NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION
Nanning Tongji Hospital, Inc. ("NTH") was established in Nanning in the province of Guangxi of the People’s Republic of China ("PRC") by the Nanning Tongji Medical Co. Ltd. and an individual on October 30, 2003.
NTH is a designated hospital for medical insurance in the city of Nanning and Guangxi province. NTH specializes in the areas of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, ophthalmology, medical cosmetology, rehabilitation, dermatology, otolaryngology, traditional Chinese medicine, medical imaging, anesthesia, acupuncture, physical therapy, health examination, and prevention.
On December 19, 2006, NTH filed Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to establish Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc. (the "Company"). On the same day, Tongji, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated in the State of Colorado. Tongji Inc. was dissolved on March 25, 2011.
On December 27, 2006, Tongji Inc. acquired 100% of the equity in NTH pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which NTH became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tongji. The Company was authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company issued 15,652,557 shares of common stock to the stockholders of NTH in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NTH. Thereafter and for purposes of these consolidated financial statements the "Company" and "NTH" are used to refer to the operations of Nanning Tongji Hospital Co. Ltd. The acquisition of NTH was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the stockholders of NTH obtained control of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the reorganization of the two companies was recorded as a recapitalization of NTH, with NTH being treated as the continuing operating entity.
According to the PRC Regulation of Healthcare Institutions, hospitals are subject to registration with the health department of the local government to obtain business license for hospital services. We received our renewed business license from Nanning municipal government in November 2007, and this license is valid until November, 2020. Other existing regulations having material effects on our business include regulations dealing with physician's licensing, usage of medicine and injection, and public security in health and medical advertising.
NTH must register with and maintain an operating license from the local health department, due to the fact that NTH currently maintains a facility with over 100 beds. NTH is subject to review by the local health department at least once every three years. If NTH fails to meet their standards, NTH’s business license may be revoked. NTH is also obligated to provide free services or dispatch our physicians or other employees in the event of a need for public assistance. NTH dedicates a very small percentage of its resources to providing free public services.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012 (“Form 10-K”), filed with the Commission on April 1, 2013.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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 generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the Form 10-K.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial statements include Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Our policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which a greater than 50% voting interest is owned. The Company operates in one segment in accordance with the accounting guidance FASB ASC topic 280, “Segment Reporting”.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the 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. A substantial amount of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or China) and is not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance or any other similar insurance. Cash held in China amounted to $8,533 as of September 30, 2013. Given the current economic environment and the financial condition of the banking industry, there is a risk that the deposits may not be readily available or covered by such insurance. The Company has had no loss of cash in domestic or foreign banks in past years.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, useful lives and residual values of equipment, valuation of medical supplies, accounts receivable, intangible assets, construction in progress, stock based compensation, and allowance for bad debt. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT
The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB). The reporting currency is that of the US Dollar. Capital accounts of the condensed consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign currency exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollar at the rates used in translation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items previously reported under specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (ASC 605). Service revenue is recognized on the dates services were rendered. When a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable. When the service is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
The Company generates revenue from individual patients as well as third-party payers, including PRC government programs and insurance providers, under which the hospital is paid based upon government established charges. Revenues for pharmaceutical drug sales are recognized upon the drug being administered to a patient.
Patient revenues are recorded based on pre-established rates set by the local government. The Company bills for services provided to Medicare patients through a medical card (the US equivalent of an insurance card). There have not been significant differences between the amounts the Company has billed the government Medicare funds and the amounts collected from the Medicare funds.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are recorded at the estimated net realizable amounts from government fund, insurance companies and patients. Collections have not been considered an area that exposes the Company to additional risk. Hospital staff verifies patient coverage prior to examinations and/or procedures.
For any Medicare patient who visits the hospital and is qualified for acceptance, the hospital will only include the portion that the social insurance organization will pay in the accounts receivable and collects the self-pay portion in cash at the time of service. Management continues to estimate the likelihood of bad debt on an ongoing basis.
The Company has estimated a bad debt allowance of approximately $43,000 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 825, which 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, capital lease payable and other payables approximated the 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
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, 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 investments, and long-term debt. 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 risk, etc.).
|
|
●
|
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
|
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or non-recurring 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 liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis.
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.

CONCENTRATIONS, RISKS, AND UNCERTAINTIES
All of the Company’s operations are located in the PRC. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully continue to operate and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, 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, the price of medicine, competition, governmental and political conditions, and changes in regulations. Because the Company is dependent on the domestic market of 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 the transfer of funds, domestic policy changes, changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions, and political and governmental regulations.
CONTINGENCIES
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. These conditions may result in a future loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel 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 that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued. If the assessment indicates that 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. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES
Medical supplies include both western and traditional Chinese medicine, are valued on the lower of weighted average cost or market basis. Inventory includes product cost and inbound freight. Management compares the cost of medical supplies with the market value and allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if such value is lower.
EQUIPMENT
Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related asset type using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and the costs of additions and betterments that increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. When equipment is disposed, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in other income or expenses.
CONSTRUCTION-IN-PROGRESS
A hospital facility currently under development is accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including land rights cost, development expenditure, and professional fees capitalized during the course of construction for the purpose of financing the project. Upon completion of the project, the cost of construction-in-progress will be transferred to fixed assets, at which time depreciation will commence.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST
Interest cost is capitalized for qualifying assets when the portion of the interest cost incurred during the assets' acquisition periods could have been avoided if expenditures for the assets had not been made. The amount capitalized in an accounting period is determined by applying the capitalization rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The capitalization rates used in an accounting period is based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period (also see Note 4).
Capitalization period covers the duration of the activities required to get the asset ready for its intended use, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost is being incurred. Interest capitalization continues as long as those activities and the incurrence of interest cost continue.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of 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. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. There was no impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants 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. Potentially dilutive securities to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock were not included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the period ended September 30, 2013. During the Nine Months period ended September 30, 2013, the average market price of the common stock during the year was less than the exercise price of the stock options and the Company was in a loss position. Accordingly, the stock options were anti-dilutive and have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

INCOME TAXES
FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes” 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.
In accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB ASC Topic 740” , which requires income tax positions to meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities or deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The Company has made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by ASC 740-10 and has not recognized any material uncertain tax positions.
In addition, companies in the PRC are required to pay business taxes consisting of 5% of income they derive from providing medical treatment, as well as city construction taxes and educational taxes which are 7% and 3%, respectively, of the business taxes. In April 2010, the Company was granted an exemption from these taxes until further notice from the tax bureau.
The Company had accrued approximately $40,000 for failure to file US tax returns and Form 5472 between the years 2006 to 2009. The Company is current with its required filings. In addition, the Company does not accrue United States income taxes on unremitted earnings from foreign operations, as it is the Company’s intention to invest these earnings in the foreign operations indefinitely.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT COSTS
The Company contributes to a defined contribution retirement plan organized by the municipal government in the province in which the Company’s subsidiary is registered. The Company makes contributes for qualified employees that are eligible to participate in the plan. Contributions to the plan are calculated at 30% of the employees’ salaries above a fixed threshold amount; employees contribute 8% and the Company’s subsidiary contributes the balance of 22%. The Chinese government is responsible for the benefit liability to retired employees. The Company has no other material obligation for the payment of retirement beyond the annual contribution.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock compensation expense under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity” and FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” we perform an analysis of current market data and historical Company data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, we use these estimates as variables in the Black Scholes model. Depending upon the number of stock options granted, any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our consolidated statement of operations. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our financial statements.
Stock-based compensation costs that have been included in operating expenses amounted to $3,839 and $3,852, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
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 loss 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 (loss) equals net income (loss) plus or minus adjustments for currency translation. Total comprehensive loss represents the activity for a period net of related tax and was a loss of $92,559 and $981,305 for the three months periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total comprehensive loss represents the activity for a period net of related tax and was a loss of $249,949 and 1,112,393 for the nine months periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 overall equity by $89,111 and $126,477 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the AICPA and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has negative working capital of $14,472,885, an accumulated deficit of $1,997,919, and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,454,780 as of September 30, 2013. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on the management’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, and achieve profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: 1) plan to convert existed related parties’ loans into equity, 2) to complete construction of the new hospital and begin generating revenue by the end of the next year, 3) plan to increase sales revenue with additional medical equipments. No assurances can be given that the steps taken will provide necessary capital for the Company to continue its operations.

The Company purchased and started depreciating certain medical equipments at the beginning of 2012. Those equipments are to be placed in service upon receiving usage approval from the Chinese government and hiring qualified personnel.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related condensed notes included elsewhere in this report. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on December 19, 2006. On December 27, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tongji, Inc., a Colorado company, acquired 100% of the equity in Nanning Tongji Hospital, Inc. ("NTH" or “Tongji Hospital”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger. Unless otherwise provided, all references to “the Company”, “us”, “we” refer to Tongji Healthcare Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Tongji, Inc. and NTH. We issued 15,652,557 shares of common stock to the shareholders of NTH in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NTH. Accordingly, NTH became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tongji, Inc. We have been in the business of operating hospitals and providing healthcare services in Nanning, Guangxi province of the PRC.
The acquisition of NTH was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders of NTH obtained control of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the reorganization of the two companies was recorded as a recapitalization of NTH. We treated NTH as the continuing operating entity.
NTH was established in Nanning city, Guangxi province of the Peoples’ Republic of China ("PRC") by Guangxi Tongji Medical Co. Ltd. and an individual on October 30, 2003.
NTH is a designated hospital for medical insurance in both Nanning city and Guangxi province. NTH specializes in the areas of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, ophthalmology, medical cosmetology, rehabilitation, dermatology, otolaryngology, traditional Chinese medicine, medical imaging, anesthesia, acupuncture, physical therapy, health examination, and prevention.
According to the PRC Regulation of Healthcare Institutions, hospitals are required to register with the health department of the local government to obtain business license for hospital services. We received our renewed business license from Nanning municipal government in November 2007, and this license is valid until November, 2020. Other existing regulations having material effects on our business include regulations dealing with physician's licensing, usage of medicine and injection, and public security in health and medical advertising.
We must register with and maintain an operating license from the local health department due to the fact that we currently maintain a facility with over 100 beds. We are subject to review by the local health department at least once every three years. If we fail to meet their standards, our business license may be revoked. We are also obligated to provide free services or dispatch our physicians or other employees in the event of a need for public assistance. We dedicate a very small percentage of our resources to providing public services.
We have two sources of operating revenues: in-patient service revenues and out-patient service revenues. In addition to providing services to our patients, we also sell pharmaceutical drugs to our patients. Revenues from such sales are included in either our in-patient service revenues or our out-patient service revenues. Our revenues come from individuals as well as third-party payers, including PRC government programs and insurance providers, under which the hospital is paid based upon the rates established by the local government. Revenues are recorded at estimated net amounts due from patients or third-party payers. Revenues from pharmaceutical drug sales are recognized upon the drug being administered to a patient or at the time a prescription by a registered physician is filled.
21
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. - continued
Patient revenues are recorded based on pre-established rates set by the local government. The Company bills for services provided to Medicare patients through a medical card (the US equivalent of an insurance card). Historically, there have been no significant differences between the amounts the Company billed the government Medicare funds and the amounts collected from the Medicare funds.
We had two major suppliers for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012: Guangxi East Dragon Century Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Guangxi Tongji Medicine Co. Ltd., a related party with common majority stockholders. Medicine purchased from Guangxi East Dragon Century Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. accounted for 20% and 14% of all medicine purchases for nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Medicine purchased from Guangxi Tongji Medicine Co. Ltd. accounted for 45% and 47% of all medicine purchases for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
We had one major customer Nanning Social Insurance Center accounted for 10% of revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, and two major customers, Nanning Social Insurance Center and Guangxi Province Social Insurance Center, accounted for 14% and 6% of revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012..
Difference in the Medical System between the U.S. and China
In the United States, most hospitals have contracts with health insurance companies that provide reduced rates for healthcare services for patients with health insurance. Medicare and Medicaid patients also receive reduced rates. Functionally, the patient is billed for health services at the higher rate normally charged to patients without insurance. The amount billed is then reduced by the charges paid by the insurance carrier and by the difference (sometimes known as the "contractual allowance") between the normal rate for the services and the reduced rate that the hospital estimates it will receive from Medicare, Medicaid and insurance companies.
For financial reporting purposes, hospitals in the United States record revenues based upon established billing rates less adjustment for contractual allowances. Revenues are recorded based upon the amounts due from the patients and third-party payers; including federal and state (under the Medicare and Medicaid programs) managed care health plans, health insurance companies, and employers. Estimates of contractual allowances under third-party payer arrangements are based upon the payment terms specified in the related contractual agreements. Third-party payer contractual payment terms are generally based upon predetermined rates per diagnosis, per diem rates, or discounted fee-for-service rates.
Due to the complexities involved in determining amounts ultimately due under reimbursement arrangements with a large number of third-party payers, which are often subject to interpretation, the reimbursement actually received by U.S. hospitals for health care services is sometimes different from their estimates.
The medical system in the PRC is different from that in the United States. Private medical insurance is not generally available to the PRC’s population and as a result services and medications provided by our hospital are usually paid by cash or by the Medicare agencies of the Nanning municipal government and the Guangxi provincial government. Our billing system automatically calculates the reimbursements that we are entitled to based upon regulations promulgated by theses government agencies. We bill the Medicare agencies directly for services provided to patients covered by these Medicare programs. In addition, due to the fact that rates are established by the government, there is no difference between rates for patients covered by Medicare and patients who pay cash.
22
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. - continued
Since we only deal with the Nanning municipal and the Guangxi provincial Medicare agencies, we are familiar with their regulations pertaining to reimbursements. As a result, there is normally no material difference between the amounts we bill and the amounts we receive for services provided to Medicare patients.
Results of Operation - Three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
Material changes of items in our Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, are discussed below.
Operating Revenue – Operating revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, which resulted primarily from in-patient service revenue and out-patient revenue, was $607,238, a decrease of $92,972 or 13%, as compared with the operating revenue of $700,210 for the same period of 2012. Our out-patient service revenue was $338,177 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $276,219 for the same period in 2012, an increase of $61,958 or 22%. The increase in out-patient service revenue was primary due to the increase in out-patient headcount. Our in-patient service revenue was $269,061 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $423,991, a decrease of $154,930 or 37% as compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in the in-patient service revenue was primarily due to a change in the Municipal Health Insurance regulations. Starting at the end of 2012, Municipal Health Insurance requires that the hospitals stop waiving co-insurance payments from patients. This has discouraged patients from using our in-patient services and greatly impacted the admission headcount in the in-patient service sector.
Operating Expenses – Operating expenses were $683,146 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $955,105 or 58% as compared to $1,638,251 for the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of approximately of $1,100,000 in contingency loss, offset by an increase of approximately $29,000 in administrative expenses, and $111,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from depreciation expense reversal on certain medical equipments during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 (see note 3).
Loss from Operations - Operating loss was $75,908 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $862,133 or 92% as compared to an operating loss of $938,041 for the same period of 2012. The primary reasons for the increase are the aforementioned changes in operating revenue and operating expenses.
Interest Expense – Interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was $13,045 as compared to $51,027 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $37,982 or 74%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in capital lease obligations.
Net Loss - As a result of the forgoing, the Company had a net loss of $84,620 during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $983,040 for the comparative period in 2012, a decrease of $898,420 or 91%.
Results of Operation - Nine Months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
Material changes of items in our Statement of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the Nine Months ended September 30, 2012, are discussed below.
Operating Revenue – Operating revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, which resulted primarily from in-patient service revenue and out-patient revenue, was $1,720,801, a decrease of $359,156 or 17%, as compared with the operating revenue of $2,079,957 for the same period of 2012. Our out-patient service revenue was $913,813 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $890,404 for the same period in 2012, an increase of $23,409. The out-patient service revenue remained fairly flat with a slight increase of 3%. Our in-patient service revenue was $806,988 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $1,189,553, a decrease of $382,565 or 32% as compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in the in-patient service revenue was primarily due to a change in the Municipal Health Insurance regulations. Starting at the end of 2012, Municipal Health Insurance requires that the hospitals stop waiving co-insurance payments from patients. This has discouraged patients from using our in-patient services and greatly impacted the admission headcount in the in-patient service sector.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. - continued
Operating Expenses – Operating expenses were $1,864,059 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1,228,245 or 40% as compared to $3,092,304 for the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of approximately of $1,040,000 in contingency loss, a decrease of $63,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, and a decrease of $235,000 in medicine and supplies purchases resulting from the decrease of in-patient services revenue, offset by an increase of approximately $93,000 and $15,000 in other operating expenses and administrative expenses.
Loss from Operations - Operating loss was $143,258 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $869,089 as compared to an operating loss of $1,012,347 for the same period of 2012. The primary reasons for the increase are the aforementioned changes in operating revenue and operating expenses.
Interest Expense – Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was $88,272 as compared to $126,659 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $38,387 or 30%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in capital lease obligations..
Net Loss - As a result of the forgoing, the Company had a net loss of $212,583 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $1,111,662 for the comparative period in 2012, a decrease of $899,079 or 81%.
Trends, Events and Uncertainties
The China Ministry of Health, as well as other related agencies, has proposed changes to the price limit we can charge for medical services, drugs and medications. We cannot predict the impact of these proposed changes since the changes are not fully defined and we do not know whether those proposed changes will be implemented or when they may take effect.
We are in the process of building a new 600-bed hospital building in Nanning city on leased land. We expect the new hospital building to be completed by the middle of 2014. The hospital building is being constructed by Guangxi Construction Engineering Corporation Langdong 8th Group (“Langdong 8th Group”). The lease payments for the land will start after the construction is completed. Annual lease payments for the land will increase every year. Our agreement with Langdong 8th Group obligates us to pay approximately $7,870,000 for construction related costs. In addition, we are responsible for any additional costs necessary to complete the project. As of September 30, 2013, we had paid approximately $12,700,000 for the construction of the hospital. We borrowed most of the funds from our related company Guangxi Tongji Medicine Co., Ltd. In addition to what we had paid for the hospital building construction, we estimate the additional costs to complete the project to be $31,000,000. We will continue to operate in our existing hospital buildings after the completion of the new hospital building.
We plan to acquire other hospitals and companies involved in the healthcare industry in the PRC using cash and shares of our common stock. Substantial capital may be needed for these acquisitions and we may need to raise additional funds through the sale of our common stock, debt financing or other arrangements. We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital. Additional capital may not be available to us, or if available, on acceptable terms, in which case we would not be able to acquire other hospitals or businesses in the healthcare industry.
Other than the factors listed above we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on our net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. Our business is not seasonal in nature.

We bill the Medicare agencies directly for services provided to patients covered by theses Medicare programs. In addition, due to the fact that rates are established by the government, there is no difference between rates for patients covered by Medicare and patients who only use cash.
Since we only deal with the Nanning municipal and the Guangxi provincial Medicare agencies we are familiar with their regulations pertaining to reimbursements. As a result, there is normally no material difference between the amounts we bill and the amounts we receive for services provided to Medicare patients.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generally finance our operations through our operating profits and borrowings from related parties. As of the date of this report, we have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds from related parties, and we have not experienced any liquidity problems in settling our payables in our ordinary course of business. We believe that we have adequate funds and capital with respect to conducting its business over the next twelve months.
The following shows our material sources and (uses) of cash during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. - continued
The Company carefully monitors and controls the amount of cash used to fund operating activities. However, substantial funds are required to fund the construction costs on the new hospital building and a lawsuit settlement (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements accompanying this Report). Financing of operations has come primarily from advances from related parties. We are dependent on related parties to provide working capital and pay our management team until such time as our operations are profitable. There can be no assurances that related parties will continue to provide additional capital. Without additional capital, we may be forced to cease operations and liquidate.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net loss, as adjusted by depreciation, stock option, and changes in operating assets and liabilities such as accounts receivable, medical supplies, capital lease deposits, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payables and accrued liabilities , and other payables.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $39,893 for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $145,620 or 78%, as compared with the net cash provided by operating activities of $185,513 for the same period in 2012. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $66,000 and a decrease in other payable of $300,000, offset by the increase of approximately $180,000 in accounts receivables for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities primarily consists of acquisition of equipment and purchases of construction in progress.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,263,557 for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $564,835 or 31%, as compared with the net cash used in investing activities of $1,828,392 for the same period in 2012. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $600,000 in construction in progress because the construction of the new hospital building is close to the final stage.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities primarily consists of proceeds from related party loans.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,149,232 for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $494,776 or 30%, as compared with the net cash provided by financing activities of $1,644,008 for the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to less funding needs because the construction of the new hospital building is close to the final stage.
Working Capital
Working capital is current liabilities deducted from current assets.
Our working capital was negative $14,472,885 for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2013, as compared with negative $12,447,442 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is primarily attributable to additional financial assistance of approximately $1,770,000 from related parties to fund the construction of the new hospital and the lawsuit settlement.

Rental Commitments
The Company has entered into a lease agreement for its hospital building with Guangxi Tongji Medicine Co. Ltd that expires in December 2014. The monthly lease payment is approximately $2,500. The Company is also in the process of cooperating with Langdong 8th Group in building a new 600-bed hospital building in Nanning, China. Management expects the new hospital building to be completed by the middle of 2014. The hospital building is being constructed by Langdong 8th Group and the land will be leased by the Company for a twenty-year term starting from the date the building is completed. The annual lease payments for the land will gradually increase each year. Based on the exchange rate at September 30, 2013, minimum future lease payments for the land are as follows:

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has negative working capital of $14,472,885, an accumulated deficit of $1,997,919, and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,454,780 as of September 30, 2013. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on the management’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, and achieve profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: 1) plan to convert existed related parties’ loans into equity, 2) to complete construction of the new hospital and begin generating revenue by the end of the next year, 3) plan to increase sales revenue with additional medical equipments. No assurances can be given that the steps taken will provide necessary capital for the Company to continue its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet items reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the material information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of September 30, 2013, our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2013 as a result of the material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses are discussed in “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” below. Our management considers our internal control over financial reporting to be an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. The Company’s management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the Company’s financial statements and that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
As of September 30, 2013, our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as required by Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(c) under the Exchange Act. In making this assessment, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework , including the following five framework components: i) control environment, ii) risk assessment, iii) control activities, iv) information and communications, and v) monitoring.
28
Item 4. Controls and Procedures. - continued
Our management evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as part of this assessment, using its knowledge and understanding of our organization, operations, and processes, to determine, in its judgment, the sources and potential likelihood of misstatements in financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2013.
Specifically, our management identified certain matters involving internal control and our operations that it considered to be material weaknesses. As defined in the Exchange Act, a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified by our management as of September 30, 2013, are described below:
We did not design, implement, or maintain effective entity-level controls related to our control environment, resulting in the following significant control deficiencies:

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which was specifically designed for public company applicability, has yet to be formally acknowledged by members of management and the finance department.
|
|
o
|
There is an absence of independence and financial expertise on the Board of Directors, and we do not have an Audit Committee or a formalized internal audit function, limiting its ability to provide effective oversight of our management.
|
Our management believes that the pervasive nature of these control deficiencies, when aggregated, impact all significant accounts and disclosures and rise to the level of material weakness.
The full implementation of, and related training for, our newly-formalized IT policies and procedures were still in process at year-end. Accordingly, we lacked sufficiently-trained personnel to provide for adequate segregation of duties within the accounting system and effective oversight of controls over access, change, data, and security management. Because this control deficiency, and the related segregation of duties constraints, is pervasive in nature and impacts all significant accounts, our management believes this deficiency rises to the level of material weakness.
|
2013 Planned Remediation
As financial conditions permit, we plan to take the following actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting.
●
|
Require all members of our management and the finance department across all corporate entities to certify receipt of the revised Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by signature. Signed copies will be retained by our management. Thereafter, our management plans to periodically require signatories to acknowledge that they understand the contents of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and whether they are aware of anyone in our Company that might have violated some part of the Code.
|
|
●
|
Recruit an independent financial expert to the Board of Directors to chair an Audit Committee and formalize roles and responsibilities over our internal control over financial reporting for the Board and our management. Our management also plans to develop and implement a formal corporate internal audit capability, reporting directly to an independent Audit Committee, to provide effective oversight of our internal control over financial reporting.

Continue to engage the services of qualified consultants with China GAAP, U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience to support our financial reporting and SOX compliance requirements, including assistance with the following:
|
|
o
|
Remediating identified material weaknesses;
|
o

Complete the implementation of, and related training for, its IT policies and procedures related to access, change, data, and security management to ensure that all relevant financial information is secure, identified, captured, processed, and reported within the accounting system and spreadsheets supporting financial reporting.
|
||
●
|
Continue providing training to accounting personnel regarding our significant policies and procedures related to accounting, finance, and internal control to ensure that financial reporting competencies are strengthened.
|
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as well as its internal control over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis, and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. However, our management cannot guarantee that the measures taken or any future measures will remediate the material weaknesses identified or that any additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, our management believes that there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact and, to the best of its knowledge, believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting has come to management's attention during the Company's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Controls
Management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
