MOFCOM for approval.  Article 40 of the New M&A Rules requires that an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for overseas listing purposes and controlled directly or directly by PRC companies or individuals should obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such offshore special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange, especially in the event that the offshore special purpose vehicle acquires shares of or equity interests in the PRC companies in exchange for the shares of offshore companies.  Article 39 of the New M&A Rules defines an offshore special purpose vehicle as an offshore company directly or directly controlled by a PRC domestic company or natural person for the purpose of the offshore listing of their equity interests in the domestic company.  On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures and filing requirements for offshore special purpose vehicles seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings.
 
 
 
 
We believe that MOFCOM and CSRC approvals were not required for our merger transaction or for the listing and trading of our securities on a trading market because we are not an offshore special purpose vehicle that is directly or directly controlled by PRC companies or individuals.  Although the merger and acquisition regulations provide specific requirements and procedures, there are still many ambiguities in the meaning of many provisions.  Further regulations are anticipated in the future, but until there has been clarification either by pronouncements, regulation or practice, there is some uncertainty in the scope of the regulations and the regulators have wide latitude in the enforcement of the regulations and approval of transactions.  If the MOFCOM, CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that the MOFCOM and CSRC approvals were required, we may face sanctions by the MOFCOM, CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency.  If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the net proceeds, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of dividends paid by Shenyang Security, or take other actions that could damage our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our securities.
 
The New M&A Rules establish more complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisition in China.
 
The New M&A Rules establish additional procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign investors, such as ours, more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the approval of the Ministry of Commerce shall be required for transactions involving the shares of an offshore listed company being used as the acquisition consideration by foreign investors.  In the future, we may grow our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses.  Complying with the requirements of the New M&A Rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.
 
If the PRC imposes restrictions designed to reduce inflation, future economic growth in the PRC could be severely curtailed which could hurt our business and profitability.
 
While the economy of the PRC has experienced rapid growth, this growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country.  Rapid economic growth often can lead to growth in the supply of money and rising inflation.  In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending.  Imposition of similar restrictions may lead to a slowing of economic growth, a decrease in demand for our products and generally damage our business and profitability.
 
Fluctuations in exchange rates could harm our business and the value of our securities.
 
The value of our ordinary shares will be directly affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Because substantially all of our earnings and cash assets are denominated in RMB and the net proceeds (after the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the Private Placement) received by us from the Private Placement will be denominated and our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB will affect the relative purchasing power of these proceeds, our balance sheet and our earnings per share in U.S. dollars following this offering.  In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations.  Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.  Since July 2005, the RMB has not been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.
 
 
 
 
Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.
 
Exchange controls that exist in the PRC may limit our ability to utilize our cash flow effectively.
 
We are subject to the PRC’s rules and regulations on currency conversion.  In the PRC, the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, regulates the conversion between Renminbi and foreign currencies. Currently, foreign investment enterprises, or FIEs, are required to apply to the SAFE for “Foreign Exchange Registration Certificates for FIEs.” As a result of our ownership of Shenyang Security, Shenyang Security is a FIE.  With such registration certificates, which need to be renewed annually, FIEs are allowed to open foreign currency accounts including a “current account” and “capital account.” Currency conversion within the scope of the “current account,” such as remittance of foreign currencies for payment of dividends, can be effected without requiring the approval of the SAFE.  However, conversion of currency in the “capital account,” including capital items such as direct foreign investment, loans and securities, still require approval of the SAFE. Further, any capital contributions to Shenyang Security by its offshore shareholder must be approved by the Ministry of Commerce in China or its local counterpart. We cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory authorities will not impose further restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use our cash flow for the distribution of dividends to our shareholders or to fund operations it may have outside of the PRC.
 
In August 2008, SAFE promulgated Circular 142, a notice regulating the conversion by FIEs of foreign currency into Renminbi by restricting how the converted Renminbi may be used.  Circular 142 requires that Renminbi converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable government authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specifically provided for otherwise.  In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight over the flow and use of Renminbi funds converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE.  The use of such Renminbi may not be changed without approval from SAFE, and may not be used to repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not yet been used.  Violations of Circular 142 may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the SAFE rules.
 
PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders to personal liability and limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us, or otherwise adversely affect us.
 
SAFE issued a public notice in October 2005, or the SAFE notice, requiring PRC residents to register with the local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of China for the purpose of capital financing with assets or equities of PRC companies, referred to in the notice as an “offshore special purpose company.” PRC residents that are shareholders of offshore special purpose companies established before November 1, 2005 were required to register with the local SAFE branch before March 31, 2006.The failure of our beneficial owners to timely amend their SAFE registrations pursuant to the SAFE notice or the failure of future beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the SAFE notice may subject such beneficial owners to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to our company or otherwise adversely affect our business.
 
 
 
 
Because Chinese law governs many of our material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within the PRC or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
 
Chinese law governs many of our material agreements, some of which may be with Chinese governmental agencies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce any of our material agreements or that remedies will be available outside of the PRC.  The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws and contracts in the PRC may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
 
Because our funds are held in banks in uninsured PRC bank accounts, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in business.
 
Funds on deposit at banks and other financial institutions in the PRC are often uninsured.  A significant portion of our assets are in the form of cash deposited with banks in the PRC, and in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to our funds on deposit.  Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.
 
PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from making loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operating subsidiaries.
 
As an offshore holding company of our PRC operating subsidiaries, we may make loans to our PRC subsidiaries. Any loans to our PRC subsidiaries are subject to approval by relevant governmental authorities in China and other requirements under relevant PRC regulations.
 
We may also decide to finance our PRC subsidiaries by means of capital contributions. According to the relevant PRC regulations on foreign-invested enterprises in China, depending on the amount of total investment and the type of business in which a foreign-invested enterprise is engaged, capital contributions to foreign-invested enterprises in China are subject to approval by the Ministry of Commerce or its local branches. We may not obtain these government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiaries. If we fail to receive such approvals, our ability to capitalize our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.
 
Our business could be severely harmed if the Chinese government changes its policies, laws, regulations, tax structure or its current interpretations of its laws, rules and regulations relating to our operations in China.
 
Our business is located in Liaoning province, China and virtually all of our assets are located in China.  We generate our sales revenue only from customers located in China.  Our results of operations, financial state of affairs and future growth are, to a significant degree, subject to China’s economic, political and legal development and related uncertainties. Our operations and results could be materially affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
 
 
 
 
 
 
Changes in policies by the Chinese government resulting in changes in laws or regulations or the interpretation of laws or regulations;
 
 
Changes in taxation;
 
 
Changes in employment restrictions;
 
 
Import duties; and,
 
 
Currency revaluation.
 
Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activities and greater economic decentralization. If the Chinese government does not continue to pursue its present policies that encourage foreign investment and operations in China, or if these policies are either not successful or are significantly altered, then our business could be harmed.  Following the Chinese government’s policy of privatizing many state-owned enterprises, the Chinese government has attempted to augment its revenues through increased tax collection.  It also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.  Continued efforts to increase tax revenues could result in increased taxation expenses being incurred by us.  Economic development may be limited as well by the imposition of austerity measures intended to reduce inflation, the inadequate development of infrastructure and the potential unavailability of adequate power and water supplies, transportation and communications.  In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies.
 
The Chinese laws and regulations which govern our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain and may be changed in a way that hurts our business.
 
China’s legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes, in which system decided legal cases have little value as precedents, unlike the common law system prevalent in the United States. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of Chinese laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings.  The Chinese government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade.  However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and judicial interpretation and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We are considered an FIE under Chinese laws, and as a result, we must comply with Chinese laws and regulations. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new Chinese laws or regulations may have on our business. If the relevant authorities find us to be in violation of Chinese laws or regulations, they would have broad discretion in dealing with such a violation, including, without limitation: levying fines; revoking our business and other licenses; requiring that we restructure our ownership or operations; and requiring that we discontinue any portion or all of our business.
 
A slowdown or other adverse developments in the Chinese economy may materially and adversely affect our customers’ demand for our services and our business.
 
All of our operations are conducted in China and all of our revenues are generated from sales to businesses operating in China. Although the Chinese economy has grown significantly in recent years, such growth may not continue. We do not know how sensitive we are to a slowdown in economic growth or other adverse changes in the Chinese economy which may affect demand for our products. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in China may materially reduce the demand for our services and in turn reduce our results of operations.
 
 
 
 
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese Anti-Corruption Laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
 
Our executive officers, employees and other agents may violate applicable law in connection with the marketing or sale of our products, including China’s anti-corruption laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.  In addition, we are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent our transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls.  Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions, and therefore may have a competitive advantage over us. The PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials.  However, corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the PRC.
 
While we intend to implement measures to ensure compliance with the FCPA and Chinese anti-corruption laws by all individuals involved with our company, our employees or other agents may engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible.  If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, our brand and reputation, our sales activities or the price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected if we become the target of any negative publicity as a result of actions taken by our employees or other agents.
 
The implementation of the new PRC Employment Contract Law and increases in the labor costs in China may hurt our business and profitability.
 
A new employment contract law became effective on January 1, 2008 in China. It imposes more stringent requirements on employers in relation to entry into fixed-term employment contracts, recruitment of temporary employees and dismissal of employees. In addition, under the newly promulgated Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees, which also became effective on January 1, 2008, employees who have worked continuously for more than one year are entitled to paid vacation ranging from 5 to 15 days, depending on the length of the employee’s service. Employees who waive such vacation entitlements at the request of the employer will be compensated for three times their normal daily salaries for each vacation day so waived. As a result of the new law and regulations, our labor costs may increase. There is no assurance that disputes, work stoppages or strikes will not arise in the future. Increases in the labor costs or future disputes with our employees could damage our business, financial condition or operating results.
 
Under the PRC EIT Law, we, Liaoning and/or China Currency may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of the PRC. Such classification could result in tax consequences to us, our non-PRC resident shareholders, Liaoning and China Currency.
 
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress approved and promulgated a new tax law, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or “EIT Law,” which took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, enterprises are classified as resident enterprises and non-resident enterprises. An enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define “de facto management bodies” as a managing body that in practice exercises “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise; however, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would deem our managing body as being located within China. Due to the short history of the EIT Law and lack of applicable legal precedents, the PRC tax authorities determine the PRC tax resident treatment of a foreign company on a case-by-case basis.
 
 
 
 
If the PRC tax authorities determine that we, Liaoning and/or China Currency are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we, Liaoning and/or China Currency could be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25 percent on our, Liaoning’ and/or China Currency’s worldwide taxable income, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Second, under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, dividends paid between “qualified resident enterprises” are exempt from enterprise income tax. As a result, if we, Liaoning and China Currency are treated as PRC “qualified resident enterprises,” all dividends paid from Shenyang Security to us (through China Currency and Liaoning) should be exempt from PRC tax.
 
Finally, the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10 percent PRC tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders that are not PRC tax “resident enterprises” and gains derived by them from transferring our common stock, if such income is considered PRC-sourced income by the relevant PRC authorities. In such event, we may be required to withhold a 10 percent PRC tax on any dividends paid to non-PRC resident stockholders. Our non-PRC resident stockholders also may be responsible for paying PRC tax at a rate of 10 percent on any gain realized from the sale or transfer of our common stock in certain circumstances. We would not, however, have an obligation to withhold PRC tax with respect to such gain.
 
Moreover, the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) released Circular Guoshuihan No. 698 (“Circular 698”) on December 15, 2009 that reinforces the taxation of non-listed equity transfers by non-resident enterprises through overseas holding vehicles. Circular 698 addresses direct share transfers as well as other issues. Circular 698 is retroactively effective from January 1, 2008. According to Circular 698, where a foreign (non-PRC resident) investor who directly holds shares in a PRC resident enterprise through a non-PRC offshore holding company directly transfers equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise by selling the shares of the offshore holding company, and the latter is located in a country or jurisdiction where the effective tax burden is less than 12.5 percent or where the offshore income of his, her, or its residents is not taxable, the foreign investor is required to provide the PRC tax authority in charge of that PRC resident enterprise with certain relevant information within 30 days of the transfer. The tax authorities in charge will evaluate the offshore transaction for tax purposes. In the event that the tax authorities determine that such transfer is abusing forms of business organization and a reasonable commercial purpose for the offshore holding company other than the avoidance of PRC income tax liability is lacking, the PRC tax authorities will have the power to re-assess the nature of the equity transfer under the doctrine of substance over form. A reasonable commercial purpose may be established when the overall international (including U.S.) offshore structure is set up to comply with the requirements of supervising authorities of international (including U.S.) capital markets. If the SAT’s challenge of a transfer is successful, it may deny the existence of the offshore holding company that is used for tax planning purposes and subject the seller to PRC tax on the capital gain from such transfer. Since Circular 698 has a short history, there is uncertainty as to its application. We (or a foreign investor) may become at risk of being taxed under Circular 698 and may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with Circular 698 or to establish that we (or such foreign investor) should not be taxed under Circular 698, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations (or such foreign investor’s investment in us).
 
If any such PRC tax applies, a non-PRC resident investor may be entitled to a reduced rate of PRC tax under an applicable income tax treaty and/or a deduction against such investor’s domestic taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such investor’s domestic income tax liability (subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In the case of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the section of this prospectus captioned “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—General”), if a PRC tax applies to dividends paid on our common stock, or to gain from the disposition of our common stock, such tax should be treated as a foreign tax eligible for a deduction from such holder’s U.S. federal taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In addition, the U.S. Holder should be entitled to certain benefits under the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the People’s Republic of China for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty”), including the treatment of any such income as arising in the PRC for purposes of calculating such foreign tax credit, if such holder is considered a resident of the United States for the purposes of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. Prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the applicability of any such taxes, the effects of any applicable income tax treaties, and any available foreign tax credits. For further information, see the discussion in the sections of this prospectus entitled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Material PRC Income Tax Considerations” below.
 
 
 
 
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
 
We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating subsidiaries in China. Our operating subsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference, but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. In addition, all of our executive officers and all but one of our directors are residents of China and not of the United States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to effect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against our Chinese officers, directors and subsidiaries.
 
It may be difficult to affect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon our company and our officers and directors because they reside outside the United States.
 
As our operations are presently based in PRC and a majority of our directors and all of our officers reside in PRC, service of process on our company and such directors and officers may be difficult to effect within the United States. Also, our main assets are located in PRC and any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable outside the United States.
 
Risks Related to the Market for our Stock
 
The market price of our common stock can become volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings.
 
The market price of our common stock can become volatile. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include: our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors; changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock; speculation about our business in the press or the investment community; significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers; stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry; customer demand for our products; investor perceptions of our industry in general and our Company in particular; the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; general economic conditions and trends; announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures; changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; loss of external funding sources; sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and additions or departures of key personnel. Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.
 
Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us. We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future.
 
 
 
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock.
 
We intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.
 
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If our common stock becomes a “penny stock,” we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Penny Stock Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.
 
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
 
There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
 
We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
We intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.
 
Our common stock is illiquid and subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.
 
If a market for our common stock does develop, its market price could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting us or our competitors. In addition, the stock market itself is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
 
 
 
 
Investors may have difficulty liquidating their investment because our common stock is subject to the “penny stock" rules, which require delivery of a schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks before any sale.
 
Our common stock may be subject to regulations prescribed by the SEC relating to "penny stocks." The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined in such regulations) of less than $5 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These regulations impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 and individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (individually) or $300,000 (jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities and have received the purchaser's prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
 
Legal remedies, which may be available to the investor, are as follows:
 
 
If penny stocks are sold in violation of the investor's rights listed above, or other federal or state securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel his purchase and get his money back;
 
 
If the stocks are sold in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that caused the fraud for damages;
 
 
If the investor has signed an arbitration agreement, however, s/he may have to pursue a claim through arbitration.
 
If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the SEC's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock and stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities. 
 
A large number of shares may be eligible for future sale and may depress our stock price.
 
We may be required, under terms of future financing arrangements, to offer a large number of common shares to the public, or to register for sale by future private investors a large number of shares sold in private sales to them.
 
Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or a perception that such sales could occur, and the existence of options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock at prices that may be below the then-current market price of our common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities, either of which would decrease the value of any earlier investment in our common stock.
