SCIENTIFIC ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Scientific Energy, Inc., (the Company), 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. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2009 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 8, 2010.
Business and Basis of Presentation
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. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise to an operating company.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, PDI Global Limited (a Hong Kong corporation, PDI). PDI, in turn, is the 100% owner and consolidates Sinoforte Limited, a Hong Kong corporation Superior Ventures Corp. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts Receivable
The Company assesses the realization of its receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Through these evaluations, the Company may become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial viability, credit ratings or bankruptcy. The Companys reserve requirements are based on the best facts available to the Company and are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The Companys reserves are also based on amounts determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. Allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable was $48,284 and $0 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
On December 17, 2003, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The staff updated and revised the existing revenue recognition in Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, to make its interpretive guidance consistent with current accounting guidance, principally Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605-25 (ASC 605-25), "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Also, SAB 104 incorporates portions of the Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document that the SEC staff
6
considered relevant and rescinds the remainder. The company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with this guidance; therefore, this guidance will not have an immediate impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services has not been rendered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services has been rendered or no refund will be required.
Revenues on the sale of products, net of estimated costs of returns and allowance, are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers, legal title has passed, and all significant contractual obligations of the Company have been satisfied. Products are generally sold on open accounts under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers and generally does not require collateral to secure the accounts receivable.
Segment information
ASC 280-10 which establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company applies the management approach to the identification of our reportable operating segment as provided in accordance with ASC 280-10. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Companys principal operating segment
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Available for Sale Securities
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses and charges for other-than-temporary impairments are included in determining net income, with related purchase costs based on the first-in, first-out method. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net realized loss of $211,829 from the purchase and sale of securities transactions. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company did not have available-for-sale securities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company maintained $3,026,140 and $4,333,716 in foreign bank accounts not subject to FDIC coverage.
As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, one customer represented 100% of the Companys accounts receivable ($1,430,759 and $424,746, respectively).
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
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.
7
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (ASC 220-10) which establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into US Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (ASC 830-10). Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders equity (deficit). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.
Property, plant and equipment
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Office |
| 3 years |
|
Furniture and fixtures |
| 3 years |
|
Vehicles |
| 4 years |
|
The Company evaluates the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
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 did not have any inventory as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. There were no advertising expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods data to conform to the current years presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 820-10 (the Fair Value Topic) which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP for assets and liabilities that are recognized using fair values on a recurring basis. The Fair Value Topic defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.
8
There are three general valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value, as described below:
A) Market approachUses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Prices may be indicated by pricing guides, sale transactions, market trades, or other sources;
B) Cost approachBased on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and
C) Income approachUses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about the future amounts (includes present value techniques, and option-pricing models). Net present value is an income approach where a stream of expected cash flows is discounted at an appropriate market interest rate.
The Company had no assets and liabilities that were measured on a recurring basis at fair value for the year ended March 31, 2010 using the market and income approaches.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings Per Share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period. The Company has no stock options, warrants or other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding at March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Loss per common share-basic and diluted | $ | (0.00) | $ | (0.00) |
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (ASC 740-10) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income for reporting purposes and income tax purposes include, but are not limited to equity based compensation and depreciation and amortization. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-09 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) (2010-09). 2010-09 clarifies the interaction of Accounting Standards Codification 855 Subsequent Events (Topic 855) with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) as well as the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events found in paragraph 855-10-50-4 in Topic 855.

Overview
In January 2009, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary PDI Global Ltd., entered into a joint venture agreement with China Resources Development Group Ltd. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to invest $43,040,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately US$5.55 million) into a joint venture company Sinoforte Ltd. in Hong Kong (Sinoforte). 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 minority investor cancelled their investments in Sinoforte, and the full amount of their original investments was returned. As a result, Sinoforte became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
As a reseller, the main business of Sinoforte is trading mineral products such as graphite produced in China. Since the second quarter of 2009, Sinoforte has started to generate sales. We expect our business to continue to grow.

Our sources of working capital are limited. Our current proposed business plan may call for additional capital. To finance any business operations, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, and, in the case of equity financings, would result in dilution to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that such additional financing, when and if necessary, will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing the financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We re-evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our financial statements.
