TSINGDA EEDU CORPORATION
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Tsingda Century Investment Consultant of Education Co., Ltd. (“Tsingda Century”) was incorporated on October 23, 2003, in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Beijing Tsingda Century Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Tsingda Network”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Tsingda Century was incorporated in the PRC on February 14, 2004. Tsingda Century and its subsidiary provide high quality offline and online educational services for students ranging from six to eighteen years of age in the PRC. Tsingda eEDU Corporation (“Tsingda eEDU” or “the Company”, formerly “Compass Acquisition Corporation”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 27, 2006. The Company was originally organized as a “blank check” company to investigate and acquire a target company or business seeking the advantages of being a publicly held corporation.

Tsing Da Century Education Technology Co., Ltd. (“Tsingda Technology”) was incorporated on December 11, 2009, in the British Virgin Islands, to serve as the intermediate holding company.

Tsingda Century Beijing Management Consulting Co., Ltd. (“Tsingda Management”) was incorporated on November 26, 2007 and was serving as the wholly owned foreign enterprise (“WOFE”) of Tsingda Technology.

On April 22, 2010, Tsingda Century Training School (“Tsingda School”) was incorporated in Beijing, the PRC, and it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tsingda Century.

On September 23, 2011, Family Baby Kindergarten (“Family Baby”) was incorporated in Beijing, the PRC, and it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tsingda Century.

As part of the restructuring, on April 26, 2010, Tsingda Management entered into a series of agreements with Tsingda Century and its shareholders, including an Operating Agreement, Proxy Agreement, Consulting Services Agreement, Equity Pledge Agreement and Option Agreement, which entitled Tsingda Management to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Tsingda Century in consideration for consulting services provided by Tsingda Management to Tsingda Century. An Option Agreement allows Tsingda Management to acquire the shares of Tsingda Century when permitted by the PRC laws. The Proxy Agreement provides Tsingda Management with the voting rights of Tsingda Century’s shareholder and Equity Pledge Agreement pledges the shares in Tsingda Century to Tsingda Management without transferring legal ownership in Tsingda Century to Tsingda Management. Under the Consulting Services Agreement, Tsingda Management is the exclusive service provider, to Tsingda Century, for services, including general business operation, human resources, business development and Tsingda Century is obligated to make regular payments for such services provided. Under the Operating Agreement, Tsingda Century shall not conduct any transactions which may materially affect the assets, obligations, rights or the operations, without the written consent of Tsingda Management and Tsingda Century accepted Tsingda Management’s corporate policy provide by Tsingda Management in connection with Tsingda Century’s daily operations, financial management and the employment and dismissal of Tsingda Century’s employees. Through those agreements, Tsingda Management has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Tsingda Century and Tsingda Century became a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and is included in the consolidated group.

As all of the companies are under common control, this structure has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.

On May 24, 2010, the Company and its controlling shareholders entered into a share exchange agreement (the Agreement) with Tsingda Technology and all of the shareholders of Tsingda Technology. Under the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Tsingda Technology in exchange for 244,022.78 preferred shares of the Company. Each such share of preferred stock was convertible into 100 ordinary shares of the Company at such time as the number of authorized ordinary shares is increased. The transaction closed in May 2010 and was accounted for as a reverse merger with a shell company and a recapitalization of Tsingda Technology. Tsingda eEDU Corporation is the accounting acquiree. Tsingda Technology is the accounting acquirer and the surviving entity.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair value determination of financial and equity instruments, the reliability of deferred tax assets; the recoverability of intangible asset and property, plant and equipment; and accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies

The unaudited interim financial statements of Tsingda eEDU Corporation as of September 30, 2011 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods. The results of operations for the three months and nine months periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair value determination of financial and equity instruments, the reliability of deferred tax assets; the recoverability of intangible asset and property, plant and equipment; and accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies

Certain expense amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 for the comparative purposes.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are measured using the Chinese currency Renminbi as the functional currency, while the Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar. Balance sheet accounts with exception of equity of the subsidiaries are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each period end, income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period, and equity accounts were stated at their historical exchange rate. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods. Translation adjustments are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income.

The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = RMB):

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer of the Company who reviews financial information of separate operating segments based on US GAAP. The chief operating decision maker now reviews results analyzed by service line. This analysis is only presented at the revenue level with no allocation of direct or indirect costs. Consequently, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. At September 30, 2011, the Company had common stock equivalents that could potentially dilute future earnings per share. See NOTE 10.

PRC

Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company was governed by the previous Income Tax Law (the “Previous Tax Law”) of China. Under the Previous Tax Law, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, Tsingda Management, Tsingda Century and Tsingda network, were entitled various preferential tax treatments.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress passed the new Enterprise Income Tax law (the “new EIT law”) which imposes a single income tax rate of 25% for most domestic enterprises and foreign investment enterprises. The new EIT law was effective as of January 1, 2008. The new EIT law provides a five-year transition period from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before March 16, 2007 and which were entitled to a preferential lower tax rate under the then effective tax laws or regulations, as well as grandfathering tax holidays. Further, according to the new EIT law, entities that qualify as “High and New Technology Enterprises” are entitled to the preferential EIT rate of 15%. Tsingda Century has received approval for the status as a

10


“High and New Technology Enterprises”. The status is valid for three years starting from June 2009 and will be renewed after evaluation by relevant government authorities every three years. Further, on December 26, 2007, the PRC government passed the detailed implementing rules which allow enterprises to continue to enjoy their unexpired tax holiday under the previous income tax laws and rules. As a result, under the new EIT law, Tsingda Century’s tax rate are 15% for the calendar years from 2010 to 2012 and subject to renewal of the status of “High and New Technology Enterprises” after calendar year 2012; and Tsingda Network, and Tsingda School’s tax rates are 25%. Tsingda Management’s tax rates are 22% and 24% for 2010 and 2011 and 25% thereafter.

NOTE 7 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 29, 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Board of Directors may grant ordinary shares and stock options to its employees. The Company granted 900,000 ordinary shares to three executives with no cost and granted one executive 100,000 non-qualified stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of $2 per share. The stock options vest over a term of 5 years.

The fair value of the ordinary shares was estimated on the date of issuance. The amount of compensation cost recognized for the

11


shares issued were $1,440,000 and $0 and were recorded in the general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company uses the Black-Sholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options. The fair value of stock options was estimated on the date of grant. Valuation assumptions used in the Black-Sholes option-pricing model for stock options granted include (1) discount rate of 2.13% based upon United States 5- year Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant; (2) expected term of 5 years; (3) expected volatility of 51% and (4) zero expected dividends. The calculated fair value of the options was $0.63 per share. No stock options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The amount of compensation cost recognized for the options granted were $5,291 and $0 and were recorded in the general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

No income tax benefit was recognized in the income statement for the shares and stock options as such compensation expenses were recorded and incurred by Tsingda eEDU Corporation, a Cayman Island incorporated entity.

On August 21, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with ZHR Fund, one of the Company’s original shareholders, to buy back 1,875,000 ordinary shares of the Company held by ZHR Fund at the price of $3.3, and the total cash payment is $6,187,500. On the same day, the Company retired such shares repurchased. As of September 30, 2011, the number of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares is 35,754,862. Concurrent with the shares repurchase, 656,250 shares of outstanding warrants attached with the shares repurchased were cancelled.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, which consists primarily of stock options and warrants, and is computed using the weighted-average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC. Readers of this Quarterly Report are strongly encouraged to review the risk factors relating to the Company which are set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on October 12, 2010 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

On May 24, 2010, Compass Acquisition Corporation and its controlling shareholders entered into a share exchange agreement (“Share Exchange Agreement”) with Tsing Da Century Education Technology Co. Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (“ Tsingda Technology “), and its shareholders. On November 15, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the change of the Company’s name from “Compass Acquisition Corporation” to “Tsingda eEDU Corporation” and the name change is effective immediately following the shareholder’s approval.

Tsingda Technology owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Beijing Tsingda Century Management Consulting Ltd. (“Tsingda Management “), a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“ PRC”). On April 26, 2010, Tsingda Management entered into a series of contractual agreements with Beijing Tsingda Century Investment Consultant of Education Co. Ltd (“ Tsingda Education “), a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, and its shareholders, in which Tsingda Management effectively assumed management of the business activities of Tsingda Education. Beijing Tsingda Century Network Technology Co. Ltd., a PRC company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tsingda Education. The contractual arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including a Consulting Services Agreement, Operating Agreement, Proxy Agreement, and Option Agreement, through which Tsingda Management has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Tsingda Education for a quarterly fee in the amount of 100% of Tsingda Education’s quarterly, after tax net profits. Additionally, Tsingda Education’s shareholders have pledged their rights, titles and equity interest in Tsingda Education as security for Tsingda Management to collect consulting and service fees through an Equity Pledge Agreement. In order to further reinforce Tsingda Management’s rights to control and operate Tsingda Education, Tsingda Education’s shareholders have granted Tsingda Management the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests in Tsingda Education through the Option Agreement. As all of the companies are under common control, this structure has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities and the financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.

Tsingda Education, with its subsidiary Tsingda Network, is a leading offline and online provider of educational services in the PRC. It has established the largest chain of education centers in the PRC, known as “Tsingda Learning Centers.” These offline educational centers principally target elementary school students and consist mainly of franchised locations. As of September 30, 2011, it has approximately 2,701 learning centers nationwide. It also has developed a robust, interactive educational platform which allows students to search and subscribe to virtual classrooms offered by a wide range of teachers in the PRC.

In addition, online revenues for nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased to $4,883,615 from $1,188,310 or the comparable period in 2010. We launched our online virtual classroom platform in September 2008.

Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred expenses, composed of selling and general and administrative expenses, of $12,974,795 compared with expenses of $6,076,614 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately 113.52%.

The increase reflected the marketing efforts spent on two new business projects: the Family Baby Club and Huang Gang Supplementary Education Center, and the continued promotion for our online education platform. The Family Baby Club targets pre-school children from zero to six years old and Huang Gang Supplementary Education Center provides well-regarded supplementary education to high school students. Huang Gang is an area in Hubei, China and is famous for its nationally top-ranked high school and the excellent academic performance of its students.

Our increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $4,070,794, an increase in accounts receivable of $7,764,604, and an increase of advance to suppliers of $1,511,693. In addition, taxes payable and account payable were increased by $3,577,898 and $1,385,754, respectively. While taxes payable reflects the increase in revenue and business tax, accounts payable were increased due to the improvements of the new office building and our internet infrastructure environment.

Our primary uses of cash have been for selling and marketing expenses, employee compensation, and working capital. The main sources of cash have been revenues from franchisees and from our company owned locations.

We believe the following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

 

An increase in working capital requirements to finance the growth of our company owned locations,

 

 

Addition of administrative and marketing personnel as the business grows,

 

 

Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for our franchising efforts in new and existing markets,

 

 

Software development and the purchase of servers commensurate with student population growth, and

 

 

The cost of being a public company and the continued increase in costs due to governmental compliance activities.

The Company currently generates cash flow through operations which we believe will be sufficient to sustain current operations for at least the next twelve months.

Cash flows from operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

The net cash provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $6,473,260 and $11,014,603, respectively, compared with $1,348,760 and $6,489,300, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2010. The increase on the operating cash inflows primarily reflected the results of revenue increase and expenses of market promotion activities and the implementation of share incentive plan as mentioned above. The detailed changes include the followings:

- Depreciation and amortization increased by$1,584,054 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period due to the increases in fixed assets and intangible assets.

- Accounts receivable increased by $4,904,939 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. The increase was primarily due to the growth of our revenues, which increased by 74.01% or $13,864,565 in the nine months period ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010.

- Advances to suppliers decreased by$4,310,701 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. The Company printed its newspaper amounting to over one million for the comparable period of 2010, while the promotion strategy was revised in 2011 and newsletter was released through the internet. In addition, the Company entrusted approximately $3,130,000 to its agents to open 15 company-owned learning centers and pay for the rent in 2010.

- Accounts payable increased by $1,367,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. The material increase was partly due to the continued improvement and interior decoration as well as new facilities acquired for our new headquarters and two new projects at the amount of $760,000. Furthermore, payables for advertising fees, bandwidth expansion and servers together account for over $215,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

- Taxes payable increased by $1,093,205 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period due to the sustained increase in our sales revenue.

The net cash consumed by investing activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $7,197,489 and $14,312,497, respectively, compared with $6,095,314 and $6,621,828, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2010. The increase

was primarily due to the additions to the intangible assets of $3,388,441 which were primarily composed of on-line teaching software and materials, including infant touch screen, courseware, multimedia network platform, CRM Calling center, senior high school network courses, Micro-blog, bonus platform, etc.

The net cash provided by financing activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $6,398,100 and $6,818,100, respectively, compared with $7,756,440 for the same three and nine months periods in 2010. The increases were primarily due to the followings:

- Cash received from the private placement increased by $3,994,374. On July 12, 2011, the Company offered up to 3,000,000 ordinary shares at $4.56 per share to AMI, while the Company issued 6,000,000 ordinary shares at $1.6 to ZHR Fund for the comparable 2010 period.

- Cash paid to repurchase shares. On August 21, 2011, the Company repurchased from ZHR Fund 1,875,000 ordinary shares at $3.3 per share, for a total of $6,187,500.

- Cash payments for stock issuance costs of $1,094,400 in the nine months period of 2011.

The effect on cash of exchange rates was a gain of $550,588 and a loss of $836,854 for the nine months periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. For the three months periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 the numbers were a gain of $537,173 and a loss of $835,669, respectively.

The differences between the closing balance of cash and cash equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are due to the reasons mentioned above.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity 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 stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements

A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition. Other than as indicated in this quarterly report, there have been no material revisions to the critical accounting policies as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 with the SEC on March 11, 2011.

Certain expense amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 for the comparative purposes.

Variable Interest Entities

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”) we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest entities. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the variable interest entity or is entitled to receive a majority of the variable interest entity’s residual returns. Variable interest entities are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity.

Tsingda Education is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and we are the primary beneficiary. On April 26, 2010, we entered into agreements with Tsingda Education pursuant to which we shall receive a quarterly fee in an amount equal Tsingda Education’s quarterly, after tax net profits. In accordance with these agreements, Tsingda Education shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its

20


quarterly, after tax net profits to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Tsingda Management, and Tsingda Management shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service Tsingda Education.

The accounts of Tsingda Education are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to FIN 46R. As a VIE, Tsingda Education’s sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with ours, and our net income includes all of Tsingda Education’s net income. We do not have any non-controlling interest and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in Tsingda Education that requires consolidation of Tsingda Education’s financial statements with our financial statements.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Notwithstanding the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to our lack of formalized policies with respect to such disclosure controls and procedures. Further, as of June 30, 2011, the Company had an advance outstanding in the amount of $134,691to the chief executive officer, Zhang Hui. As of the date of this report, the entire advance has been repaid to the Company. Management subsequently evaluated this transaction and determined that the transfers violated Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Management is taking actions to eliminate such transactions in the future.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
