CHINA
STATIONERY AND OFFICE SUPPLY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2009 AND 2008
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION
AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
China
Stationery and Office Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state
of Delaware in February 2002. The Company’s primary business, through
its operating subsidiaries based in China, is to develop, manufacture and market
office supplies including stationery, hole punchers, staplers, pens and pencils,
rubber stamps, felt markers and numerous other items, which are sold through a
worldwide network of distributors in China.
The
Company’s business operations are carried on by its subsidiary, 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.
NBSC is 90% owned by Binbin.
On
January 8, 2006, a Delaware corporation named “China Stationery and Office
Supply, Inc. (the “Intermediate Subsidiary”) acquired 90% of the registered
capital of Binbin. At the date of the acquisition of Binbin, by
the Intermediate Subsidiary, both Binbin and the Intermediate Subsidiary were
under control. For that reason the transfer of 90% of the stock of
Binbin to the Intermediate Subsidiary did not meet the definition of a business
combination defined by SFAS 141, “Business Combinations, as
amended”. For transfers of assets under common control, the Company
follows the provisions of Appendix D of SFAS No. 141. In accordance
with Appendix D of SFAS 141, the receiving entity for transfers of net assets
and exchanges of shares between entities under common control should report
results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as though the
transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interest has occurred at the
beginning of the period.
On
May 26, 2006, the Company completed a share exchange in which it acquired 100%
of the outstanding common stock of the Intermediate Subsidiary. The transaction
was treated as a reverse merger. Accordingly, Intermediate Subsidiary is treated
as the continuing entity for accounting purposes and the historical financial
information prior to the merger is that of the Intermediate
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.
6
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
carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that
reflects the Company's best estimate of the amounts that may not be collected.
This estimate is based on reviews of all balances in excess payment terms,
typically 90-120 days; however, the Company extends credit terms up to 12 month
for certain customers. Based on this review which includes customer
credit worthiness and history, general economic conditions and changes in
customer payment patterns, the Company estimates the portion, if any, of the
balance that will not be collected. Management reviews its valuation allowance
on a monthly basis.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at lower of cost, as determined on a weighted average basis, or
market value.
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.
7
Long-lived
assets
The
Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No, 144
“Accounting for the impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived 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.
8
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.
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
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” The current GAAP hierarchy, as set forth in the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, has been criticized because (1) it is directed
to the auditor rather than the entity, (2) it is complex, and (3) it ranks FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts. The FASB believes that the GAAP
hierarchy should be directed to entities
9
New
accounting pronouncements
because
it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting
principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.
Accordingly, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the
accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to
achieve that result. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) simultaneously
issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations (2007 Amendment),” and SFAS 160,
Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of
ARB 51.” Both standards update United States guidance on accounting
for “non-controlling interests,” sometimes referred to as minority interests,
which interests represent a portion of a subsidiary not attributable, directly
or indirectly, to a parent. FASB and the International Accounting Standards
Board (“IASB”) have been working together to promote international convergence
of accounting standards. Prior to promulgation of these new standards there were
specific areas in accounting for business acquisitions in which conversion was
not achieved. The objective of both standards is to improve the relevance,
comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting
entity provides in “business combinations” and consolidated financial statements
by establishing accounting and reporting standards. In business combinations it
is accomplished by establishing principles and requirements concerning how an
“acquirer” recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, as well as goodwill
acquired in the combination or gain from a bargain purchase; and determines
information to be disclosed to enable users to evaluate the nature and effects
of business combinations. In consolidated financial statements the standards
require: identification of ownership interests held in subsidiaries by parties
other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled and presented in
consolidated financial position within equity (rather than “mezzanine” between
liabilities and equity) separately from amounts attributed to the parent, with
net income attributable to the parent and to the minority interest clearly
identified and presented on the face of consolidated statements of income. The
standards also provide guidance in situations where the parent’s ownership
interest in a subsidiary changes while the parent retains its controlling
financial interest. The standard also provides guidance on recording a gain or
loss based on fair value in situations involving deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. Entities must provide sufficient disclosures that distinguish
between interests of the parent and that of the non-controlling
interest.
Both
standards are effective for fiscal years and interims beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 (that is January 1, 2009) for entities with calendar years.
Earlier adoption is prohibited. The standards shall be applied prospectively as
of the beginning of the fiscal year in which initially applied, except for the
presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively
for all periods presented. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of
SFAS No. 141R and No. 160 will have an impact on the Company's overall results
of operations or financial position, unless the Company makes a business
acquisition in which there is a non-controlling interest.
10
NOTE 3- ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE
Accounts
receivable are uncollateralized, non-interest bearing customer obligations
typically due under terms requiring payment within 90-120 days from the invoice
date. However, the Company does extend certain customers credit terms
up to 12 months. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed
to the customer. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the
specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if
unspecified, are applied to the oldest unpaid invoices.

NOTE 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
|
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve should be approved in the
shareholders’ general meeting.
The
Company incurred a loss in the three months period ended March 31, 2009.
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
year ended March 31, 2009.
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 three months period ended March 31, 2009.
15
NOTE 15- EARNINGS
(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
There are no common stock equivalents available in the computation of earnings
(loss) per share at March 31, 2009.
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, 2009,
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
were two vendors who accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s total raw
material purchases during the three months period ended March 31,
2009.
The
Company had five major customers who accounted for 39% of the total sales for
the three months period ended March 31, 2009. Accounts receivable
from these customers was $ 394,173 that amount represented 15% of the total
account receivable as of March 31, 2009.
The
Company’s sales are heavily dependent on exports sales to South America, America
and Asia for the three months period ended March 31, 2009.
NOTE 17-
CONTINGENCIES
As
of March 31, 2009, Ninbo Binbin Stationery Co., Ltd (“Binbin”) is contingently
liable as a guarantor with respect to approximately $ 1,696,964 of indebtedness
of non-related entities. The term of the guarantees is through August 31, 2009.
At any time through that day, should any one of the entities default on its 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 was $1,696,964 as of March 31,
2009.

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 in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the
heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
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 three months of 2009. The reduced
competitive position of our products caused us to realize only $1,874,293 in net
sales revenue, a 41% reduction from the level of sales that we realized in the
first three months of 2008. And even on those reduced sales, we realized only
$82,657 in gross profit for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $165,276 for
the first quarter of 2008. That level of gross profit was far less
than we required in order to cover our operating expenses.
As
noted, our gross margin on the sales fell slightly from 5.2% in the first three
months of 2009 to 4.4% in the first three months of 2009. Our gross
margin in the first quarter of 2008 was already low, reflecting the effect of
the falling value of the Dollar over the past several years. While
the Dollar has improved in recent months, the continuing decrease in gross
margin in the first quarter of 2009 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.
Although
the current worldwide recession has alleviated some of the stress on our margins
– the Dollar is gaining value and commodities prices are falling – the decline
over the past several years has been so severe that we do not expect it to be
reversed in the near future. 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 three month period by 30%,
from $484,713 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $339,592 in the three
months ended March 31, 2009. 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.
Over
the past twelve months, we reduced slightly our bank loans from $16,399,000 at
March 31, 2008 to $15,214,160 at March 31, 2009. At the same time, our effective
interest rate fell slightly, so that our interest expense for the first quarter
of 2009 was $276,420, compared to $265,134 for the first quarter of 2008.
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 the above reasons, we incurred a net loss of $462,350 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease by $91,017 or 16.4% from the net loss of
$553,367 for the first three months of 2008.
18
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 in the first three months of 2009 the unrealized
gain on foreign currency translations added $35,398 to our accumulated other
comprehensive income.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
March 31, 2009 we had a working capital deficit of $7,368,729, having added
$329,525 to our deficit since December 31, 2008. One of the reasons
for the increase in our deficit is the reduction of our accounts receivable by
37.8% to $2,573,144, as a result of the decline of our sales, compared to
$4,139,081 as of December 31, 2008. At the same time, advances from our
customers increased during the first quarter of 2009 by $400,276, or 67%, to
$996,843 compared to $596,567 as of December 31, 2008. This indicates
a more positive beginning to the second quarter of 2009 than we had on entering
the first quarter.
The
primary reason for the magnitude of our working capital deficit is the customary
Chinese banking practice of funding business clients through short-term
debt. Because of that policy, our entire bank debt ($15.2 million at
March 31, 2009) 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. 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 suppliers” totaling $2,075,654 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 March 31, 2009 Binbin was the guarantor of a total of
$1,696,964 in bank debt owed by other entities. We made these
guarantees for the same reason as supported our loans to
suppliers. 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.
