CHINA
STATIONERY AND OFFICE SUPPLY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2008
NOTE
1-ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
China
Stationery and Office Supply, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) was
incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 19, 2005. The
Company’s primary business, through its operating subsidiaries based in China,
is to develop, manufacture and market office supplies including stationery, hold
punchers, staplers, pens and pencils, rubber stamps, felt markers and numerous
other items, which are sold through a worldwide network of distributors in
China.
On
January 8, 2006 the Company acquired 90% of the stock of Ningbo Binbin
Stationery Co., Ltd. (“Binbin”). Binbin was organized on January 29, 1998 under
the laws of the People’s Republic of China. (“PRC”). On July 27, 2001, Binbin
and its majority shareholder formed Ningbo Binbin Style Commodity Co., Ltd
(“NBSC”) under the laws of the PRC. The primary business of NBSC is to
manufacture and sell special office supplies and promotion products in the PRC.
It is 90% owned by the Binbin. As a result of majority ownership by the Company,
the operating results of Binbin and NBSC are included in the consolidated
results of the Company.
On May
26, 2006, the Company completed a share exchange in which Dickie Walker Marine,
Inc acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The
transaction was treated as a reverse merger. Accordingly, China Stationery and
Office Supply, Inc. and Subsidiaries is treated as the continuing entity for
accounting purposes and the historical financial information prior to the merger
is that of China Stationery and Office Supply, Inc. and
Subsidiaries.
NOTE
2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the
recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of
inventories. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and cash equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions in the
PRC. The Company performs periodic evaluation of the relative credit standing of
financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment
strategy.
Bad
debt reserves
The
Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable.
Management reviews the composition of account receivable and analyzes historical
bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic
trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of
these reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification
basis.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at lower of cast, as determined on a weighted average basis, or
market.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including
replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical
properties are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes, whereas accelerated
methods are used for tax purposes.
Long-lived
assets
The
Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No, 144
“Accounting for he impairment of Disposal of Long-Live Assets”, which became
effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews long-term
assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company has not
incurred any losses in connection with the adoption of this
statement.
Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets consist of “Rights to use land and build a plant”. According to the law
of China, the government owns all the land in China. Companies or individuals
are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use
rights granted by
the Chinese government. Land use rights are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the lease term of 50 years. The method to amortize
intangible assets is a 50-year straight-line method. The Company also evaluates
intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of
intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by
comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows
form these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating
results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development
cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash
flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to
measure the amount of impairment loss.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue at the date of shipment to customers when a formal
arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is
completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and
collectibility is reasonably assured.
Reportable
segments
Reportable
segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure,
management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a
company. All of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC. The Company has two
reportable segments based on their product lines.
Accounting
for income taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.109 (“SFAS 109”) which requires that deferred tax assets
and liabilities be recognized for future tax consequences attributable to
differences between financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax basis, In addition, SFAS 109 requires
recognition of future tax benefits, such as carry forwards, to the extent that
realization of such benefits is more likely than not and that a valuation
allowance be provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign
currency translation
The
functional currency of China Stationery and Office Supply, Inc and Subsidiaries
is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes,
RMB has been translated into United States Dollars (“USD”) as the reporting
currency. Assets and Liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect
at the balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the
average rate of exchange prevailing for the period. Capital accounts are
translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital
translation
occurred. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange
rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity
as “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. Gains and losses resulting from
foreign currency transactions are included in accumulated other comprehensive
income.
Statement
of cash flows
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.95, “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.
New
accounting pronouncements
In
February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments. FAS No. 155 replaces FAS
No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and
FAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. FAS No. 155 resolves issues
addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of
Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This
statement will be effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued
after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. The new standard has not had any impact on the
Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
157, Fair Value Measurements, (“FAS 157”). This Standard defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 and interim periods with those fiscal years. The
adoption of FAS 157 has not had material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Quantifying Misstatements.” SAB 108
provides interpretative guidance on how public companies quantify financial
statement misstatements. There have been two common approaches used to quantify
such errors. Under an income statement approach, the “roll-over” method, the
error is quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement is
misstated. Alternatively, under a balance sheet approach, the “iron curtain”
method, the error is quantified as the cumulative amount by which the current
year balance sheet is misstated. In SAB 108, the SEC established an approach
that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the
effects of the misstatements on each of the company’s financial statements and
the related financial statement disclosures. SAB 108 is effective for the first
fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of
operations.
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows
companies to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value. It
also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for
similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected
to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51” (‘SFAS No.160”).
SFAS No.160 requires that non-controlling (or minority) interest in subsidiaries
be reported in the equity section of the company’s balance sheet, rather than in
mezzanine section of the balance sheet between liabilities and equity. SFAS No.
160 also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is
reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement, SFAS No.
160 also changes the manner in which the net income of the Subsidiary is
ownership percentages and for deconsolidation. SFAS No.160 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after December 1, 2008 and
interim periods within those years.

13-STATUTORY COMMON WELFARE
FUND
As
stipulated by the Company Law of China, net income after taxation can only be
distributed as dividends after appropriation 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 March 31, 2008. Therefore, Company
was not required to allocate the “statutory surplus reserve”
NOTE
14-INCOME
TAXES
Deferred
income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognizes for the unexpected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting amounts and
the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax
laws and tax rates in effect in the China for the periods in which the
differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense is the tax payable for
the period plus the change during the period in deferred income taxes. A
valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, respectively, will be
realized. Therefore, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities for the
period ended March 31, 2008.
Since the
Company’s Chinese subsidiaries (“Binbin” and NBSC”) are Sino-joint venture
enterprises, under the Chinese tax regulation, they are exempt from corporate
income tax. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued income tax for these
subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE 15- 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 is computed similar to basic
earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the
number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the
potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive. There are no common stock equivalents available in the computation of
earnings (loss) per share at March 31, 2008.
According
to the Chinese Company Law, the company has allocated 10% of its annual net
profit to the reserve fund. As of March 31, 2008, this fund has accumulated in
the amount of $592,231.

16 NOTE 16 -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 March 31, 2008,
substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major
banks located in the PRC of 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 account
receivable.
There was
a single vendor who accounted for 10 % of the Company’s total raw material
purchases during the three months period ended March 31, 2008.
The
Company had one major customer who accounted for 17% of the total sales for the
three months period ended March 31, 2008.
The
Company’s sales are heavily dependent on exports sales to USA and Asia for the
three months period ended March 31, 2008.
NOTE-17 CONTINGENCIES

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 quarter of 2008. The reduced
competitive position of our products caused us to realize only $3,190,241 in net
sales revenue, a 72% reduction from the first quarter of 2007. And
even on those reduced sales, we realized only $165,276 in gross profit (compared
to $1,323,485 in the first quarter of 2007), which 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 quarter 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 11.4% in the first quarter of 2007 to
5.2% in the first quarter 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 market for non-ferrous metals,
such as zinc, copper and nickel, became substantially inflated. This
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.
Despite
the dramatic decline in our sales revenue, the ratio of our sales expenses to
our net sales remained relatively static, declining from 5.2% in the first
quarter of 2007 to 4.9% in the first quarter of 2008. Our ability to
sustain that ratio reflected our efforts to increase the efficiency of our
marketing operations. However, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased from $270,809 or 2.3% of sales in the first quarter of 2007
to $278,185 or 8.7% of sales in the first quarter of 2008. The
principal reasons for the overall increase in expenses were:
·
|
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
operations of our subsidiary, Binbin Style, produced a net loss of $335,140
during 2007. However, because we own only 90% of Binbin Style, we
reduced the loss by a “minority interest” of $33,514 on our Statement of
Operations. If, in the future, Binbin Style returns to profitable
operations, the profits will likewise be reduced by the “minority
interest.” After that deduction and taking into account the expenses
incurred by the parent corporation, our net loss for the first three months of
2008 was $503,554, compared to net income of $149,964 in the first three months
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 three months of 2008 the unrealized gain
on foreign currency translations added $142,973 to our accumulated other
comprehensive income.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On March
31, 2008 we had a working capital deficit of $5,445,723, having added $660,015
to our deficit since December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the
deficit is the customary Chinese banking practice of funding business clients
through short-term debt. Because of that policy, our entire bank debt
($16.4 million at March 31, 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 lending 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 “other
receivables” of $6,386,336.” These represent moneys that we have
loaned to suppliers to secure good selling terms from them. The loans are
understood to be due on demand. However, as per the accepted practice
in China, we will afford the supplier this credit as the supplier requires it,
in order to maintain the goodwill of the relationship.
The
second financing arrangement related to our business operations involves a
series of guarantees, some mutual, some in exchange for business
advantages. At March 31, 2008 Binbin was the guarantor of a total of
33.6 million RMB in debt (approximately $4,791, 360). 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.
- 14 -
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 (6.85% to 7.47%). 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.
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.

4. CONTROLS

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s
“disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e) as of the
end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), concluded
that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.
(b) Changes in internal controls. During the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
