NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2014

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Basis and Business Presentation

Scientific Energy, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on May 30, 2001.  Prior to August 2011, the Company was principally devoted to the buying and selling of various types and grades of graphite, such as medium- and high-carbon graphite, high-purity graphite, micro-powder graphite and expandable graphite.   In August 2011, the Company decided to engage in a business of e-commerce platform. Currently the Company is in the process of developing a website, which provides an e-commerce platform, where registered members can exchange goods and services.

On February 28, 2012, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Makeliving Ltd., which was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to engage in a business of e-commerce platform.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position and the results of operations of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Makeliving, Ltd. and PDI Global Limited (a British Virgin Islands corporation, “PDI”).  PDI, in turn, is the 100% owner and consolidates Sinoforte Limited, a Hong Kong corporation.  

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Statements

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP 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. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which 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 or 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.

ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”).  ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.  The effect of implementing ASC 605-25 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant.

The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have 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

6

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.

The Company is exploring web based e-commerce to bring buyers and sellers together recognizing revenue as commissions on closed transactions.

Segment information

ASC 280-10 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.  All sales and substantial assets of the Company are in China. The Company applies the management approach to the identification of our reportable operating segments as provided in accordance with ASC 280-10.  The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s 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 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable.  Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company maintained $1,053,715 and $1,305,537 in foreign bank accounts not subject to FDIC coverage

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.

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.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into US Dollars (“USD”) 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 stockholders’ equity (deficit).  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on

7

transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.

The conversion rates of Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) to USD at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $7.7511 and $7.7544, respectively and average rates of $7.7557 and $7.7586 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company uses historical rates for stockholders’ equity accounts.

Property, plant and equipment

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

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.

The Company has two vehicles that are provided for business and personal use of the Company’s President and CEO.  The net book value of these vehicles was $-0- and $3,442, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3,638 and $3,638, respectively; and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $21,734 and $43,543, respectively.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred.  Advertising expenses were $-0- for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014; and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $128,400 and $273,167, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This topic does not require any new fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

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 June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

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 1 to our financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information in this Item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")).  Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
