NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
12-STATUTORY COMMON WELFARE FUND
As
stipulated by the Company Law of China, net income after taxation can only be
distributed as dividends after provision has been made for the
following:
(1)
|
Making
up cumulative prior years’ losses, if
any;
|
(2)
|
Allocations
to the “statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as
determined under China’s accounting rules and regulations, until the fund
amounts to 50% of the Company’s registered
capital;
|
(3)
|
Allocation
of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under China’s accounting rules
and regulations, to the Company’s “statutory common
welfare fund,” which is established for the purpose of
providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to
the Company’s employees; and
|
(4)
|
Allocations
to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders’
general meeting.
|
The
Company incurred a loss in the period ended June 30, 2008. Therefore, Company
was not required to allocate the “statutory surplus reserve” in this six months
period. As of June 30, 2008, this fund has accumulated amount to
$592,231.
NOTE
13- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic
earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic
earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the
number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the
potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive. There are no common stock equivalents available in the computation of
earnings (loss) per share at June 30, 2008.
14 NOTE- 14 CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE
TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
The
Company's operations are carried out in China. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the
political, economic and legal environments in the People Republic of China
(PRC), and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The
Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and
significant risks not typically associated with companies in the North America
and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the
political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The
Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies
with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other
things.
Concentration
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2008,
substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major
banks located in the PRC, which the Company’s management believes are of high
credit quality. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company extends credit
based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and customer
payment practices to minimize collection risk on the account
receivable.
There was
no single vendor who accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s total raw
material purchases during the six months period ended June 30,
2008.
The
Company had no major customer who accounted for 10% or more of the total sales
for the six months period ended June 30, 2008.
The
Company’s sales are heavily dependent on exports sales to USA and Asia for the
six months period ended June 30, 2008.
NOTE-15
CONTINGENCIES
As of
June 30, 2008, Ninbo Binbin Stationery Co., Ltd (“Binbin”) is contingently
liable as a guarantor with respect to approximately $4,898,880 of indebtedness
of non-related entities. The term of the guarantees is through April 9, 2010. At
any time through that day, should any one of the entities default on their debt
payments, Binbin will be obligated to perform under that guarantee by making the
required payments. The maximum potential amount of future payments that Binbin
is required to make under the guarantee is $4,898,880.

Proviso Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” includes certain forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements represent management’s present
expectations regarding the future. There are many risks and
uncertainties that, if realized, could cause management’s expectations to be an
inaccurate prediction of the future. Some of those risks are described below
under the heading “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results.”
The
forward–looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date hereof.
The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release
publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained
herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto
or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement
is based.
Overview
Prior to
acquiring a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board in June of 2006, the Company’s
Chinese subsidiary, Ningbo Binbin Stationery Co., Ltd. (“Binbin”) had
established itself through a period of 15 years as one of the top stationery
manufacturers in China. It was recognized by Forbes China in 2004 and 2005 as
one of the “Top 100 Growth Potential Small and Medium sized private
enterprises.”
The
Company’s product line consists of four categories, which include traditional
office stationery and supplies, electric office supplies, office peripheral
devices and furniture, and teaching aids. Traditional office supplies include
manual staplers, staple removers, pencil sharpeners, hole punchers, rubber
stamps, correctional tape, pens, and paper stationery sets. Electric office
supplies include electric staples, electric hole punchers, electric paper
shredders, electric pencil sharpeners, and vacuum cleaners. Office peripherals
include desktop organizers, drawer organizers, bookends, desktop computer
accessories, and partition accessories. Teaching aids include protractors,
triangles of assorted degrees including 45-degree, 60-degree, and 90-degree,
compass sets and additional drafting supplies.
In the
late 1990s, the Company began to focus its business model on export sales. It
offered the maximum number of products at highly competitive prices. The effort
was successful as it established market presence in over 30 countries in five
continents. In 2001, the Company became the first private company in Ningbo and
among the first in China to obtain approval from the Ministry of Foreign Trade
and Economic Cooperation to establish its own import/export company. Its notable
foreign customers include Tesco Stores Ltd. (UK), Elmer’s Products, Inc. (US),
Daiso Japan, and Romeo Maestri Figli S.p.A. (Italy). Today export sales account
for nearly 90% of total sales.
Results
of Operations
In recent
years, because of relaxed regulation as well as international reaction to the
dynamic growth of the Chinese economy, the exchange rates related to the Chinese
Renminbi have become much more volatile than was the case at the start of this
decade. For a company such as Binbin, whose business primarily
consists of exporting high volume, low margin items, the volatility of exchange
rates presents a significant obstacle to sound business planning. In
the first instance, because we incur our cost of goods sold in Renminbi, but
price our exports in Dollars, an increase in the exchange rate between the
Renminbi and the Dollar can have the effect of eliminating our already modest
profit margin on a sale. But if we adjust the sales price of our
products to offset our increased manufacturing cost, the effect is to reduce
demand for our products.
This
double impact of the falling value of the Dollar is the primary explanation for
our poor results in the first six months of 2008. The reduced
competitive position of our products caused us to realize only $8,698,939 in net
sales revenue, a 55% reduction from the first six months of 2007. The
second quarter, similarly, saw a 28% reduction in sales compared to the second
quarter of 2007. And even on those reduced sales, we realized only
$515,716 in gross profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and
$354,624 for the quarter (compared to $2,019,588 for the first six months and
$696,103 for the second quarter of 2007). That level of gross profit
was far less than we required in order to cover our operating
expenses.
While the
negative turn in the Renminbi-to-Dollar exchange rate was the primary factor
causing our negative operating results, an additional reason for the
quarter-to-quarter decline was the fact that in 2006 UNICEF did not place its
annual order until near to the end of the year. We were able to ship
only $2.55 million of this $9 million order in 2006, and shipped the remaining
$6.45 million in the first quarter of 2007. In comparison, we made no
shipments to UNICEF in the first six months of 2008. We believe that
sales to UNICEF will continue to represent a large portion of our revenue in the
next few years. But we cannot predict when UNICEF will place its orders, and so
cannot determine the extent to which our revenues and earnings will develop a
pattern of seasonality as a result of the UNICEF orders.
As noted,
our gross margin on the sales fell from 10.4% in the first six months of 2007 to
5.9% in the first six months of 2008. In addition to the effect of
the falling value of the Dollar, the decrease in gross margin reflected the fact
that the prices of several of our key raw materials have been
increasing. In particular, the world markets for non-ferrous metals,
such as zinc, copper and nickel, have become substantially
inflated. This has increased the manufacturing cost of many of our
products.
We do not
expect either of these two situations – the falling value of the Dollar or the
increase in commodities prices - to be reversed in the near
future. In addition, as of July 1, 2007 the Government of China
reduced the rebate that it will pay on certain exported goods from 13% to 8%,
with some rebates falling as low as 5%. This change put further
downward pressure on our margins. Therefore we do not expect to
reverse the decline in our profit margins until our long-term program of
replacing low margin goods with higher margin products is fully
implemented.
The
dramatic decline in our sales revenue did have the effect of reducing our
selling, general and administrative expenses for the six month period by 42%,
from $1,530,447 in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $886,090 in the six
months ended June 30, 2008. Similarly, selling, general and
administrative expense in the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 30% lower
than in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The primary reason for
the reduction is the fact that the ratio of our sales expenses to our net sales
remained relatively static reflecting our efforts to increase the efficiency of
our marketing operations. As revenues fell, therefore, our selling,
general and administrative expenses also fell. Offsetting the
reduction in selling expenses, however, were two factors producing increases in
general and administrative expense:
·
|
an
increase in salaries to our staff necessitated by the overall rise in
wages in China in recent years; and
|
·
|
an
increase in depreciation, due to the expansion of our manufacturing
facilities since last year.
|
The $4.7
million increase in our bank loans during the past six months has increased our
interest expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30,
2008 totaled $584,420, compared to $383,684 in the first six months of
2007. We expect that our borrowing and the related interest expense
will remain high until our revenues return to prior levels and provide us
positive cash flow from operations.
For all
of these reasons, we incurred a net loss of $761,462 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. In the first six months of 2007 we realized net income
of $117,047. For the same reasons, our net loss of $217,372 for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 exceeded our net loss of $21,417 in the second
quarter of 2007.
Our
business operates in Chinese Renminbi, but we report our results in our SEC
filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to
Dollars results in translation adjustments, which are reported as a middle step
between net income and comprehensive income. The net income is added
to the retained earnings on our balance sheet; while the translation adjustment
is added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled “accumulated other
comprehensive income,” since it is more reflective of changes in the relative
values of U.S. and Chinese currencies than of the success of our
business. During the first six months of 2008 the unrealized gain on
foreign currency translations added $170,878 to our accumulated other
comprehensive income.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On June
30, 2008 we had a working capital deficit of $6,090,741, having added $1,305,007
to our deficit since December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the
magnitude of our deficit is the customary Chinese banking practice of funding
business clients through short-term debt. Because of that policy, our
entire bank debt ($16.8 million at June 30, 2008) is categorized as a short-term
liability. Our expectation is that we will be permitted by the bank
to roll over as much of the debt as we require. (Indeed the banks
permitted us to increase our bank debt by $5.4 million during the first quarter
of 2008, despite our poor financial results, an indication of the strong
long-term relationship that we have with our banks.) So this
arrangement provides us with considerable flexibility in molding our debt
structure to our immediate need.
Our
liquidity is affected by certain financing arrangements that we have made,
involving certain suppliers of our raw materials and other companies with which
we have mutual assistance relationships. These relationships manifest
themselves in two ways, both of which are common practice in the Chinese
business environment. First, we have on our balance sheet “advances
to supplieres" totalling $4,534,911, representing funds that we deposit with our
suppliers in order to assure ourselves of on-time supplies of raw
materials.
The
second financing arrangement related to our business operations involves a
series of guarantees, some mutual, some in exchange for business
advantages. At June 30, 2008 Binbin was the guarantor of a total of
33.6 million RMB in debt (approximately $4,898.880). 11,600,000 RMB
of the debt that we were guaranteeing was owed to banks by four of our
suppliers. We made these guarantees for the same reason as supported
our loans to suppliers. 22,000,000 RMB of the debt was guaranteed for
the benefit of two Chinese businesses that are similarly guaranteeing Binbin’s
bank debt. The debts we are guaranteeing are one-year loans without
amortization, and our guarantees apply to principal payments
only. China’s banks encourage this kind of cross-guarantee
arrangement as a means of expanding the lending base of its
customers. The situation does, however, increase the risk to our
assets, as we face the possibility of being called upon to satisfy the debts we
have guaranteed. We believe, however, that the debts we have
guaranteed are likely to be paid, and that the arrangements provide us more
benefit than risk.
We
believe that our banking relationships provide us adequate liquidity to fund our
ongoing operations and modest growth. Nevertheless we are currently
exploring opportunities for increased funding in order to implement certain
special projects that we hope will enhance our product offerings and the
efficiency of our operations. We have not, however, entered into any
new financing commitments.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Risk
Factors That May Affect Future Results
You should carefully consider the risks
described below before buying our common stock. If any of the risks
described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of our
common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your
investment.

I. Risks attendant to our
business
Increased
interest rates in China would have a negative effect on our
operations.
Binbin is
highly leveraged. Our current liabilities substantially exceed our
current assets, and consist primarily of short-term debt to Chinese
banks. Currently we pay interest on our bank debt at rates that are
relatively low by Chinese standards (7.47% to 8.217%). The government
of China, however, is considering implementing policies aimed at controlling the
growth of the Chinese economy. These policies would result in
significantly higher interest rates. If that were to occur, or if
other factors caused an increase in interest rate, our expenses would increase
significantly, which could eliminate our profitability.
If the Renminbi is allowed to float
freely against the U.S. Dollar, our profits will be reduced.
Nearly
90% of our sales are made outside of China. Our export sales are
priced in Dollars. If the value of the Dollar relative to the
Renminbi is reduced, our revenue will be proportionately reduced, as overseas
customers will find our products to be more expensive than those provided by
their local office supply providers.
Our
business and growth will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key
personnel that are in high demand.
Our
future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled
engineers, draftsmen, and technicians, as well as sales personnel experienced in
international sales. Qualified individuals are in high demand in
China, and there are insufficient experienced personnel to fill the
demand. Therefore we may not be able to successfully attract or
retain the personnel we need to succeed.
We
may have difficulty establishing adequate management and financial controls in
China.
The
People’s Republic of China has only recently begun to adopt the management and
financial reporting concepts and practices that investors in the United States
are familiar with. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining
employees in China who have the experience necessary to implement the kind of
management and financial controls that are expected of a United States public
company. If we cannot establish such controls, we may experience
difficulty in collecting financial data and preparing financial statements,
books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that
meet U.S. standards.
Our operations are international, and
we are subject to significant political, economic, legal and other uncertainties
(including, but not limited to, trade barriers and taxes that may have an
adverse effect on our business and operations.
We manufacture all of our products in
China and substantially all of the net book value of our total fixed assets is
located there. However, we sell our products primarily to customers outside of
China. As a result, we may experience barriers to conducting business and trade
in our targeted markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs
duties and tariffs. In addition, we may be subject to repatriation taxes levied
upon the exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, as well
as substantial taxes of profits, revenues, assets or payroll, as well as
value-added tax. The markets in which we plan to operate may impose onerous and
unpredictable duties, tariffs and taxes on our business and
products. Any of these barriers and taxes could have an adverse
effect on our finances and operations.
We
rely principally on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our
operating subsidiary to fund our cash and financing requirements, but such
dividends and other distributions are subject to restrictions under
PRC law. Limitations on the ability of our operating subsidiary to pay
dividends or other distributions to us could have a material adverse effect on
our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions, pay dividends to you, and
otherwise fund and conduct our business.
We are a
holding company and conduct substantially all of our business through our
operating subsidiary, Binbin, which is a limited liability company established
in China. We rely on dividends paid by Binbin for our cash needs, including the
funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our
shareholders, to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating
expenses. The payment of dividends by entities organized in China is subject to
regulations permitting Binbin to pay dividends to us only out of accumulated
profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and
regulations. Binbin is also required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax
profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until
the cumulative amount of such reserves reaches 50% of its registered capital.
These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. In addition, Binbin is
required to allocate a portion of its after-tax profit to its enterprise
expansion fund and the staff welfare and bonus fund at the discretion of its
board of directors. Moreover, if Binbin incurs debt on its own behalf in the
future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay
dividends or make other distributions to us. Any limitations on the ability of
Binbin Q to pay dividends or other distributions to us could have a material
adverse effect on our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions, pay
dividends to you, and otherwise fund or conduct our business.
Capital outflow policies in China
may hamper our ability to pay dividends to shareholders in the United
States.
The
People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer
regulations. These regulations require that we comply with complex regulations
for the movement of capital. Although Chinese governmental policies were
introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB into foreign currency for
current account items, conversion of RMB into foreign exchange for capital
items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the
approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. We may be unable to
obtain all of the required conversion approvals for our operations, and Chinese
regulatory authorities may impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of
the RMB in the future. Because most of our future revenues will be in RMB, any
inability to obtain the requisite approvals or any future restrictions on
currency exchanges will limit our ability to fund our business activities
outside China or to pay dividends to our shareholders.
Our bank deposits are not
insured.
There is no insurance program in the
PRC that protects bank deposits, in the way that bank deposits in the U.S. are
given limited protection by the FDIC. If the bank in which we
maintain our cash assets were to fail, it is likely that we would lose most or
all of our deposits.
We have limited business insurance
coverage.
The insurance industry in China is
still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer
limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer
business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability
insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption
insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost
of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business
disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and
diversion of resources.

II. Risks attendant to our
management
Our
business development would be hindered if we lost the services of our
Chairman.
Wei
Chenghui is the Chief Executive Officer of China Stationery and Office Supply,
Inc. and of its operating subsidiary, Ningbo Binbin Stationery Co.,
Ltd. Mr. Wei is responsible for strategizing not only our business
plan but also the means of financing it. If Mr. Wei were to leave
Binbin or become unable to fulfill his responsibilities, our business would be
imperiled. At the very least, there would be a delay in the
development of Binbin until a suitable replacement for Mr. Wei could be
retained.
We
are not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few
years.
Management
does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years,
due to the expense involved. The current members of the Board of
Directors were appointed to that position by the previous
directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future,
it is likely that the current directors will appoint them. As a
result, the shareholders of the Company will have no effective means of
exercising control over the operations of the Company.
Your ability to bring an action
against us or against our directors, or to enforce a judgment against us or
them, will be limited because we conduct all of our operations in China and
because all of our management resides outside of the United
States.
We conduct all of our operations in
China through our wholly-owned subsidiary. All of our directors and officers
reside in China and all of the assets of those Chinese residents are located
outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for
you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United
States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under
the securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an
action of this kind, the laws of the United States and of China may render you
unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our
directors.
