Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 -NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Description of Business
 
China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc. (the “Company”), is an education company that owns and operates high-quality K-12 private boarding schools in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company established school operations in 1998 and currently operates three schools encompassing kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school levels. The Company’s schools are located in Shanxi and Sichuan Provinces and focus on fluency and cultural skills in both Chinese and English, as well as the PRC core curriculum.  The Company’s sector in education is not subject to corporate income tax.
 
Control by Principal Shareholders
 
The Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates or related parties, own beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. Accordingly, the directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets or business.
 
Financial Statements Presented

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 31, 2009 under the name Designer Export, Inc.  On June 30, 2010, the Company changed its name to China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc.

On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kahibah Limited (“KL”), a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) corporation and its shareholders. According to this Agreement, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of KL. The Company issued 26,100,076 shares of its common stock, after giving effect to the cancellation of 7,748,343 shares on June 30, 2010, to KL’s shareholders in exchange for 100% of the shares of KL. After the closing of the transaction, the Company had a total of 30,000,005 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, with KL’s shareholders owning 87% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and the balance held by those who held shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the closing of the exchange. This transaction resulted in KL’s shareholders obtaining a majority voting interest in the Company. All shares are shown effective of a 2.582781 forward stock split as of July 14, 2010.

The acquisition of KL and the operations of its subsidiaries were accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby KL is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes and is deemed, for accounting purposes, to be the acquirer of the Company.  In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for accounting for the business combination as a reverse merger, KL is deemed to have undergone a recapitalization, whereby KL is deemed to have issued common stock to the Company’s common equity holders.  Accordingly, although the Company, as KL’s parent company, was deemed to have legally acquired KL, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for accounting for the transaction as a reverse merger and re-capitalization, KL is the surviving entity for accounting purposes and its assets and liabilities are recorded at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded as a result of the accounting merger with the Company.

As part of the acquisition, the Company changed its name to China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc.  Share and per share amounts stated have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition. The accompanying financial statements present the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of KL and its operating subsidiaries prior to the recapitalization.

The historical consolidated financial statements of the Company are those of KL, and of the consolidated entities.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented for the six month and three month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 included the financial statements of China Bilingual, KL, KL’s subsidiary Taiyuan Taiji Industry Development co., Ltd. (“Taiyuan Taiji”), a wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”), which owns 95% of the registered capital of Shanxi Taiji Industry Development Co., Ltd. (“Shanxi Taiji”), an equity joint venture company organized under the laws of the PRC. Shanxi Taiji owns all of the registered capital of Shanxi Modern Bilingual School (“Shanxi North Campus”) and Sichuan Guang’an Experimental High School (“Sichuan Guang’an School”), both private non-enterprise entities incorporated under the laws of the PRC, collectively the “Subsidiaries.”

Since the ownership of KL and its Subsidiaries was substantially the same, the merger with each was accounted for as a transfer of equity interests between entities under common control, whereby the acquirer recognized the assets and liabilities of each Subsidiary transferred at their carrying amounts.  The reorganization was treated similar to the pooling of interest method with carry over basis.  Accordingly, the financial statements for KL and its Subsidiaries have been combined for all periods presented, similar to a pooling of interest.  The reorganization of entities under common control was retrospectively applied to the financial statements of all prior periods when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the transaction occurred.  Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidations.

On August 31, 2011, the Company entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement and purchased all of the outstanding equity of Shanxi Rising Education Investment Company Limited (the “Investment Company”) from the equity holders (the “Sellers”) for a total purchase consideration of RMB 690,000,000 (approximately $108,226,806).  The net present value of the total fair value consideration transferred equals RMB 616,023,000 (approximately $96,623,480), of which RMB 336,563,000 (approximately $52,790,055) has been paid. Under the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement the balance of the purchase price is to be paid over three years in three scheduled payments as follows:

 
1)  
RMB 153,437,000 (or RMB 135,016,000, approximately $21,177,319, net of discount) to be paid by August 31, 2012,
 
 
 
2)  
RMB 100,000,000 (or RMB 76,947,000, approximately $12,069,171, net of discount) by August 31, 2013, and
 
 
 
3)  
RMB 100,000,000 (or RMB 67,497,000, approximately $10,586,935, net of discount) by August 31, 2014.

The net present value of the payments is discounted at the Company’s current financing interest rate of 14%.
 
The Investment Company, a limited liability company established under the laws of the PRC, is an education company that owns and operates a K-12 private boarding school in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province of the PRC, encompassing kindergarten, primary and secondary education. The Investment Company was established in 2001 and it has share capital of RMB 70,000,000. It is the parent company of Shanxi Rising School (the "Rising School"), founded in 2002, which currently serves approximately 5,869 students from its location in Shanxi Province, PRC. The Rising School is now known by the Company as the “Shanxi South School.”

The acquisition of the Investment Company has been accounted for as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).  The total purchase consideration of RMB 690,000,000 has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of August 31, 2011. 
 
Prior to closing the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Company became involved in the operations of the Shanxi South School in the spring of 2011. With the consent of the Investment Company, the Company assisted in the operations, accounting and promotion of the school to attract more and better students for the 2011-2012 school year. Some of these responsibilities included collecting prepaid tuition, room & board and other school fees (“School Fees”) in advance of the school year, which combined with better operations, higher tuition rates and an increase in enrollment led to an increase in deferred revenue at the start of the 2011 – 2012 school year, which corresponds to the fiscal year from September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012. The Company’s involvement at the Shanxi South School was under the direction of Investment Company management until it assumed control of the Investment Company on August 31, 2011, in accordance with the Equity Transfer Agreement.
 
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statement, the total purchase price is allocated to the Company’s net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 31, 2011.  The adjustments record the purchase price allocation entries as of August 31, 2011, including allocation of fair values of the associated tangible assets, intangible assets and acquired liabilities, to eliminate the Company's historical equity balances and to record the estimated use of cash to fund the cash portion of the acquisition.  The adjustments also include certain decreases in intercompany balances eliminated in consolidation.  Accordingly, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be materially impacted by the results of the Company’s on-going operations after the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

(i) Shanxi Taiji Industrial Development Co., Ltd. was incorporated as a limited liability company on July 25, 1997 under PRC law. It is currently 95% owned by Taiyuan Taiji and 5% owned by Ms. Ren Baiv.  On November 25, 2009, KL entered into a share exchange agreement to sell the remaining 5% ownership to Ms. Ren Baiv. Ms. Ren Baiv is the sister of Mr. Ren Zhiqing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  At December 31, 2010, Ms. Ren Baiv paid 1 million Renminbi (“RMB”) as part of the capital contribution. The 5% ownership is held by Ms. Ren Baiv on behalf of the Taiyuan Taiji in accordance with local Chinese regulations, therefore no non-controlling interest is recognized.  Shanxi Taiji is an equity joint venture under the laws of the PRC. The Shanxi North Campus, Modern Bilingual School and Sichuan Guang’an Experimental High School (the “Schools”) hold the requisite governmental licenses to provide private educational services within their province in China.  Each province sets its own licensing criteria and duration following the general guidelines established by the national government for education standards.

(ii) Shanxi Modern Bilingual School (the “Shanxi North School”) was established in 1998 by Shanxi Taiji.  It operates as a private K-12 boarding school on a 38 acre campus in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province.  The Shanxi School holds a three year provincial license to be renewed May, 2013.

(iii)  Sichuan Guang’an Experimental High School (the “Sichuan Guang’an School”) was established in 2002 by Shanxi Taiji.  It operates as a private K-12 boarding school on a 23 acre campus in Guang’an, Sichuan Province.  The Sichuan Guang'an School holds a four year provincial license to be renewed May 2015.
 
(iv) Shanxi Rising Education Investment Company Ltd. (the “Investment Company”) was established in 2001 to own and operate private boarding schools in the PRC.  The Investment Company has share capital of RMB 70,000,000.  It is the parent company of one school, the Shanxi Rising School, which was acquired by the Company on August 31, 2011.  The Investment Company has no operations other than its ownership of the Shanxi Rising School.

(v) Shanxi Rising School (the “Shanxi South School”) was established in 2002 by the Investment Company as a private boarding school encompassing kindergarten, primary and secondary education located in the Shanxi Province of the PRC.  The school has been assimilated in the operation of the Company and re-branded as the Shanxi South School operating as a private K-12 boarding school on an 82 acre campus comprised of over 2.3 million square feet of facilities, including 18 dormitories with capacity for 10,000 students, academic classrooms, gymnasium, theatre, natatorium, cafeteria and other administrative and academic buildings. The Shanxi South School holds a four year provincial license to be renewed April 2015.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements at August 31, 2011 as filed in the Company Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 29, 2011.

NOTE 2 – USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Measurement, estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, the selection of the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, fair values and revenue recognition. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results, when ultimately realized, could differ from those estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to US GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. 
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of ASB ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB ASC as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
(a) 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB ASC Topic 820 that requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  As of February 29, 2012, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable, short term bank loans, and other payables approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates except for related party debt or receivables for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
Effective April 1, 2009, the FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in quarterly reports as well as in annual reports. 
 
The FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.
 
Various inputs are considered when determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risks, etc.).

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair market value of financial instruments).

The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 820 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. The Company had no financial assets and/or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis at February 29, 2012.

The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.

 (b)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no restrictions to cash at February 29, 2012. A substantial amount of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the PRC and is not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance or any other similar insurance. Given the current economic environment and the financial conditions of the banking industry there is a risk that deposits may not be readily available. Cash held in the PRC amounted to $6,491,216 and $15,088,156 at February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively.  The PRC places limitations on expatriating cash out of the country, which may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends. As of February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company had $2,262 and $2,365, respectively, in deposits in a federally insured United States (“US”) bank.  The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash in bank accounts.
 
(c)  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment and purchased land use rights) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” and FASB ASC Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements.”  The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows.  Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Through February 29, 2012, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.  However, there can be no assurances that demand for the Company’s services will continue, which could result in an impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
 
(d)  Income taxes

On March 16, 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress passed the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“New EIT Law”) which became effective on January 1, 2008.  Pursuant to the New EIT Law, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standards will be applied consistently to both domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises.

Shanxi Taiji, Taiyuan Taiji and the Investment Company are taxed pursuant to the New EIT Law with a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Shanxi Taiji, Taiyuan Taiji and the Investment Company did not pay any income taxes during the three months ended February 29, 2012 due to net losses experienced in the past reporting periods. The three entities may apply the past periods’ net operating losses to futures years’ profits in order to reduce tax liability. Since Shanxi Taiji, Taiyuan Taiji and Investment Company have minimal business operations, the three entities are unlikely to have profits in future periods. As a result, all deferred tax assets and liabilities are deminimus, and management would have a 100% valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets.
 
The Company has three subsidiaries registered as private schools (the “school-subsidiaries”), which are not subject to income taxes determined in accordance with the Law for Promoting Private Education (2003) and school-subsidiaries registered as private schools not requiring reasonable returns (similar to a not-for-profit entity) are treated as public schools and are generally not subject to enterprise income taxes. Therefore, the school-subsidiaries are tax exempt, including Shanxi North Campus, Shanxi South Campus and Sichuan Guangan School.

Kahibah Limited is exempt from income tax on all sources of income pursuant to the tax law in the British Virgin Islands. However, pursuant and subsequent to the reverse merger, the parent company in the U.S. may be subject to income tax in future years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current or non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  A provision has not been made at February 29, 2012, and 2011 for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because it is the present intention of management to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely in foreign operations.  Generally, such earnings become subject to U.S. tax upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances.  It is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability on such undistributed earnings.

The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the government.  However, the Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current government officials.

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011 are not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.  The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on the current PRC tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next twelve months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as of February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011.
 
(e)  Revenue Recognition and Prepaid School Fees

Revenues consist primarily of tuition, room & board and other fees (the "School Fees") derived from providing meals and housing for students living on campus. Revenues from School Fees are recognized pro-rata (on a straight-line basis) over the relevant period attended by the student of the applicable grade or program. The school year typically runs September 1 through August 31 and prepaid School Fees are recognized over the twelve-month period. If a student withdraws from a course or program within three months after the school year starts, the paid but unearned portion of the student’s School Fees is 67% refunded. If a student withdraws after the first three months in a school year, no School Fees will be refunded. As a result, the Company has recorded prepaid School Fees as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet in the event a student withdraws from school and the Company has to return a portion of the prepaid School Fees. In past years there were minimal students who withdrew from a course or program before the end of a school year.

The Company normally receives prepaid School Fees from students at their initial admission or before the start of the school year on September 1. As of August 31, 2011, all students are required to fully prepay school fees at the beginning of the school year by September 1, 2011 for the 2011-2012 school year. In prior periods this policy was not fully enforced. Some students will benefit from a discount of fees if they prepay School Fees for two to three years of school term. Prepaid School Fees is the portion of payments received but not earned and is reflected as a current liability under prepaid tuition in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are expected to be earned, but may be refundable within the next year.
 
Below is a schedule of prepaid School Fees as of February 29, 2012 expected to be recognized into revenue over twelve-month periods for school years ended August 31 (corresponds to the school year – September 1 through August 31) and thereafter as follows:

(f)  Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s principal country of operations is The PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi or RMB”) as the functional currency.  The results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.  The results of operations are translated from Renminbi to US Dollar at the weighted average rate of exchange during the reporting period.  The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution.   All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency (“US Dollars”) are dealt with as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Translation adjustments net of tax totaled $527,141 and $1,056,621, for the six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.  Translation adjustments net of tax totaled $507,532 and $440,123, for the three months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.

As of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the exchange rate to the U.S. Dollar was RMB 6.3003 and RMB 6.5730, respectively. The average exchange rate for the six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was RMB 6.3490 and RMB 6.6499, respectively. The average exchange rate for the three months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was RMB 6.3239 and RMB 6.6095, respectively.

The Company operates in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the USD and RMB.

 (g)  Comprehensive Income

The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.

Total comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders (i.e., issuance of equity securities and dividends). Generally, for the Company, total comprehensive income equals net income plus or minus adjustments for currency translation.  Total comprehensive income represents the activity for a period net of related tax and was $3,634,747 and $5,995,691, for the six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. Total comprehensive income was $2,962,700 and $2,643,717, for the three months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.

While total comprehensive income is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income as of the balance sheet date.  For the Company, AOCI is primarily the cumulative balance related to the currency adjustments and increased comprehensive income and equaled $2,965,583 and $2,438,442, as of February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively.
 
(h)  Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties

All of the Company’s operations are located in the PRC.  Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the US and PRC, and by the general state of the economy in the PRC. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the US. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully continue to provide the services offered and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  Also, the success of the Company’s operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management’s control.  These contingencies include general economic conditions, teacher salaries, competition, governmental and political conditions, and changes in regulations.  Because the Company is dependent on trade in the PRC, the Company is subject to various additional political, economic and other uncertainties.  Among other risks, the Company’s operations will be subject to risk of restrictions on transfer of funds, domestic and international customs, changing taxation policies, anti-inflationary measures, foreign exchange restrictions, and political and governmental regulations.

(i)  Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred or, as appropriate, the first time the advertising takes place.  Advertising costs for the six month and three month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 were not significant.

(j)  Research and Development

The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred.  Research and development costs for the six month and three month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, were not significant.

(k)  Basic and diluted earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic earnings per share is calculated dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares, stock options, warrants and other equity awards were converted or exercised during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, warrants and options are assumed to be 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.  In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.10 and $0.16 per share and $0.10 and $0.16 per share, respectively for the six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.08 and $0.07 per share and $0.08 and $0.07 per share, respectively for the three months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011.

(l)  Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

(m)  Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2011 and for the six month and three month periods ended February 28, 2011 in order to conform to the condensed consolidated financial statement presentation as of February 29, 2012. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.
 
(n)  Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2010-09 (ASC Topic 855), which amends Subsequent Events Recognition and Disclosures, ASU No. 2009-16 (ASC Topic 860), which amends Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets, ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-08, Earnings per Share, ASU No. 2009-12(ASC Topic 820), Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2011-11 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued.  These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant..

Other accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4 – INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.  The Company’s inventories are typically school supplies used in the normal course of business. When inventories are consumed, their carrying amounts are expensed in the year used.  Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the year of impairment or loss occurs.  Inventories consisted of the following:

Property and equipment are located at the Company’s three school locations in Shanxi and Sichuan Provinces in the PRC and are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. Major repairs and betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period benefited.  Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Those teachers who selected option (2) would be charged an interest of 7% if they do not make payment on time during the 8 year period. If teachers resign or leave the school for any reasons, they will be entitled to a refund based on the terms of the home purchase agreement. There were minimal refunds for the six month and three month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011.

Cash received from the buyer, including the initial investment and subsequent collections of principal and interest, is reported as a deposit. Interest collected that is subject to refund and is included in the deposit account before a sale is consummated is accounted for as part of buyer’s initial investment at the time the sale is consummated. There were no apartments sold for the six month and three month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, and as such the Company recognized no income from selling apartments.

NOTE 17 – TAXES

Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”)

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (formerly “FIN 48”, an interpretation of FASB statement No. 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.

Under ASC 740-10, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
  
The Company’s estimated income tax savings for the six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 18 – EARNING PER SHARE

FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share (EPS) computations. 

The Company only has common stock and no convertible instruments outstanding at February 29, 2012:
 
1.  
30,014,528 common shares issued and outstanding.
2.  
94,836 common shares to be issued for earned stock based compensation per agreements.
3.  
30,109,364 total common shares outstanding for the calculation of the weighted average common shares.
 
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share 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. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three month or six month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011. If the Company had dilutive securities it would have computed dilution by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, warrants and options are assumed to be 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.  
   
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended February 29, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended February 28, 2011
 
Revenues

For the three months ended February 29, 2012, we had total revenues of $10,953,811, an increase of $4,874,457 or 80.2% as compared to total revenues of $6,079,354 for the three months ended February 28, 2011. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to the acquisition of our third school campus – the Shanxi South School, which led to an increase in enrollment of 4,681 students at February 29, 2012 for the current 2011- 2012 school year from approximately 9,200 students to 13,881 students. During the three months ended February 29, 2012, our enrollment increased 661 students since the prior fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2011 primarily due to continued efforts to promote our third school campus. We also increased our average full-fare tuition by $226 or 7.2% to $3,352 per student for the 2011 – 2012 school year from $3,126 per student for the 2010 – 2011 school year. The Company recognizes prepaid school fees (including tuition, room & board and other school fees, herein after "School Fees") evenly over the twelve month period corresponding to the school year, which typically runs from September 1 to August 31.

Cost of Revenue
 
For the three months ended February 29, 2012, our cost of revenue was $5,793,920 (52.9% of revenues), as compared to cost of revenue of $3,516,802 (57.8% of revenues) for the three months ended February 28, 2011, representing an increase of $2,277,118 or 64.8%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily the result of increase in costs in connection with the acquisition of our third campus and the increase in enrollment of 4,681 students. Teacher and staff salaries increased $703,391 or 40.8% to $2,424,886 for the three months ended February 29, 2012 from $1,721,495 for the three months ended February 28, 2011.  Depreciation and amortization expense allocated to cost of revenue increased $578,427 or 193.1% to $877,921 for the three months ended February 29, 2012 from $299,494 for the same period in 2010.  As a percentage of revenues, the cost of revenue for the three months ended February 29, 2012 decreased to 52.9% from 60.9% for the six months ended February 29, 2012 as the Company enrolled more students to better absorb costs in connection with the third school acquisition and did not have as much one-time costs as the start of the school year as in the first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2011.

With the addition of our third campus, we have allocated students in our middle school from our Shanxi North School to our new Shanxi South School. The current capacity at our three school campuses is set forth below:

We continue to maintain our strict enrollment standards to preserve our strong academic reputation.  Based on our historical admission rates, we only enroll one student out of approximately every five applicants. We continue to seek quality applicants to maximize our enrollment, which lowers our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues as our overhead costs are primarily fixed.  We intend to maintain our current balance between enrollment and admission standards as we go forward in accepting new students.  We expect to achieve an enrollment of 95% of our capacity within three academic years at our current schools.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $259,259 or 70.7% to $625,971 for the three months ended February 29, 2012 from $366,712 for the same period of 2011.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to additional administrative overhead associated with the new school, as well as the increase in costs of operating as a public company, including legal, accounting and investor relations fees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $2,081,035 for the three months ended February 29, 2012 from $0 for the same period of 2011.  The increase in interest was a result of the financing for the acquisition of our third school, comprising $553,577 in interest on a bank loan of RMB 100,000,000 (approximately $15,872,260) obtained by the Company in August 2011 and $1,527,458 in interest for the accretion of the implied interest in the long-term and short-term portion of the payable - acquisition resulting from the fair value discount recorded as interest expense based on the payment plan to the seller.  The net present value of the imputed payments is discounted at the Company’s current financing interest rate of 14%.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

EBITDA increased $3,032,296 or 119.0% to $5,580,476 for the three months ended February 29, 2012 from $2,548,180 for the same period of 2011.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues as a result of the increase in total enrollment of 4,681 students for the three months ended February 29, 2012 over the same period of 2011.  For the three months ended February 29, 2012, total enrollment increased 661 students from the first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2011.  During the quarter ended February 29, 2012, the additional enrollment allowed the schools to better absorb fixed overhead costs and this second fiscal quarter of 2012 does not have as much one-time costs as the start of the school year as in the first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2011.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, we had net income attributable to shareholders in the amount of $2,455,168 for the three months ended February 29, 2012, as compared to $2,203,594 for the three months ended February 28, 2011. The increase of $251,574 or 11.4% between the periods resulted primarily from the increase in enrollment and our effective control of costs and expenses for the three months ended February 29, 2012. Interest, depreciation and amortization, primarily associated with the acqusition of the third facility, was $3,127,591.

Basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.08 per share for the three months ended February 29, 2012 from $0.07 per share for the three months ended February 28, 2011 due to the increase in net income.
 
Comprehensive Income

The functional currency of the Company is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), but we report our results in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to U.S. Dollars results in translation adjustments. As a result, we achieved a currency translation adjustment gain of $507,532 during the three months ended February 29, 2012, an increase of $67,409 or 15.3% as compared to a gain of $440,123 during the three months ended February 28, 2011. Our comprehensive income was $2,962,700 for the three months ended February 29, 2012, an increase of $318,983 or 12.1% as compared to $2,643,717 for the three months ended February 28, 2011.
 
For the Six Months Ended February 29, 2012 Compared to the Six Months Ended February 28, 2011
 
Revenues

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, we had total revenues of $21,379,797, an increase of $9,309,094 or 77.1% as compared to total revenues of $12,070,703 for the six months ended February 28, 2011. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to the acquisition of our third school campus – the Shanxi South School, which led to an increase in enrollment of 4,681 students for the current 2011- 2012 school year from approximately 9,200 students to 13,881 students. We also increased our average full-fare tuition by $226 or 7.2% to $3,352 per student for the 2011 – 2012 school year from $3,126 per student for the 2010 – 2011 school year.

Cost of Revenue
 
For the six months ended February 29, 2012, our cost of revenue was $13,026,950 (60.9% of revenues), as compared to cost of revenue of $6,450,399 (53.4% of revenues) for the six months ended February 28, 2011, representing an increase of $6,576,551 or 102.0%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily the result of an increase in costs in connection with the acquisition of our third campus and the increase in enrollment of 4,681 students. Teacher and staff salaries increased $3,426,978 or 171.0% to $5,431,398 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 from $2,004,420 for the six months ended February 28, 2011.  Depreciation and amortization expense allocated to cost of revenue increased $1,201,235 or 224.0% to $1,736,843 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 from $535,605 for the same period in 2011.
   
General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $429,865 or 61.4% to $1,130,493 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 from $700,628 for the same period of 2011.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to additional administrative overhead associated with the new school, as well as increase in the costs of operating as a public company, including legal, accounting and investor relations fees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $4,145,647 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 from $0 for the same period of 2011.  The increase in interest expense was a result of the financing for the acqusition of our third school, comprising $1,102,545 in interest on a bank loan of RMB 100,000,000 (approximately $15,872,260) obtained by the Company in August 2011 and $3,042,982 on the accretion of the implied interest in the long-term and short-term portion of the payable - acquisition resulting from the fair value discount recorded as interest expense based on the payment plan to the seller.  The net present value of the imputed payments is discounted at the Company’s current financing interest rate of 14%.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

EBITDA increased $3,750,073 or 67.6% to $9,296,232 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 from $5,546,159 for the same period of 2011.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues as a result of the increase in total enrollment of 4,681 students for the six months ended February 29, 2012.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, we had net income attributable to shareholders in the amount of $3,107,606 for the six months ended February 29, 2012, as compared to $4,939,070 for the six months ended February 28, 2011. The decrease of $1,831,464 or 37.1% between the periods resulted primarily from the increase in interest expense, depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisition of our third school. Interest, depreciation and amortization, primarily associated with the acqusition of the third facility, was $6,278,626.

Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased to $0.10 per share for the six months ended February 29, 2012 from $0.16 per share for the six months ended February 28, 2011 due to the decrease in net income.  
 
Comprehensive Income

The functional currency of the Company is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), but we report our results in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to U.S. Dollars results in translation adjustments. As a result, we achieved a currency translation adjustment gain of $527,141 during the six months ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $529,480 or 50.1% as compared to a gain of $1,056,621 during the six months ended February 28, 2011. Our comprehensive income was $3,634,747 for the six months ended February 29, 2012, a decrease of $2,360,944 or 39.4% as compared to $5,995,691 for the six months ended February 28, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of February 29, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were $6,493,478.  Our principal source of cash is prepaid School Fees from students who attend our schools. The Company collects full tuition in advance of the school year and therefore has no accounts receivable.  We also use our prepayment and other current assets balance of $4,989,990 to finance school related activities as advances or prepayment for the purchase of school and boarding related materials for the day-to-day operations of the schools.  Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing resources, including cash flow generated from operations as well as available bank loans, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirement for our current operations and any prepaid tuition obligations. Our bank loan has a one year term, typical of loans in the PRC, but may be renewed based on the credit worthiness of the Company.  The Company also has $8,089,694 in related party debt from its Chairman, which is non-interest bearing and may be renewed beyond the current term.  The Company’s short-term payable – acquisition installment payment of $18,409,929 for the acquisition of the Shanxi South Campus is due on August 31, 2012.  The Company anticipates that it will have collected substantially all of its prepaid tuition for the 2012 – 2013 school year at that time and based on its profit margin will be able to use a substantial portion of those proceeds to retire this debt.  The Company is also considering alternative longer-term outside financing of debt or equity based on the asset strength of its balance sheet.  In order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, however, we will require additional capital either from our shareholders or from outside sources, although there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital at suitable terms if and when it is needed.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Cash used in operating activities increased $1,409,395 or 57.1% to $3,877,159 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $2,467,764 used in operating activities for the six months ended February 28, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the decrease in prepaid school fees from the recognition of revenues during the six months ended February 29, 2012, since school fees are fully collected at the beginning of the school year and recognized over 12 months.  The increase in cash used in operating activities is derived from the earnings from the additional students from the newly acquired school, offset by the increased financing and operating costs, as well as increased depreciation and amortization from the assets acquired.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities decreased $3,308,770 or 86.2% to $530,023 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 as compared to $3,838,793 used in the six months ended February 28, 2011. The decrease in cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from the decrease in the deposit associated with the acquisition of the Shanxi South Campus.
 
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
 
Cash used in financing activities increased $4,328,483 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 as compared to $0 used in the six months ended February 28, 2011. The increase in cash used in financing activities resulted from the repayment of loans associated with the acquisition of the Shanxi South School.

Plan of Operations

As described herein, the Company completed the Equity Transfer Agreement dated August 31, 2011 for the acquisition of the Shanxi South School, formerly known as the Shanxi Rising School.  We expect to continue to expand our enrollment base utilizing the excess capacity at our existing schools in addition to marketing and expanding enrollment at the Shanxi South School.  Our strategy is to leverage our strong academic reputation to develop additional business.  We are also actively seeking opportunities to expand our business that we consider accretive to earnings.  We intend to grow our business model through the acquisition of existing schools to increase our total enrollment.  In order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, however, we will require additional capital either from our shareholders or from outside sources, although there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital at suitable terms if and when it is needed.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships that are currently material or reasonably likely to be material to our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In connection with the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. The assumptions, estimates and judgments included within these estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors the Company believes to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. On a regular basis, the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments are reviewed to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to: (1) asset impairments (2) revenue recognition. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. The Company evaluates and updates these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist with these evaluations. Actual results could differ from the estimates that have been used.

Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company’s reported financial results, as they require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Impairment analysis for long-lived assets and intangible assets

The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment and purchased intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, and FASB ASC Topic 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements”.  The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows.  Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Through February 29, 2012, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets. 
 
Revenue Recognition

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenues when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company records revenues when the following four fundamental criteria under SAB 104 are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as prepaid tuition.
 
Revenues consist primarily of tuition and fees derived from providing meals and housing for students living on campus. Revenues from tuition and fees are recognized pro-rata (on a straight-line basis) over the relevant period attended by the student of the applicable grade or program. The school year runs September 1 through August 31 and prepaid tuition is recognized over the twelve-month period. If a student withdraws from a course or program within three months after the school year starts, the paid but unearned portion of the student’s tuition is 67% refunded. If a student withdraws after the first three months in a school year, no tuition will be refunded. As a result, the Company has recorded prepaid tuition as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet in the event a student withdraws from school and the Company has to return a portion of the prepaid tuition. In past years there were minimal students who withdrew from a course or program before the end of a school year.

The Company normally receives prepaid tuition and fees from students at their initial admission or before the start of the school year on September 1. Some students will benefit from a discount of fees if they prepay tuition for two to three years of school term. Prepaid tuition is the portion of payments received but not earned and is reflected as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are expected to be earned, but may be refundable within the next year.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors and the Board has reviewed the disclosures presented above relating to them.
   
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of February 29, 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Ren Zhiqing, and Chief Financial Officer, Michael Toups, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the three months ended February 29, 2012, we have taken additional measures to strengthen our financial controls, which have included hiring additional accounting staff with greater expertise and allocating financial and human resources to strengthen our internal control structure.  We also plan to contract with an outside consulting firm to assist the Company in our Sarbanes Oxley (“SOX”) compliance and internal controls.  The Company has internally begun the processes toward SOX compliance, including mapping, testing, analysis and assessment.  The Company has hired an internal person to work directly with the external consultants regarding internal controls.  This person’s experience included eight years of audit and business advisory work with a “Big 4” accounting firm, as well as an affiliate of an international accounting and consulting firm.  With the addition of the Shanxi South School, the Company will also be hiring additional accounting and administrative support personnel to work with our accounting staff on our month-end, quarter-end and year-end closings and procedures.  We are in the process of bringing all three schools onto the same accounting platform and procedures.
 
The Company's efforts are designed to address our internal controls for financial reporting and to strengthen our overall control environment. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors, even as the aforementioned remediation measures are implemented and further improved to address all deficiencies.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
