Item 1.Business
Introduction
We were incorporated on July 8, 1983, in the business of providing specialty printing services to the commercial printing industry. Until consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement (hereinafter defined), our revenue was derived from providing printing services to other printing businesses.
4
On March 10, 2008, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Great East Bottles & Drinks (BVI) Inc. (“GEBD BVI”) and Guy A-Tsan Chung (formerly known as Chung A. San Guy), the sole shareholder of GEBD BVI (the “Shareholder”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity of GEBD BVI from the Shareholder in consideration for 32,460,000 shares of our common stock (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange was consummated on March 10, 2008.
Subsequent to the completion of the Share Exchange Agreement, GEBD BVI’s business became our major business and the Shareholder became our majority shareholder. Our operating entities produced beverage bottles which mainly are made of PET, a type of plastic with desirable characteristic for packaging including a clear and wide range of colors and shapes and tough resistance to heat, moisture and dilute acid. The operating entities manufacture and sell beverage bottles in China for bottling of Carbonated Soft Drinks (“CSD”) for world brands including Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
In December 2009, we restructured our group so that our subsidiary, HGEP, held our operating entities GEPNJ and GEPXA. As a result, any operations that we had were either conducted by HGEP or by its subsidiaries. In December 2009, HGEP through its subsidiary acquired a 99.99% interest in three new operating entities from a company controlled by Mr. Guy Chung. These entities were United Joy International Limited (“United Joy”), Upjoy Holdings Limited (“Upjoy”) and Greatgrand Global Limited (“Greatgrand”).
In exchange for these new operating entities, we transferred shares in a wholly-owned subsidiary that holds a 15% interest in HGEP to a company controlled by Mr. Guy Chung. Additionally, we granted another company controlled by Mr. Guy Chung an option exercisable at $1 to purchase 60% of our subsidiary GEPI whose sole assets are an 84% interest in HGEP.
We have assumed for the purposes of this annual report and the financial statements included herein that the option to acquire a 60% interest in GEPI has been exercised. As a result, our only assets are our 33.6% interests in the operating entities described herein.
On October 26, 2010, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Water Scientific Holdings Limited (“Water Scientific”) and the shareholder of Water Scientific whereby we acquired 100% of Water Scientific in exchange for 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Water Scientific was subsequently sold on March 31, 2011.
On December 30, 2010, we entered into, and completed, an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Chung A. Tsan Guy whereby we sold its subsidiary GEBD BVI in exchange for Mr. Chung surrendering 31,498,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
In February, 2011, three new subsidiaries of the Company were formed and have since maintained operations. These subsidiaries are “Great China Media limited” (which operates a publisher business), “Great China Game Limited” (which operates a game retail business), and “GME Holding Limited” (which operates an artist and artist management business). In June 2011, another new subsidiary GMEC Ventures Limited, a Hong Kong company, was formed and maintained for holding future investment if any.
Current Corporate Structure
As of the date of this filing, our corporate structure is as follows:
GMEC owns a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sharp Achieve Holdings Limited (BVI). Sharp Achieve Holdings Limited (BVI) has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Super China Global Limited (BVI). Super China Global Limited (BVI) has four subsidiaries: 1) Great China Media Limited which was incorporated February 1, 2011; 2) GME Holdings Limited which was incorporated February 18, 2011; 3) Great China Games Limited which was incorporated February 1, 2011and 4) GMEC Ventures Limited was incorporated June 1, 2011.
General Description of Current Business
GMEC is an electronic content provider that creates and provides leisure and lifestyle-related electronic content to Hong Kong, Macau and China. We group these contents into different electronic magazines according to the content theme and distribute them to various targeted customers through different channels. We utilize these electronic contents to produce traditional paper magazines as well. Furthermore, in order to support the core business of electronic content production, we also operate an artist management company, which enhances our ability to create and provide electronic content by leveraging the popularity and publicity of artists and celebrities in creating stories and events. Since a substantial portion of our electronic content is related to computer technology and video games, we also operate two computer and video game retail stores to enhance our ability to access to the most updated market segment.

Industry and Market Environment
GCM
Hong Kong is a major center for Chinese-language publications. Some local Chinese newspapers and magazines are also distributed in Taiwan, the Chinese mainland and overseas communities where there are significant Chinese population.
Mainland market opening measures after the WTO accession are restricted to the formation of Sino-foreign joint-ventures in the publishing business and distribution of publications. Meanwhile, setting up wholly-owned publishing or import companies on the Chinese mainland remains off-limit to foreign companies, including Hong Kong companies. Hong Kong companies’ participation is now mainly focused on entering the market through copyright trade and establishing ties with mainland publishing companies in the importation and distribution fields. The huge potential of the Chinese mainland marketing is globally focused. Hong Kong publishers are at an advantageous position to market China studies to the world. There are growing opportunities for publishers to market trade journals to Western companies which want to establish or expand their presence in the mainland market.
Hong Kong’s publishing industry is adapting to the digitalization trend, while the electronic book frenzy is sweeping the globe. In the past year, over 1,000 local e-books were published in Hong Kong. 24Reader, a local e-book integrator, has seen a steady growth of 10–20 percent in its mobile e-book apps business since last year. Responding to the growing popularity of electronic reading, the Hong Kong Book Fair 2011 featured two theme zones on e-publishing with 32 exhibitors, a 60 percent increase from last year. The Future Book Store, making its debut at the 2011 fair, attracted 10,000 visitors, and the e-book Reading Platform launched by 3 Hong Kong and HKTDC recorded more than 18,000 downloads since the end of June.
Underpinning Hong Kong’s publishing businesses is a highly developed printing industry. Meanwhile, many Hong Kong printing companies have relocated their factories to the PRC. According to the Hong Kong Printers Association, more than 70 percent of Hong Kong printing factories have moved to the PRC area.
GMEH
China’s overall spending on entertainment and media is growing, and this sector will likely continue to grow over the next five years.
GCG
The world video gaming industry is predicted to record nine percent yearly growth through 2013, to exceed $76 billion, according to Business Insights. Management believes mobile and online gaming formats likely will be the predominant market segments, and customers will likely take advantage of wider, faster, and more mobile internet access. Console gaming, the market’s current segment leader, will likely see its rate of sales decelerate.
Major Competitors
We have two major prevailing competitors in Hong Kong, specifically: Next Media Limited and New Media Group Holdings Limited Hong Kong.
Next Media Limited (SEHK: 0282), was founded by Jimmy Lai. This company has more than 3,600 employees and is the largest-listed media company in Hong Kong. Next Media Limited has subdivisions, including Next Media Interactive. This company is known for introducing tabloid-style journalism into Hong Kong and Taiwan that set trends in both markets. Apple Daily was the first newspaper to use the massive graphics, bold headlines and full color pages now common to all best-selling papers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
9
New Media Group Holdings Limited is a local publisher, which is principally engaged in the publication and marketing of Chinese-language weekly magazines and the sale of advertising in those magazines. This company’s activities are primarily centered in Hong Kong. The contents of the magazines published by this company can be classified into two distinctive central themes: lifestyle, and investment/finance. Currently, New Media Group Holdings Limited publishes five flagship Chinese-language magazines in Hong Kong, four of which are lifestyle magazines, including: “Weekend Weekly,” “New Monday,” “Oriental Sunday,” and “Fashion & Beauty.” The remainder of the company’s magazines are focused on investment and finance, namely, the “Economic Digest.”
Competitive Advantages
GCM
One of this segment’s competitive advantages is that it utilizes crossover platforms, including traditional print media, online media, and mobile media. We also utilize an outdoor media platform. We have already created thousands of e-content for different platforms, and we have united and standardized our databases for our e-content. This makes it very easy to connect with different mobile operator portals and e-content platforms.
The Company also has an in-house technology team that develops interactive applications, such as smart phone games that relate to magazine content or to adhere to a client’s brand promotion strategy, electronic media delivery programs, and online database development that is linked with mobile operators and/or other online eBook platforms.
GMEH
Management believes this segment has several competitive advantages, including: a well-known supporting team in the market, a number of leading artists in market, and support by our own media network. Management believes this will allow us an advantage in the market to promote our artists and connect with other clients.
GCG
Management believes this segment has several competitive advantages, including: a well-known video game magazine (GameWave), regular interactions with various distributors to provide pre-order and pre-sale events, and an online pre-order platform that allows customers to pre-order and book their games online and pick-up their merchandise in shop or receive it by mail. We are also an official retail partner-shop of Microsoft Xbox and a reseller of ‘Monster cable’ products.
Business development
GCM
In 2012, we plan to establish a new lifestyle electronic magazine and traditional magazines with a soccer athlete in the United Kingdom and China markets. We are going to cooperate with lifestyle online game developer to provide our magazine content in their e-shop system. We plan to provide our electronic magazine and records productions to mainland mobile operators and other online platforms.
GMEH
In 2012, we plans to setup a new Social Networking Services platform called I-Scout. This is an innovative modeling-agency business model, integrated with advanced interactive technology. It will consist of a database of over 10,000 model talents from different countries. It will be a system that provides promotion materials for online merchants, and it will allow client to search through an online database of modeling talents and engage them to model for their product at an affordable cost. This will expand the Company’s clients’ geographic service coverage areas, through the low cost use of Internet technology.
10
We plans to use in-house production and production photographers located in several strategic locations in China. We also hope to expand this business model into other Asian countries, and leverage the experience in model talent search and brand marketing to create a barrier to entry for other competitors.
GCG
In 2012, Great China Games Limited will start to create an online pre-order platform with a mobile operator. This will allow customers, through an operator-payment gateway, to pre-order video games and purchase online game coins. Moreover, we target as 1-2 game accessories branding sole agent in HK.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are risks, as described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock. Any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have incurred substantial losses from inception while realizing limited revenues and we may never generate substantial revenues or be profitable in the future.
11
Competition in this industry could result in us losing market share and charging lower prices for services, which could reduce our revenue.
We predominately compete in the fashion model management industry with numerous competitors, from large multi-national companies to local and boutique agencies. We also compete in the general talent management industry. “Talent” means any model, entertainer, artist, athlete or other talent or celebrity. We endeavor to secure product endorsement contracts from branded consumer products companies for talent represented by us.
In many of our markets, our competitors may possess greater resources, greater name recognition, greater geographic reach and longer operating histories than us, which may give competitors an advantage in obtaining future clients and attracting qualified models and other talent in their markets. Increased competition may lead to, among other things, loss of business and market share and pricing pressures that could negatively impact our business.
In addition, because one of our principal assets is people, and freedom of entry into the model management business is almost unlimited, a small agency may, on occasion, be able to develop business with our clients, particularly if the small agency is successful in recruiting other successful talent.
Our prospects and financial results may be adversely affected if we fail to identify, sign and retain quality talent.
We are dependent on identifying, signing and retaining models and other talent who are well received by clients and are likely to generate repeat business. Our competitive position is dependent on our continuing ability to attract and develop talent whose work can achieve a high degree of client acceptance. Our financial results may be adversely affected if we are unable to identify, sign and/or retain such talent under terms that are economically attractive to us. Our business would be adversely affected by any of the following:
·
|
inability to recruit new models;

In addition, the fashion model industry is a youthful business, and models’ careers are inherently limited in length. The loss or maturing of talent, particularly key talent responsible for significant gross billings, negatively impacts us. If we are unable to replace lost talent, including by successfully recruiting or developing new talent, our business will suffer. New talent is also important for us to continually show talent alternatives to clients, who regularly seek new “looks”.
We have relied upon our ability to enforce contracts entered into by models and other talent we represent. If we are unable to protect and enforce our contractual rights, we may suffer a loss of revenue
Our success depends, to a large degree, on our current talent under management and, in the future, scouting new talent and entering into new contracts. To protect our contractual rights, we have traditionally vigorously defended our contractual rights vis-à-vis models and other talent, as well as other agencies and companies, for both financial reasons and to encourage ongoing strict adherence to contracts by all models and other talent. Such strict enforcement through litigation and other legal means could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and the potential loss of contractual rights, which could impair our results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to retain key management personnel or hire additional skilled personnel, we may not be able to successfully manage our business in the future.
Our key management personnel and their skills and relationships with clients are among our most important assets. An important aspect of our competitiveness is our ability to attract and retain key management personnel, and our future success depends upon the continued service or involvement of key management personnel. If we lose the services of one or more of our key management personnel, or if one or more of them decides to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with us, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our business objectives. The loss of the services of any of our key management personnel or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
12
In addition to retaining key existing management personnel, our future success may also depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, and motivate other highly skilled management, agents and administrative personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract, assimilate or motivate sufficiently qualified personnel. The failure to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we are unable to maintain our professional reputation and brand name, our business will be harmed.
We strongly depend on our overall reputation and brand name recognition, which we believe is strong in the industry, to secure new engagements and to sign qualified talent. Our success also depends on the individual reputations of the talent that we represent. In addition, any adverse effect on our reputation might negatively impact our businesses, which is driven largely by the value of the Company’s brand. If any client is dissatisfied with our services, this may adversely affect our ability to secure new engagements.
If any factor, including poor performance, hurts our reputation, we may experience difficulties in competing successfully for both new client engagements and qualified talent. Failing to maintain our professional reputation and the goodwill associated with our brand name could seriously harm our business.
Our revenue and net income may be affected by adverse economic conditions.
Recessions may impact gross billings for modeling services. An important segment of the modeling industry is advertising, with advertising assignments typically generating amongst the highest daily fees in the business. Because advertising expenditures are viewed by companies as discretionary and are curtailed during economic downturns, agency gross billings may also decline over recessionary periods. There can be no assurance that current economic conditions will improve or even remain stable. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer if economic conditions weaken.
If some of our clients experience financial distress, their weakened financial position could negatively affect our financial position and results.
We have a diverse client base, and at any given time, one or more of our clients may experience financial distress, file for bankruptcy protection or go out of business. If any client with whom we have a substantial amount of business experiences financial difficulty, it could delay or jeopardize the collection of accounts receivable, may result in significant reductions in services provided by us and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
We may undertake acquisitions to expand our business, which may dilute the ownership of existing stockholders.
As we pursue our business plan, we may pursue acquisitions of businesses, both domestic and international. International acquisitions in particular would permit us to expand our global footprint. To finance any acquisitions however, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on favorable terms or at all, and, in the case of equity financings, would result in additional dilution to existing stockholders. If we acquire any business and are unable to integrate the newly acquired entities effectively, our business and results of operations may suffer. The time and expense associated with finding suitable and compatible businesses or services could also disrupt our ongoing business and divert management’s attention. Future acquisitions by us could result in large and immediate write-offs or assumptions of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Any acquisitions that we attempt or complete could prove difficult to integrate or require a substantial commitment of management time and other resources.
Any strategy of acquiring other businesses involves a number of unique risks including: (i) completing due diligence successfully, (ii) exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies and (iii) increased risk of costly and time-consuming litigation, including stockholder lawsuits. If we pursue acquisitions, we may be unable to address these problems successfully. Moreover, our future operating results will depend to a significant degree on our ability to integrate acquisitions (if any) successfully and manage operations while also controlling our expenses. Integrating newly acquired businesses or services is likely to be expensive and time consuming. We may be unable to select, manage or absorb or integrate any future acquisitions successfully, particularly acquisitions of large companies. Any acquisition, even if effectively integrated, may not benefit our stockholders.
13
We may need additional debt or equity to sustain growth, but we do not have commitments for such funds.
We may need to finance future growth through a combination of borrowings, cash flow from operations, and equity financing. Our ability to continue growing at the pace we have recently grown could depend in part on our ability to obtain either additional debt or equity financing. The terms on which debt and equity financing is available to us varies from time to time and is influenced by our performance and by external factors, such as the economy generally and developments in the market, which are beyond our control. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our growth by delaying new initiatives. While we maintain a credit facility, our efforts to secure significant funds through debt financing have not been successful and, given the cautiousness of banks following the 2008 downturn, do not look likely in the foreseeable future.
Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or services as a result.
We are not aware of any claims of infringement or challenges to our right to use any of our trademarks in the U.S. Nevertheless, we could be subject to claims that we are misappropriating or infringing intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others. Given that proprietary rights to photography, artwork and similar intellectual property rights are a fundamental part of marketing in the fashion and technology industry, we may be exposed at times to claims with respect to such rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, can be expensive to defend and divert management’s attention from our operations. If we become liable to third parties for infringing these rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award and cease displaying, offering or selling works, products or services that use or contain the infringing intellectual property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing products or services or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms. We may also be required to indemnify licensees and customers if they become subject to third-party claims relating to intellectual property that they license or otherwise provide to them, which could be costly.
We may not be able to adequately protect our media rights (including any intellectual property rights we have or may acquire).
Portions of our business rely on media and intellectual property. Protecting these rights is difficult. Piracy may adversely affect our revenue, particularly in countries where laws are less protective of such rights. Further, reductions in the legal protection for intellectual property rights could adversely affect revenue.
Our future results could be materially adversely affected if it is found to have infringed on intellectual property rights.
Technology companies, including many of our subsidiaries’ competitors, frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, patent holding companies seek to monetize patents they have purchased or otherwise obtained. Although we have not encountered any intellectual property rights claims against it, as the Company grows, the intellectual property rights claims against it may increase.
Regardless of the scope or validity of such claims by potential or actual litigants, we may have to engage in litigation. If we are found to infringe any patents, it may be required to pay substantial damages. If there is a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain products or a successful claim of infringement against us requiring it to pay royalties to a third-party, its financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected, regardless of whether it can develop non-infringing technology. In certain cases, we may consider the desirability of entering into licensing agreements, although no assurance can be given that such licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur. These licenses may also significantly increase our operating expenses.
14
We may experience outages, data loss, and disruptions with the technology related to our services.
Inefficiencies or operational failures, including temporary or permanent loss of customer data, could diminish the quality of our products, services, and user experience resulting in contractual liability, claims by customers and other third parties, damage to our reputation and loss of current and potential users, subscribers, and advertisers, each of which may harm our operating results and financial condition.
Delays in product development schedules may adversely affect our revenue.
The development of technology products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods. Significant delays in new product or service releases or significant problems in creating new products or services could adversely affect our revenue.
We make significant investments in new products and services that may not be profitable.
Our growth partially depends on our ability to innovate by offering new, and adding value to our existing, technological and service offerings. We will continue to make investments in research, development, and marketing for new products, services, and technologies. Investments in new technology are speculative. Commercial success depends on many factors, including innovativeness, developer support, and effective distribution and marketing. If customers do not perceive our offerings as providing significant new functionality or other value, they may reduce their purchases of our products or upgrades, unfavorably impacting revenue. We may not achieve significant revenue from new product and service investments for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, new products and services may not be profitable, and even if they are profitable, operating margins for new products and businesses may not be high.
To remain competitive and stimulate customer demand, we must successfully manage frequent product introductions and transitions.
Due to the highly volatile and competitive nature of the industries in which we compete, we must continually introduce new products, services and technologies, enhance existing products and services, and effectively stimulate customer demand for new and upgraded products. The success of new product introductions depends on a number of factors including but not limited to timely and successful product development, market acceptance, our ability to manage the risks associated with new products and production ramp issues, the availability of application software for new products, the effective management of purchase commitments and inventory levels in line with anticipated product demand, the availability of products in appropriate quantities and costs to meet anticipated demand, and the risk that new products may have quality or other defects in the early stages of introduction. Accordingly, we cannot determine in advance the ultimate effect of new product introductions and transitions on its financial condition and operating results.
We rely on third-party intellectual property and digital content, which may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Many of our products include third-party intellectual property, which requires licenses from those third parties. Based on past experience and industry practice, we believe such licenses generally could be obtained on reasonable terms. There is however no assurance that the necessary licenses could be obtained on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain or renew critical licenses on reasonable terms, our financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected.
Our future performance depends in part on support from third-party software developers.
We believe decisions by customers to purchase its hardware products depend in part on the availability of third-party software applications and services. There is no assurance that third-party developers will continue to develop and maintain software applications and services for our products. If third-party software applications and services cease to be developed and maintained for our products, customers may choose not to buy our products, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
15
Investment in new business strategies and initiatives could disrupt our ongoing business and present risks not originally contemplated.
We have invested, and in the future may invest, in new business strategies or acquisitions. Such endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management from current operations, insufficient revenue to offset liabilities assumed and expenses associated with the strategy, inadequate return of capital, and unidentified issues not discovered in the Company’s due diligence. These new ventures are inherently risky and may not be successful. They may materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
We may be subject to information technology system failures or network disruptions that could damage our reputation, business operations, and financial conditions.
We may be subject to information technology system failures and network disruptions. These may be caused by natural disasters, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or war, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar events or disruptions. System redundancy may be ineffective or inadequate, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Such failures or disruptions could prevent access to our online operations and services, preclude transactions, compromise Company or customer data, and result in delays or cancellations. System failures and disruptions could also impede the shipping of products, delivery of online services, transactions processing, and financial reporting.
Risks Relating to Business in Hong Kong
Substantially all of our assets are located in Hong Kong and substantially all of our revenues are derived from our operations in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political and legal developments in Hong Kong.
The economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental policies, could affect the financial markets in Hong Kong and our liquidity and access to capital and our ability to operate our business.
The Hong Kong economy differs from the economies of most countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. While the Hong Kong economy has experienced significant growth over the past, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Hong Kong government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Hong Kong economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. This may encourage foreign advertising companies with more experience, greater technological know-how and larger financial resources than we have to compete against us and limit the potential for our growth. Moreover, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.
The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
The Hong Kong legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. The overall effect of legislation over the past 26 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in Hong Kong. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we enjoy either by law or contract. However, since Hong Kong administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. For example, these uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into. In addition, such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could materially and adversely affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, particularly with regard to the advertising industry, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our suppliers.
16
If tax benefits currently available to us in Hong Kong were no longer available, our effective income tax rates for our Hong Kong operations could increase.
We generate a substantial portion or all our net income from our Hong Kong operations. Our net income could be adversely affected by any change in the current tax laws in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong tax authorities may require us to pay additional taxes in connection with our acquisitions of offshore entities that conducted their Hong Kong operations through their affiliates in the United States.
Our operations and transactions are subject to review by the Hong Kong tax authorities pursuant to relevant Hong Kong laws and regulations. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, in the case of some of our future acquisitions of offshore entities that conduct their Hong Kong operations through their affiliates in the United States, we cannot assure you that the Hong Kong tax authorities will not require us to pay additional taxes in relation to such acquisitions, in particular where the Hong Kong tax authorities take the view that the previous taxable income of the Hong Kong affiliates of the acquired offshore entities needs to be adjusted and additional taxes be paid. In the event that the sellers failed to pay any taxes required under Hong Kong law in connection with these transactions, the Hong Kong tax authorities might require us to pay the tax, together with late-payment interest and penalties.
Hong Kong rules on mergers and acquisitions may subject us to sanctions, fines and other penalties and affect our future business growth through acquisition of complementary business.
We cannot assure you that the relevant Hong Kong government agency approval required for any issuance of our stock will be deemed legal. We may face sanctions by the Hong Kong regulatory agencies. In such event, this regulatory agency may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the Hong Kong, limit our operating privileges in the Hong Kong, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from any future sales of our stock into Hong Kong, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects.
Complying with the requirements of rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the appropriate securities agency, may delay or inhibit the completion of such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.
Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Since a significant amount of our future revenues will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in United States dollars (“USD”) to fund our business activities outside Hong Kong, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans.
Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.
Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. The Hong Kong dollar may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the long term, depending on the fluctuation of the basket of currencies against which it is currently valued or it may be permitted to enter into a full float, which may also result in a significant appreciation or depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue in the future which will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from and the value of any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.
17
Any future outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome or avian flu in Hong Kong, or similar adverse public health developments, may severely disrupt our business and operations.
From December 2002 to June 2003, Hong Kong and other countries experienced an outbreak of a new and highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. On July 5, 2003, the World Health Organization declared that the SARS outbreak had been contained. Since September 2003, however, a number of isolated new cases of SARS have been reported, most recently in central Hong Kong in April 2004. During May and June of 2003, many businesses in Hong Kong were closed by the Hong Kong government to prevent transmission of SARS. In addition, many countries, including Hong Kong, have encountered incidents of the H5N1 strain of bird flu, or avian flu. This disease, which is spread through poultry populations, is capable in some circumstances of being transmitted to humans and is often fatal. A new outbreak of SARS or an outbreak of avian flu may result in health or other government authorities requiring the closure of our distributor’s offices or other businesses, including office buildings, retail stores and other commercial venues, which comprise the primary locations where we provide our digital out-of-home advertising services. Any recurrence of the SARS outbreak, an outbreak of avian flu or a development of a similar health hazard in Hong Kong, may deter people from congregating in public places, including a range of commercial locations such as office buildings and retail stores. Such occurrences would severely impact the value of our digital out-of-home advertising networks to advertisers, significantly reduce the advertising time purchased by advertisers and severely disrupt our business and operations.
Risks Associated with Our Stock
Our shares are listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, and our shares will likely be classified as a “penny stock” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price less than $5.00. Our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
We are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:
l Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
l Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
l Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks;
l Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our stockholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
18
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, which may limit investor demand.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Such lack of dividend prospects may have an adverse impact on the market demand for our common stock as certain institutional investors may invest only in dividend-paying equity securities or may operate under other restrictions that may prohibit or limit their ability to invest in our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting us or our competitors. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could depress the market price of our common stock.
The sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
The OTC Bulletin Board, or the OTCBB, is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTCBB is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange. As a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your common stock or you may not be able to sell your common stock for an optimum trading price.
The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume limitations in over-the-counter securities. Our common stock is traded on the OTC QX Marketplace, or OTCQX, which is the trading tier on the OTCBB with the most demanding listing standards. Nevertheless, because trades and quotations on the OTCBB involve a manual process, the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The manual execution process may delay order processing and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price. Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery of legal trade confirmations may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.
When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCBB, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Lower trading volumes in a security may result in a lower likelihood of an individual’s orders being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted by the OTCBB at the time of the order entry. Orders for OTCBB securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTCBB. Due to the manual order processing involved in handling OTCBB trades, order processing and reporting may be delayed, and an individual may not be able to cancel or edit his order. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of common stock at the optimum trading prices.
The dealer’s spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of securities on the OTCBB if the common stock or other security must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities may incur an immediate “paper” loss due to the price spread. Moreover, dealers trading on the OTCBB may not have a bid price for securities bought and sold through the OTCBB. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTCBB may be decreased or eliminated.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must, after conducting a thorough due diligence review of a customer’s financial condition, have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Special rules on recommending speculative low priced securities to non-institutional customers require broker-dealers to make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other relevant financial information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. These FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and may have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
19
There has been no independent valuation of the stock, which means that the stock may be worth less than the purchase price.
This valuation of our stock is highly speculative and arbitrary. There is no relation to the market value, book value, or any other established criteria. We did not obtain an independent appraisal opinion on the valuation of the shares.
Investors may never receive cash distributions which could result in an investor receiving little or no return on his or her investment.
Distributions are payable at the sole discretion of our board of directors. We do not know the amount of cash that we will generate, if any, once we have more productive operations. Cash distributions are not assured, and we may never be in a position to make distributions.
Even if amarket develops for our shares, our shares may be thinly traded with wide share price fluctuations, low share prices and minimal liquidity.
If a market for our shares develops, the share price may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including: potential investors’ anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations; ·increased competition; our ability or inability to generate future revenues; and market perception of the future of development of wood product manufacturing.
In addition, if our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, our share price may be affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Our share price might be affected by general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates, or international currency fluctuations. In addition, even if our stock is approved for quotation by a market maker through the OTCBB, stocks traded over this quotation system are usually thinly traded, highly volatile and not followed by analysts. These factors, which are not under our control, may have a material effect on our share price.
We anticipate the need to sell additional authorized shares in the future. This will result in a dilution to our existing shareholders and a corresponding reduction in their percentage ownership in the Company.
We may seek additional funds through the sale of our common stock. This will result in a dilution effect to our shareholders whereby their percentage ownership interest in the Company is reduced. The magnitude of this dilution effect will be determined by the number of shares we will have to issue in the future to obtain the funds required. The sale of additional stock to new shareholders will reduce the ownership position of the current shareholders. The price of each share outstanding common share may decrease in the event we sell additional shares.
Since our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
Our shares are “penny stocks” and are covered by Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder's ability to dispose of his stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Note regarding forward – looking statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “we believe,” “the Company believes,” “management believes” and similar language. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those set forth in the discussion under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report. The actual results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Investors are also advised to refer to the information in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically Forms 10-Q and 8-K, in which we discuss in more detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. As such, investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks and uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Form 10-K to “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Registrant”, “our Company” or “the Company” are to Great China Mania Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Great East Bottles & Drinks (China) Holdings, Inc.), a Florida corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to (i) “BVI” are to British Virgin Islands; (ii) “PRC” and “China” are to the People’s Republic of China; (iii) “U.S. dollar”, “$” and “US$” are to United States dollars; (iv) “HKD” are to the Hong Kong Dollar; (v) “Securities Act” are to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (vi) “Exchange Act” are to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). US GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 9A. (T) Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Based on that evaluation and as described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of this material weakness and as a result of our failure to identify this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011.
24
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In connection with management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011:
1.
|
Insufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with financial statement reporting requirements.
|
As a result, we have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective as of December 31, 2011.
Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in the future.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
To remediate the material weakness surrounding this, we have performed and are continuing to perform, among others, the following actions:
•
|
additional training of our accounting personnel by our independent accountants of the proper format and compilation of data for US GAAP financial statements; and
|
•
|
additional coordination with our local accountants and auditors to strengthen our controls in an attempt to supplement the additional training of our employees.
|
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer have indicated that there were significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, and there were such control actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. We have performed, among others, the following actions:
•
|
additional training of our accounting personnel by our independent accountants of the proper format and compilation of data for US GAAP financial statements; and
|
•
|
additional coordination with our local accountants and auditors to strengthen our controls in an attempt to supplement the additional training of our employees.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
There has not been since January 1, 2011, nor is there currently pending any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are to be a party in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our Common Stock or any member of the immediate family of any of these persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest other than the following:
On March 9, 2011, we acknowledged the execution of a certain Purchase and Assignment Agreement GEBD BVI and Chan Ka Wai whereby the GEBD BVI assigned the rights of a certain past due promissory note dated December 31, 2010, due by us in the principal amount of HK$10,834,900 (the “Note”) to the Chan Ka Wai. As consideration for assignment of the Note by GEBD BVI, Chan Ka Wai agreed to pay GEBD BVI or its designees consideration in the aggregate sum of $600,000 United States Dollars. Thereafter, the Chan Ka Wai provided notice to us that he elected to convert the debt represented by the Note into shares of common stock of the Company and we agreed to convert the Note into 15,474,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On January 19, 2012, we entered into a subscription agreement with Chan Ka Wai (the “Subscriber”) whereby the Subscriber purchased 28,500,000 shares of common stock from us (the “Shares”). The purchase price of the shares was $ 519,200. The Shares were acquired for long-term investment, and the transferability of the Shares is restricted.
Director Independence
Our directors as of December 31, 2011, and currently, are not “independent directors” within the meaning of Rule 121(A) of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide and Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
On January 14, 2008, we engaged Madsen & Associates CPA, Inc. (“Madsen”) as its new principal independent accountants. The decision to engage Madsen as our principal independent accountants was approved by our Board of Directors on April 18, 2008. During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and through January 14, 2008, we did not consult with Madsen on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on our financial statements, and Madsen did not provide either a written report or oral advice to us that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great China Mania Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and the consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used, significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material aspects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company has restated its financial statements to correct an accounting error resulting from the sale of business assets. The effects of this restatement is discussed in note 16 to the financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have the necessary working capital to service its debt and for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in the notes to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Economic and political risk
The Company’s continuing operations and discontinued operations are conducted in Hong Kong. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in the Hong Kong may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company’s major operations in the Hong Kong are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s continued operations maintain bank accounts in Hong Kong. The Company’s discontinued operations maintain bank accounts in Hong Kong and China.
(c) Inventory
Inventories consisting of raw materials, work-in-progress, goods in transit and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor and a portion of overhead. Inventory costs are calculated using a weighted average, first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred, whereas significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. The cost and the related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income.
(e) Depreciation and amortization
The Company provides for depreciation of plant and equipment by use of the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.
Plant and equipment are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:
Building
|
20 years
|
Leasehold improvement
|
5 years
|
Office equipment
|
5 years
|
Machinery and equipment
|
5 – 15 years
|
Transportation equipment
|
5 years
|
Land use rights of discontinued operations are amortized over 50 years.
There was no depreciation expense attributable to the continuing operation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Depreciation expense attributable to the discontinued operations of both Water Scientific and GEBD BVI for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,582 and $3,475,598, respectively.
F-9
(f) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future events that could differ materially from actual results. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2011. The company impaired goodwill of $785,585 during the year ended December 31, 2010.
(g) Income tax
Income taxes are based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company periodically assesses the need to establish valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets to the extent the Company no longer believes it is more likely than not that the tax assets will be fully utilized.
The Company evaluates a tax position to determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is subject to a measurement assessment to determine the amount of benefit to recognize and the appropriate reserve to establish, if any. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, no benefit is recognized
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of Hong Kong, the applicable corporation income tax rate was 16.5% on assessable profits, if any, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(h) Fair value of financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, amount due from a related company, prepaid expenses and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, receipt in advance, short term borrowings, taxes payable and amount due to related parties.
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented, due to the short maturities of these instruments and the fact that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profiles at respective year ends.
F-10
(i) Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold or services rendered during the year, net of sales discounts and returns. Generally revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
-
|
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
|
-
|
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
|
-
|
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
|
-
|
Collectability is reasonably assured
|
Revenue recognition policies for each of the major products and services of continuing operations are illustrated as follows:
(i)
|
Revenue from traditional paper magazines sales is recognized when magazines are sold to customers, net of sales return.
|
(ii)
|
Revenue from the provision of advertising services is recognized when services are rendered.
|
(iii)
|
Revenue from electronic content sales like iPhone and Android applications is recognized when receipt is confirmed by service providers. In 2011, the revenue generated from digital content is not significant to the publication of magazines operation.
|
(iv)
|
Revenue from provision of artist management, event management, and promotion for its clients is recognized when services are rendered.
|
(v)
|
Revenue from artist-related merchandising is recognized when receipt is confirmed by clients according to the relating predetermined agreements. In 2011, the revenue generated from artist-related merchandising is not significant to the artist management, event management, and promotion operation.
|
(vi)
|
Revenue from intellectual property rights on CD, DVD and video products is recognized upon delivery of products to customers. In 2011, the revenue generated from intellectual property rights is minimal to the artist management, event management, and promotion operation.
|
(vii)
|
Revenue from retail sales of video games and accessories is recognized upon delivery of goods to customers.
|
For discontinued ecological products operations, bottles productions and OEM bottled water operations, revenue is recognized when delivery has occurred.
(j) Earnings per share
Basic earnings 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. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no dilutive securities outstanding.
(k) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(l) Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.
F-11
(m) Foreign currency translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (US$). The functional currency of the Company is the Hong Kong Dollar (HK$). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from HK$ at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The translation rates are as follows:
December 31, 2011

0.1282 | 0.1282 | ||||||
Average period/yearly HK$ : US$ exchange rate
|
0.1282 | 0.1282 |
(n) Stock-based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, contractors and non-employee directors. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
On April 25, 2011, the Company issued 3,690,000 shares in aggregate for employee’s compensation and services rendered to the Company. The fair value of $438,372 is determined with refer to the closing stock price of $0.1188 on the date of issue.
