SCIENTIFIC ENERGY, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Scientific Energy, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on May 30, 2001. The business plan of the Company is to enter into natural resources industry in China. As of September 30, 2009, we have begun our principle operations and have obtained significant revenues. Therefore, we are no longer in the development stage.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, PDI Global Limited and Sinoforte Limited. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's results of operations and financial position for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto of Scientific Energy, Inc. included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could vary from those estimates, and those variances might be significant.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Office equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $596 and $314, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 Revenue Recognition (SAB No. 104). Sales revenues are recognized when the products are shipped to the customers, net of discounts and collectibility is reasonably assured.
6
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on a review of specifically identified accounts and aging data. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. As of September 30, 2009, no allowance for doubtful accounts is made.
Inventory
The Company values inventories, consisting of purchased graphite products, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the First-in and First-out method. The Company regularly reviews its inventories on hand and, when necessary, records a provision for excess or obsolete inventories. The Company determined that there was no inventory obsolescence as of September 30, 2009.
Note Receivable
The Note Receivable of the Company is considered short-term. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. As of September 30, 2009, no allowance was recorded.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all its subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Companys subsidiaries to present them in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Income (loss) per Share
Income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to the provisions of FASC Topic 260. Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share reflects the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities such as unvested restricted common stock and convertible preferred stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification or ASC) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), Subsequent Events, SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles- a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASUs No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2009-15 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold and the investors purchased an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate consideration of $400,000 in cash.
On January 25, 2007, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to affect a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock in which every ten (10) outstanding shares would be combined into one (1) share. All share transactions disclosed in these financial statements give retroactive effect to this 1:10 reverse split.
On May 15, 2008, the Company issued 90,000,000 shares to eighteen investors in a private placement in exchange for an aggregate consideration of $5,400,000 in cash.
Note 5 - Transactions with Related Parties

Note 6 Establishment of a Subsidiary
On January 21, 2008, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary PDI Global Ltd., which was incorporated under the laws of Territory of the British Virgin Islands on January 21, 2008, entered into a joint venture agreement with China Resources Development Group Ltd., a Hong Kong company. Under the agreement, a joint venture company, Kabond Investments Limited (the JVC), has been established in Hong Kong, and the Company invested $39.6 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately USD$5.09 million) into the JVC for 72% of the JVCs capital shares, and China Resources Development Group Ltd., jointly with its partner, invested $15.4 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately USD$1.98 million) into the JVC to receive 28% of the JVCs capital shares.
On December 22, 2008, all equity interest of the JVC, Kabond Investments Ltd., owned by the Company, was sold to Silverbird Holdings Limited for $39.6 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately USD$5,109,743).
On January 15, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary PDI Global Ltd., entered into a joint venture agreement with China Resources Development Group Ltd., ("China Resources"). Under the agreement, the Company invested $43,040,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately US$5.55 million) into a joint venture company Sinoforte Ltd in Hong Kong. The Company got 80% of Sinoforte's capital shares, and China Resources invested $10,222,000 Hong Kong dollars, approximately US$1,318,967, and another investor invested HK$538,000, or approximately US$69,419, into Sinoforte for 19% and 1% of Sinoforte's capital shares, respectively. The main business of Sinoforte is trading mineral products such as graphite produced in China.
In June 2009 and September 2009, respectively, China Resources and the other small investor cancelled their investments to the Company, and the full amount of their original investments was returned. As a result, Sinoforte become the 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. Please also see Note 9 below.
Note 7 Income Taxes
The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under FASC 718-740-20 to give effect to the temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods and allowances based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years. Minimal development stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carry-forwards (net operating losses) have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods.
8

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that may have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense 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 applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are 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.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our financial statements. While all of these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements.
