NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nextmart, Inc (the Company), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities, or VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but which are less than majority owned and not otherwise controlled by the Company, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No.46R consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, FIN 46R, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No.51. FIN 46R requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIEs or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIEs residual returns. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses for the periods that the financial statements are prepared. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, marketable securities, other payables, and factoring in loans. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Business combinations
We are creating this business through the ongoing acquisition of various entities and assets. The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in line with FASB141. This method requires that the acquisition cost be allocated to the assets and liabilities the Company acquired based on their fair value. Pursuant to FAB-141, the Company recognizes intangible assets separate from goodwill if they meet one of two criteriathe contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. The Company makes estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, based on independent appraisal reports for material purchases as well as its experience with similar assets and liabilities in similar industries. If different judgments or assumptions were used, the amounts assigned to the individual acquired assets or liabilities could be materially different. When considering whether an acquired assets group constitutes a business, the Company used the criteria defined by EITF 98-3 determining Whether a Non-monetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business.
Goodwill and intangible assets, net
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the Companys acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries and VIEs. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, FAS No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, FAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but tested for impairment upon first adoption and annually, thereafter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment periodically in accordance with SFAS 142.
The Company applies the criteria specified in SFAS No.141, Business Combinations to determine whether an intangible asset should be recognized separately from goodwill. Intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if they satisfy either the contractual-legal or separability criterion. Per SFAS 142, intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No.144, accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews the amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible assets at least annually or when events or changes in
7
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The recoverability of an intangible asset to be held and used is evaluated by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible asset to its future net undiscounted cash flows. If the intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset, calculated using a discounted future cash flow analysis. The Company uses estimates and judgments in its impairment tests, and if different estimates or judgments had been utilized, the timing or the amount of the impairment charges could be different.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company assesses the carrying value of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No.144, accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. Factors considered important which could trigger this review include a significant decrease in operating results, a significant change in its use of assets, competitive factors, strategy of its business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. The company cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment-triggering events nor the impact such events might have on the reported asset values. Such events may include strategic decisions made in response to the economic conditions relative to product lines, operations and the impact of the economic environment on our customer base. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable based on as assessment of future cash flows from the use of those assets, an impairment charge to record the assets at fair value may be recorded. Impairment is measured based on fair values utilizing estimated discounted cash flow, published thirty-party sources, and third-party offers.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with FASB No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Loss). The comprehensive loss for the Company includes currency translation adjustments and unrealized loss on marketable securities.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first out method) or market. Certain inventory goods purchased are subject to spoilage within a short period of time while in possession of the Company. Inventory costs do not exceed net realizable value.
Property, Plant and equipment
Property, Plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over the following estimated useful lives:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Years |
|
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
| 3-10 |
|
Revenue recognition
We generate revenue through the provision of consulting services. We recognize revenues from consulting services in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, when all of the following conditions exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists in the form of providing consulting services; or services have been rendered; the Companys consulting fee received from the clients is fixed or determinable pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues includes salary and other related costs for our management services and technical support staff, as well as third-party contractor expenses. Additionally cost of revenues includes fees for hosting facilities, bandwidth costs, and equipment and related depreciation costs. Cost of revenues will vary significantly from period to period depending on the level of management services provided.
8
Trade receivables and allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to minimize credit risk. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on managements estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable after analyzing historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Specifically, the Company reviews the aged accounts receivables listing for balances that are specifically identifiable as credit risks or uncollectible, and may use its judgment for calculation of allowances for doubtful accounts.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. As the Company has a loss, presenting diluted net loss per share is considered anti-dilutive and not included in the statement of operations.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, since the functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (RMB), the foreign currency financial statements of the Companys subsidiaries are re-measured into U.S. dollars (USD). Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the foreign rate that prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates of exchange during the year and stockholders equity accounts and capital asset accounts are translated by using historical exchange rates. Any translation gain or loss incurred is reported in the consolidated statement of operations. In 2009, we used 6.8268 RMB per USD for the weighted average rate, and we used 6.8353 RMB per USD as the balance sheet date rate (June 30, 2009).
Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. The tax loss arising from PRC can be carried forward for five years. Agreed tax losses by respective local tax authorities can be offset against future taxable profits of the respective companies. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the future benefit, or if the future deductibility is uncertain.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services (EITF 96-18). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party, or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Deferred Charges
9
Payments made for future expenses were amortized over the life of service received.
Convertible Notes and Notes Issued with Stock Warrants
The Company accounts for convertible notes and notes issued with stock warrants in accordance with APB No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. The proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes are allocated between the debt and the equity. The Company books a discount on convertible notes for the conversion feature of the notes and warrants and amortizes the discount over the life of the debt.
Reclassification
The comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES, WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS
On March 22, 2007, we executed a subscription agreement with certain accredited investors, including Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund Ltd, pursuant to which we agreed to issue a principal amount worth $1,500,000 in senior convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The financing was closed on March 29, 2007.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the notes and warrants were $1,500,000. The convertible notes are due three years from the date of issuance. We prepaid all interest due under the convertible notes through the issuance of 1.5 million shares of our common stock. The notes are initially convertible into our common shares at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. After the occurrence of an event of default under the notes, the conversion price adjusts to eighty percent (80%) of the volume weighted average price of our common shares for the five trading days prior to a conversion date. The discount on warrants fair value increases from $(500,379) as at September 30, 2008 to $62,516 as at March 31, 2009.
On February 6, 2009, we closed a Convertible Debt Settlement Agreement with these accredited investors (Settlement Agreement) pursuant to which we have re-purchased all of the outstanding senior convertible notes. Under the Settlement Agreement, in exchange for canceling the notes and underlying agreements, we agreed to pay back the principal amount of the Notes ($1,500,000), and $610,126 in interest and default penalties. We paid $250,000 of the $1,500,000 in the principal amount at closing, and are obligated to pay $250,000 every 90 days from closing until the principal is paid in full. As of May 9, 2009, an additional $250,000 was due and payable. We made a payment of $150,000 of the amount due in July 2009 and $100,000 of the May payment remains outstanding. We agreed to pay interest and penalties of $610,126 in the form of common shares of CEC Unet Plc. (AIM: CECU) which we hold. The payment is due 90 days from closing date. The amount of CECU shares payable to the investors is calculated by using the lowest bid price of the CECU shares for the five days prior to the payment date minus 10%. The securities of CECU are currently subject to a trading suspension on the AIM Market. If on the stated payment date, the CECU Shares are not trading on the AIM Market, then we are required to pay the amount in cash or cash equivalents. As of the date of this report, we have not made the interest and penalty payment to these investors. The parties also amended the Warrants to remove any registration rights and purchase price reset provisions, among other changes. As additional consideration, limited mutual releases were given by the parties. We received a loan in the amount of $250,000 from Redrock Capital Venture Limited, a BVI company (Redrock), and we used these funds to
11
make the initial payment under the Settlement Agreement. Dr. Bruno Wu, our former Chairman and an influential person of our company, is the Chairman of Redrock, however, Dr. Wu has no ownership interest in Redrock. Dr. Wus wife, Ms. Yang Lan, is the majority shareholder of Redrock. She is also the controlling shareholder of Sun Media Investment Holdings, one of our shareholders. The loan from Redrock is due on demand and bears no interest.

NOTE 10- COMMON STOCK
On March 9, 2009, as previously reported, we completed a Subscription Agreement with Redrock Venture Capital Ltd (Redrock), a BVI company, under which we agreed to issue up to $1,500,000 of our senior convertible notes (Senior Notes) to Redrock. At closing, we issued $1,250,000 in Senior Notes in exchange for the cancellation of demand notes for the same principal amount held by Redrock. As a result, a total of $250,000 remained unsubscribed under the Subscription Agreement. On April 15, 2009, Redrock converted the $1,250,000 Senior Note into 83,333,333 shares of our common stock.

Redrock has since paid the $250,000 to us under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. In connection with that payment, on June 1, 2009, we issued a Senior Note in the amount of $250,000.

We also are required to issue 500,000 shares of our common stock to Redrock as prepaid interest for the Senior Note as provided under the Subscription Agreement.

Overview
As reported on our Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2009, we entered into a subscription and asset sale agreement (the Agreement) with Beijing Hua Hui Hengye Investment Lt. (Hua Hui), an unaffiliated PRC company. Hua Hui is part of The Beijing Hua Hui Corporation, a PRC real estate construction and development conglomerate that specializes in constructing and developing travel, resort, hotel, and apartment properties in popular tourist and other destinations within China.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company received from Hua Hui the commercial income rights to 10,000 square meters the Huadun Changde International Hotel located in the city of Changde in Chinas Hunan Province (Project). The Project is currently under development by Hua Hui. The parties have valued the commercial income rights at RMB115,000,000 (US$16,821,719). As consideration, the Company shall pay RMB100,000,000 (US$14,627,812), to be satisfied by issuing Hua Hui 250,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at US$0.024 per share (the closing price of the Companys common stock on the transaction date) for a total stock value of approximately RMB41,000,000 (or US$6,000,000),and the transfer of certain company assets valued at approximately RMB59,000,000 (US$8,630,273). Upon completion of the transaction, Hua Hui will become the Companys majority shareholder and will own approximately 56.41% Companys outstanding shares.
As a result of this transaction, our new business strategy is to offer private member health club memberships to wealthy Chinese and to sell self-branded health products via direct sales channels. This product and services model will be rolled out in two phases. Phase One is to establish its Demao Tang Clubs as private member health clubs that offer specialized health services and products to its members. These clubs would provide first class preventative and recovery care using the most modern methods and products. We plan to develop this club concept in cooperation with top tier membership clubs and health care services companies specializing in preventative and recovery care. To begin, the Company plans to partner with Chinas most elite members clubs to embed its Demao Tang clubs and related health services and products into these existing operations. To that end, we are in final discussions with existing elite clubs in Beijing and Shanghai and expect to enter into partnership with these clubs sometime during the second half of calendar 2009. The Company also plans to develop its own Demao Tang clubs at independent locations, as in the case of the Hunan Club. Revenues from the planned clubs would be derived from the sale of memberships to its clubs and the sale of private label and third party health products and services within the clubs.
15
In order to provide its planned health services and products to club members, we plan to selectively partner with leading health service and technology providers to provide our members with state of the art medical screening and certain treatment procedures. We are currently in final stage discussions with potential partners that would provide: 1) an infrared automatic screening system, which is used to identify various ailments and diseases at an early stage; 2) DNA testing for cervical cancer; 3) cancer recovery and anti-aging treatments; 4) stem cell based recovery and restorative treatments. These services would be complimented by a range of leading health products including herbal medicines. The health services and product partnerships would be managed by us at each of the planned health clubs, which will allow Demao Tang clubs to offer its high-end members with holistic health solutions and a comfortable environment in which to undergo their desired health treatment.
Phase Two involves the direct sales for Demao Tang branded or third party health products. These products would include certain types of supplements and herbal and homeopathetic medicines as well as general health and anti-aging products designed to restore and maintain health and well-being. We will partner with established producers to self-brand already developed and government approved supplements, herbal medicines, and general health products. We do not intend to develop and manufacture its own health products, but rather carefully select and brand existing products with the Demao Tang brand name. In order to minimize product costs, product partnerships will be done through profit sharing agreements. This light weight product sales model eliminates many of the costs associated with the development and sale of health products. The direct sales channel would initially include our private member health clubs and our own online direct sales platform. The Company is also considering launching a small network of self-owned retail stores in major Chinese cities to sell our Demao Tang products in the second half of 2010, after which the Company plans to expand the network through franchising.
We expect to successfully sell club memberships and Demao Tang branded health products through its access (via its various affiliates) to a network of media channels which includes over 70 print media and 700 online media channels including online sales channels, many of which target our desired market: Chinas rich and influential. Existing data indicates that China now has 900,000 people with over RMB10,000,000 in assets, of which 100,000 have over RMB100,000,000 in assets. We believe that as Chinas economy continues its explosive growth, the number of Chinese consumers able and willing to access top quality health services will grow exponentially. Our health services and product business model is based on our assessment of the needs of the emerging Chinese healthcare market as it seeks to increase care capacity. We believe that lack of access to top-quality preventative treatments and particularly recovery care for major diseases like cancer is inversely matched by the demand among an ever expanding class of affluent Chinese consumers. By providing private, high-class health clubs and direct sales channels through which our branded health products and are directly provided to affluent customers, we believe we will be well placed to meet that demand.
We remind investors that our plans to re-focus our business to participate in the health club industry in China, specifically cancer treatment is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. We can not predict whether we will be successful in identifying, selecting and investing in business, technologies, or treatments that will prove successful in our new business efforts. Our efforts will be subject to our ability to raise additional funds (which in turn will cause dilution to existing shareholders), formal agreements with numerous parties, certain asset valuations, and various approvals including, but not limited to, debt holder approval, approval of professionals, and other regulatory approval. Therefore, we can not predict with certainty whether we will be successful in our re-structuring efforts. As this time, we can not predict the exact combination of efforts required to achieve our strategy. As of the date of this report, we are in the process of formulating our plan, and have not entered into any formal agreements regarding any of the forgoing. It is conceivable that we may enter into merger, share exchange, direct investment, consulting, joint venture, or licensing agreements or a combination thereof, with targeted companies. If we are required to issue our common stock in connection with our strategy, it is likely that significant dilution will result to existing shareholders. Moreover, as a result of one or more such transactions, a change of control of our company may result due to the issuance of our common stock.
Prior to fiscal year 2008, we had planned to develop an integrated online-offline direct sales platform for the ladies' apparel sector in China. However, our business and business strategy were adversely impacted in a material manner due to the appreciation of the Chinese currency (yuan) against the US dollar (which resulted in US consumers paying higher prices for products manufactured in China), coupled with an already weak US retail market. Accordingly, we were unable to meet our projected operating results and milestones for the various periods. The lack of operating results adversely impacted our stock price during the applicable periods. Due to the depressed price of our common stock together with the overall world-wide financial market turmoil, we were unable to raise the necessary funds to support our expansion strategy.
16
Consequently in May 2008, as indicated above, we determined to change our business focus initially attempting to focus on the financial advisory/direct investments. As mentioned above, we have redirected this focus towards the healthcare industry in China.
Results of Operations
The following discussion relates to our existing internet and marketing consulting businesses. We provide internet based marketing and web-site development services to other companies in China. The discussions below exclude the results of operations of our businesses held for sale discussed elsewhere herein, except for the (Loss) Income from held for sale operations discussion below. As a result of our recent transaction with Hua Hui, the results of operations discussed below may not be meaningful in potentially assessing future operations of the Company.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
Sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we had $57,215 in sales while there was no revenue from operations for the comparable period in 2008.
Cost of Sales. Our costs of sales for the 2009 period and 2008 period were $18,593 and $0 respectively. Cost of Sales represents personnel cost of the consulting business.
Gross Margin. As a result of the foregoing, our gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $38,622 and $0, respectively.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses (which includes general and administrative expenses, consulting and professional fees, and depreciation and amortization) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $232,799, a decrease of $ 882,190 or 79.12% from $1,114,989 for the corresponding 2008 period. General and administrative expenses were $174,209 for the 2009 period, a decrease of $560,795 or 76.3% from $735,004 for the 2008 comparable period. The decrease for the 2009 period is due to reduced salaries and related expenses at our corporate office as a result of our scaled down operations.

Our total assets as of June 30, 2009 were $10,335,408. Our total liabilities as of June 30, 2009 were $5,772,563. As of June 30, 2009, we had working capital of $(603,763) compared with $1,501,687 as of September 30, 2008. The decrease is due to cash used in operations, the reduction in marketable securities, and increases in other payables, accrued expenses.
We continue to experience significant losses from operations. We are uncertain as to when we will achieve profitable operations. We have an immediate need for capital to conduct our ongoing operations and to advance the planned venture investment strategy. We anticipate raising capital through additional private placements of our equity securities, proceeds received from the exercise of outstanding warrants and options, and, if available on satisfactory terms, debt financing. We can not guarantee that we will be successful in our efforts to enhance our liquidity. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to meet our cash requirements as described above, we may be required to curtail, suspend, or discontinue our current and/or proposed operations. Our inability to raise additional funds as described above may forced us to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could adversely impact our business and business strategy, and the value of our capital stock. Due to the current price of our common stock, any common stock based financing may create significant dilution to the then existing shareholders. In addition, in order to conserve capital and to provide incentives for our employees and service providers, it is conceivable that we may issue stock for services in the future which also may create significant dilution to existing shareholders.
The Company's new business plan has two interelated models: 1) developing a network of Demao Tang branded health clubs; 2) Initiating a direct sales business for Demao Tang branded health products. The company plans to roll out its new business plan by initially focusing on developing its network of Demao Tang health clubs. To the end, in 2009 and 2010 we are planning to open up three Demao Tang clubs in Beijing, Shanghai, and Huangshan Mountain respectively. For these three clubs, the Company plans to partner with Chinas most elite members clubs to embed its Demao Tang clubs and related health services and products into their existing operations. In order to launch the development and marketing of these initial Demao Tang Clubs, we anticipate that we will incur at total of RMB20,000,000 (or approximately US$ 2,925,516) expenditures during the fiscal years 2009 and 2010 . The Company expects that most of the incurred costs for developing the health club business will be financed by our major shareholders Beijing Hua Hui Hengye Investment Ltd. and Redrock Capital Venture Ltd, with any additional funds to be raised through third parties. However, presently, we do not have any commitments for such funds. The issuance of our common stock to riase funds will likely cause significant dilution to existing shareholders.
In 2010 we plan to develop our direct sales model. For direct sales business, we plan to partner with established producers to self-brand already developed and government approved supplements, herbal medicines, and general health products. To begin with, we plan to sell these health products through online direct sales platforms.our network of Demao Tang clubs and other partnered elite members clubs. At this time we expect that the operational capital for our initial direct sales business would be RMB5,000,000 (or US$731,379) a year. We expected that the majority of these operational costs can be funded by selling our Demao Tang Club membership cards for the three clubs mentioned above. The initial price of membership cards are expected to vary between RMB50,000 to RMB 500,000 (US$7,313 to US$73,138), depending on the services purchased
19
by club member.
Contractual Obligations
The majority of our operations are in China, where we have leased offices in Beijing. Our Beijing office consists of 8,740 square feet. The lease extends for a period of two years terminating on July 31, 2011. Our annual rent is $192,569. At June 30, 2009, the total future commitments for minimum rentals payment are $48,142 for fiscal 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholder's equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements previously included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial reporting period.
Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We consider the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements as their application places the most significant demand on our management's judgment.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue through consulting services and recognize such revenues from consulting services in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, when all of the following conditions exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists in the form of providing consulting services; or services have been rendered; the Companys consulting fee received from the clients is fixed or determinable pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as described in Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets would increase our income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, if we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets would be charged to our income in the period such determination is made. We record income tax expense on our taxable income using the balance sheet liability method at the effective rate applicable in China in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
