SCIENTIFIC ENERGY, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 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 June 30, 2009, the Company was 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 June 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 three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $354 and $183, 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.
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 June 30, 2009, no allowance for doubtful accounts is made.
Note Receivable
The Note Receivable of the Company is considered short-term. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. As of June 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 SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). Under SFAS 128, 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 May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). Statement 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, Statement 165 provides (i) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (ii) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (iii) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2009.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 on June 30, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166). SFAS 166 is a revision to SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets and where companies have continuing exposure to the risk related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosure. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 is intended to improve financial reporting by providing additional guidance to companies involved with variable interest entities and by requiring additional disclosures about a companys involvement in variable interest entities. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS 167 on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. On the effective date of this standard, FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) will become the source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards for nongovernmental entities, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 168.

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 SFAS No. 109 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.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company has no tax positions at June 30, 2009 and 2008 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at June 30, 2009 and 2008.

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.
