CHINA UNITED INSURANCE SERVICE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
China United Insurance Service, Inc. (“China United” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation organized on June 4, 2010 by Mao Yi Hsiao, a Taiwanese citizen, as a listing vehicle for ZLI Holdings Limited (“CU Hong Kong”) to be quoted on the United States Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”).
CU Hong Kong, a wholly owned Hong Kong-based subsidiary of China United, was founded by China United, on July 12, 2010 under Hong Kong law. On October 20, 2010, CU Hong Kong founded a wholly foreign owned enterprise, Zhengzhou Zhonglian Hengfu Business Consulting Co., Ltd. (“CU WFOE”) in Henan province in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
On January 16, 2011, the Company issued 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value, to several non US persons for $300,000. The issuance was made pursuant to an exemption from registration in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a result of the issuance of 20,000,000 shares, the owners of Henan Anhou (accounting acquirer) owned 100% of the Company. Accordingly, this transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Henan Anhou. The historical financial statements presented are those of the accounting acquirer for all periods presented. On January 28, 2011, the Company increased the number of authorized shares from 30,000,000 to 100,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Henan Law Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (“Henan Anhou”, formerly known as Zhengzhou Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd.) was incorporated in the PRC on August 20, 2003. Henan Anhou provides insurance agency services in the PRC.
Sichuan Kangzhuang Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Kangzhuang”) was founded on July 10, 2006 in the Sichuan province in the PRC and provides insurance agency services in the PRC. On August 23, 2010, at Sichuan Kangzhuang’s general meeting of shareholders, its shareholders voted to sell their shares to Henan Anhou for RMB532,622 ($78,318). On September 6, 2010, the equity transfer agreements were signed between Henan Anhou and each shareholder of Sichuan Kangzhuang. Sichuan Kangzhuang then had net liabilities of RMB219,123 ($32,134). Goodwill of RMB751,745 ($110,452) was therefore recorded. Goodwill in the balance sheet differs from the acquisition date amount due to changes in exchange rates.
Jiangsu Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu Law”) was founded on May 18, 2005 in Jiangsu Province in the PRC. Jiangsu Law provides insurance brokerage services in the PRC. On August 12, 2010, at Jiangsu Law’s general meeting of shareholders, its shareholders voted to sell their shares to Henan Anhou for RMB518,000 ($75,475) and Henan Anhou increased Jiangsu Law’s paid-in capital to RMB10,000,000 ($1,355,150) from RMB5,180,000 ($625,113), on January 18, 2011, to meet the PRC paid-in capital requirements for insurance brokerage companies. On September 28, 2010, the equity transfer agreements were signed between Henan Anhou and each shareholder of Jiangsu Law. The consideration is due upon request and had not been paid as at February 12, 2012. On acquisition date, Jiangsu Law had net assets of RMB2,286,842 ($341,425). Based on the purchase price allocation, the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of the consideration paid. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on acquisition of RMB1,768,842 ($267,156).
On January 17, 2011, CU WFOE and Henan Anhou and its shareholders entered into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) pursuant to which CU WFOE has effective control over Henan Anhou.

On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company approved, in connection with a reclassification of 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reclassified Shares”), par value $0.00001 per share held by Mao Yi Hsiao (“Mr. Mao”) into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) on a share-for-share basis (the “Reclassification”), the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Mao and cancellation of 1,000,000 common stock held and submitted by Mr. Mao pursuant to the Reclassification. All of the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were reclassified from the 1,000,000 common stock held by Mr. Mao and no additional consideration was paid by Mr. Mao in connection with the Reclassification. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company; while each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to ten votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such holder as of the applicable record date on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.
On August 24, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares (representing 100% of voting equity interest) of Action Holdings Financial Limited (“AHFL”), an LLC incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on April 30, 2012, together with its subsidiaries in Taiwan. Pursuant to the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement and for all of the issued and outstanding shares of AHFL, the Company will pay NT$15 million ($500,815) on or prior to March 31, 2013 and New Taiwan Dollar(“NT$”) NT$7.5 million ($250,095) subsequent to March 31, 2013 in cash in two installments, subject to terms and conditions therein. In addition the Company agreed to (i) issue 8,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the shareholders of AHFL; (ii) issue 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to certain employees of Law Broker; and (iii) create an employee stock option pool, consisting of available options, exercisable for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On August 17, 2012, AHFL purchased 13,593,015 shares of common stock of Law Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“Law Enterprise”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Taiwan on January 30, 1996, from certain shareholders at $NT12.8 ($0.44) per share, which was 65.95% of ownership interest in Law Enterprise. As of August 24, 2012, Law Enterprise held (i) 100% of Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd. (“Law Broker”), a company limited by shares incorporated in Taiwan on October 9, 1992; (ii) 97.84% of Law Risk Management & Consultant Co., Ltd. (“Law Management”), a company limited by shares incorporated in Taiwan on December 5, 1987; and (iii) 96% of Law Insurance Agent Co., Ltd. (“Law Agent”), an LLC incorporated in Taiwan on June 3, 2000.
Law Enterprise is a holding company for its operating subsidiaries in Taiwan. Law Broker primarily engages in insurance brokerage and insurance agency service business across Taiwan, while Law Management and Law Agent are not in operation.
The corporate structure after the acquisition is:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China United and its subsidiaries as shown in the organization structure in Note 1 above. The results of operations of AHFL and subsidiaries are included since August 31, 2012 the date of acquisition for accounting convenience. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP"). The functional currency for our subsidiaries in Taiwan is $NT and for the VIEs in China is Renminbi (“RMB”).
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interest consists of direct and indirect equity interest in AHFL and subsidiaries arising from the acquisition of AHFL by CUIS.
6 |
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which governs the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements.
The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Losses attributable to the NCI in a subsidiary may exceed the NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to the NCI is attributed to those interests. The NCI shall continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Management makes these estimates using the best information available when they are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, and foreign currency exchange rates.
Comprehensive Income
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 220 (“ASC 220”), “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. ASC 220 defines comprehensive income as net income and all changes to stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The consolidated financial statements were translated into United States Dollars (“USD”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830 "Foreign Currency Transaction". According to the statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates; stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income". Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions are reflected in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss).
Cash and Equivalents
For Statements of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers cash on hand, bank deposits, and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, such as commercial paper, to be cash and equivalents.
The Company maintains cash with banks in the PRC and Taiwan. Cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank holding cash become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose the cash with that bank; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
7 |
Marketable Securities
The Company invests part of its excess cash in equity securities, money market funds and government bonds. Such investments are included in “Marketable securities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity securities investments are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value (“FV”) with changes in FV recorded in “Other Income”. Bonds are classified as available-for-sale and reported at FV with unrealized gains and losses included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”
Accounts Receivable
The Company reviews its accounts receivable regularly to determine if a bad debt allowance is necessary at each period-end. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes the age of receivables outstanding, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the necessity of making such allowance.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gain or loss on disposal of property, plant or equipment is recorded in other income at disposal. Expenditures for betterments, renewals and additions are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over a useful life of three to ten years with salvage of 10% to 25%. Property, plant and equipment mainly consist of office furniture, computers and leasehold improvements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by it. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its FV. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or FV, less cost of disposal. No impairment was recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.
Goodwill
Goodwill arose from the acquisition of Sichuan Kangzhuang (Note 8). Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the FV of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it might be impaired, using the prescribed two-step process under US GAAP. The first step screens for potential impairment of goodwill to determine if the FV of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, while the second step measures the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, by comparing the implied FV of goodwill to its carrying value. As of December 31, 2012, there are no indications of any impairment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is from insurance agency and brokerage services. The Company, through its subsidiaries, sells insurance products to customers, and obtains commissions from the respective insurance companies according to the terms of each insurance company service agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement between the insurance company and insured exists, services were provided, the fee for such services is fixed or determinable and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Insurance agency services are considered complete, and revenue is recognized, when an insurance policy becomes effective. The customers are entitled to a 10-day cancellation period from the date of issuance of the policies, in which customers can cancel the contract without any fees. The Company is notified of such cancellations by the insurance carriers. For the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, policy cancellations were $15,087 and nil, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, policy cancellations were $4,470 and nil, respectively.
8 |
The Company pays commissions to its sub-agents when an insurance product is sold by the sub-agent. The Company recognizes commission revenue on a gross basis. The commissions paid by the Company to its sub-agents are recorded as cost of revenue.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
When tax returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in general and administrative expenses in the statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31and June 30, 2012, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.
The Company was not subjected to income tax examinations by taxing authorities during the current or past fiscal years. During the six months and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines FV, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of FV measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are reasonable estimates of FV because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follows:
• Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
• Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
• Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the FV.

Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 (audited), substantially all of the Company’s cash and equivalents and restricted cash was held by major financial institutions in Taiwan, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company generally does not require collateral and does not have an allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company has two principal insurance companies, Fubong Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (“Fubong”) and Far Glory Life Insurance (“Far Glory”), for which it acts as an insurance agent. For the six months and three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s revenues from sale of insurance policies underwritten by these two companies was:

The Company's operations are in the PRC and Taiwan. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, foreign currency exchange and legal environments in the PRC and Taiwan, and by the state of each economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC and Taiwan, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Operating Leases
Leases, where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company, that do not meet the capitalization criteria of ASC Topic 840 “Leases”, are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals under operating leases are expensed on the straight-line basis over the lease term.
Segment Reporting
The Company follows ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, for its segment reporting. For the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s chief operating decision maker managed and reviewed its business as a single operating segment providing insurance brokerage and agency services across the PRC and Taiwan (combined referred as “Greater China”). All revenues are derived from Greater China and all long-lived assets are in Greater China.

Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which could result in a loss to the Company but which will be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgment. In assessing loss contingencies arising from legal proceedings pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may rise from such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable a material loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
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 and an average exchange rate is used. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Cash from operating, investing and financing activities is net of the effect of acquisition described in Note 9.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company follows ASC Subtopic 810-10-05-8”, "Consolidation of VIEs” which states that a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.
Due to the PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in insurance agency and brokerage businesses in China, especially those on qualifications as well as capital requirement of the investors, the Company operates its insurance agency and brokerage business primarily through Henan Anhou, a VIE owned by four individual shareholders, and two subsidiaries of Henan Anhou.
On January 17, 2011, CU WFOE and Henan Anhou and its shareholders entered into VIE Agreements which included:
¨ | Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement (“EBCA”) through which: (1) CU WFOE has the right to provide Henan Anhou with complete technical support, business support and related consulting services during the term of this Agreement; (2) Henan Anhou agrees to accept all the consultations and services provided by CU WFOE. Henan Anhou further agrees that unless with CU WFOE's prior written consent, during the term of this Agreement, Henan Anhou shall not directly or indirectly accept the same or any similar consultations and/or services provided by any third party and shall not establish similar cooperation relationship with any third party regarding the matters contemplated by this Agreement; (3) Henan Anhou shall pay CU WFOE fees equal to 90% of the net income of Henan Anhou, and the payment is quarterly, and (4) CU WFOE retains all exclusive and proprietary rights and interests in all rights, ownership, interests and intellectual properties arising out of or created during the performance of this Agreement. |
The term of this Agreement is 10 years. Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, both CU WFOE and Henan Anhou shall review this Agreement on an annual basis to determine whether to amend or supplement the provisions. The term of this Agreement may be extended if confirmed in writing by CU WFOE prior to the expiration thereof. The extended term shall be determined by CU WFOE, and Henan Anhou shall accept such extended term unconditionally.
11 |
During the term of this Agreement, unless CU WFOE commits gross negligence, or a fraudulent act, against Henan Anhou, Henan Anhou may not terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration date. Nevertheless, CU WFOE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon giving 30 days prior written notice to Henan Anhou at any time.
¨ | Power of Attorney under which each shareholder of Henan Anhou executed an irrevocable power of attorney to authorize CU WFOE to act on behalf of the shareholder to exercise all of his/her rights as equity owner of Henan Anhou, including without limitation to: (1) attend shareholders' meetings of Henan Anhou; (2) exercise all the shareholder's rights and shareholder's voting rights that he/she is entitled to under the laws of the PRC and Henan Anhou's Articles of Association, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of the shareholder’s shareholding in part or in whole, and (3) designate and appoint on behalf of the shareholder the legal representative, the director, supervisor, the chief executive officer and other senior management members of Henan Anhou. |
¨ | Option Agreement under which the shareholders of Henan Anhou irrevocably granted CU WFOE or its designated person an exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire, at any time, the entire portion of Henan Anhou’s equity interest held by each shareholder of Henan Anhou, or any portion thereof, to the extent permitted by PRC law. The purchase price for the shareholders’ equity interests in Henan Anhou shall be the lower of (i) RMB 1 ($0.16) and (ii) the lowest price allowed by relevant laws and regulations. If appraisal is required by the laws of PRC when CU WFOE exercises the Equity Interest Purchase Option (as defined in the Option Agreement), the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and based on the appraisal result make necessary adjustment to the Equity Interest Purchase Price (as defined in the Option Agreement) so that it complies with any and all then applicable laws of the PRC. The term of this Agreement is 10 years, and may be renewed at CU WFOE's election. |
¨ | Share Pledge Agreement under which the owners of Henan Anhou pledged their equity interests in Henan Anhou to CU WFOE to guarantee Henan Anhou’s performance of its obligations under the EBCA. Pursuant to this agreement, if Henan Anhou fails to pay the exclusive consulting or service fees in accordance with the EBCA, CU WFOE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to dispose of the owners of Henan Anhou’s equity interests in Henan Anhou. This Agreement shall be continuously valid until all payments due under the EBCA have been repaid by Henan Anhou or its subsidiaries. |
As a result of the agreements among CU WFOE, the shareholders of Henan Anhou and Henan Anhou, CU WFOE is considered the primary beneficiary of Henan Anhou, CU WFOE has effective control over Henan Anhou. Therefore, CU WFOE consolidates the results of operations of Henan Anhou and its subsidiaries. Accordingly the results of operations, assets and liabilities of Henan Anhou and its subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements from the earliest period presented. However, the VIE is monitored by the Company to determine if any events have occurred that could cause its primary beneficiary status to change. These events include:
a. | The legal entity's governing documents or contractual arrangements are changed in a manner that changes the characteristics or adequacy of the legal entity's equity investment at risk. |
b. | The equity investment or some part thereof is returned to the equity investors, and other interests become exposed to expected losses of the legal entity. |
c. | The legal entity undertakes additional activities or acquires additional assets, beyond those anticipated at the later of the inception of the entity or the latest reconsideration event, that increase the entity's expected losses. |
d. | The legal entity receives an additional equity investment that is at risk, or the legal entity curtails or modifies its activities in a way that decreases its expected losses. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02 Receivables Topic 310 "A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring". The amendments in ASU 2011-02 provide additional guidance to clarify when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) to address current diversity in practice and lead to more consistent application of US GAAP for debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist:
1. | The restructuring constitutes a concession. |
2. | The debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. |
The amendments to Topic 310 clarify the guidance regarding the evaluation of both considerations above. Additionally, the amendments clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor's guidance on restructuring of payables (paragraph 470-60-55-10) when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. ASU No. 2011-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03 Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”. The amendments in this ASU 2011-03 remove from the assessment of effective control:
1. | The criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on the substantially agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee; and |
2. | The collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. |
Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in Topic 860. The guidance in this Update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), “Amendments to achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments in this Update change the wording used to describe the requirements in US GAAP for measuring FV and for disclosing information about FV measurements. The amendments include the following:
1. | Those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing FV measurement and disclosure requirements. |
2. | Those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring FV or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. |
In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that US GAAP and IFRS FV measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way (for example, using the word shall rather than should to describe the requirements in US GAAP).
The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. In this Update, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.
13 |
The amendments in Topic 860 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the FV of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 7–OTHER ASSETS
The Company’s other assets mainly consist of deposits and restricted cash of $38,356. Restricted cash is a deposit in bank by the Company in conformity with Provisions on the Supervision and Administration of Specialized Insurance Agencies, and cannot be withdrawn without the permission of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission. Deposits include long-term leasing deposits.
NOTE 8 – GOODWILL
On September 6, 2010, Henan Anhou paid RMB532,622 ($78,318) to acquire 100% of Sichuan Kangzhuang from its previous shareholders. Sichuan Kangzhuang then had net liabilities of RMB219,123 ($32,134). Goodwill of RMB751,745 ($110,452) was therefore recorded. Goodwill in the balance sheet differs from the acquisition date amount due to changes in exchange rates. As of December 31, 2012, there are no indications of any impairment. No intangible assets are identified in the acquisition date. At the date of acquisition, Sichuan Kangzhuang has no unfulfilled customer contract or software. Sichuan Kangzhuang’s business process and accounting system are not unique and the management planned to use unified operating platform after the acquisition. Sichuan Kangzhuang’s business is mainly with retailing customers, and the management considered there is no customer relationship or customer list that will probably create future business opportunities for the Company.
On September 28, 2010, Henan Anhou acquired 100% of Jiangsu Law for RMB518,000 ($75,475). Jiangsu Law then had net assets of RMB2,286,842 ($341,425). Based on the purchase price allocation, the FV of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed exceeded the FV of the consideration paid. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on acquisition of RMB1,768,842 ($267,156). We believe the gain on acquisition resulted from the sellers’ intent to exit the insurance business. To comply with the PRC requirements for the insurance brokerage companies, Henan Anhou contributed cash to increase the paid-in capital of Jiangsu Law to RMB10,000,000 ($1,355,150) from RMB5,180,000 ($625,113) on January 18, 2011.
NOTE 9 – ACQUISITION DURING THE PERIOD
On August 24, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of AHFL for $2,750,910. NT$15 million ($500,815) and NT$7.5 million ($250,095) payable in cash in two installments, and issue 10 million shares of common stock at the then market price of $0.20 per share. The FV of the identifiable assets and liabilities of AHFL at acquisition date was $8,047,654. The company recorded the $5,280,043 excess of purchase price over the FV of assets and liabilities acquired as bargain gain on purchase. We believe the gain on acquisition resulted from the sellers' strategic intent to enter the PRC market, which has a higher growth rate than Taiwan, and to become the shareholder of an OTCBB company.
15 |
We use August 31, 2012 as the closest available date to value the FV of the identifiable assets and liabilities of AHFL at acquisition date. The consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income for the six months ended December 31, 2012 contains AHFL’s statement of income and other comprehensive income for the four months ended December 31, 2012. The consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 2012 contains AHFL’s statement of income and other comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 2012.The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 contains AHFL’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2012.

Commissions due to sub-agents and salaries payable to administrative staff are usually settled within 12 months. Due to previous shareholders of AHFL is the balance described in Note 9. Due to previous shareholders of Jiangsu Law is the remaining balance of the acquisition cost. The acquisition agreement between the parties has not specified the exact time for payment of the acquisition price or imposed any interest for late payment. Others are mainly for operating expenses payable within the credit terms provided by suppliers.
NOTE 11– INCOME TAX
CU WFOE, the Company’s subsidiary, and the VIEs in the PRC, are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriated adjustments. Except for Jiangsu Law, according to the requirement of local tax authorities, the tax basis is deemed as 10% of total revenue, instead of net income. The tax rate of Jiangsu Law is also 25%.
According to tax regulations by the Chinese tax authorities effective January 1, 2008, commissions paid to sub-agents in excess of 5% of the commission revenue were not tax deductible. Therefore, as of June 30, 2012, Henan Anhou and Sichuan Kangzhuang accrued income tax payable of $400,229 for non-deductible commissions occurred before June 30, 2012.
According to China State Administration of Taxation #15 Announcement in 2012, effective from 2011, such commissions can be fully deducted. Also, such tax payable over three years can be reversed. Therefore we reversed the tax payable of $114,125 accrued before December 31, 2009 for such originally non-deductible commission and credited as income tax benefit.
The Company’s subsidiaries in Taiwan are governed by the Income Tax Law of Taiwan, and are generally subject to tax at 17% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate adjustments.
The balance of income tax payable as of December 31, 2012 mainly is the income tax accrued for the un-deductible commission paid to sub-agents before 2011 and is due upon written request of the local tax bureau.
The following table reconciles the US statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
US statutory rate | 34 | % | (34 | )% | ||||
Tax rate difference | (4 | )% | (7 | )% | ||||
Tax basis difference | - | (7 | )% | |||||
Tax un-deductible cost | (2 | )% | 206 | % | ||||
Gain on bargain purchase of subsidiary | (26 | )% | - | |||||
Tax per financial statements | 2 | % | 158 | % |
The following table reconciles the US statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

On September 28, 2010, the equity transfer agreements were signed between Henan Anhou and each shareholder of Jiangsu Law.
Acquisition of AHFL
On August 24, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Action Holdings Financial Limited (“AHFL”), a limited liability company (“LLC”) incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on April 30, 2012, together with its subsidiaries in Taiwan. Subsequent to the acquisition, AHFL became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.
AHFL holds 65.95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Law Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“Law Enterprise”), a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Taiwan on January 30, 1996. Law Enterprise holds (i) 100% Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd.

23 |
Law Enterprise is a holding company of its operating subsidiaries in Taiwan. Law Broker primarily engages in insurance brokerage and insurance agency service business across Taiwan, while Law Management and Law Agent are not active. We operate our Taiwan business primarily through Law Broker.
Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in insurance agency and brokerage businesses in China, especially those on qualifications and capital requirements of the investors, we operate our business primarily through our Consolidated Affiliated Entities (“CAE”) in China. We do not hold equity interests in our CAE. However, through the variable interest entities (“VIE”) Agreements with these CAE and their respective shareholders, we effectively control, and are able to derive substantially all of the economic benefits from, these CAE.
Our CAE in China are VIE through which all of our insurance services are operated. It is through the VIE Agreements that we have effective control of the CAE, which allows us to consolidate the financial results of the CAE in our financial statements. If Henan Anhou and its shareholders fail to perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements, we could be limited in our ability to enforce the VIE Agreements that give us effective control. Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain effective control of our CAE, we would not be able to continue to consolidate the CAE’s financial results with our financial results. During fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, 100% of our revenues in our consolidated financial statements were derived from our CAE. For more information see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”
24 |
On January 17, 2011, CU WFOE and Henan Anhou and its shareholders entered into a series of agreements known as variable interest agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) pursuant to which CU WFOE has executed effective control over Henan Anhou through these contractual arrangements.
As of December 31, 2012, through our CAE, we had two insurance agencies and one brokerage and 37 service outlets with 916 full-time sales professionals, 37 part-time sales professionals and 67 administrative staff in Henan, Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces in China. In addition, through Law Insurance Broker Co., Ltd., we had 22 sales and service outlets (including the headquarters) and 1424 full-time sales professionals, 489 part-time sales professionals and 151 administrative staff in Taiwan.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) 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 dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available when they are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting the Company’s financial statements; the Company believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments The Company has not made any material changes in the methodology used in these accounting polices during the past two years.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China United and its subsidiaries. The results of operations of AHFL and subsidiaries are included since August 31, 2012 the date of acquisition for accounting convenience. All significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts receivable
The Company reviews its accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if a bad debt allowance is necessary. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes the age of receivable outstanding, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the necessity of making such allowance.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue is from insurance agency and brokerage services. The Company, through its subsidiaries, sells insurance products to customers, and obtains commissions from the respective insurance companies according to the terms of each insurance company service agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement between the insurance company and insured exists, services were provided, the fee for such services is fixed or determinable and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Insurance agency services are considered complete, and revenue is recognized, when an insurance policy becomes effective. The customers are entitled to a 10-day cancellation period from the date of the issuance of the policies, in which the customers can cancel the contract without any fees. The Company is notified of such cancellations by the insurance carriers.
The Company pays commissions to its sub-agents when an insurance product is sold by the sub-agent. The Company recognizes commission revenue on a gross basis. The commissions paid by the Company to its sub-agents are recorded as costs of revenue.
25 |
Income taxes
The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
When tax returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 (audited), the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.
The Company was not subjected to income tax examinations by taxing authorities during the current and past fiscal years. During the three months and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value (“FV”). Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or FV, less costs of disposal.
Goodwill
Goodwill arose from the acquisition of Sichuan Kangzhuang. Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the FV of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, using the prescribed two-step process under US GAAP. The first step screens for potential impairment of goodwill to determine if the FV of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, while the second step measures the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, by comparing the implied FV of goodwill to its carrying value.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
Our results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 contains the results for three months ended December 30, 2012 of AHFL. The majority of AHFL’s result is generated by Law Broker, its subsidiary in Taiwan. Acquisition of AHFL enables us to expand our business to Taiwan.

The increase in commissions and fees was mainly attributable to our new operations in Taiwan after August 24, 2012 that occurred as a result of our acquisition of AHFL.
As a distributor of insurance products, we derive our revenue primarily from commissions and fees paid by insurance companies, typically calculated as a percentage of premiums paid by our customers to the insurance companies. We generate revenue primarily through our sales force, which consists of individual sales agents in our distribution and service network. The acquisition of AHFL enabled us to reach untapped market in Taiwan and increased our sub agent numbers from 1,098 as of June 30, 2012 to 2,829 as of December 31, 2012.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, G&A expenses were $3,496,254, and increased by $3,211,303, or 1,127%, compared with $ 284,951 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The growth of expenses is due to the overall growth of our business and the acquisition of AHFL. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company accrued $200,000 for expenses related to the acquisition.
Other income
Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was mainly rental income of spare offices and garage.
Income tax
CU WFOE, the Company’s subsidiary, and the VIEs in the PRC, are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriated adjustments. Except for Jiangsu Law, according to the requirement of local tax authorities, the tax basis is deemed as 10% of total revenue, instead of net income. The tax rate of Jiangsu Law is also 25%.
According to tax regulations by Chinese tax authorities effective January 1, 2008, commissions paid to sub-agents in excess of 5% of the commission revenue were not tax deductible. Therefore, as of June 30 2012, Henan Anhou and Sichuan Kangzhuang accrued income tax payable of $400,229 for deductible commissions incurred before June 30, 2012.
According to China State Administration of Taxation #15 Announcement in 2012, effective from 2011, such commissions can be fully deducted. Also, such tax payable over three years can be revised. Therefore, during the three months ended December 31, 2012, we reversed the tax payable of $21,475 accrued in 2011 for such deductible commissions and credited as income tax benefit.
The Company’s subsidiaries in Taiwan are governed by the Income Tax Law of Taiwan, and are generally subject to tax at 17% of income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate adjustments.
The balance of income tax payable as of December 31, 2012 mainly is the income tax accrued for the un-deductible commission paid to sub-agents before 2011 and is due upon written request of the local tax bureau.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2011
Revenues
Revenues increased by 843% from $ 1,696,897 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 to $ 16,006,079 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in commissions and fees was mainly attributable to the increase in the number of sales agents in our distribution network. As of December 31, 2012 we had 1,255 compared to 916 agents as of December 31, 2011. The average revenue per sales agent has also increased as the sales agents gained additional client relationships, experience and training.

Cost of revenues and gross profit
The cost of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2012 increased to $10,097,295, or by 753%, compared with $1,184,021 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Over 90% of the cost of revenues is commissions paid to our sales agents. Therefore the cost of services increased as the sales increased.
The gross profit increased to $5,908,784, or by 1,052% for the same periods. The gross profit ratio remained stable at around 37% because the ratio of commissions paid to agents remained unchanged at 70% of the commissions received from the insurance companies during these periods.
General and administrative expenses
The G&A expenses principally comprise of salaries and benefits for our administrative staff, office rental expenses, travel expenses, depreciation and amortization, entertainment expenses, and office supply expenses for our administrative staff.
For the six months ended December 31, 2012, G&A expenses were $4,526,525, an increase of $3,890,931 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase is due to the overall growth of our business and our plans of preparing to become an exchange traded company, including costs to enhance our internal controls and acquisition of AHFL.
Other income
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 mainly was the bargain gain on acquiring AHFL and rental income. We believe the gain on acquisition resulted from the sellers' strategic intent to enter the PRC market, which has a higher growth rate than Taiwan, and to become shareholders of an OTCBB traded company.
Income tax
CU WFOE, the Company’s subsidiary, and the VIEs in the PRC, are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriated adjustments.

The balance of income tax payable as of December 31, 2012 mainly is the income tax accrued for the un-deductible commission paid to sub-agents before 2011 and is due upon written request of the local tax bureau.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to June 30, 2012, the Company’s gross margin couldn’t cover its operating expenses and recorded accumulated deficit of $1,918,972. As a result, the Company needed to partially finance its operations through capital contribution and borrowings from related parties.
As a result of the acquisition of AHFL, our cash and equivalents increased by $9,433,556. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and equivalents of $10,687,765.
The net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $(222,457) and $(97,881), respectively. The increase was due to our expansion to Taiwan.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $9,285,476 during the six months ended December 31, 2012. This was the combined effect of cash acquired in acquisition of AHFL and purchase of marketable securities. The net cash used in investing activities was $(15,888) for the six months ended December 31, 2011.
30 |
For the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $325,427 and $152,888, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the need for additional operating capital to support our business in Henan.

· | providing insurance agency services to its existing clients in its existing branches; |
· | developing new clients; |
